EDITORIAL REMARKS,
Tue little row with Chili Isn't settled
yet. The little fogl republic hasn't vet
come to “Uncle Bam's” terms, and itis
hard to teil just what the outcome of the
affair will be. Let us all be patient and
wait and see what we shall see.
Tae next National Democratic conven-
tion will be held in Chicago, June 31st,
where they will place a ticket in the field
that will be defeated as easy as rolling
off a log. But that should in no way dis-
courage “the great unterrified,” as they
are used to being defeated at Presidential
elections.
Ar the coming spring elections great
care should be exercised to elect’ only
‘{ thoroughly competent election officers.
The new: eledtion system goes into effect
Match 1st, and as the new system will
not be understood thoroughly ut first, we
should elect none but the most intelligent
men to serve on election boards.
ORE of the delegates to the sixteenth
anual convention of the United States
Potters’ Association, recently held in Chi-
cago, gave the following interesting facts
in regard to low prices on dishes:
“Since the passage of the McKinley
bill our goods have been cheaper. For
fustance, a» 125-piece dinner set, decorated
| mous rose, gold trimmings, sold for $46.70

in 1878; in 1888 bought for $237; in 1860,
$14.20, and in 1892 sells for $12.70. Other
things are in proportion.”

for Democratic newspapers to suspect
that everything the representative Demo-
crats furnish them is untrue, and refuse
to publish, unless with condemnation.
That is the way we do with all from that
source, and we never get into trouble.
A goon desl having been said from
time to time, in the Elk Lick eoal region,
as to the rights of the miners, we repro-
duce the following sensible article from
the Pittsburgh Times, every word of
which we most heartily endorse,
The superintendent of a colliery at
Reynoldsville is under arrest on the charge
of intimidating the miners who wanted
to put on a chechweighman. The law
explicity gives them the right to have one.
“It is to be supposed that he has a de:
feuse of some sort. Imagine a farmer ar-
riving at a country store wilh a load of
wheat, the amount of which he can only
guess, and imagine the purchaser, when
measuring it. refusing to let him see {hat

does most heartily endorse: ;
