The coal operators assert that one
reason why the miners arc not j
prosperous ie because they drink to'
I much intoxicating stuff. It is
| pointed out that in Shenandoah '
| there is a saloon to every sixteen |
voters, in Mahanoy City one to
fifteen voters. Instances like this
could lie multiplied all over the
coal field, and in the town of New
Philadelphia there is a saloon to
every six voters. Five hundred
thousand barrel Is of beer were
brewed ia Luzerne county last year
j and enough imported to make up
for Ine axports so that the entire
half million barrels were consumed
at home. These are figures that
can't be got away from.
Meats, milk, butter, eggs and
vegetables are higher in price than
for twenty -two cars, according to
a statement just is sued by Dun's
agency. Bread and breads tuffs i,re
a little lower than they were a year
ago. Clothing and everything that
the people use, including all the in
dustrial metals, are at the top price
since KS.S4. This meaus that the
cost of living is greater now than
for nearly a generation past. The
high pi ice of food articles makes it
necessary to raise the price of all
other manufactured articles. Why
food prices should be proliibitorily
high in a land which produces such
large amounts seems strange, un
less tney are concerned by trusts.
Iu the Supreme Court at Phila
delphia Chief Justice Mitchell
handed down an opinion in which
he affirmed the decree of the Frank
lin county court which declared the
compulsory vaccination act con
stitutional. Kdward Stull, of
Waynesboro it will be remembered
brought suit against Prof. J. IL. Re
bel- to restrain liitn from denying
his daughter admission to the
schools because she had not been
vaccinated. Judge Howe decided
the law to be sound; that the school
superintendent had the right to ex
clude the Stull girl from school be
cause she had not complied with
the law.
Depredations were committed iu
this town Saturday night that puts
the climax on the opposition against
tiie efforts of the Village Improve
ment Society. There bus been des
perate resistance forced against tlio.se
who have enlisted in the work of
beautifying the town, and the crimi
nal conduct of the element was more
openly displayed Saturday night
when some miserable wr teh jiuoed
up the ferns that had be n itiml
iu the rockery in the center .if the
park, and also giid.ed the shade
trees recently planted along the
streets including the sever u line
nursery trees placed in front > 112 the
Court House, by the ftuiniy t 0111-
ini.swioners. Having resort• 110 thi
method of showing their disapproval'
I of what has been accomplished by |
S the V.l. S., there is good prospects \
| of some one getting all the trouble j
they are evidently itching for.
For the information of those who
tlo not deserve to be informed as j
i well as those who do we print lie
low the law .-overing such vandal- i
| ism.
"Any person who shall willfully
! injure or destroy any fruit or orna
! mental trees, shrub plant or grape

! The movement among Grand Ar
my veterans to change Memorial
1 day from May 30 to the last Sunday
| in May is said to be gaining strength
j throughout the country. There is a
I general feeling, it is declared, that
I the day as now observed, does not
belong to the old soldiers, as it
should; thatin the popular'devotion
to sports of all kinds its special sig
nitigance is forgotten and the lessons
of patriotism formerly associated
with the day, and by which young
people and children might profit,
are untaught. Here is much reason
in the contention, and the adoption
of a Sunday for the combined mem
orial serviceand patriotic observance
would obviate the secular features
which are now inseparable from
Memorial day. It is not to tie ex
pected that young people will refraiu
from outdoor recreations of all kinds
on a secular holiday and there is no
desire to Hud fault Willi theui for
their characteristic manner of ob
serving the 30th of May, but the old
soldiers are entitled to their day.
Mrs. Wiliiam Bay of Hemlock
(irove, died last Saturday after an
I Iness of several months. She was
taken to the Williamsport hospital
several weeks ago where an operation
was performed in the hopes of bene
fiting her health, but in her weak
ened condition she failed to* improve
and gradually grew worse until she
passed away. Mrs. Hay, who was
a bout forty years of age, is survived
by a husband and family of children
who have the deepest sympathy of
many friends in the loss of a devot
ed wife and mother.
An exchange say- the fact that
you can read the proof of a news
paper article three or four times and
repeatedly pass over the same error
without seeing it. All newspaper
men will tell you so. But just as
soon as the press is started, and the
paper is printed in its complete
shape, there stands the error in
front of you so big that you can't
see anything else. It is a strange
f ;w;t and is probably the reason why
it is so easy to edit a newspaper af
ter it is printed.
The liign prices fore last i
mouth, in consequence of a SUP-I
pensian of mining, will bring an in
crease of wages to the miners.
The peculiarity of the result appears ;
iu the fact that while they were I
vesting they were earning money. !
No one will begrudge the hard
working mine workers the gain the) i
made in the transaction.
