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.

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.

Is Rossa a Citizen?
New York, Oct. 23.—Edwin F. 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."
Municipal Ownership of Docks.
Boston, Oct. 23. —The merchants of
Boston, through Alderman David F,
Barry, presented a monster petition
to the board of aldermen, praying for
the municipal* ownership of docks.
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.

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

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.

quest of his wife. He shadowed the

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.
