By order of the county central committee. W. A. McAllister, Ch'n. E. 11. Jenkins, Sec'y. Exmxnr.ns are GgiirinR the expense of a railroad to the Yukon basin. To make a connection with the Canadian Pacific would require 1200 to 1500 miles. It would indeed be humiliating if the United States should get into a war with Japan on account of Hawaii, and be second-beet in a naval conflict. England is enlarging her nary by the construction of four armored cruisers, said to be more rurmidabla an Centers than any cruisers yet constructed by England or any other country. An exchange says that Alaska cost us less than H a rent an acre and from 1886 to 1890 yielded $8,000,000 in sal mon, and since 1&90 over $1,000,000 in gold, besides scenery, glaciers, timber, bears and other products, including seals, etc., and the recent stories of fab ulous amounts of gold just over into the somewhere regions. Silver and gold are all right as the metallic currency of the country but current history is evidencing that re publicans are the true bimetallista. In Indiana the populists have dropped the "unlimited" idea out of their creed, and in Maryland they drop the "1C to 1." You must limit the coinage of silver, as is now done, or change the ratio, in or der to have a jnet currency. The ele ments of nature cannot be changed in quality to suit whims of wayward poli ticians. Salt is salt, gold is gold and silver is silver; your measuring them doesn't change their quality. A stable, honest currency is the ideal aimed at. If you know of anything better than gold and that which is as good as gold. tell us what it is. We happened Monday to glance at a Columbus Journal of the issue of Wed nesday, November 14, 1894, and find these head lines, over the election re turns: "Morning breaks. The rooster crows as never before. Dawn of a better day is at hand. Every northern state republican by astounding majorities. The next house republican, and Tom Reed the speaker, will be good enough. At this rate one more November will make the senate republican. Then an other, the presidency." Another No vember will see the Dingley tariff in full force instead of the Wilson bill, and the currency problem well along to a satis factory solution to all reasonable people. If, at the close of the McKinley adminis tration, the country shall be in as good condition as at the close of the Harri son administration, all ought to be sat isfied. Firebugs at St. Edward. Last Wednesday night about 10:30 a fire was discovered in the rear of Nels Hasselbalch's store. He called assist ance and it was soon extinguished. It was found that a barrel containing pa pers, shavings, etc., had been placed up against the building, and when discov ered had already began burning the barrel. Thursday, while passing in the rear of Con Egan'a coal shed P. A. Barrows dis covered where another attempt had been made to start a fire.

PROSPERITY IS HERE. "Trust in the Lord, and do good." "Open the windows to the sunlight" The life of man on the earth, and the enterprises that he undertakes may be likened to the cultivation of a piece of land. There is first the clearing it of trees or stones or rubbish; the plowing; the pulverizing of the soil; the planting of the seed in the ground; the care of the growing plant; in due time the gathering of the crop, the storage, and all for the proper use of the product. "Utility" is the proper rule, guide and object. The general welfare is made up of all the individual "welfares," so to speak. Get the individuals right, and the com munity is right And what is right for the individual? Do the best you know angels can do no more. Seek to know what is right, mainly through doing what you already know to be right. Away down under the surface, like the germ of the corn, is the living principle to be developed properly, through rain and shine, and all the vicissitudes. Now, as to industrial principles for the good of the whole country, The Journal believes that the sound germ is planted in the republican fields and that, in due time, will come a good harvest. By a protective policy which will bring a surplus into the treasury and at the same time preserve and prosper all the diversified interests of our own country; by a stable, honest enrrency with which to make exchanges; by a foreign policy strictly in line with our independence as a nation; by encourag ing and building np a merchant-marine unexcelled in all the world besides; by holding to the right in all things, des pite false lights, the selfish connivingB of designing and unscrupulous men, and the ambitions that lure to ruin. We intended to place here a number of local, state and national facts indica tive to us (as they ought to be to all) that the lielief in prosperity has shown itself in deeds, but, seeing that our assistant editors have furnished Journal readers with the enclosed supplement along that line, we defer our list till later. WAGE k PEACEFUL WAR The Striking Miners Have Broken All Records. PROFIT B7 FORMER EXPERIENCE. Listen to Advice of Leaders sad Keep Within tlt Limit of the Law More Than Five Thousand Mr liters Uold as All Dm j Session- ltuth Sides Feel There Is a Crisis at Hand. ,.PlTTBCRa, Aug. 3. The striking miutrs have broken all records, both as to, numbers attending their mass meet teg and the excellent order and law abiding behavior they have exhibited. Too much praise cannot be given to the control of the leaders who, profiting by former experience, have so forcibly in stilled into ths minds of their followers the stupidy of law breaking, that the peaceful attitude and actions of the strikers have been a source of wonder to all the prophets, who have from day to day predicted dire happenings. It is conceded by all that in tanner times, under similar circumstances, rict and bloodshed would have resulted long ago from the conditions under which the miners bare been placed during the strike. It is the hope of all well wish ers of the strikers that tho peaceful war fare will continue throughout and until the contest is settled definitely. The mass meeting of miners at the McCrea school house Monday was the greatest during the strike and probably the largest gathering of the kind ever seen in Allegheny county. Mora than 5,000 striking miners were gathered for au all day session and labor leaders har raugued them in various tongues, while bands of music served to stir up the en thusiasm to the highest pitch. Camp Wild Will) EiitliUftiaam. From early morning miners of every nationality were gathering at the school house. They came in big bands and small ones, but the one that set the camp wild with enthusiasm arrived at 10:15 in the morning from Turtle Creek. It consisted of l,t00 miners from that camp, and when they came in sight there was such cheering as had not been heard since the strike started. They came down to the camp at the bciiuui uuusn wiiu utuus P"v lus aurruig airs and banners waving in the breeze. Cheer after cheer went up from the camp and the marchers returned them with a will. When the miners of the two parties met there were some wild scenes. Meu rushed around shaking hands, shouting and even embracing each other. The crowd that had gath ered was so much larger than the men had anticipated that they were wild with joy and druuken on success. A few minutes after the arrival of the Tux tie Creek division the speakers arrived iu a carriage. They were: M. P. Carrick. president of the Painters' and Decorators' union; W. A, Carney, vice president of the Amalgamated as eociation; Mrs. Mary G. Jones, the female labor agitator of Chicago, and M. J. Counahan of the Painters' and Decorators' union. In addition to these the leaders of the mi ners were lineup to speak as the occasion de manded. There was a rumor in the camp that Sheriff Harvey A. Lowry would appear with deputies and force the meeting to disperse, but it was evidently un founded. The crowd was orderly all day. It was announced that but 29 men were at work in the Plum Creek mines, while only two or three were in the Sandy Creek mine. The policy of the miners is to form camps at these mines as well as at Oak Hill and maintain a large party on guard. President Dolan announced that he could get land from private parties on which to pitch his camps. The feeling in the camp was one of triumph. The miners claim that they are on the high road to success and the enthusiasm which was seemingly slum bering Sunday, was at fever heat Mon day. Printers Help Strikers. J. T. McCoy, a prominent member of the Pittsburg Typographical union, ex tended sympathy and financial support to the miners of the country and eaid Fo7TeW?ra the organisation had made a per capita assessment for five weeks to be paid for the benefit of the strikers. A large number of the men who at tended the meeting were nearly dead from hunger. Some of them had eaten nothing since 4 o'clock Sunday and the commissary wagon had uot yet arrived when the meeting wa over. It was not until nearly 2 o'clock that the wagon carrying provisions got to the camp, and when it arrived there was a mad rush for bread vriu.'h would pat to shame any foothill rush ever seen on the local gridiron. Alter the meeting was over and the meu had satisfied their appetites, they went back to their camp at Turtle .Creek in an orderly manner, where they tested and made preparations for todjy. Two new camps were instituted after the meet ing. The one at Plum Creek will be known as "Camp Resistance," and the one at Sandy Creek will be called "Camp Isolation." Each camp in the besieged district will be kept constantly supplied with guards. Headquarters, as heretofore, will be "Camp Detei initiation" at Tur tle Creek. Flags Were In Di-maad. One of the notably features of the procession was a waoa drawn by four horses, bearing diggers from the Suter mines. Ou each side was a banner ad vocating fiee speech and peaceable as sembly. Fbgs seem to be in demaud among the uiarcJiet-. The delegation marching on Plnm Creek were under the inipresion that they could uot march with a band unit au American flag was carried at th: front. A but tonhole fhi, the dimensions of which were but a few indies fastened to a small stick, was carried at the head of the procession when the marchers reached the Center t-chool house. The force of dejiutis was kept busy during the entire night. Every move was watched and trouble seemed to b in the air. The condition can be said to be critical. 3oth side feel that there is a crisis near at hand. The officials cf the New Yoik atd Cleveland Gas Coal eantpsuy gave out the statement last night that their forces were iucreahed in the Turtle Creek and Sandy Creek mines aud that more men were at work in the Plum Creek mine than there has been since the campaign against the company started. Opposed to Sjmpathetlc Strike. Peoria, Ills., Aug. 3. Grand Master Sargent of the Brotherhood of Locomo tive Firemen is strongly opposed to the suggested sympathetic strike. He said: "If we go out ou a sympathetic strike we cut off our own resources and the opportunity of contributing and may lose our jobs besides. As it is now, we can best show our sympathy by keep ing at work onr&elves aud contributing liberally to help support the miners in their heroic struggle." Affected by Miuers' Strike. Homestead, Pa.. Aug. 3. The Mo nongahela iron works at Six Mile Ferry, near here, has been compelled to close owing to the scarcity of coal due to the miners' strike. The plant employs 300 men and will probably be closed until the close of the strike. HOT WINDS WITHER THE CORN, This Tear's Kansas Crop Will Xot Ue One lialfof Last Vexr's. Topeka, Aug. 3. Specials to The Capital from every corn producing county in the tate thow that the year's Kansas crop will not be over 50 per cent of last year's. Hot winds have withered the product in the southern half of the state and few fields will average over 15 bushels to the acre. In the southern tier of counties, except far east, there will be t.o corn, la tho northern belt, north of the Kansas river, though needing rain, corn has not shown the least sign of drouth aud will make a full crop if relief comes within a week. No hot wiuds have blown there. The reports show that Monday was the coolest for a week and Sunday the hottest. Snuday the thermometer stood at from 108 to 111 in the south central part of the state and there is no crop thpxe. llM-yi-IUU Make Slow Tine. Trenton. N. J..

Mr. Newton Haight, aged 59, traveling passenger agent for the Union Pacific and one at the widest known railroad men in the country, died here today. He had been with the Unwn Pacific ever since 186$, and came here iu 1574 as traveling pas senger agent. He saw service in a Michigan regiment during the civil war and acted as provost marshal of Charlotte, N. C, during the last days of that coptest. The remains will be taken to Jackson, Mich.

Cold liBlllon at San Fraacfoeo to Be Worked Off Soon Uncle Sam Fays am Indemnity Digest of Pension Decisions. Washington, Aug. 3. The monthly statement issued by the director of the mint shows that during July, 1897, the coinage executed at the United States mints amounted to $670,850. as follows: Gold, $377,030; silver, $i0,000; minor coins, 23.8S0. No standard silver dol lars were coined. It is stated, howevor, that there is no significance in this. All of the mints were closed from 15 to 20 days duriug July for repairs on machinery and the annual overhauliug and in consequence the coiuage was un usually light. In explanation of t'.- fact that no standard dollars were coiued it was said that the supply on hind is sufficient for all needs and further that the stock of minor coins has run veiy low. Iu order to meet the present and prospect ive demands of trade the mints were oc cupied in coining subsidary silver aud probably would so continue duriug the month of August. In addition thsre ha accumulated a large stock of undercurrent subsidiary silver which mi ba reuainad as promptly as possible. During the month of August the large accumulation of gold bullion at San Francisco, which now ar.iouuts to about $4,500,000, will be worked off as rapidly as the capacity of the mint will permit. The coinage of standard si'ver dollars probably will be resumed about Sept. 1. Uncle Vim I'.itsuii Indemnity. Washington, Ans. il.

Fitrtiisnt t'oine Together, Tecumsi:ii, Xeb., Aug, 3. The mem. bers of both factions of St. Andrew's" Catholic church here came together for worship under one roof Sunday for the first time in many months. Rev.

There were no personal griev ances between the two factious. Pet'iiH.-ir Fatality to Harringtons. Blttk, Maut, Aug. 8. A peculiar fatality attends miners by the name of Harrington. Peter Harrtugiou was im stantly killed yesterday by a fall of eaith in the Sr. Lawrence mine. Today Jesse Harrington, while helping to re pair the damage done by the fire at the Boston and Montana ore bins fell from a scaffold, striking op his head and be ing instantly killed. This makes four H-riugtons killed in mining accidenti within a short time. Danville Saloons Gloved. Danville, Ills., Aug. V. Every one of the 4 saloons in Danville are closed and the thirsty citizens mnst go to Ger niautowii or the roadhonses for a drink. The Liquor Dealers' association peti tioned the city couucil Thursday night to lower the license from $800 to 000, and threatened to close the places on re;, fusel. The council refused and this moruiug every galoop was found to be closed VIEWS OF SALISBURY. Says Sultan Must Recognize Decision of the Fovers. INCURSIONS SHOULD BE STOPPED- Oreek Communist Should Xot Ke Placed Under Turkish Kqle Qt a Doty of the Nations to Provide For Payment of Hel lenic Bonds Great Britain Takes Pos session of Solomon Group. London, Aug. 8. The Marquis of Salisbury, replying in the house of lords to the Liberal leader, the Earl of Kimberly, who questioned the govern ment as to the state of peace negotia tions between Turkey and Greece, out lined the status of the Constantinople exchanges of vicws occasionally referr ing to them in sarcastic tones. The premier said it was no wonder that the patience of any people were sorely tried by the dejay. The complexity aud multiplicity of the negotiations, he added, might, however, account for their length. Continuing, Lord Salis bury explained that the peace the pow ers were trying to arrange was no or dinary agreement. The territory con quered by the Turkish army was one assigned to Greece by international agreement, and therefore the powers' -Foice in regard to its disposal was rfTjOfghied by theealtan. The lattrr was right in demanding se curity against incursions such as those which brought about the present war aud for that reason rectification of the frontier on a strategic basis was a rea sonable demand. Jz was also reasonable to hold that the Greek communities should not be placed under Turkish rule. The premier further asserted that her majesty's ministers believed those ques tions had been settled and that Turkey had accepted the frontier line traced by the military attaches of the embassies ox tne powers, though the premier j shared Lord Kimberly's doubts. Speaking of the indemnity to be paid j to Turkey by Greece, the premier said: "There comes the mysterious and diffi- j cult question of tho German bondhold ers. We do not think that any mter- national duty lies on Europe to provide for their payment, though I admit they have been long unpaid. HOIST THE UNION JACK. Great Britain Has Takea Possession at the Solomon Group. Vanxouver. Aug. 3. The steamer Miowera brought details of the recent annexation of the Solomon group. The work of annexation was done by her British majesty's ship Wallaroo. The first island made a colony was Bellona, which the Wallaroo reached on July 16. The union jack was hoisted with the usual ceremonies. The natives were very s'-y at first, and were much fright ened ly the salute, bu: they became re assured on the ship leaving, and re moved the notice of the board of annex ation and dr.-; up the bottle containing the prcclatuu tion. The entente cordials was first established by the ship rescu ing a native blown out to sea iu a canoe. Ruunell island was also placed under British protection the same day. The Wallaroo called at Mara sound, and proceeded to the Stewart islands, annex ing them. They were much pleased at becoming British subjects. All the isl ands aie rich in cocoauuts. aud it is said copper ore is also abuudaut on them. Many Warhipa Iu Honolulu Harbor. Vancouver, Aug. 3. The steamer Miowera bring? the following Hawaiian advices: Honolulu harbor is dotted with British, Japanese aud United States war vessels, and more British and Japanese vessels are expected daily. In semiofficial quarters everything is re ported quiet, but the impression among citizens is that the condition is very threatening, and that au outbreak may occur at auy time, when international interference from ships in the harbor would occasion complications. The stream uf A-i ttic laborers is still pour ing in, each shipload causing a fresh outbreik or feeling among the different factiou- on tho islands. Au immediate cause of alarm is the fact that the Urn ted States blue jackets are bitterly hostile to the Hawaiian po lice, who exercise almost military rule. British aud Japanese sailors are uot mo lested, but Americau blue jackets are constantly arrested without cause, and annoyed iu every way. A report is curt cut that advices had been received from England that the United States would not be al'owed to annex Hawaii aud that Great Britain wants the islands itself. Opening ofCowm Regatta. Cowes, Aug. 3. The Cowes regatta week opiued today with racing under the auspices of the Royal London Yacht club.

Fulton of Arkansas. "An old farmer friend of mine down in Arkansas called my attention to this a short time ago, and I have since been closely observing the habits of ducks, geesb'and swans jn this regard to see if there was any variation from the rule laid down by my friend. I have thus far failed to find the least exception. "Two weeks ago I watched a flock of tame geese nearly all day to see if one of fhein would not dip his beak down in the water while padcjliug along its surface and take a drink. One shrewd old gander twice startled me by swim ming ashore and satisfying his thirst, after reaching terra firma, by guzzling copiously and with manifest relish from the water along the bank and then swimming out to deep water again. Even the goslings went through the same performance when they grew thirsty. I would say the geese did this because they had no better sense, but when I saw ducks and swans go through the same performance I cannot bring a sweeping acousation of idiocy against the already too much maligned goose Without including in the indictment all Other domesticated aquatic fowls. Prob ably the foolish and useless habit is due to the fact that when young these ani mals are taught to drink from troughs and pans, and they haven't intelligence enough to shake it off when they get grown- I cannot account for it in any Other wy."---St. Louis Republie, A Baa Aaaunaptioa.

To all Sufferers: I write this for the benefit similar sufferers may derive from it, unsolicited and out of pure sympathy to those poor mortals who may be afflicted with that dread disease cancer. In September of 1887 the disease known by the medical fraternity as Inpuserethemustosus first made its ap pearance on my face and soon spread across the nose and over a greater part of the face, causing unsightly sores. After nearly ten years of constant doc toring with many noted physicians and deriving temporary benefit at times, my system at last reached a stage of com plete collapse, and I was flat ou my back with no ray of hope. At this stage I was recommended to try Dr. Lieber of Omaha; after an examination he said he could cure me. As a drowning person grasping at a straw I entered his private hospital, and in a short space of time I was able to leave the hospital a well woman. My face is now clear and shows but little sign of the dread disease. While in the hospital there were also removed from my body seven cancers, and that without the use of the knife. The medical fraternity scoff at the idea of cancers being removed without the knife. Bnt I am a living proof that it can be and ia done by Dr. Lieber. To all those poor mortals who have given up the battle against this dreadtlisease, I say don't despair, but consult with the doctor. I make this statement out of pure sympathy for similar sufferers, and will be glad to see or answer any in quiries in regard to my oase. MRS. F. E.
