THE INVBSTIQATION.
The anthracite investigating committee,
composed of members of tho Lcgislsture,
have visited this region in tbelr official
capacity, examined witnesses, ami the readers
of the IIimn hnve liecn lurniskrd with a
stenographic report of the 'testimony. This
couiiii.tten Is composed of two Senators and
tli iee luenihera of the lower Ileum), nil tucti
above the average in intelligence, and who
apparently have an earnest ileal le to glean all
tho mformatiou possible an to the emiiMtlen
o; the miuu workers, with a view to sub
witling u remedy fur the present condition of
all'airs in this and other sections of tho state.
That there is sutferlng and want is ml
mitled on all sides. It was not necessary for
a Legislative lommittee lo take eviduuee to
ascertain this fiu-r. any uprcscutiitivo from
tho coal regions could i live furnished any
ninoui t of iiil'oruiation of this character, and
s.ivtd to the taxpayers of the state the ex
pense at'ciiditig such mi iutestigatlon as the
ouc now In progies. We tieliete that the
uioinb. rs tJ the committee as at present
unMilutcil.il... Iionc-t and capable and are
engaged In un eif-.rl. to uliun all the int'ur
niation owib.e, without ftHr or fuvor ; they,
however, are not -enpomiible for the ap
pointment of the coiuniitlee, and any failure
iu lliii iuvcligition nill not rest with them.
it w.H not the object of the promoters of
thii in esiig.itlou lo relieve tho distlesstd
miner tor the love they bore him; thoy taw
in the litile i-cheme a niee junketing trip and
nt the pumu time an opportunity to secure
political buncombe for themselves and
a club to u-e upon the coal companies at the
expense of tho taxpayers. Itut iu this tiny
failed, fur the reason that the prime movcis
were not named us members of the committee.
Tho expense will Le gieat enough as it is;
hut imagine, if you can, what it would have
been had the cll'urU of some of tho solons
boen successful in having a committee, of forty
appointed Instead of five, as at present con
stituted, with ahamuakiie and divons other
good things as the chief etpilpinsuts.
As wo have previously stated, tho members
of the committee are no doubt honest iu their
intentions, and should bo encouraged rather
than hampered in their cUbrts to alleviate
tho suffering of tho mine workers and those
dependent upon them. That tho commission
will apply every means in their power to
remedy tho existing stato of affairs, is
evident from the tono of interviews had
with members of the commission by a
representative of tho Hkimi.d. They know
very well that the prevailing dullnoss nil
over the country in every avenue of trade,
is responsible fur the hard times in the coal
regions, where the effect is last felt, and no
legislature, no investigating committee can
tako any action that will remedy this evil.
The evidence so far submitted to the com
mittee, so far as the cause of tho depression
of the coal trade is concerned, tends in one
direction namely, an overproduction, with
a surplus of labor. This fact was well known,
nnd it did not require an investigation to
bring it to the attention of the Legislature.
The sxplauation for the slack demand for
anthracite coal is easily furnished by the
statistics of production. In 1870 tho anthra
cite companies produced 10,188,101 tons of
prepared sizes, ou which most of tho profit
is secured, and tho production of bituminous
coal in that year was 15,500,000 tons. In the
ten years to 1880, pea and buckwheat, on
which there is little profit, was sold to tho
extent of 2.243, 721 tons, prepared sites to
87,000,000 tuns, and bituminous had more
than doubled tu 80,000,000 tout. In I860 pea
and buckwheat sizes had nearly doubled, and
iu that year 15,141,500 tons wore sold against
23,125,500 tons of prepared siztg, while the
bituminous production was 150,000,000 tons.
Taking Uiete faets into cunsideiatlon, tho
secret of the depressed condition of the an
th incite trade, upon which our people to
largely depend for a livelihood, is found in
the increased use of small sizes on which
profit is little or nothing, and the enormous
production of soft coal. The displaolng tf
the old prepared sizes by tho steam sires and
soft coal is increased by the use of gas and
electricity, ami this promises to con
tinue. This is what ails the coal trade, and
what has robbed the anthracite carriers of
their business.
As we predicted at the time the investigat
ing committee was appointed, their inquiry
has elicited nothing that was not already
known to the members of the Legislature
from this county, and more especially the
upper districts. They could, if they
bo desired, have furnished the memliers of
the legislature with all this information,
avoiding the expense ef a trip to this section.
The present session of the legislature tends
strongly to investigation!. no lantlutn four
now being engaged in their "arduous"
duties in different parts of the state.
Investigations in the past have borne little
fruit, and wu may exiwct no more from those
now iu progress, no matter how conscientious
the members of the committees may be.
It is to bo Imped that the line of Invest!
gation will teud iu another direction from
that pursued in Wahausy City, when the In
vestigators come to Shenandoah. Here they
will Hud say number of witnesses conversant
jvith the coat trade whose views upon the
subject may materially assist the members of
the committee.
if the legislators ejus devise seme way in
which to in.lu.' the companies to work their
collieries on full time, tbey will have reached
the root of all our trouble, and they will re
ceive the th.mkt of all fricuds of the work
iugmau Hut can they do it? So far no
remedy tiw been suggested by those who
have appeared before the committee. The
hitter, iu the words of t'liairmau Meredith,
", muiot make tho collieries go." If the
Legislature can regulate the law of demand
and niipidy tlirv may improve the preent
condition of albtii .
We are iilill of the opinion tint tho inves
tigation will elicit nothing that wu not al
ready writ known.

To secure a prompt and healthy digestion

At last the measure providing for
the erection of a new canltol building
has taken shape and passed the senate
prior to their last adjournment. This
bill provides for the erection of a new
state capltol building on or near tho
Bite of the old building at a cost of
$660,000, and no doubt with a few
amendments will stieedlly pass the
house, nnd the governor proposes to
attach his signature soon after It comes
Into his hands. It Is his Intention to
have a beginning made toward the
erection of a new state caoltol very
soon. An effort will no doubt be made
in the hpuse to Increase the number
of members of the commission by add
ing two from the house, but it Is very
doubtful whether the temper of this
body will suffer this to be done. The
house recognises no man as master,
and a spirit of great Independence la
a very marked characteristic. One of
the elements that give strength to this
influence comes from the Democratic
members, who stand In solid phalanx
and throw their weight to one side or
the other as they are satisfied as to the
value of the measures to be enacted.
The other factions find it necessary to
secure their Inlluence, and they have to
have some regard for the minority.
It is doubtful whether the house ol
representatives of this commonwealth
.was ever In better trim to secure for
the people wise and Judicious legis
lation than the present one. This la
becoming more noticeable each week.
It would be well If the senate were
similarly balanced. Too much smooth
ness characterises this body, and they
are accredited with passing about
every measure that comes before them,
Another bill to pass the senate
within the past few days was the Ham
ilton road bill, or senate bill No. 0, by
a vote of 41 to 0. This bill is growing
In popularity, and will pass the house
with a good sized majority. There
seems to be a strong sentiment devel
oping in Its favor in many of the coun
try districts. .
Electric railway legislation is now re
ceiving some attention. Two measures
in the interests of such enterprises were
favorably reported out of the commit
tee on passenger railways. The ono
authorizes electric and other rallroada
not operated by steam to carry freight,
while the other practically gives the
electric railways the right of eminent
domain. The object of these measures
is to avoid the Influences of the u
preme court decision, which has been
an obstacle to the extension of electric
roads into the country around Phlla
delphla,
The reform legislation that was
promised In the beginning does not
seem lo be In a very healthy condition,
ns the bills already Introduced In ref
orence to this aie not regaided with
special favor. Some of the members
who were thought to be frlendx of
these measures do not take kindly to
them. Unless there Is n decided change
In the rsentiment of the house there aro
none of the reform measures likely to
become Jaws.
Opposing nn Exciso Bill.
Although a meeting was held In tho
chamber of the house of repreBenta
tlves In the Interests of the excise com
mission bill, and a number of able at
torneys spoke In behalf of this meas
ure, their effortB seem to avail but lit
tie. The provisions of this bill
authorizes the establishment of a com
mission composed of attorneys, or per
sons learned In the law, whose duties
would bo to pass upon all bills as to
their legal form and constitutionality
before they are Introduced In cither
house. It Is feared that were this bill
to become a law there might a spirit
of favoritism develop, and In that event
only certain measures be permitted to
go before either house. It is also ob
Jected to on the ground that it tends
to increase the number of the officials
of the state, and thus add to the ex
penses.
Although several apportionment bills
have been Introduced, It Is extremely
doubtful whether there Is any legisla
tion effected In this respect during this
session at leaBt. The difficulty Is to
frame bills that would satisfy the ma
jority, as In order to make a fair appor
tionment some counties would neces
sarily have a reduced representation,
and this would Incur great opposition
from such districts.
The senate fire Investigating com

and criticizes them very strongly. But
the time has come when the doctor
must obey the tribunal before which
he Is cited to appear, as they have a
right to know of any knowledge or tes
timony he or his friends have to offer,
and he will not gain anything by with
holding his Information longer.

THE KENTUCKY SENATOR SHIP,
V Bribery Charge Which Is Indie
uantly Denied by Dr. Hunter.
Frankfort, Ky April 12. Yesterday
was a day of excitement In legislative
nlrcleB, on account of charges of brib
ery made In the senatorial contest.
Hunter's managers say that the next
few days will lay bare a plot to ruin
him, and that high and low politicians
will go up in the explosion. The story
of Gaines Is almost unanimously dis
credited heie. It Is believed by some
that Gaines had soveral meetings with
Wilson and Franks, but sentiment is
divided as to their motives. Gaines'
friends admit that he has exploited
himself unenvlably.
Dr. Hunter said today: "I am not
ready now to say what my plans are
In regard to exposing the outrageous
and Infamous assault upon me. The
matter, however, Is full of unpleasant
sensations yet to come for Borne peo.
plo. As I have to meet an immaculate
God, I never saw Qalnes In my life,
and was never In his house."
A conservative man on the Blackburn
side said: "The only effect of the brib
ery story would be to solidify the Hun
ter forces. What we have to fear now
Is that the Kold Democrats will think
It a part of a scheme of the Blackburn
people to prevent an election, a- ' that
they will Indirectly aid Ilun.er by
making a quorum."
The gold Democrats" assisted in
breaklrg a quorum today pending tho
action of the grand Jury In the charges
of attempted bribery against ex-Con-
grossman John N. Wilson, Hon. W.
Godfrey Hunter, Bepublican nomlneo
for senator, and others. The general
opinion here is that the grand Jury
will not return any Indictments against
the gentlemen accused of bribery,
CQiVlFORTAND KNOWLEDGE.
Sent freo by mall.
Set nsldo for twonty-four hourj a hottlo or
common glass filled with urine. A sediment
or settling indicates an unhealthy condition
of tho kidneys. When urine stains linen it
is positlvo evidence of kidney trouble. Too
frequent desire to urinate or pain In the back,
Is also convincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder aro out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
Thcro is comfort In tho knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kllmor's Swamp
Root, tho groat kidney remedy, fulfills every
wisli in relioving pain in tho back, kiduoys,
liver, bladder and every part of the urinary
passages. It corrects inability to hold urine
and scalding pain iu pawing It, or bad effects
following liso of liquor, wiuo or beer, and
overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to get up mauy times during the
night to urinate. The mild and tho extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. It stands tho highest for its won
derful cures sf tho most distressing oases. If

Washington, April 12. The recent ap
pointment of ex-Secretary Foster and
ex-Assistant Secretary Hamlin by the
president to assist in the negotiations
now In progress with Great Britain re
spec ting the Behrlng sea seal fisheries
Is Indicative that this long standlnp
diplomatic issue has at last assumed
grave importance, and that an oarnes'
effort Is to bo made to end the present
unsatisfactory state of affairs, or nt
least to place tho subject on such n
footing before the beginning of the
approaching season aB will prevent :l
from passing Into a more serious phase,
The trouble appears to have been
principally through the refusal of thi
British authorities to renew lost year
tho regulations requiring British vee
eels going Into the seal waters to place
their firearms under seal.

persons take them, thoy aro so effective that
