Every prominent Danish citizen in the city , with perhaps two cxcep-ions. were working for tbe interests of the republican candidates , and it was supposed that their influence would be suf- lUient to carry the bulk of the vote , but tbe estimate of their persuasive powers was sadly overestimated.

"Home. Sweet Home. " and when at last be reached the house a mighty shout went up from over a thousand throats. They called upon htm for a speech , and turning to them , his voice shaking wltb the emotion he felt , he said a few words to them. They cheered him repeatedly , and when he said that the bolt- ing democrats were given first place on the ticket in order to perpetrate a fraud , bis audience hissed and promised they ould do all in their power to stop any wroagdolag. He naid : "Ladies and Gentlemea I have BOW doae all that I can to secure success in this cam paign , and for me there is nothing left but to await the returns.

The polls opened at S o'clock , but owing to the activity of hustlers In both partie * . the line of voters In waiting was a very long one at the opening hour. There after carriages conveyed worklugmen from all sections of the city to their respective voting places rapidly : and It was frequently observed by old clttwsa. that never within thtlr recollection had the ters of Lincoln exhibited no universal a desire to vote early , if not often. la Prwlnct B of the Seventh the voting was delayed an hour l ecaui > e of the pro- test filed by the election officials against Frank G.

All day long scuads of both factions have been marching from oae polllac place to another , but the wearers of the yellow stieamers for souad money outnumbered the silvery ribbons of tbe Boy Orator by two and three to oae The story was Identical at each of tbe twenty polling places.

These estimates are now regarded cs ex cessive , as it is conceded that there is la cach nation a limit to industrial development which. without considerlnK tbe creat oeo- nomlcs In tbe use of fuel , will alto limit tbe ejcj > t nses of coal production. Mr. Gruener placet , this limit for Eng.Lud a : U&O.ODD.OOO tons , which supports a mining pcpulatlon of 1.000 030 miners and a w orking population of 5.000,000. In the United States the proJuctlon of coal has IK in increasing in much greater ratio than in Great Britain.W cannot RO bacV : lo tbe eiRhteenth century and give figures of production of cci ! . ser It that necestary In order to Indicate how enorznoua has been the Increase in its production and consumption in tbe I'nited States. At the tt.nth census , 1S80 , tbe production of coal in the United States is reported at 71,41.570 net tons ; at the eleventh census. 1EB9 , It had risen to 141.2 9,512 net tons , nearly double , and in 1E.98 , according to the report of E.

Similar increases could be shown for the other great coal-producing countries , as Bel gium , Germany. Austria , France and Russia. The world's demands for heat and pow-er are increasing marvelous- ] , while the world'e supply of coal Is a definite quantity , and It is an evident proposition that with the exhaustion of its coal , not only will the power and Influence of a nation decline , but even lib existence may be Imperiled.
