Movement Is Under Way to Send Solid Delegations of Workingmen to the Next Legislature. Seldom, if ever, has a session of the legislature received more attention from the miners of Pennsylvania than tho present one. Notwithstanding the fact that the state is the greatest industrial commonwealth in tho union, the num ber of laboring merf holding seats in the senate and house is so small that the fow who are there are powerless to shape legislation affecting the interests of workingmen. This has been demon strated so plainly in the recent past, in the trouble experienced in having passed acts which 140,000 mine employes have asked for, that the miners have learned that to obtain the legislation they desire they must bo represented by men chosen from their own ranks—by people who are qualified by experience to set forth the miners' claims for legis lation in a manner which the public at large will understand. Instead of pleading and begging for the passage of such legislation as they feel they are entitled to, the mine work ers of the state propose to place men In the seats who will respond to their wishes In all things which aro just and fair. With this end in view a movement is now under way to induce suitable men In every district lu the coal regions to seek legislative nominations a year hence. These candidates, it is propos ed, shall he men whose honesty of pur pose and sympathy with their fellow workinen cannot be doubted, and with the anthracite and bituminous regions both represented by solid delegations of men chosen from tho ranks of work ers tho miners of the state can expect to receive moro consideration at Harris burg than has been accorded them for years past. Among the miners who have been ap proached to accept the legislative nomi nation In this district is Councilman Peter G. Gallagher, of town. After re peated solicitation on the part of his friends and those who believe their in terests In the legislature would receive proper attention at the hands of such iuoii as ho, Mr. Gallagher has finally consented to become a candidate. The mine employes of Pennsylvania never fully realized bow weak they are in controlling and directing legisla tion until they presented their requests at liarrisburg this year, and if their ex perience at this sossioti counts for any thing there will bo many new faces from the coal fields in the next legislative body of tho state. Legislative Apportionment. The liarrisburg correspondent of the Wilkesbarre Record reports that tho plan for the legislative apportionment of Luzerne county, as agreed upon by Representatives Coray, Drum, llartman, Mahon and Haworth, was handed to the apportionment committee last even ing.

A preparation such as Kodol Dyspepsia Cure, which, with no aid from the sto mach, will digest your food, certainly can't help but do you good. Drover's City Drug Store. MISCELLANEOUS ADVERTISEMENTS.
