WE DENOUNCE PROTECTION AS A FRAUD, A ROBBERY OF THE OREAT MAJORITY OF TIIE AMERICAN PEOPLE FOR THE BENEFIT OF TIIE 1 rv.w.—Xatiunul lk mocratic Plat fur in. While Hines is denying all connection for nay, with the tariff schedule in behalf of the Hazard Compuny, why does he not deny the story current in the mouths of everyone, that he was heavily paid by the lace mills for work done in their behalf? This is not un insinua tion. but a matter that is boldly talked of and bruited about the streets.- -W.-ls. Xcwadcnlcr. Hines so far forgot his duty to his party as to aeeept an attorney fee from u lace company that wanted higher duties on imported luce curtains. As congressman he voted for the Wilson bill, but as the paid attorney of u hue munufucturing company ho lobbied for in creased duties on imports. When a man of that character implies dishonesty in others it is a trick to divert attention from his own moral turpitude. H'ilhex-Uarre liccirrd. "LaeeCurtain Hines"!

Editor Steel, of the Minersville /' ''re Press, is another Democrat who prefers to see Republicans sent to congress instead of men who are Democrats only in name. In oppos ing Congressman Reilly, whom he claims has almost wrecked the party in Schuylkill, he says: "Democrats be true to your party by refusing to vole for your party's worst enemy." That is sound advice, and applies to the Democrats of Luzerne as truly as it does to their Schuylkill brethren. Let no man escape who has been un faithful to bis constituents in con-1 gress. The invitation extended to Con gressman Hinos by the Newsdealer, printed in this column again today, to deny that he was paid by the lace mills, is yet unanswered, and the paragraph following it, from the Wilkes-Barre Jlecord, is a direct charge which any congressman who calls himself a Democrat would re sent, if he wore not a boodler and guilty of doing work against his par ty. The conclusion arrived at by the Newsdealer in this matter is that "Hines dropped the investigation as though it had been a hot poker. Guess it was pretty hot on the only end of it that was available." During bis short visit in the fourth legislative district Judge Rhone ad ded many friends to the thousands he already has in the county. The peo ple of Luzerne, irrespective of party affiliations, believe in maintaining the judiciary of the third largest county in the state free from political influ ences, and in electing Judge Rhone to preside over the orphan's court they will be carrying out the honor able custom that has made our judi ciary a credit to Pennsylvania. A vote cast for Judge Rhone will cer tainly be a vote in the interest of good government as well as a trib ute to a man who for twenty years has served the county without a blemish upon his record. The public schools of the union ahould be nurseries of patriotism. Most fitingly will the school children of Philadelphia celebrate on Monday, October 29, the two hundred and twelfth anniversary of the landing of "the good ship Welcome" at New castle, after that voyage of nine weeks across the Atlantic. I'enn brought a new gospel of civil liberty to the New World. As Superintendent Edward Brooks has declared: "New England, with patriotic purpose, com memorates the landing of the May flower, and the relation of that event to national liberty. Pennsylvania, and especially Philadelphia, should, it would seem, with the same patriotic purpose, commemorate the landing of the Welcome, freighted with a purer and nobler doctrine of human ity and civil liberty, unstained with any spirit of intolerance and bigotry." —Phila.

William H. Hines charged the editor of the TKIBCNE with receiving "boodle" from Leisenring j to aid in defeating him (Hines) for a re election. He also insinuated that the I editor was dishonest in his connection with the W. 15. A., which at one time j was a powerful labor organization in 1 this region. Furthermore, he gave the editor what is commonly termed a "rak ing up 011 general principles." .So far everything went smoothly with Mr. Hines. Nobody, on behalf of the editor, disputed his statements. The TRIBUNE gathered from the most respon- | sible witnesses present the substance of J his remarks, and then, on Thursday last, j said it would rely upon the congressman j to furnish the details of this very inter esting part of the campaign. In his speech here on Saturday even ing he referred to the TRIBUNE'S attacks upon him, but his language was exceed- I ingly mild and very disappointing to ] those who hail confidently counted upon j him repeating his Milnesville charges, as had been reported he would do. The details of the "boodle" business were not made public, there was no reference to dishonesty in the W. B. A., and, in ! short, the editor was "let down" with as little sensationalism as the speaker could consistently offer. i Now why was this? If it was good ' politics to abuse a man at Milnesville, why should it not be repeated at Free land? If it was true that the editor was "boodled," that he had been un- 1 faithful to labor organizations when a miner, that he was, literally, a wolf in sheep's clothing for a quarter of a cen tury in the vicinity of Freeland, if all this was true, which it was according to Mr. Ilines at Milnesville, why did he not enlighten the people here on these points? There were no objections, no requests, no intimidation from the editor or any of his friends to cause this sudden change of front or to keep from the Freeland people all that was told the Milnesville citizens. Mr. Ilines had the same liberty, the same opportunity, and was under no restraint that the TRIBUNE knows of to express himself on Satur day evening as he did on the preceding Tuesday. His reason for not doing so is i his own business, nevertheless but one i excuse can be offered for the congress- ' man's refusal to make the charges here ] that he did elsewhere. He was too cowardly to repeat his accusations at the editor's home, or he learned that he lied in making them and then did not have the manhood to tender a public apology. Whether Mr. Ilines made the state ments upon his own responsibility or whether they were the result of ill-ad vice given him by some of his local bene ficiaries, are questions of no consequence at present. They were untruthful in every respect, and, so far as his accusa tions in reference to "boodle" go, no one should know better than Mr. Ilines that the support of the TRIBUNE in poli tics cannot be purchased. His friends have reason to know the truth of this statement, for it has been tried in Mines' interest in this campaign and it failed. The trouble with "Little Billy" is that the TRIBUNE has driven him to the wall by exposing him as a traitor to Demo cracy, a dishonest congressman and a man who worked with all his strength to defeat the aims of the party which elected him. In despair, he attempted to retaliate, not by a denial of those charges, as an honorable and innocent man would do, but by accusing the edi tor of making these facts known for Leisenring's money. The cowardly slanderer, who is now delivering Demo cratic speeches after spending his time in congress as a lobbyist for Republican manufacturers, judges others by his own standard of honesty, but he will find that his last card, his lying and double dealing with the Democrats of this | county, was the greatest mistake of his life and will aid materially in consigning him to his political grave. No I>ouht of It. From the WUkes-Rarre Telephone. I The emphatic condemnation of Con gressman Mines in the FREELAND TRI | RUNE, coming as it does from an honest and staunch Democratic organ, will arouse responsive action among honest, upright citizens irrespective of party, who are tired supporting blatant, worth less demagogues for responsible positions of trust and honor. There need be no doubt but that Hines the bogus Demo crat and the bogus friend of labor will ihe relegated to political oblivion at the coming election. A MAINE man, a resident of Rock land, says he had suffered two years from the after effects of the grip till he was struck by lig-htning the other day. Since then he has felt himself entirely well.

POLITICS IN TFM ANTIPODES. Itudical Measures in N n Zealand aiul New Konih Wales. Vancouver, B C., Oct. 16.—The steam ship Arawa. which has arrived from Australia, Fiji and Hawaii, brings in teresting advices from the antipodes. The new South Wales legislature has passed a resolution by an overwhelm ing majority in favor of extending the franchise to women. Notice has also been given by Sir Henry Parker that on Nov. 13 the following motion will be made: "That in view of the rapid growth of Australia in the elements of national life and the number of ques tions arising out of that growth, which can be only dealt with adequately by a national legislature, it is in the highest sense desirable that parliament with out loss of time should resume the con sideration of the federation of these colonies under one national govern ment." The New Zealand government pro pose what is called the cheap money scheme, which briefly means that the government shall borrow £1,500,000 In London every year for advances to farmers at the rate of 5 per cent. The scheme limits advances on freeholds to two-thirds of their value and on leases to half of the le9ee's interests. In the legislative assembly on Sept. 12 during discussion in committee of the peace preservation bill, introduced by the government to put down the lawless outbreak occasioned by the strike, a great scene of confusion en sued ending in the suspension of seven labor members. Mr. Glassey appealed to the government to appoint a com mittee, with the object of endeavoring to settle the strike. The government was willing to accept several amend ments from the opposition if the first six clauses of the hill were allowed to stand. Mr. Glassey would not accept a line of the bill and absolute disorder ensued. Several members asked to be allowed to make an explanation, but the chairman threatened to name all. Nearly all the labor members rose to their feet and general disorder ensued, amidst cheers and cries of "the brutal government," etc. When order was re stored the premier moved that the chairman leave the chair and report no progress. Before the chairman could put the motion several members, who had become obstreperous, were re moved. FRIGHTENED WITH A ItAZOII. Sad Death of a Young Woman at Eust Kingston, N. 11. Amesbury, Mass., Oct. 16.—A sensa tional death has just come to light here, the facts of which have been guarded since Tuesday last. John Gill, an Industrious furmer, resides at Ken sington, N. H., about three miles north of here. On Friday, Oct. 5, his daugh ter, Miss Frances, a bright girl of 19 years, went to East Kingston, to visit some friends and while there man named Brown, a boarder at the house came into the room where Miss Gill was and commenced to shave him self. After a few minutes had elapsed he took his razor and playfully made a pass at ttic girl, saying that he was going to out her hair off. having a min ute before asked her how she would like to be shaved. As he started to ward her, she gave a scream, and throwing up her hands, fell to the floor in a swoon, at the same time her right hand came in contact with the sharp razor, cutting the palm of it. In spite of all efforts she died the following Tuesday from the effect of the sudden fright and from the sight of blood on her hand. M'ss Gill had been a sufferer from heart trouble for several years past. While in one respect blame can 1 he attached to the young man, the fact of the girl having been so long a suf ferer from heart trouble, any sudden fright, in the opinion of physicians, would have probably caused her death. May Have To Close Down the Courts. Trenton, N. J., Oct. 16.—The criminal trials in Mercer county may have to be indefinitely postponed owing to the condition of the county treasury and the existence of dual boards of free holders. Money is needed for the ac tual county expenses particularly the paying of witnesses' fees, hut the banks will not loan either board any money. Justice Abbett has suggested that both boards Jointly authorize the borrowing of money in which event the hanks would be legally protected and would furnish the money needed. If this is not done the business of the court will cease and prisoners awaiting trial will have to stay in jail indefinitely. Exciting Republican Primaries. Newark, N. J., Oct. 16.—The republi can primaries throughout Essex county last night were the most exciting held in years. Fights occurred in many precincts and several arrests were made. Assemblyman Elsie, who was opposed by many corporations because of his anti-monoply course in the last legislature, carried his district. He had to contend against the leaders in ills own party aa well as the corpora j tions. Dr. H. C. Herald, who is out ! against the regular organization, swept ills district. The contests wore all fac tional and it is conceded that the entire delegation will favor General Sewell for United States senator. Gov. McKlniey Speaks ut Home. Columbus, 0., Oct. 16.—An audience of about five thousand people greeted Gov. McKlniey at the Fourteenth reg ment armory last evening where he mads his first and to be his only speech here in the present campaign. There were many ladles present und a glee club sang campaign songs. Three hun dred students from the State university applauded occasionally with the col lege yell. Ex-Attorney General George K. Nash presided. Governor McKin ley's speech, for the most part, fol lowed the one made at Findlay three weeks ago, very closely. Makes Her American Debut. New York, Oct. 16.—Miss Olga Neth ersole made her American debut last evening at Palmer's theatre in Gattie's play, "The Transgressor," and was very favorably received by a critical audience. The drama, which deals with painful domestic complications, fur nishes ample scope for emotional abili ties, and the English actress fully sus- I talned the reputation which had pre ! ceded her. She was well supported by -1 an American company. Ei-liuv. Waller for CCIII(,ITS<. ! Norwich, Conn., Oct. 16.— Ex-Gov. Thomas M.

Groat Scheme of a Dishonest Book keepor. New York. Oct. 16—A suit which arises out of the giving away of some of the secrets of the Cordage trust was brought to trial before Judge Freedman in the superior court. The action is one brought in the name of Nesbitt V. Davenport, who for some years was the confidential bookkeeper in the employ of the Cordage trust at a salary of fourteen hundred dollars a year, against George 13. Hulme. The amount involved in the action is $20,- 000. It is claimed that on April 28, 1892, while Davenport was employed as the confidential bookkeeper of the trust he entered into an agreement with Hulme, in consideration of a promise made by the latter to give him $20,000, and also to sell him 5,000 shares of the stock of the Cordage trust, to reveal to him all the inside facts con cerning the financial standing of the trust for four years, and, in fact, to tell all the secrets of the corporation, which would be of great value to him in a financial way. Davenport says he di<b this and gave a list of the divi dends of the company, of which the following is a copy: March 20, 1888 $237,000 September 27, 1889 750,000 January 8, 1891 100,000 April 3, 1891 100,000 April 3, 1891 400,000 July 1, 1891.. . 50,000 November 1, 1891 350,000 A statement of the profit and loss account of the trust showed the total loss of the corporation to be $3,017,- 992.42. The account is as follows: August 1, ISB7, to December 31, 1887, profit, $287,313.67. January 1, 1888, to July 3, 1888, loss, $217,414.49. August 1, 1888, to July 31. 1888, profit, $869,259.34. August 1, 1889, to July 31, 1890, loss, $2,987,648.83. The slip of paper contain ing these items was handed over to Inline two days after the contract v. as made. Now Davenport Insists that inasmuch as he enried out his part of the contract Hulme should be compelled to pay him the contract price for the bargain. The claim of Davenport is disputed on the ground that the contract is an immoral one and against the statute of frauds, and the outcome of fraud and con spiracy. Moreover, it is alleged that he did not carry out the contract to' the letter, because the statement which he gave did not contain a true statement of the financial standing of the trust. On these defenses it is in sisted that Davenport cannot recover in .an action at law. The receivers have been subpoenaed to show their books, in order that it may be found how near right Davenport's informa tion was. After hearing some testi mony, Judge Freedman held that a servant in a confidential capacity had no right to sell the secrets of his em ployer, and dismissed the case. The plaintiff's attorney took the usual ex ceptions, and gave notice of appeal. Smallpox on Shipboard. Quarantine, S. 1., Oct. 16.—The steamer Kronprins Frederick Wilhclm from Naples, with eight cabin and 499 steerage passengers on board, was detained at Quarantine owing to the detection on passing the passen gers of a suspicious case in the person of a steerage passenger. Deputy Health Officers Talmadge and Sanborn were of the opinion that the patient suffered from smallpox. Drs. Dilling ham and Benedict of the New York health department, both experts in the handling of epidemic diseases, were called in, and after thorough examina tion, confirmed the diagnosis. The pas senger having been found mingling with his fellow passengers exposing all to the disease, the whole number of the steerage passengers will be vac cinated and transferred to Hoffman island to await the. development of the disease for a period of fourteen days. The cabin passengers will be disinfect ed and released. Dr. Bait lett's Resignation. Washington, Oct. 16.—Dr. William Alvin Bartlett, who has been thirty seven years in the ministry, and for the past twelve years pastor of the New York Avenue Presbyterian church which has the largest congregation in the city, has been compelled to resign on account of ill-health, and after his farewell sermon in November will leave for Europe. Dr. Bartlett is one of the most prominent citizens of this city and is president of several char itable associations and church socie ties. Regality of Pasters. Albany, Oct. 16.—A labor representa tive called at the attorney-general's office and inquired whether or not it would be possible to vote for the con stitutional amendments by paster bal lot. He was told by the clerk in the office to submit his question in writing, when an opinion would be prepared by the attorney-general. The object of the use of the paster is to enable the illiterate voter to prepare his bal lot before he goes into the booth, so that he may vote intelligently. Connecticut Baptist Ministers. Norwich, Conn., Oct. 16.—The twelfth anniversary conference of Baptist min isters of Connecticut was held in this city. In the business meeting Rev. Geo. M. Stone, D.

Four have died, nine have re moved from the state, four have been ordained and nineteen have entered the state and have been settled as pastors. Fifteen Fishermen Drowned. Apalachicola, Fla., Oct. 16.—The sad dest feature of the recent storm was the drowning of fifteen fishermen, all white, near Sand island, about ten miles from this place. It was known that these men were caught in the gale and until Saturday it was hoped that they had escaped. Since the gale subsided searching parties have been looking for them, and Saturday their bodies were found. Si< k of Corporation Senators. Belvidere, N.
