not being able to be present as expected,
but promising his good will and hearty
support.

pro TEN.

Court Proceedings.

day morning, and owing to the fact that
Judge Dreher had announced that he
would at ten o'clock on Monday morn

OF the borough of Mauch Chunk, the
large auditorium was literally packed.

Shortly after ten o'clock Stroh ac-
companied by his father, Abraham
Stroh, of Freeland, Luzerne county.
entered the court room and took a seat
inside the railing. During the time
that intervened prior TO the-entrance of
the Judges, Stroh was the cynosure of
all eyes, but he sat through il all self
composed, though thoughtful, half
sad look was in his eyes. Upon the en-
trance of the Judges, District Attorney
Mulhearn moved for The sentence of the
court. whereupOn Mr. Freyman arose
and in strong plea asked the court for
mercy, on account of Stroh's youth, his
connection with the bar, and his posi-
tion as Justice Of the Peace.
TO the Judges query: Charles Orion
Stroh have you ANYTHING to say? Stroh
answered. Yes, sir, if your honor
please. The refusal of new trial has
been a bitter disappointment to me; If

as he presenieda a resume of the evidence
which had convicted him. In speaking
of the alleged conspiracy to brand him
as criminal, Stroh said, ''In the name
of innocence, in the name of Justice, |
would to God, that Mr.. Rex had gone
to anybody else, ANYBODY in the world
but Mr.. Bertolette. Stroh ended his
remarks with an earnest and pathetic
appeal for mercy on account of his
family relations, and especially so for
the sake of his mother who is seriously
i'll.
At this period Mr.. Bertolette arose
and gaining the permission of the court
stated that he was in no way prciudiced
against Stroh, and had not bounded
him as the defendant had stated. Att
the conclusion of his remarks the
Judges retired for consultation. Upon
their return Judge Dreher said: "There
is nothing further for us to do but to
pass sentence and we do it with pain.

INDIAN REPORTS:
White Mountain 4 paehes.

Special advices from Winslow say: Reports have reached Wins. low from some of the Aztec Cattle company men, who have camp on the north line of the Apache reservation, about forty five miles southwest of Holbrock, that the Indians are getting restless and $ band have left their reservation; coming north. These Indians entered the Aztec company's camp. and stole some provisions and ammunition. They were seen by the cowboys who followed them some distance and had a scrim- mage with them and recovered the property. It is feared by the peo- pie of Apache county that If these Indians come north they may lnclte the Navajoes to join thent in a campaign of rapine and murder. Major Warren, general manager of the Aztec company, IS very uneasy and left for the scene of trouble this morning.-Star.

but too many emigrants remain in the large cities, where finally wo- men, in order to earn their daily bread, have to make mans shirt of fair average quality fer twelve and half cents.
 When by means of labor saving machinery, of combinations for importing cheap labor, countless acres taken by companies for graz Ing of cattle, and possibly g par tlaI failure of crops for a year or two, the tension or strain on our commercial and social system reaches it's height, whereby eTery year numbers of the unskilled la borers become poverty stricken, if wisdom and justice do not devise some remedy, undoubtedly the fears of the pessimist might be re- volution, under the rallying cry: "Give Us bread"
 To avert this awful catastrophe; I suggest that Government may have, by the expressed will of the people, if that power is not already possessed, the constitutional right to furnish employment for surplus labor. As the General Government owns and regulates, for the good of the whole, post toffices and GUS tom houses, why not transporta- ton and commercial facilities by railroads, much needed turnpikes, etc. !? If as suggested in a previous communication. post-office savings banks made the General Govern ment the depositary of the labor ing mans surplus savings, it seems reasonable that it also provide em ployment for all surplus labor.
 Our lighthouses, our coast-har- bors, our navigable rivers, our roads of communication, our navy and army, all require additions, i'm provements, works of infinite gen eral value. Our commerce needs to know exactly the rates at'which surplus productions, goods, etc., can be transported; and if Govern ment, as in many European coun- tries, owned and controlled the rail roads, the rates might be uniform, Iapd the profits would go to meet general expenses, and pay off na. tional indebtedness.
 If the above suggestion does not aid in solving the problem, perhaps some of the correspondents of The Current may offer a better or more acceptable solution.-Richard Ow- en in The Current for May:

Surplus LabOr-What Shall We
 Do With Et?

This is difficult question to
 answer; but a few suggestive hints
 may aid somewhat in the solution of the great problem, even if they
 contain nothing specially new.
 Some optimists may say we have done very we'll for several thous
 and years and no doubt will con tinue to do so. Pessimists, on the other hand, may be so much dis couraged as to say, the Revolution is upon us, the great successary conflict between labor and capital, and nothing can avert 1t. More mature reflection should modify both these assertions. The Nine teenth Century has witnessed more labor saving machinery invented and applied. more discoveries pre- sented, to practically shorten dls- tances and give us more time, than was the case during all the pre- vious centuries of the earth's hls- tory. On the other hand, proba ply even the French Revolution might have been prevented had wise, just and unselfsh counsels, prevailed, and the gigantic expen ditures of Louis XIV. been divert ed into channels of industry, and to the employment of the starving and suffering, by giving them work on useful public undertakings.
 Hence it is the part of wise men, and should be our immediate duty, to see if something is not radically wrong in our system, and, if 80, to remedy it.
 Many years since, my father, Robert Owen, pointed out the fact that labor-saving machinery, which ought to be a blessing to all, was, under our defective social system, adding to the poverty and suffering of the laboring classes Take for instance the valuable i'm provements made by Sir R. Ark wright toward the latter part of the Eighteenth Century. At first they were productive of great ben eft to the laboring classes, until machinery was so multiplied that at the lowest calculation one man or woman with q machine could do the work formerly requiring ten men or women, thus throwing nine men or women out of employ ment. For a time, this surplus labor could be directed into other but after time overpro- duction compelled many a sturdy Briton to break stones on the turn pike for p cents per day, walking several miles daily, to and from his work, and supporting on his inadequate pay, wife and | from three to five children. Il have myself witnessed such cases, as they occurred before 1 left ! Great Britain in 1927.
 In this country the case is differ | ent IS long as we have surplus lsnds. and tbs laborer can by any means get transportation ~eat;

 The prososal to place import duties on raw copper, which is strongly championed by the gen eral manager of the Mansfelder Gewerkschaft, is said to find con- siderable sympathy at the hands of the Prussian government.
 The exports of copper from New York during the past week were as follows: 1,274 300 pounds of ore; 1,032, ,000pounds matte, and 232, ,l30 pounds of copper.
 The grand total of gold, silver, lead and copper produced by Colo rado in 1885 reached the large aggregate of S2A 432,69S.
 In connection with gold and silver mining ln Colorado in 1885 tho output of lead amounted to Ss4,124, 4,OO0, of copper to S2O5,936,
 On the 1st inst, the stocks of zinc at Upper Silesian zinc works were 20S,000 centners less than a year ago.
 A very important discovery of cinnabar mines has been recently made in the mining region of the Don, Russia. The ore is stated to contain from 69 to 80 per cent of pure mercury.
 The maximum product of zinc ore in the State of New Jersey was 56.0S5 tons in 1883; it declined to 40,094 tons in 1881; and in 1885 it was only 38, ,526 tons.
 A gold fever is raging in the Argentine Republic in consequence of the reports of the discoveries of the precious metal in Patagonla:
 Diamond mining in New South Wales is likely to become of much importance Upward of 12,000 diamonds are reported to have been found up to the present time.
 A 9,0OO-pound mass of tin ore was recently exhibited at smelt- ing works in New York It was taken out of a 29-foot vein in tne we'll known Etta tin mine ;,a the Black Hills.
