The BATTLE OF TIE WEAK.

Up in the mining region Of Pennsylva-
mia sixteen hundred hard handed, grimy
men are waging n bitter contest with their
employers. Il is another example of the
great duel which the social condition
Of to-day not only invites but precipi-
tates. The lsborers are always the weaker
adversary, because they must eat while
they wait. and bread does not grow by
the black roadside.
Men with rifles in their hands, hired by
the capitalistic owners Of the mines. are
thick about the i e-lands. ready to meet
any trespassing ON the grounds OF at
tackS on the "scAbS" by a bullet.
Hard outlook Poverty against wealth.
weakness against strength. But is it also
the conflict of right against wrong9 II
so, win it must in the long run. But
there is danger ahead in these strained
feelings between the two bodies. Some
day something will come which every
body will deplore. If justice could be
done things might be better.

CHOOSE YOUR VALENTINE.
Popularity Of the Lovers Saint
Undiminished in 1890.
Novelties in Sentimental Missives
for Susceptible Youth.

Doctors of high degree are n; odds ma TO
the origin Of the festival of ST. Valentines
Day. One authority snys that IL is the
highly uncivilized festival Of Lupercalin
civilized. Another that tho good st.
Valentine, who was executed by Emperor
Clnudius, tho stepfnthcr Of that famous
violinisl, Nero, Of Rome. was such a
tcnder-hearted saint that the day became
the festnl day OF all true lovers.
Still another contends that the enrly
Church set the 18th Of February ns the
annual saint SOLICITING day, and that on
this day, all saints being equally good,
their names nro written ON slips Of paper,
juggied in n hat, MS it were, and then
drawn out, one by one. by the assembled
faithful, md that onch participant adopted
as his patron saint for tho year, him
whose name was written on the slip

HOW WANTS" HAVE GROWN.
Is THIS RIGHT 2

Is 1t right tina. the children of this city
should be denied q public school educa-
ton because there are not schools enough
for them ? There is only one thing TINT
can justify such q hideous wrong. and
that would be that the children increased
faster than school houses can be built, or
that the city is absolutely unable TO sup
ply the funds for schools.
This last In not the case. Out Of the
money allowed TO the Board of Education
by the Board of Estimate and Apportion-
ment, q new site and new building are
being provided. The quarters of the
Board at Grand and Elm are not hand
some or luxurious, but they will do. Is
It not a municipal scandal worthy Of this
town that while children are calmly de-
MED admission to the grades for which
they are qualified. because of the lack of
room for them in the schools. that the
Board is preparing o fine, roomy establish
mont for itself?
No reasonable citizen will think il any
thing but right that the Board of Educa-
ton should have a large. dignifed roomy
house, Civic dignity makes such estab-
lishments acceptable. But it is a crying
shame that any child in this city should
be denied an education, that most essen.
tial right Of every American child. since
it Is the basis of sound citizenship. Let
there be schools.

drawn by lot in this way was the 'valen-
tine to the ono who drow him, because
the drawing was on st. Valentines birth

The first theory seems most easy Of be-
lief, for Lupercus was the god of fertility
in old pagan Rome. and the festival Of
the Lupercalia was in his honor, but cele-
brated OIL the day set apart for the glorif-
cation Of Juno Februata, goddess of mar
ringe.
In the climate Of Rome the birds began
to choose their mates in February, and
why not the boys and girls?
Whether Valentines Day was instituted
as IN honor to the good saint, or is a relic
of ancient ~pa-anism. is a matter of little

It's love that makes the world 60 round.
Originally the valentine was penned by
the amOrous sender, andthe sentiment
was laboriously corkscrewed out of his

times appalling. Sam Weller's historical
eifusion to Mary, the housemaid. was a

The Sam Wellers discovered that IL was
hard work to write valentines without
putting more hlots than n. b., c's on the
paper, and the Orlaudo's found that their
muse limped OIL Rwfullv crooked feet.
Thus their necessity gave birth TO the
invention of ready-made valentines. with
hearts bursting with signs, sentiment and
all.
The valentine, however. grew annually
in go~rgeousness and proportionately in
popular favor, till n few years ago il had
reached the grOwn-up stage. Valentines
became works of art and the art stores
more the principal depots of the trade.
Husbands bought them for their wives,
and wives for husbands. They became
