President Mitchell in hix last elate
nieut on the nituntion throughout the en
tire i.Mithrncite mriiui cHtiiiintvH that
ubout !,MI0 uihlitioiial mine worker liav
laid down their tool, making a total ol
11S.0OO mine workers idle.
There have bepp no important develop
ments in this district, and what little
change there is in the Hituiition is in fa
vor of the striking miners. It has beeu
estimated thnt of lO.OiH) mine workers
in the Hnzleton i-pgion about 8.0IM) did
(lot start work. President Mitchell in bil
estimate, however, mixed these figures to
10.0IK). Careful reports received from
every mining town in the nylon warrant
the estimnte that upward of 1.000 addi
tional men did not go into the mines yes
terday morning. Not one operator was
reported to have increased his working
force over that of the day before. Pres
ident Mitchell in bis statement, based on
reports received from his men iu the
field, makes the claim that not less than
1,.100 men who had entered the mines
failed to report yesterday morning. Al
though the majority of the operators and
mine superintendent give no figures they
insist that they are holding their own.
All was quiet iu Har.lvton, with the
exception of a few petty cases of breech
es of the peace. A crowd of mine work
ers numbering about 100 marched from
He A (loo through the south side, but
caused no trouble. At Jeauesville 73
men nt work fled on their approach.
District No. 7, which Includes all the
Hnzleton region, held a secret conference
to devise ways and means of furthering
the interests of the strikers. A centrnl
committee composed of two delegutes
from each of the local unions in the dis
trict was appointed to gnther information
for the use of President Mitchell.
Mine workers in Inrge numbers have
' ome to Huzleton to hear the latest news.
Meetings have beeu held at Stockton,
Harwood, Juddo, Shaft 3 at Hazleton,
Freeland, Colerainu and West Hnzleton.
President Mitchell spoke at the latter
place.
In response to requests on the part of
many newspapers for his views regarding
the strike situation Uev. Father Phillips
of St. Gabriel's church, who has beeu s
prominent factor in the strike, gave out
the following authorized statement:
"My views of the situation, briefly ex
pressed, may be summed up in a few sen
tences. Operators nnd miners are in
deadly struggle, one demanding submis
sion, the other recognition of the union
and concessions. Advantage so far, in the
lockout of collieries, is on the side of the
miners, but the battle has only begun
and endurance will decide the victory. It
is a question, therefore, of resources.
Continuation of courtict, if there lie op
portunity for peace, is an unnecessary
sacrifice of labor and capital. Hemem
ber thnt the" operators and miners are
not the whole public, nnd aggression on
the rights of others, if remediable, is
criminal.
"Tlio remedy hn been offered by O. B.
Marklo & Co. of Jeddo to the employees.
This is arbitration. Other operators have
this remedy and should apply it. Miners
recognizing it as the cardinal principle
of adjustment should accept it when of
fered. The communities demand it, the
state and nation demand it. Operators
and miners owe willing compliance with
public demnnd. Kights and obligations
cannot be separated. Victory to either
side gained by unnecessary human mis
ery Is a curse. The public voice, crying
for arbitration, compulsory if not other
wise, must be heeded. To still it, to dis
regard it in the face of untold evils, is a
crime against suffering humanity which
cannot go uupunished. Joint conference
or arbitration will decide the responsibili
ty and furnish the remedy and reparation
for the social and economic disturbance
called strike and smooth the way for hap
pier relations between employer and em
ployee, making the whole world better
uud brighter."

. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 10. The
Philadelphia and Heading Coal and Iron
company and all the local coal dealers
bnvi advanced the price of coal 25 and
ISO cents a ton, respectively. The Read
ing advance applies either to coal at the
mines or nt tidewater, and, with the local
dealers' advance, goes into operation at
once. The Heading further announces
that all unfilled orders for September
are canceled and that all future orders;
are subject to the compnny's ability to
furnish the coal. Regarding the local In
crease, dealers say the rush for coal has
been so great thnt they have at time
beeu compelled to pay premiums to got
the coal. The statement was also made
that the increase will be adhered to as
long as the strike lusts nnd that a further
increase depends entirely upon the length
of the strike.

Our Teri'ltorlnl Aeiiulslllnns.
NEW YORK, Sept. 17. Governor
Theodore Roosevelt has made public his
letter accepting the nomination for vice
president on the Republican national
ticket. Mr. Roosevelt reviews the va
rious Issues brought to the front by both
the Republican nnd Democratic parties.
The currency question, trusts nnd expan
sion are the subjects to which he has de
voted the greater part of his letter.
"I feel that this contest is by no means
one merely between Republicans mid
Democrats. We have a right to appeal
to all (joort citizens who nre fnrsightcd
enough to see what the honor nnd the
interest of the nation demand. To put
into practice the principles embodied in
the Kansas City platform would mean
grave disaster to the nation, for that
platform Ftands for reaction ami disor
der, for an upsetting of our financial
system which would mean not only great
suffering, but the nhuintoiimcut of tbo
tuition's good faith, and for n policy
nbrond which would Imply the dishonor
of the ling and an unworthy surrender of
our national rights. Its success would
menu unspenknble humiliation to men f
proud of their country, jealous of their
country's good name ami desirous of se
curing the welfare of their fellow clti
aens. Therefore we have a right to ap
peal to nil good men, north nnd south,
east and west, whatever their politics
may have been in the past, to stand with
us because we stand for the prosperity
of the country and for the renown of the
American flag.
"If this nation is to retain either Its
well being or its self respect, it cannot
afford to plunge into financial and eco
nomic chaos; It cannot afford to Indorse
governmental theories which wouW un
settle the standard of national honesty
nnd destroy the integrity of our system
of justice. The policy of the free coinage
of silver at a ratio of 10 to 1 is a policy
fraught with destruction to every home
in the laud. It means untold misery to
the head of every household nnd above
nil to the women and children of every
home. When our opponents champion
free silver at 10 to 1, they are cithor in
sincere or sincere in their attitude. If
insincere in their championship, they of
coarse forfeit all right to belief or sup
port on any ground. If sincere, then
they are a menace to the welfare of the
country."
Speaking of trusts, Mr. Roosevelt says;
"The first thing to do is to find out the
facts, nnd for this purpose nuhlicitv as !
to capitalization, profits and all else of !
ilnnol'tuncp In thu tillt.llf. lu tlm nn..t nun- '
ful measure. The mere fact of this nuli-
licity would in itself remedy certain evils.
and, as to the others, it would in some
cases point out the remedies and would
at least enable us to tell whether or not
certain proposed remedies would be u-e-
ful. The state acting in its collective
capacity would thus first find out the
facts and then be able to take such
measures ns wisdom dictated. Much can
be done by taxation. Even more can be
done by regulation, by close supervisiou
and the unsparing excision of all un
healthy, destructive and antisociul ele
ments. The separate statu governments
can do a great deal, and where they de
cline to co-operate the national govern
ment must step in."
Concerning expansion, he says:
"In 1803, under President Jefferson,
the greatest single stride in expansion
that we ever took was taken by the
purchase of the Louisiana territory. This
so called Louisiana, which included whut
nre now the states of Arkansas, Missou
ri, Louisiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Kansas,
Nebraska, North and South Dakota. Ida
ho, Montana and a large part of Colo-
rado aud Utah, was acquired by treaty I
nnd purchase under President Jefferson
exactly nnd precisely ns the Philippines j
chase under President MeKinley.
"The parallel between what Jefferson
did with Louisiana and what is now bc
iug done in the Philippines is exact.
Jefferson, the author of the Declaration
of Independence nnd of the 'consent of
the governed' doctrine, saw no incongru
ity between this and the establishment
of a government on common sense
grounds In the new territory, and he
railed at the sticklers for au impossible
application of his principle,
"Properly speaking, the question is now
the acquisition of Florida. This was
partly acquired by conquest and partly
by purchase, Andrew Jackson being the
most prominent figure in the acquisition.
Our next acquisition of territory wus
that of Texas, secured by treaty after it
had been wrosted from the Mexicans by
the Texans themselves. Then came the
acquisition of California, New Mexico,
Arizona, Nevada and parts of Colorado
and Utah ns the result of the Mexican
war. Then came the acquisition of
Alaska, secured from Russia by treaty
aud purchase. Nearly 30 years passed
before the next instance of expansion I
occurred, which wus over the Islund of
Hawaii.
"When we expanded over New Mexico
and California, we secured free gov
ernment to these territories and pro
vented their falling under the "mili
tarism" of a dictatorship like that of
Santa Anna or the "imperialism" of n
reul empire in the days of Maximilian.
We put a stop to imperialism in Mexico
as soon as the civil war closed.
"The next greut step in expansion was
not whether we shall expnnd for w'e
have ulready expanded but whether we
shall contract. The Philippines nre now
part of American territory. To sur
render them would be to surrender Amer
ican territory. They must, of course, be
governed primarily lu the Interests of
their own citizens. Our first care must
be for the people of the Islands which
have come uador our guardianship us a
result of the most righteous foreign war
that has been waged within the memory
of the preseut generation. They must
be administered in the iuterests of their
Inhabitants, and thnt necessarily means
that any question of personal or parti
san politics In their administration must
be entirely eliminated. We must con
tinue to put at the heads of affairs In the
different islands such men as General
Wood, Governor Allen and Judge Taft,
and It Is a most fortunate thing that we
are ablo to Illustrate whut ought to be
done in the way of sending ottiuers thith
sr by positing out what actuully baa
eeo dona."
UNDESERVING OF SYMPATHY
The people of Pennsylvania, gencr
nlly speaking, will decllno to synipa
tlhze with the Republicans of Philadel
phia In their present unenviable predic
ament. As a rule tinfortnnnte persons
are entitled to atirh assistance as moral
support nffords, nnd nine times out
of ten Pcntiaylvanlnns nre ready nnd
willing to extend sympathy wherever
there is dlntress without stopping to
Inquire the cause of It. Rut tho tenth
time Is where reason Rets In his fine
work, and then aympnthy la extended
Or withheld accordingly as It la de
served or not. Everybody knows thnt
a profligate la not helped by kindness.
The people of Philadelphia are not
more likely to be Oeneflted by sympa
thy. The present cause of distress In
Thllndelphla Is the absurd ninyor of
thnt town. "Snm" Ashbrldge, as he Is
failed by those who enjoy intimate re
lations with him, has undertaken to
boss the politics of the city In a way
never before known, even In thnt boss
ridden place. Mnybe his purpose la to
prove that Qtiny has not been as hard
as he might have been, and possibly be
has some other reason for his action.
But In any event he Is ruling his part
with an Iron hand nnd mnkes no con
cealment of his plans. With the arro
gance of nn autocrat he orders this
man to be nomlnnted and that one to
be defeated.
The people of Philadelphia, that Is
the Republican people there, would
be entitled to sympathy If they had not
brought the trouble upon themselves
with their eyes wide open. They know
as well aa other people the effect of
'putting a beggar on horseback." They
knew before they elected Sam Ash
brldge to the office of mayor that he
was unfit, mentally and morally, for
such a position. He had been a candi
date for sheriff of the city and was
defeated because of his unfitness. Rut
when he subsequently ran for the
higher and more Important office of
mayor the Republicans accepted him,
though they knew that the choice was
between an unfit Republican and a fit
Democrat.
Under such circumstances they de
serve no sympathy. Even If Sum ABh
brldge grinds the heel he has on their
necks no thoughtful man will pity
them. They deliberately chose a clown
to rule the city and deserve to pay the
penalty of their folly. Thus far Ash
bridge has shown a disposition to
nominate fairly good men for the of
fices. In other words, the cause of
complaint thus far Is against the meth
ods rather than the men that the mayor
is Imposing on them. But if he should
change his fancy and put thugs and
ballot box stuffers and ward heelers
in the positions of trust the people of
the state would not extend sympathy
The Republicans of Philadelphia have
made their bed. Let them lie on It.
HOW THE QUAY MACHINE
VIOLATES THE
CONSTITUTION.
"The Renoral assembly, at Its first
session after the adoption of this con
stitution, and immediately after each
decennial census, shall apportion the
state into senatorial and representative
districts." Sec. M, Art. II, Constitu
tion of Pennsylvania.
The state constitution, a section of
which Is above quoted, went into effect
on Jan. 1, 1874,and in accordance there
with the state was apportioned Into
senatorial and representative districts.
Although the United States has taken
the censua twice since then, the Quay
aachlne has made no senatorial appor
tionment since, but it did in 1887 make
a representative apportionment.
Vou will notice that this section of
tha constitution is mandatory; that is,
It Is a command directed to the general
assembly, but the Quay machine,
which was In control at the time the
constitution was adopted, and which
has remained In control ever since,
evidently arrogates to itself powers
greater than the constitution, for that
machine, nnd that machine alone, is
responsible for the flagrant violation
of the constitution. As a result a great
injustice has been done to the citizens
of the state.
We append a statement showing the
ratio of population to representatives
according to the census taken In 1890,
and lu this list we have included no
county allowed but one representative,
as the constitution provided that each
county shall have at least one member
of tho house of representatives. W
desire to call particular attention to
the counties of Carbon and Wayne.
The ratio In Carbon Is one representa
tive to each 38,624 Inhabitants, while
the ratio In Wayne Is one to every
15,605 of the poulatlon. It Is almost
needless to add that Carbon county is
usually Democratic, while Wayne
county Is strongly Republican. The
fine Italian hand of Senator Quay is
again in evidence.
