CONGRESSMAN BRUMM, OF PENNsYL-
yania, let's food of sunlight upon the dark
places of the mining troubles. He asserts
unsquivocally, what everybody at all as-
qualnted with coal operations know, that
the strikes every year, or al irregular in
tervals, are part of the policy Of the railway
corporations. These companies own the
mines, and work them under various aliases.
As coal would become too cheap II contin-
ually produced, means are produced to stop
mining At the season Of the year when con-
sumption IL greatest. Profits are thereby
increased hundred fold. The armies Of
miners are, Of course, not under pay, the
plants are not in operation, and the price
sf coal is run up to whatever figure the
Spectators see fit 10 fix it. The strikes
are forced, care being taken to make the
miners seem In the wrong-a not very diff
feult matter where ignorant men may be
hired or coerced into revolt. This condi-
tion Of things has gone on regularly since
1870. Sometimes the starving men actual
ly justify their adroit robbers by breaking
into riot, and then the companies appeal to
the public to uphold their knavery. The
present investigation into the Reading plot
will unquestlonably reveal the systematic
strike" conspiracy Of the companies and
II there is any way by which the principal
agents can be reached, the country will
demand such punishment as shall bring
this annual coal robbery to an end.-N. Y.

THE COUNTRY" SAYS Mr.. BLAINE,
sis now in the enjoyment of an industrial
system which In quarter Of century has
assured larger national growth, more
rapid accumulation and broader distrlbu-
tlon Of wealth than were ever before known
TO history. The American people will now
be openly and formally asked to decide
whether this system shall be recklessly
abandoned and a new trial be made of an
old experiment which has uniformly led to
national embarrassment and widespread
individual distress. OF the result of such
an Issue, fairly presented to the popular
judgment, there is no room for doubt"
Mr.. Blaine evidently forgets that this is a
wonderful country, with wonderful re-
sources and wonderful men, and that the
wonderful results of national achievements
during the past quarter of century are a
natural result Of the wonderful elements
that constitute the makeup of this won-
derful country. Mr.. Blaine easily falls into
an error, common among Republicans, that
the Democratic party desires to destroy the
institutions Of this country by system of
government In direct opposition to the peo.
Pies interests. This prevalent idea is
ridiculously foolish and objectionable in
sueh men as Blaine, ingalls,, Foraker, et.

SPECIAL DISPATCHES PROM WASHING
ton convey information to the effect that
there will be no definite action taken on
the matter Of reducing the surplus during
the present session of Congress, owing to
the fact, no doubt. that mutual concessions
cannot be agreed upon. Should this prove
correct 1t will be unfortunate for the Dem
ocratic party, whose nominee was elected in
1884 on the distinctive policy of Revenue
Reform. The millions OF dollars that have
accumulated and will continue to accumu-
late in the treasury vaults threaten finan-
elal panic which will throw this country
into an internal war, the effects Of which
will last score Of years. 1t is the duty of
the Democratic members of Congress to
avert this impending evil by taking such
action on tariff reduction as will have a
tendency to stop the RAPIDLY accumulating
surplus. Both parties promised this to the
people a little more than three years ago
II is their duty now to act.

JAMES GILLESPIE BLAINE HAS FORM

the Republican National Convention, to as

compels us to say that James G. Blaine

most sagaciOus political leaders of to-day
brilliant, eloquent and learned, he is loyed
BY Republicans and justly feared by Demo
Gratis. Blsine's decision not to be candi-

his affiuence, in some manner befriended

Kansas -. OREGON.

The most phenomenal snow stolm
that ever occurred in Kansas was on
the morning of the9th and continued
furiouslv all day. Trains were de-
layed. The telegraph wires prostra-
ted in all directions, with the excep-
Of one line in Kansas City. In
Atchison over 200 telephone wires
were so broken and tangled up with
the electric light wires that the cleo
trio light works had to be suspended
to prevent accidents The snow
storm was the heaviest that has Oc-
CURED tany season of the year since
1878. The extent of damage cannot
be ascertained, owing to the suspen-
sion of telegraphic communication.
Oregon has been getting herusual
amount of rain, but nothing like
the Kansas blizzard. Kansas alone
has not suffered. The storm extend
ed all over the Northwest. Is there
any surprise in seeing families leav-
ing those places, for homrs in our
more favored state?

THE word roorback, which is Sc
generally used this year, originated
in 1874, when a fictitious story was
published for purposes Of political
intrigue, and which purported TO be
an extract from the travels of Baron
Roorbach. The baron's name has
thus become synonym for cam
paign lie, although he himself was
innocent of any such guile. He
was sinned against rather than a
sinner.

Wednesday afternoon last the mem
bers of the Germania band, in mas
querade costume, paraded on several
of the streets, and presented an at
tractive though grotesque appearance.
They were notifying the citizens that
their annual masquerade ball was to
take place that evening. The hint
was taken and a very large number
of people assembled at the rink to see
the fun and enjoy the dancing. The
maskers were numerous and the va
riety of costumes extensive. The
view. as the maskers were dancing,
was an animated one, and we'll worth
seeing, while the enjoyment Of those
who were in costume appeared great
Dancing was kept up to late hour
and very pleasant evening passed
by those present. The Germania
band deserves good patronage and we
are pleased that their efforts to fur
nish the citizens with an evenings
amusement, met with success.
