Offlcc, liirkbcck Brick, 3d floor, Centre Street. Entered at the Freeland Vostoffice as Second Class Matter. FREELAND, DECEMBER 5, 1889. Tlie stronghold of Connecticut Re publicanism, the city of New Haven, j held a local election on Tuesday, ami the Democrats have complete control again. The cause Riven is that the | Australian system of voting was used. ! THE new state of Montana does not i know what a nuisance a legislature I is. Both political parties have organ J ized separate houses of represents- i tives, but they will discover in n short | time that one is more than sufficient, j At least that is what Pennsylvanians j have found. THE civil service reformers who turned against President Cleveland ought to enjoy Assistant Postmaster General Clarkson's report that lie lias succeeded in making 20,000 changes j of postmasters in eight months as against 12,000 made by the Cleveland administration in the same time. THE Knights of Labor of Lynn have issued an appeal to the working- 1 men of the country for funds to alle viate the suffering among local work men, caused by the recent disastrous fire in that city. Lynn did its duty to the Lehigh miners two years ago, and, if possible, the favor should be returned. CONGRESSMAN OSBORNE is fully im bued with the spirit of nepotism that has cut such a prominent figure in this country during Harrison's reign. Friday afternoon his son, Jolm 8., was appointed consul to Ghent, Bel giurn, and the would-be postmasters of this district are wailing at the Hon.'s apparent neglect of their cases. NEW YORK newspapers have had correspondents through Russia for some time past investigating the re ports concerning that country. They must have told too much of the truth, as the Czar's press consor has expelled ilie reporters of the World, Sun, Times, Tribune anil Post. The Her ald is the only New York paper now allowed to enter Russia. IN restricting the output of their mines and fixing the price the anthra cite coal men are operating under tariff protection and getting the full benefit of a tariff of 75 cents per ton on coal Although there is no tariff on anthracite, the tariff of 75 cents on bituminous coal gives them control of markets that would be supplied with cheaper imported fuel but for this tax.— St. Louis Dispatch. SECRETARY NOBLE speaks out clearly on the subject of granting pensions to deserters or to soldiers dishonor ably dismissed the service. He re commends congress to pass an act prohibiting a pension to any one dis honorably discharged from the ser vice. Deserters are ruled out alto gether, as they are technically still in the service. Secretary Noble would have the pension list a roll of honor, as it ought to be. IT is not a pleasant thing to think of any alien being refused American citizenship because of his church at tachments, but the ruling of Judge j Anderson against alien Mormons np- ! pears to be fully justified by the ! nature of the oath to the church au-! thorities, which they are charged with having taken. That oath is opposed to good citizenship, and no man who lias taken it is fit to be made an ■ American citizen and voter. THE superintendent of the census, in an endeavor to make the educa tional statistics of the census of 1890 as complete as possible, proposes to go out of the beaten path and secure statistics of private as well as public schools. He has appointed James H. Hlodgett as special agent for the col lection of educational statistics. The ! public schools and colleges offer few difficulties as their reports are pub lished, but Mr. Blodgett has been directed to get statistics of parochial and private schools, however humble and a circular issued from the census office asks for lists of such schools or the names of single schools open in any part of the present school year, with the address of the principal teacher. NEW YORK having raised five million dollars (on paper) for the Internation al Exhibition of 1892 can go before congress on terms of practical equali ty with Chicago, so far as money guarantee is concerned, for, although Chicago is said to have more sub scribed, five millions afford a sufficient basis. The site question has also reached a stage where settlement can safely be promised, so that New York is ready to go before congress with definite promises as to what shall ho done in 1892 if the government should provide for an international exhibition in that city. Chicago has many friends, however, and the issue as be tween the two cities is doubtful, though New York has the advantage of the jealous candidacy of St. Louis, which may ultimately defeat Chicago. I The •'Tribune" to the ••ProgreM*." The postoffice puzzle is playing havoc I with the brains of the editor of the Progrcss. Blinded by prejudice he allows passion to rise above prudence, and, without the least regard to facts or the question at issue, gave vent last week to considerable gush and babyish twaddle. It was probably intended as a reply to our article, but, if such was its mission, . j it fell short of the purpose. As all are aware the issue began 011 the subject of postal changes, was turned by the Progress into a comparison of the two papers' political affiliations, and, being routed from the position taken on each of those arguments, the editor of our contemporary makes a change of base in a vain endeavor to lead the con troversy into a personal contention. IJrothcr lhickley no sooner cuinc to the place than he begun to receive public favor by be coming clerk of the town council, and he has gobbled every oflice within his reach and is no doubt ready for more. This is a world where every man must help himself, aud we are not envious, but to take the tone of our neighbor's articles we are sorry we cannot say the same of him. It is with such drivel as the above the Progress would try to retrieve its lost ground. If the council of Freeland borough deemed the editor of the TRI HUNE capable of fulfilling the position of clerk, and if the duties of that position have been faithfully performed, then let the Progress say no more. If the office has been neglected or mismanaged then the Progress has not been faithful to the public, for its duty would be to expose such negligence. Again, the citizens of this place saw lit to elect the editor as one of the Justices of the Peace and the Progress is challenged to give an example of that trust being betrayed. Those are the only offices we hold to day. They were held by us before the TRIBUNE existed and there is 110 neces sity at present to relinguish them. The Progress may not be envious, but its criti cisms and the motives which inspire them are thoroughly understood, prop erly appreciated and valued with exacti tude. "The brighter the moon shines the more the dogs howl," says the pro verb. It has been so since the beginning and will be to the end. But for all the baying of all the curs since the begin ning of time the moon has continued to shine serenely, and so it will be with ' the TRIBUNE. The Progress may direct its splenitic and frivilons shafts against the TRIBUNE or its editor, but it is well aware that neither can be harmed by them. Because we had the courage a few years ago to look up from our sur -1 roundings, and had also the confidence | in our ability to take the step that has j elevated us above the hardships and j dangers of a humble miner, which occu | pation we had followed within a mile of j our office for twenty-five years, because | we did this and it was the means of | placing us where we Btand to-day—a I competitor of the Progress —and because, I thank God, success has crowned our I efforts, the editor loses control of his | intellectual store-house and tries to show i to his readers that we are a "gobbler of ! offices" and envious of the Progress ' suc . cess. However, our record during a | quarter of a century's residence here is | sufficient to dispel any suspicion of be ' j ing in the gobbling business, and as for the tone of our articles denoting envy j we defy the editor of the Progress to i state a single instance in which we have, j through the TRIBUNE or otherwise, done j anything to warrant that assertion. The | Progress knows that for many years it | had no better friend than the writer, whose motto is "Live and let live," but how quickly its friendship was changed j to jealousy after the first issue of the ' TRIBUNE. And now, after nearly two i years of careful nursing, the green-eyed i monster has arrived at maturity and | appears to have been installed as the presiding genius of the Progress sanctum. And what a change it threatens to make in the columns of our contempor ary. This journal that "has always had a good word for everybody," that "minds ; its own business," that "never tackles anything it doesn't understand," that 1 "built up Freeland," that "helped to j place everybody in a flourishing condi tion" and "to whom the town owes an everlasting debt of gratitude, I 'this quiet, conservative, self-constituted essence of j nicety is suddenly converted into a j mouth-piece through which its editor may give publicity to the private ani- : mosity that seems to have taken posses-1 sion of him, because we dared criticise i Ins claim to the post mastership of Free- j land. As we have stated before, our light to i give our opinions on any article that : may appear in any newspaper will be j enforced every time we feel so inclined, but criticising an editor personally for principles publicly expressing is not in our line of business. We acknowledge the Progress our peer in that respect, but in no other. The TRIBUNE is a fearless newspaper and it is not necessary to subject it to a microscopic examination to obtain its opinions. They appear in each issue and the fact that the TRIBUNE appears with them is sufficient to assure j us that its policy meets with public favor and respect. There have been instances where the TRIBUNE has made mistakes, for we do not claim infallibility, but we do claim that we have had sufficient j ( manhood and self-respect to acknowl | edge the fact the very few times we , have erred. As to the charge of exag-! geration, villifying or grasping the editor | of the Progress stands sponsor to a delib- ] crate falsehood, and he is again defied to give an example in any of our articles. The files of the 'I RIBUNK are always open j and we court inspection. If the Progress wishes to continue this or enter upon another controversy it! may do so by being consistent. I)o that 1 and the TRIBUNE will be found on hand every time for the discussion of any i subject of public importance, local or otherwise. Personalities will be treated - as the y deserve—with silent contempt. ' Principles will receive our attention ; -'dways, but if we are unable to defend , them or find ourselves vanquished in an • i argument, we will be ready to acknowl- edge our opponent's superior position on the question. This the Progress was not manly enougli to do and we leave it with its desire to inaugurate a backward step, viz: a mud-slinging contest. K. of L. unci Farmers' Alliance. The present is an age of great combin ations of capital. Trusts and consolida tions are the order of the day. "In union there is strength," is the motto of wealthy investors. The wage-workers whose capital is not money, stocks or bonds, but muscle, skill and labor, are slowly learning the lesson of combina tion. First came the trades-union which' organized the members of the same craft. But time showed that the trades union could not cope single-handed with the power of capital, and then arose the Knights of Labor—an organization that aims at the union of all hand and wage workers. Meantime the farmers, find ing their interests threatened by mon ster aggregations of railroads and other corporations, became alarmed at the drift of affairs, and formed an Alliance, which has spread over nearly every state ! in the union. Now, the Knights, find ing their aims and objects in protecting their interests and purifying the govern ment, to be almost, if not quite, identical with those of the Alliance, have pro posed to unite with the latter and nego tiations are progressing between them which give every promise of success. The Knights and other alliliated organi zations when re-inforced by the Alliance will have at their command some three million votes and their intention is to make their influence felt in the law making bodies at Washington and the capitols of the different states. A right ful cause, backed by three million votes, would soon retire the corrupt politicians of both parties to private life and would once more place the Republic upon a solid foundation. The vampires who now fatten by sucking the life-blood of the mass of the people would be shaken l off, and the men who buy up legislatures | and grind the poor would find them- j selves powerless for evil.— lrish-A merican. A Bitter Hater. Old Sam Johnson said he loved a i "good hater." Hut he did not have in | mind, a malicious hater. A Chicago i Tribune editor who headed a telegram j announcing the illness of Jefferson Davis 1 "In the Last Ditch—The Arch Rebel at j the Point of Death," is not a good hater | —he belongs to the unreasoning, malig- j nant and rabid class. The Tribune man j speaks in such terms of the great South ern leader simply because he was the j president of the confederacy—the head and front of the Southern people. Is this the way to speak of a gallant I soldier, whose sword opened the path for civilization in the northwest, and j aided in carving out our magnificent empire wrested from Mexico? Is this the way to describe the illness of a j patriotic statesman whose whole life was devoted to the service of his people? Fortunately there will he few such ! utterances to record. The lofty ideals, I the clean methods, the fearless courage 1 and the noble life of the grand old man, j who is now serenely awaiting his final summons, will silence the idle babble and chatter of the ruthless foes who have been so active since he was dis armed. When Jefferson Davis dies the general and spontaneous tribute of the American people will drown the dis cordant notes pealed out here and there by a few savage trumpeters.— Atlanta Constitution. < m [ I Their Claims Are 111 j list. It is somewhat gratifying to see a j Republican organ like the Wilkes-Barre Record speak out against the payment of I unjust claims for border raids during the war. "The claims of certain Pennsyl vania citizens," it says, "are being push ed with renewed vigor. The invasion of j our state by the Confederate forces done serious damage to some of our citizens, and it is but natural that they should } wish to be reimbursed. Although this was over a quarter of a century ago, the j attempt is being made to got the losses ' paid from the United States treasury, ! \ on the ground that it was the duty of the government to protect the several 1 states. The evidence, however, is that ; the government was hustling pretty | lively and was guilty of no culpable ncg | ligence. Private individuals under sim ilar circumstances would not he held I liable. To pay these losses would be to | set a very bad precedent, for the claims are such as might he duplicated many ■ times and the treasury would hardly hold out. It is better to look at the matter as one of the results of the haz ards of war, and let by-gones remain such. I'owderly on Protection. General Maßter Workman Powderly has been very slow to discover that he was a blind guide in trying to make workingmen believe that wage rates are j dependent in anywise upon tariff rates. But he must haVe the credit for honest renunciation of error now that his past mistake is apparent to him. Nothing could be more frank and manly than the following declaration of Mr. Pow ! derly, printed in the New York Herald: i I'm not talking tariff this year, but it seems to me that the policy of protection is a wrong on labor. The labor classes are not protected—only the manufact urers. The rich receive the protection. The American manufacturer adds the duty to what should be the natural and fair price for his product. The burden of the tariff rests its crushing weight I upon the poor. The tariff needs reform j ing. It is the poor, the great mass of the people, who need protection, and they i will never get it under the so-called policy of protection. Joe Scranton IH Jealous. Hon. Eckley B. Coxe is urged as the proper man to represent the anthracite coal industry at the World's Fair in 1892. A big chunk of anthracite coal would j answer the same purpose.— Scranton Republican. AUSSIM; LINKS. The Order of the King's Daughters | now numbers 97,000 active members. One man in western Australia owns and controls nearly four million acres of laud. A writer iu UlackwooiVs Magazine ligures that ancient Rome had proba- j bly 4,000,000 inhabitants. The most exciting art topic in New | York at present is whether kettles and big onions are art subjects. A young lady at East Nottingham has discovered a turtle which bore t:ie iuitials, "Th. T., M aud date "1771." The Junction City Republican says that within three years Kansas will be able to supply sugar for the on tiro West. A Boston company is trying to intro duce wicker-work coffins. Tlioy claim, from a sanitary point of view, uothing can equal them. The following notice is posted at an industrial establishment in Quaker town, Pa.: "No loafing here. Em ployes do enough. A cane consisting of 5,801 pieces has just been made and presented to a friend by William Shaeffor, of Linlield, ; Montgomery county. Pa. A gypsy fortune teller informed a Pennsylvania girl that if she wasn't married by the time she was twenty one it wouldn't be her fault. Mrs. Beck, an old lady in New York, was so startled by a boy throwing a dead cat at her that she was stricken with a lit of apoplexy and died. It is said that on the inside of a ring owned in Atchison, Kan., is engrav ed the following: "T. and 11., betroth ed April, 1884; divorced May, 1888." J The news of Chinatown in New York is affixed to a big telegraph pole, and the residents are much alarmed at an order of the removal of poles from the streets. A young woman at Riucon, Cal., has begun a suit for $1,500 damages against a rancher for kisses that she says were forcibly inllicted upon her by the defendant. The president of the Spanish-Amer ican Union, which includes 1,100 mer chants, says that South America's ex ; hibitat the world's fair iu 1892 will be most elaborate and extensive. Several of the largo land owners of Scotlaud have imported a number of reindeer from Norway and turned them out in the hope thai they may become acclimated and increase. | A Cincinnati man called for the jury modestly confessed himself the father !of live pairs of twins, all alive and healthy. lie was promptly accepted as an experienced ju Ige of humanity. ; Major W.

The snake is a . very rare reptile in that section, this being the second one ever kuown to have been captured. A letter box has been placed in the topmost stage of the Eiffel tower at the Paris exhibition, aud postal cards j sold there bear a printed indication of the height at which they are posted. Hundreds of persons write to their friends from this lofty perch daily. The absurdity of applying the title i "Mister" to all sorts of men, on all sorts of occasions, is well illustrated iu a recent issuo of a southwestern paper, in which it was declared that "the late Mr. Hauk Brown was hang ed yesterday in the presence of a largo and interesting audience." A stove manufacturer says: "It is a , curious fact, proved by forty years' | observation, that tl e stove trade moves in cycles of eleven years, each made up of four years of upward ten dencies in prices, followed by a down ward sweep of soven years. We are now ill one of the latter periods." A remarkable instance of long con tinued service iu the employ of a sin gle concern is furnished iu the case of | Smith B. Freeman, who died recently 1 on Slaten Island at the age of eighty two years, after having been continu ously employed by the Staten Island : dyeing eslahlishmeut since its organi zation iu 1819, a period of seventy j years. It is asserted on the authority of a clergyman at Chattanooga that on the top of White Mountain, in North Car olina, are three trees of the eacboin species, about fifteen foot high, grow ing closo together, whoso tops are in terwoven so completely and flat that a i number of persons can walk on them with case. The tops are übout twenty feet iu diameter. A British naval officer lias devised a method by which boats may be pro pelled without the use of oars. It con sists of a screw propeller worked by ■ hand, which will enable a boat to bo | driven by any one, although unac quaiuted with rowing. In case of a I shipwreck it would bo of great value, as passengers could muuage a boat without the aid of sailors. | The "niokol-in-tho-slot" idoa has ; been applied in England to electric ! lamps intended for use in omnibuses, I street cars and railway cars.

I Slowly the great falls of the Niagara i River are changing in shape, through | the eating away of the shale rock i which underlies the hard rock that 1 forms the bed of the rapids. It is al | most a misnomer now to speak of the ; Canadian portion of the great cata- I ract as the "Horseshoe Falls," and | within a week this designation has be- I come more than ever misplaced in consequence of the fall of a large sec j lion of the bed rock iu the very center iof the falls. So much rock fell that the eddy below the lulls near the Cana diun side of the river has been narrow ed more than half, and the little steamer Maid of the Mist has less dif lieulty than before in running into the curve of the falls. The rapid progress of invention and of notions of size in these modern days is illustrated by the fact that all the European steamship conipauies are petitioning New York City to lengthen out her docks, which are totally insuffi cient for the new monsters arriving daily. The City of Rome, the City of Paris, the City of New York have long been inconvenienced aud endangered by the shortness of the docks. The other day the Normandie had to an chor in midstream because the current was carrying her upon the unprotect ed City of Koine. In a short time the White Star Line will be sending to New York the Majestic and Teutonic, and the French Lorn the Touraine, all of which are much longer than any heretof ire built. These, with the new German monsters, make up a lloet so numerous that their owners are in a position to demand the dock improve ments so much needed. Steamships 600 feet long will soon be common. Karly Western Journalism. When William N. Byers, the Colo rado pioneer of journalism, first start ed in to print the Rocky Mountain News he had a pretty tough time of it, aud experiences lively enough to suit a Uto Indian agent, says the New York Graphic. News was plentiful enough, and it was not generally supposed that the press would make auy editorial at tacks upon the citizens of Auraria, as Deliver was then called; so one day when By era found fault editorially with the killing of a Mexican by Charles Harrison, a gambler, the hit ter's friends, fully armed, gathered about and made an attack upon tlio lo<£ house occupied by the News. The editor and bis reporters and type-set ters were so surprised at the sudden ness of the attack that they did not have time to make any resistance. Editor By era was takcu a captive to Harrison's saloon, called the "Criter ion." The crowd wanted to kill him on the spot, and knives aud pistols were tlourished in his face. Harrison had once been a Mason, aud knew that By era was a member of the fraternity; so, under the pretense of taking him iuto a side room to talk, lie got him out of the place altogether. By era was plucky enough, for he ran for his office, and, arming all hands, laid low for the enemy, who came hist enough, and a lively combat took place and one man was killed. It was just about this time that the Hon. Joseph Woll! of Boulder, Col., who was a good printer and a handy man about an office, arrived in town from Omaha via a freight train. He was dead broke, and made at once for the Acivs office aud asked for the boss. Byers, seated on a barrel, was pointed out to him. "Want any hands?" asked Joe lean ing against the door. "That depends," said Byers, with out looking up. "Depends on what?" "Can you shoot?" "You bet?" "Will you?" I "Of course." "Well, then," said the editor, get ting off the barrel, "there's a l ille and there's a case—go to work." "What'll I do first," asked Wolff, kill somebody or throw in a ease?" Byers went to the window, loaned out, looked up and down carefully, i and then turning back said: "I guess you'll have time to throw ; in a handful." Just about this time the office was in a state of siege, and to write aud print what Byers wrote and printed at j that time required a greater amount of moral courage, or what is more ' commonly called nerve, than is pos sessed by journalists of the present day. ! Many threats were made and more than oue combat took place, but the editor came out ahead, and always stuck to the paragraph iu his saluta tory, which read: "Our course is marked out. We will adhere to it with steadfast anil lixod determination to speak, write, aud publish the truth, aud nothing but the truth, lot it work us weal or woe." POPPING THE QI ESTION. When in the course of human events, a young man makes up his mind to ask the very important question, he finds great difficulty in coming to the point. As we are not at all bashful we boldly say: Will you not answer yes to us, as we ask you to go to your druggist or dealer in toilet articles, and purchase a bottle of Vail Brothers' Ideal Tooth Powder, the best made. As an inducement for you to try it, we give you a handsome engrav ing with two 25 cent bottles, 20x24, no advertising on it. There is a ticket around the neck of each bottle. Have used your Ideal Tooth Powder for quite a while, and consider it second to none for purity and pleasantness. There is no better; I take pleasure in recom mending its virtues to all my friends, and so long as you manufacture such a delightful powder as the Ideal, you shall have the benefit of all I can do for you. DR. G. B. SWEENY, Pittsburg, Pa. We can thoroughly recommend Ideal Tooth Powder to our readers. We find it highly endorsed by the Dental profes sion, as being free from all injurious material; no grit, cleansing the teeth per fectly, imparting a pleasant, refreshing condition to the mouth.
