Both factions viewed each with distrust. No offer was made to other in- struct delegates, neither side feeling sure | it would come out catbird. Sothey acted upon the principle of the two boys that threatened to fight, led them to "harmon me alone, you." fear “you let darn when mutual ize'’ thus, an’ I'll let you alone, - THE republican county convention was a painfully “harmonious’ affair.

Tag trouble in the coal region arises by having at its bottom the gigantic coal Trust that has been reising the price of coal upon consumers, the same 28 the beef Trust has in the past two months, Then the coal lords are not treating their miners right in that they do not aliow them wages according to the amount of work dome. This latter cause has been the source of strikes for many years, and has led the mine work. ers to follow the example of the coal lords, and organize a miners’, or labor- ers’ Trust, lo contsol the price of labor in the mines. What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander, But the coal Trust kicks because the miners have organized this kind of Trust for their own protection against the wrongs of the Coal Trust. Ifit is right for the coal lords to form a trust to put up the price of coal, is it not equally right for the miners to form a trust to put up the price of wages for work in the mines ? | the Salter case { is not a pleasant { licans inthe state at large threaten to | revolt against This is a black eye for Stone, | of Philadelphia schools by ticians, the Ledger says: of the polis The verdict in | and the exposures at.

Several influential republi- | can papers reflect this sentiment. The Lancaster New Fra says: "The outcome of the trial reveals a situation of affairs alarming alike to the administration of justice in the chief city of the state and through the ramification of the same in- fluence in our legislative halls, to the stale at large.” The Lancaster Exam- iner is still more severe, and says *‘the people are trembling in apprehension and, perhaps, in sullen anger.” ——rp their colleagues of Oxgt queer circumstance stands out in connection with the republican conven. tion held here on Monday. It will be re- membered in the convention held here one year ago, the leaders in town came to an understanding, for the sake of “har. mony" between the factions, to agree up- on delegates representing the two wings in state convention. To this John Ham- ilton made objections and let loose wildly denying the right of any set to make binding upon the convention a pre. arranged ‘harmony’ game, This week again a “harmony” scheme was pre. arranged, and strange to tell the John Hamiltonians stultified themseives by agreeing to what they denounced just one year ago.

There would have been no ripper legislation destroying the rights of citizens, no franchise grabs; and Quayism, which has be. come a disgrace to the state and & re- proach to the nation, would have re- colved its death blow, If there are not enough honest Democrats In every county of the state to select candidates who will not sell their souls for the money or the favors of the enemy, there are certainly enough of them to join with the Republicans to defeat the rascals who are nominated. Better elect a good Republican or even a bad Republican than a crooked Democrat, whose vote like some of those at the last session, will be in the open market | for the highest bidder. Every honest Democrat owes it to himself, to his country and to the state to see to it that no man who has once played the party false is again nominated for the legislature, and that no one be named who may not be safely trusted not to perjure himself, at least.
