REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION. To the Itcpuhllcati electors of Pennsylvania i The Kcpublloans of Pennsylvania, by their duly chosen representatives, will meet In Stale con vention Thursday, April 23, 1S90, at 10 o'clock a. m., in tho opera house, city of llarrislmrg, for the purpose of nominating two candidates for rcprcsentative-at-largo in Congress and thirty two candidates for Presidential electors, tho selection of eight dclegatcs-atdargc to tho lle publican National convention, nnd for the ransactlon of such other business as may be presented. By order of tho State Committee. M. s. quay. Attest: Jekr II. liBX, Chairman. V. It. Andrew h, Secretaries. The decision of tho Supremo Court to tho filTect that iimrili ipali ttc-s mn enter into n contract for lighting for more than ono your, is a sorious blow to tho preliminary injunc tion naked for by Solicitor Ui rich to restrain the llorougli Council of Tainaqiia from entering into a fivo-ycar contmct with tho Llectric Light Company of that place. It is really surprising that up to dato wo Jiavo had nothing in relation to the peach Ton of the Peninsula what its signs of lirumlnc or failure are. We cannot recall a parallcd instance, and can therefore only lazio oil I brains to learn the cause. Usually by this time we liavo the most confident announcements as to tho prospects of the crop, licucrally speaking, and for reasons that arc obvious to tho initiated, thoso announcements arc adverse to tho idea of a generous crop. Hut this year everything is mum, whether because the cold weather has kept Imek the fruit buds, or whether this is to lie an oil' year, and weather or no, peaches will bo scarce. Ik General llooth's views and deportment in regard to this country, its Hag, and 1U methods of attending to its own a flairs, aio as represented by Commander liallington liooth, tho, separation of father and son, as f.ir as control of tho Salvation Army is con cerned, came nono too soon. Commander Jljlllngton lias gheu to the public his state ment of tho causes of the rupture. Ameri can sentiment will doubtless accord him and liis energetic wife all needed support, a support that would doubtless have been just as liberaljy given had tho work of tho .Salvation At my been continued by him on the lines laid down and so imperiously in sisted on by his father, tho (leuer.il of the Salvation Army. , SELECTION OF CHAIRMAN. mo impression is gaining ground among Republicans that the rule which puis tho election of a Plate chairman in tho hands of the candidates nominated, does not work- as o ell as it was expected to, and thatthu sooner the rule is changed anil tho' selection of tl liairinaii is made by tho tonventio,n which name tho candidates, or by tho state com mittor, the better it will be fur all concerned. Last year tho rule was suspended nnd (he chairman turned by the convention, and it is quite likely this will lie rcjieated next week, .lust hero is where the Conibiiio is slikcly to nuke Its last kick and insist upon the chair man being chosen by the two candidates at large for Congress. As there is a great deal more involved , than the election of two Congressmen in this year's eleition, it does not seem to us quite right to leave the selec tion to tliiii,aud we hojie the convention will t ike die matter in hand and name the nmn who is to conduct the cumiiaigu. If this Is done we have no doubt that Frank Willing Leach will lie the man named, and in doing so tho wishes of the majority of the party will be respected and the work entrusted to one thoroughly trained in a good school one against whom the only charge we have ever heard mudo is that he is lint, hu-t and' all the rim a Itepubltcan who has the welfare of the party uppermost in his mind ; wltil abides by the will of.tlio inajoritj and wlU carry out that majority's will as ho is instructed. MINE FATALITIES. The Colliery Kugineer says that fully sixty per eout. of all the deaths and serious in juries in coal mines are due to falls of roof or coal, and says the fault lies with the miner in neglecting to properly support or pull down dangerous pieces of coal or rock. In apply ing the leiiietly it suggests the use of strict discipline and tho enforcement of latloual rule. If a mine foreman would Instantly dls- hargo every man ha caught working under a dauaeious piece of coal or rock, and com thine doing so for a couple of mouths, ho would soon give his- employes salutary oljeet lesson that would result in a marked dimin ution of accidents from this cause. While ft aim' loreuiun cannot keep his eyes on Die ui an is at till times, he does uud caiieomeou them at unexpected times. If when he dot this he fluds them neglecting their nun ia ftly, iie should eiifuiee the rule with greatest rigor and accept no excose. A few dUoharges will be enough. His men will wintt learn that the boss moans buslne-s. and that if lb. v disobey his orders by neglecting to set . sary props or pull down a loose piece uf a-Ur. ib V lose their job.

Hutu action may m harsh, but in n ulily it in nut.
