Office, Birkbeek Brick, 3d lloor,Centre Street, j Entered at the FVeela/nd Postoffiee as Second Class Matter. FREELAND, l'A., MAY 28, IS9I. AFTER a nine weeks' sleep in EOM mitte the company store bill was re surrected yesterday and passed by j the Senate. Its provisions will be published next week. LET all the people of Pennsylvania rejoice to their heart's content. The most corrupt, contemptible and in famous Legislature that the State has ever known will adjourn sine ilie to-day. THERE is no doubt that J udge j Lynch will be the Democratic nomi- j nee this fall. The men who contested with him for the appointment possess too much Bense to try to wrest from him a deserved nomination. Lynch is certain of nomination and election, though corporation influence will be used against him at the convention and the polls. Two of the recently elected mem hers of Parliament won their seats on the land issue, which is fast succeed ing Home Rule as the leading ques tion in British politics. Parliament has now thirty nine single taxers, and in the next general election the fol lowers of Henry George's theories confidently expect to secure at least one-third of the members. WHEN any crookedness is discovered in municipal governments it is cus tomary to refer to the Tweed reign in New York. But Tweed and his col leagues conld not hold a caudle to the Republican gang that is running the city of Philadelphia. Over sl,- 000,001) of city and State money is found to be missing, and the investi- . gation has just begun. Philadelphia may be slow, but when it comes to | official rottenness the old Quaker town leads them all. THE editor of the average Republi-1 can organ is just at present "whoop- j ing her up" on the tin-plate farce. I He is the most good-natured liar in existence, and must not be ridiculed for his attempt to bolster up a totter ing political party. He does not mind the fact that sixty-three millions of people are taxed for the benefit of seven manufacturers—not while he gets good Government "tin" for the slush he writes. WORK has been almost entirely re sumed in the coke regions, the men making an unconditional surrender. Nearly one thousand of the leaders and members of committees find themselves discharged and unable to obtain employment, owing to their prominence during the trouble. The boycott when used by laboring men has been declared conspiracy by the courts, but the barbarous blacklist when used by the operators is per fectly legal. THE poor, disfigured ballot reform bill, loaded down with amendments that destroy its usefulness, was passed finally by the Senate on Tuesday, and was sent back to the House for that body to concur in those amendments. The vote was taken in the House last night and the amendments very prop erly defeated. The measure is very much muddled and it is hard just at present to tell what changes it would make if it becomes a law. EVES its greatest enemies have con ceded that, when properly directed, the Knights of Labor is the greatest educational organization in the coun try. The order is conducted now al most exclusively on this basis, strikes and kindred measures only being en gaged in when absolutely necessary. Official reports show great activity within the ranks all over the country. The famous District Assembly 49, of New York, whose death was published j years ago, expects to touch the 60,000 i mark before another month. THERE will be no general election for Bixteen months, yet the campaign of education goes on as lustily as though a new Congress was to be elect ed next week. Nothing about "pro- ! tection" or "home markets" is heard from Republican organs, for such are only catch-vote cries to be used upon those who imagine the country would go to smash if the Chinese tariff wall: was removed. The Democrats, how ever, are not ashamed of their issue, and while custom houses and unjust taxes are with us they must not waver in the fight against systematic robbery. ONE of the probabilities of the deal between Coxe Bros. A Co. and the Reading is the breaking up of the coal combination. The half dozen men who meet monthly in New York and dictate to the railroads how much coal they will be allowed to carry to market will probably have to make . their calculations without the Reading, Nand without this road the combine wjllsoon go to pieces. This would f Xthe mining companies a chance to ship as much coal as they wished and to sell it at their own prices, re sulting in Steadier work for the miners and cheaper fuel for the people of the cities. The People'* Parly. I At Cincinnati last week there was a gathering of nearly tifteen hundred men, called together to discuss the affairs of ! the day and to devise ways and means to alleviate by law the wrongs indicted upon certain classes. It was a conven tion composed of men who advocate nearly every scheme from socialism ! down. They put forth the grievances of t he farmers and toilers in a very straight forward style, confining themselves only to plain facts, and found no trouble in agreeing unanimously that some remedy ■ was necessary. I As nearly every delegate brought ; with him some pet scheme as a cure-all ' they succeeded in evolving from the ( heterogeneous mass a queer mixture of I common sense interspersed with fads ! and hobbies that savor of paternalism and give to the platform of principles and demands the appearance of a crazy quilt made in a lunatic asylum. It con tains some declarations that men of all parties can and do indorse, but the ma jority of its planks are not worthy of a second thought. That the government should he turned into a gigantic pawnshop from which farmers and others could burrow money at 2 per cent, upon non-perishable security is the ground-work of the plat form. This, with free and unlimited silver coinage and the abolishment of national banks, are the main principles of . the People's Party—the new indepen dent political organization. A Presiden tial ticket will be placed in the field next year and all who are dissatisfied with the positions of the present parties can find in this platform a plank to suit their fancy. Tile probable effect of their strength i is already the cause of much speculation among the leaders in Democratic and Hepublican circles. If the representa tion by States at the convention reflects any of the new movement's power, then the Democrats have nothing to fear. The South and East were scarcely rep resented, the bulk of the delegates coming from the West and Northwest, where the farmers have thrown off the Republican yoke through the Alliance. Unless the bubble bursts before No vember, 1892, there is a possibility of the people's Party carrying some of the States in the West, and thereby hold the balance of power. The South, East and Pacific Coast States will no doubt vote as heretofore, as the tariff is in those quarters the only issue and must he settled before all others. If the three parties send a representation to the Electoral College, as they probably will, there will be no majority for any candi date and the selection will fall to the \ House of Representatives. All indica tions point to this end, and, as every body knows, the next House contains 244 Democrats and 88 Republicans, it will he plain sailing for Grover Cleveland or any other true-blue Democrat. All power to the People's Party—in the West. It makes a Democratic President an undoubted certainty. Democratic Tricksters at Work. A contemporary that knows what it is I speaking about calls attention to the I underhand movement among certain Democrats t<> nominate Senator Gorman for President 011 a say-nothing platform. Gorman is one of those politicians, who, like Hill and a few more, are in the I Democratic party for all they can get out | of it in the shape of self-aggrandize -1 ment, and if the Democratic party has 1 any notion of committing suicide the nomination of a man like Gorman is as easy and certain a method as can be found, with the probable exception of declaring for free silver. True, Gorman possesses some of the necessary qualities of statesmanship, hut his vievys on the 1 leading issues of the day are totally at | variance with the drift of public opinion. i In relation to the tariff, Mary land's Sena tor persists in claiming to be one <>f those I impossibilities, commonly called Demo -1 cratic protectionists.v i All the known intrigues with which politics abound will be used by Hill to capture the convention next year, and if ' he has not the power to nominate him -1 self he will use every effort to give the , prize to some of his machine friends, . rather than submit to the unanimous choice of the rank and file, who are * out-spoken for Ex-President Cleveland. 1 With a Hill man and a platform in con -3 formity with Hill's ideas of tariff reform t the party would have to abandon the very arguments that brought victory in 1884 and which received so overwhelm ing an indorsement in the Congressional election last fall. ! The nomination of Gorman would j necessitate this action, and a serious de . fection and revolt in the party would he the only result. To nominate any per -1 son who is not in favor of tariff reform t and who does not stand upon a platform that opposes protection in every possible L manner means certain defeat. The political lines are drawn close * enough for anyone to discern the differ y ence between the two parties, and those t who style themselves protectionists j should seek the offices they covet through the Hepublican party. That is the only organization on earth they have any claim upon, for the Democratic party is . going in an opposite direction to the way the views of Hill and Gorman would ' carry it. It is immaterial who receives the nomination, provided he is a Demo * crafc and imbued with a true Democratic spirit. No one else can or should win , in 1892. Warning Word* of Cardinal Gibbon*. Those who imagine that the social conditions of society are exaggerated, | that the vice, crime and misery so often heard of does not exist, that real povertv is only a delusion of agitators, those peo ple write themselves down as poor ob servers of the times—people who cannot see farther ahead than they can stretch their hand. The restlessness which was so long confined to the common laboring element has now extended to all trades, professions and modes of living. A reeling of uncertainty pervades the j whole atmosphere, the struggle forexist ence is becoming more intense and I through the fear of want men are glar ; ing at one another with the idea that every new comer and every additional human being is to take from them more | of the fruits of their labor or usurp their 1 place as producersand eventually reduce them to abject poverty. There are hundreds uf men among us to-day who, in private conversation, will tell you they would willingly look upon the overthrow of the present social structure, for in their desperation they see hut little hope of escaping from the clutches of the supposed inevitable. I'nless something is done that will per manently banish this seed of anarchy the reaction is certain to follow at no 1 distant day. Propositions have been advanced intended to produce this effect, hut the masses have found the majority j 1 of these so crude and useless that they were rejected one after another. Dis couraged and disheartened with past efforts workers of every description are filled with a discontent that is rapidly , crystallizing itself into a revolutionary movement, carried away with the idea , 'hat only by force can the problem be - solved. To prevent this threatened up j neaval and at the same time attain the ends of justice is the paramount duty of the statesmen ami divines of every country. Unless this is done there can 1 j be but one result. Temporary allevia j tion of present wrongs may check the just demands of labor, yet in a few years I they will return with trebled force. In a recent number of the "North Ameri can Review" similar prospects to these are outlined by an eminent ecclesiastical dignitary, a man whose loyalty to the country lias never been questioned and who would have nothing to gain by sounding false alarms, but whose solici tude for the safety of society compels him to utter words of warning which ! had better be heeded l>y the monopolists i and oppressors who have brought about the conditions that make a revolution necessary. This person is Cardinal Gib bons, and he says : If we may believe those who stand upon the watch-towers and scan the signs of the times, a tempest of war, to which all former wars were but holiday tournaments, looms big upon the horizon ; and threatens to whelm the world in horror. Wealth and Poverty, they say, stand more and more apart, and glare across the widening chasm more fiercely. Capital and Labor, after severe skir mishes with varying success, are arming for the supreme conflict. * * * How imminent the struggle may be no man can affirm precisely, but signs there are which may well fill us with disquiet. The rich are daily becoming richer, the poor poorer; luxury, high living and the perils of life are on the increase. The thirst for wealth daily becomes more in satiable; the cries of the distressed more sharp and loud and poignant. The homes of the poor are more marked by destitution and squalor; the light of heaven is being closed out from miser able tenement room and attic; flesh and blood are becoming more cheap, and bread more dear, the well-being of the car-horse is more solicitously watched than that of the driver. Small wonder that strong men, maddened by the tears of wives and cries of starving children, band themselves together, and some times resort to deeds of violence. KAPPLER, one of the owners of Puck, is not very consistent. In last week's issue of his periodical he published a cartoon demolishing the Pope and his throne. Kappler strikes the Catholic Church with one hand and nourishes it with the other. He sends his daughter to the Malenckrodt Convent School in this city.— Newndealer.
