WHAT THE RECORD THINKS OF IT,
The Record, candidate Singerly’s
paper, says editorially of the action of
the Democratic State convention;
‘The ticket is admirably distributed,
giving. as near as possible, every part
of the state arepresentative. The can-
didates are with two exceptions young
men in the vigor of manhood, Mr.
Singerly and ex-Judge Bucher being
the only veterans,

mation as their candidate for Gover-

this journal. At the same time they

to elect the next governor of the state
rienced candidate for the governor-
ship.
winning one.
gentlemen on the state ticket give it
strength and coherence.
tions show that a party will stand by
its guns. It is fight on the part of the
taxation, for uncrippled trade, for con-
stitutional and settled government.
In such a contest there is no occasion
for mud throwing. If Democrats can-
not win on the merit and soundness of
the policies which they support, victo-
ry will be without credit or satisfac-
tion. Defeat in the advocacy of right
brings no dishonor and leaves behind
no sting.”

The great strike is broken. Presi-
dent Cleveland's prompt action and
the unmistakable tone of his two proc-
lamations, had the effect to put a
check upon the anarchistic mob of
strikers,
ems if i———
A NUMBER of strikers have already
been before the U. 8. Court, and are
now salted for short terms in prison.
Coxey learned that it was best to
“keep off the grass,” and the Debs an-
archists are learning that it is best
now not to fool with Uncle Sam.
Some of those villains deserve long
terms at hard labor.

WHERE IT BELONGS,
The Democratic platform adopted
by the state convention at Harrisburg
expresses the situation in a nutshell
and places the responsibility for the
financial and business depression right
where it belongs—on the Republican
party—when it says: ‘“The derange-
ment of business, the disturbances be-
tween labor and capital, the reduction
of wages, the unequal distribution of
profits in economic operations and the
gross disparity in social conditions
which have resulted from the opera-
tion of Republican laws will continue
#0 long as these laws are not repealed.
The McKinley tariff’ bill is in full force
and operation. The enactment of
that tariff in 1890 impaired interna-
tional exchange of commodities and
reduced revenues arising from duties,
which, with vastly increased expenses
through improvident appropriations
anticipating future revenues led to a
deficit in the income necessary to the
support of the government. Demo-
cratic administration left $103,000,000
surplus in the treasury. A Republi-
can successor in four years, converted
this to a defleit of $30,000,000,
"These are facts and cannot be denied.
Let voters ponder over them and vote
accordingly.
——
CouNTY AUDITOR CARR, of Lacka-
wanna, was guilty of some crooked ac-
tion in regard to election tickets. His
case was before the Bupreme Court
last week, and Judge Dean set Auditor
Carr straight. Even auditors can’t do
as they please, as they sometimes
think, and are in danger of being
brought to justice for going ahead of
the law.
nt fs ff it
TO INVESTIGATE THE STRIKE,
The proposed action of President
Cleveland under the law of 1888 is spo-
ken of as an arbitration, but it is clear
from the provisions of the law that
ivuigaion, The. ow’ a is one of

ining the causes of the controversy,
the conditions accompanying and the
which examination shall be
ately reported to the President and
Congress, and on the rendering of such
report the services of the commission
shall cease.”
There is nothing in the nature of an
arbitration here, but such an investi-
gation may perform service of great
value by making an official and au-
thoritative statement of the facts in
the case, which will clear the way for
a settlement of the dispute. President
Debs now declares that such an inves-
tigation will be perfectly satisfactory
dered. The question immediately oc-
curs why then did not the A. R. U.
invoke the power of the President to
make the investigation before ordering
such a senseless strike, If the demand
had been made it would have doubt-
less been granted, since Cleveland is
on record as an advocate of the settle
ment of labor troubles by arbitration.
Had the demand been refused the A.
R. U. would have been able to plead
some justification tor its course,

of the
untaught in this important matter,
The lesson of the disastrous strike
which has just ended Is, therefore,
most obvious. There must be a revi-
val of education in American citizen-
ship. It is not consistent to denounce
even riotous strikers for the folly of ig-
norance when no proper provision has
been made for their education in the
thing they most need to understand.
Our whole educational system, from
the common school to the highest uni-
versity in the land, is at fault in this
respect, and if the collapsed Debs boy-
cott shall have the effect to work a
necessary revolution in this matter, it
will have proven a blessing in dis-
guise, after all.—Philadelphia Zimes.
Says The Baltimore Sun: ‘There
were no strikes like these in the entire
democratic ante-bellum period. Low
tariffs never bred failures by the thou-
sand, turned myriads of honest labor-
ing men into tramps and drove other
myriads of them into desperate and
lawless uprisings. Nor should it be
overlooked that every one of these
colossal labor revolts has occurred in

are said to be most signally benefited

costly or that it should be enforced by
bullet and bayonet. Had the
lenders and their followers known any-
thing of the Constitution and laws of
the country they could hardly have
been guilty of the folly of engaging in
a conflict in which they occupied a po-
sition little short af treasonable. The
executive power of the government in
enforcing the laws and restoring order
has shown these men how near to the
verge of treason they have been tread-
ing, but they should have known it
before the strike as well as after, and
the systemn which clothes men with
the power of citizenship without the
intelligence required for the proper un-
derstanding of the duties of citizen
ship, is seriously at fault.
It is the common observation of men
who have lived to exercise the duties
of American citizenship for a half cen-
tury that the average intelligence of
the American people in regard to the
principles of our American system of
government is lower than it was fifty
years ago. The colleges and schools of
the country have brought the people
many things, but not the essential
thing upon which every American
citizen should be well posted. Hence
it is that men get elected to Congress
and to the State Legislatures who in-
troduce and advocate all sorts of legis
latures who introduce and advocate all
sorts of legislative measures, which if
enacted, the courts are compelled to
declare null and void because contra
ry to the fundamental law upon which
our entire system of law rests,
Part of this ignorance is due to the
influx of naturalized foreigners, who
now compose an important part of our
working population and our eitizen-
ship as well. These aliens knew noth-
ing of American law when they came
and our easy system of naturalization
has not required them to learn any-
thing about it since. But the igno-
rance does not stop at the line which
divides the naturalized from the na
tive citizen. There are thousands of
men in whose veins not a drop of alien
blood flows whose ideas of the Ameri-
can Constitution and the powers and
limitations of the State and Federal
Governments are of the haziest order.

THE recent strike has ended like all
former strikes, in a defeat of the strik-
ers, a loss of wages, a loss of situations
for many, useless destruction of prop-
erty, expense to the government, aud
a disturbance of the business of the
country, saying nothing of the lives
lost and persons maimed. All future
strikes, should there be more, will end

take these statistics as we find them,

In the manufactures that are protect-

was destroyed by fire Monday after-
noon. Some sawed lumber piled near
the mill was also burned. The mill is
situated about three miles east of the
borough of Loganton. The citizens re-

the destruction of all the lumber in the

A Double Afiction,
When John F. Potter, Esq., of Miles-
burg returned home last Satuaday af-
ter a fruitless search to discover if the
body of the yeung man found dead in
the Potter county woods, was his son,
he was apprised of the death of a sev-

died that day. Mr. Potter will have
the sympathy of all friends and neigh-
bors in this his double afiction.
