LAST week the miners of the Read
ing Company were notified that two
thirds time would prevail until further
notice. Now, according to everyday
Republican logic and reasoning, why
not put the elixir of life into this in
dustry by placing 40 or so per cent.
duty on anthracite coal. They claim
that every other trade is benefited
by a tariff and why is the miner
slighted?

Better Of without Them.

From all accounts there are several
fake" industries locating in different
parts of the state, their sole object being
to squeeze money out of the citizens of
the place where they put up their tent,
and then skip to ply their operations
somewhere else. One of these is the
Acme hosiery mill, which came to Halle
ton a few months ago from Schuylkill
Haven, the management receiving $250C
from the people of our neighboring Dor
ough, to pay for machinery and the eX-
pense of moving. About a dozen girls
were given employment, being COM
PEELED to work free gratis until they
learned the business, and the total
amount of wages paid out in Hazleton
did not exceed $72. Such Industries"
that employ none but female or child
labor do nothing to assist in building up
a town, but they do much to retard its
advancement by running the health of
the operatives, and in many instances
the morals. The Hazleton concern has
removed to White Haven, where it will
begin operations in a short while. The
former place has undoubtedly learned
lesson that will prove beneficial to it,
and Freeland can also take warning at
the same time. All possible induce
ments should be offered to industries to
locate here, but they should be of a class
that would reflect credit on the town
and not prove menace to it. Factories
or mills that will give employment to
skilled mechanics and common laborers
are the kind that are wanted, and then
the children may be kept at school and
the young girls at home, away from the
degrading tendency of the factory.

The Easton Express says that the
sheriff of northampton County sold
eleven properties on Saturday, seven
being farms and the rest business con-
Germs and smaller properties. The
sheriff of Lehigh County sold out five
farmers last week and will sell out a
number more this week. In other coun-
ties farmers are equally unfortunate.
The fact that two-thirds of the number
sold out by the sheriff are farmers is not
accident. There is a cause for il all
which produces results as naturally as
night follows day. That the farmers
are suffering an unjust discrimination
that the law makes against them i,
apparent from the fact that they are not

MORNING APPEAL.
A HINT TO NEW YORK.

In another column we print q
letter nom NV Yorker who
takes deception 10 some remarks
made in reference to him few
weeks sgo.
Our New York correspondent
warns the APPEAL that it is party
treason not to accept tire dictates
OF the bond holders of Wall street.
No doubt u-any Democratic bond
holders are also busy writing let
tiers to Democratic journals warn
ing them that ii is party treason not
to stand in with a single standard
Democratic President. The New
York Republicans brighten their
party with this cry and the New
York Democrats do the same thing
with theirs and no matter which
side wins, Wall street is Gu top.
Now The Republicans who believe
in silver and the Democrats who
believe in silver, out-number the
men in both parties who do not.
The time has arrived when the
people OF the United States will not
listen to the cry from New York, that
New York will bolt the ticket, un-
less it has the naming of a gold bug,
President and Secretary OF Trea-
sury. The silver men Of the West
constitute the new rising power in
politics, and it 10 time we cracked
the whip and threatened to bolt If
We don't have our way.
That is exactly the status of the
fight at present. Unless the Re-
publican party, at its next National
Convention puts q free coinage
plank on its platform, it ought to
loose every State West of the Mis-
sour river, and when it wakes up
to the idea that it iriH loose these
States, unless it restores silver to
its old position, the plank will 90 in.
II the Republican party does net
put this plank in Its platform,
every silver man in the West should
decline to vote for it, and if it loses
the Presidential election once by
reason of its devotion to New York
it will understand that the threats
of Western silver producers are not
idle ones, and that they mean
business. Ii it has to come to this
to win the fight for silver, the
sooner it comes, the better.

BRANCH POsTOFFICEs.

Postmaster-General WanamakeI
has hit upon one idea that, if prop
erly carried out, will do much to
improve the service. He proposes
to establish package stations in the
drug stores and news-stands of the
cities, that shall at the same time
act as branch postoffices, for the sale
Of stamps, postal notes and money
orders. The first experiment is to
be made in Boston, with fifteen
package stations" for receiving
mail matter too bulky to go into the
lamp-post letter boxes, but 1t is the
intention Of the postoffice depart
ment to try the more ambitious plan
in most Of the large cities as soon as
possible.
The want Of such a system is
seriously felt in every city. The
lamp post letter boxes are just the
thing for collecting the letter mails,
but offer no provision for papers and
packages.
IT Is believed by the department
that most of the drug stores Of a
cit Y can he secured for the contem-
pi ited branches at "A comparatively
small cost. The owners of the Bos-
ton package stations are to be paid
$1,000 II year for the room taken and
the time necessary to attend to the
business. This is small pay for sell
ing stamps, weighing pac ages and
making out such orders as may be
given to the branches; but the pro-
plietors will doubtless regard its
v,lue as an advertisement In accept
ing the governments terms.
BY the establishment OF the pro-
p sed branches the postofIice will
cut in heavily on the business of the
express companies. The expense
aud loss OF time in getting packages
to the postoflice now otter over
balances its advantages where 1t does
the service for lower rates. 1t is
probable that an additional appro-
plialion will be required, though the
expense will be balanced to some
extent by the saving of clerk-hire at
the central offices. In an improve
ment that would be of such benefit
no reasonable expense should be
spared.

THE LUNA MOTH.
A Beautiful Creature That Haunts the
Electric Lights.

Electric Lights.
Shadows Of fitting nocturnal things that
hover about the street electric lights are
seen, thrown upon street or pavement, by
hundreds Of passers by who never know If
the creatures that cause them are bats,
moths or some smaller things whose near
ness to the light magnifies the fitting
shadow. In fact, there are all Of these
creatures frequently lowering about the
lights; the bats, doubtless, in pursuit Of
some of the tiny insect brood, while the
larger moths are drawn, like the minute in

The wings expand about five inches-in

of purple runs along the front edge of

ring of black and yellow on the upper side
Of the wing, and white beneath. Each hind
wing has a slender, symmetrical tail, nearly
two inches long The good-sized body is
thiolly covered with a hair-like mantle of
white-a kind of down, which looks like soft
kind Of slightly curled hair of the white bear.
The eyes, rather large, are Deep dark, dull
