olutions arc as follows:
"Wo, your committee, respectfully
submit the following p:e:unabJo and
l'tvto]ution.s for your con.'-iderttioii:
jL "Whereas, the amhiicito oul opera
^tors have ported notices offering an
* '? t? over i\?r
;lr.wrly paid, and have*Wfctff#ilc;1 their
?willingness to adjuHt other grievances
"with tliolr own employes; and
"Whercua, they have failed to specify
tho length of time this advance would
romain in force, and have al.-o failed
to abolish the sliding scale method o?
determining wage..; wo would reeouv
mend
"That this convention accept an ad
vance of 10 per cent, providing tho op
erators will continue its payment until
April 1st., 1U01; and will abolish the
siloing scale in tho Lehigh and Schuyl
kill regions; the scale of wages in the
two last named districts' tl>' remain sta
tionary at 10 per cent, above tho pres
ent basis price; and that the compa
nies will agree to adjust other griev
ances complained or with committee?*
oi tin*ir own employes.
"Should the proposition be unaccep*
table to tho operators wo recommend
that the convention propo.se that all
questions at issue be sr.lfinitted to a
fair and impartial board oftfubitration.
"We would further lecoiVmend that
under no circumstances J'whatever
should thore be a resumption of work
ut any of tho collerios until the opera
tors signify their acceptance of this
proposition, and you are notified offi
cially that 'the strike is ended, and all
return to work in a body on the same
day." **
Judging by the unanimity of the
miners in pacing the above resolution
and the determined stand taken by tho
operators, it Ls generally believed that
a. long eon test between the strikers and
the mine operators is, not unlikely
There was groat enthusiasm in the
convention when the counter proposi
tion to the operators was carried, and
three cheers wore given for President
Mitchell. The resolutions were drafted
by a commlttea of thirteen, appointed
at the morning .session, of winch the
national president was chairman.
Mr. Mitchell, in an interview with a I
representative of the Associated Press J
on the outcome of tho convention, j
eald: /
"The action of the delegates in con- I
vention in ac4^pting an advance of 10 i
per cent. T^Tiding they are given as- j
suranefs the advance will continue in
-force until April 1st, n^xt year, de
monstrates that the miners are con
siderate of tho public interest Involved
and are disposed to be conciliatory.
"I cannot understand any good rea
son why the operators would not ac
cept the conditions named in the reso
lutions. 1, of course, hope that there
will bo a speedy termination of this
contest, and! I believe that in the fu
ture the operators will be disposed to
? treat with more consideration their
xnnploycs than they havo in the past."
The statement by the press commit*
tec as to tlie proceedings of the con
vention 3ays: "
"While the motion was pending Pres
ident Mitchell addressed the conven
tion and took occasion to deny, posi
tively. th<> statements made by some
of tho metropolitan papers charging

selling all sorts of things, particularly
tho silver shoes, which were n e l as

watches were Helling for $5. but now

are selling for two-thirds of their value
and other things accordingly.
The proprietor of a Pekin hotel has
bought, it is atated, silver worth over
a quarter of a million dollars, at a cosi
of less than $f>9,000.
Tho Sikh soldiers have done a lot of

made a clear $2,000 with a capital of
nothing except unlimited check and no

right to loot.
Auction sales take place at th*

but the prices are high, fetching some
times more than the things are usually
sold for in the stores In normal times.
MaJ. Waller has in his possession a

Gen. Chaffee has not yet deeided with

American aoldiert have not. been of

gone out daily over the American quar

Tho idea of tho map ooino? from Now
l Yt..k, and in an interesting way. Mr.
, Win. M. Duiilop an old student of Dr.
I.Ioyno* at tho Washington and l.oo
j University, by the by a civil engineer
J from Koanoke. V while located hero
superintending tho building of tho Sea
board Air 1 .ino Railway bridge over tho
('ongarcc, told Superintendent McMa
lian how, whon ho was employed some
yoais ago on tho Now York canal
works, ho had soon In (ho eftpllol at
| Albany a largo outline map of tho State
i of Now York covered \vfill dots which
| represented all tho school houses in
' that great State. So numerous are
I those dots that tho general effect is al
! ni.sfit as if one wore looking at a map
j of tho stars, llowcvor, a ( loser examl
i nation, and a comparison with a polltl
I cal or a physical mop of Iho Stair, will
show up significant facts. Tho supply
! of s.hools for tho children of tho peo
i plo has Its logical and Inevitable lola
i tion to other conditions in a Stat", Hindi
j as density of population and general
I pivsperity, which are themselves In
i large part dependent upon the physical
! features of the country. Kor instance,
a map of the schools of South Carolina
will certainly show. by absence of
schools, stretches (.*, swamps, pine
wastes, and sandhills, and will also
show, by sparsitv or h?iu'u??k of
schools, the relative number of the
white and the negro populations on
the roast and toward tUie mountains.
There is a special reiLson for wishing
at this tiino an arcurate map of the
schools of tho State. This year is thn
last of the century and the 3:$d of tho
exlstoneo of tho public school system
of .South (Uu'ollna?with the century
closes the, first generation of pnhllc
school education In this State. It Is
fitting, therefore, that tho. annual re
port of 1900 should review tho growth
find development of tho public school
system since its establishment in lHiX
and show in fullness tho results now
reached. Superintendent McMahan
proposes to uresont, for tho different
jears, comparative statistics of tho
different years, comparative statistics
of the number of pupils, oftoachers,
and of schools, the relative supply of
teachers to pupil* and of schools to
square miles, the amount of money
expended on the schools, tho average
salary paid tonehors, and tho average
length of the school term. He wishes
alfto to compare tho sdiool taxes of
South Carolina with the school taxes
of Now York and the Now England
Stnttv, showing the proportion of such
taxes to the taxable valuers in the dif
ferent States compared.
In connection with thjs historical
and comparative study, one can well
see tho value of putting on permanent
record a map of the schools of tho
State?which, never attempted hero be
fore, will summarize to tho eye tho
geographical facts of the school supply
in this State at tho time of passing
from tho old century to the now. Such
a map will be consulted In the years
to come hy students of oar educational"
department.

COl, HitYAN'S SPEECH.
<'ol Hryan began by referring t<> tho
vast audience before hint and said that
1! Ili.lUatol an Interest In the cam
paign which must be gratifying; to all
who realize I Itiimportance of the
11 ii est ions involved. lie do. la re.l that
lie was not vain enough to accept tho
enthuslu.sm manifested aa a pcraonal
tribute t?? lilm.-elf "because," he t-ald,
"the individual counts for notliiiik ox
copt that he may he the instrument
used by the lvcople to cany out their
own will, lie immediately entered upon
a defense of the Democratic cause and
said; "To say that the people gather
ed here who support our cause are tin*
enemies of honest wealth is a slimier
which could uoi be uitered without tiio
ono who uttered it knew it to b.- f:i'se,
Wo are not opposed to that wealth
which conn s as tho reward of honest
toil and is enjoyed by those who give
to yoijety something in return for that
fr hi oh society throws upon them. The
Donioeratle. party to-day is not only
not Hie. enemy of honest wealth, but
the DomoNiatlc party of to-day is tho
Inst friend of that wealth that repre
sents ability of muscle or of mind em
ployed in its accumulation." Col. Hry
an went oil to say that the party drawn
and predatory wealth, "between that
wealth which is a just compensation
for serviees rendered and that wealth
which simply measures the advantages
which Bom-e citizens has taken over i
many cins." ?. e 12315!2
many citizens."
HONESTY OF THE HfcMOCRA^lIC
I'AUTY.
He di dared that no honest. Industry
no honest occupation, no honest man
need fear the success of the Democrat
ic party. "The Democratic party." lift
said, ".showed its honesty by staling
what it believed and telling' tho people
what. It will do." He asked for a com
parison of tho Democratic platform
with the Republican platform and ex
pressed confidence that any honest man
making such comparison must he con
vinced of the sincerity of tho Demo;
cratic declaration and the hypccracy of
the Republlan platform. Taking up
the Republican declaration of princi
ples, Col.' Hryan said that party is not
prepared to-day to make a light on a
question before tho country. "And,*'
ho continued, "if you want proof let mo
rem I ml you that the Republican party
to-day, Instead of presenting any great
principlo and defending It, Is presen
ting an appeal to every class of people
supposed to be approachable in any di
rection." He then went, on to enumer
ate the various classes to which he said
the Republicans were making specious
appeals, and he included In ti?<* list the ?
farmer, tho laborer, etc,
REPUBLICAN PROSPERITY.
"It gives the laborer," ho said, "the
assurance that ho will have a .full din
ner pail, and then it assures him that
thcro will bo a large army to mA^o
him uatisfled with Ills full dinner4?pdl."
He declared that the prosperity . of
which the Republican party boasts Ts a
different thing in different localities.
"In tho East," he said, "they tell you
"how prosperous tho farmer of the West
is, and In the West you hoar of tho
high wages arfd general employment of
Hit; lai;wi injj man 111i oughoul- iho
East." In this connection Col. Hryan
related tho report of ills own prosperi
ty as a farmer and proceeded to ?how
that the report was a gross exaggera
tion. "If." ho said, "1 am a sample of
what is going on on tho farm, I have
?orae idea of what is taking place
thcro." Referring further to the Re
publican claim of prosperity, Col. Hry
an claimed ho was willing to admit tho
army contractors and tho trust mag- ,
nates might bo prc-ipcrous. "A man |
who g*t* epeeial priviliges at Lao hard
of the government can prosper undci
Republican administration," lie . said,
"but I deny that the wealth producers
of tho country are enjoying their share
of the government productions.
At this p?rfnt thoro were cries of
"Hanna!" Col. Iiryan merely respon
ded by asking his audience not to trifle
with a groat name.
THE TRUSTS.
' Taking up the subject of trusts. Col.
Bryan decided that tf.ay had grown.
under this administration more rapidly
than ever before and he asserted that
the RMubltcABA refused to meet the
Issue* they created. He declared Ihtf
the President "ipendt more time
wtrolBf you not to hurt your tool
trust than ha does telling youhow ioj

mark w.is ??evolved with cheers.
TIIK It 10M 10 IVY.
. Col. isryan outlined his remedy for
trusts, which was to put on tho free
list ovory trust-made aittclo, and to re
(piiro trust corporations to tako out a

all other States than thosa In which
