Schuck of Catawissa and Win. Bo gart of Espy have announced them selves or are about to announce themselves as Independent Dem ocratic Candidates lor County Com missioner. In this, we think they are making a mistake, which polit ically will reflect on them. These two gentlemen registered with the County Chairman before the June primaries, paid their registration fee, and announced themselves as Caudidates fur this office in the newspapers, and subject to the rules of the Democratic party. When the votes that were polled at tlu primaries we.e counted in the Convention, it was learned tha C. L. I'ohe of Cataw issa had the high est number of votes, W. B. Schuck of Catawissa the next highest num ber of voles, Jerry A. Hess of Bloomsburg the next highest num ber of votes and Wm. Bogart of Espy the next highest number of votes. Both caudidates from the South side having received the highest number of votes, the convention was relegated to the rules of the party, which declared, and the Court of Common Pleas here decided, that the candidate with the highest number of votes from the North side shall be de clared one of the nominees, and the candidate with the highest number of votes from the South, side shall be declared the other nominee. The Chairman of the convention went further than that. He had authority under the rules to declare Hess and Pohe the nominees, but not cariug to take all that responsi bility on himself, left it to the de cision of the return judges who compose the convention, who al most unanimously voted that Hess IN THE COUNTY Surplu and Undivided Profits 8100,000. b.' declared tie nominee. What docs the South i-ide want or whit (Kes Mr. Schuck want? Do they want both commissioners nominat ed on that side? Su-ely this wis not the ii.t.iit'on of the framers o! tht-s? rules. It is easy to see how Mr. Schuck should receive such a huge number c f votes. The voters from tlx: South side cast their votes for one of two men, either Schuck or Pohe, while the voters from the North side cast their votes for one oi five or six men, and each re ceived a very s-ibsUntial vote. These rules were expressly framed for an instance like thi-, so that neither side would get both candi dates fijr County Commissioner. Mr. Schuck knew this or ought to have known it, before he announced hi tus.'lfaSfi candidate, and when he did announce subject to the rules of the Democratic party, whether nominated or defeated, if he is now an independent candi date, it seems that he is not willing to abide by the rules of the party of which he claims tube a memb r. I As to Mr. Bogart we cannot see 'hat he has the slightest grievance. He wis fourth in the race in num ber of votes received and second in votes on the North side. The best evidence that Mr. Bogar'. is not the choice of the party for a second term is the fact that he did not get as many votes as his opponent on the North side. Democratic voters, Mr. Schuck was deprived of t lie nomination because of the rules of the party, and it he is a good, loyal Democrat he wculd not now be a candidate, but take his defeat man ly, and Mr. Bogatt was deprived of the nomination because he did not get as many votes as his opponent on this side. A very good season. Men who subscribe to the rules of the party, and announce themselves subject to these rules, and then are wil.ing to abrogate them or go back on them so soon are not eu'itlcd to the voles of loyal Democrats. If we are to maintain our supremacy aud majority in this County we must stand by the ticket and its nomi nees. Neither Mr. Schuck nor Mr. Boirart have anv claims udoii thi Democratic voters of this County ! for County Commissioner and I should not be supported by the Democrats. The Democratic organ ization of this County is working ha-d to get out the vote and they want a straight ticket voted from ' top to bottom and not split up for any independent candidates. Vote the straight Democratic ticket from ' top to bottom and assist the organi zation in rolling up an old time ma jority. This will best discourage independent candidates in the future. Lift the Lid. The election of William A. Berry as treasurer of Pennsylvania would assure the putting of an effectual stop to the evil practices which have prevailed for many years in the management of the state funds. Further than that, Mr. Berry, as treasurer, could turn the light upon all records of the instif ntirm rinrl would uncover many dark secrets which they hold. The people would for once in a third of a century know just how much money the state really has and why, when there is an alleged balance of many millions on hand, there is always trouble evcy year in getting the school appropriations paid. Mr. Berry's induction in the office of state treasurer would be hailed with delight by every honest citizen of the state, and would be viewed only with dissatisfaction, distrust and terror by the members of the state machine aud those tnjoying inti mate relations with them.

On April 1, 1905, every coal mine in Pennsylvania, O h i o , Indiana, Illinois, West Virginia and put .f Kentucky will clo-e down for an iiuh finite- period, i! present pLns do not niscarrv. A meeting ol the coal operators of all these Mat' s has been called to take place Novell. Icr 2 2 ml at Chic, go, when plans will be com pleted for tin greate.-t lockout in the history of the world. This ar rangement is intended to crush the t'nited Mine :kcrsof America as an or;; mi t i . 1 1 , and at the same tim: force up the price of coal to the consumer. Herman Juti, 0 mmissioiier of the Illinois Coal Iterators' Asso ciation svi:t out the call f r th, Chi cago confircr.ee. This will be the firt.l time the anthracit'.' coal opera tors will hive t n'eied into ar: agree ment with the bituminous opera tors. The object of their j iiiing in the conference is to curb the growth of unionism in the eastern coal mines. There exists among the Western Pennsylvania, Indiana, Ohio and Illinois ioal operators an agree ment known as the interstate agree nient, wheribv th ; operators annu ally meet the United Mine Workers of the various district;: and settle on a mining rate for the year. The anthracite coil operators are i n willing to deal with the miners' union, mid have about 30,000 miners employed in Eastern Penn sylvania under individual contracts. All the wage scales in these states expire April 1 ; in fact, nearly all the min ng scales of the country expire on that dale. It is to meet this criis that the meeting has been called in Chicago next November. The miners are getting better w ages than ever in the his'ory of the in dust y. taking working facilities into consideration. The interstate price is based on 85 cents per ton for soft coal mined and run over an inch and one-quarter screen. Some of the Western coal opeiaturs want this reduced to 70 cents a ton, and the miners will meet with this pro posal in January at the wage con ference. The eastern operators will not be represented at this January gathering. It is believed that the miners representatives will refuse to accent the reduction, and the mines will b closed down until one side or the ether is starved out. As a result, the anthracite opera tors have begun piling up coal, and will fill their docks at both ends of the lakes, and will load every boat, J barge and scow obtainable with ' coal between now and April t. The ! operators have reached an under- standing whereby no contracts are 1 to be nccepted for coal between now and April 1 for delivery after ! April 1. i A Proposed Quay Monument. A correspondent writing in a Philadelphia contemporary of recent date suggests a design for the pro posed Quay monument to be erect ed in Capitol park, Harrisburg, in the event that the legislation on that subject is ratified at the coming election by the success of the ma chine candidate for Slate Treasurer, J. Lee Plummer. The writer ac curately estimates that if Plummer is defeated the monument will never be erected, for however anxious our absurd and imbecile Governor may be to canuonize vena'i'y, no com mission can be induced to act before the next Legislature repeals the law aud withdraws the appropriation. But if the unexpected should happen, if Plummer should be elect ed and the monument erected the writer suggests that the proper thing would be to have an effigy of Quay picking the pocket of Father Pnin; o- in the event that the friends of Penn should object to such an exhibition of the founder ol Ayers To be sure, you are growing old.

Support respectfully solicited. 51 the State, an effigy of Quay shaking tha plum tree would te the next most appropriate conception. There is a et)od deal of reason in both propositions. The first suggestion has the greater merit as most nearly expressing the piscticcs of Quay. But it would be a trifle tough on Father Penn, w ho wasn't altogether an idot and consequently would't likely tolerate such a performance continuously. Therefore the second proposition would belter be adopt ed. But after all, as we have frequent ly observed, there isn't so much difference between Quay and his associates in the Peuns) lvania ma chine, and those who have succeed ed him in control. Quay was bad enough. His life was a long con tinued career of political crime and organized fraud. For nearly fifty vears he had been systematically plundering the public and in defi ance of the laws of God and man built up a vast fortune for the sur vivors of his family. But his death didn't end the iniquity. His drop ping out du'n'. che.k th itedatory operations of the machine. The system winch he practised is the rightful object of public reprehen sion and 110 matte: wdiat form the monument takes it will be an insult to the integrity and an outrage upon the conscience of the people of Pennsylvania, i he way to prevent the outrage is to defeat the candi date ol the party.
