SUPPOSE a newspaper man, every
time he hears of man who has Sc
verely criticised him or his paper in
public, should retaliate by hold
ing up to the public gaze the faults
and shortcomings of said criticizer.
What would be the result? Why, the
criticizer would think that he had
been terribly outraged, and would
thirst for the editors gore. Then
the poor scribe would get shot or
shoot somebody. The patient beast
of burden, the country journalist,
never does this, except under great
provocation. 1t isn't because he is
afraid to but because he is not mean
enough. He allows men to go around
trying to destroy his business. He
hears the paper called worthless
sheet because the editor in doing his
duty has stepped OH somebody's toe
He is threatened with death because
he commented on the lawless act Of
some ruffian, yet he goes on fighting
the battles of the town, helping along
public institutions and doing good to
those who prosecute him. Where,
oh, where does the poor editor re-
ceive his reward? Certainly not on
this side of.the dark river.

DEAD, For DUcAT, DEAD.-Even
nature is for the Democracy in this
campaign, and when she is for us
who can be against us. we have
heard of pole which refused to sup
port Lame and Blogan flag, and
now comes something more interest
ing and nearer home. A few days
ago a prominent and eloquent repub-
lican of this place made speech I'M
der fine spreading maple to the
good people of Easton. The next
day came, and 10! change. The
leaves of that tree had commenced
to wither and droop and to-day it is
as dead as George Washington, and
even the fowls of the air will not
perch upon its branches. 1t seems
that the speech was as fatal to the
tree as to the party for which the
orator was speaking. We have the
above from republican who was
present and have no reason for deny
ing it. The same speaker was out
in Preston county last Saturday do
ing some more work in the timber
deadening business. "The g. o. p"
Tin the words of Dean Swift twill
be like that tree and die first at the
top" Mr.. Blaine, please take note.

PRoF. WHITE INTERvIEwED-THE
KANAwHA Coal FIELDs.-Prof. l. G.
White, of the University, at present
engaged on the U. S. Geological Sur
vey of West Virginia, was interview
ed in Pittsburgh few evenings ago
by Times reporter. He said that
while the coal fields of the Kanawha
Valley are exceedingly rich and ex-
tensive they are, however, not likely
to prove to be a dangerous competi-
tor to the Pennsylvania coal fields.
The great advantages of the Kanawha
region over Pittsburgh, he said, are
its free lockage and its nearness to
the southern markets. The Pitts
burgh coal is more easily and cheap
ly worked and brings a cent more
per bushel in the southern markets
than the West Virginia coal does.
Prof White is at the head of the
survey of the State and there are
very few more eminent field biologists
in all the country than he is. He
will return to his duties at the Uni
versity at the beginning of the winter
term. Those who are fortunate
enough to be under his instruction
may well congratulate themselves
Such opportunities are not found
everywhere and every day.

The NUTT FAMILY IN TROUBLE
AGAIN SORROWS NEVER COME SINGLY.
The Mutt family is plunged in deep
grief and mourning again. Annie,
the second oldest daughter, was bur.
led last week and the whole family
have been sick. Suspicious of poi
soning were entertained at first but
are being abandoned. No autopsy
or post norton was held. Annie
was buried by the side Of her father
and as Mrs. Mutt beheld the double
grave she sank helpless to the ground.
Surely no household was ever more
sorely afflicted than this excellent
family in Uniontown.

A BRACE OF SERIOUS ACCIDENTS
A few days ago while riding with
John Devine and wife near the resi-
dence of ENROL Tenant, in Clay dis
trict, Miss Walker, daughter of
VIM. Walker, was thrown from the
wagon and as she fell one of her legs
was thrust through the wheel and
broken in dreadful manner.
VIM. Flowers, young man resid-
ing in Cass district was dangerously
if not fatally hurt last week while
helping to move cane mill. In going
down steep hill the rubber on the
wagon broke causing the horses to
run and upset the wagon. Young
Flowers was thrown under the cane
mill and chrushed in a horriable
manner. At last accounts his recov-
cry was very doubtful.

Messrs. VIM. G. Wor-
lev and VIM. G. Brown had what
might have proved very serious
runaway accident, Tuesday morning
They were out buggy riding, having
hitched in Mr.. Worley's colt and Mr..
Browns spirited gray. At the forks
of the road, just east of town, the
horses took fright at some calves
jumping up suddenly, and ran into
the bank, upsetting the buggy. Mr..
Brown, who was driving, was first
thrown out, and Mr.. Morley next.
The latter gentleman was caught I'M
der the top of the buggy and dragged
a few feet. Fortunately, the ditch
made a way of escape for him; other
wise, he would have been dragged
until seriously or fatally injured. AS
it was, both escaped with some slight
bruises only. The horses ran for
some distance, and badly demolished
the buggy, which belonged to Mr..
WOrley.--Jcu2naL.

MoLLIS MAeUIREs AGAIN. RAILWAY
MAGNATEs ON THE DEATH LIST
GREAT EXCITEMENT The notorious
brotherhood of Mollie Maguires,
which only few years ago sent a
feeling of terror throughout all Penn
sylvania, has been recognized and
is causing great excitement A num-
Der of men have been killed and
many more have been threatened by
this mysterious body, which holds
regular and secret meetings in isolat-
ed mountain retreats about "the dark
and bloody ground" Of Centralia and
Mt. Carmel. Miners have been sus-
pected and some arrests have been
made. All Schuylkill county is in
a very unsettled condition.
The Dispatch says: In the outly-
ing districts Of the Schuylkill, Lu-
zerne, Northumberland, Carbon, Le-
high, Wyoming and Lackawanna re-
gions, the coal and iron police, as
well as members of detective corps,
have discovered unmistakable evil
dence of the existence Of lodges Of
the notorious brotherhood of Mollie
Magnires. Officers have discovered
that the names of Franklin B. Gowan
of the Philadelphia Coal, Iron and
Railroad companies; Samuel Sloan,
of the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western Railroad, Coal and Iron
companies; Thomas Dickson, execu-
tive head of the Delaware and Hud-
son Coal Company; Charles Parish,
President of the Lehigh and Wilkes
barre Coal and Iron Company; the
superintendent of the Hillside Coal
Company, which is an offspring of
the New York, Lake Erie and Yves
tern Railroad Company, and NUM-
Der Of mine bosses have been placed
upon the death-list of the Mollie Ma
guire association and their annihila-
ton set down for the early future.
Threats have frequently been made
against these men. The situation in
the black diamond country is surely
unsettled and uncertain, and the
least indiscreet movement upon the
part Of anyone may precipitate an
uprising extremely disastrous in its
effects.

keeping step to the music of a march.
We observed another commenda-
BILE feature in all the departments.
When class was called or dimissed
the members did not rnsh pell nell TO
their places and gouge one another
in the fifth rib as we have sometimes
seen elsewhere, but at the first tap
every member would rise up, and at
the second, stalt silently and care
fully to his place.
The special attention given in these
schools to language study is worthy
Of comment and praise. The study
Of technical grammar is not intro
diiced at all below the second year of
the High School. but practical gram
mar is taught even in the lowest
grades. In every room in the building
language lessons are taught to great
err or less extent and all the pupils
learn choice selections every week.
We saw nothing anywhere worthier
of higher praise than this method of
instruction.
One thing surprised us somewhat.
There were very few large boys in
the High School. For example in
class OF s. 6 of them were girls.
Where are the boys? Some of them
working. some Of them loafing. They
ought to be in school. There is no
question about that. The years and
the days have wings. Every parent
and guardian in town ought to en-
courage our Public Schools in every
possible way and toexert every means
to send in the children who are still
ont in the highways and hedges.

Echoes Heard and shadows

Having had an opportunity of see

of some interest to air few of my
observations in your columns during
my stay in the place.
"a IS
'She is observed TO visit the post
office regularly every Tuesday after
noon," said tore-box whittier the
other day. "For two or three long
years. at least, she has done this and
still keeps it Up. As she approaches
the office her eyes begin to brighten
and glow comes ON her cheek, a
glow and a flush. Usually as she
trips away she. is seen to slip neat
looking letter into her pocket and
clasp it there as though it were a
jewel not to be lost. Sometimes,
however, the step that leaves the
office is slower and the countenance
downcast and no letter is seen elaspetl
in the delicate fingers. As regularly
as clock work she comes and goes
on Tuesday evenings and the mail
carrier himself is not more prompt"
We asked the Whittier her name or
street, but the spirit ceased to move
him and all was silent.
IA
a bet was made yesterday evening
and the stakes put up by Messrs.
M and We. on the question
whether or not a very popular young
couple of this place are engaged.
All very good, but how in the land
of Canaan is anyone going to find
out about it? There's the rub. Thank
the stars there are still few things
in heaven and earth which the Wit
tier and the Gossip cannot quite
fathom.
