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.

Great Souvenir Edition.
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.
