PAYING TAXES.
Coke Bros. a. Co. Employ Slave Labor to
Work on the Township Roads.

The ordinary citizen thinks if he paws
his taxes in a stipulated time and saves
5 per cent. he is doing well. Mr.. Eckley
b. Coke has, however, shown that it is
possible to make tax paying dividend
paying procedure and the manner in
which this heretofore impossible feat is
performed will challenge the admiration
of the world of finance and the still
larger world of taxpayers.
The court last week decided that Coke
Bros. q Co. were entitled to work out
their taxes the same as the ordinary
citizen and the supervisor accordingly
gave permission to the company to start
work.
Coke Bros. & Co. have placed party
of men at work. They are nearly all
new arrivals. They are paid 80 cents
a day Then the township is charged
four cents for the use of each tool used
by the men. AS the rate allowed day
to laborer working out his taxes is 81 So
per day it will be seen that Coke Bros
d Co. are in about Al cents which will
amount to considerable when the num-
Der of men is taken into account.
The law makers of this state never in
tended that taxes should be paid bv
slave labor. Coke Bros. & Co. are, of
course, the largest tax payers in the
township, but it is extremely difficult to
see wherein they justify themselves in
asking Sl.35 day for the labor of man
to whom they only pay 80 cents a day,
but as employers have a reason for every
selfish act on their own part while ever
ready to accuse the workingmen of seek
ing to rob them so Mr.. Coke will find
some Justification. n.-SeHtinel

VISIT THE GLEN.
Grand Opportunity to Enjoy Day of
Pleasure and Recreation.

1t seems that every body is going to the
Glen on Saturday along with the fourth
annual excursion of the Freeland Citi-
zens' Hose Co. And why shouldn't
they? No better opportunity will be
had this summer to enjoy days outing
than is offered on this occasion. Tickets
for the round trip are sold at the low
rate OF 50 cents for adults, and 90 cents
for children. Go yourself and take the
little ones along. Show your apprecia-
ton of a deserving organization, one
that is ready at all hours to protect your
property or life. The money spent for
such purposes is never regretted. The
benefits derived more than repay the
cost of the trip.
1t is needless to comment upon the
beauties of Glen Onoko. 1t is favorite
spot with Freeland people and will be
filled with them on Saturday. For some
years it has been famous stopping place
for summer tourists and excursionists.
1t is one of the most popular summer
resorts in the Lehigh Valley, neat and
attractive; provided with all the COM
forts, conveniences and amusements for
young and old. With its abundant re-
sources of entertainment it solicits old
friends and new in larger numbers with
each recurring season.
The excursion train will leave Free
land at 7.45 A. NJ, and returning will
leave the Glen at p. NJ The Freeland
Base Ball Club and the Tigers Club will
accompany the excursion, the former
playing at Lehighton and the latter at
Mauch Chunk. These two games will
attract large number from town, who
will spend the greater portion of their
time at the Glen.

Libor Winter attended the funeral of
an old comrade, Charles Langkammer.
at Lehighton on Tuesday afternoon.
His death was brought about under
peculiar circumstances, and resulted
from wound received in the late war.
At the time of his death he was one of
the foremen of the Lehigh Valley shops
at Packerton. He came to this country
from Germany in 1854, and, until the
breaking out Of the rebellion, was en-
ployed in the Lehigh Valley shops at
Weatherly, He served about year in
the army, being badly wounded at the
battle of Fair Oaks in June, 1862. For
2S years since he was in the Lehigh
Valley Railroad Company's employ in a
number of responsible positions. His
death was due to the wound he received
in the shoulder at the battle of Fair
Oaks, over 80 years ago. He was a
member of Company G, Eighty-first
Pennsylvania Volunteers. As a result
of the wound, the bone of his arm was
shattered clear through. He resisted
amputation and the broken pieces of the
bone were, in manner, healed together,
but the arm never became of any use,
and on a number of occasions since
caused him much pain, suffering and
sickness. His fatal illness commenced
three weeks ago. 1t seems that pieces
of the bone in his arm had become
diseased. Modification set in, and death
resulted from blood poisoning. The
mans sufferings are said by his attend
ants to have been intense beyond descrip-
ton. The arm should have been ampu-
tated years ago, and his physician often
advised him to have it done, but he
always objected.

Residents of Freeland who expect to
visit the Worlds Fair at Chicago in 1898
might profit by the action of persons in
some towns who are organizing World s
Fair Clubs, their object being to raise
funds to take the members thereof to
the Worlds Fair in 1898. 1t is quite a
clever scheme. The members pay a
certain sum every week, and the money
is held by the treasurer or deposited to
the credit of the club in bank At the
appointed time a manager will be select
ed, who will take the members of the
club to the fair in body. The idea is
not bad one by any means, as it will
enable many to visit the fair who could
not otherwise do so.

The anthracite coal trade shows no
change of Importance further than that
which is indicated by the efforts the
companies are making to curtail coal
mining and keep the output for August
down. The output is now substantially
three millions of tons in excess of the
output to August last year and a very
radical stoppage will be necessary to
create the proper relation between supply
and demand that will relieve the situa-
ton. There is no evidence yet of a
better demand for coal, nor of any
change in the situation, which continues
decidedly in favor of the buyer. As
August advances, however, people will
be coming back to the cities and will
begin ordering coal again for the fall and
winter supplies. and this will start the
demand, which will quicken the market.
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending
August lst, as reported by the several
carrying companies, was S95, 1906 tons,
compared with 726, 715 tons in the CORES
ponding week last year, an increase of
l6S,591 tons. The total amount of an
thracite mined thus far in the year 1891
was q, ,S2S, AL tons, compared with 49,
S94, 400 tons for the same period last wear,
an increase of 1888, ,991 tons.-Ledger.

A young man from Pittston called at
the Registers Office the other day to get
a marriage license. The young lady was
not with him and the Register told him
that he must bring her along or he could
not get license. He went away mutter-
ing something about day being lost.
Next day he appeared accompanied by
his lady love, but as she was under age
he was told that her father must be
present to give his consent. Thoroughly
disgusted at the red tape of the license
system, he turned to his intended and
said: "Say Katie, I've lost two whole
days on this darned license business and
I'll be hanged if I'll lose another. Let's

There is something abhorrent in the
disposition recently manifested in vari-
GUS parts of the United States to settle
labor troubles with powder and ball. 1t
is a fixed American principle that arms
should be resorted to as means of paci-
fication only in the last extremity, but
lately the integrity of the principle has
been seriously assailed. In the last
three months large bodies of miners in
Pennsylvania, in Oregon and Tennessee
have revolted against what they deemed
injustice done them. Their cause they
have not sought to maintain by resort
to the courts, to arbitration or to other
peaceable means. They have armed
themselves and threatened and attempt
ed violence. Instead of seeking to alay
the ferment by peaceful means, the
authorities have opposed violence to
violence. Troops have been called out,
and in one case at least volleys have
been exchanged and life lost. 1t is a
gross reproach to our institutions that
there should be so often seen here what
is common in Europe-the spectacle of
troops arrayed against or in conflict with
their own kindred and brethren, the sons
of toll N. Y. World.

1t is not surprising that the spirit of
revolutionary change, which has long
been predominant among the nations Of
the world, should have passed beyond
politics and made its influence felt in
the cognate field of practical economy
The elements of conflict are unmistak-
able; the growth of industry, and the
surprising discoveries of science; the
changed relations of masters and work
men; the enormous fortunes of individu-
ais, and the poverty of the Masses the
increased self-reiance and the closer
mutual combination of the working
population; and, finally, general moral
deterioration. The momentous serious
ness of the present state of things just
now fills every mind with painful appre-
hension; wise men discuss it; practical
men propose schemes; popular meetings,
legislatures and sovereign princes, ali
are occupied with it-and there is moth
ing which has deeper hold on public
attention.-Pope Leo's EncycIical Letter.
