THE With an assiduity OPPOSITION wortuy of a bettor TO causo the New York THE newspapers have GOAL lately engaged In the COMBINATION publication of ar ticles Intended to alarm the miners of tho anthracite coal region a? to the effect of the new combination on wages. No Intelligent miner will be misled by those studied efforts to de ceive him. Unfortunately for the purposes of tho coal sharks of New York and other localities outside of tho coal fields, as reflected by the newspapers mentioned, the average miner of to-day is more Intelligent than formerly, Education and in formation, gleaned from well-informed publications with honest purposes, have given the men who dig coal the weapons to combat false doctrines as promulgated by their old enemies. It Is an old story but one which will bear revamping that the price of coal regulates tho rate of wages. As long as wages are based on a basis with a a sliding scale, just so long will higher wago3 follow higher prices of coal and vice versa. Now the information is given out that for February the rate of wages will, be 0 per cent, below tho $2.D0 basis. This would have been different if the price of coal had been at least but 25 cents per ton higher. The rate would have been one nearly at basis. The trade wreckers in New York and elsewhere are the cause of low prices. That is a well understood fact. Tneir opposition to the new combination is put forth in n sym pathetic vein. It Is iu fact based on selfish motives. If tho policy of the Philadelphia & Reading Company, as enunciated, is carried out and Presi dent MoLeod will apply the remedy, all this opposition will spon he over come and coal will soon bring what it is worth to mine and transport It, giv 2B CENTS PER YARD FOR nkrf Floor 011 Cloth! others for UT M 30, 33 and 40 cts. and upwards.

Secretary op War Eijkins Is freely spoken of as the Republican candidate for Governor of West Vir ginia. The Secretary has dono more to develop the Industrial resources of West Virginia than any one man ever accomplished and has become de servedly popular throughout the state, He would make a great candidate and a magnificent run, and we believe would be elected. With Elklns as the Republican standard bearer West Vir glnla would break the solid South In in the election next November, and carry the state for tho Republican can didate for President also. West Vlr glnla Is a doubtful state at best, but with the popular Secretary of War as a leader doubts would soon vanish and West Virginia become a Republican state. A huge mill for the manufacture of eatines and the finer grades of cottons is to be erected in Adams, Massachu setts. The capital of the new manu factory will be $1,000,000, and will give employment at American wages to 800 persons. The new enterprise will create a profitable homo market for the American sea Island cotton It is one more illustration of the tendency of a wisely framed tariff .to develop homo manufactures along new Hues. The Consul at St. Etionne, France, reports that a large manu facturer of ribbons, and one of gloves, are looking for sites in tho United States, and that they expect to build factories and give employment in tho aggregate to upwards of 050 persons. The MoKInley tariff is getting in its work. By the end of the year it will have resulted in tho employment of not fewer than 33,000. persons in new lines of Industry in this country.

Tho taxpayers of Shonandoah may bo compollod to pay highor taxes this year.but they had lots of fun with County Solicitor Minogue. The taxpayers of Shonandoah had lots of fun with Ojunty Solicitor Minoguo on Thursday ovening. They hold a meeting for the purpose of adjusting the assessment of property and to protost against tho way tho assessors havo beon working undor tho Commissioners' directions as exemplified by Mr. Alinoguo. 0 That gentleman had some hard questions put him and bo ended his argument In favor of a full valuation by thoroughly mixing his theory. Ho triod to show that It was fair to assess a property at 30,000 bocauso it originally cost that much, though it was aftorward sold for only 10,000 and then said that a proporty which cost 0,000 should bo assessed at 13,000 if that amount was offend for it. The full valuation may be very fair in the minds of the O.unty Commissioners and their genial solicitor, but tho people contlnuo to have an entirely different opinion. Poltaville Chronicle.
