OUR FIFTY CENT JAPAN TEA-We
" have just received another lot of this ine
fa. ored Tea. 1t has been prpnouncoI superior
in flavor to the celebrated fifty cent Tea OF
Washington city by persons who have used
both. We invite those persons who have been
buying in Washington and those who want
nice favored cheap Tea TO give us u trial. We
are confident that one trial will convince you
that we sell better Tea Tor fifty Gents than can
be bought in Washington city.

Deliberate preparations are making for a
renewal OF bloodshcd and lawfessness In the
anthracite regions Of Pennsylvania, for such
will almost inevitably bo tho result Of tho
notion of tho mino-opernting companies IN
aociding upon general md complete sus.
pension Of work. Already there arc about
10000 colliors ont Of employment, and nm
other week will ada ncnrly 10000 moro to
the dangerous list. How to control this
vast army Of idle, desperate mon, md
prevent recurrence Of tho troubles
which invariably grow out Of a
total cossation OF work in the mining regions,
is a problem that seems 10 defy solution.
Tho determination Oh tho part Of the operas-
ing monopolists to limit tho production Of
conl and Keep up prices is as strong as evor,
in spite Of the recent disruption Of tho COM
binasion, and gloomy outlook is presented
for tho coming winter. Meanwhile, there is
no appreciablc break in ths price OF coal,
and If, M is claimed, the market is glutted
on account Of over-production, the con-
sumor gots no benefit from 1t. It is lsardly
to DO wondered at TINT tho unemployed
miners should becoma vicious md desperate,
and TINT Molly a1aguircism shonld flourish.

Sons as reason why thoy should not pay

what Is known to tho Inv rs township orgnn-
ization In this county has been abolished by
tho new Constitution, aud honce the County
Treasnrcr Is not tho proper officer to collect
tho taxcs. The plea IL not that the taxes
wero levied for IN improper or illognl pur-
pose, that the proceedings were fraudulent,
or tho tax unjust or unequal, or that the
property WIS not fairly responsible for'the
tar, or that tho Troasuror's receipt for taxes
would not DO an ample dofonso but the plea
was that tleso persons did not want 10 pay
any tax, but wanted to havo their taxes paid
for them by tho public, and therefore
they complained TINT township organiza-
ton lad been abolished, md that
they could not consoiontiouBly recog-
