OBB'S OBSERVATIONS.
MEETING of tho min
ers and laborers of tho
Girardvlllo district was
held on Saturday night
for tho purposo of tak
ing Rtnritt tn rn nrffniifon
L I -V in nBtr 1 " o
wMJaBncfi lh old MinerB' nni1
Laborers Amalgamated
Association. The moot
ing was held In Peiin
Girardvlllo, and tho
asscmblago was made up principally of man
who wero members of tho organization when
it had a great inilucnco In this region.
A very enthusiastic spirit prevailed and
when Goorgo Harris cntcrod tho hall ho ro
eclved a cordial greeting. After tho meeting
was called to order no tlmo was lost in gotting
ready for an expression. Mr. Harris was tho
only speaker and when ho concluded his mi
ll roes tho men wero ready to act. Accordingly
thoy organizod a temporary branch and will
meet again noxt Saturday ovcnlng to organ
za permanently.
Mr. Harris says thoro is a uniform move
ment throughout tho county on tho part of
coal operators to defeat a ro-organizatlou of
tho M. & L. A. A. and he found that tho an
tagonistic stops wero oven inoroformidablo in
Girardvlllo than In town.but tho men say they
will proceed to organize Thoy maintain that
the cllbrts to bring new life to tho SI. & L.
A. Is not a step to arouso a spirit of dis
content among their fellow-laborers, nor has
it any tendency to strikes. On tho contrary
it Is a movement to give the men a lawful
organization by nnd through which thoy
may discuss nnd havo properly represented to
thoso who can (.fleet tho remedies, tho ovils
which frequently grow out of tho indifferent
and arbitrary actions of some, minor olllcials.
Last night Mr. Harris, by special request,
attendod a meeting of Lithuanians in town.
It was not a mass meeting, hut ono which is
held every wook. Tho members havo a good
knowledge of tho English language and
listened to Mr. Harris' address with much
interest. Tholr applause caused frequent
interruptions and when tho speaker con.
cludod they surrounded him and gavo as.
surances that they wero in full acoord with
all ho had staled. Thoy also promised to bo
on hand to-morrow night to help affect an
organization.
When Mr. Harris held his meeting in town
last Wednesday it was decided to wait a few
days beforo ctfecting an organization. As
tho organizer put it, "I would rrefer waiting
until I could get a lew men with their eyes
open and somo knowledge of what thoy
intend doing than to start ont now with a
thousand men who havo no idea of what
labor organization is." Accordingly it was
decidod to moot in Iiobbins' opera house
again to-morrow (Tuesday) evening, nt
o'clock, when it is expected at least ono
branch will bo startod. Objection has been
raised in somo quarters on account of Tuc
day being election day, hut Mr. Haril3 says
that this should not preyent a good attend
anco, as tho polls closo at 7 o'clock and tho
two or three hours following, during which
the returns aro being prcparod, can bo spent
with profit at the M. & L. A. A. meeting.
This view ha3 beou accepted by a largo
number and the indication? aro that tho
meeting will bo a success.
What Ho Sees mill Heart During His Trav
el About Tim ii.
Shenandoah has many clerks of the malo
persuasion who pride themselves upon being
well dressed. Ilallow'oen night, however,
proved an unlucky occasion for ono of them.
It appears that this Main street clerk was
called upon to deliver somo goods on Tuesday
night to a customer who resides on Jardin
street. Tho maid at this liouso had bcon an
noyed by answering calls at tho doorbell, and
decidod to give tho miscreants a hot and cold
recoptiou. Tho unfortunato clerk inno
cently rang tho door boll and was answered
with tho contents of a bucketful of water
from tho second story window. You can
easily imaglno tho condition of his starched
collar and culls after tho shower bath.
.
Whllo thinking over polities I recall a
remark made by ono of my neighbors to tho
offect that a Republican is of tho most use to
his party on olectlon day. That is very true.
The fellow who is a Republican overy day in
tho yoar oxcept on voting days is not a very
valuable or estimable kind of Republican at
any tlmo. Torchlight processions must bo
filled, applause at political meetings must bo
given, thoro must bo street cornor blow and
bluster, and oilers to bet on tho result; they
all go to glvo voice to public sentiment, and
each has ltc effuct upon different kinds of
men. But after all, that Republican is tho
most valuahlo to his party and his country
ho Is true to his principles on election day,
and who votes his party tlckot always.
Tlio Sporting Craze."
Tho next attraction at Ferguson's theatre
will bo tho latost successful farce comedy
"The Snorting Craze." To-morrow evening
the farce will be presented by a capable com
pany of comedians, singers, dancers and pret
ty girls. During tho action of the farce novel
specialties, recently successful musical nunv
here, popular songs, concerted numbers and
fascinatingly attractive dances will be Intro
duced. The play treats in a satirical and
humorous manner of the intenso interest
shown by the puhlio in sports. It is said to
sparklo with shafts of keen wit and epigam
matio speeches. In the development of the
story It is necessary to present a view of the
training quarters of a puyllist and show him
preparing for a fistic encounter. For this
purpose,tbe management has engagod Mr.
Owen Ziegler, Champion Light Weight of
Pennsylvania, who will glvo an oxhibltlon
of bag puuehing, sparring, etc., etc. The an
nouncement is made that this exhibition does
not contain ono feature that could, in auy
manner, be objectionable to any one.
I think tho following expression of opinion
by Col. "Bob" Ingorsoll is quite interesting
I do not expect that repeal will havo auy
great ollcct ono way or tho other. Tho
troublo in tills country is the fear that Con
gross will carry out tho Chicago platform
about tho tariff. That is tho groat troublo.
No sano man would now build a factory, no
sane man would build an audition to a
factory that ho owned ; no sano man would
manufacture beyond orders, and no sano man
would order if ho could help It. Tho tuanu
facturor fears a reduction in tariff, and tho
jobber hopes that thoro will bo, and
botweon this fear and hopo business dies. If
we know that nothing radical is to bo douo
about tho tariff, business would rovivo and all
tho wheels would whirl, and all tho stacks
would bo full of fire. I am afraid that tho
ti 11108 will bo hard until wo get a change of
Administration. This country has not been
very prosperous at any tlmo for tho last sixty
years under a Democratic Aumtnistranon,
Tho Democratic party seeniR to have
nrcjudlco against prosperity. I bollovo in
Protection and in Amoricau manufactures.
A farmer who sells wheat and corn will
uover pay his mortgago, hut tho fanner who
sells beof and pork aud horsos will. So,
nation that soils raw material will bo poor
and ignorant. It is bettor for us to sell
locomotivos than Iron oro furniture, rather
than lumber or logs clothes, rathor than
wool. Wo ato tho greatest manufacturers
and tho greatest consumers in tho world, and
I hope that wo may remain so."
Within tho past week tho political cam.
palgu has been in full swing. Systematic
work has succeeded planning and speculation,
all tho forces Ukoly to contribute toward
party success havo been brought into play
To-day candidates aro pursuing tho clusivo
voter with tho energy and persistence known
only to candidates. To-night the hunt will
end and, from present indications, tho hust
ling and bustling, hard work and oxcitoment
will result in Republican triumph. If there
is an element in tho situation that is
fav ruble to tho Domocrats It has not yet
been brought to light, and they aro lying
awake nights looking for such elements,
Tho semi-annual boast Is heard at tho various
Democratic headquarters, hut it has a hollow
sound.
Inconnectiou .viththounlversally recogniz
ed evil, known as tho "cramming system" in
voguo in the public schools, thoro is another
ono that Is just as injurious to tho pupils,
And that is tho rule compelling a ohild to
write words several hundred times, accord
ing to tho offence,as a punishment for wrong
doing. I do not sty that this mode of punish
ment is being pursued in our schools at the
present time. But I do know it was not
many months ago. It would not be out of
place for tho Superintendent to find out to
what extent this practice is enforced if at all.
The scholars have enough to besr without
the additional strain of writing words piled
up by tho hundreds. With their multiplicity
of studies in accordance with the present
"cramming system" in vogue with lessons.
reviews and examinations by the scores,
many a youth of vigorous constitution has
gone to an untimely grave from this very
oaue. The time for a change in this respect
is opportune, and the sooner it conies tha
better it will he for the educational aud
physical ooudltlon of tho youth of the
present age.

Tlio indiscrete Democratic friends of pros
pective Postmaster Mollet havo placed that
gontloman In a very unonvlablo light. It Is
now acknowledged oven by Illorstein's op
ponents that nlno-tcnths of the Polish anil
Lithuanian voters will oast their ballots for
tho cntiro Republican ticket to-morrow.
This fact has rawed the Democrat much
uneasiness, nnd compelled them to throw
their cntiro forcos in tho Mahanoy valloy
tho last days of tho campaign, aud to offer
tho Polish and Lithuanian voters anything
thoy dosiro if thoy will remain truo to De
mocracy tho party that has been feeding
them upon promises, and as yot failed to
fulfill ono of them. These people are now
promised two loiter carriers and a clerkship,
in tho ovont of tho appointment of Mr.
Mollet as postmaster. Any oue at all

such appolntmont, know full well that tho

two applicants who havo passed a successful

ment upon the first vacancy. There lias
been no vacancy sinco tho Introduction of

master's term will expire aud ho bo succeeded

B. R Severn, tho Republican caudldato for
Controller, is another would-bo victim of tho
"last card" fakirs. Certain olllcials of tho G.
& I. Co. in this district, It is said, aro using the
influence of their positions to defeat Mr.
Severn for Controller because ho opposed
their nefarious practico of compelling em
ployes of the company to deal at certain BtoreB,
nnd for failing to do so were threatened with
discharge. For the stand he took in this
matter, Mr. Severn has incurred the ill-will
of those olllcials, aud they are now trying to
turn votes against him . Every workingman

of speech and action, recognizes in Mr. Severn

He is a footing.
Tho first ono to bring tho report was a coffeo
peddler, who said that whilo driving to town
ho passed an ambulance and two spring
wagons which wero being hurried to tlio
Knickerbocker colliery, where several men
had boen injured.
Towards noon other parties got hold of tho
rumor and by that time its proportions had
extended and tho facts were represented
more definitely. Tho peoplo who talkod over
tho affair during thn later hours said an
explosion of gas had occurred at tho Kuickcr
bockcr colliery, that six men had been killed
and sovoral Injured.
Very naturally thoso reports causod much
oxcitoment, especially as tho parties circulat
ing them did not know tho names of tho
supposed victims aud could not say whero
thoy lived.
Tho scaro was caused by a mixing up of tho
ambulances this morning. At about 7 o'clock
Thomas Connors was injured at tho Indian
Ridgo colliery and tho ambulanco at that
place was required to tako him homo. At
about tho samo tlmo there was a call from tho
Knickerbocker colliery, at Yatesvillo, for an
ambulauco and tho message was transmitted
to tho Kohinoor colliery with a request that
tho spring wagon at that place bo sent, as tho
ambulanco was in uso.
Owing to somo delay, the spring wagon did
not respond as quick as was expected and the
officials at Indian Ridge colliery sent a buck
hoard wagon to Yatesville. A few minutes
later the Kohinoor spring wagon, followed
closely by tho Indian Ridgo ambulanco on
its return trip dashed up to tho colliery, and
those who saw tho thrco vehicles and their
rapid travel mado up their minds that somo
thiug dreadful had happened at tho Kuickor
backer.
Tho Connors accident is reported in an
other column of this paper. The nameof the
man injured at Knickerbocker could not ho
learned. Ho sustained a fracture of ono of
his legs aud was taken to his homo in Rob'
inson's patch, near Mahanoy City.

It Is little wonder that so many pupils grow
up miserable peuman, under suoh a system of
punishment. When a scholar is compelled to
write so many words because of disobedience,
It Is but natural that they should take little
pains with their penmanship, the object
being to get through with the task as soon as
possible. No care is taken to do the writing
neatly; it's a ease of burry and rush It
through, aud the result is a hasty, Illegible
writing at a period in life when every word
peuued should be written with neatness and
oare. Kefora the system, should be the
watohwoid of every parent. Oa.
