IF the Republicans shall coi f i; x their nbsoiute servility to bam -l monopoly by passing the McKn b y bill, or one on its general lines, t. cy must do it in face of the earnest pro j tests of the people of all parties en 1 of the protests of the ablest Rep::lib can journals of the land, and thus de liberately invite overwhelming defeat in 1890 and 1892. THERE seems to be no doubt now that the Dependent Pension bill will be passed as agreed upon in the bn ference Committee, and, unless Provi dent Harrison should bo deterred from signing it by the enormous exprirli- j ture which it entails, it will becon o a 1 law. The pension will amount to from $6 to sl2 per month, and can be claimed by all who served three months or more in the army or navy and who are suffering from a disa bility which incapacitates them from earning a support. A pension of $8 per month is also allowed to all sol diers' widows married before the pass age of this act, who may be left wi.li out other means of support than their daily labor, together with $2 for each child under the ago of 16 years. The provisions for widows will probably be found to be the most costly, and will increase the amount of penri ms year by year' for some time to mine. Yet the practical application of the law will not be satisfactory to the pension sharks or agents, on account of the dependent feature. They will never rest until they get a pension granted to every one who enlisted in army or navy. WITH this issue the TRIBUNE PAV S its second mile stone in life with tri umphant success. The TRIBUNE st A: I Is to-day among the most formidable I newspapers of the anthracite coal re gions entering as it does the homo of J nearly every workingman in Fret-land and vicinity. In entering on our third year we extend a cordial invitation to the general public for a share of '.heir : patronage as in the past. We v. ill also endeavor to give to our readers the spiciest news of town and vicinity j from week to week and an unlimited amount of news from throughout the State as well as comments on the lead ing issues of the day in our editorial department. Having the largest cir culation of any weekly paper in the county the TRIBUNE is therefore an in valuable journal for advertisers and should be taken advantage of b ;r businessmen. Place your card i : die TRIBUNE and the result will be a we heretofore predicted—satisfactory; nd reasonable. This is the time of the year when every workingman in tin \ i cinity, who is not yet a subscribe to the TRIBUNE, should send one do!!;;: to this office and secure the paper for j one year. Among other things In be found in each week's issue of the TRIBUNE is the weekly coal rep ,of interest to every workingman in he region. To those who are in n ■ jof job work we invite them to call a( our place of business and see the hand some stock wo liavo on hand. With thanks for past patronage and a sin cere hope for the future we remain at our office on Centre street willing to serve the public with printing of any kind at the most reasonable pi ices ! and in the neatest style in which it can be done. HASH ISAM.. TAMA QUA DEFEATED BY THE IIOMM CLUB. The strong, hard hitting combination of base ball players that represent Ta maqua on the diamond were defeated in a well-played and exciting game at the park on Sunday in the presence of SOU enthusiastic admirers of the national game. Welch and the reliable Simmons were in the points for our boys and did fairly well. Zeirdt occupied the box for the visitors and his miserable play had a great deal to do with the result. Sev eral times lie became "rattled" and acted and played like a school boy. The home club played a good game and showed a marked improvement in their play both at the bat and in the field. McConnell, of Tamaqna, officiated as assistant um pire for three innings, when he was forced to retire owing to the rank de cisions which lie made in Tamaqna's i fovor. The score by innings as follows: Freeland 1 1 0 0 3 1 0 3 o—o I Tamaqua 2021 0 101 o—7 [ TIGERS DEFEAT THE KICKEns. The Tigers went to Jeddo on Sunday afternoon to test their skill in base ball with the Kickers of tfiat place, and re turned the conquerors by a score of 9 to 5. AboutoOO spectators were on the grounds j to applaud the occurence. The Kickers j were ahead up to the sth inning, the score standing 5 to 3, when the Tigers spurted and took the lead, keeping it till the end of the game. The score by innings as follows : Tigers 10024 0 1 1 x—o Kickers 2100 2 0 0 0 o—s | Jf scleral Interference in Election*. - A more desperate and unscrupulous J partisan proarammo than that defined in the action of the Republican Committee i on Elections and in the Federal Election hills was never before conceived by any ring of political conspirators. Its un concealed object is to drive out of Con gress such aide Southern representatives as Crisp, Turner and Jilount, of Geor gia; Herbert and Gates, of Alabama: lireckenridge, of Arkansas; Vlills and Culbertson, of Texas, and many others ! of like character, and to put in their i seats partisan demagogues and tools through the aid of ignorant negro voters, drilled and disciplined, and marched to the polls by Federal election officers, j Such a result would be nothing lessj than a national calamity. The banish ment of the able and true representa tives of (the South from the public coun cils and the substitutions fur them of a j horde of irresponsible demagogues and ! j tricksters would put back the country's : progress for fifty years. The Need of a Liability law. For years past the workingmen of the coal regions have been petitioning the Legislature to pass a liability law, and as soon as such a bill is introduced, either in the House of Representatives or the < Senate, the friends of the mine owners ' anil their allies begin to pile on amend ments to it in order to frustrate its origi nal purpose. At the last session of the Legislature a bill was introduced, reached a certain stage and finally was defeated. That the workingmen of this Anthracite re- , gion are in need of such a law ns will entitle them to some compensation when i injured through neglogence of the com pany is plainly seen every day. The following decision just handed down by the Supreme Court is one that every workingman should read : Among tire decisions handed down last week by the Supreme Court was an opinion upon liabilities of proprietors of mines in connection with the case of McDonald against the Itockhill Iron and Coal Company. McDonald was injured while employed in the mines of the company by being struck in the head by a cage which was decending the main shaft of the colliery without his know ledge, The case was decided in the Common I'leas Court, of Huntingdon county, in favor of McDonald, on the ground that the company had not ] proved sufficient means for warning the . men. ] The decision is reversed by the Sn j preme Court. After giving an elaborate review of the evidence of this ease, j Judge Green says that the testimony proves that when McDonald arrived at \ the shaft the cages were running, that lie knew they were running, and might have inquired of tire fact in case of his ignorance, that a car was descending above him, from the employe of the company who stood a few feet away from him, and who gave the signals for the descent of the cage. In conclusion the court says: "We think the defen dant's point, of contributory negligence, should have been affirmed and the jury directed to fine a verdict for the de fendant." Correspondence From the Capitol. WASHINGTON, June 17, '9O. Now that the warm weather lias ar rived Congressmen are beginning to dis appear from their seats. Within the next fortnight the House will be com pletely thinned out. Legislative busi ness lias few charms for the average Rep resentative at this season, when the watering and other holiday places are becomming so delightful. If, UH bids fair to be the ease, the session lasts through the summer, there will not he enough members left to constitute a quorum by the middle of July. To se cure a vacation a Representative has merely to toddle away any time lie likes for as long a period us ho desires, simply leaving a line on t lie Speaker's desk ask ing to he excused for so many days or weeks. Asa matter of form the Speaker ; submits tiiese requests by the lot together COIVXIISrG-I COMING-I ALLEN'S GREAT EASTERN SHOWS! r .

SATURDAY*, JUNE 28 to the House and they are approved by vote off-hand. Many members, however, do not take the trouble to leave any such memorandum for the Speaker, but merely go without saying anything. It i makes no difference really; no objection lias ever been made to liberties of this sort. There is nothing, in fact, to pre- I vent a man from being absent for a j Whole session from his duties in Con gress. On the contrary it has happened repeatedly. Joseph Pulitzer, editor of the New York World, while a Represen tative here, was only present in the House about six days in a session and a I half, at the end of which lie resigned. When the J louse is reduced below a quorum business goes on just ns usual, so long as no point of quorum is raised. It was in this way that, in the last Con gress, about a dozen members passed the hill which incidently compels free citi zens of the United States to inform the census enumerators this year as to what diseases they are afflicted with and the reason why they chose or were obliged to mortgage their property. In case a quorum is not present at any time and is demanded the Sergeant-at-Arms sends telegrams for members and arrests them for duty if necessary. Some of the Rep resentatives render this difficult by hiding themselves away somewhere, so they cannot be found. * * Three or four years ago it was the cus tom among certain newspaper corre spondents to decry the alleged exclusive ness of the leading Democratic officials, and represent that if Secretary Blaine was Secretary of State his door would be open all the time and he himself ac cessible to all callers. But since Mr. Blaine became Secretary of -State in March, 1890, this extraordinary accessi bility has at no time been apparent. On tlie contrary, his exclusiveness lias been the exclusiveness of an English or Rus sian Government official, and since the change of administration the Secretary of State has not vouched to any news paper in the country a single iuterwicw or the slightest hit of direct information about any of the affairs of the State De partment. More than that he hasn't yet sent to Congress the papers relating to our foreign correspondence last year, which ought to have been sent to Congress lust December, when the heads of the other Executive Departments made their annual report. While the Secretary of State has a right to use his own discre- tion to withhold, if he pleases, the court esies which are usually extended to the press, but which are not prescribed by either the constitution or the laws, he has no right to withhold from the Con gress of the United Statesand the Ameri - can people the State papers which the law says lie shall submit to Congress nn nually, just as the heads of the otherde partments send in their annual reports. The tenderest spot in the McKinley • bill is about to be touched upon by the i Senate Finance Committee, namely, the , metal schedule. This was fixed in the McKinley bill to the satisfaction of the manufacturers, a delicate and difficult (ask accomplished by Representative ■ Bayne, who, in the past few days, has received more abuse than credit for his pains. The Senate Finance Committee was simply asked to adapt the schedule as in the McKinley bill, without altera tion in any particular. It is now pretty well established that the duty on steel rails will be reduced. It is from the production of steel rails principally that Mr. Andrew Carnegie gets his income of $5,000 per day. By the proposed re duction he would bo reduced to the pittance of $4,600 daily, and other manu facturers would he brought still nearer penary. Now that both Houses of Congress are focusing the light of their gigantic in tellects on the silvcs question, it begins to be made apparent through the tran i spicuous gloom which ordinarily envelops i these abstruse financial questions that it is not tiie tarifi' alone to which the present depression of the agricul tural and other industries of the country is to be attributed. It seems that the demonetization of silver has had a good deal to do with it. Will the tariff question have the right of way or will it take the side track to allow the silver train to pass it? That seems to be the question. R. FINANCIAL STATEMENT —OF— FOSTER TWP. SCHOOL DIST-. For the Year ending June 2d, 1800. THOMAS ELLIOTT, COL. OF SCHOOL TAXES. DR.
