Dr. Swcnson's address was o treatise of
the political situation from a republican
standpoint and was Interpolated throughout

the- cheering news," he said, "from all over
tbo central part of tho union that there arc i
sorno republicans' left yet. It has been my j

asked why It wns there nro so many "blood
purifiers, torvo tonics," nnd mndlclncs for
every 111 except ono of tho most common
and nmioylng diseases, viz., piles.
Ho replied, there are two principal rea
sons: First, physicians and people in gen
eral have thought for years that tho only
permnneut euro for piles wns a surgical
operation nnd that modlcinnl preparations
were simply palliatives and not a euro for
tho trouble.
Another reason Is that plies, unllko many
other diseases, is in no sense nn imaginary
trouble. A sufferer from piles Is very much
awaro of tho fact and for this reason the
few pile salves and ointments, etc., hnvo
Peon short lived because the patient very
ioon discovered their wurthlcssness.
Ho continues: However, t' ero Is n nor?

I CHINA.
Peculiarities of the Pawnshop lltml
uvhh In the FliMTcry Klneilntii.
What tho public house or hotel Is to nn
English town, says tho London Express,
the pawnshop Is to a Chinese community.
Its lofty Holld building roars Itself above
the houses and forms tho most prominent
feattiro of tho blrd's-eyo view of any city
or town. They are now national Institu
tions nnd were known to exist In the days
of Confucius, over 2,500 yxars ago.
In thoso days usurers charged exorbitant
Interest for money lent, nnd very fre
quently tho borrowor disappeared with his
booty for nood. To one ingenious lender
thero came nn Idea. As hostages were
given In war as a guarantee of good faith
why should not borrowers deposit pledges
for tho money lont them? Thus originated
pawnbrokltiB In China. Tho pawnshop is
a square building, towering to some seventy
or eighty feet above tho ground. Tho first
twenty feut aro built of solid cranlto, tho
romalndcr ef best brick. As precautions
against lire snd thieves, thoy aro most sol
idly built. No woodwork Is allowed on tho
outside nnd the walls nre rnlsed soveral
feet abovo tho roof. The windows aro very
small and tightly laced with thick Iron
bars, and Inside aro Iron shutters to repel
flames.
The eight or ton-storied building stands
sovoral foct back from tho street lino.
There Is a smell doorway and bublnd It
stands a wooden screen bearing the name
of tho pawnshop. Instead of the English
"threo balls" tho Chinese pawning sign
consists of two. This represents tho bottle
gourd, used In China as a naturnl Ufa
buoy and thus proclaims tho pawnshop as
"tho life preserver."
Behind this signboard Is a small court
yard, whoro all business Is transacted. Tho
front of tho shop Is' fenced off with Iron
bars, like a ljon's cage, six feet above the1
ground. Thu ChlnaBu comlna; to pawn his
winter clothes hands up the bundlo to tho
broker behind the bars.
Tho Chlncso "undo" fixes tho price,
gives tho "nophow" n ticket nnd tbo money;
tho plcdgo Is ticketed and packed away,
Just as In Euglnnd.
Tho rates of Interest nre high. On ad
vances of less than 10 shillings 36 per cent
per annum Is charged; from 10 shillings to
1 21 per cent nnd on larger sums slightly
less.
But during tho winter months nrtlclcs
can be redeemed at a reduction of one
third In the interest ns a concession to tho
needs of the poor.
A plcdgo may hold good for threo years.
After thnt time It cannot bo redeemed.
Periodically tho pawnshops sell off their
unredeemed pledges to second-hand shops,
sales direct to the- public being forbidden.
On migrating to Australia, America or
olscwhero the Chinaman pawns his imple
ments of wotsbip censer, urn, tripod, etc.,
thus leaving them In security till his re
turn. Pawnshops nro also used as banks.
A man hnvlng saved some money consigns
It to tho pawnbroker for safo custody, pay
ing a smnll fee for the privilege. From
time to tlmo ho Is admitted to see that his
treasure Is still Intact or to add to It.
There aro threo classes of pawnshops In
China. The largest are. of course, tho more
tespectablo, while tho smaller houses aro
more crimping in their business, Doth aro
duly licensed by the government and pay an
annual fee. Thorn aro alto small secret
pawnshops existing outside the law and only
by connivance with tbo officials, whose
complncency Is purchased. In China tho
business of pawnbroklng Is honorable and
followed by tho highest men lu the king
dom. Much of LI Hung Chang's vast wealth
has come ami, still comes front his flvo
largo pawnshops. He is pawnbroker as wall
i as viceroy.
Tho Chinese "uncle's" great enemies nre
flro and thloves. If tire originates In tho
; shop tho proprietor muse pay tho full value
; of all pledges destroyed. If tho bulldlug Is
I wrecked by n flro starting outside the owner
lo exempt snvo for a small percentage. As
to robbers cartloads of stones are stored to
repel an attack prompted by the rich booty
of the pawnshop. Tho attendants are also
armed, but not Infrequently the places aro
wrecked by gangs of robbers,

HAZLKTON. Pa., Sept. 29. "We arc clos
ing tho mines and awaiting developments,"
wns all that President Mitchell of the
United Mlno Workers would say tonight
when asked whether he had received any
information from New York or elsewhere
as to what tho operators nre doing In their
efforts to settle the coal strike. Although
he hns diplomatically evaded the question,
there is a sttong belief hero that Mr.
Mitchell Is kept fully ndieei of tho progress
of events In the metropolis.
If the reported advance of 10 per cent
has been finnlly ugrced upon It has not so
far ns can be learned been offered lo nny
of tho mlno workers In tho anthracite
region. Taking Mr. Mitchell's statement
that a 10 per cent advanco would not bo
satisfactory as an Indication that It would
not be nccepted by tho miners' organization,
It Is thought In somo quarters hero that
there would be a break In tho ranks of the
strikers which It would bo dluicult to stop
should tho offer to their employes be made
by the operators. On tho other hand, Presi
dent Mitchell and his colleagues nre post
tlvo In asserting their belief that tho men
now Idlo will not waver and that they
would stanil together until the Joint con
vention of the threo anthracite dUtrh ts calls
tho strike off.
Tho entire Lehigh valley was about as
quiet today ns it could possibly be. Rain
Is falling here tonight. Tho snmo number
of collieries wero working ns wcro In opera
tion yesterday. Roth sides to tho contest
claim accessions to their ranks In tho Hazle
ton district.
President Mitchell said to n reporter for
tho Associated Press today that his tele
gram to tho soft coal region of central
Pennsylvania requesting mine workers thero
not to load coal cars which nro destined
for tho nnthracito coal market hna had the
desired effect.

NEW YORK. Sept. 29. Anthraclto coal
was quoted $1 n ton cheaper today than It
was two days ago. This was taken as an
Indication that the railroads and others
with stocks of coal on hand regard an early
settlement of the miners' strike as probable.
Tho railroad officials, however, refused to
say to what point tho negotiations to this
end had progressed, but It was learned that
tho operators have practically agreed not
to entirely Ignore the union In making a
settlement. Tho present plan Is hclleved
to bo to place concessions before the meu
nt tho dilferent collieries aud ask them to
return to work pending tho settlement of
remaining differences by arbitration.
Regarding the extent to which tho
minors' organization Is to be recognized, It
Is said that tho men will have tho matter
placed beforo thorn at meetings of the local
unions. According to a Wall street news
agency, thero will not bo n uniform rate
of increase proposed throughout the dis
trict, owing to varying conditions accord
ing to different places, but thore will be
no advance of less than 10 per cent on
present wages.
Much Interest Is felt here In the confer
onco to bo held in Shenandoah, Pa., this
afternoon between General (lobln. Sheriff
Toole nnd representatives of the operators
and miners. It was bollnved here tho con
ference would result In the l-imedlato with
drawal of troops, whero their presence Is
known to bo very distasteful to tho union
miners. Tho railroad officials hero ex
pressed tho belief that with tho mllltln out
of the way It would bo caster to como to
an agreement with tho strikers.
Vice President Sayer of the Lehigh Val
ly Coal company said today that ho had
seen John Marklo of tho Jeddo collieries on
matters couccrnlng tho strike, but tho out
come ha refused to discuss. President Wal
tor of lln'samo company refused to bo In
terviewed. President W. II. Tritesilalo of
tho Lehigh Valley company said tho situa
tion was ucchanged. J. P. Morgan was not
nt his olllco.
One of the coal sales agents of tho Lehigh
Valley company said that a few men had
charge of tho plans for n settlement of tho
strike und until tho rc3iilt Is accomplished
they will not discuss affairs.
Tho Evening Post says today: "While
no tinal announcement of tho coal strlko
settlement is yot forthcoming, thoro was
today reliable authority for tho statement
that matters still under discussion aro of
dutall merely and that n satisfactory con
clusion will bo reached In a short time.
"It Is conceded overywhero In tho coal
trade thnt thu prico of coal after tho strlko
will novcr sottlo down to tho same level as
before. More than 10 per cent Increase In
wageB Is generally believed to bo tbo con
cession tho miners will demand and this
will mean, according to reliable estimates,
an increaso of fully 25 cents In tho cost of
every ton mined. This will maku tho cost
nt tho collieries about $2.75 a ton. Tho con
sumer, of course, will pay tho difference.
Moreover, thero will undoubtedly bo a
great demand for coal as soon as the strlko
Is over and perhaps a woek or ten days
dolay In supplying It."
According to tho Evening Post, a coal
operator said today that tho railroad presi
dents have submitted tho terms of a settle
ment to tho mlno superintendents, to learn
whether tho mines could bo operated profit
ably under thorn. Tho Post's Informant
thinks President Mitchell will get around
tho difficulty caused by tho non-recognltlon
of tho union In this way:
"Tho proposition, tho 10 per cent In
crease In wnges, or whatever It may be, will
be submitted separately to each chapter of
the Mlno Workers' union. When a chapter
votes to accept It nnd notilles President
Mitchell of Its action ho will endorse It
on the ground thut tho conditions In that
particular place warrant tho suspension of
dealings with the main union direct."

Sin; Iiik ( lose to the llcml

Mitchell said nt 10 o'clock this forenoon
that he knows no more today of any con
cessions than ho did yesterday. He ndded
thnt ho had received no Information during
the night or this morning on the subject of
n settlement of tho strike.
Mr. Mitchell, however, intimated that
something might turn up during tho course
of the day. lie Is not its active ns ho was
In the early days of tho strike, remaining
in his headquarters almost constantly. It
Is apparent from his manner that ho is ex
pecting news of somo sort.
A reporter for tho Associated Press re
ceived information today that a number of
the foreigners on Btrlko aro complaining
thnt they are becoming destitute and that
If tho strlko Is not soon ended or they do
not get help of somo kind they will be
forced to go back to work. None of tho
English-speaking mine workers on strike
have yet publicly made any complaint.
President Mitchell's attention was called to
tbo alleged destitution and asked If any
complaints had reached him. Ho said It
was tho first that ho had heard of It. IIo
preferred not to say anything when asked
whether relief measures had yet been agreed
upon to help tide over the mine workers
during the struggle.
Although President Mitchell Is Inactive
his lieutenants nro hustling ns much us
oer, holding meetings nil oer tho coal
region und urging the strikers to stand

to blow up with dynamite tho shanty oc
cupied by William Sholeolu, a non-striker,
at Green Ridge, near here. Tho housa
was but slightly damaged aud no one was
hurt. Tho explosive was placed against a
corner of the stnucture on the outside.
Sheleola claims that strikers threatened to
blow up his liouso If ho continued at work.
Tho authorities havo no clow to the Identity
of tho miscreant.
All mines that operated yesterday and
heretofore In tho Lehigh valley aro working

At 1 o'cldck this afternoon Prosldent
Mitchell said ho was awaiting develop
ments and hnd nothing further to say of
tho rumors of an effort on tho patt of tho
mlno operators to settle tho strlko by
granting concessions to tho mine workers.
Ho has not seen anybody except his lieu
tenants so far today, but ho had n talk on
tho long-dlstanco telephone. This conver

On Monday evening nn Important inoet
lng of tho Young Men's Heptibllcan club
will ho held nt the office of Mayor Kelly,
und It Is urged that every member who enn
possibly sparo tha tlmo arrauce to be pros
ent. Tho resignation of President Will
Tngg will he submitted and no doubt ac
cepted, as Mr. Tagg hna hUHlnees which will
call him away from the city until ele:tlon
day. For this reason Mr. Tagg fuels that
sumo younu man who can nttand to tho
duties of president should occupy tho po
sition ho now holds.
Asldo from thn golectlon of a president,
arrangements for the campaign will bo
mado. It is expected that headquarters will
be opened with a live secretary In charge,
and frequent mooting arranged for. 1'. A.
Vells has been suggested as n fitting per
son to fill tho position mado vucant by Mr.
Tagg. Others favor advancing Vice Presi
dent Deck to the executive chair, while still
otherB think that Harvey Mosoly would
mako an excellent presiding olllccr. Tho
contest for president Is entirely friendly
and It Is undorstood that the most uvailablo
man will bo chosen for tho position. At tho
present tlmo the club has a membership of
about .100, hut tho expectation Is that tho
roll will ho Increased to COO within the next
week or two.
Tho best of feeling provnlls among tho
members and tho club will not only work
in harmony for the cntiro tlckot, but will
put up nn nggresslvo campaign. While
working for tho cntiro ticket especial at
tention will bo paid to the campaign of
Schultz and Wilcox, tho two South Omaha
men on tho legislative ticket.
While somo of the republicans do not look
for u landslide llko that or last spring, they
assert thnt tho democratic majority hero
will bo greatly cut down, if not entirely
wiped out.
F.KTllrnt Sheep Mniicet Here.
South Omahu Is now considered the best
sheep market In tho country, as prices range
higher horo than n other river mnrkcts,
A day or two ago M.S. Koss camo lu from
Kemmer, Wyo., with a split shipment of
lambs. Hnlf of tho original shipment was
switched off and sent to n market lower
down the river. There was no difference In
tho quality of tho lambs. Thoso sold hero
wont to Armour for $5.15, whllo tho lower
river market paid only $5. Mr. Foss stated
that ho. was entirely satisfied with his ex
periment nnd that In tho futuro ho would
ship to South Omaha. Slnco January 1,
917,018 head of sheep havo boon sold at thlB
market, which Is an Increase of 89,330 head
over tho corresponding period of 1S09.

As a fender market South Omaha is nt
tho head of tho van Just now. A comparison
of figures shown thut for the last eight
weeks a decrease In feeder shipments is
shown at all of tho principal markets ex
cept South Omaha. Chicago shows a de
creoBo of 8,000 head, St. IOtils Is ulso 8,000
behind, with Kausas City 27,000 in the de
creaso column. South Omaha comes to the
front with an increaso during this period
of eight weeks of 10,000 head. A largo pro
