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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Never Drink oa the Water.
'-Jt is a curious fact, easily verified,
that domesticated aquatic fowls do not
drink while they are swimming," re.
marked M. A. 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,

Seward Reporter: The first wheat
threshed in the neighborhood of Seward
was Joe Sampson's, which yielded 31 bu

most 1,100 buehels. Mr. Sampson sold
the wheat for 48 cents a bushel, which
made ahandsome return. Had he waited

52 cents a bushel.

Albion News: Eighteen fish nets
were captured by Fish Commissioner
O'Brien last week on the Beaver below
St. Edward and Genoa. Complaint was
made by parties at St. Edward. This is
probably the reason that there has been

five or six years. They have been caught
in nets before they could reach this
place.
Blair Pilot: During the past three
months over $70,000 in checks have

gives one a email idea of the money
handled by our people. It is but little
wonder that tho people in general are
beginning to feel the good influence of
returning prosperity.

-FOR-
SuMg Humanity !
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.
