A Good Beginning. The success of the first commence ment exercises of Freeland High School, held on Friday evening, should be grati fying to every friend of higher and broader education in our borough. The class of 1902 has established a standard which the classes of future years must work hard to maintain, and this was ac complished with an unexpected curtail ment of the school term. • Notwithstanding this disadvantage, the local high school has done well, and in the success of the class and its com mencement exercises every taxpayer can take pride that we have in our midst an institution that can show such excellent results. The only feature to be regretted this year is the smallness of the class, which • numbers six. This, however, is no fault of the school or its teachers. Many of the pupils who passed success fully through the first and second years' courses failed to grasp the value of the third year's teaching and dropped from the rolls. Time, howovor, and the prevailing sentiment for higher education, oven among the rising generation, will rem edy this defect, and, with the success of the 1902 class to guide them, future commencement exercises of Freeland High School are confidently expected to give still better results and greater satisfaction to its friends. John Mitchell's Advice. The United Mine Workers of Ameri ca, an organization to which the great mass of toilers in the anthracite region have bound themselves, has entered upon a struggle for better conditions with advice, warning and caution from John Mitchell which should not be for gotten until peaco again hovers over tho affected thousands. Among other things John Mitchell has said to tho anthracite mine work ers: "Remain at your homo, abstain from frequenting saloons and other undesirable places, and under all cir cumstances observe the laws." In those few words John Mitchell proves again that lie is a wise and safe leader and worthy of the confidence the groat organization has reposed in him. For their own sake and to the credit of their union, let the men and boys who are 011 strike keep John Mitchell's words In mind during this unfortunato war between capital and labor. They cannot afford to do otherwise, regard loss of what others may do. The Statement Criticised. In Friday's issue of the Press there appears a remarkable criticism of the financial statement of tho borough, as publlsbod In recent Issues of tho Tri bune and Progress. The writer, who signs neither his name nor a non-de plutno, waxes wrothy and becomes pa thetic, iu turn, at the figures which Auditors Krone, lioyle and Evans have prepared for tho taxpayers' perusal. Ho sums up tho report as a "falsely pulTed-up statement," and this in the face of the fact that tho borough's ac countants have sworn to its correctness. If one-half of the alleged "rottenness In our municipal government" exists, and Is known', the possessor of such In '• formation owes it to tho borough to step out In tho open in a manly way and present his proof that the financial statement is other than the auditors' ullidavits make it appear. WHAT THEY SAY Extracts From Various Sources, Indi cating Democratic Opinion On Questions of the Day. "Kill and burn, and spare nothing over ten years of age!" Nothing in Weyler's record justifies the presump tion that he would be guilty of such turpitude.—Troy Press. Hanna is a friend of labor —Chinese cheap labor. We always thought he was, notwithstanding some of his re cent demagogic vaporings. A few days ago when his pet ship subsidy bill was under consideration he showed his loVe for American laborers by vot ing against the Patterson amendment, which provided that no bounty could be paid to vessels carrying Chinese crows. Mr. Hanna still knows his business, but there is a great big gob of American workmen who don't know theirs. —Celina (O.) Democrat. The poor man is called a Socialist if he believes that the wealth ol' the rich should be divided among the poor, hut the rich man is called a financier if he devises a plan by which the pittance of the poor can be con verted to his use. The poor man who takes property by force is called a thief, but the creditor who can by legislation make a debtor pay a dollar twice as large as he borrowed, is laud ed. The man who wants the people to destroy the government is an Anar cliist, but the man who wants govern ment to destroy the people is a patriot. —William J. Bryan. • "It has been, indeed, a trying hour for the republic; but I 3ee in the future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safe ty of my country. As a result of war, corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will attempt to prolong its reign by working oir the prejudice of the people until ail wealth is aggre gated in a few hands, and the republic destroyed. I feel at this moment more anxious for the safety of my country than ever before; even in the midst of war. God grant that my suspicions may be groundless."—Abraham Din coin. The Philadelphia Inquirer furnishes very amusing reading these days. It has always contended that Quay was not a boss; it has always resented arty charge that there was machine rule in this state, and it has always given its undivided support to whatever Quay demanded. Now, since Quay has been compelled to throw Elkin overboard on account of the had repute he has fallen into for obeying Quay's behests, the Inquirer just as vehemently insists that Elkin shall not retire at the "dic tation of Quay." Notwithstanding its former claims that there was no such thing as boss in the Republican party, it completely flops around by insinuat ing ingratitude on the part of Quay, and resents the effort of the "mailed hand clutching the convention and squeezing the liberty of action out of 5t," and other like expressions.—Lock Haven Democrat. President Roosevelt's boasted hack bone seems to have deserted him and he has yielded to the demand of the pension attorneys and leaders of the Grand Army of the Republic. He has disgraced his administration by per mitting these pension sharks to drive Hon. H. Clay Evans out of office. Evans stood for decency and economy in the pension office, and while he de nied no man a pension that could claim it rightfully or legally, ho did deny pensions to those not entitled to them, and in this way incurred the dis pleasure of the pension sharks. They have succeeded in making things so unpleasant that he has resigned. No matter what honors may be conferred on Mr. Evans by President Roosevelt he cannot escape the shame and hu miliation of yielding to a greedy gang of pension looters. —Memphis Com mercial-Appeal (Dem.). Senator Quay's friends and organs are now taking care to declare, at his instance, that no one who was re sponsible for the legislature of 1901 should be considered in connection with a place on the Republican state ticket, and that Attorney General El kin's connection with the legislature as a sponsor and adviser is a fatal weakness. We do not dispute the cor rectness of this. The legislature of 1901 has gone into history as the worst in the annals of Pennsylvania, or of any other state, for that matter. But what degraded it? Was it the power and ascendancy of the senior senator— was it not Quayism? Elkin, of course, failed in his duty, but he did so in his devotion to Quay. He had charge of the senator's campaign for re-election. It is a cool proceeding for Quay to unload his sins on the devoted head of Elkin, and that is precisely what he is doing.—Pittsburg Post. But the last defense, and the worst of ail is this —that it is inevitable that you cannot conquer those people any other way, and that if the work is to be done, there is only one thing to do, and that is what has been done, and I could road it to you, namely: Enter a village, surround it, take every house there und set it on lire; let the wretch ed people escape with what they have upon their backs. Are there women in childbed? Send some soldiers in— and it has been done —to take them by the heels and drag them out and leave them in the fields, while we sing, "Nearer, My God, to Thee." It is to close with these wretched creatures and induce them to raise a Hag of truce, and as they draw near, to shoot them. It has been done. It is to Hond out scouting parties and simply slaugh ter everything above 10 years old. It reminds ns a little of the story wo heard in the early chapters of St. Mat thew, only Herod took them a little younger; hut General Smith thinks 10 years old and upward will do. —Rev.

Leon Washburn's circus train has been sidetracked on the Jersey Central Railroad at Somervllle, N. J., with forty of its performers and canvasmen suffer ing from a malignant form of poison.

The grand castle of Knights of Golden Kaglo, in session atShamokin, by a vote of more than two-thirds of the members prcsant, decided to expel J. D. Barnes from the organization. Barnes, who is a Philadelphian, was formerly grand master of records, and was charged with irregularity in his accounts. William P. Krauss, a justice of the peace of Lynn township, and one of the best known Democrats in Lehigh county, swallowed a quantity of horstj medicine in mistake for stomach bitters, lie died several hours later. One of the White Haven powder mills blew up Friday evening and Charles Hockrnan, a workman, was hurled into the air with the building. He fell into the Lehigh river. His only injuries are burns, but they are very severe. The funeral of Ueorgo Sumlcy, a United States soldier who died of peri tonitis while in service in the Philippine Islands, took place yesterday afternoon from the home of his father, Frank Sumley, in Duryea.
