Our manufacturing Interests would dwindle Into Insignificance but for our mines. 1 Manufacture Is equally dependent upon .agriculture for cotton, flax, wool and other products of the field end herd. Our com mercial, Industrial and financial supremacy Is, therefore, not dependent-upon any one fact, or Interest, or condition, but upon Jl combined. We produoe practically 0,000.000 tons of Iron ore as much as any other two coun tries and one-third of the world's output. We produce 40 per cent of the world's output of Iron and steel. During the first half of 1903 we produced Dearly 10,000,000 tons of pig Iron. - We ' produce more coal than Great Britain; more than twice as much as Ger many and nearly double that of all coun Nes except Oreat UrltRln and Germany. We grow three-fourths of the world's cotton fibre and our ability to produce this staple Is far above the present product. A people's prosperity Is not measured br lis capacity to produce more than by Its rapacity to consume, and this capacity to consume Is In turn dependent upon the earning capacity of the Individual, and the earning capacity of the. Individual is again dependent upon native end acquired ability. Ho. If America be great. It is be- . cause God In His wisdom stored the moun tains with the richest minerals, overlaid .the valleys with a most fertile soil and then gave it to the people competent, In some slight degree at least, to Improve their opportunities.

In accomplishing this sixteen miles it was necessary for the secretory to travel fifty, miles by railroad and eighteen miles by Wagon on the round trip. Accord ingly the arrangements were intended to have teams meet the train at a place called Iron Creek' Landing on the Spearflsh branch of the Burlington, twenty-five titles from Deadwood. to lake the party to Tinton at the top of the mountain. The end of the railroad journey was 'reached soon after I o'clock, but no teams 'were in sight.

The secretary seemed to enjoy the walk Immensely and was much delighted with the grand scenery of Spearflsh canon and the circuitous climbing of th railroad on which ho rode as well aa the beautiful sky of early morning. Only a short time was spent In Inspecting tin deposits, the return being mado in wagons to the, rail road. Having heard Mr. Shaw express a desire to have a ride on the engine pilot. the division superintendent of the railroad fastened a cushion upon the pilot and In vited him to make the ride to Deadwood In that manner, which he did with' evident pleasure. Frequently he shouted In his companion's sar, "Isn't this great." In alluding to his trip to Tinton before the mining congress In the afternoon Mr. Shaw said that before coming here he had meant to ask the delegates to hunt for tin, adding that he had not dreamed that there - " " . ... . . avnraas nitniarnlnar baa n - u 1 1 at Tin inn ; ' t other than, to hope that some place In our - -- .T .--- w u""r """ "tv""-' ' """ meridal quantities, which, he said, was the oojy, neceaaary niinera, . which we lacked, Tlia secreury left Deadwood at I o'clock this evening on bis rsturn east. . ,, . ... , .

UMPIRE WRIGHT'S FINDINGS Mine Operaters Keen Give No Reason for Discharge of Men. SUSTAINS CONTENTION OF EMPLOYERS Seme Cases Before Hoard of Concilia tloa Brought by rartlrs Not ( Affected by Award of Comntlssloa. SCRAN TON, Pa., Sept. 8.-Carroll D. Wright, the umpire to whom was referred the five dlsputea between-the operatora and miners'- representatives on the board of conciliation appointed under the provision of the Anthracite strike commission, filed his findings tenlght with T. D. Nicholls, secretary of the board. In dealing with the question of the employers' rights to discharge men for any cause than that of connection with a labor union Umpire Wright agrees with the contention of the operatora' representatives and declares that the right of an employer to discharge wlth put giving the cause of the discharge Is sustained by the award of the eommiseion. He aaya that the Lehigh Coal and Naviga tion company and Coxa Brothers and com pany should take back old men Instead of putting on new men In all cases where the old men are competent and have not been convicted or not awaiting trial for crimes committed during the strike. The umpire's report takes up twenty-five pages of type written matter. Both sides Free to Change. Leading up to the final award the umpire aays: Taklnc the rullnvs of the court, the asser tion of the anthracite strike commission. tne Clauses in the uareement made with tne United Mine workers of America, and tne admissions of the different members of the board of conciliation, whether on the one ide or the ether, there can be no doubt that a man has the right to quit the service or nis employer whenever he sees nt, witn or without giving any cause, provided he gives proper notice, and that the employer nas a perrect right to employ and alschage men In necordstnee with the conditions of his Industry; that he Is not obliged to give any cause for discharge, but that he would. as In the reverse case, give proper notice. This right to discharge must, therefore, be sustained. Any other view of the case would result in compelling men to work for an emcover when thev did not wish to and thus enslave them, when on the other hand It would compel employers to employ men whether the men were Incompetent or not and would stagnate business and work to the injury of all other employer. gome Not 'Parties to Award. It is therefore decided that contractors driving rock tunnels, sinking shafts and otner similar worK, net oelng parties to the 'submission nor having agreed to abide ty tne awards or the anthracite coal strike commission are not parties under the award and, have no standing before the board of conciliation, and that their employes are not among those employes affected by the award of -tho anthracite coal strike com mission. The board has now disposed of about thirty ' disputes. Two more questions on which It deadlocked will be submitted to Umpire Wright. They deal with the nine- hour day In the Reading mines and the proper basis on which to compute the In crease In wages awarded by the commis sion, the companies In the Lehigh and Schuylkill region contending that It Should be on the net earnings, while the men con tend It should bs on the gross earnings.

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 8.-At today's session of the National Association of Postofflce Clerks the report of Secretary Loonier waa submitted.

Coffee drinking affects the heart and many life Insurance companies now recog nise "Coffee Heart" as a well denned dis ease and refuse Insurance to those suffer ing from this trouble. ' Leaving oft coffee and drinking Postum Food Coffee regularly In Its place quickly remedies this and puts the heart normal, healthy and steady again. "I waa examined for membership In the Woodmen of the World' about a year ago and the examining physician told roe that I had 'Coffee Heart, due to coffee drink ing, and told me that I would havo to stop or he could not answer for results. He said I would wo doubt find It difficult to quit the use. of coffee, unless I drank well boiled Postum Food Coffee In Its place, and recommended Poatum to me, which he aald would not only aid me to giro up the coffee habit, but would greatly help my health.

"Hundreds Of people have I heard re mark, 'Oh, there's no harm In coffee.'

The official report's further show that Beyroot Is one of the places which are now centers of great animation. Smyrna, which "hitherto haa been com paratively quiet. Is on the eve of outbreak. Great excitement ' prevails there. The au thorities are In constant fear of an out break, but fortunately they have been able thus far ta prevent an encounter between the Christians and Mussulmans. 1 Tho Salonlca advices are also again very disquieting. It Is expected that a general revolt throughout the provinces of Salonlca will occur next week. It Is tha understand ing among the foreign officials at Salonlca that a general Insurrection will shortly be announced by the Macedonian committee. In View of this expectation rigid police measures have been taken by tha vail, who Is showing much energy. Reports from Monastir say the Insurrection In that dis trict haa been practically crushed by the extreme measures taken by tha Turkish troops. The officials hero attach significance to the report showing that a number of Serbes have crossed the border and Joined the Macedonian revolutionists. Reports from . various points throughout Bulgaria show that there Is a atrong feeling against Prince Ferdinand, owing to the fact that he left the country during the crisis. It Is not expected, however, that the agi tators will succeed In carrying out their plots against his life. . . Thirty Christiana Killed. BERLIN, Sept., 8.

Ths twenty-ninth an nual convention Of the National Wholesale Druggists' association was opened In this city today and for the first time In almost a decade the annual meeting of the Pro prietary association was opened simultane ously. Both meetings were held at the Hotel Somerset, with several hundreds of delegates from all- parts of the country In attendance. The cutting of list prices on proprietary articles will be discussed by both organisations, and was briefly referred to In several reports at today's session, In each case being spoken of as a trade evil which must be checked. From the report of the treasurer of the Proprietary associa tion It developed that the receipts had been Increased by several thousand dollars, with this end In view. The National Wholesale Druggists' as sociation was called to order by President W. A. Hover of Denver, who delivered hla annual addreas, which was followed by the reports of Secretary Joseph E. Toms of Indianapolis and ..Treasurer Samuel E. Strong of Cleveland. Chairman M. N.

POPULISTS TARE DEMOCRATS Another Judioial Ticket is Forma'lj Named by a "Mans Meeting.'.' SQUABBLE OYER CANDIDATES IS LIVELY One, Faction Wants On Thing-, aad On Wants Another, and the Combination ia Finally Left for Yelser to Fill. CHARLES T. DICKINSON Demoorat A. N. FERGUSON Democrat K. C. PAGE Demoorat Ot'Y K. C. READ Democrat GEORGE W. DOANE Democrat JOHN O. TEI3ER . Populist Elmer E. Thomas, chairman of the pop ulist Judiciary committee, called the "mass meeting." called by him as such chairman, to order shortly after 8 o'clock last night In the small ball on the second floor of the Washington hall building. Including Mr. Thomas, exactly thirteen men were present at the time, but about ten more came In later, and a total voting strength of eight een was developed during the meeting. J. J. Points waa elected temporary chair man and T. G. Kellogg temporary secre tary. It being a "mass meeting" It was de clared that every one present would be con sidered a delegate and the temporary offi cers were thereupon made the permanent Officers. John O. Yelser moved that a committee of three ba appointed to draft a aet of res olutions to be submitted to the oommlttee, the committee to be named later, for ap proval. But Judge Martin Langdon thought that nominations came first and the matter of resolutions was later overlooked or en tirely forgotten, the meeting adjourning without adopting any or appointing a com mittee. Cnase of the Dispute. Mr. Yelser said that as there could be no dispute regarding nominating Judges Dick inson and Read, and A. N. - Ferguson and E. C. Page, that he moved their nomination be made unanimous, the other three nomi nations to be made later. But there was a dispute, and one that lasted during the entire meeting, between Judge Langdon and P. L. Forgan on the one aide and the populist machine E. E. Thomas, George A. Magney, John O. Yelser, Laurie J. ijuinby, assisted at times by S. Arlon Lewis, F. Dcs Lanler-IIorton and tsl:aj Robbing on the other side. A. determined fight by Judge Langdon and Mr; Forgan compelled the machine to tem porarily drop Judge Read, and Judge Dick inson, E. C. Page and A. N. Ferguson were nominated unanimously. But the machine In turn turned down Judge Langdon's nom ination of Lee 8. Estelle, Arthur C. Wake ley and A. C. Troup, and George A. Mag ney, also nominated by him, declined to be a candidate. John O. Yelser made an Impassioned pica for Judge Read and an equally Impassioned denunciation of Judge Estelle, to which Judge Langdon replied that he knew Judge Estelle had turned down Mr. Yelser In hU organized labor litigation, but nevertheless Judge Estelle was correct In his opinion and waa far the superior of Judge Read In ability. E. F. Morearty came in late and wanted to know whether ha was at a popu list convention or at a mass meeting. Be ing assured he was at a mass meeting of cltlsens he attempted to make a speech and particularly to defend Judge Estelle from the attack on him by John O. Yelser. But the warring popullstlc factions Joined forces and as Mr. Morearty would not pledge himself to support the nominees of the meeting he was ruled out of order and requested to sit down. "'' ' Reid Finally Chosen. On a division Judge Read wa nominated by fifteen votes to two votes Judge Lang don and P. L. Fovgau for Arthur . C. Wakeley. Mr. Magney raid ha understood G. W. Doane vouid rucept a nomination by the meeting and Judge Doane was Im mediately nominated unanimously. Mr. Thomas Insisted that the populists should have at leust one candldato on the ticket and urged Mr. Magney to recon sider bla determination not to be a can didate. But Mr. Magney again declined with thanks and Mr. Thomas, In a speech telling how strong he would be with or ganised labor, moved that John O. Yelser be nominated. " ' On two conditions, Mr. Yelser said, ne would be glad to accept the nomination. If the meeting refused to nominate Lee S. Estelle, whom Judge Langdon wu still advocating at times, and left the selection of the seventh candidate to the Judiciary committee to be appointed, he would tic oept the nomination. By all except Judge Langdon and P. L. Forgan, the conditions were accepted, and John O. Yelser's name waa added to the list. I . . 8. Arlon Lewis wanted the only faction still unrepresented given a place on the ticket. There were only three or four ill ver republicans left, he said, and Harry E. Burn am now registers as a democrat, but he wanted him put -on the ticket to represent the silver republicans. But the big four said "No" and 8. Arlon Lewis sat down. The big four said "No" again, and much more emphatically, when Judge Langdon and Mr.' Forgan placed A. C. Troup In nomination, urging that if a non partisan ticket was to be nominated at least, one candidate should be taken from the republican ticket, and that Mr. Troup was worthy In every way of the support of populists. To Complete the Ticket. Mr. Thomas declared that If left to tha committee Judge Fawcett, Judge Hopewell, Judge Lake, Judge Howe and Judge Wakeley and others belonging to the same clase, would be seen and whichever one of them would accept would be nominated. Then John O. Yelser, as being the par ticular nominee of the meeting, was given authority to select a committee of seven, four from Douglas county and one each from Washington, Burt and Barpy coun ties; the committee was given authority to fill the ono vacancy, and any other va cancies, on the ticket, and after taking up collection to pay the 82.50 rent of tha room the meeting adjourned.
