FREELAND, SEPTEMBER 12, 1889. |
THE people of Luzerne County are :
perfectly satisfied with the present
efficient recorder, and his renomina- I
tion by the Democrats is regarded as
a forerunner of the endorsement he j
will receive at the polls on November ;

A STATEMENT issued from the pen- j
sion bureau on Tuesday shows that !
on Juno 30, 1889, there were 345,125
pensioners on the rolls, an increase of j
144,000 in four years. At that rate
of increase there will be more pen-1
sioners in 1900 tban there were sol
diers during the war.
IT seems too good to be true, but it
is a fact nevertheless, that this cani
• paign so far has been devoid of the J
ungentlemanly and undignified meth
ods that characterized former con
tests. It is hoped that the change
has come to stay, and mud slingers
will be relegated to the rear.
THE drowning of eleven men in a
Colorado mine this week is another
pitiful illustration of the constant
dangers which menace those poor
toilers who work underground for our
benefit and comfort. They suffer so
much by man's injustice and greed
that nature might well take pity on
them.— Jit cor*/.
JOHN L. SULLIVAN is out with a let
ter signifying his intention to be a
candidate for congress from Boston.
John L. had better wait until the
Mississippi authorities are through
with him. Unless justice is cheated
ho will be "doing time" when the next
election of congressmen takes place.
Some other year, Mr. S.
THAT great national blessing, known
as the sugar trust, declared a quar
terly dividend of two and one-half per
cent, this week. We hope the protec
tionists are enjoying the pleasure of
paying to this monopoly an annual
tribute of ten per cent, on the cost of
every pound of sugar. And it will
be paid until every vestige of the j
tariff wall is broken.
THE confidence displayed by the i
Republicans after their county con-1
vention was held has been succeeded
by a very marked display of apathy J
and indifference. The spontaneous |
outburst of good feeling that greeted |
the Democratic ticket and the perfect
harmony existing within the ranks |
was a death-blow to all Republican j
hopes of carrying the county this fall. j
THE county commissioners of the
state meet in third annual convention i
at Allentown on the 23d of September.
The object of the convention is to '
ascertain the operation and construe j
tion of the general laws relating'
to counties j to advocate legislation
more uniform; to prevent waste and (
mismanagement in the administration ■
of public funds and generally to dis- j
cuss the duties and obligations of i
public municipal officers. The pur-1
poses are important and 110 doubt the
convention will be well attended.
THE location of the world's fair, to
bo held in this country in 1892 to
celebrate the four hundredth anniver
sary of its discovery, is as yet as
much a mystery as ever. New York
would have it but for one great dis
advantage. There is not vacant land
enough 011 Manhattan Island to uti
lize for a site. Money, men and :
brains can be had without limit, but
where to erect the buildings and
other necessary fixtures for the expo
sition is not known. Chicago's chan
ces of capturing the coveted prize are
getting brighter.
BY tin death of Congressman Sam
uel Sullivan Cox of New York 011
Tuesday the number of American 1
statesmen has been lessened and Dem
ocracy- loses one of its noblest anil
siucercst leaders. Mr. Cox's thirteen
terms in congress covers a career !
which any man might well be proud
of. He was one of the very few men
in public life against which the finger
of scorn or suspicion has never been
pointed. One of the principles which
lie believed in was tariff reform, and
for it he has always stoutly contended,
supporting it persistently anil consis
tently. None will miss him more
than the friends of this reform.
Subcribe for the TRIBUNE.
Very Important, If True.
In the last issue of the TRIBUNE we
condemned the unnecessary criticism to
which the miners' examining board of
this district was subjected, in relation to
the charges made for certificates and
registration. The board did not deserve
what some parties had to say of them,
hut another and far more serious com
plaint is now heard. Old and experi
enced miners have called attention to
the loose methods employed by the
hoard in ascertaining who or who may
not be entitled to a certificate of compe
tency. After a session of the board last
week in a town not far from Freeiand
these reports assumed a very unbecom
ing aspect and were not at all compli
mentary to the methods of the hoard,
which was censured in the most vigorous
language. It is alleged that certificates
were given out without tlio least sem
blance of an examination of the appli
cants, some of whom were unable to
speak the English language, besides
being utterly incapable of performing
the perilous duties of a miner. Many
who received certificates have not been
employed as miners or laborers for some
time, working at present as drivers or at
some other occupation around the col
liery. We are loatli to believe these
and other reports (some of which will
remain unpublished until nioie thor
oughly investigated), but coming as they
do from reliable men, there is reason to
think that the law as originally intended
is not being carried out. We shall keep
I a sharp lookout for any violation of the
act, either on the part of examiners,
workingmen or operators, and will ex-
I pose those whom we find guilty of trans
gressing any of its provisions. The act
1 is a good one, its intention should be
| fully carried out and workingmen owe it
J to themselves to see that it is enforced.
| The board should set itself aright on this
I matter. We have called their attention
to the reports, and would like to have
j them denied or confirmed.
Treat KmployeH Fairly.
I In the management of men there are
1 few who are fully competent to hold the
j proper medium between license and un
; due severity. No good is ever gained by
; I a system of bulldozing or attempts to
1 have one's own way at the expense of
1 right. The workman who performs well
his task and adheres to the strict line of
' his duty is as much entitled to manly
• and respectful treatment as the man
• I who employs him. The difference in
j rank gives the employer no right to snap
I and snarl at the employe as if he were
ii an inferior being; the one who assumes
• I such a right is most apt to be the infer
t ior; and not the man who is made the
• j subject of his ill temper. Of course
' | every man who employs and pays for
) j labor is entitled to the worth of Ins
1 money, and the conscientious workman
1 will always endeavor to give that.
When the employe does more than
what his duty strictly enjoins, and shows
- an enthusiastic intelligent regard for the
1 interests of his employer, he should be
• | rewarded therefor, at least by words of
3 | praise, if not in a more sustantial man
-1 ner. We know of employers who are
J always ready to note any over-sight or
shortcoming of a workman, and visit it
with the severest condemnation, while
they never think of increasing the man's
( pay, unless compelled to, or even of giv
-1 ing any words of commendation for j
" faithful service. Such a course is not
j only ungenerous but unjust and unwise.
; ! It discourages the workman and tempts
to unfaithfulness in the performance of
, duty. Further than that, it breeds an
i enmity between master and man that
1 never should be permitted to exist.
More Recruit* for the Grand Reform.
I Probably the most important accession
j to the ranks of the single tax advocates
during the past few months has been
the official organ of the Knights of
I Labor, the Journal of United Labor. The
- Journal is the leading labor paper of
! America and the influence it is capable
of bringing to hear upon the working
, people of this country is inestimable.
While the single tax cause is not by any
means depending entirely for support
upon the element the Journal represents,
yet their assistance will be most accept
able. The masses have been very slow
to recognize in this theory a remedy for
any of the existing evils, but after ex
perimenting with almost every conceiv
able reform with very poor success, they
are apparently opening their eyes to the
important fact that the foundation of all
1 necessary reforms is in taxation. The
present system of taxation, whereby
millions of dollars are annually taken
from the people indirectly and without
i their knowledge, is a standing monu
ment of injustice erected by the disciples
of avarice and greed. I low much longer
it will continue to rule the destiny of
i this republic is an unsolved question
"that the taxpayers and voters alone can
answer. It is the most unjust, unsatis
factory and unequal method that lias
ever been devised. It is unjust because
it allows the grasping speculator and
witholder of land to escape with the
payment of a comparatively small sum,
while the person who has improved his
j land, beautified the town by erecting a
home or business establishment, or who
lias in any manner added to the general
welfare and wealth of the community,
lie, the benefactor and to whom credit is
due, is rewarded by being compelled to
shoulder the lion's share of municipal
! and other taxes. That it is unsatisfac
tory can be proven by asking almost any
taxpayer. That it is unequal is a fact
too well known to discuss here. Every
owner of land in this vicinity knows the
taxes paid by him arc out of all propor
tion to that paid by mining corporations.
When a house and lot are assessed at
three times the value of an acre of coal
land it is the very essence of robbery.
11 u ' system is universally condemned,
more so elsewhere than here, for in
; ; other places men may speak their minds
without fear of having spies to report
\ their every word and action. The fear
I of incurring corporation displeasure has
been an obstacle in the path of this re
form, but the bulk of the work is now
being clone by men of business and pro
fessional pursuits who have no need to
fear such. The fact that those who
honestly have the cause of labor and
justice at heart have entered the ranks
is regarded as a very important sign of
the times and emphasizes the old axiom
that "the world does move."
Taxpayer* : I'leane Kea<l Till*.
The Harrison administration has given
an early proof of its capacity for reckless
expenditure of the public money. The
increase of the net debt over one million
dollars in July, though unexpected, ex
cited no particular attention because it
was thought to be due to an accidental
excess in current expenditure. But the
August statement, showing a further in
crease of over six millions of dollars in 1
the net debt, admits of 110 such explana
tion. Evidently we have reached the
end of the policy of retrenchment en
forced by preceding administrations, and
have entered upon a policy of deliberate
extravagance. It is true enough that
the money to be disbursed during the
current fiscal year cannot exceed the
amount appropriated by Congress. But
what was intended to cover the expenses
of a year may be in good part paid out
in six months. In pursuance of the Re
publican policy of resistance to tax re
duction, it is of the first necessity to keep
expenditure as far as possible in advance
of income. Profusion in the first half of
the fiscal year will bring on compulsory
parsimony in the last half. It is in the
last half that Congress sits; and it is
then that the clamor for more money
for fortifications, for war vessels, pen
sions, public buildings, ship canals and
Federal aid to schools will resound
throughout the land. Under cover of
I this contrived leanness of available funds
in the Treasury and of the vociferous
demand for a more adequate and liberal
expenditure there will be a grand raid
on the surplus. The surplus will dis
appear. Then it will be discovered that
there is 110 need of tax reduction or of
tarilf reform. The administration will
have paid the debt it owes to protected
monopolies by making it apparently
necessary to prolong and confirm their
clutch upon the pockets of the people.
It is hardly possible that this game, in
which the government descends to the
sharp practices of street speculators,
l should pass unobserved by taxpayers.
, They cannot be convinced that it is
> necessary that the expenditures for the
> two first months of the current fiscal
. year should be $1.5,855,978 in excess of
. the expenditures of the last fiscal year.
The difference between a careful econo
my of the public resources and a reck
less determination to compel a term of
extravagance is too badly apparent.
The whole matter is embraced in the
following comparative showing of the
decrease and increase of the public debt:
UNDER CLEVELAND.
July, 18H5— Decrease $8,(163,700
Aug., 1885—Dccreusc 2,870,052

No argument could add to the force of
the above figures, and no explanation
would serve to break the force of their
appeal to the people who make and
unmake administrations.—Philadelphia

Michael Davit( on the Land Question.
One of tlie last of the series of great
meetings addressed by Ifenry George
was held in Dublin. Michael Davitt, !
the greatest of the Irish patriots, pre
sided, and thoroughly indorsed the
single tax in the following address, I
which we reprint from the London |
Democrat. Everybody should read it.
The liotunda was thronged to its utmost
capacity, and when Mr. George, accom
panied by Mr. Davitt as chairman, made
hiß appearance, lie was received witli
the utmost enthusiasm. The chairman
said:
Fellow citizens, we are indebted to the
members of the National Club for provid
ing us with tliis opportunity of hearing
my friend Mr. George. Personally, I
feel very grateful to those gentlemen for
having, at my solicitation, undertaken
the task of organizing this meeting; and
my obligations are all the greater from
the fact that neither the club, as an
institution, nor its members, as a body,
are identified with the views which are
held by Mr. George 011 the land question.
Mr. George is welcomed by this meeting
because he is, first, an eminent Ameri
can citizen and secondly, a well known
advocate of Ireland's cause, irrespected
of when or by what means the Irish
social problem is to be finally solved.
Rut there are many present here to
night, and thousands throughout the
country also, who like myself, believe
firmly that the land of Ireland should be
the national property of its people, as it
once was —and not the patrimony of any
class or section of the community, as
English class legislation lias unfortuna
tely made it, and is still endeavoring it
Hindi so remain. Mr. Goerge will show
in his lecture this evening the justice of
national proprietory, together witli the
material ail vantages which such a system
would confer upon the non-agricultural
classes as well as upon farmers, the
workers and toilers in our towns and
cities. These are now compelled, under
an unjust system of taxation, to pay
duties and taxes upon articles of food
anil other necessaries of life which are
out of all proportion to the relative taxa
tion of ground rent and other landlords
who appropriate to tliemselves the pro
perty which the industrial community
creates in both town and country land
It is nothing less than n monstrous
outrage upon the word law that an Earl
of Pembroke, say, should bo allowed
to walk off with £OO,OOO a year in rents
[cvied upon the people and the industry
of a suburb of this city, when every
penny of this value has been given to
this land, not by the said Pembroke, but
by the people who live and toil in and
near this city. Then, again, we have
ground rent landlords here in Dublin
who walk off with tens of thousands of
pounds more every year, while the taxes
of the city are ten shillings in the pound.
Workingmen are prone to overlook the
manner in which they are compelled to
contribute out of scanty earnings to the
incomes on these privileged and titled
loafers. An artisan who earns, say a
pound a week, one week with another,
has not only to pay taxes to the state 011
his tea or coffee or cocoa, on his tobacco
and his beer or porter, he has also to
pay, in the same manner, taxes to the
ground rent landlords of Dublin on the
very same articles—on everything else
he eats or drinks, on his clothes and
upon his furniture. If you go into a
grocery store, clothing establishment, or
furniture warehouse in Dublin to buy
any of the necessaries of civilized life,
you have not only to pay the intrinsic
value of the article purchased, and what
will also bo a commercial profit on its
sale, but you will likewise be charged by
the dealer or manufacturer in proportion j
to the rent he pays for his place of I
business, which rent is largely regulated
by the ground rent that is exacted by
the landlord who claims to own the land
upon which the shop or establishment is |
built. In the same way wages are taxed I
|in the interest of the same class. A I
i factory or workshop always stands 011 j
I land that is thereby made valuable,
j The rent paid for such land is so much
J deducted from the earnings of the ern
j ployer, who, of course pays so much less
|in wages to the men employed. Thus,
I in everything we do in life in these
j countries we are taxed by laws that were
made by a class for their own benefit, 1
and that are in flagrant violation of j
natural right and justice. Mr. George is
an advocate of land laws that will be the
antipodes of the present system, hand
must be owned in the interest of indus
j try, and not for the benefit of idlers. Its
1 revenues must be appropriated for the
good of the community and not to sustain
i the pampered drones of the social hives.
Rent for land in city or country should
l>e devoted to the purposes for which
J farmer and laborer, artisan and me
chanic, professional man and merchant
j are now compelled to pay direct and in
direct taxation—namely, for the main
tenance of the state and the support of
tho poor. When that is done taxes on
the necessities of life will cease, food be
comes necessarily cheaper, and the em
ployers of labor will be better able to
. advance just wages to the workers, who
are the backbone of the entire social
system. I now have the honor of intro
ducing a man who needs 110 introduction
. wherever the language in which he will
address you is spoken: Ilenry George.
Correspondence From tlio Capital.
: J WASHINGTON, Sept. 11, 1889.
I The disagreement between Commis
• sioner Tanner ami the Secretary of the
; Interior has passed the pyrotechnic
, stage, and for all the present indications
1 of trouble that are visible to the naked
> eye it would appear that the previously
]! existing difficulties had been composed.
But the points in dispute between the
> officials cover such broad grounds that it
: cannot be assumed from outward appear
■ anccs that matters are less strained than
' heretofore. The explanation of the ex
isting quietude comes in a hint from the
Department of tho Interior, that the
J President has been greatly annoyed by
I the freedom with which details and pcr
j sonal grievances have been discussed by
the officials involved, and that all hands
I have been requested to do less talking.
Such a hint coming from the White
House would be equivalent to an order,
and very meager accounts of the existing
troubles are likely to hereafter reach the
public. Secretary Rusk is said to be
Commissioner Tanner's particular chnm
-1 pion in the Cabinet, and it is said he is
as earnest in having the Commissioner
' protected as Secretary Noble is to have
him retired.
A SUarKIRINIi ANNOUNCEMENT.
The announcement that the proposi
for a called session of Congress had
been negatived was of considerable con
sequence to a great many people in
Washington, and to none more than
hotel-keepers. Since the November
j election the indications have been in
j favor of an extra session being called,
and it grew to be a popular and undenied
I belief that October would find Congress
here. Acting upon this belief prepara
tions were made accordingly.
! But it is an ill wind that blows 110 one
good. On the House rolls arc hundreds
of Democratic employes whose heads
will fall in the basket as fast as the offi
cers of the next House can reorganize
J their forces. The employe on the annu
al roll has little or nothing to do when
| Congress is not in session. Those who
have nothing to do go to their homes,
and frequently engage in other occupa
tions, their monthly Balary coming to
them with the charming regularity with
which their Uncle Samuel pays his
clerks. An extra session would have
cut off this advantage, und the fact that
the decision not to hold one comes un
expectedly is equivalent to putting
! money in their pocket that they could
j not reasonably have hoped to receive.
POLITICIANS ON TIIE TRAIL.
"That is a pretty good barometer of
j the President's movements," said an ob
serving hotel clerk to me, as he pointed
to the open register. "You see it was
rather dull during the first part of the
| week, but now that the President is
j home the politicians have commenced to
J roll in at a lively rate. By to-night we
| will have another page full of arrivals.
When the President leaves there will be
a general thinning out about the hotels."
I TANNER WILL CERTAINLY GO.
It is rumored on the streets this morn
j ing that a change in the office of pension
commissioner will be made in a few
days, the relations between Tanner and
Secretary Noble having reached a crisis.
Tanner will offered an inferior position
and a Western man appointed instead,
Score one for Harrison! R.
Wortermelon Time.
Old worlermolon time is a-comiu' roundHK'in.
And they ain't no wuu a livin' any tiekied
er'n me,
For the way 1 hanker after worteriuelous is a
sin,
Which Is the why and wharefore, as you can
plainly see.
Oh, it's in the sand}' soil wortermelons does
the best.
And it's tluiro they'll lay and waller In tho
sunshine ami the dew
Till they wear all tho green streaks clean off
of theyr breast,
And you bet I ain't a-flnding any fault with
them; uir you?
They ain't no better thing in the vegetable
line:
Andl they don't need much tendin' as ev'ry
farmer knows:
And when theyr ripe and ready for ter pluck
from the vine,
T want to say to you theyr the best fruit that
grows.
It's some likes tho yallcr-core, and some likes
the rod.
And it's some says the little Callforny is the
best;
But the sweetest slice of all I ever wedged in
my bead.
Is the old Edinburg Mounting-sprout of the
West.
You don't want no punkins nigh your wotor
melon vines.
'Cause, some way another, they'll spile your
melons, shore;
I've seed 'em taste like punkins, from the core
to tho rines.
Whi'b muy bo a fact you have heord of be
fore.
But your melons that's raised right, and
tended to with care.
You can walk around amongst 'em with a
parent's pride and joy.
And thuinp 'em on the heads with as fatherly
a air
AB ef each one of them was your little girl
er boy.
I joy in my hart Jest to hear that rippln'
sound.
When you split one down tho back and jolt
the halves in two,
And the friends you love the best is gathered
all around.
Ami you say unto your sweetheart, "Oh,
here's tho core for you 1"
And I like to slice 'cm up in big pieces for 'em
nil.
Esponhnlly the children, unci watch thcyr
high delight,
As one by one tho rinos with theyr pink
notches full.
And they holler for some more with un
quenched appetite.
Boys take to it nutchural, and 1 like toseo'em
eat,
A slice of wortermelon's like a French-harp
In theyr hands:
And when they saw it through theyr mouth
such mutdc can't he beat,
'Cause it's music both the spcrit and tho
stummick understands.
Oh, they's more in wortcrinelons than the
purty-colored ment,
And theoverflowln' sweetness of tho worter
M|meshed betwixt
The up ard and tho down'ard motions of a
feller's teeth,
And it's tho taste of ripe old ago and juicy
childhood mixed.
Fer I never tnste a melon but my thoughts
tiles away
To the summertime of youth, and again' I
see the dawn,
And the fudin' afternoon of tho long summer
day,
And the dusk and dew a-falliu', and the
night a-comin' on.
And thare's tho corn ureund us, and the llspin'
haves and trees,
And the stars a-peekin down on us as still
silver mice,
And us boys in the wortermelons on our
hands and knees.
And the now moon hangiti' o'er us Ifko a
yaller-cored slice.
O, it's wortermelon time is a-comin' round
again,
Aud they ain't no man a-livin' any tickled

Fer tho way 1 hanker after wortermelons is a
sin.
Which is the why and whareforo, as you can
pluinly see.

Used His Hoy for Bait.
Keuka Lake, Now York, is twenty
miles long by two miles wido. Peun
Yan is at one extremity, Hammonds
port at the other. While making pas
sage across the lako a citizen of tho
former place related this story: Some
years ago a friend of mine, taking his
little son along, went fishing on this
lake. The boy was at tho father's
back in the stern of the boat. Soon a
violent splashing, accompanied by a
stifled scream, startled the father who
a moment later clutched the foot of
his son, just disappearing in the wat
ers of the lake. Pulling him aboard
lie also landed a salmon trout five feet
long, weighing forty pounds, with his
teeth firmly imbedded iu the boy's
face on either side of the nose. Tho
little fellow, lying on the seat, his
body half over the boat, was mirror
ing his face in tho lake. Tho fish
sprang up, seized him, and so lost his
balance. As quickly as possible tho
boy was taken home, a doctor and
photographer was called, and to-day a
picture of the boy with the fish attach
ed may bo seen in Penn Yan.
Electric Wire Fence.
An electric wire fence is said to be
causing considerable discomfort to
cattle of Texas. Recently, a Texas
newspaper states, a steer attempted to
break through the fence to join lifteen
other steers. "He had no idea,' 1 says
the Munchausen who relates the story,
"that he was tackling a buzz-saw
when he struck that smooth wire
fence. Well, sir, he jumped like ho
was hit at oneo by 40,000,000 hornets,
and with his tail coiled over his back
ho wheeled and only struck the ground
in high places. Then the fifteen made
a dash to follow him. Ono by one
they rubbed that electric fence, and as
fast as they did they jumped, bawled,
kicked, wheeled, aud sailod on as
though they had urgent business at
the north pole and bad only a few
hours in which to make it. The elec
tric fence is a stunner —it is the eighth
and greatest wonder of tho world.
Not oue of these cattle was hurt, but
not one of them will go near tho fence
again.''
