Can newspaper please every
body? 1t cannot. Ought every
body be pleased No. Why not
Well, if a newspaper pleased every
body, and everybody were pleased;
time spent here on earth would be
so fearfully monotonous that the
people would not care how soon the
old globe on which we repose went
to pieces. A newspaper must rattle
the dry bones, be boy cotted, tell
the truth, expose falsehood, lay bare
hypocrisy, fraud and the like. and
then trust to the second thought of
all fair minded people.

Silver Discovered IN Lycorr1ing county.

Linden, Lycoming county, is all
astir and gossips are wild with de-
lignt in this vicinity concerning the
silver mine said to have been dis
covered within a mile and q half of
this village. The land on which the
silver ore was found is the Charles
Metzger tract. Metzger is travel
ing salesman for Philadelphia
house and has owned this land for a
number of years. There were
whisperings Of a erich findn on the
track, but not until recently did Mr..
Metzger give the subject any atten-
tion. Some time ago he had u
quantity of the ore assayed, and he
was assured that the silver could be
mined in paying quantities. -Es.

Patiison is i'm the Field.

The discussion of Governor Patti
sons Presidential and Of the Demo-
cratic situation generally in the
State, in a Harrisburg dispatch
printed to-day, will be interesting,
not only in Pennsylvania, but else
where, The facts given are fully
sustained by information from the
best sources, and their presentation
at this time only offers to the public
what is daily discussed by leading
and well-informed Democrats in
private.
Whatever anybody else may
think, Governor Pattison is un-
doubtedly his own candidate for
President, and is very much in
earnest about it. He has organized
his present Administration for a
very different purpose from that
which inspired him when he held
the Office before. The way in which
the lines have been thrown out has
made it impossible to conceal the
ambition to which the patronage
and influence must be made to bend.
The active and influential Demo-
cfats-those who coutrol something
in the machinery of the party-are
being enlisted without regard to
their former personal predictions.
In forcing this issue, the Cover
nor will not only ruff1e things some,
but he will make it very trying for a
good many Democrats in the State
who are naturally for Cleveland. If
the ex-President remains anything
like factor in the field, it is not
difficult to see that we shall very
soon have distinct division of the
party in Pennsylvania into Cleve-
land Democrats and Pattison Demo-
Gratis, in which event, should 1t be
possible eur Cleveland to again sue
ceed, he will find the circle of his
obligations greatly narrowed.
Should Cleveland lose ground as
rapidly in the next few months as
he has in the last two, the Cover
nor won't find it very difficult to
get the Pennsylvania delegation.
It is apparent that the Demo-
cratic victories of last November are
not going to prove an advantage to
Mr.. Cleveland. It threw to the sur
face number of Democrats who
can fairly claim the support of their
respective States in the National
Convention, and the present attitude
of the Democrats of the West and
South toward the ex-President on
the silver question makes it easier
for the States to present their favor
ite sons. This will break up what
six months ago promised to be 4
nearly solid Cleveland convention
and encourage combinations which
may make the nomination. of Cleve-
land impossible. For the first time
since the election of 1884 the Demo-
Gratis feel that they have more than
one man who might be able to run
for President.
Meantime, it can be taken for
granted that Governor Pattison will
neglect no clap-trap effects which
may seem designed to serve his
scheme. He has made no obtrusive
declarations on the tariff and silver
questions, and he is not likely to
make any as long as it shall seem
wise to keep still. But the interest
ing fact that the Pennsylvania
Democrats must soon choose part
hsrs for the Presidential dance is
forcing itself forward.

PlTTsBURG, March 30.-Henrv
Clay Frick president of the H. G..
Frick Coke Company which controls
nearly two thirds of the ovens in
the Connellsville region, said to-day,
discussing the riots:
"Such of our works for which we
have orders for coke will be operated
on the terms stated in our posted
notice, if operated at all, end it is
just as we'll our old employees should
understand that we mean what we
say. Fair minded people, and those
familiar with the coke business. and
the business situation generally, will
all say that the wages offered by us
are liberal.
"Up to this time we have made no
fight against labor organizations in
the coke regions, but it is not likely
that we are going to remain quiet
and see our property destroyed at
their instigation, and then go into
conference and treat with them.
.The so-called leaders in the coke
region are only urging a continuance
of this strike in order to retain their
positions as leaders. Harmony be.
tween operators and the men means
no further use tor tnem-their posi-
tions would be gone. There must
be friction or they would have moth
ing to do.--Press.

IMPORTANT DECISION F..
Enaorsers Mus. BE Advised Of Protest at
Oacc.

R,cuNoyp, VA, April 30.-ln the
VIRGINIA Court of Appeals last Thurs
dav, Judge Lewis rendered an i'm
nortant and interesting opinion, bearing
an tbc notice to be given an endorser
when a note is protested. The case in
noint was Corbin against the Planters
National Bank of Richmond, from the
Cornoration Court at Daryille.
Corbin was one of the endorsers Oh a
note drawn for $4,000 in Danvlllc and
made payable in New York. The 'nstru-
ment was not paid at maturity and was
consequently protested. Suit was instl-
tuted against the drawer and endorsers OF
tbe instrument and subsequently, against
Corbin alone, judgment being rendered
~ favor of the bank. He carried tho
case to the Supreme Court.
His Plea Was that he was not notihco
promptly when the note was protested
and that .he simple certificate of New
York notary, stating that the note hac
heen dishonored was not evidence III var
ginia.
both of these points, holding that tl'
endorser of II note should be notified o
IFS protest not later than on The meet sac
ceeding business day. The Court below

BlrNIxGnAM, Ala, April 30.-lhc iron

doing right now in the placing of new or
dcrs. and furnaces arc running mostly on
contracts already made. Thus, i'll spite OF
The luil, stocks are not accommodating, a
condition that will come to pass, however,
unless injuries increase. Furnace men
do not anticipate any such break in the
market as will interfere with continued
profitable operation. On the contrary.
thay expect TO see a rally before long, and
AL ihc furnaces are running Oh full time
with everything in shape for heavy pro-
duction during the summer.
Production will he increased during the
summer by the blowing III of several fur
naccs now idle and by the completion OF
two more at Bcsscmer which have been
LONG time under construction. The recent
meeting of the Sheffield stockholders re-
suited in some changes in management
,hat will cause a vigorous effort to ope-
rate the three large furnaces thar have
been idle there so long. There are some
indications of renewed activity i'll the
Admission, or brown orc district, but they
are slight.
Nothing is talked of in this section OF
Alabama now but steel making. Dir. J.
Z. Hillman has returned from New York
where he made proposition to the Ten
nessec Coal, Iron and Railroad Company
for the erection of 81 900. 900 plant near
their four Ensley furnaces. The Direc'
tors fell in with the scheme, and while
some details remain to he perfected, Mir
H!lmau, very cautious man, announce;
it will go through all right and the stce
mill will be built. The only effort t.
make steel in this District was by tho
Henderson Company, which constructed
two 30-ton furnaces. The experiment
failed from want Of money, and on &C
count of the smalness of the plant thu
furnaces are idle. Renewed attempts arr
being made to procure more capital ant
start them up again.
Some apprehensions are beginning It
he felt here as to results when the Goa
mining scale comes to be arranged ii
July next One contention by the opera
tors during the recent strike was that tn
scales in existence were contracts I'll
july, and there are indications that tn
miners will call for an increase when tn
scales are renewed.
