In finally deciding to offer a suitable reward for Medala's apprehension the county commissioners have wisely de ferred to a strong public sentiment. ThisBcutiment may bo vain in its hope that the proposition of a ;cuniary prisa will have a teudu.icy to quicken the processes of detection in this in stance. I!ut the fanlt would, in that eYent, fall on the peoplj tlieineeivs, und no ceusure could reasonably at tach to the commissioners. When it is remembered that iu near ly a score of years, with all the crime that has been perpetrated acting as a prod to more determined repressive effort, there has not been a single exe cution in Lackawanna conuly. tho need of yot moro decnive work on tbo part of those charged with law en forcement becomes plain. Much of this growing volume of crimes and misdemeanors originates, no doubt, in the encouragement offered by the large percentage of prior criminals who es oapH with lijrht icntencea or get away altogether. If the offering of a reward vfonld have a tendency to notify the public that bencoforth the law will mean business in the case of foreign born criminals who seek protection among their countryman or got it equally well through the inactivity of some constables, it would be a good lnova whether it resulted directly In the capture of Aiedala or not. While the delay of the commissioners may have been misinterpreted, it is sufficient to kuow that they have now reached B safe position. There was and is no occasion for them to feel ag grieved because the public wanted a reward advertised. The public, in any event, must pay the piper; and it has less fanlt to liud with the commission ers, now that thuy have permitted it to have its way, than it would have had had the original refusal beeu prolonged. The work of tho psace officials in this case has been, for the most part, painir taking and energetic. It has, however, been performed under disadvantages. Now that there is money in locating Medala, perhaps some man in need of money will win it. In that hop, the reward question is loft to solve itself. "Xo man knows," says Mr. Sing rly, philosophically, "how many friends he has until he is named for a public oftic, nor the number of his enemies until tho votes are counted." After all, is such knowledge worth the price? The Lottery Swindle. It need not have surprised anybody to learn from yesterday's Philadelphia Times that the drawings of a celebrated lottery company which annually drains thousands of dollar out of this com munity are regulated with care by tho lottery officials, who place the big prizss where they will do the most ad vertising. This has long been a subject of scspicion. Now it is to all appear ances confirmed in a letter openly written by a New Orleans firm of gen eral lottery agent! to a gentleman in JHiiladelnhia whom it thought to In veigle into acting as its local represen tative upon a commission basil, In tins letter appears tho following significant paragraph : ''We stand iu a position to use our judgment as to where the prizes will do the most good, and wishing to establish a permanent ngency with you, as we are satisfied yon will make us ti competent agent, providing we jive you a good start, therefore have conclude 1 to let you have a prizi in the July drawing of $3,000, this being two-tilths of the sec ond capital prize of 0,000. In order to get the very beat 1 suits from the advartiiment we wish you to sell om-fifth of tbo ticket, which is enclosed in a small envel ope, to some well known promi nent person. and keep the other fifth for yourself. Enclosed you Will find 115 ticket", for which you must remit $100.00 and have the remittance reach us at least three days before tho date of the drawing, otherwise the numbers sent you will to cancelled. Wo are satisfied that with the advertising you will get you certainly will ha able to sell at least from l.UOO to 2.000 tickets monthly, oa which we will allow iyou the regular commis sion of 10 per cent." Certain other information unearthed by tho Times is valuable in its bearing on this monumental swindle. Ti oue ot their own circulars, naturally a "Confidential" one, it is sail that even if every prize offered by the lottiry in its monthly drawings reached tho pur chasers of tickets, only $205,400 would lie paid out, as against receipts amount ing to $500,000 This would leave a monthly profit ot .134,000 if the draw ing! w-ro all fairly conducted. Wheth er or not they are fairly conducted may be iuferred from the previously quoted letter. Since the mails have been closed to the lottery bueiuess it is exceedingly difficult to arrive at an approximation of the amount of money annually sent Oat from !?cr.iuton towird the swindle's coltre. There wus onee a time wben it was claimed thut fully $150,000 was spent each year within the two comi ties of Luzirne and Lnckawnnna npon worthless pasteboards bought in ,,e Imp of suddenly Acquiring wealth. If this sunn drain oxists today, it must be evident that the profits of the business 1 an iari;e, musinucu as noiuing sqaai 1 in:; 150,000 a year has been returned in I the form of prizes. Those who bite and ;.;et caught nTi, however, no claim to sympathy. Thrf hooli is Daitea piainiy before their vorv eves. FBOBADLYTHI most infamous of all trusts is tba bread trust that is about to bo formed in Naw York city. A bread trnst is aimed directly at the elass of unfortunates who can least af ford to stand the pinching necessary to fill tho coffers of tho syndicate Money wrung from tho starving in this way ooght to carry a greater curse with it tbaa tho "thirty pieces of silver" that bought tho betrayal or the S ivior of mankind. Stout Democratic Blows. It is possible that lveir Hardie. the English D'mocrat, went to extremes in his so-called "sensational" scoring of royaltv iu the commons Thursday evening while discussing the motion to address congratulations to the queen upon tho birth of 1111 heir to the Duke of York. Y t what he said seems com mon enough to American ear, and would 8,0m to offer small excuse for the intemperate hullabaloo that is oe ing made over it. Let us examine some of the things that Mr. Hardie is credited with having said some of the things that brought down such a hornet's nest of reproaches upon his bared Ilea I. The motion, he declared, "was made becauso the child was born in tho royal family, and the houm has a right to ask what particular blessing the royal family has conferred upou the nation. What special blessiug has the Prince ol Wales conferred upon tho nation that we should rejoice with him';' It strikes our cruda and unemotional ear that this was a very natural and proper theme of interrogation, despite the anxiety of Colonel Sa undersoil, the Orangeman! to have Air. itaruio squelched. It is what we ask iu this country when 1111 administration either doeiu't suit or else shows tendency to be unuecesearily ccstly. This, however, was not the only pertinent point made by the plain spoken member from Wettbampahire. 'The home," said he, "is asked to re- joice bee iuse a child is born, but, up to tho present, there le no means or knowing his qualifications to reign over this great empire. It is strange that people who have so much to say about tho hereditary element in an other place should be so willing now to indorse it In this particular instance. As the house has not found time to vote condolence with the widows, or phans and others who aro suffering from the terrible calamity in Wales, I protest against the present mummery. " The dispatch! inform us that when Keir Hardie's level headed protest was put to vote, its author was tne only uiio who supported it, while all the re maining members, toshow their cuckoo loyalty, ehonted and stamped and yelled themselves hoarse because the kiugdoui remained intact. This heroic victory of loyal royalists is truly touch ing; it is as if an American congress should desist from it labors to go into mass meeting of congratulation over an increase in tho census of tho white house. Yet tho bluff Westhampshire democrat struck telling blows, and some day the people of Eagland will appreciate the common sense of them. A CURIOUS condition of things is re vealed iu the sympathy strike now "on" among western railroads. Em ployes in the Pullman palace car shops at Pullman, 111 , have a disagreement with the management in relation to a question of wages They struck ; which was their legal right, so long as no violence was exhibited. Then cniiH the question of handling Pull man cars on other roads; and the American Trainmen's union decides that a member of Its organisation most not work on a train that lias a Pullman car attached to it. The commercial activities of two thirds of the country aro suddenly crippled by this sequence of events; car wheels cease moving; mail and express and freight fail to roach their destina tion; the business engagements of ner sons in nowise connected with the Pull man Palace Cir Company nre necessa rily broki'ii through mutual inability to transport or travel; and throughout the greatest strotch of hustling country on tho world's map men , women and children aro inconvenienced, and some starved pirhapi, because a few pariom at Pullman do not agree 011 a schulnln of wages. Wo do not know anything about tho merits of tba Pullman dill r euce; but it is an easy thing to s.-e who gets the worm of the big Strike which has grown out of that small seed of trouble. The am izing thing is that the victimized pnblio UOMo't take bat ter steps to protect itself. THB BABBISBURQ ETAB IttDKPlNDENT, one of tho Democratic organ pipes of the capital city, bail recently expressed considerable uneasiness became lion, fjaluaba A.

The Star Independent should not expect too much of Mr. Grow just now at a time whon the government is in the hands of experimental enthusiasts and dema gogues of vaiiom degrees.

SlOfiV OF THE STEEL RAIL. Ch tCQQQ In fCf" C'C'M a. Prior to 1870, the tarilf duty on steel) rails was so low, and the wages of Ameri can laborers iu that business were so high j iu comparison with those of English la borers, that it was impossible to compete With the British iron masters iu that business, But in i.sto congren laid a duty of S-S a ton on steel rails and Ingots, ai.d 1 the result! have been eveu more wonder fnl Hum In the wool industry. In lbTu I only JD.i.ou tons 01 steel rsiia were uiaue m this Country, but iu 1 tiS-b we manufactured 1,880,277 tons of steel rails, and from 1677 to WM, inclusive, wo mado 10,708,116 tons cf steel rails, enough to build or relay over 150,000 miles of railway, and over 5,500,000 toi.u of Bessemer steel ingots for other in dustrial purpose. The average cost of this T.2, 3(0,00(1 tons ot steel wus about WO per ton ninouuting to the enormous sum ot 81,115,0UOiO0O, Bnppo! we allow 188,000,000, or about 10 per cent., bs pioiits to the manufacturers, a pri tlt probably much larger ihan the ac tual prolit, we shall have left 11 balance of (80100,000 to the credit of the laboring men who converted thut great mouiitniii of iron ore into llrst-cluss hteel.
