An article headed “X Protests’’ ap-
peared i in the Mahaffey Valley Wave
August 15th, which stated every thing
but the truth in regard to the operators
in Patton forcing their employes to
employ a certain doctor for medical
services. It states that the operators
. have employed a certain physician by
the month against the wishes of the
miners. The COURIER representative
inquired into the natter thoroughly
and learned that it was not so. It is
true that a physician has been indirect-
ly employed and that any miner who
wishes to secure ‘his services and pay a
certain amount by the month can do so
but is not compelled to. Another re-:
port is circulated that the miners are.
compelled to do their trading at a oer-
tain store in Patton which is not the
case at all. They can get credit at this
store if they wish and have the amount
taken out of their wages but, under-
stand, they are not compelled to do so. |
They have the privilege to go to any |
- store and get eredit if it will be given |
them. These reports have been going
the rounds ever since the mines in
Patton started and should have been
corrected before this time.
INCREASE OF CRIME.
Lamotte regular trots
appeared |
' with arms to enforce the functions of |
‘the government there would be war’
and 90 per cent. of the people would be .
arrayed against the regularly consti-
tuted authorities. That was the be-
- ginning of the talk of a revolution and
the press including all newspapers hav-
ing any pride in the great American
republic, with one accord put Debe
down ss an adventurer unworthy of the
following of one patriotic working man
or anybody else, and at once seconded
. every movement of the president to
" suppress lawlessness. That is the part
the press had in the affair.

PATTON BOOMING.
In speaking of the growing condition Ww
of Patton the Johnstown Democrat has
the following:
“Six months ago the streets of Pat-
ton, Cambria county, were mere strips
of land mostly covered with stamps:
and logs, with the exception of small
portions of Magee and Fifth avenues,
which were a series of irregular mounds
and mudholes. Today they have been
transformed into regular graded
thoroughfares such as no one need be
ashamed of. The principal strets
have been graded in the most thickly
settled portion of the town and miles
of streets have been made passable by
the removal of the stumps ind rubbish
and sidewalks have been laid in all
directions. Quite a number of new
buildings have been erected this Sam-
mer despite the strike - and Hard
times.’ : :

Snicide at Johnstown.
About 3 o’clock last Thursday morn-
ing Alderman William Bland, who for
15 years has been justice of the peace
‘and alderman in the Thirteenth ward
, of Johnstown, went to eternity with
with suicidal intent. He died before
medical aid could be summoned. Mr.
Bland was about 50 years ¢f age. Dur-
! ing his term of office as justice he bore
a_good reputation until about four
| years ago, or shortly after his election
‘as alderman, when he took to drink-
‘ing. During that time he acquired the
ill-will of a number of his ward poopie,
Statistics show that in 1850 one | And when he ran for re-election as
“person out of every 3442 was a crimi-
nal, in 1860 one in 1647, in 1870, one in
1174, in 1580 one in 885, and in 1860 one
in 757. In other words, there are.
nearly five times as many criminals in
proportion to the poupulation now as
there were forty years ago. To some
extent this increase is accounted
for by thé deputation of criminals
from other countries to the United
States, but the most plansible expla’
‘nation lies in the tendency of our pop-
alation to swarm into the cities and the |
exceeding badness of our municipal |
governments. The decrease of crime
- cannot be accomplished either by more
schools, as some reformers propose,
nor by more jails and reformatories,
as other and sterner philosophers sug-
gest. . We have distanced the world in |
building school houses and jails during
the years when crime has made its
most disheartening advances. How
: would it do to seek to arrest crime in
its hotbeds by reforming municipal
administrations? Until the control of
city governments is wrested from the
“hands of political partisans who have
no higher aim than personal emoln-
ment, crime will continue to be winked
.at whenever criminals can afford to
pay well for immunity.
THE CHAMPION SNEAK.
Eugene Debs says if there had been
a revolution at the time of the railroad |
strike it would have been the fault of:
the press of Chicago in particular and
the press of the country in general. It
is well to remind the readers of these
things that issue from Capt. Debs that |
_ he was the first party that talked of a
revolution. That was when he began
to fear the government would not al- |
low him to blockade the mails and the |
commerce of the land and tried the
“bluff game by Qeclaring that the |
alderman last March he was defeated by
a Republican candidate, Mr. Bland also
being a Republican. Shortly after his
defeat it Is claimed he attempted sui.
cide, but was unsuccessful, and about
‘a month ago made another attempt,
' which resulted likewise:
Beech Creek Mile Book.
The 1,000 mile books issued by the
‘Beech Creek railroad and sold at two
cents a mile are good for use all over
the Philadelphia and Reading railroad,
| including the Atlantic City line, and
are also good on the Central Railroad
| of Pennsylvania, and on the Buffalo,
| Rochester and Pittsburg railroad.
. These tickets, in connection with the
Beech Creek railroad’s excellent
through service, with the Reading and
other roads, give a rate of twa cents a
mile to a larger part of the State of
Pennsylvania and into New York °
state. The tickets, if issued to a busi-
ness house, are good for any member
of the firm, or an employee, and if
issued to the head of a family, are good:
for any member of the family, either
traveling singly or together. The
tickets are on sale at all Beech Creek
stations.

resembling bloody flux. The first thing
I thought of was Chamberiain’s Colic,

him sound and well. 1 heartily
recommend this remedy to all per-
sons suffering from a like complaint,
I will answer any inquiries regarding
it when stamp is inclosed. I refer to
any county official as to my reliability.

Women's Equunlity With Man.

barriers should be placed in her path.
Whether the ballot bé women's right
or not the privilege of post-graduate
study unquestionably is, and neither
she nor those who sympathize with her
must be content until this is opened to
_ ber in the fullest degree. By way of
conclusion a good way of bringing this
about may be suggested: Let it ‘be a
condition of fatare bequests or dona-
_ tions to the universities that they ad-
mit women to their post-graduate
