Offlce, Dirkbook Uriok. 3d Boor, Centre Street. Entered at the Freeland Postofflce as Second Class Matter. FREELAND, FEBRUARY 12, 1891. A BILL lias been introduced in the Kansas House of Representatives (<> confer the right of suffrage on women. It provides that women twenty-one years of age shall be entitled to vote at all general, special and municipal elections in the state, and shall be en titled to be voted for and bold any office in the state. The Alliance mem hers are practically unanimous on the question of women suffrage. THE Philadelphia Herald says that the pending investigation into State Treasury affairs must not be a white washing affair, and gives these rea sons; The recent Treasury losses and the well authenticated rumors of Treasury manipulations have enlisteo the interest of the taxpayers to such an extent that they will demand a full and searching inquiry and a fair re port The committee which has charge of the investigation cannot afford to go into the whitewashing business this year. THE little Republic of Uruguay has set to the nations a good example ol disarmament. It is true that its standing army consists of only two or three battalions of troops; but this is considered too much for a peace-loving people. But while little Uruguay lias thus disarmed, the Senate of the United States has begun the task ot establishing a wall of iron and steel fortificaiions all around the coast. Ii is stated that some Senators are un able to sleep o' nights in their constant fear that a British fleet may bombard New York. MUCH has been written lately aboui the threatening letters sent out by the so-called Molly Maguire societies Does it not seem strange that right here in the very heart of the coal region that there is so little known about these outrages. It looks, as if to save themselves from disruption in the near future by state legislation, i that the Pinkerton agencies are at this work. Such tricks have been done before and in writing sncli stories they seem to court public sympathy and are fighting hard to keep their place. THE coke operators of the Connells ville region say that wages must la reduced ten per cent. The twclvi thousand coke workers are quite as strenuous in their demand that wages must be increased. The year's seuh expired on Tuesday and with so wide a divergence between workmen alio employers it looks as though the adop tion of a new scale would be a mattei of time. While the parties are nego tiating they are likely to do nothing else; in other words to quit work foi an indefinite period. It seems a littli strange that the McKinley bill, which, according to its advocates, was chiefly designed to increase wages, shouln only have resulted in ten, and, in some cases, in twenty per cent reilue tions instead. About Mine Inspection Law*. The Philadelphia Record says : We do not wish to at ticipate the in vestigation of the Mammoth Mine disas ter, hut venture to predict that Un report will show: First, that State in spection of mines does not inspect, and secondly, that the importation of chea| and unskilled labor does not pay in the long run. The Record never printed a truer para graph than the above. The inspectors, as a general thing, are men who have had experience in the mines themselves, hut the manner in which they are ap pointed places them above the common level of their former fellow workmen It would not take a very long search in the mines of this vicinity to find out that many of the provisions of the law are being violated; noticeably, the part relating to hoisting men up from dee| Blopes. \t ho ever, during the past twenty years, saw an inspector traversing the mines alone, or in company of, 01 asking the advice of the miners. In nearly every case he is accompanied on his tour of inquiry by one or more ol the bosses; and where is the poor minei that dare speak to him then of any grievance—real or imaginative There have been exceptions to this, hut the term of a man who dared to speak of any such a thing in the bosses' presence was of short duration at that colliery. Experience lias taught the miners that Inspection does not inspect, anti until some system is adopted different to the one in use at the present time cover ing the appointment of the inspectors, we may not expect any improvement. In examining the reports of the An- j thracite district for years back, the reader is confronted with such phrases as "caus ed by his own neglect," "caused by carelessness on the part of the miner," etc., and rarely, if ever, is there any suggestions offered whereby the loss ot life can be avoided. This is no fancy sketch written for to catch the eye of those who blame the inspectors for every accident that occurs. A lifetime spent beneath the ground, in contact with many of tho grievances that present themselves to miners, and the manner in which many of these grievances have been treated en ables us to say in all sincerity that "In spection" docs not inspect. j Tariff Reform oh Both Side* of llie Line. Like causes produce like results, espe cially in countries so closely allied in sentiment and in interest as the United States and Canada. In obedience to a I growing demand for relief from tariff burdens and iniquities, Sir John Mac ! Donald has dissolved the Dominion Par liament, and the new elections will take j place on the sth of March. Like the Protectionists in this country, Sir John Mac Donald and his Tory party have all at once become quite enamored of the idea of trade reciprocity; and the Minis try proposes to renew the old Reciprocity treaty of 1854 with the United States. Upon the small concession to TarilT Reform opinion in Canada Sir John Mac- Donald hopes to secure a new vote of public confidence in the March election. There is no doubt that a permanent settlement of all disputes between the United States and Canada on the basis of reciprocity is very desirable to the mother | country; hut the real pressure that has j brought about this dissolution of the | Dominion Parliament comes from the ; Canadian people themselves. The grow* I ing demand for Tariff Reform in Canada could no longer be resisted; and Sir John Mac Donald has thrown out the old treaty sis a tub to the whale. It is true that the Tory organs in Canada assert that the first advances for reciprocity were made | by the Government at Washington; but j Secretary Blaine has completely spoiled I that story with a prompt denial. The old treaty of reciprocity was good j enough while it lasted; but public opinion on both sides of tiieSt. Lawrence I has marched beyond that arrangement. | A mere free exchange of raw materials ! would not suit the manufacturers of the United States, who seek wider markets lor their products; nor would it meet the ! views of the Canadian Liberals, whose j programme does not stop short of a , complete revision of the existing tariff, in its general features the contest is much tlie same on both sides of the line. ; While the Democrats of this country | insist upon Tariff Reform, the Protec-1 tionists pass the McKinley act and prate i about reciprocity treaties with South j | America. In Canada the Protectionists, in order to save the high tariff, talk of a free exchange of "natural products" with the United States; au<l the Liberals respond with a demand for tariff revision though they have no objection to reci procity in the absence of something better. Should Sir John Mac Donald be sus-1 tained upon bis programme be would be obliged to open negotiations for j reciprocity with this country; but bis terms would not be likely to meet with much favor in Washington. Should he be defeated the Liberals would doubtless proceed at once to reform the Canadian tariff. If this should be met by a like | j spirit in the next Congress thcfre would be less need of a Reciprocity treaty with Canada. So far as the people of this country are concerned a long stride tow ard free trade with Canada was made in tlie elections of last November. The elections of March will determine whether the people of the Dominion are ready to meet this advance, or whether they will adhere to the ineffective pro gramme of Sir John MacDongld.— Phila lie cord. The Borough Ticket*. Saturday evening the Democrats of the borough met at Haas' Hall for the purpose of placing a ticket in the field. The meeting was called to order by R. M. Rinkcr as Chairman of the Vigilance Committee. Bernard McLauglin was elected Chairman and John Conaglutn Secretary. James Brennanand Bernaid Boyle were selected as Tellers.

McCarthy was nominated by ac clamation for the office of Justice of the Peace. Robert M. Kinker was again nominated for High Constable, and there being j no one anxious to contest the honors i with him he was given a walk over. The most interesting contest of the evening, and the only one as far as known 'hat there was any canvassing made for, was that of Tax Collector. The con testants were Peter Carr, Jr., and Patk. J. Boyle. The result of the vote stood : Carr 50, Boyle 20. 11. G. Deppe was nominated by acclamation for Auditor for three years.
