Connecticut was dubbed the wooden nutmeg slate because of her small pinch-penury deals. It was intended as a term of content at first, but only last week we saw two long trains of Christian Endeavor excur sionists, with long playcard reaching the whole length of the car, "From the Wooden Nutmeg Btate to the Golden Gate." The young people seemed proud of the title. f '" a a ''. The two cities at St. Anthony's falls are wealthy cities. Not in money loaned or in corporation stocks, but in busi ness. Here they stand between Clicugo and the great northwest, and what trade lo slipped through must be done on the sly. The first source of wraith was the Indian trade. Probably more buffalo skins and fur have been bought here of the red men than at any other place in the United States. Then followed the lumber aud wheat trade. Now it is general trade. Manufacturing plays no aroall part in their business rush.

Grace Lease, who is said to inherit much of ber mother s ability as an ora tor, although only twelve years of age in to begin lecturing in Kansas during the summer, The Ohio democratic state convention held last week declured unanimously for free silver and emphasized the fact that MuKinley was elected by coercion and the use of money. m . . r a .

Reports re ceded from the river mines tn tho Pittsburg district indicate that there is almost a total suspension of work in the pitts to-day and that the atrike, u r Ha me river miner are con cerned, is general. A dispatch from Monongahela City says: "me bitter feeling between the river and railroad miners that has al waya interfered when a strike waa In augurated heretofore and prevented gooa results, lias been lost sight of and organized, unorganized and im ported miners have joined in one faith and for one purpose. To-dar there are aoout mty men at work and 7,000 idle In the Monongahela valley. The few men in are at work in the Chamonl mine operated by the Tide Coal com pany, and they are working ont i contract, which expires this month. Such a complete suspension of mining nas not been witnessed In the Monon gahela valley before for many years. According to the miners, the sus pension in the railroad mines Is al most as complete as along the rivers. All the large mines except those of the ew York and Cleveland Gas Coal company, they claim, are idle to-day. Among the works forced to close down by the refusal of tha diggers to work. they say, are the panhandle mines of M. A. Hanna & Co., Beading Bros., Robbing company and the Pittsburg ana Chicago Gas Coal company. Ac cording to President Dolan's figures. not more than 2,000 men are at work in the district to-day. . Most of these are employed in the mines of the New York and Cleveland company, and he will have them out before the end of the week. A large number of extra coal cars were sent into the Fairmount. W. Va. district by the Baltimore & Ohio Rail road company yesterday. . The oper ators of that field nave notified th railway people that they can furnish 1,010 carloads of coal a day, and ship ments are expected to begin soon.

Annin in the State Journal says the Senate committee is seriously con sidering the' advisability of re-introducing the suirar bounty amendment which was withdrawn after Senator Thurston's speech last Saturday. Mr, Annin says: "It was felt that the withdrawal of the amendment was a mistake iu en abling Senator Allen to make a spec tacular grundstand play at the expense of his colleague. Senator Thurston also felt that he was placed in the most em barrassing position by yielding to tne nrgency of his associates when his col league stepped iu and announced that he was footloose enough to insist upou nutting the Senate upon record. The effect of the mistake, it was promptly seen, would place Senator Thurston ut serious disadvantage witn eorasna farmers, and the party at a disadvan tage with voters in the states where beet culture was possible. It was ac cordingly argued that; a.reintroduction of the amendment ana its passage oy the Senate would be the easiest way oat of the difficulty, leaving the - conference committee to dispose of the item later as it should see fit. The original mistake, of course, was in withholding the. umeunineui until such it late day, nnd the second in with drawing it at all. With its reintroduce tiou by Scuator Alien all the supposed advantatte to he gained by its with- drawal by the committee vanished and the populists were permitted to take duo credit for insisting upou recognition of a (arming industry. Senator Allen will now doubtless boast that lie forced recognition of beet sugar upon the senate alter the republi can coiniiiit ti-e iu charge of the bill had refused to allow such recognition, and his owu colleague, in a formal speech, had uequiesced Hi the decision." Whenever there is a tariff schedule be- ing considered that t ffi'cts the Interests of Nebrnska Senator Allen is always on guard to secure the s-t terms possiblu tor his constituents. Hut notwithstanding Allen pVdged the vote to pnsa the bounty if the re publican were favorable, his amend ment was defeatfd. The republican can ens had so decided and the bounty lor Nebraska tswts will go over to the is- cember terai of nongr.

Mr, Allison no feme forward with a request for an agreement for a final vote on the tariJ bill Wednesday. Mr. Petti grew interposed un inquiry as to whether white pine lumber would be left at $1 per 1,000 feet. He desired some as surance that the rate would not be dis turbed, otherwise he would have to ob ject to an agreement. Mr. Allison gave assurance that the committee would not make a change and the agreement for the vote was then reached. Go slow, brethren of the press! Don't slobber too much over Ben Baker be cause of his work in the Bartlev case. ' He did well, it is true but be only did his duty, and its about the first time he ever did that much. He has a long line of bad work behind him in the Mosher case. A little of good in the Hartley case will not wipe out all of the bad in the Mosher deal lien Baker is the man j above all others responsible for the pal try pnn'sbraent Inflicted upon .Mosher. He was prosecuting attorney for th government at the time. Had h dared prosecute Mosher with such vigor as Smyth and Baldridge have prosecuted Hartley, the wrecker of the Capital National bank, would have gone to prison for life. Let us land Baker for doing his duty to-dav but let us not for get his failure to do it in the days that are gone. By a man's works ys shall know him.

We have fought that battle and it is lost. We can uever fight it over under circum stances more favorable to ourselves. If we hope to succeed we must nbandon this demand."
