FREELAND, PA., JANUARY 15, 1900. Hard Times in Porto Rico. From the Philadelphia Inquirer. The industrial condition of Porto Rico at this time is not creditable to the United States. The island is in a bad way and its inhabitants are said to be much disappointed and discouraged. Their distress is partly due to tho ter rible destructive storm by which the country was visited a few months ago. That was a calamity which it was not in human powor to avert, and the worst of the dlstitution which it occasioned has been relieved by the contribuctlons of the charitable American public. The storm, however, has not been the only or even tho principal cause of the Porto Rfcan woes. The chief trouble is that the trade of the Island has seriously suffered from the fact that whereas the Spanish market has been lost as a con sequence of the transtor of Porto Itican sovereignity from Spain to the United States the American markets have not been gained. More than a year has elapsed since Porto Rico passed fully and finally into our possession. The change was effect ed without' difficulty or delay. The people of the island cheerfully accepted their new allegiance. It did not have to be forced upon them. They wel comed It with hopeful cheerfulness and expected with confidence that they would be benefitted in every way by the institution of the new order of things. That expectation has not been realized and the reason why not Is to be found in tho culpable failure of congress to provide by appropriate legislation for the admission of the products of Porto Rico to the markets of the United States. Having annexed the island and hav ing in doing so deprived its of their former customers we ought without delay let down the bars and admit them to a status of commericial equality. Incompetent Mine Officials. In the inquest at Uniontown last week on the nineteen miners who perished in the Brazell coal mine on December 23 last, the coroner's jury found that the foreman of the mine had been negligent in having failed to keep the mine in a safe condition; that the fire boss had also neglected his duties, and that both of these men were incompetent to per form properly the services required of them in their respective positions. In other words, nearly a score of miners died a horrible death because their safety while at work was not provided for as the mine ventilation law requires. Now that the cause of the disaster has been determined to be due to crim inal negligence of the mine foreman and Bre boss, it remains to be determin ed whether or not the coal company can bo held responsible in any degree for the death of the victims. The probabil ities are that the company cannot be held liable for damages under the technical interpretation of the law un der which repeated decisions are en record in tho courts making mine bosses and fire bosses wholly responsible as in dividual co-employes with the victims. The fund for the widow of the late General Lawton, killed in the Philip pines, has reached the magnificent sum of $75,000. This is an excellent demon stration of patriotic feeling, but what are we doing for the poor fellows who die In the trenches? Do they go to their doom unhonored and unsung? We have not yet heard of any fund be ing raised for the families of dead pri vates who fell in defense of their coun try. Their widows and dependants are left to fight alone for the pittance they may secure after a battle with intricate pension laws. It is stated that a "mathematical wonder" has been discovered out West In a child who cau add, divide, multi ply and subtract any number of figures without a slate, and can solve tho most intricate problems in algebra in a twinkling., But what is this "mathe matical wonder" when compared with the dabsters who count up majorities for the Republiban party at every elec tion in Philadelphia. A Scathing Rebuke. The reason why Secretary Long should resign is that he is unfit for his place and that his continuance in office can only work to the detriment of the navy, which has already been demoralized by his inefficiency. He has been the easy victim of naval cabals and has pandered to the Jeal ousies of naval officers instead of promptly stiffling them. His vanity has been flattered by toadies and tuft hunters and he has unhesitatingly yielded to their crafty insinuations and furthered their personal ambi tions. He has encouraged scandals and fostered favoritism. He has smirched the glory of the Santiago victory, which was "enough for all of us," by making it only sufficient for one, and that one an officer who was not in the battle at all. He is respon sible for the silly and fruitless naval procession to Porto Rico, which only resulted in seriously straining two or three battleships, which had to tow the monitors. He has taken sides with the insolent bureaucrat, Crown inshield, and the Board of Strategy in exalting some officers who had not earned the honor at the expense of other officers who did the real work. He has been Sir Oracle for Captain Evans, who has vented his spleen against higher officers by making false and vicious statements. The outcome of this miserable busi ness is the demoralization of the navy and serious menace to its discipline. If it is not checked soon it must result in naval anarchy. If Mr. Long had been a man fitted for his place, if he had been a fair and just man, he would have stopped at once all this intriguing of cabals. He would have checked jealousies and suppressed scandals. Had he not been a man blinded by vanity and seized of the idea that he was a great naval genius, he would have foreseen just what has happened and prevented it as soon as he entered upon his office. Secretary Root, when he was appointed, had no more knowledge of military matters than Long had of naval matters, but he has had that strong sense of jus tice and that degree of clearheaded ness to undo all the evils of his pre decessor's administration, correct his mistakes, suppress jealousies and scandals, and restore the discipline and effectiveness of the army. As Secretary Long is clearly incapable of doing this for the navy, he should of fer his resignation to the President, insist upon its acceptance and return to private life.—Chicago Tribune (Rep.). An Infamous Chapter. Congress cannot do better than to i£vestigate the seven-years' war in kaho between the mine owners and miners of the Coeur d'Alene District. The story of Wordner's "Bull Pen" is an infamous chapter in American history. On application from the Gov ernor the Federal troops were used to "pieserve order." This turned out to mean to coerce the strikers into sub mission Martial law was proclaimed anu the entire district has for a long time been virtually under the govern ment of an Irresponsible military com mander, working in conjunction with a Governor who is himself said to be under the influence of the corpora tions. The "Bull Pen" is a prison where the military authorities have confined the miners who were not sub missive. It is said that as many as 2,000 men have been held in this pen, and of the total number incarcerated only 18 have been graciously granted a trial by jury. Justice, law and evi dent principle of civil liberty have been violated by the military authori ties. 7he Standard Oil is mixed up in this disgrace. That monopoly owns the principal mines in the district, and the ease with which the whole power of the national government has been thrown against the men is another illustration of the "bad pre-eminence" of that infamous trust. Congress cannot evade the demand for an investigation. When the facts aie brought out we shall know more of trust methods, and the chronicle of infamy will be enriched by another chapter. That Open Door. Mr. McKinley's policy on the "open dcor," says the New York World, must suggest to the European powers—in cluding our dead friends and "allies," England and Germany—the old confi dence game called "open and shut," or "now you see it and now you don't." He would have an "open door" where we want to trade, but a shut door where others want to trade with us. He would unite with European powers in punching a hole in the Chi nese wall in the Celestial Empire, but refuses to detach one brick or stone from our 5 per cent, tariff wall. He askc written pledges from these pow ers guaranteeing American equal trade advantages with their citizens in the various spheres of influence in China, and asks (through Ambassador Choate), "Who shall dare slam the coor in our face?" but he will grant no corresponding privileges to Euro peans In the Philippines or elsewhere. The chances are that the European powers, including our new "allies," will say to Mr. McKinley: "You are asking something for nothing. Favors between nations are based on reci prtclty. A commercial door must swing out as well as in." A Business Combine. Testimony offered before the sub committee on transportation of the National Industrial Commission, now sitting in Chicago, would almost seem to throw a shadow of doubt on Mr. Hanna's assertion that such a thing as a trust does not exist in the United One witness, a prominent merchant of the Windy City, has sworn that five men who daily meet in secret session after the close of the Chicago Exchange, dictate the price which is to be paid to farmers for their their grain on the day following, and absolutely control that question. But Hanna probably would say that this was not a trust, but only a com bination for business purposes, with the methods of which neither the law nor the public have any legitimate concern. —Washington Times. The creation of auch a large volume of trußt securities to represent prop erty that formerly made no demands upon the market may test the gold standard severely at no distant day, notwithstanding the increased produc tion of that metal, JEFFRIEB' PROGRAMME. No Fault Can Be Found With Hie Pro posed Course. Frank Hough, in the Philadelphia In quirer, says: "No fault can be found with the pro gramme Jeffries has mapped out for himself. It is one of the privileges of the champion to nominate the order in which he will take on his challenges. He- has elected to meet Corbett first, then Ruhlin and then the winner of the proposed mill between Fitz and Shar key, or both of thom in the event of their failure to corae together. All this talk about this one and that one being "better entitled" to a meeting with the champion is all tommy rot. His decis ive victory over Fitzslmmons and his subsequent defeat of Sharkey settled that. If an outsider had any preference probably Peter Maher would have as much claim to that distinction as any other member of the heavy-weight bri gade, but there are so rights to prior ity which the champion is bound to recognize. His proposed meeting with Corbett in August will be regarded with some distrust. It savors too much of a family affair. Besides, assuming that Corbett was in good shape the night he met Sharkey at the Lenox Club, there would be nothing to a fight between him and JefTries. After with standing the walloping that Sharkey handed out in the recent twenty-flve round affair, there is no reason for be lieving that Jeffries will be visibly an noyed by any of Corbett's punches. As to Corbett winning out by his clever ness, that's all poppycock. It did not save him at Carson City with Fits, and would not have saved him at the Len ox with Sharkey. The Sallorman got to him, and whatever Sharkey can do In that line Jeffries certainly can. All this may be premature, however. It re mains to be seen whether a bona fide match is to be made. It may only be a sort of boost for Jim's interior decora tion plant. If the match is made, though, it will hardly be as big a finan cial winner as were the last two big bouts, for there are any number of fol lowers of the ring who will never be satisfied that Corbett meant to be on the level the night he met Sharkey. They will not take chances on another blarney." BASEBALL The Question of an Eight or Twelve Club Circuit. The National League magnates ab ruptly closed their five days' session with the understanding that they weie to be called together in the near future to listen to a report, to be made by a special committee, appointed to pro vide ways and means for the reduction of the League circuit. According to the expressed views of certain of the magnates, an eight club league is now almost a certainty. The appointment of the committee In ques tion means that the majority of the club owners are desirous of the reduc tion in the circuit. The matter has now narrowed down to one of how much money will be necessary to buy off the four clubs It is proposed to drop. The clubs in question are Louisville, Bal timore, Cleveland and Washington. The effort to reduce the champion ship playing season from 154 to 132 games was left unsettled also, with the hope that the special committee will be able to see its way clear to reduce the circuit. In case the reduction takes place each team will probably play 140 gomes. In case an attempt is made to have a circuit of ten clubs, with Cleve land and Louisville left out, it would take an expert schedule maker to tell just what could be done. That would leave four teams In the West and six in the East—a more conflicting and un satisfactory arrangement than the present twelve club affair. The meeting has served to break up the old cliques and combinations, but the general opin ion seems to be that the new combina tions which have been formed will not be lasting, and will not prove beneficial to the same. No attempt was made to eliminate rowdy tactics among the players. Such an effort would probably have been re ceived with ridicule after the peculiar meeting of the club owners Just ended. Winnings of a Jockey. "Yes, I have had a good season," said Jockey Spencer at Frisco recently. "It has been my banner year. I rode 102 winners, which heads the list, and I made about $25,000. Jockeys make big money, but you must remember they spend a lot. Money seems to be going in every direction. I don't throw my money away, but It seems to go. I have saved some of my earnings, but not as much as you would think." Spencer has given Ed C'orrigan first call on his services as long as he rides on the coast. Next year he will be with the Keenes, and will go to Eng and with them. The Californian ought to catch on right away across, for he can wait with a horse longer than any jockey in the saddle. According to his notion Charcornac is the champion two-year old of the turf year. "He was decidedly the best," says Spencer. "When he won the Futurity he was backsklnned and totally unfit for a race. Then, to make matters worse, he fell at the start. But in spite of this he won as he liked."—St. Louis Republic. L. A. W. Anniversary. On next Decoration Day the League of American Wheelmen will celebrate its twentieth anniversary. There are quite a number of founders who are still members of the organization, and it if proposed that they be given some identifying insignia on the anniversary. They are already entitled to wear "Veteran" bars, having been in the organization for 10 consecutive years, and the suggestion has been made that "Founders" bar be attached to this. There will probably be a general cele bration of the event throughout the di visions, and this will cause attention to be attracted to the fact that the league has passed so many milestones. Doubtless there are many wheelmen who will be astonished to know that the L. A. W. has bean in existence so many years, and the general public probably has no recollection that cy cling was of sufficient importance 20 years ago to warrant an organization. And still there are those who say that the pastime is a fad. The league is about the most mature "fad" that has developed in some time. Prospects for letgue base ball art not bright.

Rabbi Charles Fleischer, In his weekly discourse I ifore the congrega tion of the Temp 9 Adath Israel, in Boston, Mass., sharply arraigned President McKinley for his Thanks glivlng day proclamation, which he termed "bumptious" and a parallel to the German Emperor's "Me and Gott." Rabbi Fleischer Is the most prom inent Jewish orator In the east, and his congregation Is made up of the wealthiest Hebrews of Boston. His remarks caused a sensation, and after the services he was highly compli mented by many of the leaders In the church. After quoting from President Mc- Kinley's proclamation the speaker said: "The bumptious 'Me and Gott' atti tude of the emperor of Germany is parallel in passages of this proclama tion, relating what God and our pres ent administration have accomplished in a twelvemonth. "Our President bids us remember the material causes for thanksgiving In the growth of prosperity and the spread of his power. On that basis the next financial panic or a defeat at the hands of other people might at some future time deprive us of reason for thanksgiving. "It will not do to cheapen and ma terialize our gratitude in this wise, and, like Jacob of old. bargain with God and make our thankfulness de pendent upon our welfare. "It is reassuring to be told officially that, as a result of the efTorts of God and the administration, there has been a steady gain in the moral and educa tional growth of our national charac ter. "A mere moralist might not have noted this, but a politician could not fail to see the increased Interest of people in politics. I take it that just this is meant by the moral and educa tional growth of our national charac ter. "Surely no religionist, whether Jew ish or Christian or unaffliated, would claim that the increase of war spirit, the rousing of the slumbering beast In man, the sacrifice of our real national character as a peace loving and right eousness-pusuing people on the altar of international greed and grab, the promising with our ancient —and ap parently antiquated fundamental democratic principles for the sake of taking our place us a people on the lower plane of unurincipled imperial thought and practice—surely no re ligionist would contend that such facts indicate a ',-ain in the moral growth of our national character.' "But the Presid nt of our imperial democracy probably judges by differ ent standards. He in whose eyes two years ago 'forcible annexation would be criminal aggression,' and to-day such aggression and subjugation only part of the process of 'benevolent as similation,' must not be judged by those whose code of moralty is still adjusted to a single rather than to a double standard, to whom right Is still right and wrong is still wrong, wheth er an American or a Filipino, a Briton or a Boer, practiced or suffered the one or the other."
