Foiled Labor.
The great eight hour strike which it
was predicted would take place on the
first of May in the bituminous coal re-
gions, to involve over a hundred thous-
and workers, is not likely to come off.
The Ohio miners, in the Hocking Val-
ley region, have already arranged with
their employers to continue the nine
hour day for another year at the pre-
sent wages, small asthey are. There
has been such sad experience, in that
region, of the losses, privations and
sufferings incident to strikes, that the
men have no heart for further adven-
tures of that kind. The West Virginia
miners have announced that they can-
not afford to be idle. The same fear
of idleness and its attendant suffering
pervades the mine workers of Kentucky,
Tennessee and the West. The workers
in the Pittsburg district, it is reported,
will not strike. The Clearfield, Jetler-
son and Centre county men are said to
be more disposed to go out than any of
the others, but they are confronted by
the danger that if they strike their trade
will be supplied by the regions that
will continue at work, and that the
only reward they would have for their
movement would be a long period of
idleness, with all the suffering whic it
implies, and eventually a return (0
work on the old conditions.
The thorough and disastrous failure
of the strike in the Westmoreland coke
region, which is now drawing to a
close with the complete defeat of the
strikers, does not furnish the miners
any encouragement to (ry the same
desperate remedy. It is the old story
over again. Poyerty cannot successful-
ly contend against wealth. Men whose
daily sustinence depends upon their
daily toil, whose living is from hand to
moath, cannot stand up ina struggle
of eadurance against the accumulated
resources of capital. The money side
of the contention, unfortunately, has
all the advantage. It has even the
protection of the government, which
gives it the advaniage of tariff laws
that fail to increase the wages of the
workingman while it increases the
price of everything he consumes. The
only cheap thing vouchsafed him is
sugar, the reduced price of which has
been brought about by free trade.
Some Interesting Questions.
The Republican Chicago Tribunc has
been asking Major McKINLEY some
interesting questions. Commenting on
his recent speeches glorifying his tariff
law, and prelicting it a permanence,
the Tribune goes for the Major in this
fashion :
How silly todeclare publicly with such seem-
ing confidence that this mill boss bill will not
be repealed in 10 years, when at this moment
everything political is so fluid and uncertain !
How does he know that the election of 1892
will not be a repetition of that of 1890? How
does he know that the next house, a Demo-
eratic one, will not pass bills cutting off the
heaviest and most onerous advances in his
tariff law? How does he know that the Senate,
though Republican, wiil not have enough
moderate protection Republican members to
pass those bills, fearing they would lose their
seats if they voted against them? How does
he know that President Harrison will not sign
those bills modifying these ultra duties? Ow-
ing to the large stock of goods yet on hand im-
ported under the lower duties last fall, con-
sumers have not felt yet, except as toa few
articles, the eflect of the McKinley bill. When
those stocks are worked oft, they will feel it
all along the line. Dreading higher prices
for necessaries,
candidates last year. Seeing that what they
feared has come to pass, will they not vote for
them next year?
And the Tribune fails'to take into
account disturbed labor conditions,and
declining wages with increased prices
of necessaries,
they voted for Democratic
SS TEER
fended.
The Revenue Bill now before the
Legislature 18 being subjected to sav-
age attacks by its opponents who'Spare
no terms of denunciation in speaking
of it. They call it an inquisitorial
measure whose exactions will be exas-
peratingly meddlesome and intolerably
oppressive. No form of property, they
say, will escape the assessor and the
tax-callector. This opposition comes
principally trom a class who heretofore
have very successfuily—too success-
fally—escaped the assessor and the
tax-collector, and they evidently want
to continue to escape those med-
dling and troublesome functionaries.
Life is very much pleasanter if it isn’t
bothered with taxes. Property, such
as money, stocks, and corporate invest:
ments, is much more appreciable and
valuable if it 18 not saddled with taxa-
tion. Why adopt the inquisitorial
and disagreeable process of nosing
out this kind of property when
farms and houses stand out in
such bold relief and present such
broad, unmistakable marks for the as-
cessor and tax-collector to take a
whack at? Such is the position as-
sumed by those who are opposing the
Revenue Bill.
The Grangers, however, are making
a vigorous defense of the Bill, which
may be considered as being really
theirs. A committee of the State
Grange has issued a circular in which
they show the necessity of a new rev-
enue law by exposing the defects of the
present one. It compares the taxation
on personal and corporate property with
that which is exacted of real estate.
Quoting the capitalization of railroads,
canals, telegraphs and telephones at a
total of $1,873,375,000, it adds these to
the estimate of other personal proper
ty at $1,452,000,000, showing that the
tax on this total of $3,326,000,000
amounts to $4,004,000, of which $2,
473,000 is collected from corporations.
As contrasted with this the circular
takes the total valuation of real estat eat
$2,002,942,000, on which the total taxa-
tion is $34,316,000, or in other words
eight times as much as on personal
property that is one third more in
value. A showing like this furnishes
irrefutable evidence that the tax law
needs a vigorous overhauling.

—The segment of the Harrison
circle which extended through the
South was attended with generous hos-
pitality on the part of the people of
that section. Considering that it was
only a few months ago that the Presi-
dent was employing all the power of
his administration in the unsuccessful
.attempt to bring the Southern people
under bayonet rule, the hospitable re-
ception they accorded him showed
great forbearance.
OL BT
An Angry Bishop.
Bishop Havcoon, of the Southern
Methodist church, severely denounces
the employment of the Pinkerton thugs
{in Pennsylvania and elsewhere. In
his honest indignation he exclaims:
“What right have these killing Pink-
“ertons, mere Hessians, fighting any-
“where for pay, to hold mobs in check,
“to put down riots, to evict strikers?
“Thank God, these hired ruffians have
“not yet been called on to help any
“city or corporation in the ‘Barbarous
“South.” If any plutocrats dowa here
“ghould so far forget the spirit of our
“institutions as to send for them, it is
“to be hoped that self-respecting state
“government will order out the militia
“to put out and down and impri-
“gon these Pinkertons. What do the
“northern people mean by tolerating
“it? What sort of notion of republi-
“can goverument have these northern
“governors and people?”
The good Bishop, in his righteous
wrath, forgets that in Pennsylvania
especially the problem of the blessings
of protection is being worked out, and
that the Pinkertons are merely agents
in exemplifying the benefits which the
McKinley bill is conferring upon the
workingman. 1f the good Bishop
understood this thing better he wouldn't
talk so wrathfully.

——A white man’s republican party
has been organized in South Carolina.
Ttis a small and select affair, but the
leaders of the movement declare they
will no longer submit to be under the
thumb of Swany, MiLer and com-
| pany, who run the colored element,
| In the State there are 458,000 whites
land 692,000 negroes, Deducting the
| Democrats from the white population
| there is not much margin for white

! Republicans.

It is amusing to see the Repub-
| licans “point with pride” to the effects
| of the free trade clause. in the McKin-
| ley bill relative to sugar. It is the
‘only clause of that measure that is
| giving any reliet to the people, and it is
‘rank free trade.
The Revenue Bill Assailed and De-
Governed Too Much.
Mr. CuarLEs FraNcis ApaMs, one
of the original Republicans of Massa-
. chusetts, has become one of the latest
; and most notable converts to the prin
| ciples of Jeffersonian Democracy, and
| he gives the following expression of his
! changed views:
| The very general popular idea which now
| exists that the Government is the grand pater-
nal do-all, to protect everyone and averything,
and to provide remedies for every ill that the
body politic is subject to, [do not sympathize
in. On the contrary, I am so out of date and
antiquated in my opinions as to think that the
| world is governed altogether too much, and
; that it has rarely been governed so much or so
; badly as it has been inthis country within the
: last 25 years. What our country needs most
{ of all, in my judgment, is in matters legislative
| to be severely let alone, and that the industri-
| ous and thrifty people thereof be permitted to
' work out their and its salvation in their own
| way. Ifso left they will work out that salva-
| tion a great deal quicker and a great deal more
| satisfactorily than they will ever succeed in
i doing while the Government incessantly en-
| cumbers them with its well meant but raost
| ill-advised assistance in so doing.
| What the country needs is more re:
peal and not more enactments. Repeal
the laws which for 25 years have put
the nipple of the nursing bottle in the
mouths of manufacturers and forced
the rest of “the country to furnish the
milk. This portion ot the world was
“never governed so much or so badly”
as during the last 25 years, when Re-
publicanism has taken it for granted
that the wealthier & section or the
stronger a class the greater its need of
being “fostered’’ at the expense of the
weaker and poorer.

Treasury Cheese-paring.
Although the country is sweating at
every pore in the way of contributing
taxes, the men who are at the head
of the treasury are greatly embar.
rassed to meet the expenses imposed by
the Billion Dollar Congress. Secretary
Foster finds himself cramped, and acts
as if he expected a financial squeeze.
A million dollars are coming into the
treasury every day from the various
sources of taxation, but it isn’t enough.
The Secretary is trying by small
savings to increase the available cash,
a deficiency staring him in the face as
the demands come in for the money
appropriated by the late extravagant
congress. Wherever an employe can
be dispensed with in the internal rev-
enue and other bureaus they are being
turned adrift under instructions from
Secretary FosTER.
There is something laughable in this
cheese-paring, in view of the Billion ap-
propriated by the last Congress, which
has to be met. It is like Mrs. Parr
INGTON trying to keep out the tide with
a broom. But Foster was once a
country store keeper, and he has faith
in the virtue of cheese-paring. But
small economies intended to mest the
requirements of co'ossal extravagance
he is in a hole and is driven to resort
to petty expedients with the desperate
hope of averting the acknowledgement
that the treasury is bankrupt.
—One of WASHINGTON’ old coats
was recently sold for $105. Its price
should suit the fancy of McKINLEY who
has a contempt for “cheap coats.”
Reason to be Mad,
A contemporary, of the Republican
persuasion, severely condemns the peo-
ple of Opelousas, Louisiana, for object
ing to the appointment of a negro post-
master so strenuously that they ran
him out of town. Bat the people of
Opelousas have some excuse for their
vigorous action. They know that the
administration wouldn’t dare to put a
negro in charge of a post office in a
northern community; and what it
wouldn't do in the North it presumes
to do in the South. This is adding in-
sult to jury, and it isn’t any wonder
that a southern town should get mad
under such circumstances. There is
really a better claim for negroes to oc-
cupy post offices in the North than in
the South, under a Repablican admiuo-
istration, for there isn’t a northern Re-
publican State that has not been made
Republican by the colored vote. The
negro voters ofthe North in fact elected
the present administration. They are
politically entitled to some of the post
offices, but they shouldn’t have them
in the South where their votes didn’t
put HarrIsoN into office.
——The wool growers of the United
States were to be particularly benefited
by the fostering care of McKINLEY,
It was for their especial protection
that the wool duties were increased and
the people compelled to say good-by to
“cheap coats.” Upon this feature ol
the bill the granger was invited to look
with peculiar delight, forit was said
that it would raise the price of his wool
clip. But it hasn't done so. Penn-
sylvania wool has actually dropped
five cents a pound since the McKinley
bill went into operation, and there has
been a corresponding decline in the
price of the fine wools of Ohio. But
the price of woolen goods, which the
people have to buy, has by no means
declined.

‘Ballot Reform in Ohio.
The Democratic Legislature of Ohio
has done acomplete thing in the pas-
sage of a ballot reform bill. It pro-
vides for the use of the Australian bal-
lot, absolute secrecy in voting, string:
ent regulations guarding against bribery
and intimidation, and it places the
whole election machinery on a strictly
nonpartisan basis. It thus expresses an
honest determination to secure honest
elections.
The previous Republican Legislature
had a similar bill before it, kept it in
suspense during an entire session, and
allowed 1t to die without having en-
tertained any intention of passing it.
They knew that the people wanted
ballot reform ; they promised to give it
to them, and, of course, they lied in
making *he promise.
The present Republican Legislature
of Pennsylvania would like to play the
same deceptive game. Their platform
promised a reformed ballot law, but 1t
is doubtful whether the Bosses will al-
low it. Meanwhile the Democrats ot
Ohio have given the people what they
want and what the Democracy was
pledged to give them.

—_The President attempted a witti-
cism when he said, the other day :
«Qhio men are especially apt to be
found in the vicinity of a public office.”
This is a well known fact, but there
isn’t the slightest probability that an
Indiana man will be found 1n the
vicinity of the Presidential office two
years heuoce.
——The death of the great German
soldier, Vox MortkE, which occurred
suddenly last Friday, was what could
have been expected from his great age,
but it was nevertheless a shock to the
German people who regarded him with
a sort of idolatry. He was certainly
the greatest commander that Europe
has produced since the time of Naro-
Luox, and history has never shown his
superior as a stratagist. What he
would have been able to do in that line
it he should have had a NAPOLEON to
contend with cannot be conjectured.
He beat Austria, which was never a
hard power to beat, and he caught
France in a condition that gave her no
show in the fight. Nevertheless he
was a remarkable stratagist and a great
general.

The Law’s Delay in Centre County.
EprtoR WATGHMAN :—
Tedious and asgravating delay in liti-
gation pending in our courts led me to
inquire into the causes that have made
Centre county justice almost a by word
and a reproach. Knowing tbat others
have suffered like unto myself, I ask
you to give my observations a place in
vhe WarcaMAN. When the present
Judge assumed the duties of his office
our argument aad issue lists were up to
date, and the trial lists were almost en-
tively made up of cases but recently
brought. The record shows that if a
suit was brought to one term of court it
could be tried by tbe next term, and at
the furthest the second term after the
one to which it was returnable. Now
it takes about two years, and often more,
to get a case tried, Some cases have
been dragged around in court for three
and four years. In fact there are cases
still pending that have been at issue for
S1X years.
The issue list is the longest in the
history of the County, and there are
many cases at issue and ready for trial
that are not put down for trial because
it is impossible to reach them during
the next year. Ths lastcase on the pre
sent trial list for the second week was
brought in May, 1889, to No. 72, Au-
gust Term, 1889, and the oldest case on
that list to No. 193, November Term,
1883. There are a number of causes
pending that have been at issue for five
and six years. Such a state ot affairs is
indeed a mockery of justice, and, to say
the least, very detrimental to the inter-
ests of those who have business before
our courts.
What is the cause of all this, and who
is responsible? When 1 inquire of the
attorneys they inform me that thei:
cases are as issue, and will be tried just
as soon as they can be regularly reach-
ed, but that they are powerless to force
their cases to trial. The court fixes the
number of weeks of court to be held dur-
ing the year, and the trial lists are made
up under the rules of court by the pro-
thonotary under the direction of the
President Judge.
An examination of the records and
the rules confirms these statements.
While attorneys at times delay a case
for the purpose of getting time for their
clients, they are not responsible for this
wholesale delay of business. When in-
quiry is made of the Judge for the cause
of this uncalled for delay, the answer
given is, that it is all the fault of the at-
torneys; that they fail to have their
cases ready, and the court is delayed in
this way. This excuse is a mere subter-
fuge. The large issue list now ready
for trial, and the large number of cases
continued at every term because they can
not be reached, contradict this assertion.
The real trouble undoubtedly rests with
the President Judge. The fact is that
our criminal cases usually take up near
ly all of the first week of each term, and
this then leaves only about four weeks
in each year to try civil cases. It is
simply an utter impossibility to dispose
of the litigation of the county in so short
a time. Heretofore our judges were in
the habit of holding special courts
| punctuated her utterances by appealing
EATS STARA
possible that this is the reason that we
are compelled to suffer by having our
business in the court of this county de-
layed ? I do not wish to say that this is
the case, but the conclusion is almost
irresistible when the facts are looked
squarely in the face. However, I am
convinced that if the Judge would stay
at home in his own district for at least
part of the time that he is holding
courts in other districts, and he and the
attorneys work together, in a short time
our list would be brought up and liti-
gants would have their business dispos-
ed of promptly. This is a serious thing,
and the people's r'ghts should not be
trifiled with in this manner, especially
when there is an easy way out of the
difficulty.
Instead of the Judge trying to place
the responsibility upon others, let him
go to work and fix a_sufficient number
of weeks of court to dispose of the busi-
ness now pending, and then see to it that
the list does not again drag behind.
The people of the county have rights
which even the court should respect,
and it is unjust that they should be put
to these unnecessary delays and incon-
veniences. «B® #i%

CarcuiNG Trout UNDER Five INCH-
Es.—Some fishermen believe that
trout under five inches in length can be
lawfully caught if they are not sold. In
reply to a letter bearing on this ques-
tion, H. D. Demuth, Secretary of the
Commissioners of Fisheries, says : Troat
of five inches in length or under cannot
be taken from the stream for any pur-
pose.” This ought to settle the matter,
and if any are catching trout in viola-
tion of this decree, under the impres-
sion that the law gives them this pri-
vilege, they had better desist and avoid
getting into trouble.
ENcouNTERED A Porcupine. —Neil
Davis’ dog, and not an ordinary one, by
the way, took a stroll by moonlight
last night, and before returning encoun-
tered a porcupine. This morning when
he greeted his master it was discovered’
that his mouth and tongue were full of
quills. Niel took a unique but very success
ful way of removing them. He removed
a picket from the fence, put the dog's
head through and nailed the picket on
again. A stick was then placed in the
dogs mouth with a string at either end,
and tied to the fence to keep the mouth
of the canine open. In this way Neil
was able to perform a very neat surgi-
cal operation. Some of the quills had
penetrated more than an inch, and no
doubt were very painful to the dog.
Neil says that this is the third time that
the dog has come in similar con tact
with porcupines.— Philipsburg Journal.
Anna Dickinson's Queer Lecture.
New York, April 26.—Anna Dick-

on “Personal Liberty.” It was Miss
Dickinson’s first appearance since her
confinement in an insane asylum and
her deliverance therefrom. She opened
her address upon “Personal Liberty”
witha violent attack upon the republican
party and with bitter words against var-
ious persons prominent in public life.
The personal characterizations were in
many instances repugnant to decency
and the ladies who occupied the orches-

left the theatre.

A REMARKABLE TURTLE.—In June,
1861, W. J. Wilson found back of
Mill Hall, in Bald Eagle township, on
the Albert Sperring farm, a mud turtle,
on the shell of which he engraved “June
1861, W. J. W.” Twenty years after
this, in 1871, this same turtle was found
by Mr. Wilson's eldest son, in Beech
Creek township, about seven miles from
the spot where it was first seen, and he
engraved on it “D. R. W., June, 1881.’
On Saturday last, or April 25, 1891, ten
years later, the elder Mr. Wilson again
found this same turtle near his house in
Beech Creek township, thirty years from
the time he had seen it first. Mr. Wil-
son showed a DEMoCRAT man this re-
markable creature, with the legends en-
graved on its shell, and the question
now is;how long will a mud turtle live
if let alone and it takes ordinarily good
care of its health ? When this turtle was
discovered in June, 1861, the war of
the Rebellion had been in progress for
about two months, and it has seen or
lived through the presidential adminis-
trations of Abraham Lincoln, Andrew
Johnson, Ulysses S. Grant,R. B. Hayes,
Chester A. Arthur, Grover Cleveland
and two years of Benjamin Harrison.

G. A. R. Men Will Fight,
No Red Flags Dare Fly Over the
Strikers.
Mount PreAsaNT, Pa., April 26.—
The coke strikers have said that red
flags will be carried in their procession
on May 1. This declaration has thor-
oughly aroused the old soldiers of this
section, and they say emphatically that
if any man attempts to carry a red flag,
and thus insuit the Stars and Stripes, he
will not parade very far. The Grand
Army men go so far as to declare that
they will shoulder muskets and follow
the paraders rather than permit the An-
archistic emblem to be flaunted.
