S3 THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-TUESDAY, AUGUST 30, 1898 BIG STRIKE AT BEAVER MEADOW PNE THOUSAND MEN AT COL BAINE QUIT WOEK. Decision Beached at a Meeting on Sunday Night Pickets Stationed Along tho Iioada to Prevent Other Miners from Going Near tho Placo. Tho Discharge of a Hungarian tho Causo of Trouble. Hnzleton, Au&. 29. One thousand men employed at the Evans nnd the Colralne collieries at Beaver Meadow nnd Colralne operated by tho A. S. Van "Winkle, trustees, went out on strlko today. This decision was reached at a meeting of the men at Beaver Meadow on Sunday night and this morning pickets stationed along tho roads lead ing to the collieries notified all who were not yet nware of the contemplat ed strike that no work would be al lowed until the grievances which caus ed the strike arc settled. This view was not generally concurred In by tho English speaking miners, but they sub. mlttcd and returned to their homes. The cause of the stilke Is alleged by the men to have been the discharge of an Hungarian laborer who Is said to have refused to pay for tho company doctor. The officials of tho company deny this, assigning Incompetency as the cause of tho man's dismissal. Tho Hungarians held a secret meeting at Heaver Meadow early this evening, but its outcome was not mado public. It la probable that a committee of the mrikers will meet the officials tomor row, with a view of settling the griev ance complained of. THE FUTURE OF SPAIN. Here's Hoping That It May Be a Prosperous One. From tho Philadelphia Press. Spain has within herself tho ele ments of prosperity, but they arc of such u nature that only energy, econ omy nnd wise government will enable them to be utilized. She has a terri tory of which much Is high and seml arld, but there arc llch valleys and hillsides which produce the choicest of fruits, winea and oils. With a revision of the taxes which bear heavily on cultivated lands, with better roads and the use of machinery, Spain could be made to yield a large increase in Its agricultural products, most of which increase could be exported. She has also mines of Iron, zinc, lead and coal, none of which has been worked to Its full capacity. There are facili ties for manufacturing also, which, If ndvantageously used, would multiply the lndustrlu! Interests many fold and bring wealth to the nation. The question is whether there ex ists an element among the people pos sessing the energy and vitality to grasp tho situation nnd turn it to ad vantage. For two centuries, Spain has been on the declining scale. Other na tions have progressed, but she has gone backward steadily. Tho Spanish have dreamed while other people have worked. The task of taking the na tion out of the rut In which it has run for 200 years Is a colossal one. If poverty was the only obstacle, the fu ture would offer hope. But It is the national character, weakened and warped by generations of mlsgovern ment, by lack of education and want of contact with the outside world that makes the task look all but hopeless. Austria recovered quickly from the humiliation of defeat In 1SS6, and France rose by a bound from The de gradation thrust on it in 1870. But in both these nations there was a basis of character upon which to build and which Spain may lack. And yet there Is a possibility that the future of Spain may surprise her de tractors. The current of new Ideas which will sweep over the nation as a result of a sudden contact with outer life may generate an activity that will nstonlsh the world. Nations move quickly now, as men do, and the war of 1808 may proe to be the greatest blessing that has happened to Spain In two centuries. If she can forget tho past, turn toward the rising sun, drop medieval and adopt modern ideas there is a bright future before her. Thero should be some seed of Moorish plant ing which has still the power of germi nation, and from which may yet sprlntr a new life, if this should result, none would rejoieo more than tho nation that felt called by humanity to stop Spain in its downward course.

He had prayed long and earnestly for a bicycle, hut his father thinking him too young to ride one, had bought him a tri cycle. When he awoke, on tho morning of his birthday, and found the three wheeler by hi hednlde, he was disgusted. "Doesn't the Lord know toe dlfterenco between, a btcyclo and a tricycle?" he whimpered.
