the city is real necessity, not mere
ly q plum that might be handed out
to Il.
Mr.. Hawley's second bill, that has
for its purpose the establishment OF
a mining experiment station. is in
line with an agitation that has occu-
pied the attention OF mining men for
many years. The national govern
ment has given less attention to the
mining man than to the man in al
most any other line Of activity. There
are appropriations and surveys and
experiment stations for the agricul-
turist. the horticulturist and the
stock-grower: the timberman Is as
sisted in every possible manner. but
little attention has been given to
that source OF wealth. the mine.
There Is every reason why Congress-
man Hawley's bills should pass, but
reason and a democratic majority
may be strangers.
