Senator to fill the va- cancy caused by the death of Senator Quay, seems to give pretty general sat- isfaction to the people of Pennsylvania. Mr. Knox is & most brilliant man, and as Attorney General of the United States, which office he will leave to ac- cept the new appointment, he won golden opinions from all the great men of our country. Ir during the coming campaign there comes. a time when there is a suspicion that the Democrats may win, let any unprejudiced observer note the effect of such prospect on trade and manu- facturing industries, and say for him- self whether this talk about the effect of Tariff smashing is all “hot air.” Every one knows that a smashed Tariff means lower prices, and no one is going to be fool enough to load up with goods on a falling market.—Clinton (Ind.) Clintonian. ll GY Uxi1oN labor is & grand thing in lo- calities where it is conducted on sane prineiples ; but in localities where the unions are dominated by ignorant blow- hards who talk a great deal and say but little, there can be but one final outcome, and that is a. complete over- throw of unionism. For example, we cite you to the mining troubles in Col- orado. At first the union there was reasonable and beneficial to all persons concerned. But after it became pow- erful enough, and the management fell into the hands of unprincipled leaders, then trouble began. The union insist- ed on running the mines and treating the employers as though they had no authority there. Then the mine opera- tors began to discharge union men and hire non-union men, after which the union men began to destroy property. beat and maim employes and company officials, and finally commit murders by wholesale. The general public re- mained neutral until the people could stand anarchy and lawlessness no long- er. A powerful citizens’ vigilance so- ciety was formed, and by working in harmony with the State troops, that section of country is practically rid of a brand of union labor that ought not be permitted to get a foothold any- where. Whole trainloads of union miners were gathered up by the infuri- ated and outraged public, and they were hauled several hundred miles east, where they were unloaded on un- inhabited prairies, a volley of bullets fired over their heads and warned never again to show their faces in Colorado. Matters have never reached that stage in the Elk Lick coal region, and we hope they never will. but it can be said of a truth that the miners’ organization has abused its power suf- ficiently in this region to lose the re- spect and sympathy of the general public to a very great extent. The union was fair and manly in the out- start in this region, but it couldn’t. stand prosperity, and during the boom in the coal trade the organization had things about all its own way. The companies could neither hire nor dis- charge a man unless the pit committees gave their consent. Employes could curse pit bosses with impunity, and no matter how justly an employe deserv- ed his discharge, the companies could not discharge any person, except at the risk of having their mines closed. Some of the organization crowd fre- quently took delight in boasting of their power to do as they pleased, whether right or wrong. This was all give it a flat, unnatural appearance. the present state of affairs, it will nevertheless be a valuable lesson to | those who are never satisfied unless | abusing their power and authority. The union will in time rise up again, and when it does, we hope to see it conducted on sane principles. Some of the leaders in this region have acted fair and honorable, but there have been too many unfair ones counteract- ing all the good that was being accom- plished. No union can long exist and flousish when dominated by blatant blowhards that never could manage their own affairs—men who were never held in good repute in their respective communities, and who haye never dealt fairly with any person, except when they had to. We have men in this re- | gion who joined the union simply to hang onto it as parasites and be in a measure kept by the organization, and that class would rather live in idleness and be supported in a hand-to-mouth way by the union than to work hard for wages that would more than make them a living. They are the class that will be unable to get back into the mines, and they are the ones inducing many good men to remain idle, so that the union’s relief will not be with- drawn and the strike declared off. To men who have no higher ambition than simply to exist as parasites and idlers, a strike is of little concern. But to men who are ambitious enough to try to get a little something laid by for a “rainy day,” and who have regard for their obligations to their wives and others who have confided in them, a useless strike and a mismanaged union constitute a great soufce of worry. Some men put great stress on their ob- ligations to their union, but very little on their obligations to others who have been helping them. E. H. MILLER asks the readers of this paper to test the value of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. Those persons who have used it and who have ‘been cured by it, do not hesitate to recommend it to their friends. Kodol digests what you eat, cures indigestion, dyspepsia and all stomach troubles. Increases strength by enabling the stomach and digestive organs to con- tribute to the blood all of the nutri- ment contained in the food. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is pleasant and palat- able. 7-1 MEN WHO HAVE MADE THEIR MARK. An Appropriate and Effective Book- let on the Savings Habit. The above is the title of a very in- teresting booklet just issued by the Pittsburgh Bank for Savings, of Pitts- burgh, Pa. The booklet is one of the best ever published for the purpose. It contains a brief but surprisingly complete biography of great American statesmen and kings of finance. It is admirably illustrated with half-tone portraits of characteristic scenes illus- trating striking episodes in the lives of various characters among whom are Benjamin Franklin, Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Carnegie, Stephen Girard, John Wanamaker, James A. Garfield, John D. Rockefeller and others. Fol- lowing each biography is an apt quota- tion appropriate to the matter preced- ing. Typographically it is one of the handsomest little booklets we have fezn for some time, and it will repay our readers to send for a copy of the same, which will be furnished free of charge by the Pittsburgh Bank for Savings, provided you mention this pa- per, but not otherwise.

Wright and W. H. Powell, the genial and popular auctioneer, started a small mining en- terprise and gave employment to nine or ten men in and about their works. The miners employed formed an agreement with the new company to mine and load coal at a certain price per car, and at the price agreed upon they have been making as high as $150 and over per month. The mine being a new one, the men who went there to work did not take the place of any other men, and at the: price per car they are working for, they have been making more money than most men had been making at 65 cents per ton at the other mines before the strike. Un- der such circumstances, the employes of the Boynton Coal Company cannot justly be accused of “scabbing.” However, the fools and violators of the law are not all dead yet, for a lot of people at Boynton have been resort- ing to all manner of foolish outlawry in order to frighten the employes of the Boynton Coal Company away from their work. They have been calling them “scabs,” “blacklegs” and other vile names, and for a number of days the wives and daughters of strikers would harrass miners on their way from work with old tin pans and other instruments of like nature. That kind of business was soon stop- ped, however, by the officers of the law, and now the favorite method of the fools who plan such tactics is to induce their children to shout “scab,” ‘“black- leg” etc, at the miners who go quietly about their business. People who put such nonsense and meanness into the heads of their innocent chil- dren can not hope to see their offspring most menial positions in life.

The test well being put down by the above named company in Greenville township, gives all indications of being a successful venture. We visited the place last Sunday and found an ax- ceedingly fine drilling outfit there, and we learned that the hole was then a little cver 200 feet deep. The bailings show a considerable quantity of oil, and the oil appearing on the surface of a spring near by has almost entirely disappeared since the well is down a considerable depth. The bailings from the well show far more oil than ever appeared on the surface of the spring near by, and the amount increases as the well is deepened. This, we think, is good evidence that the oil that ap- pears on the surface of the spring wa- ter for years, was forced up from a depth which is now reached by the well and cut off from the spring, indicating that a considerable quantity exists in the locality and was forced to the .sur- face of the spring by gas pressure. The drillers say that the prospect is as good as any they have ever seen, and they are men of wide experience in drilling oil wells. A ,>vernment geologist who investigated the place also says it is as promising a locality for oil as he has ever seen. official report, and have great confi- dence in it. We saw his We are under obligations to Hon. P. E.
