CHAIRMAN CREASY. What Some ol the State Papers Say. The Democracy of Pennsylvania will heartily indorse the appoint ment of Hon. William T. Creasy to be chairman of the State committee. Mr. Creasy's Democracy and his fighting powers are known far be yond the limits of the Keystone State. Scranton Times. In selecting William T. Creasy as State chairman the Democratic State committee has proven its Democracy. Mr. Creasy is a faithful, ardent, en ergetic Democrat, well known and trusted iu every part of the State. Though apparently in a hopeless minority, the Democratic party of Pennsylvania is Dy no means with out influence, and iu the future as in the past it will win victories if it be true to its principles, harmonious in its action and strong iu its leader ship. York Gazette . At a meeting of the Democratic State committee at Harrisburg Hon. William T. Creasy was unanimously chosen for the position of chairman. A better selection could not have been made. Mr. Creasy is an able man, and his record shows that he is not only capable, but that he is also honest and reliable. As a member of the Legislature from Co lumbia county he has won a State reputation. We wish success to "Farmer" Creasy in the discharge of chairmanship duties. Altoona Times. William T. Creasy has been chosen chairman of the Democratic State committee, a selection, we be lieve, that will give satisfaction. He is well known and has tne confi dence of the rank and file. Now let the committee address itself to the duty of thoroughly organizing the party and making it an homogeneous political factor. Doylestown Demo era. Representative William T. Creasy of Columbia :ounty, is the choice of the Democratic central committee for State chairman. Mr. Creasy is a man of integrity, and his selection is regarded with satisfaction by the lJemocratic representatives now at the State Capital. Scranton Truth, It Would be Good for Bloomsborg. In no other country in the world is the filthy and intolerable practice of expectoration in public places so prevalent as in America. We have not bettered our manners in this respect since Charles Dickens in his visit to the States held us up to pub lic scorn. In his 'American Notes" he says that "this filthy custom is everywhere recognized. The thing is an exaggeration of nastiness, which nastiness, cannot be outdone." Dickens did not stop off at Altoonaj but if some successor of the great novelist were to visit our town he would doubtless write of it what Dickens wrote in his day of the na tion's capital: "The stranger will find it this vulgar habit ot expectoration in its full bloom and glory, luxuriant in all its alarming recklessness.'1 It would be hard to beat Altoona in the "luxuriance" of this vile prac tice. In public places, in the streets at the entrance of churches the vile ness is eveywhere in evidence. Can't something be done by the board of health to put a stop to this habit, which is not only filthy but positively dangerous to health? Or cannot councils do something? Why not prepare a city ordinance and enforce it as is being done elsewhere against those "expectorating nuisances?" The health commissioner of New York has recently ma le the following statement which ought to arouse our people to the danger that beset us through spitting in public places. "Most of the diseases ot the res piratory tract, including diphtheria, measles, scarlet fever, pneumonia, tuberculosis, influenza, and probably all of the acute forms of bronchitis, are the result of the action of germs which are present in the secretions of that tract, and through spitting in public places the germs producing the diseases are widely disseminated, being constantly carried into houses on the soles of shoes and through the trailing skirts of women. "As showing the great importance of this in relation to only one disease, Dr. Crosbv says, "it may be men tioned that in the borough of Manhat tan last year there were over 9,000 cases of tuberculosis reported, and it is conservatively estimated that at least 20,000 cases of this disease exist in the borough of Manhattan. The vast majority of these latter, in the infectious stage, are moving freely around the streets of the city expector ating on the sidewalks, in public con veyances and wherever it may be con venient. It is not necessary to em phasize the danger which arises in this way through the dissemination of the tubercle bacilli, which are the cause of the disease. It has been estimated that one person in the active stage of the disease may spit not less than S,ooo,ooo of these germs in the course of twenty-four hours. "Through the efforts of the depart ment of health the death rate from tuberculosis during the last fifteen or twenty years has been decreased more than one-third, and it is the desire of the department to disseminate information in regard to this disease more widely among the people, in order that more intelligent and effic ient measures mav be taken for its prevention, and the prohibiting of spitting is one of these." Let there be an ordinance, pre pared and passed by the city councils to protect us against the "expectorat ing fiends of Altoona. Decency and regard for the public health de mand it. Altoona Tribune.

Copper companies have been an active feature of late in the big bull speculative movement that has held in 1 the stock market. Deals pending j and deals completed in the leading copper properties have served to at- . tract more than ordinary interest to their value as investments. The opin ion is frequently heard, however, that the shares of the companies that have been so prominently dealt in are too high, or if not too high, shares of other good producing properties are held at too low a valuation. The latter is more likely. Much talk is heard of the Greene Consolidated Copper Company, which is offering treasury stock at $40 per share. If Amalnamated is worth 125, n the neighborhood of which it is now selling, judges of copper stock values ay that Greene Consolidated is worth much over the price at which this lot of treasury stock is offered. The present net profits of the company are more than $200,000 per month, and with the rapid development going on, the completion of the big Bessemer refining plant now in process of con- miction and which will have a cap acity of 6,000,000 pounds of copper er month, this monthly profit will be largely increase.!. It is for the pur pose of providing for the payment of the refining plant that the treasury stock is offered. There are but 10,000, or probably less than that number of hares now remaining. The Greene Cousolidated Copper Company was organized under the laws of West Virginia, Sept. 18, 1899, and the mines are at La Cananea, I Sonora, Mexico. The property con sists of about 8,000 acres, on which are 44 mines, 17 of which are being j developed, and 6 of which are in ac- j ive operation and heavy producers. There has been more than $2,250, 1 000 expended on the property, for j the management, confidet in the knowledge that they have a very val-: uable and long lived property, have not been lax in pushing development work in all directions and installing the most improved machidery, to the ultimate end that they will be enabled to get the best possible results from both mining and smelting operations Beyond All Expectations.

This yielded net earnings for that period of $81,253,23, as the cost of smelting was but $2.09 per ton. This cost, low as it is, will be largely reduced with the new plant in operation, besides which the com pany can handle considerable custom work, and there is plenty to be had in that section. Much added value is given to the property by the construction of a nar row gauge railroad which is being built around among the mines and to the smelter and is nearly completed. There is also a standard guage railroad under way from the smelter to Naco, the nearest railroad terminus, a distance f37 miles, which is bonded for $500,000 for construction work, antl it is expected that it will earn largely in excess of the interest on the bonds, as it will provide the most practical outlet from the rich districts ot the Cananea Mountain to the railroads. The American Bridge Co. and the Union Iron Works of San Francisco are building tne new smelters ana smelter extensions and converter plants, and the Pennsylvania Steel Company is supplying the rails tor the road. The locomotives are being con structed bv H. K. Porter & Co., of Pittsburg. When these improvements are all completed the company will be in excellent physical shape. In fact the monev realized from the sale of stock is being applied to make that stock immediately more valuable.since it enhances the value of property. The tieasurer of the company, Mr. Philip Berolzheimer, is perhaps the best known of the New Yorkers who are identified with the official man agement of its affaiis, although there are many prominent New lork finan ciers among the stockholders. Mr, Berolzheimer is also treasurer of the Eagle Pencil Company. The offices of the Greene Consolidated Copper Company are at 377 and 379 Broad way, and they claim most positively that they are not ldentinea in any way with any other mining or indus trial enterprise. Net earnings, as now operating, are figured to be fully 30 per cent, on the entire capital stock of the company.
