C'oxe comes out strongly in favor of tnrill' reform, civil service reform, bul- I lot reform, favors Cleveland for the j lender in 1892, and will not obtrude himself upon the Democratic party as ; their candidate for governor this fall, j Is the millennium about to come ? EX-CONOKESSMAN SCOTT makes the | welcome announcement that he will j keep out of the coming Democratic gubernatorial contest, owing to the antagonism displayed against him bg labor organizations. Scott and Coxe were getting the Democracy of this j state in their grip, and now that both have been compelled to step down the campaign may open under more nus pacious circumstances than existed a month ago. THE recent disastrous cave-ins throughout the Wyoming region have attracted attention again to the fool liardiness displayed by many oper ators or leasers of coal lands in work ing their mines in such a manner that nearly one half the coal must be left in the ground, while the surface is dotted with hundreds of unsightly mine holes. Millions of tons of coal 1 are lost by this system, which is prompted only by greed and avarice. THE Pittston Times has character-1 ized General Osborne as the "mum mified congressman." It now appears that he is about to waken up, and the introduction by him of a hill which is designed to prevent future candidates for congress from spending any money with the intention of influencing the vote of a person is proof that lie is at least alive. Osborne knows what it takes to foot the bill for influencing the voters of this district and he prob ably wishes to guard against it for the next time. TUE adoption of the Australian sys tem of voting may eventually be the cause of dividing both parties. The fact that it is opposed by boodle poli ticians like Matt. Quay, Governor Hill, Senator Gorman and a few others who are in politics for revenue only gives force to the old proverb that "birds of a feather flock to gether." This or some other such iiuestion should be used to drive the leeches out of the two parties and place them together where all could tell at a glance what thev are. The result would be beneficial to Demo crats and Ilcpublicans. A SPECIMEN of the bills with which congress is flooded is the one intro duced on Monday by Senator Cullom authorizing the secretary of the treas ury to lend money to farmers at two per cent. But why lend it to farmers and not to other people? There are a good many who do not know a rake from a harrow, who would like to g< t money at two per cent, just as much ! as any farmer. The farmer no doubt! needs it badly enough, considering I that he is not benefitted by protec tion, but if Uncle Sam is guing into ! the money-lending business let all classes have an equal grab at the sur plus. THE impartiality and fearlessness of that famous tariff reform advocate, the Philadelphia Record, was hardly over better illustrated than at present. It is working manfully for the Read ing Company's elevated road, because that will benefit Philadelphia and its people, and on the other hand it is j unsparing in its denunciation of the j same corporation, because it is en- j gaged in concocting a gigantic steal of $7,000,000, which Corbin's com- | pany asks that city to pay for the j privilege of taking their water supply . from the Schuylkill river. Philudel J'hia has no better watch-dog than the Record. IT is one of the possibilities of 1890 i that Pennsylvania may elect a Demo cratic governor. A large element of . the Republican party is preparing to I , throw off the Quay yoke, even though ! it must be accomplished by sacrificing ' . the highest office in the slate. Sen ator Delamater is Quay's aeknowl { , edgd candidate, therefore Senator Delamater must be accepted by the | Republicans. An uprising against 1 one-man power, however, is threat encd, and prominent Republicans in j all sections of the state predict an j independent Republican candidate. They state this step is absolutely necessary in order to overthrow the j famous boss' power. A repitition of j the struggle of 1882 is more than ! probable, and it behooves the Demo i cratic party to place, as a candidate I against divided Republicanism, a man j that will command the hearty support I of every Democrat in Pennsylvania. I { a!I tlle names yet mentioned for this honor none have been looked upon more favorably than that of Ex- Governor Robert E.l'attison of Phila delphia. Pennsylvania never had a | more courageous and honest chief j executive than the man who led the party to victory in 1882 and who can do the same in 1890. subscribe for tbe Tiubvxe. Olio C'aiifte of the Coal Stagnation. Eleven months ago the TRIBUNE called attention to the fact that a vast amount of money was being lost to the anthra cite coal operators, and also to their miners, by the large trade which was diverted from them during the strike of 1887-'BB. Unable to obtain the neces sary amount of anthracite to run their mills and factories many manufacturers turned their attention to bituminous, and the result was that when the strike ended the operators found they were without many of their largest consumers, bitu minous havingdone the work just as well and as it was much cheaper than anthra cite, it crowded the latter out of many ' markets. We based our statement then I upon a remark made by an operator of ' | this vicinity that had he "known what j the consequences of the strike were to ; be, he would have granted the 15 per j cent, advance the day it was asked." The majority of the operators were ad-1 verse to acknowledge that, though they j had beaten the miners, they gained nothing but lost much, and tried to find comfort in the hope that the trade would be recovered in a short while. The fol | lowing paragraph, taken from the coal report of our last issue, which is obtained , from the coal agents of Philadelphia by the financial editor of the Ledger, proves that the operator above referred to fore saw the truth sooner than the rest of his brethren: During the strike anthracite for steam and some manufacturing purposes was largely displaced by bituminous coal, i either 011 account of the excessive price < asked for the former or the inability of the sellers to guarantee a regular supply of fuel. Now, to their regret, the an thracite operators find that the buiness, which was then, as they thought, but temporarily diverted, lias been perma nently weaned from them. The operators long ago gave up hope of recovering the lost trade, but this is their first public acknowledgement that they had been harboring a delusion. The attempt made last summer to build up a Western trade for their surplus an- I thracite was not as successful as expected i and in some instances has been aban i doned, although the larger corporations i continue to place the hard coal on sale j wherever an opening presents itself. Just now the West seems to be the only hope and if successful in making a gen eral introduction of anthracite there it ! will help considerably in alleviating the dull times of the coal regions. Will It lie Cleveland and Itlaine Again? An exchange sums up the political puzzle of 1592 in this manner: It is a far cry to 1892, but it is being made. The discussion regarding possible or probable candidates is daily growing more general, and those who stand first in it are James G. Blaine of Maine and Grover Cleveland of New York. The former stands now where for years he i has stood, the most brilliant and beloved leader of the Republican hosts. The Democratic party, both through its plat form and candidate of 1888, committed itself to the policy of revenue reform, and to that policy it is more bounden to day than it was at any previous time in its history. In fact, it supports it with ! surprising vigor and consistency, and, 1 consequently, ex-President Cleveland, who, in his famous tariff message, build ed the foundations for the last Demo cratic platform, is the natural and inevit able leader of his party. Day by day he evidently grows in the estimation • and affectionate regard of the great masses of the Democracy. lie is feted and honored and his opinions are sought by not only those of his own political following, but by many of those of the most pronounced Republican fealty. His popularity is greater than it was i ever before, and the probability that he | j will be the nominee of his party in the 1 next presidential campaign is exceed | ingly great. The Single Tux lirlelly Explained. j The single tax contemplates the aboli-! | tion of all taxes upon labor or the pro- 1 j ducts of labor—that is, to say, the aboli- | j tion of all taxes, save one tax levied on j , the value of land, irrespective of im-1 I provements. j Since in all our states we now levy j I some tax on the value of land, the single \ j tax can be instituted by the simple and ! easy way of abolishing, one after an- I other, all other taxes now levied, and | commensurately increasing the tax on | land values, until we draw upon that I one source for all expenses of govern i ment; the revenue being divided be j tween local governments, state govern j ment, as the revenue from direct taxes | is now divided between the local and state governments, or a direct assess ment being made by the general govern ment upon the states and paid by them from revenues collected in this manner. The single tax is not a tax 011 land, and therefore would not fall on the use of land and become a tax on labor. It is a tax, not 011 land, but on the value of land. Thus it would not fall on all land, but only on valuable land, and on that, not in proportion to the use made of it, but in proportion to its value —the premium which the user of land must pay to the owner, either in pur chase money or in rent, for permission to use valuable land. It would thus be a tax, not on the use or improvement of land, but on the ownership of land, taking what would otherwise go to the owner as owner, and not as user. In assessments under the single tax, all values created by individual use or improvement would be excluded, and the only value taken into consideration would be the value attaching to the bare land by reason of neighborhood, etc. Thus the farmer would have no more taxes to pay than the speculator who held a similar piece of land idle, and the man w ho, on a city lot, erected a valuable building, would be taxed no more than the man who held a similar | lot vacant. The single tax, in abort, would call upon men to contribute to the public revenuea not in proportion to what they produce or accumulate, but in proportion to the value of the natural opportunities they hold. It would compel them to pay just as much for holding land idle as ! for putting it to its full use.— Justice. Tlie Danger of Cave-ins. There have been many examples of | late years of dangers run in the coal J regions tlirough reckless mining in cut ting unduly near the surface. This "robbing," if carried on long enough, can have but one result: the caving-in of the earth crust with consequences more or less disastrous, but entirely in defensible, however viewed. No com pany or private mine owner has a right to endanger the public in that way nor to carry on their subterranean work ex cept under the direction of careful and competent engineers. It is known that there is great popular uneasiness from this cause in many points in the coal fields, and with apparent good reason. It is shameful that ignorance or greed should be permitted to goto such lengths. —Pliila. 1 elegra<ph. It is hardly possible that the Telegraph is Ignorant of the make-up of the men and corporations that rule the coal fields of Pennsylvania. What need they care for the rights of the public? They have conclusively proven time and again that they are monarchs of all they survey, and it is useless to attempt to impede the despotic sway of the coal kings while the Telegraph and hundreds of other monopolistic newspapers will support their measures and bills in our legisla tive balls. The operators tell you they "own" the land, and, that being the case, who will deny that they do not own every human being that depends on "their" land for a living. Inconsistency is one of the Telegraph's chief features, and to hear it bewailing the powers of mine owners is simply ludicrous. A Change of Opinion. j Editor Medill of the Chicago Tribune, : one of the principal Republican organs j of the West, began raising a great liub | bub recently about the tariff. He was ) afraid the present congress would de | grade itself by lowering some of the j duties and was loudly demanding of it to keep "hands off," until he was re minded by one of his neighbors, the Free Trade Herald, that in a letter to I). W. Windsali, dated only two years I ago, he wrote the following words: j Where, then, is the remedy from the [ heavy burdens of a fifty per cent, tax on I the necessaries of life, both imported I and domestic? There is only one ele ! ment or class able to remove it, and that : Samson is sleeping in the lap of Delilah and will not awaken. I, of course, mean the farmers, the plundered, unprotected, twenty-five million of geese-like farmers who permit themselves to be plucked of almost every feather by a hundred thousand protected monopolists. So long as the simple minded bucolic class do not kick off the burden laid upon them, congress will not disturb the war taxes and manufacturers' corresponding bounties. While tlie plowmen act like Issacher's ass, and crouch between the two burdens, both will be kept on their backs. The effect was magical. Editor Medill wouldn't explain why he changed his opinion, and he has also let congress and the tariff alone. Freeland Democrats, Will You Load ? In setting forth the necessity of a thorough organization of the Democratic forces in this district the Plain Speaker j says : ! Let Freeland and vicinity begin imme | diately at the work of organization, and ; llazleton and vicinity will try and keep j pace, and ere long the fourth district J will have an organization such as it I never had before. The Democrats have been taught the necessity of an organi- I zation of this kind, and in this region j there should have been one a long time ; 1 ago, but better late than never, and | now that our people are ripe for such a j I movement, let the good work commence j immediately. Freeland is the political ■ j centre of the north side, and has in its j borough and surroundings men who are j possessed of more than ordinary intelli-! gence and good sense, and a movement! of the above character instituted by ! them will shortly he followed by a gen- j oral one throughout the entire region. How the Country Voted. The Louisville Courier-Journal observes that the Ways and Means Committee of Congress "is organized in the interest of protection." Of course it is. That is what the country voted for at the last national election. — Ex. The country did no such thing. It [ voted by more than 100,000 majority in favor of Cleveland and tariff reform, but j the rotten electoral system prevented the people's wishes from being carried i out. To Get Good Roads. The University of Pennsylvania has offered three prizes for three best essays, | of S4OO, S2OO and SIOO for Road-making i and Maintenance, sent in before April I 5, 1890. The essays must deal with the engineering, economic and legislative j features of construction, reconstruction j and maintenance, omitting the history 1 of road-making, except where it is neces sary to illustrate or impress an argu ment. Competitors must address their essays to Dr. William Pepper, Provost of the University of Pennsylvania, Phila delphia, Pa., with the usual precautions for concealing identity and authorship until the essays have 'been examined. It is hoped that these prizes will be awarded one month after the competi tion closes. The prize papers will be published, and the committee proposes to invite a second competition for the best draft of legislative bills to carry out the features of the first competition. The literature of road-making and of agitation for the better roads has re ceived considerable additions of late, nearly all counting of what is amply well known already. The way to build a good road is as well known now as it ever will be. The absence of good roads, the cost of poor roads and the i saving of good ones are also all fully i known. If any one will devise away to ! persuade the people to tax themselves for good roads and get them, instead of ' taxing themselves without getting— | which is the present plan—everything will he accomplished. The proposed j competition may lay bare some such ; way, and no greater service would he I done to the work of road-making.— | Phila. Press. About Freeland Girls. Commenting upon an editorial which appeared in the TRIBUNE a few weeks ago, upon the removal of the Acme hosiery mill from llazleton to White Haven, the Journal lias this to say : llazleton and Freeland do not encour age a diversity of employments for girls. They have no*factories, no mills, nothing that a girl can do except serve in the kitchen or in the dens of infamy that in fest those towns. Girls "are of no use to a town" in an industrial way, and yet "hot-beds of prostitution" flourish there, while in White Haven they never had a foot-hold. Our mills and factories give females legitimate employment, while in our neighboring towns they are driven in despair to the loathsome hovels of vice and crime. The above, as far as Freeland is con cerned, is untruthful in every particular, except the statement that we have no mills or factories, and from our previous acquaintance with the columns of the Journal we are positive its editor has been misinformed or such a libellous article upon our girls and town would not be published. Since Freeland lias existed there lias been but one place of that character here, and its lease of life was very short, the borough officials closing it before it was fairly under way. And, what is stranger still, the party that bad the audacity to open this "den" in Freeland arrived from our sister town down by the river, where "hot-beds of prostitution never had a foot-liold." However the TRIBUNE and Journal may differ upon the advantges or disadvan tages a town derives from factories em ploying child and female labor, it is hardly becoming to our contemporary to 1 attempt to strenghten its plea for female i labor by stating that which is not true. Workingiiicn Can Control Legislation. Mr. Powderly's late address to the workingmen of Pennsylvania on the value of the ballot intelligently and ; honestly used is another example of the j wise and honorable methods by which j he aims to improve the condition of organized wage-workers. He tells the vast army of laborers in that state that they must cease being partisans in order to be freemen. He urges them to ignore all party bosses and work together for a secret ballot so that they may vote henceforth absolutely as they choose, without any fear of coercion. Then they can compel the powerful corpora tions of Pennsylvania at least to respect existing laws. i The workingman in this country can : always control legislation in the interests | of the people if he will make the best use possible of his vote. The doctrines of the anarchist and of other perfidious agitators tend to make him look on the ballot with contempt. There lies his gnat error. Mr. Powderly's advice on this subject is the best which he can hope to receive.— Chicago Daily News. l*ensions Forever and Ever. j Congressman lleilly has introduced a | bill providing that when a soldier dies ! when in receipt of a pension, the pension j shall revert to his widow and minor children, regardless of the cause of death.— Ashland Record. ! Congressman Reilly should amend his bill by adding a section providing that, upon the death of the widow and children, the pension shall revert to their heirs and successors, and so con j tinue forever and ever. Schuylkill's M. I C. could then present an undisputed claim to the invention of perpetual 1 motion. POLITICAL ANNOUNCKMKNTB. j JjXIR TAX COLLECTOR JOHN MILLER, of Drifton.
