They Have Made Up.
From the Scranton Republican.
It was rumored lust night that John
M. Garroan, chairman of the state Demo
cratic committee, and John T. Lena
ban, of Wilkesbarre. had met In Hotel
Jermyn, smoked cigars from tho same
box and made tip their differences. It
is also said that they went a step fur
ther and exchanged confidences with
the result that they agreed that at the
coming state convention Mr. Lcnahan
would nominate ex-Marshal Walker, of
Erie, us chairman and that Mr. Uartnan
would second tho motion. The trio was
in this city yesterday and registered at
the Jermyn, so there is probably more
truth than poetry in the rumour.
An Appeal to Patriotism.
The publishers of the Philadelphia
j'remt announce that with every copy of
next Sunday's Press will bo given Jree a
line picture of the cruiser Philadelphia.
Tills picture will bo a companion to the
battleship Maine, which was given away
by the Press and will be an appeal to
patriotism. It will be larger than the
Maine picture, printed in eleven colors,
and will be well worth framing. Next
Sunday's Press will he fifty pages with
an eight page comic sections in colors,
so altogether the oiler is remarkable.
The publishers announce that the supply
of Philadelphia pictures is limited, su
that it is well for everybody to placo
their orders at once.
Two Millions a Year.

A POLYGOT COMMUNITY.
THIS IS THE TITLE OF AN ARTICLE
IN THE APRIL CENTURY.
A Writer In the Above Magazine Given
HIH Version of How KngliHli-Speaklng
Miner* Were Driven Out of the Anthra
cite Coal Field—Gross Exaggerations.
The Century for April has a group o'
papers on the coal region of Pennsyl
vania. Henry Edward Rood, who for
merly worked in Hazleton and is a son
in-law of (100. 11. Troutman, Esq., write*
of "A Polygot Community." Below i*
given his view of the anthracite region
in general and this section in particular.
That the pictures ho presonts are based
on truth might be conceded, but the ex
aggerations in many paragraphs are toe
gross to be endorsed as a whole. lie says
"When anthracite came into general
use, the original miners quickly estab
lished themselves in their adopted home
and ceased to speak regretfully of child
hood associations in Wales or in Eng
land. They had an abundance of work
here, and wages that would seem a
fortune in the old country. In those
days a Pennsylvania miner deemed it an
unlucky month if he and his two brawn}
sons failed to earn S2OO or more. The\
were not always paid at regular inter
vals before and during the civil war, for
money was not plentiful in this region
Hut they were credited fully on the
books of the company, and tbey were
permitted, if not encouraged, to pur
chase goods at
THE COMPANY STORK,
where could be obtained food, clothing,
toys, furniture, in fact, about all the
necessaries and comforts and luxuries
the miner had learned to use. Prices
were high, but wages corresponded, and
work was steady.
"Hut after the terrible struggle be
tween North and South came a period
of depression in business. Selling prices
dropped lower and lower, and wages
felt the result. Hut the average miner
did not understand this. He saw thai
the operator of the colliery took wife
and children to New York and Philadel
phia as often as in previous years, and
that the superintendent wore clothing
as costly as ever. He forgot that while
he had been spending his wages every
month, and often exceeding his account
at the company store, the operator and
other officials had been saving a por
tion, if not tho greater portion, of their
earnings.
"Tho miners grow discontented, and
talked the matter over. As the panic
drew near, they had more idle hours
than ever, and the complaints reached
the ears of smooth-tongued rascals who
"organized" them into
A HAND BEADY TO RKBIRT
any further "oppression," as the busi
ness changes wore termed. And right
at Lliis point let it be said that the old
timo professional agitators referred to
were wholly different from tho responsi
ble, intelligent men who have perform
ed such good service during recent years
by organizing and directing trades
unions like those which embrace print
ers and tho locomotive engineers and
lire men.
"If the anthracite miners of Pennsyl
vania had been wisely led and firmly
controlled in the early seventies, the
Keystone State would now bo spared
many black chapters in her history.
Hut such happiness was not foreordain
ed. Owing to some degro to the trou
blesome times, and in a greater degree
to a group of beings more devilish than
human, there sprang into active control
of a portion of the commonwealth the
most brutal, vindictive, terrible conspir
acy that ever a civilized community had
been cursed with in recent times—tiie
Molly Maguires; and it required the
genius of Franklin H. Oowen, of tiie
Reading Railroad, and in the marvelous
courage of Jamos McParlane, a Pinker
ton detective, to break it up, and hang
its leader spirits, not singly but in
groups of ton.
"Then within a few years, came the
'long strike' in the Lehigli region,

under any consideration. Week after
week and month after month dragged
by. Tho collieries remained idle; the
men, women and children almost starv
ed. Fortunes were lost In Hooded mines
and in burning breakers. And at last
one of the greatest of the operators sent
abroad to Austria-Hungary and brought
thenco to his mining patch in Penn
sylvania tho first of the 'foreigners,'
who have long ago succeeded, by their
very presence, in driving out all of tho
English-speaking miners who could
work elsewhere and who had the means
to remove their families.
"It is an old story now, how the first
of the Slovaks, Polacks, Italians and
Siciallans who came hero were compar-

ativoly intelligent, and learned readily,
In the course of a few years, the work
of mining coal. And wo all know that
year by year the immigrants of such na
tionalities decreased in
THE SCALE OF CIVILIZATION
until those who hayn come to the an
thracite field during the first half of the
present decade are, as a rule, much
more dangerous to the body politic than
the excluded Chinese; for not only are
they eager to work for wages on which
an English-speaking family would
starve, but they are superstitious and
murderous, and do not hesitate to use
dynamite if they desire to blow up the
home of one whom they particularly
hate. Also, unlike the average China
man, each of these foreigner-miiners in
sists on voting as soon as possible.
"The first purchase made by Slovak
or Polaek is a revolver, by Italian or Si
cialian a stiletto; then the new coiner
buys a silver watch; and after that is se
cured lie begins to save money. If tin
Slovak or Polack is particularly thrifty,
he postpones purchasing a revolver for
several months, and carries in one pock
et a round, hard stone, largo enough to
crusli a man's skull, and in another a
piece or Iron filched from the colliery
scrap-heap. The Italian or Sicialian
too poor or too penurious to afford a stil
etto buys, begs or steals a long file, and
sits down in his shanty or by the road
side, with two or three stoues, and
grinds it to a keen edge and a needle
like point. Then he fastens the blunt
end in a corn-cob, and has

of no mean possibilities. Once armed,
however, and provided with a watch,
tho foreigner manages to live at a total
expense of about 3d a month —and this
may be regarded as a liberal estimate in
most instances. The remainder of his
wages is saved towards the purchase of
a vineyard or a farm in the old country,
whither almost ail expect to return and
spend their days.
"More than one-half the total number
of immigrants Into the United States
are coming from Austra-llungary. Italy.
Poland and Russia. Official statistics
are not available, yet careful investiga
tion leads to the belief that perhaps fifty
or sixty per cent of tho arrivals from
the countries mentioned have had no
regular occupation, whilo possibly thirty
per cent may have been servants or
laborers. Five years ago Rev. Mr.
Maujerie, himself an Italian, in com
pany with the writer made a tour of
observation through the Lehigh region
of Pennsylvania and stated that in iiis
opinion the Italians working there were
about three centuries behind Americans
in their standards of living—that is. in
their ideas as to food, clothing, shelter,
wages, work and general intelligence.
Since that time there has been no im
provement in the class of immigrants
arriving at our ports."
No More Change* on the Valley.
For the present, says tho Philadelphia
Preen , there are to be no more changes
in the train service of the Lehigh Valley
Railroad Company, except that when
the new spring time-tables are gotten
up, the service will he adapted to suit
public, as owing to the withdrawal
of a number of trains a few months ago
there was some disarrangement made,
which is, however, to he remedied.
The removal of the general traffic
manager, general freight agent and
general passenger agent's offices, from
t his city to New York, will soon he made.
In all probability tho general traffic
Agent will take his department over on
April 30, but owing to tho offices which
tho general passenger agent is going to
occupy not being vacated until May 1,
this department will not get into its new
quarters until about tho middle of May.
The passenger earnings of the company
are showing a steady increase, which is
gratifying to the officers of the company,
in view of the recent curtailment in
operating and transportation expenses.
Catarrh Cannot bo Cured
with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they
cannot reach tiie seat of the disease.
Catarrh is a blood or constitutional
disease, and in order to cure it you must
take internal remedies. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, and acts direct
ly on the blood ami mucous surfaces.
Hal I'B Catarrh Cure is not a quack
medicine. It was prescribed by one of
the best physicians in this country for
years, and is a regular prescription. It
is composed of the best tonics known,
combined with tho best blood purifiers,
acting directly on the mucous surfaces.
The perfect combination of the two in
gredients is what produces such wonder
ful results in curing catarrh. Send for

Mining Operation* at Liter vale.
Work on the big stripping at Ebervale
is progressing very fast, according to the
Hazleton Sentinel, t'he excavation has
been started from a point immediately
behind tho old breaker and is now about
forty feet in deptii. The coal seams
have been pierced, also the old breasts
.which were driven up by the miners in
Ebervale mine years before tho place
filled iip with water. Cave-ins have
occurred in different placos, caused by
the rock above tho face of the breasts
giving way. T'liey are now hoisting
about 200 cars of coal per day from the
slope, most of which is stripping coal.
The company expects to take 600 cars
per day from this mine as soon as the
summer opens up.
It is the intention of the company to
strip tiie surface all tho way down to
the Ilarleigli tract. Tho work of ro
opening the old canal along the ridge is
in progress. This will divert much of
the water flowing into the mine and
carry it to tho creek, which empties into
the Nescopeck.

More Trouble In Hanks Township.
Sheriff Rresliu, of Carbon county, last
week served subpoenas on the members
of Ranks township school board to ap
pear in a suit of equity at Mauch Chunk,
the board of Reaver Meadow borough
having sued them for their share of the
state appropriation, which thoy claim is
due them, and over which there has been
some contention for some time. All
members of tho board were summoned
to appear. The Reaver Meadow board
had to close their schools a month ago
on account of a shortage in funds. Sev
eral attempts were made to have tho
two boards meet and settle the matter
between themselves.
Ranks township board received all the
money for appropriation last year and
tills was to be divided, but on some
account this lias not been done and this
is the suit instituted as a means to bring
the matter to a settlement.
