WE DENOUNCE PROTECTION AS A FRAUD, A ROBBERY OF THE GREAT MAJORITY OK THE AMERK AN PEOPLE FOR THE IIKNEFIT OF THE FEW.— National D* mocratlc Platform. While Hines is denying all connection for nay, with the tariff st licdule in behalf ol" the Hazard Company, why does he not dcuy the story current, in the mouths of everyone, that he was heavily paid by tlie lace mills for work done in their behalf ? This is not an insinua tion, but a matter that is boldly talked of and bruited about the streets.- Il'.-if, Newsdealer. Hines so far forgot his duty to his party as to accept an attorney fee from a lace company thut wanted higher duties on imported laee curtains. As congressman he voted for the Wilson bill, but as the paid attorney of a lace manufacturing company he 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. AVilkes-Barre Record.

To the credit of the Democratic press of the county, and tho Demo cratic orators alro, they have refrain ed from trying to deceive the voters in regard to the record made by Con gressman Mines in congress. They do not tell the people that he stood up and fought for the principles of the party or that he worked as a Democrat should work for tariff re form. They realize that such asser tions could not be truthfully uttered or printed, and by their silence upon our congressman's doings in the last house they acknowledge the correct ness of the claim that Hines has been false to his party and to the pledges he gave to the people when a candi date in 1892 The country, in 1892, demanded a radical revision of the tariff laws, and to do this the reins of government in* every branch were placed in the hands of Democrats. Some Demo crats were faithful to the people who elected them, others were faithful only to the lobbyists of the lace fac tories, carpet factories, etc. One of the latter class is a candidate again, and in daring to aspire to the position he defiled, ho insults every believer in Democratic doctrine in Luzerne county. Let the trusts and monopo lists give him a pension. He has served them faithfully and well. The citizens of the district want no more of him or his "Democratic protection." The -1 fillers' Tribune, of Olyphant, Pa., makes a vigorous protest against the dockage rule practiced in the Lackawanna region. D, calls upon the miners to take a united part in the next election and "to see to it that the men whom you select are in favor of wiping out tho present thieving system." We agree with our name sake in all it says, but Billy Hinea was around hero two weeks ago anil said that when he was in the legisla ture he had a dockago bill passed which protected the miners from the thieving operators. From the Tri bunes statements we are inclined to think that Billy's dockage bill was something like bis semi monthly pay law or his company store act—a lot of nicely worded platitudes meant only to hoodwink the miner. Score another for "Little Billy," the father of "fake" labor legislation. Communications relating to the private affairs of candidates are not the sort of arguments necessary in a campaign like this. Two of that kind are now before us, and both treat upon the same subject in some what the same style. The TRIBUNE is well aware that one of the candidates now asking for votes in this county is dishonest, publicly and personally. For over a year past we have been showing that he is such in his official actions, and the effect is so encourag ing that we do not care to stoop to an exposure of his dishonesty in purely private aftairs; therefore the writers j of the communications referred to! will please excuso us from publishing 1 the facts sent to our office this week. [ The books of the TRIBUNE give abun dant proof of the candidate's dis- j regard for legitimate debts, but he can be defeated without getting down j m to his own level, which is that of a i professional deadbeat and blackguard. .Sporting goods of every variety, guns, ammunition, etc., at A.

I'OJMl list* Make Known SOIIH* Important Facta Which Are Corroborated by "Ink- , horn/' a Responsible Writer Connected With an Independent Taper. From the Wllkes-Btirre Telephone. As the campaign pronresses it becomes more evident every day that the Demo cratic party in Luzerne county was never before so badly demoralized as at pres ent. The rank and file of workingmen and farmers, who have hitherto proved loyal to Democratic principles, are thor oughly disgusted and dissatisfied with party dissensions and misrule in the af- | fairs of the county, state and nation. The best informed workers and leaders j look upon the defeat of Congressman J Mines for re-election as a forgone con clusion. They say that his political career, covering a period of nearly lif-) teen years, has been that of a most con sumate self-seeking demagogue, who j foisted himself into piominence and position by duping the workingmen of the county with false pretenses of sym pathy while posing as the champion of organized labor. At present he is making a most des perate struggle for re-election by speeches against his Republican opponent whom he denounces as the representa tive oflmonopoly and corporations. This has been Mines' favorite campaign logic for years—and it must be admitted, even by his worst enemies, that it has served the purpose of keeping him in of fice to the detriment of Luzerne Demo cracy. At last the leaders find in the public record of Mines ample evidence to prove that he is simply a selfish polit ical schemer, ambitious to secure the spoils of otlice for himself and his per sonal following, regardless of the best interest of the party. In a circular recently issued by the Populists to the voters of Luzerne county the statement is made that Mr. Mines is today the owner of real estate in this city valued at $20,000. Besides this he owns several hundred acres of land in Buck township, with a fine summer residence worth four or five thousand dollars and the famous "Sock's Pond," otherwise known as Lake Ida. The circular referred to goes on to show, that while the Democratic candidate for congress is continually raising his voice against the representatives of "combined wealth" and grasping monopolists, he has been steadily grasping every oppor tunity to become a millionaire himself. I have no fault to find with any man who acquires wealth in the pursuit of any honorable profession, but I must condemn without Btint any political gambler or professional office-holder like Mines, who never tires of defaming and denouncing his political opponents and boasting of his independent principles while secretly scheming to enrich him self at the expense of the public. The circular from which I have quoted exposes the fact that by speculating with other people's money Mines has become one of the principal stockholders in the Pennsylvania, Lehigh and Eastern Railroad Company. This *road was originally capitalized at $5,000,000 and mortgage bonds for $150,000, issued by the New York Security and Trust Com pany, were purchased at a big discount about two years ago by Mines, J. R. Perry and other parties in this city and Pittston. The charter of the road was obtained under the act of assembly in 1889. The main line was surveyed from Tomhicken in this county to Mattamoras in Pike county. From those who are in terested in the enterprise it is learned that Congressman Mines has devoted much of his time and services during the past two years inducing New York capitalists to buy the bonds and advance two or three million dollars to construct the P. L. & E. R. R. From the nbove it will be seen that Mines can no longer lay claim to the support of his old-time friends among the workingmen, for he must be classed as a coal operator and railroad magnate. It will therefore be imprudent for him to continue making speeches to the far mers and mine-workers about his Re publican opponent being a representa tive of "combined capital and mon opoly," especially since it is generally known that by means only known to himself Mr. Mines holds title to a con siderable tract of coal land in the vicin ity of Kingston and has a suit pending against the Kingston Coal Company for $50,090 damages for coal mined from his property. Looking back at his political career since 1809, when he first made his debut as a member of the miner's organization in existence at that time, I must give Hines credit for being one of the shrewd est self-seeking politicians that Luzerne county has ever produced. As an alleg ed friend of the workingman he has gained considerable wealth, while the con dition of the toilers in the mines and on the railroads, whose votes have elevated him to the position of a law-maker at Harrisburg and Washington, is today more helpless and degrading than it was before Hines and other pretended cham pions of labor were elected to positions of trust and responsibility. The object lesson which honest work ingmon of all parties should learn from the public career of such men is this. The biggest enemy with which they have to deal outside of unscrupulous employers, who rob them of legitimate earnings, is the ambitious office-seeking demagogue who tells them that all their ills and grievances can be remedied by electing him to the state legislature or congress. There is no citizen in this county who knows Congressman Mines, that will deny he is just that kind of a politician. And in the light of his past public record it is not possible to successfully dispute the fact. SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE. Wilkes-Barre, Pa., October 22,1894. EDITOI: TRIBUNE. —Assuredly the TRI BUNE secured a big advertisement through its hold and unqualifiedly aggressive anil truthful disclosure of the record made by "Little Billy Mines." Everybody has been talking about the scathing editorials calling attention to Mines' unscupu'ous modes, and a large number of honest Democrats who happen to know as much about Editor Buckley as they do fibout Mines, applaud the denunciation of the Democratic congres sional candidate as just and timely. It may be encouraging to the anti- Mines voters in and about Freeland to know that the methods adopted by Mines to belittle the editor of the TRI BUNE will cost him many solid votes in this section of the county, which other wise might have gone to him. Mines is losing ground every day and no man knows it better than Chairman Smoulter, of the Democratic county committee, who can't hold him in check. Mines seems to have little idea of diplomacy, or he would not conduct his personal canvass as he does. There is a com plaint, too, that he cares for nobody else on the ticket but himself. Ilis associ ates have caught on to this fact and are governing themselves accordingly. The appeals Tlines makes to the "down-trodden" workingmen, as he calls them, have lost their significance in the light that has dawned upon these same workingmen, that he cares only for his own interests. His promises amount to nothing and are only made to get votes. After he is pushed through the "dear workingmen" may go to grass for all he cares. The truth of the matter is, and it is openly announced by some of the mana gers, Ilines is the incubus that weighs the ticket down and which threatens to bring disaster to it. This fact is well known to the Republican leaders and they are taking advantage of it. In comparison with John Leisenring, who represents the principles of his party without fear or evasion, Ilines is nowhere and that is the reason why many, very many, honest sons of toil mean to vote against the man who thinks more of his own selfish interests than of the party which made him what he is today. Mr. Editor, your defense of the Demo cracy of Luzerne county and your brave attempt to save it from disgrace by re electing tills man has struck a responsive chord in the rank and file of the organi zation. The Democratic voters of this congressional district will not dishonor themselves next month, and had the opießtion been placed before all the voters of the party as you have placed it before the readers of the TRIMTNE their answer would be an awful warning to Demo crats who in future days would be temp ted to stray away from the path of duty and righteousness. Mr. Editor, keep up your noble fight. Your boldness has encouraged others to throw ofT the bonds of submission, and on election day your true JefTersonian position will receive such a vindication from the independent "upper end" that cowards and pot-hunting politicians will bow their heads in shame for trying to besmirch the grand history of our party with the name of William 11. Ilines. Strike out, Democrats, strike straight out from the shoulder. Fight for the preservation of our party's principles in Luzerne county and by your ballots pro claim that you are Democrats—that yon believe in living up to Democratic plat forms and in tbe teachings of Jefferson, Jackson and Cleveland—show to the na tion that you think more of Democracy | than you do of her betrayers, do your duty by rejecting the false candidate who now asks you to indorse him after committing treachery to our party in congress, a charge which he does not deny, a charge which should and will I bring defeat upon any man who is guilty of it in Luzerne county. Sincerely yours, with the hope that every real Democrat on the ticket, from Singerly to Hart, will have a rousing majority. Democrat. For a University Chair. The members of the A. 0. H., B. of A of the country have received notices of the levy imposed for the establishment of a chair in the Catholic university at Washington. The purpose of the pro \ fessorship at the university is the preser vation of the Irish language, history and | literature. It will require a subscription of $50,000 to maintain this separate branch of education and that amount will be collected from the members in the United States and Canada. The matter originated in the New Orleans convention two years ago and was confirmed at the convention recently held inOmaha, Nebraska. Aboutsl,soo will be collected in Luzerne county and $1,200 in Lackawanna county. An as sessment of 75 cents lias been placed upon each member. Old newspapers for sale.

Uhl, of the passport bureau at Washington, lias declared that O'Donovan Rossa Is not a citizen of the United States, although he has been voting here for a number of years on papers granted by Judge Larremore, in the Court of Common Pleas, Dn Feb. 21, 1871. Mr. Uhl holds that these papers are worth less on the ground that the qualifica tion of five years' continuous residence was not complied with. Mr. Ulil's rul ing 011 this subject accounts for Mr. Rossa's return from England last spring earlier than he intended. Mr. Uhl refused to grant him a passport, and he did not in consequence, visit Scotland and England, where he In tended to deliver some lectures. Mr. Rossa has sent a letter to President Cleveland reciting the facts In the case and calling for Mr. Uhl's official scalp. China Wants the War Continued. Washington, Oct. 23.—The officials of the Chinese legation give an emphat ic denial of the reports that China is negotiating with Japan for peace or that she will at this time seriously con sider overtures of poace from any source whatever. "The winter season," said one of these gentlemen, "Is so near at hand that hostilities must necessa rily cease,in a few weeks until' warmer weather of next year. China, mean while, will continue her preparations for war. What conclusions may be reached during the Interval between now and spring no one can foretell, but the present sentiment of the Chi nese people Is for a continuation of the war, and the rejection of any proposals looking to an agreement of peace."

FIGHT FOR A RIO RAILROAD. Present Directors Claim To Have a Majority of Proxies. New York. Oct. 23. —The managtment of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad company now control a sub stantial majority of the proxies to be voted at the annual eleeion on Oct. 25, in Top.*ka, Kan. The represena tives of tie Amsterdam stockholders turned over proxies for 50,00 shares to the directors' committee, which carries with it proxies for 104,000 shares of stock held by the foreign arbitrage houses in New York. This, the protec tive committee acknowledged, gives a large majority to the management. The proteotive committee, however, have not yet given up the fight. Gen. Benjamin Tracy left for Topeka Sat urday night, and, it is intimated that, if the Kansas laws will permit, an in junction will be brought to prevent the voting of the so-called arbitrage stock on the ground that it does not repre son actual ownership. The arbitrage nouses in London and Amsterdam Iceep the stock and issue certificates to their clients. The opposition will claim that the great house of Raphael, in London, refused to give proxies for 4,000 shares to the holders of certificates issued by them to the actual owners of the stock. There are about 250,000 share? con trolled by the arbitrage houses, all of which will be voted for the manage ment, except 33,000 shares held by I. & S. Wormser, who gave their proxy to the protective committee. Besides the attempt to attack the validity of the arbitrage proxies, the protective committee will endeavor to Inforce the Kansas law of cumulative voting, which would give them an opportunity to elect four or five directors. Messrs. Robert Fleming and Sligo de Potho nler will hereafter act as the local joint representatives of the Atchison bondholders' committee, of London. Mr. Ludon. representing Dutch inter ests, is expected shortly. Expert Lit tle's report is nearly completed. A LEAK 84) M EW H ERE. If Stamps Can lie Stolen Govern ment Notes May Re Too. Washington, Oct. 23.—The men who are now being prosecuted for stealing stamps from the government bureau of printing and engraving have been en gaged in a very serious business at small profit if the charges against them are proved. It will not pay any one to go in the business of stealing stamps from Uncle Sam. A few dol lars worth of postage stamps Is a very bulky matter, and It Is practically Im possible for a thief to dispose of enough to make a day's wages without getting caught. Stamps are not sold In large quantities except by author ized agents of the government and any one having many for sale will promptly fall under suspicion. It Is very remarkable that more than fifty pounds of stamps could have been stolen from the bureau of engraving and printing without the loss being discovered until the complaints of shortage of shipments was received from postmasters in other cities. Ap parently this system of robbery might have gone on Indefinitely If the bu reau had been dependent upon Its safeguards of watchfulness for the dis covery. It is 'boasted by the treasury department that It Is impossible for anything to be stolen from Hie bureau, yet these thefts have been in progress for some time. It Is somewhat strut ling when you come to consider that in this same bureau, under the same sort of protection, are printed all the greenbacks, coin certificates, Internal revenue stamps and bonds of the gov ernment. If stamps should be stolen In such quantities what assurance Is there that the engraved and printed representatives of much greater value have not been or may not be stolen. Broke His Contract. Wabash, Ind., Oct. 23.—A damage suit has been filed in the Wabash circuit court testing how fur a contract be tween an employer and employee is binding. The plaintiff is Nathan Mey er, proprietor of a hat works in this city. Three years ago Oscar Bush, a printer, who has charge of the file let tering on the Interior of hats, was brought from New York city. A month ago he signed a contract to work for Meyer for two years at S2O a week. Friday night Bush sent word that he did not intend working longer, and when reminded of his contract, said it made no difference, as he was going east, unless Mr. Meyer raised his wages. Mr. Meyer instituted suit for $5,000 against Bush. Meanwhile the factory is closed, 200 persons are out of employment, and the works will not start until the latter part of next week, when a skilled printer can be hired and brought here. Cholera Decreasing. Washington, Oct. 23.—'The latest ad vices received by the Marine hospital service show that cholera is on the de crease. The weekly communication of Surgeon Irwin, stationed in London, states that there Is a steady decrease In the epidemic everywhere, amounting In the case of Austro-Hungary, to nearly 50 per cent. The decrease In Russia is remarkable, too, and it is hoped that the advent of cold weather will put an end to this epidemic entire ly. There are still many cases being reported in Holland, Belgium and France, but they seem mostly of a sporadic nature and nowhere assume an epidemic form. The health of Mar seilles is now so satisfactory that the medical inspection of all vessels leaving has been discontinued. Say They Will Marry. Syracuse, Oct. 23. —Rev. Frederick G. Blngley, of Boston, and Mrs. John S. Wells, of Rochester, who eloped from the latter city Oct. 2. have been located in this city. They have been living sep arately. Bingley has been preaching in the missions and churches of this city. Wells came to this city Saturday in 1 quest of his wife. He shadowed the couple, and after they had parted had a stormy interview with Mrs. Wells. He will bring suit for divorce. Mrs. Wells and Bingley say that they will marry. Bingley has a wife living In Buffalo. Buncoed Out of $5,000. Waverly, N. Y..
