Entered at the Freeland Postofflce as Second Class Matter. FREELAND, DECEMBER 31, 1891. SENATOR FAULKNER, of West Virgina, thinks that the new State of Montana will give its electoral votes to the Democratic candidate for President next year. Justice requires that it should be so. Montana, and in fact all the other Northwestern States, were created out of territory acquired for the Union by Thomas Jefferson, the father of Democracy, and there fore owe a sort of natural allegiance to the Democratic party. Their votes will go against their own interests every time they are cast for other than Democratic candidates. "b - CERTAIN protectionists find comfort in the election of Crisp as Speaker of the House, because he defeated Mills, the leader of tariff reform. They do not seem to a tach much weight to his declaration in his speech on taking the chair, when he said "that there must be no step backward in tariff' reform," nor to his remarks on the McKinley bill in the Fifty-first Con gress when he made the following observations: "No amount of jug gling, no amount of sophistry, no amount of theory will prevent the people from understanding what this I protective system really is; that its effect is to take from one class to give j to another, to take from the mass to I give to a class; and when they do | understand it they will repudiate its authors." CLEVELAND'S popularity in the West j is shown by an advertisement in the j Chicago Herald offering to bet SSOO I or any part of it that Or over will be j the next President, barring no acci dents. We have noticed its appear- j ance several times and the G. O. P. people out there show no signs of t questioning the advertiser's confi dence. This would seem strange, j too, considering all the talk in Re- j publican organs about Hill's stock rising. But Republicans rememberj how often their papers have given ! them tips that were not straight, and j they regard the gush about Hill as j unreliable. We hope this daring Western Democrat, who is not only sure of Cleveland's nomination but also of his election, will find many takeis and win their money. Ix his recent message Harrison had much to say about gerrymandering States, but before he hears the last of the comments he will wish heartily that he hud said nothing about it. Almost every prominent Democratic paper in the country has re primed that part of his message in which he moralizes upon the iniquity of sub verting the people's will by carvii g States up into shoe strings, ami tin y indorsed the sentiments therein ex pressed. In every instance, however, there has been appended to the in dorsement of Harrison's words a re minder that it is his party which is getting the major part of the profit from the institution which he so stoutly condemns, and an assertion that the Democratic party wishes nothing more than the establishment of the rule that Presidents shall be chosen by direct votes of the people. AMONG the claimants for seats in the House of Representatives is John B. Reynolds, who insists in pushing his contest against Congressman j Shonk, of this district. Reynolds was defeated by 1484 votes and i acknowledges his opponent's majority, ; but bases his claim to figure as a national law-maker upon the plea that Shonk spent $9560, some of which was used in bribing voters. Con tested election cases in the last Con gress were disposed of by the most I partisan methods that ever disgraced the records of that body, but Reynolds should not presume that the over whelming Democratic majority in the present House will follow the course J pursued by its Republican predeces-1 sors. There is a musty flavor about Shonk's election and no one doubts but that some of the money was put where it did the most good, yet f Reynolds will have an immense con I tract to prove his assertions of bribery. I IN tlie annual election of officers at the Union League of Philadelphia the 1 , other day voting was carried on as I laid down by Pennsylvania's new j ballot reform law. This organization j is composed of the leading Republi can politicians of the city, men who ' are supposed to he in every way well- j qualified to vote correctly under a! method which several of liiem helped to make. \\ hen the votes were count ed it was found that over four per j cent, were illegal, being improperly I marked or having such defects as to cause them to be throw n out. Printed instructions accompanied the tickets used by the voters, and the numerous errors made by such an intelligent body naturally caused people to doubt the success of this misnamed reform, which goes into effect after March 1, 1892. When it is remembered that a large percentage of the voters of Pennsylvania are either illiterate or know so little about the Baker bill it is certain that more than four per cent, of the ballots cast at the general elections will be illegal. Had the Legislature passed the bill for the genuine Australian system, instead of a bungled party measure, voting woidd be simplified and understood by all. HENRY STUNZ, Boot and Shoemaker Cor.

The Philadelphia liecord to-morrow will inaugurate the new year with a great souvenir edition of forty-two pages. In order to accomplish this task its manager has been scouring the State this week for "rat" printers, having locked out the old force on the 15th inst. liazleton and Wilkes-Barre were applied to with out success, and the scabs are working I double time to fill up for the big issue. It is a pity that the Record , which has always been regarded by workingmen as their champion, should allow itself to be classed with the opponents of orga nized labor. The souvenir edition will be great,, as it lias a well-trained staff of writers, but its brilliancy will be dimmed by the imprints of "rats." Same Old Story, The anthracite coal trade continues in the same inactive condition heretofore reported. It is now between seasons, and from this time until spring the con dition of activity of the coal markets will be regulated by the weather. The total amount of anthracite coal sent to market for the week ending December 19, as reported by the several carrying companies, was KM,715 tons, compared with 728,707 tons in the corres ponding week last year, an increase of 108,1108 tons. The total amount of an thracite mined thus far in the year 1801 was 80,188.752 tons, compared with 94,- 002 807 tons for the same period last year, an increase of 4,285,885 tons. — Ledger. KM1O in the Patrol Wagon. A Freeland Polander, who spent Sun day in Mahanoy City, made himself ob noxious to the citizens of that quiet town, according to the Mahanoy Record. He was arrested and not caring about going to the lockup, made things inter esting for the officers, who procured a wheelbarrow, strapped him down and trundled him off to the borough "jug." He probably thought lie was playing with Boh Rinker. Another Cocking Muln. Another cocking main of five battles for S2OO took place on Saturday evening. It was tlie North and South Sidesagainst liazleton, and the city men failed to win a battle, although they hail a well-known I'hiladclphian in charge of their birds. A Pittsburg heeler took care of the other side. Freeland and Drifton people won ' heavily. • Freeland Ready Paj. o HOLIDAY GOODS. Tliousands cf "Varieties.
