Report comes to us this morning from Nant
coke, this county, that another batch of unfor
tunates have paid the penalty of coal mining
The accident occurred yesterday in the No.
slope of the Susquehanna Coal Company by al
explosion of gas whereby three men were in
stantly killed and four others so badly injured
that they are not supposed to recover. A naked
lamp is supposed to have been carried by some
person, thus causing the gas to ignite. Work
was suspended for the day.
1t is time for such explosions as these, caused
by explosions of gas, to be put stop to- II
the rules of the colliery and the mine ventila.
ton laws are properly carried out, such acci,
dents will not take place. Our experience is
that the miner in his haste to do certain things
does that which he ought not to do; and by his
act jeopardizes the lives of his fellow men.

A Creditable Showing.

Considering the hard times and the
slackness of time worked by our people
during the last month, the annexed re-
port of the condition of the Citizens
Bank, of Freeland, shows that during
the month just ended, since it commenc-
ed business, it has made a wonderful
stride. With steadier work and larger
business done by our merchants in the
future there can be no doubt but what it
will double its present business.

ARE THEY DECEIVED ?

The Lawrence Journal TribRne
asks the above question in referring
to Admire's recent blowout in Che
Hutchinson Ne'Cs, IN which he at
tempted to make il appear that the
people Of Kansas are being led into
forbidden paths by that bad man
that rSbel brigadier, L. L. Polk, pres
ident OF the National Alliance. No,
they are not deceived now. They
have been in former times by idiots
Of the Admire stripe, but they will not
be deceived this year.

political intnguos Of nominating con
ventions. The delegates or candi
datos did not require a car load 0
beer TO keep up their enthusiasm
The entire fairness and unaminity o
sentiment everywhere manifested wa
in happy contrast with the usuu
methods and bitter contests OF politi
cal conventions.
Great stress is laid upon the secre
meetings OF the convention and II
"star'chamber politics" Who, tina
has ever attended a political conven
tion Of any party does not know tina
both the policy and tho candidate
are determined by the star-chambo
methods
The only difference in the star
chamber Of the Hill City convention
and the star chambers OF republican
and democratic conventions consists il
this fact-that in the former the on
tire delegation and all visiting mem
bers Of the orders represented were
admitted to the chamber, while in th'
latter few shrewd political dema
gogues retire alone to their hole il
the wall and put up the jobs which
are TO serve their personal interests
and political preierment AS a fur
ther illustration OF star-chamber poll
tics, we republish in this connection
portion Of the oath Of the republi
can league, which is as follows:
"And furthermore, do most solemnly nm,
sincerely promise and swear that / will siead
iastly support the constitution and principles o
the league, and implicitly obey the behests an'
the orders VI los commander; that will not upOI

A party that is governed by an oatl
of this character does well To talk o.
star chamber politics.
In conclusion, il may be stated tha
the reporters Of the papers named goI
precisely the kind Of report they went
after. Any other kind would moi
have answered the purpose they haC
in view, and 70 far as it's correctness
is concerned they could have written
it as well in Topeka as at Hill City.
Since the foregoing was written
wc have read a supplemental report
in the Kansas City Times, which il
characterized by a spirit Of greater
fairness than its first report; and il
ovinces a little understanding OF the
motives which lead the alliance Ia
transact it's business in secret, and TO
censure the treatment accorded the
order by the press.
The advocate., 1890-06-11

| Nutll lNllbibAs
The secret work and guiding influence Of tho
convention have been coming 10 light through
the IN temper and vindlctiyo samgcness Of the
members
II is stated that the farmers sur
rounding Hill City we've excluded
from the meeting and that all sorts
Of maledictions were pronounced by
those rural denizens against the dele
gates because Of this infringement Of
their sacred rights. AS the farmers
OF chat section are all members of the
order, and all members Of the order
were admitted TO the meeting, the
truth Of this statement is in keeping
with the balance Of it.
The Capital repeats the false
hood relating to the attempt OF
the chairman OF the conven-
tion to "pack the committee on
resolutions against Mr.. Ingalls,, with
as much assurance as though il had a
basis OF truth. To have packed a
committee IN faror Of Mr.. Ingalls, il
would have been necessary to go out
side Of that convention for the ma
terisl, but as has been before stated
no consideration in any way relating
TO the Kansas senator had anything
to do with the appointment Of the
committee The question was not
mentioned or thought Of in this CON
nection.
The Capital further says:
Tonight Chairman McGmth was almost llyld
with anger but was manlully struggling TO hold
his peace-llkewlse his tongue. The cause Of his
anger is not publicly announced, but II Is evident
he has been frustrated In some OF his schemes
several times during the day.
If Chairman McGrath manifested
any Of the rabid symptoms above at
tributed to him, it was after the adj
iournment Of the convention, for he
expressed himself to us personally az
highly gratifled with the result Of the
convention. He would have person
ally preferred the admission to the
meeting Of the representatives Of the
press, but in his speech upon that
subject or any other he displayed no
feeling, and during the entire session
was in the best of spirits, and prosid-
cd with dignity, with fairness, and
with ability over the deliberations Of
the convention.
The following beautiful sentiment
is attributed to A. b. Montgomery by
the Capital reporter. We reproduce
it and ask Mr.. Montgomery wheth-
or it is true. InasmuCh as Mr.
Montgomery claimed to enter the
race in good faith and pledged him
self to stand by tho nominee of the
convention we doubt that he made
any such allusicn to the other candi-
dates. We ask him to answer fOr
himself;
Mr.. Montgomery this evening, In speaking OF
the four preacher candidates, saldi ~ can stand
a lot Of preachers, but when they sling whole
id carload at me, IL Is too much"

arise and was not mentioned in con
nection with the appointment OF the
committees. There were some changes
made in the committees after their
first appointment, but no wrangling
occurred, and the changes we're made
from other considerations than those
named. The sentiment OF the conven-
tiOn concerning Mr.. Ingalls, might
readily be inferred from the fact that
every candidate placed in nomination
was required TO declare himself op-
posed TO the senator's reelection.
This fact is stated in tho reports un-
der consideration. If there was an
Ingalls, man present in Hill City on
the 9Th day Of June, he failed to ma
terialize or make his presence known
on the floor Of the convention. We
do not know what took place in the
committee room, but we venture the
prediction that the report Of those
proceedings is as false as that con-
corning the convention itself. We
shall ascertain and report the facts.
The Journal has the following in
relation to the support Of the several
candidates. We give il because we
do not think either Of the three pa
pers in which the reports appear have
circulation Of any consequence in
the sixth district, and we desire the
people to know the character Of this
report:
The following OF each was determined and at
one time there seemed little llkeIyhOOd Of arry-
ing at an amiCable understanding. The cOmpO-
stiOn Of the convention was a curious one, there
being republicans, democrats, labor unionIsts,
knights Of Labor, socialists and anarchists. II
was hard 10 mix these quantities, although they
we're agreed upon one subject. They did not
want the assistance Of outsiders, or "foreign
barbarlans," as one Of them said. Each quantl-
by ythreatened a bolt II selection was made from
any other quantity. Nearly all Of the delegates
had O grievance although all OF them openly
proclaimed that they had considered brlbes In
the shape OF Offices offered them by republicans,
which they had rejected. Some Of them have
calOused lips, caused by years Of holding on 10
the public teat, and having at last been forced To
lot go, they are In on the rebellion. Some few Of
them are honest men, possibly nauOw-mInded,
who believe they have been selected as the apos-
Ties OF salvation TO redeem this state and nation,
believing In the direction Of predestinatlOn, and
are firmly convinced that within their orders are
tO be found enough voters 10 elect congress-
man, while all outside are destined TO forever
hereafter gaze upon the ruins Of the republican
and democratic parties.
1t will be a surprise to the dele
gates and visitors who were present
to learn for the first time from this
report that the above described con-
dition Of things prevailed. The sa-
gacity Of the reporters is wonderful
in it's manifestations The idea of a
threatened "bolt' in the Hill City
convention is too absurd to any one
who was present to merit even a
passing notice; and the unfairness
and mendacity exhibited in the entire
paragraph is apparent upon the face
OF il.
The following statement Of the
Journal reporter is probably true,
The advocate., 1890-06-11


tion Of the actual workings Of tho dis
tillers bonded warehouse system for
the purpose OF showing the parallel
ism between u and the warehouse
systom which Che farmers sub-troas-
ury bill would establish. Our invps-
tigation exposes such monstrous in
iquity, such corruption, and such
shameless class iayoritism that we
take back our claim OF parallelism.
Woshould feel disgrNced TO be caught
asking for anything at all approach
ing a likeness TO tho stupendous
swindlo OF tho distillcrs' bonded
warehouse system.
Z The warehouse bill OF tho farmers
and laborcrs OF America is perfectly
plain, common sense business propO-
sition. II is just what il appears 10
be on the face OF IT, II gives dollar
for dollar every time, with all Che
advantages Of security on the side Of
the government, and with all its pro-
Visions, either directly or indirectly
in tho interest of the whole country
and Of all classes of citizens.
The parallels between the liquor
warehouse system and the grain ware.

They do not 90 down INTO Che dark
duplicity Of the liquor warehouse sys-
tenn.
The plain reading and theprofessed
purpose Of the statutes regulating the
liquor trade present parallels which
effectually dispose Of all objections TO
our sub treasury billj but Che actual
working Of the laws relating 10 Che
liquor trade, as supplemented by Cor-
tain other fayoring provisions, place
the liquor trade in a position 10 avail
itself Of opportunities TO filCh money
from the United States treasury that
the honest yeomanry Of America
would scorn TO take advantage Of
even were they thrust upon them.
The only methods whereby such
Legislation as the liquor trade Of this
country now enjoys could be obtained
were dishonest methods: Subterfuge,
secrecy, bribery and double meaning,
seeming one thing and being another
these were the means employed and
the methods used to obtain the stat
utes, not which control the Liquor
trade, but the statutes which enable
the trade 10 derive such advantages,
such favoring conditions Of govern
ment that il, in connection with Che
money power, can control the entire
political machinery of the nation.
On the other hand the only hope Of
obtaining such Legislation as our sub
treasury bill calls for lies in eduCa-
tionj in full open discussion Of all itS
provisions, in appealing to the sense
Of justice and fair play and IN setting
forth it's plain common sense business
principles
