The distress among the miners
and laborers Of Scranton, Pa, and
vicinity is on the increase. The
number of applicants for relief at
the Office of the relief committee are
steadily increasing. On Thursday
over two hundred persons we're
granted relief, and on Friday the
number had increased to three hun
dred. The subscriptions, however,
instead of increasing in proportion
to the applicants for relief, have
been steadily decreasing. There is
talk among the prominent people Of
the city of getting up an immense
fair for the benefit of the poor
people.

A meeting Of the lumbermen Of
the West Branch Valley was held at
Williamsport Friday evening March
7th, for the purpose Of discussing
the condition of business arising
from the scarcity of hemlock. 1t
was decided to make general ad-
vance in the price on all grades, to
take effect Immediately. The hem
lock output this season is 80, 900 900
short of last seasons. This con-
dition was brought about owing to
the open winter, which prevented
the handling of the stock. The
meeting Was largely attended by
manufacturers and dealers from the
entire lumber district of the State.

TWO CENTS A MONTH.
That Was the Net Earning OF a Scran-
ton Coal Miner.

A dispatch from Scranton says |:
Lack of work in the coal mines of
this section for several months has
resulted in much destitution among
the miners of the Lackawanna valley.
All that one Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western miner earned last
month, after the price of his family's
coal had been deducted, was two
cents, which he drew last week. A
number of Others received less than
81 over and above the price of the
coal which the company had furn-
ished them during the month.
Hundreds of miners earned less than
So in February, and the outlook is
not bright. The Scranton Poor
Board has been giving outdoor re-
lief to four times as many poor
people as it formerly did, and the
citizens have organized a relief COM
mittee, with one member in each of
the twenty-cns wards. A thorough
canvass of needy persons is being
made in each ward, and they will all
be supplied with the necessaries of
life as soon as possible. Sunday a
large store was opened on Washing
ton avenue for the receipt of con.
tributions of food and as a head-
quarters for it's distribution among
the poor. A flour fund was started
a few days ago, and in two days
nearly 200 barrels of -four were dis
tributed. Members of the relief
committee say that so far they have
found those families who arc the
most in need of immediate help are
the last to make their wants known.
Owing to the light coal traffic the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
Railroad Company suspended 100
trainmen here last week. Several
conductors went back to their old
occupation of breaking, and a num-
bev of engineers to firing. The
company's payments of February
wages will he 500, 900 less than it
paid out last month, and the indi-
cations are that the total payments
next month will be even smaller.

We have on exhibition in the post
Office building "United States"
washing machine, advertisement of
the same can be seen elsewhere in
this issue. By those who have in
vestigated this apparatus pronounce
it the best for the purpose made
they have ever seen and especially
does Atty. Z. M. Durham give it
high praise, and even goes SO far as
to say that he believes it would wash
the character of a Lawyer as white as
snow. Atty. E. M. D. is thinking
seriously ofinvesting in one. There
are other lawyers in the county who
should follow his example. It will
be acknowledged by all that if the
machine can do this work satisfac-
tory it certainly will do the work
represented in the advertisement.
Call and see it.

JUDGE METzGER DECIDES.

against the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, to restrain the latter from
obstructing by a switch the route
by which the former intends enter.
ing this city. The alleged obstruc.
tion consists of a switch on the
property of John Metzger, in the
First ward. His Honor, after a
thorough review of the authorities
bearing on the subject, grants the
motion and continues the temporary
injunction. The Pennsylvania CON-
pany will not, therefore, be allowed
to build the proposed switch, and
the North Branch line, which is in
fact the Lehigh Valley, will have a
clear passage into the city.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC PROSPERITY.

The prosperity of the Southern Pacific company is unquestioned. A summary of its earnings and expenditures for May show decided increase in net earnings over April, while the totals for five months ending May 3l are said to be much more favorable than those for the corresponding period last year. Despite the heavy expenditures and losses of traffic consequent on slides, ,washouts and blockades during January and February the indications are that the surplus for 1890 will exceed that of 1889.
 The gross earnings of the entire sys- tenn for May are reported at S4, ,l54, ,S55.' 71, and the operating expenses at $2,- 56S, ,646. .93, leaving balance over operat- ing expenses of $1 ,627, ,S54. The fixed charges are stated as follows: Taxes, $10l, ,9l6.67; interest on funded debt, sS4S, ,307.24; rental of Central Paci- fc road, $l13,333; Central Pa cifc sinking fund, s6l ,250, making 8 total of $l ,274, ,777.15, leaving a net pro. fit for the month of $33S, ,O76.9l. This is significant since it is in contrast with a deficit of $16O, l36 in May of last year and net profit of s, ,9S6in April of this year.
 Much of this prosperity is due to the completion of the California X Oregon railroad, giving the company excep' tional facilities for Coast business and to general revival of business in north ern California. It is a reaping of the planting of many years and to a wise administration of the road in the past though we have no doubt that MT Huntington, the new President, will arrogate to himself all credit for this magnificent showing.

INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS.

The Lord helps those who help them selves, is a saying true as Holy Writ.
 The possibilities in Arizona are equal, if not superior, Co any equal territory of country in the United States, and it's development has not yet begun. How can this be done?
 Arizona must use every endeavor to increase her internal improvements; railroads, reduction works for her ores, establishments for drying and packing fruit, pleasure and health resorts must all be encouraged or built.
 Cities and towns can offer sites for the necessary building purposes, while water companies can offer water, or reduced rates on water.
 The Territory can, under proper re- strictions and supervision, exempt from taxes for period of years. These and other things can be done.
 The first issue made against us is tbat our taxes are too high, and undoubtedly this has prevented many enterprises from starting, and an exemption from taxes for period of years, on enter prises of importance, would certainly largely aid in turning the attention of capital towards Arizona.
 Undoubtedly there is a very strong prejudice among many against exemp- ton from taxes, but if any sensible man understands that a business will start and an expenditure of two or three hun dred thousand dollars, more or less, be made in his immediate neighborhood that will employ from twenty to fifty hands, and that will, say, bring the ores from all the surrounding mines, and thus give new life or vigor to the entire neighborhood, would sensible men be justified in refusing an exemption from taxes when failure to exempt would prevent such an enterprise from being es- tablished? If the work did not start you would not have it to tax, if it does start, while it is exempted from tax, still around it spring up thousands of dollars of other improvements in the way of houses for the men to live in, increased values to other properties, increase of money that goes into numerous tax paying investments, so that the tax rolls are certain to increase fully as much or even more than the value of the property exempted. In short, without the ex- emption, you would have no increase of taxes, while with the exemption and by reason of the exemption, tax rolls would soon be increased even more than the amount exempted.

A COMPROMISE has been reached in!the lottery fight in the Louisiana legislature. The House bill will be passed by the Senate, submitting a constitutional amendment to vote at the next state election. A primary election is to be held before, however, at which only whites will vote on the question of ac- cepting or rejecting the lottery proposi- tion. If at this primary the vote is against the lottery company, it will op- crate as bar to the vote on the amend ment and the company will leave the state when the charter expires. To a man up a tree this looks like trick. The white primary scheme is lugged in to satisfy the opposition, the managers well knowing that such a provision is unconstitutional and imperative. Dol lars to marbles the lottery gets new charter.

IT remained for Frank Pixley to dis cover that "the Pope is bi-metallist and in favor of free and unlimited coin age." Of course, Frank was in sar- castle mood when be said that, for he immediately added: "The Pope is en- deavoring to re-establish his civil power and retake his place among the kings of earth. Spiritual ascendancy no longer contents him. He would again be Caesar at Rome, again fill the imperial throne, wear the diadem, and rule the world. He would rather be the sue cessor of Augustus the Magnificent than of Peter the Fisherman. All this re- quires money"

Two French inhabitants of Crofrow, near the frontier, were fired upon the other day, and one wounded, by Ger man sentry. The men were gathering fire wood in the forest on the frontier and crossed into German territory. When challenged by the sentry and ordered to withdraw they failed to respond and then the firing began. This is the sort of peace that reigns in Europe, where innocent people in search of fuel are shot down like the vilest desperadoes. France may make this case of diplomatic correspondence.

ATTORNEY GENERAL CHURCHILL has been so uniformly successful in his actions against the Democrats who had determined to usurp the offices in this Territory, that we are not surprised that the Democratic press hates him. This is another instance in which man should be loved because of the enemies he has made. The assaults on General Churchill in his capacity as private attorney are, of course, thoroughly inex- cusable, but we are quite mistaken in the man if he is not abundantly able to take care of himself.

NEVADA CTY, in California, shows the anomaly in the West of having lost a large per cent of It's population in the past ten years. The population now is 2650 and of the township 405O, a de- crease of 2750 since 1880. The decline is due to the stoppage of hydraulic mining. The region was sconsidered adapted to nothing else, though fruits are now successfully raised in spots.

No NEWSPAPER that invades the sanc- tity of the home and drags the private affairs of men into public can be any good to the community in which it is published. Men largely judge a com munity by its newspapers, and they do not take kindly to place that supports an abusive and scurrillous publication.
