Labor Takes q Hand.

The coal miners have taken hand
in politics in the way of trying to as
certain how all the candidates for
State offices and for the Legislature
stand in regard to labor legislation. TO
this end circulars have been prepared
and are now being sent out from the Of
fee of John Costello, President OF the
Miners Union, on Fifth avenue, Iltts-
burg. The questions are rs follows:
"Wlll you be for or against cottage
hospitals ?"
"Are you in favor Of State Mine
School for bitumnous miners 7"
"How do you stand in regard to the
actions of the coal and iron police 20
"Are you in favor of two weeks
pay ?"
"Wlll you use your endeavors to Sc
cure an appropriation for the Labor
Bureau ?''
Categorical replies to all the ques
tions are asked. The circular states
that any objection from candidate tG
any of the questions is to be considered
direct manifestation of hostility to
the cause of labor.

Governor Pattison proposes to
tackle the Anthracite Coal combina-
tion, an organization composed of the
principal railroad and coal companies,
which of late had several meetings
and then and there made restrictions
to the production of coal and advanc-
ed the price Of that useful article. The
Governor thinks that it is about time
that this arrogant "do-as-you.please'
business Of the coal monopolies be
stopped and that the market and indi-
vidual firesides should be protected
from further advances and impositions.
He has directed Attorney General
Cassidy to in vestigate whether such
action of the coal pool is not contrary
to the state laws. Governor Patti
son is known to be man of pure mo.
tives and in this case his aim is to
right great public wrong and the
people will naturally take sides with
him. The proceedings when once in
stituted will be of vast Importance and
interest.

The Return Of Prosperity.

The Democratic State platform of
Pennsylvania says "the administration
of President Cleveland has given con-
fidence to the business interests uf the
country" The following dispatch
from New Y ork, printed in the Com
mercidl Gazette of Pittshurg. a Radical
Republican newspaper, confirms this
declaration.
New York, Sept. 27.-The loga
period of depression in bus;nrss s9emo
now to be giving way ia one of pyp>|
ity. Merchants and general IT, ,osn'an t~,
agree that the prospects Of > g. .Iesmen s1i
are very bright. ThssS " , lie tan,l tall trade e
steady, health growth. u no Ererg RHo '0ut ont
SSe? t%.Y5I's'"' of better times. IL Is the
Snaslt Sn.ssts" opinion in commercial and
~ tt'"'' ulal circles that not only is the
,iesent condition of business better
than it has been for a number of years
| past, but that the future is of greater
promise than for long time.
The hustle and activity in the dry
goods district is apparent To all who
visit that part Of the city. That trade
| is generally the first To feel the good
! times. Big johhng and commission
houses are lighted up at night. and The
sidewalks are numbered with bales and
boxes. Far into the night men pack
goods for shipment. The streets in the
dry goods district are lined at night
with trucks piled high with merchan-
disc and covered with tarpauiins, ready
to be started at dayOreaK for the steam
er wharves and railroad shipping of
fees.
Confidence has been restored among
investors, and new enterprises are be-
ing promoted in Wall street. The bank
ing institutions are encouraged and
holders of railroad securities are de-
lighted by the increased earnings or the
lines from freight, which clearly shows
that goods are being transported every
where in large quantities. Iron has
advanced in price in the face of the
largest production ever known. This
prosperity is no sudden thing it has
beeII coming on gradually, and the
country is now in condition to make
the most of it. Prices are good and
there is activity everywhere, and what
more can we ask Confidence as fast
returning, and while people are inclined
to be cautious and somewhat conServa-
tive, there is enough of confidence to
give hopes of brighter prospects.
Reports from the wood trade indicate
most encouraging outlook for the
seasons business.

PROHIBITION advocates seem to be-
come more numerous day by day and
the party devoted to this cause has
ceased to be an Insignificant handful
of people. They opened the canvass
in earnest on Saturday evening, when
Hon. Charles S. Wolfe addressed an
immense crowd at the Academy of
Music in Philadelphia. When read
ing the reports of this gathering tap
pears that the prohibitionists expect
to push their campaign with consider
able aggressiveness and vim. Several
of the other candidates on the prohi-
bition ticket delivered addresses and
oil were received with great enthlsi-
asm. The meeting was quiet, brass
bands, clubs and torches being absent,
but it is said to have been very sober
and earnest assembly.

THE nomination of J. G. Meyer for
District Attorney on the democratic
ticket gives such general satisfaction
that it is safe to say he will receive
the vote of every democrat as we'll as
of many republicans. Mr.. Meyer is a
young lawyer of unquestionable char,
acter and ability and has clean polit-
ical record. Being a native of staid
old Aaronsburg he is known to most
of our readers from boyhood up and
as far as we know tbis end of the
county is willing to give him their
full support at the ballots. Let the
rest of the county do likewise and vote
for Meyer.

We do not care what Il mans politics
may be, if he is candidate and is en-
gagged in a business in which the labor
er is despoiled Of his honest earnin@,w we
believe that it should be made known.
About this "pluck me-" store traffic
there is not a mitigating and excusa-
BILE feature. 1t is a scheme by which
men are Systematically or indirectly
forced to assign or leave their earnings
to pay for goods purchased, which in
many cases are inferior in quality and
often sold at eXtravagant prices. The
evils Of which workingmen complain SO
much must be fonght at the ballot-box,
and party should be forgotten where
principal is at stake. If we can pursue
such course we will win the respect
and attention OF the parties which have
promised many reforms, but always
forgot to keep their pledges when plac'
ed i'm power.

reached the iron bridge he discovered
that he had lost the lever of his wagon
brake, SO he tied his horses to an

look for it. During his absence an
army of hornets attacked the team in
flank and rear and stung them nearly
to death. The poor beasts, unable TO
break loose, laid down and rolled in
agony. Bennett, seeing the awful
plight of the tortured auimals, mutlled
his face and cut them loose. The
horses were stung SO badly they could
scarcely stand.
