been in the last six weeks. Banks, saving
institutions. trust companies, Insurance
companies and mercantile houses of every
kind are overhauling ledeers, examining
their securities. looking after mortgages
and loans. The tried services Of a life,
which was once an endorsement of charac-
ter, avails no longer, for, unfortunately,
the worst defaleations and robbeTies that

them brought up from boyhood in the in

1t seems inconceiyable that man like
Bedell, capable of conducting the most in

guished law firms in the city, should have
gone on robbing, year after year, for the

WILLIAM MUTCHLER WAS NOMINATED
for Congress last Friday by the Democratic
conference in session at Stroudsburg. The
district being overwhelmingly Democratic
Mutchler's election is foregone conclu-
sion. Carbon county's choice was Hon.
Allen Craig, Of Mauch Chunk, a gentle
man highly qualified by natural attain
ments to fill the important position Of Con-
gresham from the Eighth District with
ability, credit, and honor both to himself
and the voters of the district However,
as the Democracy of Carbon county would
have voted for Allen Craig so will they
stand by Bill Mutchler, of Northampton.

Two WEEKS FROM NEXT TUESDAY WILL
be election day, and already the intelligent
anG patriotic voter has settled the impor-
tant question as to whom he will or will
not vote for to fill the various offices, ma
tlonal, state and county. Naturally, the
intelligent voter is man who reads and
thinks, and as such he will vote for the
men whom he thinks best qualified to fill
the important public offices. If everybody
votes as the intelligent voter, tne offices in
Carbon county, Pennsylvania and the
United States will be filed with good, in
telligent and capable men for the next few
years. Keep cool, don't be blinded by
party prejudice, but vote right.

THE FRIGHTFUL HOLOCAUST AT MUD
Run on the Lehigh Valley railroad last
Wednesday night was the most revolving,
blood-curdling and heart rending wreck
that ever occurred in this section of Penn
sylyania. Imagine section OF passenger
coaches going down grade at the rate of
twenty miles an hour to suddenly plunge
into similar section of coaches, heavily
laden with human being, putting, snorting,
blowing, scattering death, destruction and
misery all around, and you can perhaps
form some conception of the horrible col
lision that in the twinkling of an eye sent
sixty souls to meet their God and severely
injured as many more.

THE LANsFoRD Record ENTERED ON
its tenth volume with the lastissue. Jimmy
promises that the Record shall continue to
be saucy and independent in its manage
ment. Mr.. Malloy's idea of sauciness may
be all right, but 1t strikes us that 1t borders
onto extreme domination at times, and the
people don't like 1t. They believe in clear
ly expressed and unprejudiced opinions,
and the latter is what Saucy Jimmy Malloy
fails to give his readers.

take some measures toward protecting the

liz continuation Of the '~rrIeaSe
welcome" meetings in honour of Mr..
Cpnninghnmp Graham, Mp, and
Mr.. John Burns, a demonstration was
held last night in Aliens Riding
School, Seymour-pIace, Edgw"re-
road, under the presidency of Mr..
Michael DavitI. The large building
was crowded to the door, most of the
audience standing during the whole
time. On the platform, in addition to
the chairman and the released prison
erS, were Professor Stuart Nj. p,
MIR. William O'Brlen, Mp, Mr..
Wallace, Mp, Mr.. William Morris,
and others. Many ladies were also
present, several Of them wearing
large red saShes.
NJ. Michael Davitt, in opening the
proceedings. congratulated the people
of London on having given as enthn-
siastic II welcome to the "pOlitical cri-
minals" of Trafalgar. square as the
people of ireland, Wales, and Eng
land had given to the %"political cri-
mirals" of Nj. Ballour. (Hooting.)
Like all who had suffered in the
cause of liberty, Mr.. Graham and his
companion-who had just emerged
from Pentonville-were stronger and
more powerful in the cause of the
people than aver before. Coercion
always brought this about, just as his
friend Mr.. William OBrien was a
stronger man in Ireland to-day than
was his gaoIer, the Chief Secretary.

the fact with which we have to deal. No
one, [ presume, would advise that the
whites of the island should govern. The
relations between the two populations are
too pmbittered, and, equality once establish
ed by law, the exclusive privilege of colour
over colour cannot be restored. While
slavery continued, the whites ruled etfec-
lively and economically the blacks are
now free as they. There are two classes in
the community their interests are opposite,
as they are now understood, and one can,
not be trusted with control over the other.
AS little can the present order of things
continue. The West India Islands, once
the pride of our empire, the scene OF our
most brilliant achievements, are passing
away out Of our hands. The remnant of
our own countrymen, weary of an unavail-
ing struggle, are more and more eager to
withdraw from it, becauSe. they can find no
sympathy and no encouragement from
home, and are forbidden to accept help
from America when help is offered them,
while under their eyes their QuOndam
slaves are multiplying, thriving, occupy
ing, growing strong, and every daY,'mOre
conscious of the changed order of things.
One does not grudge the black man his
prosperity, his freedom, his opportunities
Of advancing himself. One would wish to
see him as free and as prosperous as the
FateS and his own eXertiOnS canImake him,
with more and more means Of raising him
self to the white level but, left to himself
and without the white to lead him. he
can never reach it, and if we are not to lose
the islands altogether, or if they are not to
remain with us to diScredit our capacity To
rule them, it is left only to take the same
course which We have taken in the East
Indies with such magnificent success, and
to govern whites and blacks alike on the
Indian system. The circumstances are
precisely analogous. We have a pOpula.

excellent and faithful servants when they
are kindly treated, but their notions of
right and wrong are scarcely even elemen-

St. Joseph's Hospital Fair.

The various committees assigned to
preliminary work for the success of the
coming fair for the Sisters hospital are
busily at work and making all necessary
arrangements for the event. The
committee on music has engaged
Willard Il Thyle'S military band and
orchestra for fair week, and the choirs
OF the several parishes participating in
the fair are rehearsing their pieces.
The choirs will appear at the fair each
evening in the following order: Mon
day, Immaculate Conception; Tuesday,
st. Anthony; Wednesday, Holy Rosary;
Thursday, st. Clotilde: Friday, No
tire Dame; Saturday, st. Stephens.
The boys of the Orphan asylum will
give a musical entertainment on the
evening of Monday, June Is. The Irish
American club and the Hibernian rifles
will be the only competition for the
magnificent Irish flag bought by Father
McGolrick in New York. The Crusaders
OF the several parishes will compete for
gorgeous banner and are actively
working for the prize already.
The young ladies of the Holy Angles
academy will attend the fair for the
purpose of selling tickets to dispose of
the COW donated by Albee Smith. Next
Tuesday all the ladies of the several
parishes, with their pastors, will meet
at $50 O'Clock at the residence of Father
McGolrick. From all indications the
fair to remove the Indebtedness on the
Sisters hospital will prove to be graft
flying success.
