The directors of the mining company met Tuesday morning, and after a brief meeting decided to restore the wages existing and in force prior to June 1 of the present year, when the 70-C3iit schedule went into effect.

Notices to this effect were posted in the afternoon about the two mining plants, and it is expected that both shafts will be running to their fullest capacity in a few days. The official notice reads as follows enough to keep out of the many quarrels in which the members of the old board were constantly engaged, and there has not been a whisper of misconduct in any way during his term. The Board of Charities will lose a capable and efficient member by Mr. Allen's resignation. A special sent out from Washington says that President Cleveland is busily engaged in writing his forthcoming message.

It is asserted upon the best of authority that its principal feature will be the recommendation that the $346,000,000 of greenbacks which have formed a large part of our currency since the war, be retired. It is well known that the President has long had this step in view, but he has never had a Congress behind him so utterly subservient to the interests of the gold gamblers as the one shortly to assemble. The administration's success in knocking out silver, has had a great deal to do with this step. It has found that there are plenty of gold-bug republicans in both houses who are more than ready to join hands with it in any attempt to carry out the wishes of Wall Street, and accord A New Comet Discovered.

All friends of silver will, of course, oppose this new move of the gold-bugs, but it will be a very difficult matter to prevent the consummation of the scheme, which if carried out, will elect a Populist president next year; so great is the sentiment of the people against the destruction of the green-backs, that neither of the old parties that are engaged in this diabolical crime will ever be trusted with the reins of government in a hundred years.

Some time ago the Home-Riverside mines gave notice of a reduction from eighty cents to seventy cents per ton, alleging that they were unable to compete with Missouri coal mines and give more than the latter rate. The miners accepted the reduction without a murmer, and things were running along smoothly, when the miners at the North Leavenworth coal shaft, who were receiving eighty cents per ton, walked out of that mine and made a united effort to induce the miners of the other two shafts to go out on a strike. The situation was a novel one operatives without agrivance quitting work to induce others to go out on a strike who had not made demands for themselves. The operatives of the North Leavenworth shaft, however, saw that their eighty cents per ton rate could not be maintained if other neighboring mines were to only pay seventy cents, and hence they took the risk of this method to have their own schedule held up. This happened four weeks ago, since which time there has been a very unsettled condition among the miners.

The schedule referred to means the payment of 80 cents per ton for mining. Whether or not it includes giving to the miners a check wreighman is not yet known, but the strikers will insist on having a check weighman, as provided by the Kansas statutes. This ending of the strike is looked upon by the miners as a great victory. THE LATEST MARKET REPORT. Dr.
