Thk action of the New Yobk State
supreme court In reversing the decision of
the lower court in tho case of Jacob Sharp,
the arch boodler, makes It highly probable
that that individual will elude Justice at

Is ta be severely condemned In tkus openly
favoring the committal of crime.
Moral demiavity bkems to be on toe
Increase in this county. Not low? since an
East Maucn Chunk woman was persuaded
to rid herself of a child by throwing it In
an outhouso and on Saturday last another
woman in the same locality was prevailed
upon to dispose of an Illegitimate offspring
by throwing it Into the river at that place.
Prompt and effective measures should be

Joiiann Most, the fiery anahcuist,
of New York City, was found guilty Tues
day, of treasonable utterances, and will be
givou sufficient time to meditate on the
folly of his ways by Imprisonment at hard
labor for the next year. The conviction of
Most was not a question of free speech.but
whether the anarchist should have the

tho peace of ourcountr or not. liy loo

that It Is tha "or not."
On Monday next commences a great
struggle, ono that will in a measure decide
the result of the presidential election next
year. Owing to tho present heavy, onerous
and oppressive tariff rates, millions of dol
lars are annually accumulating in the
treasury vaults, much to the detriment of
public good. The Democratic party has
pledged Itself to reform the tariff abuses
they must do it, or even with Cleveland
experience defeat in 1838. The platform
of reform is plain, simple and urgent: Ito
duae tho taxes on all articles that affect
tfce Hying ot the common people.
A SORDINO TO THE DECISION OF JliDOE
Woodward, In the courts at Wilkesharre
last Saturday, thn coal barons of the I.e
UsU region cannot legally dispossess their
striking tenants. This is a victory for the
miners, oyer the coal barons, that brings
lntlau rejoicing to the oppressed workers I
that section. It shows. also, that the courts
of Luxerne have a president judge, whose
heart and sympathies go out to a common
humanity In the cause of justico and right,
In Judge Woodward, tha common pcopl
of Luzerne have a staunch supporter, one
from whom men vested with greater pow
ers aould well, take lessons.
TUE ENTERPRISING MERCHANTS ALONO
Hook stieet, in this borough, will hay
their vatlous business places Illuminated
with electricity in the course of a few weeks,
This is another step onward and upward
by the progressive citizens of Lehlghton
and one which will result In much good to
both town and people. It would not be
unwise If the town council would take such
aetlon as to abolish the old coal oil lamps
and. have the various streets illuminated by
tho new system; as to the cost there would
be uo material difference, whilst the better
light would be mora fully appreciated by
all. Let the council act on this matter at
once.
By the coNViqnoN of Herb Most
American justice makes another martyr for
for the anarchists. Most has alwajs been
a blatant blackguard, a lawless character
who was Imprisoned for treason in Austria
In 1809 was convicted of the same offence
In 1870 and again imprisoned, but was par
doned after serving ono year; In 1872 ha
delivered an incendiary speech' In Berlin
and was again imprisoned for one year;
again in 1S74 he was convicted for revolu
tionary language in fayor of tljo commune
and placed in durance vile for eighteen
months; in 1377 he was convicted of tla.
phemy and again in 1881 be was imprisoned
for applauding the asiasslnatlon of thn
Czar. His career while In this country has
not been of the best, while his actions en
foreign shores prove that he has always
been a troublesome element to society.
Let justice prevail.
IW UPEAKINQ OP A LATE RAISE IN THE
ptlse of soal the New York Herald says:
Of all forms of commercial diabolism that
which filches the hard earnings of the paer
man to enrich itself is the'most contempti
ble. The price of coal nas gone up. The
whole continent is full of It, and It can be
cheaply mined almost anywhere and in al
m6st any quantity. Still, the coal barons
or, Is coal fiends the better phrase?
have made a "combine," and play into
each other's hands at this cutthroat game.
When fuel is most needed and you must
eliher haye it or freeze to death you are
simply at the mercy of these men, who
coolly swell their own bank accounts by
practically plckingthe pocket of even man
In the country. Well, those who are rich
do not feel it. It makes no difference to
them whether coal costs five or seven dol
lars a ton. Those who are In moderate
circumstances do feel It, however. The
extra out-go means longer hours of work,
or that the children must be clothed more
scantily br perhaps taken from school. It
Is a disgrace to our civilization that wage,
earners should be squeezed and robbed in
this way. Hut when you look Into the
tenement houses of a great city like New
York your indignation blazes up and you
get mad all through. These poor folks
never owned a whgle tou of coal. They
buy it by the neck or bushel or hodful, and
are compelled to pay for It at tho rate of
about twelve dollars. That is where the
rub comes. If you did hut know ft, gen
tlemen, it Is that species of oppression that
makes Anarchists. Who can help kicking
against a palpable outrage of that kind or
denouncing a form of society which toler
ates it or sneering at the Christianity which
ignores.or apologies (or It?

Ont of tha principal points of attraction" and

Is tha tl. 3. Mint, the hard money manufac

possesses tha finest and most complete collec
tion ot all coins of all nations snd ages in the
cabinet attached. The working of this Impor
tant aeverntnent functuary Is uiatnlr sglentlnc
and mechanical. The departments, so speaK-
Inz, are tha clerical, coining, assaying and melt-
Ing and refining. Tlie sclenting worn penaius

flno metals sncb as gold and sllrer and tor minor
coins, nickel and copper Is used; tha gold and

cesses tba fineness and value of tha metal! is
ascertained: It Is upon this that the proper ad
Jnitment of tha metals depends so as to bring
Uiem within tha requirements of tha law for
coining purposes . The gold and sliver, which Is
as a rule delivered liy tha express companies,
to the weigh clerk, who, after tha assayer has
determined tha fineness, delivers it to the
melter and refiner, whose duty It is to have it
properly alloyed and melted, cast Into Ingots
and then transferred Into tlia coiners unargc,

purpose by the government designer. Inert are
eight of these presses, with a capacity ot turning
out from eighty to one hundred alid eighty pieces
of money per minute. ry this process many
millions ot dollars have been made and put Into
circulation by Uncle Sum. Tho coins after they
leave the press room are handed over to the ud
Justers, who are the women employes, and nho,
by finely and correctly adjusted scales, assure
the leual weight ot the coin; If a coin Is too
heavy It Is by the adjuster filed down by a tiny

order to koep up with the exhorbitant de

In tha same period ot time. The year endlne
Jnno, 1886, promises to exceed this, for during
tnc montn ot October the unprecedented result
accomplished was as follows! Standard dollars,
2,000.' 00 pieces; dimes, 2,000,000; five cent nickel
pieces, 718,000; cents, 4,178,000; eagles, S2&X.
making an aggregate of 8.927,620 pieces. The
demand for minor coin Is uupioeedented. The
cause for this Is ascribed ,to the national pros
perity so manliest. This minor com Is shipped
Into all sections and towns and cities luthe
United States. The demand Is so grout that
with the night and day shifts working steadily
at tha Mint orders are as a rule not filled for two
months or more. The employes number about
450 men and women; men, 315, and women 135,

slderatlon the Importance and vast responsible
ty nttached to these positions, tho pay Is Inade
quate and lnufflclent. Ono thing Is certain, the
government can auord to bo liberal with Its em
ployes, especially In an Institution of this kind,
Much Is involved and much care Is required,
ine gold coinngo is put Into bugs of SJoon.sio.ooo
silver bass contain S100O, and the minor coin Is
bagged In amounts of $5, $10, S20 and S50. The
silver and gold that Is not In clrculat Ion Is stored
into vaults. In the different vaults and cages
pertaining to the Mint at tho present time Is
the tremendous total ot coin And bullion of
about 883,000,000. Tho bulk and weight of this
Is great, (lold is to sllveras about 20 to 1 orstVi
oz. of cold equals $1000, while It takes 59)5 lbs. of
silver to make ?1000. In tho Imudllng of so much
money or articles of value It would seem that
some pilfering and heavy loss would be sus
tained. The contrary of this is true, for It has
only been known ot two cases where any attempt
was made, by any employe, to steal. These
were readily detected and punished. The meth
od of transferring the metals Is by w eight. When
one department gets a certain amount of gold or
silver It Is required to return the weight barrlug
the loss accruing from melting and ware, but
this proportionate loss has been so finely ascer
tained that there Is'bo danger from this source.
In fact the government allows a certalu propor
tion, but to the credit of the employes be It said
that even this allowance has not been wasted
for years. This Is creditable and commendable
for the men. The Sup't of this immensely re
sponsible Institution is tho Ifon. Daniel M, Fox;
u man who In times gone by faithfully and hon
orably served the peoplo In trustworthy positions
to which ho was summoned by them. His ad
ministration ot tha Mint Is strictly scrupulous
and creditable. Under his manngement larger
results with loss expense have been accom
plished than wore ever before attained. This
speaks volumes by way of merit and confidence.
It Is a casu of "well done thou good and faithful
servant." lu addition to Mr. Fox's care and
trust, he has always exercised a kindly und
friendly consideration for the welfare and Inter
est of tho employes. This Is evidenced u his
personal regard for alt of them.and by the clean
liness and improvement made throughout the
building for tbalr comfort. Be has established
dining rooms, additions and conveniences never
before had. Tha responsibility of the Sup't's
position ean readily bo appreciated when It is
recognized that under his Immediate charge ami
cara Is gold and silver of tho value of $80,000,000.
Tha greatness of this amount of money cannot
belmaelned or conceived. The way best to ap
proximate It Is to have the readers of the Advo
cate ta think and loallzo that this sum would,
keep at tho rata of S100 a day more than low)

Broaflbrim's New iort Letter.
Special to the Carbon advocate.
FIvj thousand six hundred complaints, aud all
of them pigeon-holed In the office of the District
Attorney, representing between six und seven
millions of dollars of forfeited ball or bonds that
ought now to be In the city treasury. One can
well understand what a tremendous pow cr this
gives the prosecuting attorney with the criminal
classes. While Indictments were hanging over
the heads of such scoundrels as Illlly Mcdlory,
Theo. Allen and Harry Hill, It Is easy to see how
they would work for the "lection of a man who
could bringdown mln on their heads, or let
them go scot free In consideration of their polltl
cal services. Barney O'Hourke Is a sample poli
tician a itepubllcan ot the Mike Crcgan stripe
who holds the freeman's ballot for all it Is worth.
While money aud offices were plenty, and the
collateral rewards satisfactory, Harney was par
excellence n Itepubllcan; but the day came when
the flesh-pots were not theirs; "when tho sound
of the grinding was low and tho mourners went
about the streets." Barney saw that the wicked
Democrats had all tho available cash niul all
the valuable offices, and his Kepubllcan faith
was shaken. There had been an Indictment
hanging over Barney's which acted as a stlmtf-
lant to his political service, and like many poll.
tlclans of small calibre, he had sufficient pull to
keep the Indictment pigeon-holed lu the office of
tho District Attorney and himself out of the
penitentiary. It Is a great thing to have a null.
Barney's ward was strongly liepubllc;ui, and a
nomlnatlouln that ward was equivalent to an
election, but by hook or by crook It was no uu
common thing for a Democint to pull through If
he happened to be a friend of Barney's. In the
leceut' election the liepubllcans endorsed Do
Umcey Nlcoll but Mr. Fellows came out ot
Barney's ward with a rousing Democratic mat
joitty. evcr be It said hereafter that HenuMI
cans are ungrateful, or that virtue Is not Its own
reward. Three days after the result of the
election had beendeclarcd the Indictment that
had been hanging over Barney's head for years,

District Attorney's pigeon-holes. Among them
can he found the cases of Mother Mandlebaum

question for riymoutli Church If Mr. Berry con
cludes to accept. It seems almost providential,
for It Is pretty safe tosay that there are not ten
men In the United States and lingland put to
gether who could fill Mr. P.eechar's pulpit with
such general acceptance and receive such a
unanimous call as the reverend gentleman they
have selected. Doctor Parker, who preceded
him, came here with a carefully prepared boom
andaflomlshof trumpets; the publlo were led
to believe that they were about to get a new
tevelatlou In preaching. Expectation was nt
wblto heat, but when he appeared the revelattsn
was dispelled; he was not tbe man for Plymouth
Church. So after entertaining generausly, they
bade hhn a polite good-by and turned him over
to Major Pond, who now has him In charuc. Mr.
Beny. on the other hand, came here entirely un
announced, a quiet, modest gentleman who had
not spoken lu Plymouth pulpit an hour when he
had captured all hearts In a manner that led to a
unanimous call last week by Plymouth Church.
Some disappointed carper spoke about his being
nn Englishman. What of It? Plymouth Church
noes not expect him in his pulpit to be English
or Amerlcau, but Chrlstaln, and that he will
be If there ba anything In the Dromise of his
Ufa.
The eleetlon being over the voters and tha de
feated sit down to count tbe cost and gain. The
Democrat have elected tbelr entile ticket, and

uoveruor as If he was In a vice; ho cunnot re

that In the most valuable prerogative which the
Governor possesses, In the hands of the liepub
llcans hr ts helpless as a child. The rictest offi
ces In the State are In the hands of his bitterest
enemies and he ts unable to reward his friends.
Under this restraint the Governor frets and
fumes but to no purpose, for the liepubllcans
hold the cards. In New Yorkthe election of Mr.
Fellows, though carried through by the regular
organizations at a tremendous cost of money
(some say a million of dollars), hasaaused a bit
terness mid pefcetlon which bodies 111 for future
success. The outs are always mora numerous
than the Ins, and the men who have beau ex
pecting ofilce and did not get It ma loud in their
denunciation of tho ring, and all those dissatis
fied elements are gradually crystallilng Into a
new party which may In tbe next election over
whelm both Tammany and the Coanty Demo
cracy. The Labor party which a few months
ngo promised to bo such an Important factor In
our politics. Is practically dcadand notwithstand
ing ephemeral success, they begin to under
stand that all the people want to hnvo a voice in
the government and that they will allow no fac
tion to play the dictator as long as we have a
Itepubllcan form of .government.
Thennaichlsts and socialists have made no
political showing whatever; they have almost
gone out of sight If liot out of sound. The Under
about which there was such a fight n few weeks
ago, Henry George and his coadjutors were run
out of the back door, has collapsed In ruin, and
thl3 week the debris Is sold out , aud the Leader,
which two months ago threatened to shatter the
foundation of tho Republic, Is now In Its grave
remembered only as a warning monument of
the folly of lis founders and the treachery otlts
friends and the lack of Its promised sup
porters.
In Brooklv u. In a vote of over one hundred and
twenty thousand, Mr. Chaplu, the Democratic
candidate for Mayor, pulls through with the
scant mnjoriy of a few hundreds, whllo the Re

one of the most popular Democrats lu tlie city
for thepetofE. c or Sheriff by a majority of near
ly eight thous md. The ties of party hang light
ly on the average Brooklynite. He goes for his
city, he believes In It, ho Is proud of It, ho no
longer regards Brooklyn as Ihe lodging house of
Nework, and ifever annexation lakess place,
which Is not Impossible, he will Insist on the
consolidated city bring called Brooklyn or York-
