about to be erected. This will be
valuable addition to the buildings

been caused by the strike, not alone
among fife former employees, but
also among the people of Reading, a
city which is almost entirely dependent
upon the railroad and its allied
industries. The business men of
Reading have. in view of the
gravity of the situation, form
ulated an appeal TO CoRBIN that arbi
tration be restored to before more des-
perate straits are reached, and in 1t, as
important observers, bear testimony TO
the Reading workingmen for their sober
industrious habits and TO their previous
devotion to the company's interests.
There is no reason i'll the world, except
his Stitf-necked obStinacy, why CoRBlN
should not agree to arbitration. Either
the case OF his company is so weak that
he does not dare submit it to an impair
tial tribunal or he is resolved upon a
course of systematic aggression.
Either suppoSition reflects no credit
upon the CoRBIN management.
1t is believed that fair-minded board
of arbitratorS could bring the trouble to
an end in short order. In refusing.
then, to accede to it, President CoRBIN
III continuing state of affairs bound to
cause further suffering to thousands,
assumes fearful responsibility, which
few men of human instincts would be
willing to undertake.

A Horrible Fate.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Jan. IA Butler,
Pa. special says: About o'clock this
morning John Mathio, a Frenehman,
and Belgian named AliX, fireman at
the Standard Plate Glass works in this
place, were almost instantly killed
while placing a sheet of glass in posi-
ton on the grinding table. They were
standing ON the grinding table with
John Kenpick. an Irishman, when the
grinders were set in motion. Kennick
saw the danger and leaped to the center
OF the table, and minute later was
thrown off into pit by the velocity of
the machine and escaped with but few
injuries. Mathio and klix were not so
fortunate, and before they were aware
of their danger they were ground to
death. AliX's legs were ground off
close to his body. Both men were mar
ried and had been in this country but a
short time

Jury SERVICE.

Our local courts are complaining of
the trouble of securing the services OF
business men as jurors. The business
men are drawn right along as jurors,
but so great is their repugnance to per-
forming this kind of service that they
trump up all sorts of excuses to be re-
lieved. and in many instances prefer to
pay the fines imposed for nOn-perform
ance of this important public duty. This
ought not TO be so, and yet we can see
many reasons why this repugnanee eX-
lists. Jury service is duty that
every man ought to perform willingly.
As long as trial by jury is the founda-
ton of personal liberty and sacred
protection TO private rights and prop
erty, every business man should
deem it a privilege as we'll as
a patriotic duty to perform this public
service. And we have but little ques-
ton that they do. In the case of our
local administration of justice the
trouble lies in our jury laws and in the
inconvenience connected with the per-
Torrance of jury duty rather than in
the indiSposition of our people to per-
form jury service. There are a great
many cases tried by a jury that
are not worth a hearing. We
have in mind pitiful case in the mu-
nicipal court not many weeks ago. The
amount involved was 81. The members
of the jury who tried the case were bust
ness men of the city representing an
aggregate of perhaps 100000 or
S4,000,000 in wealth. These gentlemen
were called away from their business
affairs for whole day to settle little
dispute between two men about the
paltry sum of 81. Then another trouble
Is. there is no provision made in the
court rooms for the comfort of Jurors.
1t is like putting man in the stocks to
require him to sit all day in one of those
STRAIGHTFORWARD chairs. If our citizens
are required to perform jury services,
and they ought to be required, they
should be required to sit only in eases
deserving attention and then they ought
to be made comfortable while in the
count ROOM

BLAINE AND MERRIAM.

1t is asserted by those who are in
position to know that the Republican
club movement in this state is move
ment in the interest of BLAINE and MER-
RAM. This is not encouraging news
for Gov. McGILL and Mr.. SHERNlAN's
Minnesota friends, unless they find en-
enlargement in the fact that the initial
step in this direction was complete
tizzle. The meeting at Minneapolis the
other day was about as fiat failure as
could well be imagined, and the wonder
is how, with so skillful hand at the
helm as Mr.. FLETCHER'S, the
failure should have been so pro-
nounced. The difficulty in infusing
any sort of enthusiasm into a Republi-
can organization in this state at this
time probably lay in the lame effort to
couple Mr.. BLAINE's effort with tariff
reform and tax reduction. If Mr..
BLAINE is anything he is the embodi-
ment of the protection idea, and when
a lot of politicians get together and at
tempt to shout for BLAINE and tariff
reform at the same time the whole thing
has such ridiculous aspect the leaders
at once recognize that they are making
of themselves laughing stock for the
public. BLAME and tariff reform are like
oil and water. They won't mix. The
Minneapolis Tribune has sense enough
to see this and is manly enough to avow
that it is for BLAINE Oh the old time
Republican protection platform. The
Pioneer Press, with its accustomed
facility for straddling every important
issue, endeavors to delude its readers
into the absurd belief that the Republic
can party is and always has been the
low tariff party. The Tribune is not in
accord with popular sentiment in Min
nesota respecting the tariff, but we
must give it credit for being an honest
exponent of Republican principles. 1t
is a Republican newspaper because it
knows. as everybody else knows, that a
return of the Republican party to power
would mean the continuance of pro-
tective tariff policy and it favors Mr..
BLAINE'S denomination because it
knows that he is emphatically the most
eminent representative of the protec-
ton idea in this country.

Pierre Dak.) Signal
AS an evidence of the progress of tariff
reform sentiment, even among our
friends, the enemy, the course of Mr..
Knute Nelson, the Republican (Scandi-
navian member from Minneapolis, is
very suggestive: he has been in congress
three terms, and is inyincible before the
people. His district is overwhelmingly
Republican, yet the gentleman proposes
to voluntarily retire at the close of his
present term because he is disguised
with the policy of his party on the tariff
issue. This is certainly of no little sig
nificance-a political study that tends to
show the strength of the position as
sumed by President Cleveland in his
great message, especially in the West.

A CALL FOR AID
Formally Issued OH Behalf OF the
Reading Strikers.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. 19.-An ap-
peal for moral and financial aid for the
10000 miners and railroad men now on
strike against the Philadelphia & Read
ing Railroad company has been adj
dressed to all bodies of organized labor
in this country. 1t has been issued by
the executive committee of the strikers
and is exhaustive in its treatment of the
causes and primary progress of the
strike. The chairman of the committee,
John l.. Lee, was in this city to-day, land
he made arrangements to have a large
number of copies printed and mailed to
every assembly of organized labor in
the United States and Canada. The ap-
peal is dated at Pottsville, Pa, Jan. 10,
1888, and after reciting the grievances,
the attempts made to effect settlement
of the strike, the insults heaped upon
the leaders by Mr.. Swelgard, and the
universally OF the order given for the
men to strike, closes as follows: "We
now appeal TO every man in this land
who loves liberty and fair play to render
all the assistance possible, morally and
financially, to enable us to prevent this
monopoly from crushing out the spirit
OF organization against the down trod-
den miners and railroaders, of the Phila-
delphla u Reading system. Freemen,
are you going to permit this injustice to
be perpetrated upon laW-abiding
people who are refused the right to
meet together as an organization? Are
You going to remain silent and inactive
while 10000 men are suffering innumer-
able indignitieS brought about by the
heartless and soulless corporations?
Bear in mind, fellow wOrkmen, that
this is a life and death struggle for
the recognition of organized labor,
and the men in this anthracite valley
are determined to uphold the dignity of
labor and await with deep anxiety the
liberal response that should come from
every sympathetic member of a COM
mon brotherhood. We ask for nothing
but what we are entitled to under the
constitution and laws of this common
wealth. This was denied because we
earn our thread by the sweat of our
brows. Workingmen, think of this and
ask yourselves: Is it not your duty to
enlist yourselves i'll the struggle with
the bread-winnerS who are struggling
for a recognition of their inalienable
rights? Arouse and call public meet
lngs IN your towns and cities, pass reso-
lutlonS to assist the men who have been
forced into idleness because they had
the moral courage to assert that labor
had rights that capital should respect.
ALI remittances should be forwarded at
once to the Philadelphia d Reading en-
ployeS executive board.
JOHN l.. LEE, Chairman.
