Entered at the FreelandPoetofflee as Second Class Matter. FREELAND, DECEMBER 24, 1891. HEIIR STICKLER, one of Germany's Commissioners to the Chicago Fair, has arrived in this country with a sword that is claimed to be the one actually carried by Christopher Colum bus when he discovered America The sword belongs to the Museum of Salzburg, Germany, and is loaned for exhibition at Chicago in 1893. SENATOR PRESTON B. PLUMB, of Kan sns, who died suddenly on Sunday, was one of the yopnger members of the Senate, having been born in 1837. He was an Ohio boy, a printer, a lawyer, a soldier during the war, anil since 187(i lias been a member of the Senate. Prior to that he gained leg islative experience as a member of the Kansas House of Representatives, of which he was at one time Speaker. IN a late issue of Ifarjier's Weekly it is asserted that a "protection Demo crat" is an impossibility. The two words of the expression are contradic tory of each other. It is laid down by a Western Democratic paper that "no one who favors taxes levied against trade and to prohibit imports can be a Democrat." It is admitted that the party has its plutocrats, but they are not the controlling element in it, as is the case with the Republican party. CONGRESSMAN DAI.ZELL, of Pittsburg, who has made matters uncomfortable for Matt Quay in several campaigns, is going to be a candidate for the posi tion now held by the Boss in the United States Senate. The outcome of the contest cannot be foreshadow ed, as Quay is nearly as strong in his party as ever, and Dalzell is one of the most popular Republicans in the State. The whole fight will centre upon the Legislature to be elected next year, and the result of the clash may give the Democrats another op portunity to strengthen their forces at Harrisburg. RICHARD MANSFIELD, the prominent actor, paid a high compliment to the power of the press the other day when he ordered his manager to discontinue the use of lithographs, posters and all forms of printing in advertising his plays. Hereafter Mr. Mansfield's an nouncements will be confined exclu sively to the newspapers, whose in fluence is becoming greater every day, both in business and theatrical circles. Comparing the results of judicious newspaper advertising with what is obtained through o'her mediums, the cost being equal, the former is found almost in every instance to be the best. BUMOKS of war with Chile are /bat ing about pretty thick at present, and the appointment of Stephen 13. Elkins as Secretary of that branch of the government is most timely, if any reliance can be placed upon the photo of the new cabinet officer printed in Sunday's JPress. He is as ferocious looking as any individual that was ever struck by Federal lightning, and would make an excellent figure-head for one of the new cruisers of the navy. If the trouble with Chile con tinues Harrison should give Elkins to Secretary Tracy and a sight of him would frighten South America into submission. He can also be used effectually against the Blackfeet and Apaches. Is a series uf resolutions adopted by the teachers at the close of the institute they said "the increased State appropriation should be applied to the raising of teachers' salaries rather than to other school purposes or lowering of the rate of taxation." This would seem to show that the teachers of Luzerne are possessed of a mercenary spirit. While no one will criticise them for trying to bring about an advance in salary, it is doubtful if such a course will find favor with the citizens in preference to applying the money to other school purposes. The teachers in this county are paid far better than their collea gues in several sections of the State, and it is nothing to their credit to ask for a part of the appropriation while more pressing needs cannot bo sup plied. THE Northwestern ]\f!llev , having started n movement to send a ship load of Hour tu liussin, has succeeded in getting the Russian Government to take charge of its shipment from this to that country and its distribu tion to tin; famine stricken Russians. It has also obtained subscriptions from the millers of Minneapolis alone of .'OOO sacks of ilour, amounting to 420,000 pounds. It is expected that this great gilt will be increased by Minneapolis to 500,000, making a train load of twenty cars. Every miller in the United States has been appealed to for contributions, and it is expected that a full ship load uf Hour will be obtained in this way. The proposed cargo will contain 6,000,000 pounds of flour, all of which is for the starving subjects of the Czar. If we are not mistaken it was those same Minneapolis millers who locked out their American work- men a few years ago for refusing to accept a cut in wages. But that's another question, they sav.

The article in the TRIBUNE last week stating that there is opposition to the new county scheme among the people of the North Side attracted some attention from Uazleton parties. The Speaker is disposed to regard our mention of the feeling here as a voice against the movement, and says: It is with much amusement that we read the cry of the FRKEI.AND TRIBUNE against the new county of Hasde. We ! are glad to know that the TRIBUNE does not represent the people of the North Side in this county plan. The idea that Freeland would not be greatly bene j fitted is absurd. Freeland and the en tire North Side is just as anxious for ■ Hazle County as are our citizens. And we appreciate Freeland's progressive , spirit in the matter. The Speaker's attempt to belittle the opposition which is cropping out will not help the movement in any way. It f is here, and promises to play a leading • part when the scheme becomes a sub ject of general discussion. Hazletonians I will then discover that the people of Freeland and the North Side are not by any means just as anxious for Hazle County as themselves. It is useless to ! deny the existence of opposition, but to • set the TRIBUNE down as an opponent of j the proposed county because it called J attention to such opposition is rather I premature. We merely wished to let j the projectors know that everything is not so serene as it might be on the j North Side. The Standard, after re- ] printing the article, speaks in a more I conciliating tone to the opposition. It says: Freeland people should be more gen- | erotts toward their neighbors. They j will 110 doubt readily admit the necessity | for a court house in this vicinity and should in every way assist in bringing j about the desired result. Freeland has certainly made wonderful strides as a | I live and progressive town within the j j past few years, but the opposition to j ! the new county will not advertise the j | place as composed of liberal, public- 1 j spirited men, who would do well and j wish their neighbors to keep up in the ! I progressive march. Probably Free- : land's opposition to the new county is I due to tlie fact that Freeland is not named as the county seat. Who can tell? The County Institute. Another session of the I.uz.erne County teachers' institute has come to an end and the pedagogues, whom we always delight to have with us, have returned to their homes, presumably filled with many new ideas and having a higher and nobler conception of this art which fashions in the school room of to-day the mental acumen of the world's gover nors of to-morrow. A county institute is an immense undertaking and implies not only a large expenditure of money i j but much time and patience on the part i j of the county superintendent and his as ; j sistants. Are these institutes beneficial 1 j in proportion to the time and money ex- | pended? A majority of the teachers ■ j undoubtedly take a great interest in the • ; sessions and place themselves in the " ! most receptive condition possible, so that | they may absorb as many of the ideas •i as they can carry. But they are others ' who come not to appreciate but to aggra • i vate the instructors with loud talking, I novel reading and flirting from day to a \ day. These, instances were not uncoin " J mon and were commented on by specta i tors who happened in now and then. It . j is quite plausible to infer that the stan- I dard of the teacher may be estimated by J just such conduct as this, and that his or her work in the school room will neither reach above nor fall below it. A Wilkes- I Barre director who chanced into the j auditorium of Music Hall one afternoon and saw a teacher busily engaged in de -1 vouring a novel while Professor Tomp -5 kins was in the midst of one of his most learned efforts, turned with an expres- I sion of disgust to a fellow director at his side and remarked that if the teacher 1 referred to was in his district she would j probably not teach another week. — IF. ! j It. Record. Afraid of the Hungry Follows. It is said that a notorious millionaire, when asked why he did not build a palatial mansion such as Vanderbilt's, said: "I don't want a house that will be so easily found when the hungry ; fellows break loose." We do not give ! his name, for we do not know positively I that he said it. Hut it is the most fear ful sentence we have heard since the outbreak of the late civil war. As cer tain as the earth continues, and things : go on as they have for twenty years, the "hungry fellows will break loose." Nothing hastens it like men of vast wealth, who buy up legislatures, dis- j regard private rights, live in luxury, | and say "What are you going to do j about it?" "The public be ," and talk about the "hungry fellows breaking ! loose." lie who looks ahead and sees no breakers, is either blind or has some glass that those who judge the future by the past cannot get access to.— Christian Advocate. New Deal in HUM* Hall. Tha question of what League would he in existence as the moulder of base ball law and the leading organization for 1802 is now settled. The twelve club : scheme which was first mentioned as j a sort of a joke two years ago has be come a reality by force of circumstances j as many say, The magnates of the National League have again absorbed j the second weaker body within two 1 years, and that by questionable strategy. A vulnerable point was discovered at I Boston by the League and through the vacillating policy pursued by Prince in the Association the consolida ion scheme became possible. With one capitalist in the Association showing weakness and coquetting with the powerful League, the other members became apprehen sive, and through this line of distrust the American Association has been ! "thrown down," just like the Players' League in 1800. It costs the League j f 108,000 to satisfy the Athletic, Boston, Milwaukee, Columbus and Chicago claims, and thus secure the field alone to the League, and this investment will | surely prove an expensive and disastrous ; one. By it competition is removed from , Boston, Philadelphia and Chicago for [ the present, and yet there is no guaran ( tee that no new organization may arise i to assume the place deserted by the As r sociation. The player will be the loser , as well as the magnate, for through all and over all can be seen the coming of a . sweeping reduction in salaries, and as ] : well the gradual but sure centralization • of the great talent in the moneyed teams, 1 while the list of tail-end clubs has been added to and the championship made less interesting—unless it be rearranged and divided by a summer and fall cham pionship contest, which is being talked of quite generally. The game is to be more expensive to the patron even if the exhibition is not greatly improved. In Philadelphia, especially, the feeling is strong against the new order of things. The wiping out of the famous old club, the Athletics, saddened the hearts of the base ball people there, and the ad vance in admission did not help to re cover their friendship. The prospects, however, are favorable to a healthy re ! vival of interest in the national game. Catholics us Americans. | Last Sunday afternoon, at Wilmington, Bel., Rev. Father Bermingham, of St. Paul's Catholic Church, delivered an j address in the Academy of Music to J Grant Post, <>. A. R. It was the first j time that a Catholic priest had addressed j 1 the soldiers in ll.ut oil y. Hin olooing i i words were decidedly impressive and j I heartily applauded. They were: I "And now as a Catholic priest and as an American citizen I may be permitted | 1 to say that 1 am pleased to have the op | portunity which the invitation to ad-1 | dress you offered. There is no truer | | friend to America than the Catholic Church. She is the mother of liberty. I [ I appeal to it by the names of her j I leaders from Bishop Carroll of colonial days to that of Bishop Hughes of the' civil war. It has been said without a blush that we Catholics are not loyal i Americans. That cannot be true when ! the mothers who taught us to reverence I and worship (Jod, also taught us to love ■ I freedom, and while we are true to the one we shall love the other. Ignorance j lias said that Catholics are directed by the Pope to overthrow the American I'll ion, and that we are bound to obey. I Be charitable to ignorance. Tell it that the Constitution of the United Slates is not repugnant to the law of God. It is the law which the people of America had a right to establish, and, therefore, the Pope never had, has not now, and . never will have a right to command its overthrow. Tell it, also, that if any 1 power was to cross the sea with the in ' tention of disturbing one star in that . flag, or of substituting for the flag any . sign or standard of Catholicity, Catholic Americans, sword in hand, would meet 3 it on the shore, and conquer or die—and so dying would die in the bosom of the I J Catholic Church. "Oh 1 My country, how young thou art, and yet how great! How beautious II in territory, how glorious in history :- He who does not love thee is base—whe ■ s would not die for thee is craven —whe e would injure thee, let him perish. Thy heroes were God's chosen instrument! e to establish this home of freedom, it "This is our country.

This great republic is God's greatest blessinf ;, to man in the civil order. Considering 0 these things our breasts fill with lovt and overflow with gratitude. O, Lord 1 God, bless, protect and perpetuate l - American liberty—God save the Repub t lie." Over-rated Men. r "We have no Boulangorsin America," r I says an esteemed New York paper. - Perhaps not. But we have cheap ■ heroes and soi disant generals galore, i answers the Hazleton Sentinel. We - have our generals with titles easily won . on the fields of Mt. Gretna or the t dazzling marches of bi-centennial [ parades. We have cheap Heroes of 11 Johnston who got there after the famous j flood was over and the danger part and who now liye to tell their story of ad | ventures to innocent schoolmaams at j county institutes. We have brought forth any number of over-rated men, and somehow, like Boulanger, they hold the public favor when thev are equally without merit and without ability.
