After reading the Declaration Of Inde-
pendence at Priceburg on the Fourth Of
July, Mr.. Powderly said that last week in
Philadelphia religious leaders brought a
petition to him signed by the leading clergy
men, lawyers and business men, implorlng
the Gar Of Russia to be merciful to the
prisoners In the Siberian mines, and vet in

and no one sends petitions to their enslav-
ers asking that their chains be ,Oosened.
The chains on the laborlng men are fast

Party "bosses" such as Matt Quay are

And now with the close of the nine

American Congress what Il shall do. A
few days ago a convention was held, and
through the influence Of Boss Quay favor.
ite son of the Standard Oil Company, one
of the giant monopolies of the world was
nominated for Governor. and the will Of
thousands Of voters of the State was thus
set aside So much for another uncrowned
king of Pennsylvania. In comparison witt

corporation is menace to church ant

OF INTEREST no SOLDIERS.

President Harrison has signed the new
pension bill, and it is now law. Under Its
liberal provisions more than three hundred
thousand soldiers and sailors, and nearl y
all widows, minor children and dependent
relatives are entitled to pension. This
law pensions:
!. Every mother or father of deceased
soldier will receive $12 per month, provided
said soldier would have been entitled to a
pension had he lived, and left no widow nor
minor child. All that is necessary to show
ls that the claimant is now unable to earn
= support.
2. All honorably discharged soldiers,
who served ninety days, who are so dis
ab.ed as TO render them unable TO earn
support, are entitled 10 a pension not ex.
ceedlng twelve dollars per month. This
effects those now on the pension roll re-
csiVing less than $l2.
3. Every widow of a soldier or officer.
who has no other means of support than
her daily labor is entitled to $s per month
and 81 per month additional for each
minor child, without regard TO the cause Of
soldiers death.
4. When the widow Of any officer or
soldier Is dead or remarked the pension is
allowed the children under sixteen years.
o. Where child Of a deceased soldier or
omcer is insane, idlOtlc or otherwise help
less, the pension Is continued during life
OF IS long as disability lasts. This pro-
vision elects all children who may have
been placed on the pension roll. and who
are now sixteen years Of age. Their names
csR be restored and pension obtained.

1t is quite interesting reading to Republi
cans and others in this county, aware of
the present status of things, to read the
appended article from the Philadelphia
Inquirer of Monday in which Gen. William
Lilly, Of Mauch Chunk airs his views as to
the political condition in Carbon.
"There are no Barkers in our county
and you can put Carbon down as solid for
Delamater and the whole ticket" ex-
claimed General William Lilly, the veteran
coal operator and Republican leader Of the
anthracite region, as he stroked his flowing
beard and sighed for a cooling breeze in
frOnt of the Continental last evening.
mo" he continued confidently. there
are no breaks in the Republican ranks in
our section, and we don't anticipate any.
My personal choice for Governor was
Charles W. Stone, but while regret that
he was not nominated. am Just as heartily
for the nominee as though my fayorite
headed the ticket. We do not grow
kickers up our way. l am glad to say
that every Information / haYe from differ
ent sections of the State backs up my
opinion formed upon what saw just after
the convention adjourned, that the de-
fections will be few and far between.
Wharton Barker, who has been flock
ing Ly himself, making a great noise, has
been playing dog in the manger for years.
He has always been more or less of a
kicker. That the Republicans, who ought
TO know him best, are not in sympathy
with his course in politics is evident. He
claims to be the original Harrison man.
Well, all know about that is that he
wanted to go as delegate to the great Ma
tional Republican Convention, and he was
defeated In his own district. | think that
you will find that these same Republicans
who refused TO send him as their repre-
sentative to the Chicago Convention will
not take their politics as he wishes it
served In the present campaign. There
will be very small crop of Barkers in
Pennsylvania this fall"
''What effect will Powderly's attitude
have upon the labor vote in your section ?"
was query here interjected.
"Wsll, II you want my honest opinion" !"
General Lilly replied, smilingly. 81 don't
think H. will have any influence whatever.
The worklngman of Carbon county have
peculiar knack of doing their own think
Ing. You will find in this campaign that
the Republicans among the labor element
In our section will vote for Delamater, and
those who have been in the habit of sup
porting Democratic candidates will be for
Pattison. Republicans of Pennsylvania
can look to Carbon county to do the right
thing by the whole ticket this fall"

A FOrshandsd YanL...

A New Hampshire boy, several Year,
before the war, found himself in Little
Rock, Ark, then one Of the Indian
agencies. He began as clerk and then
became a merchant on his own account.
Long before the war actually commenced
he oomprehended the political situation,
and IN 1850, when he felt sure his state.
with other southern states, would secede.
he proceeded TO dispose of his large stock
and invested the same in cotton. He
further took the precaution to secure
athdavits to prove his northern birth and
his northern sympathies When the
south was actually invaded his Con.
federate friends in Little Rock laughed
at him, telling him that the Yanks
would coniscate his cotton. He said
nothing.
When the Union invading force
reached Little Rock his cotton, amount.
ing TO several thousand bales, was seized
aud sent north on government account.
After a little he succeeded In getting
through the Confederate lines, and ar.
rived In New York about the time his
cotton arrived. He at once presented
his papers 10 the government. They re-
leased his cotton. He sold It on the rise
Of the market, say at $1.sO per pound.
It's cost averaged him about six cents.
The transportation to New York cost
him nothing. Today he occupies one Of

We think the Democrats have acted
wisely in nominating Robert f. Pattison
for Governor Of this Commonwealth. He
is unquestiOnably the strongest Democrat
in the state at this time-his record as
Governor in the early eighty standing out as
an eloquent argument TO his faithfulness
and integrity to the masses. While he may
not be elected, he will nevertheless poll a
large vote and keep our Republican friends
on the defensive until the close of the

do so at once and save considerable in the cost
of the same, from the fact that after the thor

THE Champion Of the Dist, after
exposing the corrupt methods by
which it is openly proposed to re-
elect Senator Ingalls,, asks
How do the monlIsts who are bowling for
ingalls, reconcile their devotion 10 the author

What apology or defense have they 10 make for
this form Of political buccaneerlng2 How can
they Justify their adherence 10 man who thus
parades To the world hls advocacy Of the yIlest
form Of political nfamy?
We would most humbly ask the
Champion who those ''moralists that
are bowling for Ingalls," are? And
we would still further ask how the
Champion can support these howlers
for Ingalls, and consistently oppose
his re-electionl Has not every re-
publican convention that has met in
Kansas this year resolved in favor Of

1t would seem to an observer from

Champion is quite inconsistent in op-

party that is everywhere pledged to
his reelection. Will the Champion
tell us what hope there is Of the de-
feat Of the Senator except through

AS USUAL in such cases, it turns out
that those resolutions Of Hazel Dell

adopted or even introduced into that

men and five women who had with
drawn from the alliance some time

for publication. They are a libel
