Tlie Lewitown Gaiette, radical, calls
it "small business" for democratic papers
to talk about the $1,76 which Treasurer
Mackev swears remain iu the state treas
itry with last wiuter's expense* unpaid.
We would gladly talk about a larger
sum, if it w ere there, but radical rule lias
droned it all out, except a few ftps w bich
remained sticking in the cracks, and to
pull out which their pilfering linger
nails have t<een worn to the quick, and
now we hear that tiro. Frysitrger of the
Gaiette has pronnd himself a pair of
sharp iron tweeters. and with these ex
pects to "go far" the few tips yet stick
ing in the cracks of the treasury.
It does not seem to us as though the
Petin'a. RR. Co. eared a snuff about the
Suubury A Lewistowu railroad, which
now lieu altogether idle. It is assorted
that the company aforesaid can trans
port their freight from Sunburv to l.ew
istown, cheaper via Marvsville than by
the Sunburv A Lewistown road—hence
it does not want this Snyder county road.
A writer in a Harrisburg paper says all
a thirty ton engine cau take over the
Sunburv and Lewistowu road is dfteeu
I>aded cars, while the same engine will
take eighty loaded tars to Lewistown by
way of Marvsville. The difference in
distance you will see is readily overcome
by the difference in the grades of the
two roads. Therefore it is cheajer for
the Pennsylvania railroad to tarry their
freight by the latter route, as they not
only save in transportation, but are not
obliged to keep up a corps of agents,
operators and clerks, as they would if
they operated the Sunburv and Lewis
town road. Upon the completion of the
Lewisburg, Centre and Spruce Creek
road they will then have a short cut
from the Northumberland coal fields to
Tyrone, and render the Sunburv and
Lewistown road of no value whatever
to them.
This is the view fce have taken of this
difficulty all along—the Penn'a. RR. Co.
does not care about the road through
Snyder county, and we do not believe it
will ever again put rolling stop upon it
or operate it upon any conditions, for
with the Lewisburg and Centre road it
will have a much more direct route from
Sunburv to Tyrone and the bituminous
coal fields ofCentre and Clearfield coun
ties. Upon this feet we hare based our
strongest hopes of the completion of our
own road, although it has been going
forward at a slow j>ace. Our road, com
pleted, will be the doom of the now
abandoned Sunburv A Lewistown road,
as it will not pay the great corporation
to run both, and ours will afford them
greater advantages.
To prevent the numerous accidents to
which railroad trains are liable from one
car jumping the track, it is proposed to
apply to cars a kind of shoe, consisting
of a clamp-like arrangement which is
affixed between the wheelsof each truck.
This runs about two inches above the
rail, and if anything happens to throw
the wheels from the track, the clamp at
once grasps the rails, holds the car on
the track, and brings the train to a
speedy halt. Such a shoe will, it is
claimed, prove a great saving of railroad
rolling stock, and will add one-third to
the strength of the truck, it being con
structed of iron and weighing abont five
hundred pounds. It is found, by exper
iments made with cars provided with
this device, that the arrangement in
sures perfect security against the class of
accidents it is designed to meet ; and it
is also estimated that, on account of the
additional strength which such an at
tachment must necessarily supply, a car
must last twice as long, on an average,
with as without it
The Times says: Brother Bowen is
still going about with that chip on his
shoulder. He informed a reporter on
Tuesday night that he had not been sub
po-uaed, and did not know whether be
would be, but that if ever he got on that
witness-stand he would tell all he knew,
and what he didn't know about it was of
no account. His information, however,
which he describes as "very serious,"
was communicated to him "in the confi-
dential relations which these two men
formerly held" with him, and he cannot
and will not disclose it except through
process of law, or "unless forced to do it
to relieve himself of some stigma which
may be put upon him." This last re
mark appears to indicate a possibility of
our getting down into the recesses of
Brother Bowen's mind eventually, for
in the general interchange of abuse that
is going on it is scarcely likely that he
can escape without a "stigma" of some
kind. But meanwhile the truly good
man remains dumb. It appears from
the interview that the plaintiff's lawyers
have Bpoken to him, but as he would not
tell them in advance what he would tes
tify, they have hesitated to call him, aud
the other side has not wanted him at all;
and having given this information,
Brother Bowen went on to lament, in a
most heartrending way, the "tremend
ous lying" there has been in the court
room. "I can't indicate, of course, which
aide it is on, but I do not hesitate to say
that there has betn the most awful,
downright perjury." Well, we all knew
that; but it seems that Bowen is the on
ly man who can tell us the one thing we
Want to know, which side lias done the
lying. There is no reason why he should
volunteer a statement, but there is every
reason why the party in the suit that is
not afraid of the truth, if there be such a
party, should put him on the stand with
out more delay. Call Henry C. Bowen.

A quarterly nUlrment of the mercan
tile failures in this Country, embracing
January, February ami Mareh, wcorili
1,733 failures in those months, and the
aggregate liabilities are s t -t down at S3S,-
873,22".'. According to an estimate made
by dividing the whole number of fail
ures in 1872, 1873 and 1874 by four, the
first quarter of these years showed the
auuexed number of failures: In 1872
the number was 1,017 ; in 1873 there was
an advance to 1,203, and a still further
advance in 1874 to 1,4-"7. The liabilities
for these jeriods were as follows 1 ir-t
quarter of 1872 is given at $50,264,000;
then came an increase in the same
months of 1873, and the amount reached
137,124,000; the first quarter of 1874
showed a decrease, and the liabilities
fell to S3B, St>o,ooo. The liabilities of the
whole year of 1872 are set down at $121,-
056,000; those of 1573 at $228.449.0>.>0, and
those of 1874 at $155,239,000. If the re
maining quarters of thia year h< j> pace
with January, February and March, the
total w ill W $155,492,888. This is a slight
increase over that of last year. The lia
bilities of the corresponding months of
1374 and 1875 are nearly equal in arnonnt.
In New York State during the first quar
ter of this year there were 152 failures
and the liabilities are reported at $2,-
694,562. In New York city there were
197 failures aud the debts are reported
at $8,490,500. In State and city, 349 fai
lures, liabilities, $11,185,062. In Pennsyl
vania 155 failures occurred and the ag
gregate liabilities are $4,927,606. Phila
delphia is included iu this count. Mas
sachusetts, New llatn]>shiro and Maine
are lumj>ed, and 113 failures and $5,514,-
tJOO liabilities recorded from the la-gin
ning of the year until the end of March.
In the whole Southern States there were
312 failures, aud the added liabilities are
$5,184,567. This is not a bud exhibit in
a section w hose trade and industries un
trodden down at present, and have been
for years, by circumstances of a peculiar
character. Another noticeable feature
of the bankrupt return of the first quar
ter of 1875 is that the aniouut of liabili
ties shows little increase above the aver
age of the same period of the hist four
years. The circular from which the
above facts were taken, in commenting
upon the subject of business failures in
1875, says : "Considering the continued
depression in numerous interests, the
exceeding severity of the winter and the
lateness of the spring, the conclusion is
truly encouraging. It was to be expect
ed that numerous wrecks from the pan
ic of 1873 would be discovered long after
the storm had passed, and probably not
a few of the above failures can thus be
characterized." In this city and State
the business community have weathered
the storm in a truly comincnduhlc man
ner. The number of failures are not ex
cessive, when all the facts are consider
ed; nor are the liabilities greater than
might reasonably l>e expected. To the
general disturbed and unhealthy state of
affairs in Pennsylvania must l>e added
the strikes in certain sections, which
have produced most unfortunate results.
Men could not use capital in jtarticular
branches of business, and millions of
dollars produced no returns. These facts
pulled down men and firms which, but
for this unfortunate train of circumstan
ces, would have been prosperous in all
their business relations. Hut the coun
try is emerging from under the cloud
which has so long cast a shadow u|>on
its business and financial pros|>ects, and
we may confidently hope that each com
ing quarter will show a decrease both in
the number of failures and the amount
of the aggregated liabilities.

"We n.u*t (how to the public," aid the
, hairman, yesterday, "that the mine-* are
'not to blame for ibi* tlrike ; are not u>
blame for lha high price of ; *l. At the
tir-t of the j car, when we met our employ -
err, they gave u to undcratand that they
did not waul u* to work at nil. They had
a large •quantity f coal on hand which
ithey wished to ell; and that thry might
keep up the price of coal, they did not care
to mine any more at that time Hut they
laid they would give u* work if a rcduc*
lion of l eiity per 101 t. o i the p:ice paid
far mining n agreed to. There were
about ♦>,otW miner* employed in the an
thraciteioal mints of I'< nn-ylvania T*o
third* oi lh(M protested against the pro
posed reduction, and n look-out bv the
employers wi* the result. The Jmen had
been working at starvation prices and they
could not nc< ede to the further reduction
'"ln l*?.'. continued Mr WiNiams. "the
rate'of mining was £0 cent* a ton, and coal
sold at Kllxabetbport and Weal Hobok< n
for $-'> a ton. I'i.der the effect of the con
teat which eiuied between the miners and
the employee*, in 1871, the price v>u re
duced to od cent* per ton, coal still telling
a ton at Klixabethporl."
Railroads the Cause of the Trouble.
Then came thi* la-t demand for les wa
ges. When the miner* were locked out
by the owner* of the railroad*- for it i* the
railroad corporation* that are at the bot
tom of all thi* trouble—the (killed labor
er* in the anthracite region* were able to
earn (Mi a year on an average, and the
unskilled laborers n year. Should
the miner* comply with the demand of the
corporations, the skilled laborer* would be
able !•> earn only S3BB a year, and the com
mon men $:i(M Out of this paltry aum
the laborer must support hi family and
him>elf.
"Then lake into consideration the char
acter of the work ho hat to do. He i# un
der ground from unrie on Monday morn
ing until sunaet on Saturday. He comet
out a* black as a negro, and goes back on
Monday a little whiter. He it in constant
danger. Kvery eightieth or one hundronth
man working in tlio minnt it killed in a
year. And yet they want ut to work for
$1 lets a day."
"One groat reason," said another of the
committee, "for the reduction i* that the
corporations nro determined to break up
the unions The miners' and Laborers'
Benevolent Association numbers about
85,000 members, and this organization liny
are determined to crush, if they can."
"1 he real reason," said the chairman,
"that the reduction is demanded lies in tho
fact that the railroad and mining corpora*
lions, for the most of the mines nro owned
by railroads, have borrowed and invested
in coai lands and other property in the
Anthracite region, $lU0,000,00i).
Heavy Interest on Foreign Capital.
| "A large purl of this money is of British
and other foreign capital, on which they
are trying ly pay 10 percent dividends
land interest; while the coal mined in the
Schuylkill region alone is required to pay
annually in dividends and interest about
$10,000,000 gold. And so the corporations
reduce the wage* and increase
the price of cool, and are thus
trying to make starving miners and the
coal conrumrr* of this and other cities -up
port foreign capitalists.
"The miners would not complain if the
price of coal corresponded with the wages.
Our lust rales for wages were on a basis of
coal selling ut $5 ifton. Fifty cents from the
$5 went to the miner. Now coal sell* at
ST,"*) and and the corporations want
us to to take thirty cents, or lev.
"Tho miners recently voted to continue
their resistance to the demands of the em
ployers, and wo now appeal to the country
to bear us out in om resolution, and the
country is helping u. The Industrial
Congress which assembled in Indianapolis
on the LUh of April sent ut enmuraging
words and £6OO, and promised us $3,000

Therefore it i* unjust to give the prizes to
those who are no fortunate as to be cor

on them. A better method than the old
olio is, to iet each competitor writo down
the whole li-t simultaneously as it i* given

chosen in the usual way* and the fun of the
thing will not bo interfered with, while the
object of tho trial will be fairly accom

the per*on spelling the largest number cor

who spell* all down, l'hi* i* the only fair
way, and if our spelling match is to be aj
success it will be adopted. A public an
