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.

Congressman Hines, of a Republican protee-
Luzerne county. Pa., tionist,other tilings be

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."

lline* an a Cowardly Slanderer. |
When a man attacks the character of!
another in a small mining village and !
then refuses to repeat his words a few
evenings later at a place where a larger
and an expectant audience would hear j
them, does he not set himself down as i
a cowardly slanderer? fn liis speech at i
Milnesville last week Hon. 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. Tlds Is a remedy, however, that
will hardly become popular.

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<.

Thomas M. Waller of New London was

governor will accept.

Lease Lost. %
New York, Oct. 16.—1t was reported
that the Northern Pacific company had
lost the lease of the Chicago terminals
to the Baltimore & Ohio. The officials
of the Northern Pacific are in no alarm
over the matter, as they are confident
that there will be found some memo
randum of the contract with the Balti
more & Ohio. The use of the Chicago
terminals Is so Important to the Balti

tained that tiie Baltimore & Ohio will
not continue to use the terminals and
pay the rental agreed upon In the lease.

Against Church Union.

his visit to Rome therefore until No
vember.
Dipht licria Epidemic.
Holllduy sburg. Pa., Oct. 16. —Diph-
theria has become epidemic in Franks
town township, this county. The town
ship public schools have been closed to

' York city fresh air children.
TRUST SECRETS SOLD.
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

dest feature of the recent storm was

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.

vention here and nominated Ezra !•
