FREELAND, PA., MARCH 23, 1893. Pennsylvania's legislature has been in session for nearly three months, but we have failed to hear of any jneasures being passetl yet that will j be of any benefit to the people. The interests of a number of corporations j have been very carefully guarded and j looked after, and while there is any I thing to be done for these persons no one else need expect to receive any at-1 tention. Men have been requested | to amend the semi-monthly pay act J by having two words striken out ol' j section one, which would make the [ law compulsory beyond a doubt, but j the representatives in whose hands j the matter was left are too busy with ; schemes that will provide nests for j themselves when their term expires, j Carlyle W. Harris, the New York j wife-murderer, who was sentenced on J Monday to be electrocuted next May, I is receiving a great deal of sympathy I that might be extended in a more | profitable direction. Conviction of | murder in the first degree upou cir cumstantial evidence is not in har-; mony with the opinion of many peo ! pie and every effort should yet be ;' made by his friends to prove his in- ' 1 nocence, if he is innocent, but that is 110 reason for his being held up to j the view of the public as a doomed hero, as several people, especially women, have been doing the past few days. The practice of offering horn- ! 1 age to every thug and' murderer who 1 is found behind prison bars is increas- j 1 ing in this country, and it is about 1 time that this mawkish sympathy iR 1 called down. 1 Republican newspapers are very j busy just now commenting upon the haste with which Democrats are de- ! manding the distribution of the offices • that are to be given out by the pres- > eut administration. They seem to : have forgotten entirely the scenes 1 that prevailed about Washington four ■ years ago, when the streets were filled with thousands of the most hungry and desperate mob of office-seekers that was ever brought together in this country. The scramble and the cries for an office of some kind that \ took place after Harrison's inaugura , tiun can never be equalled again un til the people are so unfortunate as to 1 elect another president, and that is a I calamity that will be averted for j many years lo come. Some Demo 1 crats may bo in somewhat more of a hurry to get a job than is necessary, but they are not disturbing the whole United States with their bleating. One remedy suggested for the stop page of frequently recurring strikes on the railways of this country is that the government should take charge oi the business of transportation and manage the railways itself. " Ihe curt would be worse than the disease," ac cording to the Philadelphia Record't view of the matter, as "tho govern nient could not regulate wages to suit itself, nor compel men to work, nor punish them for quitting work." 1 We think a great many people will differ with the Records as.-ertiouthat the government could not regulate wages to suit itself. If the govern ment does not regulate wages wi would like to know who it is that regulates the wages of tho postoffici department and its many branches, which have in their employ thousands of men? Who regulates the wages paid in the government printing office, the largest of its kind in the country, or for work of any kind that is per formed for the government by indi viduals? As to compelling men to work or punish them for quitting work, that is out of the quesiion. This is a free country, and the govern ment or anyone elso should not com pel men to work, unless it involves a breach of contract. The Record hud better bring forward some other ar gument besides the wage question if it wishes to cut any figure in trying to stop the movement that has for its aim governmental control of trans portation. When Baby was sick, wo gave her Castoria.' When alio was a Child, she cried for Castoria. When she became Miss, she clung to Castoria. When she hod Children, she gave them Castoria. DR. M'GLYNN. The Restored Priest Manfully Champion ing the Cause of the l'oor. j In close keeping with the newly j aroused consciousness and conscience of the people concerning the land question I is the increasing distrust of and hatred i for speculators, usurers, monopolists and the so called trusts. As tho condi tions of life for largo masses of people • become harder and harder, men are per ! reiving that by improper social adjust ments, and by unwise and unjust, and not infrequently corrupt legislation, 1 they are becoming juggled and swindled | out of the enjoyment of their equal right to labor for a living and to enjoy the full fruits of what they produce by their labor. They are feeling more keenly every day that landlordism, usury, mo nopoly, special privileges granted by charter and by law, are rapidly tending to reduce the masses of the people to a condition of industrial slavery, to make the rich enormously richer, to concen trate the wealth of the country in vast : masses in fewer and fewer hands, to make the poor poorer, and to reduce the lowest and largest stratum of society to a condition worse than that of chattel slaves. The strong language used by Pope Leo XIII in describing the condition of the working masses in his own Europe are already, sad to say, largely applicable to j j our own land. There are here already j ! not a few who care not to sing at all, or, j if they sing it, sing it much less lustily i than of old, "Hail Columbia, Happy ! Land!" The words of Pope Leo are well worth quoting: "Workinginen have been j given over, isolated and defenseless, to ! the callousness of employers and the i greed of unrestrained competition. The evil has been increased by rapacious ! usury, which, although more than once ; condemned by the church, is nevertlie | less, under a different form, but with | the same guilt, still practiced by avari cious and grasping men. And to this must be added the custom of working j by contract and the concentration of so j many branches of trade in the hands of I a few individuals, so that a small num ! her of very rich men have been able to lay upon tho masses of the poor a yoke j little better than slavery itself." Simultaneously and in logical keeping 1 with tho new,consciousness of men, that j they arc wrongfully deprived of their op ; portunity to labor, and consequently of ; the just wages for their labor, is tho growing consciousness that they are be | ing robbed and oppressed by the turning J over to individuals and to corporations of things that by their very nature should be owned and controlled by tho organ ' ized people, or, in other words, the gov ernment, in trust lor the whole people, so that private individuals should receive 110 special private benefit from them without a perfectly equivalent return. Common workingmen, mechanics, tail ors, sailors, printers, self educated jour nalists who have in their earlier days sailed before the mast around the world and been doing their thinking in the night watches under the silent stars and later at the printer's case, have been thinking and mentally controverting and refuting the stuff that they were |>riiit ing from statesmen and (save the mark!) political economists; have been com pelled partly by their own poverty and still more largely by a divine enthusi usm for humanity and sympathy for their still poorer and less fortunate breth ren either to tear to pieces and toamp upon some of tho orthodox political econ omies or to take from them the kernel of truth which they contained, and to make such sternly logical application of them as to frighten tho now wealthy and hon ored fashionable lions and pets of aristo cratic drawing rooms from whoso hon est utterances of poorer and better days they have been taken. Edward Mc- Glynn. lluilroad Slaughter Peug. During the discussion in the senate over measures for the protection of rail , way employees Senator Culloin said, in answer to questions, that there wero 1 ,100,000 freight cars in this country; that j there were 40 different patterns of auto j matic couplers used, and if tho owners of 50 per cent of tho freight cars agreed upon a particular type of coupler tho interstate commerce commission would fix upon that as the one to bo used. lie gave statistics of tho loss of life and limb by railroad employees through ac cidents, and said that tho country looked to congress to hasten tho timo when such tremendous slaughter would cease. It had been stated that tho number of rail road employees in killed and injured in eight years was equal to the total num ber of men engaged in railroad service in one year. These men, lio said, would bo safer if they were enlisted in the army in time of war than they wero now as , railroad employees. C'orrigun and the Knights. The statement has been published that one of tho causes for tho disagreement , between Archbishops Ireland and Corri i gan was tho hitter's opposition to the Knights of Labor. Rev. Father Lavelle of New York denies for Archbishop j i Corrigan, the charge. In a recent inter view Father Lavelle said: "You may | positively put down tho statement as false. On March 30, 1887, tho papers ' | printed a memorial presented by Car j dinal Gibbons to tho pope regarding the i Knights of Labor. Tho statement was I made in that memorial that lmt 2 out of tho 12 archbishops voted to condemn L tho knights The two lived over 1,000 [ miles from New York." Suppressing Labor Organizations. A Panama dispatch says: "The gov i eminent has issued orders suppressing all labor organizations and all secret so j cieties in the capital. 1 "Street gatherings are prohibited, and ; the plazas are strongly guarded by de ; tachments of troops. : "These stringent orders have been is sued as a consequence of the bloody | riots growing out of the attack on the • house of the Jesuit Professor Gutierrez by the workingmen, which resulted in i the killing of 100 men and the wounding ; of more than 500 others before it was suppressed by tho military." CONNECTICUT'S STATE PRISON. Grave Charges Made Against Its Warden l>y the New York World. NEW YORK, March 20.—The World prints several columns under the head "The Black Ilole of Connecticut," in which it says the state prison of Connecticut is a dungeon of horrors. The World goes on to say: "For eight years Samuel E. Chamber lain has been warden of this prison. Dur ing that time mauy men have been hurried into an untimely grave, many more have been driven mad. Indeed, the road from the state prison at Wethersfield to the Btate asylum at Middletown has been worn bare by a steady procession of men. "The warden admits that 10 men out of less than 30(1 go mad yearly. Others double his figures. Even the warden's estimate sends a chill of terror to the heart. "The punishment for offenses in this prison is confinement in a dungeon, abso lutely dark ami below the surface of the ground, whose walls reek with moisture. To these dungeons men have been sent continually who were sick or who were physicully unable to work. Men have been I found in them raving mad. Men more j fortunate have been taken from them dead. One man, a paralytic, rotted there. "Convicts in this prison have been beaten ) with loaded canes, and have been starved. One man who was dying was dragged from | his cell to a dungeon at midnight by the 1 warden. Six hours afterward he was found dead there. " Incredible as it may sound, the dun geons are for the sick. Warden Chamber lain believes that convicts never become i really sick. They say they are sick, but they say this to escape work. Often these same pick men die, but that, of course, is due to pure obstinancy. When a convict complains of sickness tho proper place for liiin is a dungeon. This is to teach him what the warden calls 'a lesson.' He is simply, in the warden's phrase, 'a dead beat,' and the place for 'deat beats' is a place of punishment." EXPLOSION AND FIRE. The Town of Litchfield, Ills., Visited by a Great Catastrophe. LITCHFIELD, March 22. —Fire destroyed the Keeler tlouring mill, and in an explo sion of mysterious origin that followed nearly every business house in the village was wrecked. Mauy persons were badly ! hurt by flying bricks and timbers. The damage to the mill is $1,000,000, to other property $150,000. John Cowie, head millwright, late of Waterloo, N. Y. t was instantly killed. It is estimated that $5,000 worth of glass was destroyed in the town. Houses iu Litchfield were shaken from their founda- I tions. It is believed that a spark from a ; passing locomotive ignited the dust in the mill and caused the explosion. When the fire started the citizens were awakened by the ringing of fire bells, and before many of them could dress they were stunned by the shock of the explosion and the next moment found the walls of their homes falling upon them. The explosion shook the earth over a wide area, while the atmospheric concus sion was felt as far as Decatur, a distance of 50 miles. The large elevator standing immediately across the Wabash track west of the mill containing 250,000 bushels of wheat was quickly in flames, and together with its valuable contents was burned to the ground. Ten or 12 cars of wheat standing on the house track were reduced to ashes. The Panama Verdicts. PARIS, March 22.—The jury in the Pana ma cases found Charles I)e Lesseps, M. Baihaut and M. Blondin guilty. The court, after deliberation, sentenced M. Baihaut to imprisonment for five years, to pay a fine of 750,000 francs and to the loss of civil rights. M. Blondin was sen tenced to imprisonment for two years and Charles do Lesseps to imprisonment for one year, the one year to run concurrently with the five years' sentence already im posed on him. All three of the convicted prisoners were condemned to pay the costs | and damages demanded by the civil parties \ to the proceedings. Ithodo Inland Politics.

PARIS, March 18.—The news of the death of M. Ferry astounded the city. No other event since Giimbetta's death has made such a deep impression. Only three even ings ago he was at the opera, and the day before his death lie'presided over the sen ate. Hundreds of politicians called at the house and inscribed their names in the visitors' book. The extra editions got out immediately after the announcement of the death sold everywhere in enormous numbers. M. Ferry's death was caused by heart disease. The affection of the heart from which he suffered was due to the effects of a bullet striking a rib near the base f of the heart at the ( TO time he was at dES tacked by Auber j flßpi tiu in - lfSß7 ' the morning, and . n !

All the members of bis family and Mine. Floquet were beside him to the last. His last few minutes were apparently painless. TREMONT TEMPLE BURNED. The Third Disaster by Fire to This Famous Boston Structure. BOSTON. March 30.—This city was visited by a thin! groat lire, which at one time threatened far worse disaster than resulted. No lives were lost, however, as was the case in both the other tires. The total property loss v approximate $400,000, the most of \\ hich will have to be liorne by the insurance companies. This loss •' mainly that, on historic Tre- ! mont Temp .which is practically in ruins. There was great danger at one time to that well known hostelry, the Parker House, but this was fortunately averted. The fire was discovered by a gas engineer at the Parker House and had already gained great headway, for when the fire apparatus ar rived the whole rear of the building was in flames. An alarm was rang in from the hotel, and a second and third alarm soon followed. Several streams were soon play ing upon the building, and after two hours of hard fighting the fire was under control.

BREMEN, March 21.—Intelligence has been received showing beyond any doubt that the missing steamer Naronic is lost. The British steamer Coventry from Fer nandina reports that on the morning of March 4. when in latitude 42 north, longi tude 40 west, she passed a lifeboat painted white bearing the name •'Naronic." The boat was floating keel upward. In the afternoon of the same day another lifeboat from the Naronic was passed. This boat gave evidenco of having encountered heavy weather. The mast and oars of the life boat had been lashed together and at tached to the painter and then thrown overboard as a sea anchor to keep the boat's head up to the wind and sea. Tl Wonderful Telautograph. CHICAGO, March 22.—An exhibition of Professor Elisha Gray's telautograph was given in the Home Insurance building. | The telautograph enables one to transmit instantaneously by wire a facsimile of his ! handwriting to a distance.

Wliat | ever is written at one end of the line is re , produced in facsimile at the other end. The Fair to Re Open ut Nlglit. CHICAGO, March 21.—1t was practically ; settled that whatever the fate of Sunday j closing, the rule at the World's fair will be I late closing. Chief Engineer Shankland j said: "The electrical exhibit is the finest I thing on the grounds. The people will i want to see it and they will be given a I chance. This means that the gates will be kept open until 11 o'clock. Any other rul ing would be the utmost folly." Squire Abingdon Read. NEW ORLEANS, March 20.—Squire Abing don, the rich Englishman who came here ; with Charley Mitchell and Jim Hall two weeks ago, and who was one of the most ; famous sports in Great Britain, died at the St. Charles hotel in the morning of pneu j mouia. _ A Committee Will Investigate.
