Ilranotis Why Sotiin l'snpl Think it Will aud Othora Think It Will Not-Tin Stock Yard, an Important Factor About Wa.herleii. An opinion prevails among some hero that should the strike now in progress among tho bituminous miners of the country continue it will boom tho an thracite trade and ninke the times better in this region. Indeed, it is said that many ot the operators of anthracite mines are preparing to increaso the out put in anticipation of large orders from the consumers of soft coal. One tiling is certain, whether the striko or tne bituminous miners proves to bo a long or short one, no effort of tho United Miuo Works will secure the co-operation of the anthracite miners. There aro two excellent reasons for tbi prediction. The nrst is mat wnen tne miners ot this re gion thought thev had themselves well enough organized to win with the co operation of the miners in other regions aim caneu tor mat co-operation iney were given the cold shoulder. The other reason is that they are too anxious for an oppor tunity to secure enough work to aid them in getting out ot tne dent wlilch the hard times have forced upon them and should they attempt to strike now It would be upon an empty ureau basnet, and no man can travel far on that. Most of the miners who hnvn hpnn spoken to on the subject nttach very little importance 10 me unanimous fctrlto They seem to think it will not be loni? enough to make any impression, good or uuu, uu mo auturnciie neius. A view taken by some is that the is not a coal mining companyin the country vtuiuu uus uuii nuupiuti a system oi STOCK' ing coal and has a good sunniv on hum! Before any demand will be made on tho anthracite companies the bituminous people will llrst draw upon their well- stociieu yarus ; ana snould they become exhausted, the first thing the anthracite operators wouiu ciraw upon would bo their stock yards, so that the lane which leads to tho miners Is a long onoand their is no occasion at tho present time for the anthracite men to dream of milk nnd honey. The ofllcials of Maple III11 colliery are in uign Kieu uver a uoistuig record made at that place last week. It is said to be tne best ever mnde in this region, equal circumstnnces being considered. On Tuesday of that week there were hoisted up the Maple Hill shaft, in addition to tne Hoisting ot men. seven hundred wagons of coal and fifteen of rock, nnd but seven and a half hours were required for the work. In the same time on Wed nesday, in addition to the men, there wcro noisieu seven Hundred and nmo wagons of coal and five of rock. The announcement that a capitalist has been looking over the culm banks in tlm vicinity of Shenandoah with a view to figuring on tho advisabilitvof securing nn option on the banks for the establishment or wnsherles was not hailed with delight by the miners who earn their Uvlnir dig ging coal. The washery to the miner is wnat macninery has proved to be to those who depend upon work done by hands for n living. Thousands of tons of coal turned out by the washeries are now be ing used dally in place of the coal which the miners turn out with the drill, pick and Bhovel, and which can be prepared whii me laoor oi ooys wnen tne machinery cannot do all the work. A washerv is a naving investment and them is a large market for its product, but inose wuo tninK it ueips tne coal diggers nre mistaken. The Lehigh Vallev Comnanv sent a large force of men from their collieries to work on the streets of Plains township In payment of the company's taxes. Among thorn were a number of unnaturalized Italians, but the Supervisor uromntlv sent them back with the message that "if the company wanted to work out their taxes, they must employ residents of the township and not 'dagoes,' who have no claim to citizenship." The Supervisor's action displays excellent judgment, and the freeholders of the township are loud in their praise of him. Fresh beer at Schmicker's. 104 S.

Much complaint Is heard In reference to tho condition of the roadway on East Oak street, between Main and Market. The street reminds me more of a puddle ditch than a public thoroughfaro of the largest town In the county. It is believed that thoro Is a leak U the water pipe somewhere In that Immediate neighbor hood. V The peddler nuisance Is at present being agitated by our citizens, especially tho business portion. It Is ccrtnluly a ques tion of much interest, In more wnys than one. However, it can hardly be expected of private citizens to ferret out violators of the law. What aro our olllcials doing in the matter f Are they making an eltort to arrest these Itinerant dealers f These aro questions more easily asked than answered. A few of tho ninny friends of Council man Kane, of tho First ward, are think ing very seriously of working up a boom for that gentleman in the line of legisla tive honors. I don't know that tho leader of tho Democratic majority in tho Ilor ough Council lias been consulted in the matter, neither do I know that he would accept the nomination if tendered him, but 1 can vouch for the statement that his friends have been thinking very seriously of persuading liini to allow his name 10 go ueinro tnu Democratic con vontioii in this Legislative district. With Finney nominated by the Hepubltcans, and the eloquence of Mr. Kane upholding the doctrine of free trade as promulgated by Grover Cleveland, the light would be a spirited one. Mr. Kane is nt present tho recognized leadeY of tho Democratic forces In the uestor of tho local Democ racy, the First ward, aud as a deliator uas tew equals within his party's rauks. Hesldes he has a strong personal following thnt would brine strength to tlm tlckpt. From a Republican standpoint, I would not like to see Mr. Knne nomlnnted. But If this district is to be represented by a Democrat1 1 know of none more worthy ur cuyaui man my inenu dames. Leading citizens of Pottsvillo are Inter. estedlna movement looking to tho or ganization ot a Henrv Clav club. It. is proposed to form like organizations throughout tho county, for the avowed purpose or teaching the doctrines or Henry Clay on' American citizenshin. the urn tectlon of American labor, products and industriei and the advancement of Ameri can ideas and prosperity. To this end tho organization will disseminntn tinllti- cal and historical knowledge by means of newspapers nooits and puuileillscussions The membership will embrace Henubli cans and Democrats who believe in pro- leuuuti aim juuericau ideas generally. Shenandoah is sadlr in need of such mi organization. Kach succeeding year ndiis 10 our population n cia9s tnat would lie greatly benefitted by the dissemination of American ideas among tiieir number. Give us a Henry Clay club by all means. If there is anything that this town is in need of it is a few more industries that win givo employment to home labor. There is nleutv of idle monev lav-lni. nround that could be Invested in this manner both to the advantage of the capitalist and tho borough in general. Let a few of our enternrlsiiiL' citizens tnkp advantage of the offer of Mr. Freeman, as published in vour naner a dav or two nun and add another means of employment to rnose industries already located here. There's not another town inthestnt that cau boast of better facilities for mnnu- iactunng enterprises than Sllennndonh. V Local politicians nro tnking much Inter est in the ltepubllcnn district convention, which meets in this town on Wednesday of next week, in Bobbins' hall. Tho delegates have been called together for tho purpose of electing one delegate and ouo alternate to the state convention which meets at Harrisburg next month. A spirited but friendly light is being mnde by the respective candidates keeking tho honors of the position, but to my mind there Is but one of them that ap pears to be "in the swim." Mahanoy City lias a triangular fight on hand, while Shcnaudoah, with its 20 votes in the con vention, is solid for genial James Will iams, nesiues, i am lniormed that he has pledged to his simnort sulllcient votes to carry oil the prize without forming any combinations. Shenandoah is justly entitled to the honor at this time, aud I krow of none more worthy among tho younger element of Republicans than my friend Wllllnms, who has labored In and out of Beason for the party, without ever having received recognition for faithful Earty work. I venture the prediction, owever. that ho will win in this light easily. HEX. Wo do laundry work for 800 customers every week.

Somo important changes were mnde at a recent meeting of the Board of Directors of the Schuylkill Traction Company, at Philadelphia, and they Indicate that If thnt company has not becomecousolldated with the Lakeside Electric Hallway Com pany it will very soon. One of the changes was the election of Dallas Sanders as president of the Trac tion Company, vice Hon. William F. Hnr rity, resigned. Mr. Harrity's many public duties require so much of his attention that ho was compelled to retire from tho ofllce. Mr. Harrity continues as a director of tho company. Another change was tho appointment of Kdwnrd W.

Mr. Ash will bo aided by As-lstaut Superinteudcntllumphrles, and it is said both gentlemen will have their headquarters at Mahanoy City after May 1st, that town being tho most central in the valley. Mr. Sanders, the successor of Mr. Har rity as presidentof tho Traction Company, and Messrs. .lohnnn nnd Hichards, mem bers of the Hoard of Directors of that company, nro the principal stockholders of the Lakeside Electric Hallway Com pany, so it can be readily feen that the step to n consolidation of tile two corpora tions is a very short one.

Sanders and Harrity, is composed of John A. .lohnnn, financial editor of tho Public Ledger, of Philadelphia; Mr. William B.
