The Decision of the Interstate Commission.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
on Friday last rendered a decision in the
case of Coxe Bros. & Co. against the Le
high Valley Railroad Company. The
Commission, after declarations in regard
to classifications, charges grouping of
mines, etc., decides that the rates from
the collieries of the plaintiffs to Perth
Amboy, which are $1.70. $1.40 and $1.20 :
per ton according to sizes, are to he re
duced to $1.50, $1 25 and $1.05.
In consequence of the above decision
of the committee, Coxe Bros. A: Co. have
notified the officers of the Lehigh Valley
Railroad Co. that they will not observe
the order for a restriction of output, and,
that as common carriers, the railroad
company must furnish them with cars.
It is thought their request w ill be con
ceded and that we mav see other opera
tors moving in this matter before long.
Special Announcement-
We have made arrangements with
Dr. B. J. Kendall Co, publishers ot
"A Treatise on the Horse and his I
Diseases," which will enable all our
subscribers to obtain a copy of that
valuable work free by sending their j
address (enclosing a two-cent stamp'
for mailing same) to D . B. J. KENDALL!
Co., KNOSBUKO FALLS, Vr. The book
is now recognized as standard authority j
upon all diseases of the horse, as its
phenomenal sale attests, over four mil
lion copies having been sold in the past
ten years, a sale never before reached by
any publication in the same period of
time. We feel confident that our patrons
will appreciate the work, and be glad
to avail themselves of the opportunity |
of obtaining a valuable book.
A Loophole for the Railroad.
Regarding tlie decision of the I liter- '
state Commerce Commission, in reference
to coal rates, tlie New York Recorder says:
Of course tne attacking party is unre- j
mindful of the fact that it is only a ques- j
tion of book-keeping for all the coal com-_
panics to so arrange their ledgers that j
they will not be the losers. Tariff rates |
can be advanced higher than they were
before, and while Coxe Bros. & Co., or
any other indivdual miner, are placed
upon the same footing with the collieries
of tlie road, which is patronized; the I
extra profit in hauling will amply com- \
pensate for the apparent loss in mining;
coal. In other words, I.ehigh Valley,
Lackawanna, Jersey Central, Dela-:
ware anil Hudson can extricate them
selves out of the dilemma by tipping the
ledger balances of their collieries to suit
the Interstate Commerce Commission's
mandates and recoup themselves by en
joying a larger revenue from freight.
An Agreeable Surprise.
The choir of St. Ann's Church, Wood
side, agreeably surprised Bev. F. P. Mc-
Nally on Tuesday last by presenting him
with a beautiful gold headed cane.
There were very few present, only
those who were necessary to the carry
ing out of the presentation, namely, the
St. Patrick's Cornet Band and the mem
bers of the choir. Bev. M. J. Fallihee
made the presentation address in a few
eloquent words, which were responded
to by the recipient very freely and in a
becoming manner, after which a bounti
ful repast was served by the members of
the choir. Refreshments being over, a
nicely arranged programme, consisting of
music by the the band, and vocal and
instrumental music by the choir was
rendered. The parties who got up the
entertainment deserve great praise for
the manner in which it was conducted.
The cane bore the following inscrip
tion : "Presented to Rev. F. I'. McNally
by St. Ann's Choir, of Drifton, Pn."
A Grand Parade.
The advent of St. Patrick's day to our j
Irish fellow citizens here has at all times
been hailed with the greatest of enthu
siasm, hut on no occasion in the life of
the oldest inhabitant was there more ;
interest manifested in its coming than on
tliis occasion. In the years gone by, |
when the Irish were not as numerous, ,
nor the villages so close together, St.
Patrick's day was looked upon as being
a day set apart for festivity and mirth. .
In later years it took upon itself the form
of a day of rejoicing, and as such, par
ades of the Irishmen of the different vil
lages took place and has been kept up
yearly ever since.
Tuesday's parade was the largest and
best conducted of any of its kind ever
held in this section of the country. The
programme as printed in last week's
TRIBUNE was carried out, and everything
moved with precision. A good parade
was expected by all, but no one expected
to he blessed with such lovely weather,
nor did any one anticipate that the ranks
would he swelled by such numbers of
Green Men. Mass was celebrated at ID
a. ni. at St. Ann's Church by Rev. F. P.
McNally, who spoke of the life of St.
Patrick, and in the course of his remarks
cited the many nations who laid claim to
his nationality, but said the Rev. speak
er, "one thing we do know he was
not an Irishman, hut no matter where
he was born he brought the gospel to
Ireland and redeemed itfrotn the druidic
practices of Paganism,"
After Mass the procession formed and
was preceded by Rev. M. .T. Fallihee,
Rev. F. P. McNally, and Rev. Joseph
Mastodez in a,carriage.
Public Health and Good Government.
I nan address delivered in Philadelphia
recently by Dr. John S. Billing-*, of the
United States Army, the question of
public health and municipal Govern- '
ment was discussed from what may be
called the bread-and-butter side.
In speaking of the existence of in large
cities of that elasn of people who are
necessary idle, ignorant, intemperate and
more or less vicious, and who congregate
in certain quarters and houses which are
adapted to t heir means, tastes and habits,
he points out that Philadelphia has been
peculiarly fortunate in the fact that the
great majority of her working classes
have each a separate habitation and own ;
their own homes.
His answer to the question : "Why is ■
it so difficult to initiate and carry out ;
sanitary improvements in large cities?" j
is that those people who have control of ,
this question do not think that it would
be to their personal and political ad van- j
tago to adopt such legislation. W'hatisi
needed therefore, is that men should he i
brought to understand that, as heavy !
death rates indicate heavy sickness and j
heavy demands upon the public purse, it ;
would be a good investment for a city or j
borough to secure good pure water sup-1
plies, good sewerage and clean and well
kept streets; that it is worth while, not
only to make a town at tract ire as a place j
of residence and for the transaction of |
business, but also to lighten the burden !
which falls on daily wage-earners—a j
burden which consists not only in hichcr ;
prices for shelter and food, and in dim- I
mishing opportunities for work, but also !
in the loss of that health which is neces- j
wary to enable them to earn their sub- j
sistence. Apart from any reference to '
morals or altruism, hut simply from the j
money point view, the right solution of j
this municipal problem certa nly tomes i
within the scope of each and every citi-1
zen in the community.
Now that this subject has taken such a
hold on the people of our town, it should 1
be agitated from its only legal standpoint !
—that of the health of our people.
Mine Inspector Lewis' Report.
John M. Lewis, mine inspector of the j
Fourth Anthracite District, has made his (
report for the past year. The following j
statistics are taken from it :
Total production in tons of c0a1,5,77(5,- ;
HDD.OB; total shipments, tons of coal, 5,- !
280,820.11; number of days worked,;
221.5; number of persons employed, 14,-
421; number of fatal accidents, 152;
number of non-fatal accidents, 135; mini- (
her of kegs of powder used, 05,130; nuni- i
her of steam boilers, 1344; number of
horses and mules, 1851; number of mine
| locomotives, 70; number of pounds of
j dynamite used. 136,834.
Fi rnt-CIHHH IN' rformance.
Manager Jermon's pretty theatre was
packed last night from floor to ceiling,
with the crowd which assembled to wit
ness the lirst performance in this city of
| the romantic comedy drama "Thu Dear
Irish hoy." Those who patronized the
j performance last night departed well
I pleased with their entertainment, for
; rarely does it fall to one's lot to spend a
; more pleasant evening than in witnessing
! such a performance. "The Dear Irish
| Boy" is a play which abounds in tragic
! and sensational incidents, largly mixed
j with that mirth which is as indispensable
j a factor from Irish character as the
| sparkle from champagne. The interest
■ is sustained from start to finish.—Philu

Weekly Coal Report.
I The anthracite coal trade is quiet.
The producing interests have been for
the past week or two showing more ear
nestness in restricting the production of
coal, and this is reflected in the tonnage
reports of the carrying companies as
well as in the scarcity of the steam sizes,
pea and buckwheat. The Reading Coal
and Iron Company has now 18 of its col
lieries in the Schuylkill mining region
idle. The furnaces consuming fuel fur
nished by the Reading Company are
being well cared for, but some of the
manufacturers at Manyunk and other
near-by mill districts are complaining of
their inability to get shipments of pea
and buckwheat promptly. There is not
much wholesale demand for the domes
tic sizes at present. The general sales
agents of the anthracite companies met
at New York on last Thursday and com
pared notes on the situation or the trade.
After two hours' discussion it was de
cided to make no change in prices at
present, but to continue restriction of
production until further notice.
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending
March 7, as reported by the several
carrying companies, was 591,009 tons,
compared with 441,580 tons in the corres
ponding week last year, an increase of
149,479 tons. The total amount of an
thracite mined thus far in the year 1891
wa56,116,175 tons, compared with 4,666,-
337 tons for the same period last year, an
increase of 1,451,838 tons. — Ltdqer.

[Communicated ]
EDITOR TRIBUNE— Door Sir:— You will not |
deem it inappropriate or out of place, on this
day, to lake a survey ut old times in the old
country. Many hundred years IIRO when the
rial man roamed the primeval forests of the !
new world, monarch of all ho surveyed, or 1
paddled his rude canoe on the father of the
waters; long- before Columbus sailed to discover
America: Ireland was then a nation in the
zenith of her pride and glory. She was then
the chief seat of learning oi' the world. To
her schools, colleges and universities, the
noblest minds of the east were turned, who
sought for learning, or yearned for knowledge.
In these days, when a scholar left his home
his face was turned to Ireland. Churches,
cloisters, abbeys and monasteries were there.
On hill and dale the emblem of Christianity pro
claimed to the world the faith of her people;
and no where else were the glad tidings by
the apostles, received with such delight, or bore •
such results as in Ireland. She was then one
bright, peaceful spot In a world covered by dark
clouds and torn by the storms of battle. The
loot ol the Itomnn soldiers had never been seen
upon her fair bosom She was then the ark
secure from the wild waste of waters, above
the wreck and ruin of the world
The mission of the Irish seems, as it were, to
propagate the laith. They Dore to others the
blessings which St Patrick brought to them, ,
when the fullness of divine light shone upon
them, and they were a nation of believers. So
they in turn became the apostles of a great
part of Europe. Irish Monks founded monas
teries in England, Scotland and Franco. And ;
while her apostles went forth, to every part of
Europe, to build up the church, her schools at
home were open to the studious youth of the I i
world
This work of evangeli/.ati n was continued
until the Danes began to make practical inroads j
into Ireland, forcing the people to turn their
energies to the defence of their country. And
after three centuries of unceasing warfare,
when they had tiually repelled the invader,
brcuthlng time was hardly given them before ;
the Norman foe attacked them, bringing other
centuries of violence and bloodshed
Prior to this, Ireland might be called the pro
paganda of the world. Her kings ruled the
people and protected the churches. On the
ltock of Cashed stood KingCormac McCarthy's
(' •thedral, when' the crowned king, tlie sur
pliccd priest and the mitred bishop sent forth
the Matins Hymn and Vesper song Then, her
monks utid abbots were secure in the sanctity
of their mountain cloisters Hut such felicity
was not long to be her lot There was a hand
writing on the wall which sealed her doom, and
from that time her sad fate can lie more easily
imagined than described Condemnation had
been passed upon her and the sentence was
without appeal
The series of butcheries, devastations, fam
ines and exterminations then begun, have not
yet come to an end The horrors of these cen
turies have never been written: they can never
l.r II- 111 I \ 11 ill ior imagined The traveller vis
iting Jerusalem beholds the maids of Judea
weeping and wailing in helpless grief around
the sen tiered stones of Solomun's Temple, need ,
not behold how the enemies of the holy en
compassed her about, how the sword, famine
and the devouring flames swallowed up
the people; how her wails were broken down,
her nolv of holies profaned, her priests slaugh
tered, the streets made desolate until nota stone
was left upon a stone, or hurdiy a vestige of
her past greatness
So tlie traveller visiting Ireland la-holds the
round towers of her ruinedcastlesstill standing '
roofless,, which neither the red-stuitied hand of
England, or time's effacing linger could anni
hilate in silent eloquence they tell the sad
tale; how her kings, chieftains, warriors and ,
her proudest families, who now sleep in oblivion
in-neath the shadow of ruins, were pillugcd.
l-oboed and murdered by a blood thirsty foe.
And the round mounds on the hill tops, with
their stone crosses, symbolize the rites and cus
toms of the primitive druid, ami the crumbling
abbeys and cut lied ra Is clad with ivy, and now
tuotifding in tin- silent dust, proclaim the long
mart> rdoni of her people
The deserted villages and tenant less cottages,
once the rural abode, speak of the multitudes
dri\cn from their homes to die by the roadside,
or with sad, weary and forlorn step seek shelter
in a foreign land
The traveller can now pass through miles of
waste and desolate lauds, once the happy home
of the Irish peasants, hut now turned into a
pasture for sheep and cattle. Even to-duy
their leaders arc pining in dungeons, because
they dare assert the tights of the poor, whom
the landlords are daily ejecting from the homes
ol their forefuthers
Like the Israelites of old, they must stand
wit It, loins girt and stall in hand, ready
to move at a moment's warning Hut no matter
where they rouiu they carry with them a
fidelity to convictions which time or space can
never obliterate, or privations cool their ardor
Such were the causes which c< mpclled the Irish
exiles to leave tin- model loeu a, v e ui.U priue;
the hallowed earth in which sleep tut hers,
mothers, sisters uud brothers, uud turn their
bucks lorevcr on the homes of their youth and
childhood; with sorrow in their hearts and tears
in their eyes hid adieu forever to the land of
their kinuivd Willi the day of their departure
from home begun tlie troubles and trials of
thousundsof Irish emigrants, ami while memory
recalls the pa-t, that day to them is never for
gotten Itts hurdiy necessary in this doleful
narrative to remind the reader, who lias gone
through the ordeal, of the sad feelings of ids
soul on the day ol Ins departure tor a foreign
laud. For, although the picture is bright to the
young heart ol seeing foreign lands, yet sad is
t lie thought uud bitter the cup in saying fare
well lorever in accordance witli ttmt tradi
tional custom, putriuivns of old, in blessing
their HOIKS before they left their fa titers house,
before taking the last farewell, the Irish youth
and maiden knelt down, and, ill tliut sorrow
which no tongue can describe, asked the paren
tal blessing. Then having taken a last farewell
oi tue nearest and dealest living, uud shed
tears on the grave ol some deal* one dead, they
took a last look at home and friends, and
the heart spoke adieu to all perhaps forever
'I his might bo looked upon as their first trial,
but when they arrived at the port of embarka
tion, and got aboard the slop, they found a
thousand others with hearts as sorrowlul as
their own. i here was the old sire and grand
mother, with the snows of four score years on
10. ir heads and eyes well bleared with weeping,
j There were young mothers with infants in their
i ui a.o and oiiU r ones toddling by their sides all
| bound for America Pulor was on each brow
and deep sorrow in every heart. Destiny had
cast them together, and there was a mutual
reciprocity ol s.vinpathy among that sorrowlul
gat tiering. I lie deafest associations of life lay
t> hind, und the ties ot happier days were
severed forever. And, although all longed to
! see the promised laud beyond Hie sea, yet some
I tknisned life's journey on the ocean's breast,
and their bodies were consigned to the bottom
<>i tin-deep, and the bosom ol tne ocean swelled
and throbbed in sympathy and sorrow, and
the rolling billows ehunted the funeral dirge,
and nightly the bunshee cried anil tlie nieniuitd
sang the requiem hyinnlor the poor wayfarers
whose cares in life were over.
Those who survived the perils of the deep did
not And this country a land flowing with milk
and honey, and with roses strewn along their
path. They found more thorns thuti ro&cs, and
the step to many wus a source ot sorrow to |
their latest day. The command given to Adam
was appiicublc to tliuni and they soon adapted
themselves to the situation, To narrate what
tlicy have achieved in this country wctild be a
hard tnsk, but suffice to say that they have
been, as a people, good citizens in peace and
tirst-class soldiers in war.
Now we must abbreviate these historical facts
lest this letter might run too long; but thu
reader can infer from what has been said of
tin- aiu-cstorul lineage of the Irish ruce and the
truditions of their native land. T. C.
