X2S3E7QK3 ThaCarbon Advocate T.EUIUHTON. PA.. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 18SS. KTUUI ATTJIR MtlllOIITON POSr-OFFICK AH SECOND CLASS MAIL NAT-TICK. ThkNbwYoiik Star of a late datb In srgillug tbo point of what really const I totes the ran materials SAys: '.'When we get more deeply Into the com plexities of manufacturing, the trouble be glna. Ilere at once the conflict of views and Interests becomes hopeless, Irreconcil able. One factory supplies the raw mater ial of another. The tanner furnishes the raw material for the saddler and shoemak er. The yarn mills supply the cotton and woolen mills. The manufacturer of Iron supplies the manufacturer of steel with raw material, and the latter supplies the cutter, the machinist and a dozen other great branches of 'manufacturing. So one could go on citing examples without limit, showing that "raw material" Includes two- thirds In volume and valuo of all the articles manufactured. Kach manufacturer, while anxious for the highest duty on his own special product, is no less eager for the re duction or removal of duty from the mater ials which enter into it. The manufacture t r of steel car wheels would like to exclude Krupp's wheels, for example, from the market, but be would like no less well to buy Krupp's blooms duty off. Following this out in all Us details, wo find that every tariff scheme must of necessity be ono of colossal selfishness. Manufacturers have to yield the point to each other. So tliev conspire to recoup themselves by robbing the people at large in intelligent concert." WE A1IE WI YE,BB'F.nJlAI.I.OY,KVEHY tlme. About two weeks before the con vening of Congress a number of the leading Democrats of tlio country assembled in TKashlngton, and along with the president, agreed upon a plan of revenue reform, that embraced reductlons'on all articles thatim mediately affect the living of the poor. Congress has been In session almost two months and up to date no such bill hearing legitimately on revenno reform has been presented. The question now arises, what has become of it? The effect upon trado Is deleterious, the constant agitation of so important a subject is deadening to com. merclal activity; business men are placed In feverish suspense and generally the masses bocome the sufferers of Obstinate hesitancy on the part of congressional representatives. A careful and systematic reform of the tariff, and a reduction or re' moval of internal reyenucs would at once reduce the surplus; the business interests of the country would bo Invigorated and s healthy activity take the place of the fever Uh suspense that now controls the work- in?! of the business interests of the entire country. Let the tariff rates be reformed, 19 STMKXS US THAT IH AH ELECTION, the sticker is a winning trump. IS 8PEAKINO OF CoNORESSIONAL TOS' sibllitles our Pike county contemporary, the Milford Dispatch, quietly but suggest' Ivelv remarks: "The Pike county candidates have not yet loomed up. By tho way what is being done by the committees appointed in the different counties to meet and arrange the order of succession? Piko has the call and Carbon may be said to stand next in the line of preference. Northampton being newly admitted Into the district will be re quired to be modest and wait until Pike and Carbon have ban their turns; and Uonroo cannot file her claims until North ampton has had a show." iHS BOROUOK COUNCIL NOW STANDS three and three with a Democratic burgess under the new regime a uumber of Import ant and necessary improvements are ex pected by the taxpayers. Care should be exercised in the disposition of matters per taming directly to the interests of the peo pie; mistakes of the past should be avoided so far as is possible. Among the council men are ran of ability and business ca paclty, it is their duty to direct and manage the affairs of the borough. Let there be no dead-lock forget party and serve the people. The endorsement of Hon. Isaac G Gordon, of Jefferson county, by the Re publican members of the bar, in tho several counties, has given that gentleman quite an impetus in the direction of the Supreme Court Judgeship. Judge Gordon is a man of ability and rare Intellectual capacity during the past forteen years he has, byun equivocal decisions, made a reputation with the masses lor honesty. Integrity and faith fulness to the people's interests. Judge Gordon's fourteen years experience pre eminently qualify him for the position, KOSCOI CONKLINQ'S PRESIDENTIAL boom is assuming tangible shape and im mense proportions. Next to Blaine Conk ling is the foremost Republican statesman of to-day; he is a sagacious political leader, a brilliant man In elements that make men great,and there Is no reason why he should not make a powerful candidate, except, perhaps, the fact that the Blaine element might possibly oppose him in order to even up on the 16S-1 campaign. But, regardless of this, Conkling Is a strong roan. ITORTT OR FIFTY COAL AND IRON VO lice are standing guard over the "Scabs' employed in and about the Neiquebouing collieries. This is only one of the many peouliar characteristics ot corporative pow ri who grind and crush the life blood from the masses who ''eat their bread by the sweat of their brow." Money for the police but not a cent for the overworked and underpaid miners who risk life and limb in the pursuit of their labors. AT THE ELECTION IN THIS BOROUGH ON Tuesday there was considerable independ nt voting. We are pleased to note this fact, It clearly testifies that bigoted party Ism It dying ont, slowly but surely, thai politics Is being more Intelligently and cor retly considered, and, finally, that the voters are exercising an individual preroga tiv that portends things of greater import in the future as regards isdependint vot toj. TBS RXAOINO STRIKE It PRACTICALLY yer, There Is no question but what the strike wm Illy advised, a most momentous blunder, In fact, one that will prove a con stint detriment to labor organizations. ft to be hoped that the miners will not ajaln fall Isto such a falsa position.

Jt goes Into wry Oufeon const? town and vlllag and every Vttku tm by over one thousand InUlll (pnt rum and women, Broaillra's New Yor Letter. Special to the Cahuon Adw irr. A year ago last fall I was going up Broad way and a carriage dashed by mo In which there wcro threo men who then and slnco have occupied a great deal of public atten tion. Thoy wcro Henry George, Mr. Pow dcrly and Dr. Edward McGlynn. Mr.Pow derly had coruo on to Now York !o give his friend Henry George a lift at the coming election. Though ono was a Free Trader and the other a Protectionist, though ono believed in barring the national doors against unrestricted Immigration, and tho other believed In opening our portals wide to welcome all tho nations of tho earth, for the time being all minor differences were sunk for tho purpose of demonstrating tho power of Labor as a factor in our na tional politics. The whole Stato was In a violent fever, for It was publicly announced that the author of "Progress and Poverty," borno on tho shoulders of tho worklngmen to tho Chief Magistrate's chair of the city, would soon find his way to the cnpltol at Albany, and everybody knows It Is but a step from thero to the White House. On that day the three gentlemen named above weio fast friends, looking towards a grand consolidation of all the working elements and the formation of a great national par ty. Anti-Poverty was started as a sort of religious political annex. Everybody was going to be employed; every fellow was going to get everything ho wanted. The mlllcnlum would not bo very far off afterAntl-Poverty got In Its fine work. And to show how the gcspel of Anti-Poverty was to bo given to tlie children of toll, without money and without price, they hired tho most expensive house In tho city at $150 a night, and commenced the new crusade at ten cents, twenty-fivo cents, fifty cents and one dollar a head, and final ly they tumbled to tho low dodge of the theatres, and hawkers on the sidewalk sold tickets at a premium, tho profits of which were divided with tho box-office. The trinity that rode down Broadway on that election mission, which was to revolution Izo the world, are divided now; from tills time forth their paths diverge. Dr. Mc Glynn intimates that Powderly was noth' ing better than a paual puppet, and Pow dely saye without hesitation that Dr. Mo Glynn Is a liar. Henry George and Mc Glynn parted company some tluia ago, and now Dr. McUlynn and ttenry George aro at outs. "The play Is ended, and these tlio players were as JL tola you spirits, anil are melted Into air, thin air, and like an unsubstantial pageant railed, leaves not a wrack ueuiuii." The hopes of tho two have melted away. Tho tax on land, that was going to be a panacea 'for every 111 Is now regarded as a delusion and a snare; Anti-Poverty, the dream of fools; United Labor, Utopia, as long as grass grows and water runs and men aro what they aro, Henry George, that men roared themselves hoarse for few months ago, now passes through out- streets unnoticed. Dr. McGlymi, whose name shook the State ill Oc'obcr, in Feb ruary requests his followers to disband, to humbly return to their allegiance with the Church of Rome, while he puisnes his solitary pathway alone. Last week might be called tho culmination of his contumacy, for besides his usual bitter abuse of the Pope, he Intimated that if he were perse cuted any further he would make some revelations of the doings of the churcli that wouldthakc it from turret to foundation stone. What did he mean by that? Did ho mean that the church was given to un lawful practices, that he would hide it not if they annoyed him any further? If these are Dr. McGlynn') principles, it strikes me they are exceedingly poor ones. The plain facts appear to be that tho man Is daft; a little ephemeral success, much fool ish adulation and enormous vanity have addlod his brains, till at last ho finds the whole world wrong and Dr. Edward Mc Glynn right. Ho acknowledges no trlbun al, ho will submit to no authority; In-short ho wants to make a Pope of himself, with this difference, that the Roman Pontiff, great as his power is, has certain llmlta tions and restrictions bevoud which he dare not go;Dr. McGlynn has none. In a short time ha will uass from further public con sideration and be unnoticed even by the newsboys In the street, and if pointed out at all, it will bo as a man who attempted much and accomplished nothing save his own religious and social ruin. Mr. Powderly, tho third of the trio, is a physical and mental wreck, stricken down in tho house of his friends, maligned and blackened by tho men for whom he has sacrificed the very best years of his life. and whose conservative course lias given tho Knights of Labor whatever considera tion they enjoy at the present time. Ills enemies may succeed in hunting him to his death, but woe unto him who succeeds him. Our sister Brooklyn is having another lively religious ruction which, before it gets through may Involve one-half of tho Methodist churches In tho district. The H'asblngton St. Methodist Episcopal church was presided over by the Rev. Mr, MUlen, who on Investigation turned out to be a very unsavory character. The case was brought to a focus by his behavior to to a respectable lady of his congregation, She very properly informed her husband and In a very short time there was red hot war In the church. The congregation was split in two. One-half defended the pas tor, who they declared, was worthy of canonization, and vowed that the woman who would asperse so saintly a man was nothing better than a dirty huzzy. Th rival faction sworo by the Four Evangelists that such a case of moral turpItuJe and spiritual defalcation was never hcaid of in history, religious or profane, tinea Judas betrayed his Master. Old friends became bitter enemies, households wero divided Christian brothers, deaf and blind to the gospel of peace, punched each others' heads ana called each other names which do not look well In cold prlrt, and sound most of fensively when tintanabulatoJ on tho of the ear. Brother Frank E. Parshley, a mighty pillar of the church, undertook the prose cution of the delinquent pastor. It is not necessary to go into the unsavory details, Tho Rev. M. Mlllen was disgracefully kicked out. The trial lasted several weeks and the procuring of witnesses from abroad who were Inculpated with the ministor, cost a great deal of money, all of which was put up by Brother Parshley, and .jiow he appeals to the Methodists of Brookly to help to pay the she-'. While the follow ers of Mr. Mlllen say, Don't give him cent, he has brought scandal on the church, Mr. Parshley says be ought to be paid for purifying it. Parshley did good work. He was only the prosecutor, but the judge and the Jury were Mr. Millen'sfellow-mlnlsters it Is barely possible that these gentlemen have the Interest and honor of the Metl odlst church quite as much ac heart as any of Mr. Mlllen's friends. Their judgment found him gnlltyand their judgment cMiblm out. It may b tbat Brother Parshley may bar to stand tho thot, but he may ronsn! himself with the reflection that whllo hit accouut at tho Brooklyn Savings Bank may bo depleted several dollars, his hunting out of tho grand old Methodist church a spiri tual wolf, In metaphorical sheep's clothing, has deposited for him treasures In that bank whero tho moth doth not cosurae nor thieves break in and steal. It Is not safo for any man to make Inyo to two slstcis at the same, time, and that Mr. Willis, n tatented lawyer of Brooklyn, has discovered, as ho finds himself Involved In breach of promlso suit for $50,000, and as yet only one of tho sisters has put in a claim, and as it Is morally certain that he can only legally many ono of them, wli.it tho other wiU'demand Is yet an unknown quanilty. There wcro two lovely sisters, Mlllto and Tllllc, ot a rural watering place In Penn sylvania. The darlings had passed the callow ago which marks immaturity and inexperience; ono being thirty-six and tho other thirty-seven. The waist belt of ono was thirty-nine and three-quarter Inches, and the other recorded forty-two and a half. Mr. Willis took moonlight walks with both; ho sang duct: with each, and whatever his Intentions wero lo Mlllte there is now no mistake that Tllllc thought thoy wcreV.' .for her. If ho wrote to Tllllc, by some evil mlschanco Millie got the letter, and wnen he Indited a loving epistle to Mllllo It invariably fell Into Tllllo's hands. In ono ot his Itnatory messages ho calls her his "sweet little blrdle.'t Now, that uilght bo all very well to a girl just out of her teens, but to a woman of forty who tips the scalo at a trifle over two hundred, it's an awfully strained flguro of speech. To Millie ho wrltcs"my gcntlo little duck," and It never seems to havo occurred to him that he was making himself a goose. If Millie gets $50,000, which I hone she will, as balm for her wounded heart, I hope Tllllo will go in at least for $100,000, and thus teach this unscrupulous lawyer that ho cannot with Impunity toy with a young maiden's affections if she Is thirty-eight or even forty. Sweet little birdies don't fly on every huckleberry bush, and darling duckies don't swim In every fellow's duck pond. Tho next time Mr. Willis gos gun ning for that kind of gamo ho will know better than to try and bring down two at a time. Taino was right In his history of English literature. Tho ancient sayagc has left a taint in our blood that time, cannot eradi cate. The walking match which promised to be a fizzle turned out a genuine surprise, Tho smashing of the record made Alberf. for a few hours the biggest man In tiic city. Tho way tho thousands screamed and shouted for him was like the plaudits for a nation's savior. It ended In a earn! yal of gamblers, thieves and harlots, and so passes to the spotting record the history of the greatest performance on foot ever attempted by mortal man. BROADBRIM, OUR PHILADELPHIA LETTER Philadelphia Pa., Feb. 22, '8S The large building at the corner of Broad and Chestnut streets, are being torn down making way for a larger and more modern building. Since these operations havo com menced It Is no unusual thing to sec from fifty to two hundred and fifty men, scantily clad, cluster around the corner in tho bleak cold mornings srlth tho hopo of securing : job, menial laboring work, at $1.25 pcrday They are strong, hearty men, willing to do any kind of work, In order to keep body and soul together; time and again they arc turned away with "We have all tho men we can possibly use." This Is enacted not only at this corner but all oyer the city, aye, all over the coun'ry. Yet In view of all this cvldcnco there arc sage men, erudite editors, possessing more erudition than wisdom and interest In the amelioration of their fellow men, and so-called wise states men, who declaro that there is nothing wrong with our Industrial, econondc and social system and condition; tbat he who wants to work can get- employment In abundance; and such as arc not Incapaci tated either by disease or physical cause to work aro bummers, too lazy to work, dcru agogues, mendicants, &C. Theso asser tions arc made, as the evidence to the con trary proves, in bo'd defiance pf the real condition of the many suffering and povcr Ishlng human beings created by the Cre ator of all for want of employment. This is a sid condition of things; it is a condi tion that must cause reflection, attract at tention and receive the careful considera tion of our rulers, to devise laws and means to obviate such shameful suffering and want In tho midst of plenty, if the even tenor of our national cxlsteuce Is to be maintained and continued. A modern reformer has been dubbed a crank and demagosuo for publicly saying that In tho poverty and want In tho midst of wealth and plenty stalked a belly full of "French Revolt! tlons." But Is not this man, if the tun dency to tho two extremes, wealth and poverty,aro taken into consideration, more of a prophet than a mischief worker. Does not every self-reasoning man recognize that want and hunger have no restraints, that nothing is so bloodtnlrsty and maddening as an empty stomach and suffering depend ents. Did not theso two extremes In France lead on those terrible scenes, so terribly enacted throughout France, during that revolution. Docs not the column of the 14th of July, on the site of the kingly per son "La Baitile" in Paris, commemorating tho work of tho guillotine, admonish al such as have the Interest and welfare of ill at Heart to make common causo to chance that Industrial, economic aud social condition that leads to such horrid and awful cxctesscnces and extremes as are recorded In historical instances. "History repeats Itself," but If nrudeuce, wisdom aud tho mora equitable distribution of wealth is arranged by the, men who rule not In accordance with anarchistic or com munistic theories but according to equality of opportunity or natural opportunity, no such repetition will be necessary to right wrong. God forbid such a repetition. Accoic'lng to soruo New York professor' ideas, isiainc'8 loiter uon't present my name Is a cryptogram. According to thl calculation Jingo Jimmy does not mean what his letter would convey, but lns'ead means "State to the masses, election with out me disastrous," or state to tbo Repub licans of the country "That my name will be presented," &c. This no doubt is Blaine's and bis friends Idea but they may have reckoned without their host, for If the Republican party is wise It will take the matchless and peerless statesman of Maine at his word. He is a weak man and as ajalnst Cleveland or any other Democrat bo aould be nowhere. His party desires nothing so much as success, and not being able to attain It with the "Plumed Knight' they will haye some other emergency man notwithstanding the cryptogram, The congressional committee examining Into the cause of the Reading railroad and miners strike has been holding sessions during the week at tbo Continental Hotel, Tba examination so far has proved a good deal of the rottenness of this corporation, tho manner in which it pilfers the public and circumvents tho law. It has been I demonstrated that there 'are grievances on tho part of the employees ogalnst tho c n- pany and that theso grievances destiye to be rectified as a matter of common justice to all concerned. If this committee suc ceeds by Its Investigation, as Chairman Tillman declared tho purpose, of having Congress enact a law protecting the con sumers of coal from tho Injustice and rob bery, the form of cxhorhltant prices exact ed by the combination controlling the coal upply It will havo accomplished a great and good thing, deserving tho.thanks and gratitude of n pilfered public. Is It any wonder that there Is a demand for remedial legislation when tbo f act Is recognized that coal In Philadelphia Is sold at $0 and $7 per ton and that It can bo mined, trans ported and go through tho different hands with a profit, to all concerned for at the most $3.15 per ton. This -vas demonstrat ed by statistics and comparisons with pres ent, past and future by John Norns, one of the ablest statisticians in tho country. Tho examination is a healthy thing and before jt Is ended the work and publicity as to wiongs accomplished will havo a salu tary effect, especially in opening the eyes of a too confiding public to tho manv wrongs committed in its namo and by its authorlt. The facts laid before the public will cause much thinking and ou of it ac tion will spring. This is what Is wanted, It will drlvo monopoly to the wall finally. The municipal or city contest of Tuesday was a tame affair with the exception of the factional contests amongst the Democrats In the 2nd and 4th ward and tho Leeds McManes fight in the 20th ward. J. T. Thompson, Republican, was elected magis trate by about 1100 The groat contest took place in tho 4th ward between Ran dall's friend, McMulhn, and the anti-Randall candidate Richard Hazard. In this bailiwick the fight was intense.moro severe than any fight of any moment that took place in years. The battlo was so shaped that it did not Involve municipal signifi cance merely but It was magnified into an issue far beyond this. Tho purpose was to defeat McMullln and thereby crystalize a nucleus around which to form an opposl tion to Samuel Randall's rc-elcctlon to Congress next fall. The primary fight having miscarried will virtually kill any such movement, That is, Randall is not only sure of a re-nomlnat!on, but assured pf a re-election. It Is well that this is so, It Is estimated, and no doubt true, that it cast either side at least $10,000 to wage the contest that was waged. When it is taken Into consideration that no salary Is attached to that of councilman this seems appalling, But then this might not havo been neces sary if it had not been tbat some pseudo patriots took It into their heads, through McMullln, to pismire Randall to political death. But Samuel will not down at the bid of a great many people ;he always comes up serene, ami as i said uerore, the Demo cratlc party will continue to have his valu able services upon the floor of Congress for two years mora from March 4. 18S0. Much the same kind of a fight was waged in the JStn ward when James ilagan, the Kamlali candidate, beat both the Republican and anti-Randall Democratic caudldate, Me- Glcncy. The significance of these contests is simply do not fool with a loaded gun From WasMnron: News Notes. Special to tho, Camion Advocate. WA8HINOtonD. C, Feb. 13th. 1888' Mr.. Editor: The thousands of post masters throughout the country, who wet e notified by tha Post Office Department a year ago that tho pending claims for .the readjustment of their salaries, had been allowed, hut could not be paid until Con grcss should maKo the necessary appro priation, will be pleased to learn that the claims will very.soon be paid. An Item In mo ueneral Deficiency Bill which was passed on Friday last, and now awaits the President's signature, provides an appro priation of $40,000 for the payment of these claims, and the checks have been made out and will be forwarded to the claimants as soon as the bill is passed; which will probably be within a very few Uas. It will be remembered that In 1881 Congress passed a bill providing that all post-masters below the second grade who held olllce between the dates of July 1st 1804 and July 1st 1874, should bn paid, sum equal to 10 per cent, of their salaries; for such time as they actually served. With tho commencement of Lent, the sochl season has practically closed. The last of the public receptions at the White House was held on Tuesday evening and the attendance was so great that many were unable to gain admission to the build ing. Blaine's letter declining to allow his name to be presented at the Chicago con vention has created a decided sensation among tho political parties, and has been the all absorbing topic of discussion. Sev eral names have been mentioned as that of tho probablo nominee of the Republican party, and if one may judge from present uiuicaiions, either senator buerman or Goneral Sheridan will be the coming man Since the name of Gen. Sheridan has been presented, the question as to his nativity is attracting considerable attention and one-half of tho rumors regarding his birth place can bo relied upon, It can be truly said that he "was born at more places and to a greater extent than any other eminent man known to history." The General himself is authority for the statement that he was born in Albany, N. Y. His mother asserts that he was born In Sumerset County Ohio, while his cousin Is as positive that he was horn In Ireland. It is safe to assume that his birth-place was one of the three place mentioned, but which of the Generals relatives Is correct In regard to tho precise locality, Is a question which will have to be settled before the republican convention takes up bis name for considera tion. i ne uiyii-oervice commissioners are likely to proceed very slowly in tbo matter of public Investigations In tho future. The President's dlsaproval of the rule submlted to him by the commission requiring requir ing reasous for removals takes a very large plank from under the feet of the com mlssloners. The law elves them no author, Ity to punish those who disregard it, and now that the President decides tbat the appointing power is not required to give the commission reasous for official acts effecting employees within the civil service, the commissioners are loth to waste their time on investigations tbat can haye no results. Every mall brings charges against some officer of the government, but tbev can all be settled by correspondence without going to the expense of a publio Inquiry. Commissioners Oberly and Lyman are In clined toward public Investigations ot at least the grayer charges prefered. Corn mlssiouer Edgerton, however, has been dis inclined to join bis colleagues In these affairs. Ee holds that the Tight of remoyal naturally goes hind in hind with the pow. er to appolrt, and thtt therefore the coir, mission bis no authority whatever to dt aaad the reasons for diimuals. In h't opinion the labor of tho commission Is done when through l' machinery It furnishes 1 au appointing officer with a certification of four cllglbles from which to select a rc- quired clerk. Ho does not consider that tho commission Is called upon to tako care 1 of those appointed from Its list ot ellglbles ' through all time. Commissioner Edgcrton's views on this subject have practically been Indorsed by tho President, and they arc, there therefore, likely to gtitdo tho actions of tho commission In tho futuro so far as Investigations aro concerned.
