THE NEW
SATIN LINED MUFFLERS
Are Very Proper.
f Regulations Regarding Display of
Meat Are Worthless.
Food Inspector Wldmayer has been
feeling rather blue for the pant dav or
tvvo, und It's all because he has dis
covered that the rules adopted some
time ngo by the bonrd of health, pro
hibiting the hniiRlng of meat outside
butcher shops, can not be enforced.
The food Inspector was nil In readi
ness on Monday to arrest a certain
market man who has been a special
violator of tho rules, when ho dlscovt
prod that there was no clause Provid
ing for a penalty, In case of vlolntlon.
attached to the set of regulations, thu
board evidently having failed to notlco
this defect when thev were adopted.
The net of assembly provides thnt nil
rules passed by tho board shall be a
ordinances, and that all Penalties col
lected from violators o ald rules shall
be turned over to the city treasurer.
Inasmuch as there la, no penalty al
flxeU, the rules are worthless, and the
only thing now to bo done Is to ndJ
such a cluuso nt the next meeting of
the board.
In the meantime, the butchers nro
said to be taking advantage of this
legal loophole nnd nre hanging a laigo
port of their meat outside their shops.

Htilko of 1S77. This letter Is the foutth
In the serlts. Tho other three weie
published on Jan. 6, 15 und 20 respect
ively: Editor of Thu Tribune
fir: Still another reminiscence ot a
strike wllth took place In l.aekavvann.i
valley In the year 1&77. This strike was
inaugurated by the miner;, for an ud
vuncu of wages of ten per cent . and con
tinued for tnitu months. Thetis : home
tliltiL,' a little peculiar about the length
cf time a strike of the miners will t.iko
to run tho gauntlet Tho Milkd ol vi"
was waged for three months; thu sltlko
of 1SC9 continued for three months; :he
Milke of IS'iC and 1S71 ran twlco thrre,
which Is tho only exception, but the
strike of 1S77 fell back to the familiar
number three, so it makes a person to
think as that Is tho full extent of time
that It will take to convince tho miners
that they aro on the los-lng side of tho
battle,
Thero was something very queer nt-d
iittthoURhtful cbout the bvgliinmg or
this Bttike. It was btoiiglit about sums
thing like this: It was tho mechanics
and engineers that went out on strike
Hist and In the courue of a week tho
Delawaie, Lackawanna and Western
minus and tho Delnwitio and llud.sou
miners joined wltn tlwm and suspended
work, so tho mechanics, tho engineers
and the miners were (Handing sho'ildei to
slioi.lder for an advance ot wastes of
ten per cent, with all the coinage and
iMimony that could bo wished exl.'tlng
between them, so that they appeared is
i. grand formldablo body and that tiny
would Mick like leeches to each other
Hut alas, at the end of two weeks we
find the mechanics and tho eiilrei rs
going back to their work at exactly
the same vv.iiw. as they left off a couple,
of weeks prevkus and we. the Dela
ware, Lackawanna nnd Western miners
and the Delaware and Hudson miners, at
our post once again cf holding tho nvv
by the horns for thieo wary long
months,; for tho Luzernn mini rs weto
nil working, the miJdln coil Held mtneis
were nil wotkltur, the Cirbon 1 1 unty
miners were all working, the Columbia
county miners wcro all voritlni', the
Northumberland county miners w ro all
woiking, tho Dauphin county . Im rs
were all working, and the cliuIMll
miners wero all working; only the Lick
uwnnnti miners were all Idle, out on
strike for an advance of waged.
The other day a knot of gentlemen
wcro discussing tho opening of Wvo
mlng avenue and surprise wns ex
pressed thnt Colonel Sanderson, who
was one ot the party, should oppose
what seemed to be so dcslt.tble an Im
provement. The colonel let himself out
ptetty well In defending his views nnJ
the whole matter resolved lrself down
to a general discussion of municipal
inattets. A gentleman of tho partv
connected with this paper became in
terested and ns a result thu editor
wtoto thu colonel a nolo lequestlng
him to put his views in writing so
they could bo published. This com
munication Is In response to that tc
liiist. It Is In places ti enchant, of
couise, for the colonel Is not gunetally
backwards In cxpiesslng his views, no
has long been known lor an Intimate
knowledge- of city uflalrs und his leas
ons for opposing the opening of W li
ming nvenue ate given clearly and
foielbly. The article will be Inteiest

DAVID WILLIAMS INJURED.
111U KKSUI.T.
Well, what was tho result of this
strike? 1 havo to admit that it culmin
ated llko tho others, a totil failure. We
wire glad to renurne work ut tlio Mime
prleo ns wr had quit work t..:c montl f.
1 ruvtuiis. And If we had only cimpaicd
tho list of wages earned In Lackawanna
and the lower regions we should nevir
have btruck, and we found It out try
quick when we went to work in tho
lower coal regions, tor hundreds upon
hundreds of us left our homes and went
wonting all over tho anthracite eoal
field mill wo lealized that tho rate of
wages at homo was higher without tho
advance than was paid all through the
lower coal regions, and then wo made
n hasty leturn home and humbly asked
our emplojcrs to permit us, to resume
woik, which they did on the samo seafe
of wages that we had quit worK three
months previous.
If we gained no adinnco of wages In
our MrlkeH I think that we gained n little
wisdom and they say that It's experience
Is the best teacher. So the Delaware,
Lackawanna anil Western minors li.ivn ,
had a strike for tho last twenty-threo
oars. Then lot us eontlnuo to realize
tin- situation and reap thn benefits und
pioflts from past sorrowful experience.

tho constitutional limit of municipal In
debtedness, but this is unlv a possibility.
In nn ejeni the city will have Wjo.

which together amount to $77,tU30. It
deems to me- this Is a sutllclent ansvvci
to "Why nro you opposed to opening Wy

bei eel, also, that the present measure
only provides for condemnation ot ptop.
