He Hiiys thnt "tho purpoHO of tho law wan to tax tho carrier and not tho shipper: and thesu provision undoubtedly tlx upon tho express com panion and other carriers tho duty of providing, uMxinK and cancelling the Btamp, and their failure to do bo sub jects them to tho penalty provided by law. It is sugKCHttid that tomo of these carriors are refusing to receive goods for shipment until the shipper pays tho tax. While it is not my province to advise as to tho recourse which the shipper may have In instances of this kind, yot I am sure that tho laws aro ample to requiro public carriers and express companies to receive goods ten dered for bhipmunt or suffer damuges for such refusal." "In all questions of manners a young man should always remember that while politeness Is a good trait to ue qulro, courtesy Is Infinitely better," writes Edward Uok on "What Makes a Gentleman" In the July IauUc' Jfomc Journal. "Politeness is manners, but courtesy is heart. Mingling In good society can give us that veneer which the world calls a polish of manners, and true politeness Is not to be made little of nor scoffed at. Politeness Is a flno Art, but it is un art pure and simple, even at its best. Infinitely hotter is the cul tivation of that courtesy of refinement which enters into tho feelings of others and holds them sacred. What we want our young: won to have is courtesy of manner not regulated by social code or professional censor. It is idle to say that courtesy is a relic of old-fashioned days and is no longer looked on. It is as much tho current coin of good society as It ever was. Mora than any other element or grace in our lives, It is in stantly felt and recognized, and has an unfailing influence. It calls for respect as nothing else does. Courtesy of man ner and courtesy of speech aro tho gifts a young man should cultivate." What is tho most important and most valuable of the products of the mines of this or of any country? Is it gold? By no means. It is coal. Coal is potential energy. It supplies the essential force of Industry and commerce as well us of naval warfare, and no other one thing measures a nation's wealth producing capacity so well as its production of coal. This is one' of the foundations of the wealth and power of Great Britain, which has long been the foremost coal producing country In the world. The second Is the United States, and last year our coal production came so close V that of Great Britain that it is reasonably sure soon to surpass it. The latter has averaged, for several years, about 218,000,000 tons. The coal pro duction of the Unltod States In 1807 was over 200,000,000 tons. This was an Increase of about. 12, 000,000 over 18IW, though the gain in value was but 10,250,000, the average value of bituminous coal at the mines being only 81 cents a ton, When we consider the Important part that coal has already been shown to play In naval warfare, and compare the 200,000,000 tons produoed In the United States with Spain's annual produotof leu than 4,000,000 tons, we have an in dex of relative strength more significant than population or area. The coal production of the United States Is equal to that of Germany, Austria-Hungary, France and Russia all together, and it would be discredit to us If we failed to p- ve go" 3 ue of such advantage. It..-alEl.!a.f WILL MAKE DEMAND TO-DAY. At the Miners' Convention Held In Al toons a New Scale was Formulated. Tho delegates from tho bituminous coal mines from district No. 2, met In Altoonaon Thursday. July llth, and after a few hours work, formulated a scale of prices to tako effect July 80th. The demand will bo made to-day. Though tho delegates numbered but thirty-six in nil. they represented 32,000 miners in tho district, each delegate HMnking for dK) or 1.000 men. Among the delegates were five Huns, who rep resented o,8oo non-English shaking millet's. Their presence had an enliv ening lullucnco on tho convention, since It was accepted as an Indication thnt the foreign miners aro being edu cated In American methods, anil mean to stand by their English-speaking fel low workmen In tho coming struggle. Tho readiness of the foreign miners to accept any wages lins been a serious drawback to tho cause of organl.od labor In past years. ' Tho credit for tho evangeii.atiou of tho I 'iilcs and Huns belongs to tho ollleors and executive committee- of dis trict No. 2. It has been dillleult and tiresome work, but constant and ju dicious methods have brought an ap preciable result. Tho Huns and Poles have been addressed from time to time on labor topics in their own tongues. Tho theory of organization has leon hammered Into them by labor periodi cals printed in their own languages. Finally, they were organized by follow countrymen, and they now profess to stand ready to engage in the struggle for living wages. CONVENTION nl'KNH. Tho convention was called to order at 2 1'. M. by President George Hurris, of Hcynoldsvlllo, and Secretary James Klldufl, of Giillitzln. Delegates exclu sively were admitted to tho convention hull.

Mr. Na plcr being a memlxjr of the cxccutlvo board, his elevation to the vice presi dency of the district left a vacancy on the board which was filled by tho elec tion of G. W. Westhoven, of Elk coun ty. After a final discussion of the sit uation, the committee on scale present ed the following which was udopted with acclamation. THE SCALE ADOPTED.
