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.

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.

The rapid progress of invention and
of notions of size in these modern days
is illustrated by the fact that all the

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

was carrying her upon the unprotect

White Star Line will be sending to
New York the Majestic and Teutonic,

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. Has received
four medals, the highest each time. Wo
advise our readers to read the advertise
ment elsewhere in this issue, and give it a
trial.
