To the Republican Electors of Pennsylvania! After consultation and correspondence with the members of the Republican State Committee, and by their direction, I hereby aloe notice that j i the Republicans of Pennsylvania, by their duly sliosen representatives, will meet in State Con- , venlton at Ilarrlsburg, Wednesday, August 19, i 1891, at 10 o'clock A.

In one of Its columns ou Tuesday the Pottsville Itcpvbt'can said : "It is the duty of the Republicans to turn iu and support the liuivet niado by their representatives. Hide-bound party men have no right to kick. JSfeu who go to conventions aud men who are candidates before a convention, if honest, will submit (o the will of the majority of that convention. " And in another column of tho same issue the following sentiment was ex pressed ; "Tho ticket as nominated-to-day is first-class with one exception, that of Mr. Heffner. aud we cannot (support a candidate for any cfllce ; whose- record is that of an incom petent." The comparison is an amusing oue at least, but to thoso who have watched Schuylkill politics it Is more than -NEW- CARPETS AND OIL CLOTHS ! nro being receive! dally at O. 3D- FRICKE'S Carpet Store, 10 South Jardin SI, near Centre Pickling and Preserving Time ! is noiu at hand.

The Hdbald has always claimed and still claims that tho Mcpubllcanlti a political snake in tho grass and It takes pleasure in presenting the proof fresh from the peus of the hypocritical editors of the paper. "Hide-bound party men have no right to kick." Where did the Re publican secure Its license ? NOW FOR WORK, The Republican county convention held In Pottsville Tuesday was one of the most hnrnio'nloua over held in the county. Bound judgment prevailed and the delegates buried all dlfleronoes, looking only to the welfare of the party. The ticket nominated is a strong and clean one. It Is now in order for tho Republicans of the county to organize. The cry henceforth should be "shoulder to shoulder for victory" and with u long pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether, the whole ticket can bo elected. Let tho Re publicans stand guard and watch the Democrats as the enemy. Baware I The snake in the gras3 is already at work and the enemy protends to gloat over the fact that all the nomi nees are from south of the mountain. The Republicans should not heed such allusions. No north or south, but one united Schuylkill for Republican victory. Schuylkill la a Republican county, as will bo shown by the returns next November if the Republicans stand by their colors. Tliis is n test year and if harmony is not secured by the Republicans on the present basis it never will be. There is no possible excuse for.auy Republican to bolt the ticket. All tho nominees are men of ability and merit, and are fully entitled to a strong vote. Step to the line of harmony aud work with a will for tho whole ticket, disregarding all differences of tho past aud with one object in view the re demption of Schuylkill.

The IIeeai.tj to-day preionla to its readers tho second and last part of ttio troalito prepared by Divis'on tiuperiulon dent John L. AVilllatus, of town, for tho piizo competition arranged by The Pilts bvrg Times on tho boet means for avoid'tig mino disasters. Of tho 272 papers submitted on tho sub ject but four were rocommondod for pub lication by tho commUteo and below it published tho second partof Air. Williams' paper, which was ono of tho four: PAKT IL-Lamps. In a gaseous mino tho miner carries his lifo in his hand. lie is defoncoiojs and open to bo carried into otornity without tho slightest warning if not provided with a good aud roliablo safely lamp, a lamp that has boon subject to tho eovorest tests and has stood thorn. Tnero aro lamps in use that can to rolled upon, as far as construc tion and principle are concerned. Tho lamp should ho protected from too high a volocity of air, as dancer is imminent wnon tho flamo piercos Iho gauzo. It is not al together from a defective lamp that mino disasters havo originated, hut from tho care less and indlfforont use made of them. In the first place, tho lock ol the safely lamp should bo so constructed as to defy a person to Itmper with it thafmn.lil--.njt lead to detection. Hut a greater evil exists when illiterate and inexperienced persons aio onfiaged who really do not know tho dau Ker that envelops thorn. Hero is tho point that should be pressod homo. The minors, as a rulo, aro an educated class, but it can not ho disputod that thero aro a number of miners who need educating in tho lit'.lo duties and responsibilities that daily attend tho full, practical and safe execution of their work. "Whore blowors of gas aro ex pectod. suddenly or havo occurred, a safely lamp should bo provided that would surely hi extinguished by tho presonco of gas in side tho gauz3. Any ono found to have tampered with his lamp should bo instantly dismissed, and prosecuted according to law. VEK'J'II,A"'tON. This is no doubt tho most important feature of a successful mino. By tho word successful, I moan the mino which is prac tically frco from all disasters that can bo ascribed to tho insufficient circulation of air. It is almost as impracticable to float a boat without water, as to imagino that n gaseous mino can bo successfully oporated free of disasters without tho aid of a sound systom of ventilation. Very often tho quantify of air to eitculato through a new mino is arrivod at and based upon mathe matical inferences or theoretically, which is not always reliable. It is dosirablo sometimes to take into consideration tho condition of adjacent mines, wotked under similar circumstances. Whenever such a basis is taken to work upon, care should bo taken to allow, sufficient' margin. Tho ventilating power should bo augmented. Then there aro no risks. Tho fan engine should bo regulated to meot difl'eront con ditions, as it Is not always policy to havo too strpng a current of air, Tbo minor's comfort commands our' evory considera tion. I know of instances whero tho ven tilating current is bo strong that it im pregnates tho oyos aud nostrils with dust, making it very uncomfortable Experi ments aro numerous when, ovon after watering tho roadway, tho current bos been so strong, togolhor with tho naturi) heat of the mine, as to make it impossible to kcop tho dust down. THE DUST TUKORY. The theory advanced in support of the argument that coal dutt has been known to originate an explosion, I givo no credoneo. All my oxporienco provos to mo that tho explosion is only aggravated, intensified and elongated, which is sufficient to impress upon us tho importance of paying particu lar attention to tho mattor of keeping tho dust down. By sections of pipos laid down tho wholo length of tho main roadways, with jets at regular distances, tbo water is thrown out at regular intervals, and thu tho roadways aro always kopt damp. The distribution of air Into splits cannot be too highly approved of, as each section of men rocolvo an adenuato quantity of pure air, and it is not charged with tho air that men havo Inhaled in other sections of the mine. Each spilt of air is carried direet to the return and then to the upoast, Oases very often occur whero explosive gases exist In small quantities, that tho miner is provided with a safety lamp to delect the presenoe of gas in his own working faoe, whero it sometimes, generates while ha might be called away for a few minute at a timo. Tho fire boss examines during his proscribed time. This practlco of giving a miner a safety lamp together with his naked light "is absurd." That Is whero explosive gas is found. tnotr claims. Every year fresh ovldonccs aro chron icled in the mino Inipector's reports whero mon discard tho safety lamp, or accom panled thoir safety lamp with a naked light, thus ondangorlng tho lives of hundrods of mon. Anything that is dono in a slipshod manner or by halvos should be dono away with. If good rosults aro to accruo, then radical changes and Improvements must bo expected. All old and abandonod work ings, that cannot bo hermetically sealed, should bo kopt thoroughly ventllatod and inspectod at least onco a week by tho In side foreman or bis atslstants, and a correct report of the condition of tho samo bo kopt in the rooord book at tho colliery ofHco for tho inspection of the mino inspector, and a copy sent to tho district superintendent. Thoro should bo u duplicate, fan kept at oach and evory colliery. In caso anything happens to ono fan, tho other could bo put in motion in a few minutes. I would also suggost that all fans should bo so con structed that they could bo changed in a short sptco of tim? from an exhaust to a propalling fan and vice vorsa. If so ob structed tho air currents could bo changod in a short time in cases of fires or oxplo eions, Thus great disaster could bo averted. I would also suggosl that tho air courpos bo of largo dimensions, so that large quantilios of air could bo propelled through at a slow volocity. This would in crease tho ventilating current, by diminish ing tho. friction. Evory attention Ehould bo paid to maintain thoso air coursos at any cost, In a first-class manner. It Is prepostorous to presume that any thing short of strict surveillance, careful and systematic management, and a sound system of ventilation, can prevent our hearths and homes being bosieged and pen etrated by talos of woe, of horrible oxplo sions, and consequent desolation.
