OwiNG to political disturbances in Colombia, it is possible that that govern- ment may not ratify the Pasama Canal treaty with this country and thus this great eaieTpise will again be thwarted s——— Sm THE labor situation in New York city is admittedly critical. The the building trades involves 100,000 MEANING OF STRIKES. STRIKES among the carpenters, brick- layers, fire brick hands, and half dozen other industries, in all parts of the coun- try, more full of danger to business in. terests than the late anthracite coal strike, are high on the business horizon, and more than a hundred million dollars in capital is halted that was intended for building operations. There is some: thing wrong. This discontent and these disturbances, ever growing, bode evil for the country. There are causes and un. til these causes are removed, there will be noend 10 these troubles, and the country will, later, fall into evil times, and the remedy for same be proposed only when irreperable injury has been done, Capital is centering ail business in the hands of the few, creat- ing trusts that are wiping out the smaller industries, and by the power of the al mighty dollar grinding the masses to the edge where endurance will cease to be a virtue. Laboring men see that their earnings go to build up millions for the few while the many are suffering, and beginning to mutter, that wages are not on a scale to match the extortions of trust capital, and this condition of affairs is breeding discontent ing strikes. The policy of the govern ment has been shaped to raise millions sooner or and the increas. for the millionaires and the left to struggle in there is something wrong, masses are poverty. We say the wrong is can be seen with half an eve.

REPUBLICANS declare that the tariff should not be revised during a period of prosperity; they said it was a terrible mistake to touch the tariff because busi ness was 30 depressed. There is no time when the republicans think the tariff ought to be reduced and they think any time is a good one for raising duties if the people will stand it, In Schuylkill county too, they are after the rascals. The other day the Grand Jury indicted Nicholas Murray, James Boyle, Daniel Gallagher, John Donohue and Richard McGee, School Directors of Blythe, for the alleged ac ceptance of bribes from school teachers in their employ. James Hughes, an al. leged go-between, was indicted for con- spiracy with the directors. Thirty two citizens were also indicted for fraudulent voting. Tux republicans will hold their prim: ary elections this coming Saturday and the conventiom om Tuesday. There is little disturbance along the lines, For delegates to the State Convention only two names have been heard, Ell Town. send, of Philipsburg, and T. H. Harter, editor of the Gazette.
