SOME of the papers are claiming that
Warren county is entitled to only eight
delegates in the State Convention.
This is en- error. The call Of the State
Democratic Executive Committee dis.
tinCtly states that each county is en-
titled to double the number of Repre-
sentatives It has In the Lower House.
Although Warren's representation will
be only four members after the first of
next January, it is now, and will be
until this year is out, five members. II
the Legislature should be called to meet
on the first of August, Warren would
send FIVE members TO the Lower House,
and Warren is, therefore, without any
sort Of doubt, entitled to ten delegates
in the Convention.

possible Brothers, answer for you, itil

The human brain, looking at these sleek

impossibility for Eng!ishmen. Such a
platitude of world, in which all working
borses could be we'll fed, and innumerable
working men should die starved, were II
not best to end it?'-[ Thomas Carlyle.
Our rulers had better cut this out and
paste it up before them in some prominent
place, and work out the problem, how
men die of starvation, and horses are well
kept There must be something radically
wrong in the organization Of modern so.
cietv, or in the distribution OF wealth, TO
Justify the rugged paragraph We quote
from Carlyle; unfortunately, it is too
true true, and sadly apparent in this
city, as elsewhere.
Is it not biting commentary upon So
ciety that such should be true. A vast
deal of denuncialion, has been properly
showered upon the heads of the rioters
who lately assailed the law, and insulted
its majesty. That is over, and no one en-
lightened by thepast can deny that SUCH IAN
outbreak could only grow out Of deep dis
tress and despair. A 'lealthy condition Of
society wherein the economic forces would,
be fairly regulated, could not have sent
into the streets such a vandal horde, as
prowled in Baltimore, Pittsburgh, and
Reading. Ye rich men, look well to it
ifthe cause is not reached and reme,iiei,
no man can tell what day, or an hour,
may bring forth.
Hunger does not think. There ru-t be
some such adjustment Of production a z..l

Within few dsys, delegation Il n
nels waited on the Hon. John B:.s5:z,
and made the following proposition:
"We will bind onr.eives to BE yc1-
slaves, to toll early and late as our strength
will permit, for you, during one or i've
years, and never will ak you for one Cent
of wages, if yon will only give Us and our
families plain and sufficient food, such
clothing as we really need, houses 10 ii:s
in, doctors and medicines when We ale
sick, and bury us when We die"
The company kindly stated it could not
afford to make the arrangement! The
miners do not ask money-only bread
Surely reasonable demand, and vet wise
men and learned journalists say this is
impossible.
If it be impossible to feed men, and de-
Gently bury them, m,-who are willing to
labor, the industries Of the country need
reconstruction.
Starvation has made the miners desper-
ate. Working cannot keep them alive, so
they are courting their seeming fate in
standing still. They have not ceased to
saffer, but they refuse longer to endure in
silence. They say with reason, 'If starva-
ton is to be our lot, we will meet it above
ground, without the added dangers of the
mines and the many perils incident to our
tolls"
When the mules at the brakes are well
fed and groomed, and the men who drive
them starve, change is needed I" In
the sweat Of thy brow, thou shall eat thy
bread" is the great compact, on which the
right to live rests upon.
