NO CONVICT LABOR.

The assurance of Senator SABIN that
no convict labor Will be employed by
the reorganiZed threSher company will
be read with qualification by every
friend of labor in the state. ~ car
and thresher works will cor nu to
give employment to several LIN red
people. There are wOrkmen and to
spare, wOrkmen who are good citizens
and who have families to support, who
will be only too glad to accept employ
ment under the company.
1t is unfair then that these WOrkmen
Should have the very bread taken out
of their mouths by the employment, in
their places, of convicts. Senator SABIN
and his associates recognize this fact,
and the consequence is that the ex-
piratiOn of the present contracts for
the employment of cOnvicts will see the
end or their competition with free labor
under the reorganiZed company.
The competition of convict labor with
honest labor is never right wherever
there are deserving wOrkmen, out of
work, who seek employment. 1t should
be forbidden by law in every state i'm the
land, and those private employers who,
diSregarding public sentiment, eagerly
make use of it wherever opportunity
presents should feel the weight of pop
ular indignation TO the utmost.

COLOSSAL ADVERTISING

The one thing to which a loyal Cali
fornian holds when everything else slips
away from him is his belief in the SUI
periOrity of his state and its climate
over the entire world. And he believes,
too, in letting the whole world know in
what a favored region he lives.
Whether his anxiety to give informa-
tion is increased by the ownership of
real estate which he may be willing to
dispose of on reasonable terms, has
nothing to do with the fact that he GER
tainly does succeed in blowing the horn
of his state most effectu ally.
p. And as general thing he minds
neither trouble nor expense in doing it.
Evidence of this fact is furnished In the
preparations being made by a San Fran
cisco house to publish 100000 copies of
a magazine supplement to be distributed
all over the world. The supplement-
VIII be equal to any one of the leading
magazines in size and artistic merit.
and will be entitled california; 1t
will be a pretty comprehensive sum-
mary of the attractions of the state of
bOomS and bOnanZas, and will of course
be read with a great deal of interest.
Though the enterprise will cost for
tune, Sl50,000, there is no doubt but
that it will result in immigration to the
state that will increase its material
wealth many times that amount. Rut
just where the enterprising newspaper
publisher is to get his profit, it is diff
cult to see. Perhaps with the broad
spirit of California generosity he will
find his reward in the consciousness of
having done a good work, or perchance
he will ''stand in" with the real estate
men who expect to reap golden har-
vest when the tide flows in.
However, it may be the example of
the CalifOrnians in being ready at any
and all times to extoll the merits of
their state to outSiders-particularIy to
those who have money to invests one
which might well be followed in other
places-in Minnesota. for instance.

SHERMAN,S PJETY.

What saint JOHN SHERMAN has got
to be. He holds up his hands in holy
horror because the president failed to
make mention of the Divine Ruler in
his last annual message. There was
time when the sanity JOHN didn't take
so much stock in divine matters. When
we recall the time that he went down to
New Orleans to negotiate with ELIJAH
PINKsToN and the Louisiana returning
board, and compare his conduct then
with his later professions we are i'm
pressed with the marvellous power of
converting grace. After all we are
afraid that the Ohio senator's case is
only repetition of the devils expert
ence, who wanted to be saint when he
got sick, but devil of saint was he
when he got well. JOHN SHERMAN is
a tolerably sick man just now.

readers Trouble. :,
No Coal Mined and None to
Ship Give Fears of a Coal >
Famine. ;

PoTTSvILLE, Pa, Jan. 5.-The miners
strike is more complete than ever.
Hitherto the number of idle and work
ing collieries has been willingly stated
at the Office of the coal and iron COM
pany. To-day the officials there say
that they had been instructed not to
give out these figures. The miners say
that the reason is that there are no
Reading collierieS working at all. The
best information, however, is that the
Suffolk cOllieries, near Mahanoy
City, and the Brookside, at Tower
city, are still working, but with crippled
forces. The Henry Clay, Reading col
liery near ShamOkin, was compelled to
ming the machinery of the breaker was
broken. Two Reading cOllieries, the
Richardson at Glen Carbon and the
North Franklin near Trevorton, were
working yesterday, but are closed to-day
on account of the strike. One of the
individual collierieS, the William
Penn, near Shenandoah, which
has been working under an
agreement to pay on the advanced basis
pending settlement, shut down to-day.
The reason is that the miners refused to
cut coal to be loaded on cars handled by
nOn-uniOn men. This is the first instance
of the kind, and it goes to show clearly
that the strike of the miners is not alone
on account of the question of
wages, but that it is also in
tended to help their striking breth-
rem on the railroad. The fact that
the managers OH the miners strike are
in thorough sympathy with the rail
readers is also shown by the following
kilograms between John II. Davis, chief
manager of the miners strike, and the
editor of Bradstreet: New York, Jan.
5.-Chairman Davis, Chairman Joint
Committee of Miners Organization,
POttsville: Will you kindly write what
is the total number of Reading coal
miners on the strike, also the total of
Reading railway train employees who
have struck? The understanding here
is that the miners promised to give
up the per cent advance on Jan. l. I'M
less miners wages lsewhere had been
advanced. Is this so? Please telegraph
us briefly your position in this matter.
We desire to publish the facts.

A Bad Outlook at Reading.

READING, Pa, Jan. 5.-The coal ship
ment down the Reading railroad for
thetwenty hours ending with noon to-
day were the most meager of the week,
and will barely cover 800 carloads,
nearly all of which came from individual
eollieries. Bernard j. Sharkey, of Port
Richmond, the chairman of the Reading
convention which ordered the railroad
strike, passed through this city to-day.
Heesaid that the situation in the coal re-
giop was such that in twenty-four hours
there would be total suspension; that
it 1was doubtful whether Mr.. COrbin
could bring about settlement now,
even if he wanted to, and that he found
the miners in full sympathy with the
raiIOaders. At the cOmpany's office in
this city it is stated that the leaders of
the strike entirely mistake the temper
Of the miners who are now out; that
many of the latter are middle-aged men,
who went through the long outs of 1864
and 1874, and that they are decidedly
opposed to standing out in the midst of
the winter. AT the Office of the COM
pany in this city everything is reported
quiet north and south of Reading.

A STAYING ISSUE.

When President CLEVELAND sent
that remarkable message to congress
everybody felt that a great issue had
been forced upon the country and that
the political parties would be compelled
to face it. The Republican leaders at
once realized that they were thrown
upon the defensive and that they would

the next presidential canvass. They
knew well enough that public thought
could not be diverted from the great
subject treated of in the message and
the only thing for them was to brace
ND, go into the fight and make the best
OF bad cause. The two greatest leaders
of the Republican party, BLAINE and
SHERMAN, have unfurled the party ban
ner and selected the ground upon which
the coming battle is to be fought. It is
to their credit that they have met the
issue presented by the president in a
manly sort of way. There has been
40 attempt on the part of either of them
to dodge the issue. Both of them plant
the party banner sQuarely on protection
ground and call upon their followers to
rally in support of the PENNSYLVANIA
idea. They have said, and said well, all
that could be said in support of their
cause. But for all that, there is lack
of enthusiasm in the Republican
camp. There are evidences of a
feeling of despair on every hand.
Even while Mr.. SHERMAN is thun-
dering away with his big speech in
the senate chamber, in which he seeks
to lay down his party's platform for the
coming canvass, Senator ALLISON turns

AT Least the President Has EiX-
hibited None for Him to Date.
A Texas member of congress tells,
with some relish, how L. Q. G. Lamar
became cabinet officer. The Missis-
Sippi congressional delegation presented
the name of fernando ID. Money to the
president-elect in January, 1885, for the
Office OF postmaster general. Money is
good fellow, though now somewhat
disappointed. He served for six years
in congress, and paid good deal of at
tentiOn to pOStOffice matters, and felt
himself in every way qualified to take
charge of the pOstoffice department in
the Cleveland administration. Lamar
went to Albany to urge Moneys ap-
pOintment on Cleveland. That was the
first time Cleveland ever saw the long
haired statesman from Mississippi, and
he took a great liking to him.
Both Cleveland and Lamar are strong.
straightforward, blunt men, who habit
ually express what they mean without
any attempt at evasion. Lamar urged
the appointment of his friend Money as
postmaster general with all the force
and elOquence he was capable of. He
stayed three days with the president
elect, and when he left Albany, after
honestly and manufully urging Mr..
Moneys appointment, the last answer
he received from Cleveland, as he stood
upon the steps of the governors man.
sion at Albany and said gOod-by. was
the famous quotation from the cOurtship
of Miles Standish: ''Why, don't you
speak for yourself, JOhn?''
Not long afterwards he was advised
that he, himself. without solicitation or
suggestion from any one, had been
chosen for place in the cabinet. He at
first declined to accept the place, but
Mr.. Money heard of the matter and
earnestly urged Mr.. Lamar not to refuse
because of any personal and friendly
feeling toward him. Of course, Mr..
Money felt certain of getting something
handsome, if not a cabinet office, from
the new administration, but to his sur
prise nothing has been offered him up
to date.

SCRANTON, Pa, Jan. 5.-Mr. Powderly
is not yet quite out of danger. DR..

that his patient had disobeyed all orders
and had applied himself too closely and
early to the duties of his Office, and had
completely exhausted himself at his
desk. The doctor has given emphatic
instructions that no one be permitted to
intrude upon Mr.. Powderly at present,
and has decided that the invalid must
take a trip to the South, where he will
be afforded an opportunity to re-

masterw0rkman was very sick

brief audience to the committee
appointed by the Philadelphia &c Read

mere interchange of opinion and a
