That was an exceedingly unwise re-
solve that was forced upon the Grand
Encampment of the Grand Army of the
Republic in the Corporal Tanner business,
at its Milwaukee session on Thursday
and an unwarrented meddling in a
government matter, now undergoing
official inquiry. Tanner is an officer of
the federal government, charged with
loose and improper administration of the
pension office, and these charges have
had at least enough of substance in them
to demand official investigation; and
while this inquiry is going on-inquiry
sanctioned by soldiers at least as meri-
torious and patriotic as those composing
the Grand Encampment-tha body is
put into the position of prejudging the
case as if to influence the Judgment of
those engaged in the inquiry. That is
not a creditable attitude for the Grand
Army to occupysSnd their representa-
tives in the Grand Army Encampment
have challenged public censure by their
conduct in forcing them to occupy it,
The proper position for all law abiding
citizens, as to the official conduct of the
Commissioner of Pensions, was and is to
insist on prompt examination and report
upon the accusations of al-administra-
ton made against him, and to wait a
reasonable time for the report. But not
so the clamorous Tannerites in the
Grand Encampment; they must have
endorsement first and investigation
afterward. 1t was pointed out to them
by some of their more sensible comrades,
that they had no knowledge whatever as
to Commissioner Tanners administra-
ton Of his office, except what was pub
lished in the newspapers, and that they
should pass no resolution on the subject
until they did know whether he had
been unjustly accused or not The affair
can hardly fail to be unwelcome to
sensible and honorable comrades of the
Grand Army, for it carries with it an air
as if any kind of loose administration of
public office-any sort of jerky, cranky,
Eighty, inequitable methods are to be
upheld-if the official happens to be a
Grand Army man. We have no sort of
doubt that such feeling is repugnant to
the great majority of the comrades of the
Grand Army, and it certainly can find
no countenance from the majority of the
people Of the United tes.-Phild.

\ great deal of unnecessary criticism
has been INDUCED in during the past
few weeks against the miners examining
board of this district, on account of their
action in demanding from each person,
whether examined or registered, the
sum of fifty cents The seventh section
of the act says: ''That all persons who
shall be actually engaged as miners at
the time of the passage of this act, shall
be entitled to registration without ex-
animation, upon producing satisfactory
proof that they have been employed in
an anthracite mine in this common
wealth." The fee for this service is
twenty-five cents. For this the miner
gets nothing in return to certify that he
is a miner and entitled to be employed
as such, and should he remove from his
present place of employment he will be
under the necessity of returning to the
board and procuring a certificate for
which fifty cents will be charged. To
those who are objecting to paying fifty
cents we would say, pay it, take your
certificate and you need not be under
any necessity of following the board all
over the district when you have occasion
to change your place of working. The
board are trying to save persons further
expense by giving them the certificate
of registration and competency at the
same time. Can it be that there is some
sour grape business about this? Remem-
Der, gentlemen, that the members of the
board are workingmen like yourself and
are no doubt carrying out their instruc,
tions as best they can. Some of you
may get chance next year.

Mounting an Elephant.

Mr.. Barras, in his India and Tiger
Hunting" gives a description of his
selection of an elephant, and his first
experience in riding it. He was offered
his choice of half a dozen, and at once
picked out big fellow nearly 10 feet
high. It's name was Roghanath Guj,
and, as Mr.. Berras says, it bore an ex-
cellent character for both courage and
gentleness. 1t had already killed two
men, to be sure, but that was hardly
the animals fault, as they approached
carelessly when it was furious

and sugar, whilst the keeper was
explaining to me the animals manners
and customs.
Though ever ready to obey orders,
he much disliked having to kneel. An
elephants elbows are tender, and it
sometimes gets diseased joint from
being made constantly to assume this
posture on all sorts of ground to enable
people to mount. began, therefore,
by getting up IN the orthodox style,
which was as follows:
"On standing before HIM and indi-
eating that you wished to mount he
would lower himself by advancing
both his front legs; you then took hold
of his lips at the root of the tusks and
placed foot on the tip of each. He
then rose to his full height and tossed
up his head as high as his short neck
would allow and so enabled you to
to slide between his ears.
"To let me dsmount he would half
stoop on one hind leg, and raise the
other outward. On this extended
limb would slip by means of his tail,
and from thence to the ground, which
last was an easy step.

the first interview was, naturally,
rather risky but, as our acquaintance
was to be short, thought it advisable
to pass vote of confidence at once. l

No Signs of a Funeral Yet.

The K. of L. continues to grow abroad.
The work of extending the organization
until the whole earth is covered with a
network of Assemblies is progressing.
During the past week three charters
went to Scotland and two to Ireland,
while the first New Zealand Assembly is
about to be organized at Aukland. The
placing of the grape leaves of the Master
Workman capitol was prophetic. With
a steady growth in America and the
Order reaching out to other lands, our
friends the enemy will have to forego
the pleasure of attending the funeral of
the Knights of Labor for several decades
yet. May their patience be equal to the
strain. "Hope deferred maketh the

Social Equality the Remedy.

Everywhere popular freedom, for both
individual and state is being insidiously
encroached upon, and denounced as a
bad thing. These extremes of wealth
piling up in the hands of those who
produce nothing, and deepening poverty
becoming the lot of more and more of
those who produce, are fast breaking up
once happy and common society into
envious, hating factions. The poor look
upon the rich with envy; the rich look
upon the poor with cold contempt, and
between the two classes there is widen
ing gulf and merciless warfare. This
poisons the whole people.
Social equality once broken up, religious
fellowship soon follows. That process of
social disintegration is going on through
out this country to-day.-CHnton ArguS.

A Board of Trade a Necessity.

All over the country at the present
time cities, towns and villages are vieing
with one another in offering inducements
to manufacturers wishing to change their
location. Few have any idea what ener-
getic efforts are being made in live pro-
gressive places to attract enterprises of
all sorts, and direct them from the old
established centres of industry. BY
means of liberal advertising, sending out
agents to those manufacturers who are
supposed to be open to any kind of in
ducement, and by the offer of sums of
money and land a continual movement
of invested capital is going on into newer
channels, and important changes are
constantly occurring in every branch of
trade. With board of trade in our
midst to make known the advantages of
Freeland as a manufacturing centre this
town would contain several industries.
The supply of coal in this vicinity is as
yet scarcely touched, notwithstanding
rumors to the contrary. Nevertheless,
it is not good policy for a town to depend
upon any one industry and recent eX-
periences have made our merchants well
acquainted with that fact. The uncer-
tainty of the coal trade has proven that
it cannot be sufficiently relied upon for
any definite period, and the sooner the
business men and those who have the
welfare of the town at heart do their
duty in encouraging capitalists to locate
plants here the sooner will Freeland be
released from its dependence upon King
Coal. The facilities We possess are un-
known to outsiders and there is no better
channel to give them publicity than
through a good energetic board of trade.
This subject should be given immediate
attention and the results obtained will
benefit all, besides placing Freeland in
the ranks Of the most progressive towns
of the state.

Prunes are very ancient and were
grown ages ago in the East Eleven
varieties were known to ancient Ro-
man horticulturists, and in the region
around Damascus vigorous and wild
variety thrived that was much used as
a stock for grating, and is so used to
this day. France got the prune from
the Crusaders, and it was first culti-
waited near Clairac by the inmates of a
convent. Some of the best and most
famous prunes are now grown in the
extensive French orchards. The prunes
of commerce are classed by numbers,

What is the meaning of this, stupen-

men to despair and suicide? What has
come to us in these days of abundance
that capable workers, muscled men with
half of life before them, walk the streets
hungrily and fly at last to the grave to
shut out the bitter cries of their famish-
ing children? What mean these bloody
selfsacrifices, these frightful endings of
lives blighted by want? Who can ex-
plain or who justify these unnatural and
horrid tragedies? Men and brethren,
where is the blame? What is the cause
1t cannot be in the nature of things that
men willing to work should look three
months for work without finding it. 1t
cannot be in the nature of things that
want should find its victims where all
that goes to the satisfaction of human
wants is so abundant. Think of it, that
men are starving, with bake shops full
of bread-stores full of hour-granaries
full of wheat Think of it, little chill
dren, weak with hunger, and the infinite
stores of food that waits for consumers
Think of it, that the husband and father
looks in vain for bare chance to earn

In the recent great tariff debate in the
house of representative the leaders of
the Republican party boasted that since
the war they had abolished taxes to the
amount of $3.50, 100000 but not one dol
lar did they show had been removed
from the necessaries of life. They
simply boasted of their crime against
labor, and gloried in their shame. A
reduction of taxation, however, ON the
prime necessities cf life need never be
expected at the hands of the Republican
party. Its leaders are compelled to obey
the robber barons who plumber the
homes, the farms and the workshops of
the people, and are thus enabled to con-
tribute literally of their ill-gotten wealth
to the corruption of the ballot box and
the success of the Republican party
During the last session of congress bill
for the revision of the tariff was urged
upon the country by the leaders of that
party, and the duties were increased in
every schedule it contained, and espe-
cially on all woolen goods, iron and steel.
