Judge of Supreme Court, Christopher Heydriek Venango County Congressinen-at-lairge, George Allen Erie County Thomas P. Merritt berks County THE great coal combination, through subsidy and intimidation, is quietly but effectually muzzling the press of the anthracite region. Men who cau be bought for u railroad pass, or who will allow themselves to be frightened 1 into submission when the Reading' threatens to take its time table from their papers, are not fit to be called ; editors. Luzerno County has more than one of this class. TNE coal trust is rapidly perfecting ; its organization and extending itself in every possible direction. A trust's ' absorptive powers are something j marvellous. By raising the price of j anthracite 50 cents a ton the associa tion levies a direct annual tax of $20,-1 000,000 a year on the American j people, and that without representa-; tion in any parliament or legislature, j An infinitely less injustice than this , incited our pre Revolution forefathers to historic indignation.— Herald. ANY person wishing to procure a j copy of Henry George's great work, ' "Protection or Free Trade," can do so by wri.ing to Tom L. Johnson, Wash ington, D. C. One million copies of | the Congressional Ilecord edition | have been printed and are ready to i send to as many applicants. There j is no better way to acquaint yourself j with this issue, which will soon bo the most prominent public question j ever agitated, than by reading this j book.

It is of vital importance to people like McLeod 1 that regiments and armories are kept j in perfect condition, for there is no telling how soon the pationt public | might come to the conclusion that j it has some rights which the com bine should respect. Pennsylvania's uncrowned king made a good invest ment with that SSOO, which was shaved off the earnings of his half- \ starved slaves. IT is more than probable that the coming presidential campaign will be free from the personalities and attacks ' generally made upon the candidate's j private lives. Nothing is more dis- j reputable in modern politics than the prevalence of these practices, but as both the candidates, Cleveland and i Harrison, were already before the I country, the public will probably be ; spared the ordeal of listening to | villifiers and blackmailers. This will !. be a blessing in one way at least, as I it will give the voters an opportunity ' to fight the battle upon the issues | put forth, instead of being blinded by personal predjudices. THERE are twenty well-built towns j 1 in Kansas without a single inhabitant. 1 Saratoga has a $30,000 opera house, ' a large brick hotel, a $20,000 school- ' house and a number of fine business houses, yet there is nobody even to claim a place to sleep. At Fargo there is a $20,000 schoolhouse, a v monument to the bond-voting craze. ; A herder and his family constitute 1 the sole population of what was once !f an incorporated city. "This is a sad ' commentary on unhealty boom if," 1 comments the Atlanta Constitution, j 1 "Those Kansas towns, like Wichita, i 1 advertised themselves as phenomenal 1 boom cities. For awhile everything 1 1 was lovely, but at last dry rot took i hold on the boom towns and killed j them." I THE value of the fire alarm drill in j ( large schools was practically illustra- I • ted during the burning of a church | ' in New York last week. The school !' building was attached to the church, ' and contained over 000 children. Although the llames were burning \ 1 fiercely, the children behaved admir I ably, and, except for blanched faces, j showed no sign that they realized any j danger. At the sound of a bell they J arose to their feet, folded their arms and, to the music of a piano played by ' one of the nuns, marched slowly from I the room, down the stairs and out ' into the street. Not a child was hurt ' in any way, and there was not the 1 slightest confusion manifested. Had 11 these children not been thoroughly drilled in what they were to do in such cases there might have been a far different story to tell. CllUllx-Drexel Home. A few years ago George W. Childs, proprietor of the Philadelphia Ledger, donated SSOOO to the International Typographical Union, to be used as a nuclues for the establishment of a home for aged and infirm members of that excellent organization. This was im mediately followed by SSOOO more from A. J. Drexel, the Philadelphia banker and intimate friend of Mr. Childs. The union then set about to devise ways and means to accummulate a sufficient sum for the project, and the following method was adopted: On every birthday of Mr. Childs the union printers of every city and town east of the Mississippi River donate an amount equal to the rate per 1000 ems they receive for setting type. This rate varies in different locali ties, according to the scale of the local I union, and runs from 30 cents in some towns to 75 cents in others. On the | anniversary of Mr. Drexel's birth each i year the members west of the Mississippi [do likewise. The amount contributed by each printer is small, hut when taken in the aggregate makes a large sum. | The home was located at Colorado | Springs, Colorado, on a plot of ground consisting of seventy acres, which was , given to the union by the citizens of Col orado Springs. The building is now j completed. It presents a grand appear ance, and is considered one of the best constructed in Colorado. The home is clear of debt, every hill being promptly met when due, and there is sufficient j money to furnish it and run it for the ! first year. The building cost nearly $70,- 000, and will he dedicated with imposing ceremonies to-day, the sixty-third birth day of Mr. Childs. The progi amine for the dedication of 1 the home has been arranged as follows: The dedication prayer will he made by the Rev. J. B. Gregg, pastor of the First I Congregational Church, of Colorado Springs; "Address of Welcome on Behalf of the People of Colorado," by Governor John L. Routt; "Address ot Welcome on Behalf of Colorado Springs," by Mayor j Ira G. Sprague; "Address of Welcome on > ! Behalf of the Chamber of Commerce," ' 1 by H. G. Lunt; "ltesponse," by W. B. ; : l'rescott, president of the International | Typographical Union; "History of the j Childs-Drexel Home," by August Do- I j nath, of Washington; oration by Senator ! Jacob H. Gallinger, of New Hampshire; \ poem by Mr. Eugeno H. Munday, the ! printer-poet, of Philadelphia. Bishop j McLaren, of the Diocese of Illinois, will I deliver the closing prayer and dedica tion. { Addresses are also to be made by Mr. Georgs W. Childs, who will he present at the dedication, and by several mem bers of the National Editorial Associa- I tion, who will stop at Colorado Springs ; on their way to the annual meeting of 1 the association at San Francisco. Special j trains are running to-day from all direc tions, and about 800 members of the Na j tional Editorial Association will be pres- I ent. United States Troops and the National Guard of Colorado will assist in the reception. | This work of the union printers of t America is worthy of imitation by other labor and benevolent organizations. I The aged and worn-out members of the ' eraft, when unable to hold up their end ] at the case and are turned out upon the j world, can look toward the Printers' [ Home as a haven where they will find | comfort and rest the remainder of their j lives. This is especially true of those men who are without families to support and aid them in their old days. In probably no organization in the world are the bonds of sympathy and brother hood stronger than in the International Typographical Union, The member who has struck hard luck and descended i to the level of the tramp fraternity is ! regarded by any union in the country as j the equal of the man who may be manager of a metropolitan daily. Charity and benevolence are taught at its meetings, and a practical illustration of these principles is given in the dedication of its home. Cleveland and Harrison. The proceedings of recent Republican State Conventions leave scarcely any doubt that Harrison will be renominated at Minneapolis by an overwhelming vote, in spite of the intrigues against him. His strong position is due alike to tho activity of his army of office-holders, marshaled by Secretaries Foster and El kins, and to the fact that his opponents have thus far utterly failed to bring an available candidate into the field. Most of these Republican Conventions have not only instructed for President Harrison, but have taken care to choose delegates who will cheerfully obey their instructions. In Californiaaloneastrong effort was made by the enemies of Har rison to secure a hostile delegation to the Minneapolis Convention, and it well-nigh met with success. But after a lively con l test Senator Fenton, the leader of the i Harrison faction, was put at the head of j the delegation, and Estee, the Blaine I champion, was defeated. An anti-llar rison demonstration was made in the Tennessee Convention, but it failed com pletely. In Maryland the anti-Harrison ' Republicans, for want of a Presidential candidate of their own, could do nothing else than acquiesce in resolutions of in struction for Harrison. The platforms of these Republican State Conventions present a curious jum ble of contradictions. Though emanat ing from one and th? same national political organization, they betray how great is the discord in its ranks on so im portant a question as the currency. The Connecticut Convention, while indirectly declaring against free silver coinage, "as serts" that to the Republican party "alone" the people must look for the preservation of the good faith of the na tion in all matters of finance." The California Republicans, on the other hand, declare for free silver coinage "in behalf of the farmers, laborers and me chanics of the nation," for whom we are told "the Republican party has always labored." Between these two platforms the voters may take their choice. Turning to the Democratic side, the results of the conventions of Wisconsin and Michigan show that this has not been a good week for the promoters of the anti-Cleveland movement. In both of those states the Democracy have in structed their delegates for Cleveland. In both they have declared for tariff re form as the sole issue of the campaign; and in Wisconsin especially the Demo crats have pronounced themselves de cisively against the free silver swindle, thus putting their platform in complete harmony with their Presidential candi date. There is no mistaking the genuine and | spontaneous character of the Cleveland movement in Wisconsin and Michigan. Nor can there be any doubt concerning its influence upon the deliberations of the Democratic National Convention. Owing to the method of choosing elec- j tors by single districts in Michigan the ] electoral votes of that state will be di- j vided, with the prospect that the Demo crats will have a majority, especially if I Cleveland should he the candidate of' the party. On the same condition ; ; Democratic success is more than prob-' j able in Wisconsin in view of the politi cal drift in that state during a recent period. To sum up the results of the conven tions: On the Republican Bide the ten dency is more decidedly to Harrison, and on the Democratic side to Cleveland, ! the more nearly we approach to the | great party assemblages at Minneapolis ] anil Chicago. At the same time the is sue of the campaign more distinctly de : lines itself on the political horizon, j The Democrats in congress have put I their programme before the country, not in glittering generalities, but in the con j cretc of bills the final passage of which j would mitigate the iniquities and mis | chiefs of the McKinley tariff, and which they are asking a Republican Senate and I president to help them pass into laws, j In resisting these measures of tariff I reform the Republicans plant themselves ! on the McKinley act, to stand or fall j with it at the ballot-box. Thus the ! great issue.of the campaign of 1892 has | been fairly joined in advance of the j national conventions; and upon this issue j Cleveland and Harrison become logically ' the presidential candidates of their res- I pective parties.— Record. "Rich and Rotten." j Carl Schurz, in a recent speech before the Massachusetts Reform Club, declared that the republic is in danger of becom ing rich and rotten, says the New York Ilerald. It has already become rich through the force of circumstances, the sober industry of its working classes, the inventive genius which characterizes this branch of the Anglo-Saxon race, the general thrift, keen-eyed ambition, and the adventurous spirit of the people, ft will become rotten by the fatuous folly of the Republican party with its "legions of strange fantasies." That party prates about protection and anon increases our burdens, entices the laborer by glitter ing and declamatory promises, lowers his wages and savagely taxes every ne cessary of life. Don't you see, says the Republicans in a burst of effusive oratory, don't you see how prosperous this country is under the beneficent reign of protection? Yes, the country is prosperous, but it is in spite of your preposterous protection. You limit our markets and thereby limit the demand for our products. You make everything dear and then boast, as Mr. Lodge did, that the more a poor man is compelled to pay the better he likes it. Your limited sales make it neces sary to discharge 25 percent, of your work men. A general lubor competition follows, a veritable and painful struggle for life, and as a consequence down go wages. That is the condition of affairs which we have under the McKinley bill, and dur ing the next decade, or until the bill is repealed, you will see increasing discon tent, greater poverty, and more misery thau this New World has known in many a long year. Protection, as exemplified in the Re publican policy, is a vain attempt to "heal the inveterate canker of one wound by making many." It is the shrewd game of desperate party leaders, who have catered to the avarice of the few because they will be bleed freely when campaign funds are needed, and ruthless, reckless, and devilish sacrifice of the poor man's rights in ever nook and corner of the continent. Your protection is an absur dity, too gross for reasonable debate. You hitch a magnificent team of.fine blooded borses to a load of bricks, and when they pull it with spirited energy along the highway, you point with pride to the spectacle—that is what McKinley does—and say "See it is that load of bricks which makes the horses go so fast." Then you pile on more bricks, and when the young, fresh, and strong brutes continue to pull, you proudly add: ' "Now notice; the heavier the loail the better the horses draw. There is noth ing in this world so good for horses as a big load of bricks." But, as Carl Schurz says, such a policy will make us rotten. That is the saddest part of this ridiculous policy. When a governmemt by and for the people is changed into a government by anil for the monopolist; when politicians sink so low that they legislate for party advan tage only, agree to pass certain extortion ate measures in exchange for generous donations to the next campaign fund, betray the rights of the people to an oppressive syndicate or trust, as Benedict Arnold sold out to the British officers, it is full time for the people to take alarm, unseat the treacherous party, and inau gurate an era of decency and honesty. Under such circumstances it is unneces sary to predict that we shall become rotten, for we are rotten already. There are two kinds of revolution. ! One is illustrated by the coup d'etat in which a bold, ambitious knave seizes the government, knocks long established j institutions into Hinders and with infin ite insolence, like that of the third Napo leon, wins his way by the sheer impetus | of bribery and corruption. The more i dangerous kind, however, is seen when \ a political party undermines the spirit of ] the people, deprives them of their rights by slow degrees, taxes them to the point of rebellion, plays into the hands of cap ital by special legislation, digs a chasm between the very rich and very poor, saps the enterprise of the masses and : keeps itself in power by an unblushing ; defence of all conceivable deviltry. ; It is true, we are prosperous as a na | tion, for nothing can check our vigor and energy, not even misrule at Washington. ' It is also true that higher taxes and low ! er wages are making a serious inroad on the general contentment. The only rem edy is a stern and peremptory reversal of our national policy by the forcible re tirement of the party which is respons ible for it. Won't Get the Reward. So the Coal Iron police of the lower ; end will not pocket the reward offered for the apprehension of the Kester murders after all. It is unfortunate that the trial costs amounting to seven or eight hundred dollars could not be placed on them to pay, for the men never should have been arrested and tried on such flimsy testimony as the Coal and Iron police worked up.—Neva dealer. Man Againat Shark. A desperate fight between a man and a shark occurred recently in Manukau harbor. Mr. Henry Jacobson, who is employed at the North Manukau Heads as beacon light keeper, was out in his boat about six miles down tlio harbor when it was struck by a squall and swamped and the occupant left in the water. Jacobson dived and endeavored to relievo the ballast, but without suc cess. Ho then grasped an oar, and being a good swimmer struck out for land; but as a stroyg tide was running ho was swept down the harbor a distance of three miles. At that point he was at tacked by a largo shark, which grabbed at his hand. He protected himself, how ever, with the oar, which he tried to ram down the shark's throat. The fish then made a circle aronnd him, and renewed the attack. By this time, however, Jacobson had his sheath knife drawn, and desperately stabbed the shark, ripping its side open, so that the water became red with blood. A further attack was made, when Jacob son again stabbed the monster near the tail, and it swam away. At that time a boat came in sight, and Jacobson, ex hausted, was hauled into the boat, hav ing been in the water two hours and thirty minutes.—New Zealand Herald. A IlUnd Black Bel. Mr. V. N. Edwards, of the United States fish commission, has obtained from Cuttyhunk pond a very singular eel. The eyes are entirely concealed under the skin and the color is uniform ly dark, almost black. In form and proportions it is like the common eel, and may prove to be merely a dark col ored blind example of this species. Trout and other fish become dark in color as a result of blindness, and this may be another illustration of a phe nomenon which is often observed by fish culturists. Tho length of the specimen is about thirteen inches.—Forest and Stream. Kverybody Was Mad. Nate Cook, of Brownsburg, Ind., pur chased an old house, in which was stored a photographer's outfit. People curiously inclined broke into the house and examined the pictures, but carried ; nothing away. Cook was very much incensed, and he caused the arrest of eighteen or twenty of the very best peo ple of Brownsburg, charging them with trespass. The cases were afterward dis missed, but not until all Brownsburg was mad enough to wreak vengeance on everybody concerned in the prosecu tion.—Philadelphia Ledger. A Hungry Kagle. One day last week Mr. P. C. Thorp shot a sea gull in the harbor of South port, N. C., but before tho bird could be secured a large bald eagle, hitherto un noticed, swooped down and carried off the gull, soon disappearing with it in the direction of Fort Caswell. Paris Ltbrarien. In spite of tho pressure of modern life and the abundance of periodical litera ture, 1,277,436 books from the Paris municipal libraries have been read dur ing the year.—European Herald.

Fireproof Materials* At the Berlin exhibition of means and contrivances for the prevention of acci dents in industries and otherwise, prizes were awarded for the following proc esses for fireproofing, respectively dimin ishing the combustibility of tissues, cur tain materials and theatrical scenery: For light tissues, sixteen pounds ammo nium sulphates, five pounds ammonium carbonate, four pounds borax, six pounds boric acid, four pounds starch, or one pound dextrine, or one pound gelatine, and twenty-five gallons water, mixed to gether, heated to 86 degs. Fahrenheit, and the material impregnated with the mixture, centrifugated and dried, and j then ironed as usual. One quart of the I mixture, costing about three or four cents, is enough to impregnate fifteen i yards of material. For curtain materials, theatrical deco rations, wood and furniture thirty pounds ammonium chloride are mixed with so much floated chalk as to give the mass consistency. It is then heated to 125 to 150 degs. Fahrenheit, and the material given one or two coats of it by means of a brush. A pound of it, cost ing about eight-tenths of a cent, is suffi cient to cover five square rods.—Berlin Letter. A Terrible Thing In a Rattle. Tho house committee on naval affairs for some days has had under considera tion a bill providing for the addition to the navy of a novel craft. The feature of the design is found in an enormous submarine gun carried at the bow below the water line. The pro jectors feel that they have now a prac ticable means at hand to drive an enor mous shell loaded with an explosive charge of gunpowder or gun cotton into I the hull of any ironclad afloat and ex plode it in the very vitals of the ship. ! According to the design submitted to the committee and explained by Gen eral Berdan, a hydraulic buffer projects from the bow of the vessel. This is so adjusted that it will stop the boat a dis tance of eight feet from tho enemy's ship , without injury to the boat. At this short range the buffer automatically dis charges the submarino gun directly at the hull of the ship, and lodges within it a shell carrying a bursting charge of 450 pounds of powder, sufficient to blow down every bulkhead in the Bhip and wreck the bottom.—Cincinnati Com mercial Gazette. Glad to Get Rid of Him. A few days ago Governor Buchanan was called upon to exercise executive clemency in a very peculiar case. The person concerned was a man held in jail at Jackson till he should produce a S2OO fine. He hail been there over a year without showing any signs of liquidating with the commonwealth, and it is prob able he would have remained a prisoner for the next fifty years if payment had been waited for. Tho county court, recognizing him us an incubus to the amount of forty cents a day, passed a resolution asking the governor "for the Lord's sake" to forgive that little S2OO and let the man get out and earn his own living. The trial judge and the attorney general and the members of tho jury all appeared on the petition sent up in ac cordance with the resolution, but not a single friend of the prisoner was among the signers.—Nashville American. Made Her Left Handed by a Glow. Three years ago a young lady of Fall River, Mass., was hit upon the left side of her head by a falling sign as she was walking along a street in Boston. This was followed by brain fever. After some weeks she was as well in mind and body as ever, but from a right handed person she had become so left handed that she could neither cut, sew nor write with her right hand, but found it easy to do all these things with her left. Her right hand was just about as useful as her left had been before she was hurt. What is strango is that, with so recent a change in the use of her hands, she never makes an awkward motion and is as graceful in the use of her left hand as if she had been born left handed.—Bos ton Post. A Greedy Mountain Lion's Fate. Dr. French, a seventy-year-old resi dent of Alamo, killed a mountain lion one day last week at the Tulo ranch in tho pineries. The lion had crawled into a pig pen through a small hole, and after feasting on two shoats was too big to get out through the hole. Thus he was an easy prey to the doctor, who gave him a hypodermic injection of birdsliot in order to see him perform. He per formed to the entire satisfaction of his tormentor. The doctor administered a 44-caliber pill, which put him to sleep. The animal had immense claws, and measured six feet from tip to tip.—San Diego Sun. A Great Famine Predicted. A prophet in Athens, Ga., predicts that the crop yield this year throughout this country will be the largest ever known, but that beginning with 1898, and for two years thereafter, there will be the greatest famine the world has ever known. During that time rain shall cease to fall, anil the streams of the country will all dry up, vegetation will no longer exist, and all animals will surely die. At the beginning of the famine the land will be infested with all sorts of vermin, and the living will suf fer untold tortures. An Australian agricultural paper makes note of an immense increase in the number of sheep in Australia in the last two or three years, and of the enor mous development of tho grazing capa bilities of the country. The estimated number of sheep in Australia in 181)2 is 60,000,000, against 81,000,000 in 1884. The number of monarchies in Europe has increased by one during the past j year, the duchy of Luxembourg having become a sovereign state by the death \ of the queen of Holland. A gold brick was recently shipped to San Francisco from Yuma, Cal., the value of which was estimated at between SBO,OOO and $90,000. It weighed a little over 349 pounds.
