DIDN'T KNOW 1T WAS LOADED.

The foolish practice of playing with
firearms of any kind is illustrated
every day by the dispatches in the
newspapers, announcing deaths from
their careless use. 1t Ii an old, old
story that seems TO make no impress
ion, and il had grown TO such proper
ton that in 1876 the Legislature of this
state passed law providing that the
pointing or discharging of gun, pis-
tol or other firearms at another, either
playfully or wantonl y, shall be a mis-
demeanor punishable with a fine of one
thousand dollars, and Imprisonment
not exceeding one year.
A case of this kind occurred in this
county last week, which resulted in the
death of woman at the hands of her
husband. He pointed a pistol at her
playfully, he ''didnt know it was load
ed and she was buried in four days.
While the punishment which con
science infiicts upon those who thus
carelessly take human life, is undoubt-
edly terrible, there seems to be no way
10 pat stop to the playful handling
of dangerous weapons, but by a strict
enforcement of the law on the subject.
The security of society requires that
those who playfuly point pistols at
others shall undergo the penalty of the
law, not only to punish them fOr their
carelessness, but to deter Others from
amusing themselves by play lully shoot
ing fellow being.

The striking coal miners in the Clear
field regions have presented their griev-
ances to Governor Pattison in long
petition, in which they also ask for in-
tervention in the interest of solution
of the present difficulty. John +. Far
rell and f. Lehman, of Houtzdale, pre-
seuted the petition to the Governor,
who is alleged to have indicated bis
purpose TO remedy some of the evils
enumerated. The petition sets forth
that the strike for ten cents in addition
to the fifty cents q ton now received is
justified from the fact that the average
wages of the miners have been only
about $50 q month, out of which SO
had to be expended for rent, 80 for
oil, and fifty cents for tool sharpening
and SIG for coal for family use, leav-
ing but $1,000 to feed and clothe the
family. The miners say they bad pro-
posed to settle the wages dispute by
arbitration, but the operators had re-
fused their overtures that they are
compelled to have the coal mined by
them weighed on scales which are out
of balance from three hundred to seven
hundred pounds in the interest of the
operators that if the miners elect a
check weighmaster, in accordance with
the law, he is not permitted to touch
the scales but simply to stand by and
see the cars weighed by the company
weighmaster as they are run rapidly
across the scales that at nearly all the
mines the workinen are required to
deal at the company stores under pain
of being dismissed from employment,
and that at these stores they are com
PEELED to pay from twenty-five to thirty
five per cent more for the necessaries
of life than they could purchase the
same for elsewhere that the mine boss
es and superintendent compel the
miners to deal at these stores, and that
the operators receive percentage for
sending their men there to be robbed.
So far as the execution Of the laws
in favor of miners and mine laborers
are concerned it is claimed they are a
dead letter The Mine Inspector, John
| M. Watt, is held to be in sympathy
with the operators, and the Brrwiud,
White Coal Company is sharply criti'
cised for monopolizing the greater mum.
ber of the coal operations in the Clear.
field regions. It is also charged with
being large shareholder in the Penn.
sylvania Railroad Company and with
controlling to large extent its action
in discriminating in favor of the large
shippers.
The petition closes with the state
ment that the ''miDers are opposed tc
any monopoly or syndicate having con
troll of this or any other coal region
believing it to be detrimental to the
best interest of the community aud the
State at large

packed to their utmost capacity, and
caused it to turn a sommersault over

1t is given out that the President is
preparing a special message to con-
gress urging that some action be taken
at once to compel the Pacific railroads
to meet their obligations to the United
Sta, es. 1t appears from the statements
officially made TO the President at his
request that these corporations are in
deot TO he government in the sum of
over one hundred million dollars. The
President has been advised by Secre-
tary Lamar that while the Thurman
act is good as far as it goes, it is after
all scarcely any protection in the United
States. The secretary of the interior
has made demands upon the officers of
of the Union Pacific for frank state
ment of their acknowledged indebted
ness. Instead of an niger uous reply
its officers seem to have taken pains to
conceal its true financial condition
For this reason the President will ad-
wise congress to take heroic treatment,
and to the end that showing can be
had he will urge legislation having for
an object the placing of the delinquent
corporations in the hands of receivers,
who will be charged with an investi,
cation which will declare the true
financial status of the railroads in
question. Gazette & Bulletin.

Limiting the New Tax Law.

Judge Thayer, of Philadelphia, on
Saturday last made decision material
ly limiting the operation of the rev
tax law of June 80, 1885, in its effect
upon corporations. Corporations are
already taxed for their capital stock
under the fourth section of the act of
1879, to which the act of 1885 is a
supplement. Notwithstanding this fact
the State ought to collect the tax levi
ed by the act of 1885 upon the bonds,
mortgages, debts due by solven, debt
ors, public loans, &c, in which their
capital was invested.
The Delaware Mutual and other in.
surance companies of Philadelphia Sc
cured preliminary injunctions restrain
ing such proceeding, and in continu.
ing these injunctions Judge Thayer
says: "If these corporations are with
in the act of 1885 they will be doubly
taxed Tor the same property. Double
taxation, although within the constitu-
tional power of the Legislature, will
never be presumed TO have been its in,
tention, unless the language of the
statute is clear and unequivooal. The
question, therefore, is whether the
Legislature intended, by the act Of
1885, to apply to corporations sys
tenn of double taxation, whether they
intended by that act that their capita
should be taxed under the act of 1879
and chat the several descriptions o
property composing it should be agair
taxed under the act of 1885 under /;
different name"
The Judge refers to the fact that il
constructing the taxation act of 1881
of which the act of 1885 is substan
tial re-enactment, Common Pleas Cour
No. 2 decided against this claim fo
double taxation. That judgment h
regards as correct. "Any other con
olusion," he says, "would make tn,

iect inconpruous and incompreheusble
