FREELAND, PA., OCTOBER 14, 1897. !
Fighting the "Respectable" Sharks.
The Philadelphia Inquirer is fighting a '
valiant battle against leasing the city's
gas work to a private corporation. Its
editorials in favor of the retention of j
this valuable franchise, and the operat
ing of it for public profit, are unanswer- |
able. Those who are arguing that the 1
people should turn over a thirty-million
dollar plant, and receive dollar-gas in i
return, which they now have, claim that '
the lessees are "eminently respectacbie'*
men and would do no wrong. The
Inquirer properly takes the ground that
"an ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure," that the city should not
give "eminent respectability" an oppor
tunity to do wrong.
The light is a pretty ono from this
distance, with the people on ono side
and the corporation sharks on the
other. The sharks, however, have a ma
jority of the councils and will probably j
win. That eminently respectable fraud,
John Wanamaker, is a stockholder of
the leasing corporation, and the threat |
that his page ad will he withdrawn from ,
any newspaper which champions the
the people's side of the battle has
closed the columns of the Philadelphia
press, except the Inquirer , against any
thing unfavorable to this, the greatest ;
grab of the century.
The latest labor organization to enter \
this region and hold out a promise of hope
to the miners and laborers is meeting
with unexpected encouragement. The
branches already formed have a large
membership, and it seems that the entire
anthracite field will be covered within a
few months. The United Mine Workers
of America is a union which has accom
plished much for many who have enroll
ed themselv.es under its banner, and if
the same spirit characterizes its actions
here as in other parts of the country, It
may bring a betterment of conditions
in the Lehigh region. The organization
is fortunate in possessing leaders
who know the wrongs to which mine
workers are subjected, and while the
latter act as a unit they are bound to
secure relief from some of their burdens.
The contest for the mayoralty of
Greater New York is attracting more
attention than any other political fight
in the country. The entrance of Henry
George into the campaign as the candi
date of those who want a man elected
has thrown the politicans into spasms.
There are live active aspirants—three
Democrats and two Republicans. •Hol
land," the New York correspondent of
the Philadelphia Press, whose judgment
on matters political is conceded to he
very good, says that present indications
favor < Jeorge's election. For New York's
sake, it would be well to have it so.
Paul Dasclfs vigorous canvass of the
county continues to make friends for the
Democratic ticket. The voters every
where recognize in him a man who is
qualified for the position, one who can
transact public business in the manner
it should be done. Dasch has caused a
split in Republican ranks which is
doing immense good for the whole ticket,
and the success of himself and associates
seems reasonably certain. There prom
ises to be an unlimited amount of in
dependent voting on November 2, but
the Democratic ticket will not suffer by
It.

The city of Boston was the scene of a
queer meeting a few days ago, at which
Charlotte Smith and a number of up-to
date women arranged a plan by which
all men will be compelled to wed. Mrs.
Smith declares that Jerry Simpson is to
have the pleasure of introducing the
radical movement to congress. The
scheme suggests the establishment of a
national matrimonial bureau. Since
Mrs. Smith considers that there is at
present no place in this country for the
unprotected spinster, she advocates the
setting aside of a plat of land to be
known as No Man's territory, where all
unmarried women may retire, to earn
their living free from the tyranny of
the sterner sex. Statistics show that
CO per cent, of the marriageable men of
New York and Massachusetts do not
take unto themselves a better half.
This leaves an immense surplus of un
attached women, and Mrs. Smith desires
congress to make an appropriation by
which 100,000 healthy, industrious
women may be transported to Alaska,
where they may stake out claims and
make fortunes, as do the male miners.
Congress failing in this, Mrs. Smith
wants some law passed which will com- '
pel men to marry.
Speaking of treasure, reminds us of
the Klondike gold fields, and the rush
there reminds old men of the California
gold fever, says an exchange. As it may
be in the new gold fields, there was a
great amount of money made in those ;
early California days that was not dug j
out of the ground. In 1850, our consul
at Valparaiso, Chili, went in with two j
partners on a flour scheme. They
formed a company, with $75,000 capital, I
bought flour in Chili at six dollars abar- j
rel, paid one dollar a barrel to have it
shipped to San Francisco, and there ,
sold it for sls a barrel. The company
kept it up for 14 months, and, having ;
realized $700,000, dissolved partnership, j
Something like that might be done in
the frozen north nowadays, and it
would pay better than the average gold
mine. Next spring we will hear of
hundreds who will wish they had
farmed instead of mined.
In Chandler, O. T., the other day Wil
liam Overman was the defendant in a
breach of promise suit brought by
Grace Allen. The plaintiff's lawyer in- !
troduced William to the jury by say
ing: "This is the male calf who took
buggy rides with this fair flower, lisped
dulcet strains of his puerile passion
into her ear, and now says she asked
him to take her buggy riding. Gentle
men, this lousy cur should be thrown
into a well filled with scaly snakes that
they might hiss and hiss at him for all
eternity." The punishment suggested is !
rather severe, but perhaps not too se- !
verc for a calf who lisps into the ear of a
flower in a buggy.
How much pleasauter it is to swing
in a hammock and watch a man strug

to swing in a hammock and watch a i
man struggling with a lawn mower,
fhnn.it is to struggle with a lawn mow- |

is to swing in a hammock and wntch a j
man struggle with a lawn mower ;

mower.
Lizzie Hagan, a bright girl nine years
of age, a few days ago swam the Ten- j
nessee river at a point which required
her to be in tho water nearly half an
hour, the distance traversed being
three-quarters of a mile. The feat was
accomplished without resting and al
most entirely by forward swimming,
she floating very little during the trip.
The test was made on? a wager of her
father, who followed in her wake with
a skiff.
Douglass White, of Montgomery,
Ala., killed a woman some five years
ago. For that crime, through mistrials,
reversals and so on, he has enjoyed six
trials. At the first he was sentenced to
death; at the second to life imprison
ment; at the third to 50 years' imprison
ment; at the next to ten years, and now
he has been acquitted altogether.
Singularly enough, also, the man is a
negro.
Kansas and Missouri are rejoicing in
big apple crops, while every where else

"Marry a man whose gaze is steady
