MINERS OFFOUR STATES.
HOLDING A vONyEnTlOK TO COMBINE

The Representatives of Fifty Thousand Goal
Workers Dlscussing the Hest Methods
to Secure United Action.
Pittsburgh Dispatch to the Times.
The inter state convention of coal
miners, which began its session in Pitts
burgh Tuesday, is composed OF delegates
from four states-Eastern Ohio, west
Virginia, Illinois and Western Pennsylva-
MIA. The gathering is of importance tor
the reason that it is the first effort ever
made looking to consolidation OF interest
on the part Of the miners of the states in
question. Heretofore the only successful
miners union was that maintained by the
men in the Pittsburgh district, to the
number of eight thousand or more. Ihey
stood shoulder to shoulder in the payment
of dues, but when it came to strike there
has generally been found some weak
kneed enough to ruin all the plans OF the
officers and organizers. Another great
factor in breaking up strike heretofore has
been the unusual influx OF miners from
other dirtricts, principally in Ohia. These
men would flock in and fill the places OF
strikers. Operators in other districts
would also help their brother operators by
| filling their contracts.
To end all this the present convention
has been called, and before it adjourns all
these questions will be thoroughly discuss
ed. The delegates present represent not
less than $4,000 bituminous coal miners.
AS a general thing the great mass of
miners are members of the Knights OF
Labor. Outside of this order. however,
there is what is known as the Union, COM
posed of miners who are bound on their
honor to abide by the results of delegate
convention. There are Knights OF Labor
miners and Union miners both represented
in the convention.
Tho Convention at Work.
The convention began it's session at
Knights of Labor hall on Tuesday. John
Mcbride, of Ohio, was made presid ent
Albert Cooper, of Illinois, and Joseph
Shoning, of Pennsylvania, vice presidents
John H. Williams, of Ohio, and John
Flannery of Pennsylvania, were made sec
retaries. There were Al delegates from
the four states. Each delegate was entitled
to one vote for every 100 men represented
by him. A number of visitors, represent
ing other labor organizations of tb'
city, were introduced. Having hat
experience in organization, the!

Confusion About Diffusion.

The Philadelphia Record declares that
It does not initiate against its theory
that tax on any article is always diff
fused so as to equally reach all other
property, to maintain that tax on oil
falls on the seller and not OF the buyer
the only difference being that the tax is
diffused through the seller instead of
through the buyer. We confess our
selves unable to understand how the
seller proceeds to get rid of any part of
his tax if he cannot shove it off in sell
ing his product. That is the only way,
30 far as we can see, in which he can get
back any part of the tax he has paid. If
he does not get it back it remains with
him. If it all remains with him he
pays it and no one helps him to pay 1t.
His workman, for instance, does not
for if he reduces his wages the buyer is
to get the advantage of this, under the
proposition, with which we start out in
the argument, that the seller sells at
cost or under. The Eecord holds that
the over. production Of oil enables the
buyer of it to fix its price and, of
course, he will take advantage of this
power to fix the price at cost {; or some
thing under it. He cannot fix the
price at much less than cost without
stopping production and so limiting
the supply as to put it into
the sellers power to make the price
But, supposing the Record to I've cor
rect in saving that tax may be diffusec
by the seller, though he does not collect
any part of it from the buyer, what be
comes of its objection to taxing petro
leum that the burthen of the tax il
borne by the producer !? If the produces
can get rid of all but his fair share o
the tax by diffusing it upon the commu
nifty generally SO that each man gets hi
fair share, is there any particular Objec
ton to the tax ? Will it not be born
equally And is not equal taxation
what we want
The Record objects to taxing petro
leum produced In Pennsylvania becaus
it has to compete with the untaxed pc
trOleum produced in New York. Thi
is variation Of its ground but if ii
fact is correct we consider its declare
tion to be sound. If sufficient petroleum
is produced in New York to supply th
demand for petroleum, then undoub'
edly the Pennsylvania producer wou!
not he able to add the tax he pays
the price Of his product, the expens
of marketing it, otherwise, being SUI
posed to be equal. But we do not ul
derstand that petroleum is at preser
found in New York, or adjacent states
in such quantity as to materially cha
lenge the monopoly which Pennsylvani
producers have in the article. If we al
right, the Pennsylvania producer pract
cally commands the market and
this case the Record declares that |
may add the tax to every barrel he sell
He may do so, just as long as he do
not overstock the market. Just SO loI
he can collect the tax of the state fro
the consumer; and when he produc
more than the market will take
ought to pay the tax himself for h
folly.

The Prisoner, Harrington, Held On u
Charge Of MansIaughter.
Chief of Police Hawkins brought Earring
ton, the mutinOus seaman, to this city, last
evening, and lodged him in the cells at the
City Hall. Last evening he was given
preliminary hearing before the Mayor. Judge
Wales and Attorney General Gray were
present. Two witnesses, sailors on tile sail
ing vessel Ada NJ. Simpson, and the one on
which the affair occurred, were examined
The witnesses names are Felix Newman and
John Wilson. Wilson was steer
ing the vessel and Newman was fixing a
tackle on the deck az the time OF the trouble.
The testimony given was in substance
as follows: Thomas Fischer, the mate, told
harrington To grease the haliyards, Earring
ton retorted that there were boys on board
to do that kind of work. Some words en-
sued when Harrington raised his fist and
struck the mate under the left
ear The mate tripped in the
railing as he was struck and fell over
board. Harrington Immediately cried a
man overheard and WAS the first TO go to
the rescue of the mate Had the vessel not
been moving Fischer might have been
saved. Harrington was committed for hom
icide and will be taken TO New Castle to-
Gay. The two seamen will be held as wit
nesses.
Harrington is rather good looking man
of good physique and his looks and manner
stamp him as an intelligent man. He is
dark -complexoned, dark eyes and about
5 feet 10 inches in height. He seemed un
concerned as the hearing proceeded, smiled
several times at some things which were
said. Last evening he enjoyed piHe in his
cell. The impression is that the prisoner
will not be tried for any greater crime than
manslaughter The prisoner and both wit.
nesses were committed to New Castle jail to
await trial.

such genuine appreciation as Hop Bltters.
introduced to this country but a comparatively
short time since, to meet the great demand fos
pure, safe, and perfect family medicine, they
have rapidly increased in favor, until they are,
without question, the most popular and valua-
bic medicine known. Its worldwide renown is
not due to tine advertising it has received; it is
famous by reason of it's Inherent virtues. 1t
does all that Is claimed for it. 1t discharges
its curative powers without any of the evil
effects Of other bitters or medicine, being per
feetly safe and harmless for the most frail
woman, smallest child and weakest invalid.
