The "Broadbrim" letters are sufficient to repay tho Investment of one dollar, to say nothing about tho other excellent reading. The manlfes'oes Issued by President Corbln and tho strikers Is becoming a little monotonous; neither sido seems willing to submit.

We were Informed that a financo coinj mittce of the K. of L., called on one of your Lehlghton merchants for a contri bution In aid of the strikers, and because they were refused, they Intimated that he would bo sorry In other words they threat ened a boycot'.

Klsncr,rcccntly elected Chairman of the Democratic Stato CommU'ec, opened tho headquarters of the committee iu Har- risburg, Tuesday. The practice has been to hayo the head of tho party organisation in Philadelphia, but Mr. Eisner proposes to introduce nn innovation by making the State capital the centre of political work. ne justifies this on tho ground that Har rlsburg Is more central than Philadelphia. Mr. Eisner proposes to enter upon the work of the campaign at once. In fact he was busy all day mailing circulars to all parts ot the Slate, asking for the co-operation of the local workers In tbe work of party organization, He proposes to have all the preliminary work of the canvass, such as tho preparing of lists of voters, performed before the nominating conventions have met, so that tho moment the tickets are In tho field he will be ready for the heavy work of the canvass. Eisner is determined to test tho rel.ulve strength of the parties in this State.
