Ground for Another Church.

Coke Bros. & Co. donated on Tuesday
plot of ground near the Greek Catholic
Church to the Welsh Baptist Congrega-
ton, to be used as site for church.
The congregation is not in condition to
build at present, but as the necessary
land is now secured it is expected that
the members will use every endeavor to
erect suitable edifice. Freeland may
well be proud of its record as church
building town, as it stands far in advance
of any community of its size in the state
Every leading denomination is now re-
presented with the exception of the
Presbyterians, who worship at Upper

A very dangerous pastime is being
indulged in by large number of small
boys from town during the past few
weeks. Beyond the old Woodside slope
are lot of mine holes which are filled
with water and at all times are very
deep and dangerous. To these holes the
boys have made habit of going to
su uim, and, unless it is stopped promptly,
some of them may get drowned, for
many of them are too young to see the
danger that surrounds them while
engaged in practices of this kind.

On Sunday the team was pretty well
broken up after its Waterloo at Scranton,
but as it was the real club that played
the people expected to see better work
than was done on the two preceding
days. In this they were badly disap-

the poorest and most lifeless exhibition
of ball playing yet seen at the park.
Wilkes-Barre put up spirited game and
deserved to win from the manner they
played. Welch threw well, but received
miserable support in the diamond.

inability to hit Mcdonald, and Satur-

A Bureau OF Labor and Industrial
interests.

House bill 1888, introduced by Mr..
B gelow of Brookfeld, to provide
bureau of labor and industrial interests,
is intended to supply a very pressing
need, particularly among the farmers.
Briefly stated, the provisions of the bill
are as follows;
The governor is required to appoint
commissioner for two years ending Novem-
Der 90 1894, at which time all the provisions
of the act cease The duty of the commis-
sioner is largely discretionary. He is re-
quired to initiate some measures to sup
ply reliable laborers, male and female of
American or foreign birth, for the indus
trial and domestic interests of the state.
For every male laborer the commissioner
supplies a firm or individual the bene-
fcary is to pay the commissioner for the
state $40, for every female 50, for one
year or longer, or proportionate sum for
less than one year. Listers are required to
furnish the commissioner information asked
for, and that official is required to make
detailed report of the work of his bureau,
with statement of receipts and expend-
lures. The sum of 81 ,OO0is appropriated, in
addition to expenses, and commissioner may
use all or part, in his discretion. He is al
lowed actual expenses in discharge of his
duties, and five dollars a day for time &C
tually spent. He may employ clerk at
not exceeding three dollars day, but the
total sum paid commissioner for services
rendered shall not exceed 81, 400 for the two
years of his office, and 81 900 for the clerk
If this bill is made law and its pur-
pose realized, it will, in no conventional
sense, "fill long-felt want" The
great drawback in the farming industry
is the scarcity of laborers, for house as
we'll as field work. If the state can
step in and help the farmers in this
matter, it seems to us it will be wise
and judicious exercise of the functions
of government. The bill is drawn with
reference to making the commission
self-sustaining-in part not entirely
and it contains a provision for sum-
marily ending its existence at the end
of two years. In respect to the bureau
as state institution, the state will then
stand where it does at the present time.
The legislature can re.create the bureau
If its services are beneficial and its
administration approved. Under Coy
ernor Fuller's watchful eye and prac-
tical judgment, the appointee to the
bureau ought to render certain employ
ers of labor very valuable service.

and interesting. 1t certainly is not
good or rational business management
to build fish hatcheries and expend
money in maintaining them and in dis
tributing young fish about the state,
and at the same time suffer any class
or classes of persons using the waters
of the streams to render those waters
absolutely unfit for fish habitation.
The two things are entirely antagonis-
tic. Harmony must prevail or fish cul-
ture end in practical failure. Thus the
attempt by law to keep sawdust out of
the streams is right and reasonable.
Trout have no affinity with sawdust
If it is absolutely necessary for mill
men to dump sawdust into the brooks
and rivers, the trout must go and the
hatcheries also. Many people believe
this fish question all asde-that there
is no need of dumping the sawdust
of any mill into the water that it
is an act of uuthrift and shiftless-
ness - an act of barbarism; that
the dust can at trifling-if any-cost be
saved and sold at price that will pay
for the trouble of saving. In any event,
it is believed this refuse can be kept
out of the streams with no appreciate
expense, and certainly without Gripping
the lumber industry. And what is true
of saw-mills and sawdust in this matter
of fish production is ten times true of
every tannery, or any similar structure,
which empties its death-dealing water
poluting refuse into the streams. Treat
them all impartially. The legislature
will have need of great practical wis
dom in bringing into harmonious rela.
tons the conflicting interests of the
fish and its antagonistic industries.
But reconciliation should be wooed
and won--and enforced.

Sawdust and Mill Streams.

Mr.. EditOr:-I see that house bill No. 60
provides to prohibit the putting of sawdust
into mill streams. This is not the first time
legislators have been called to decide on
measures of this character nor does it APP
pear what new demand calls for repeated
action on a measure which seems to be a
violation of the established rights of the
people, that governments are constituted
for the common benefit, protection and Sc
curity of the people, and not for the particu-
lar advantage of any single man or set of
men, who are a part only of such a COM
munity. The manufacture of lumber is
one of the oldest industries of the state has
grown with its growth, and contributed
to its general welfare and prosperity,
Many of the lumber mills of to-day are a
continuation of those erected scores of years
since, though ownerships have repeatedly
changed without reservation. To prohibit
now the putting of sawdust into mill
streams would, in some instances, prohibit
the business in all, and necessitate large
expenditure which would be a continuous
incumbrance on such mills, to be borne by
their owners. Such a measure would not
be in harmony with the law passed by a
recent legislature offering premiums to en-
courage more manufacturing in the state.
Now, any measure which has for its object
to cripple or curtail such enterprises must
emanate from some selfish or sectional in
terest, and not for the greatest good of the
greatest number. The bill by its provisions
would prohibit sawdust. Why not include
all manufactures, and even drains and
sewers which empty:itheir waste and garb-
age into the streams and rivers? II is not
believed good judgment will make innova-
tions on such old and longcontinued GUS
toms and privileges, especially the one that
contributes so much to the general welfare
of the state. SUBSCRIBER.

Creatures of the State.

In his argument upon the weekly
payment bill, before the general COM
mittee, the member from ST. Johnsbury
maintained that the corporations are
creatures of the state, and the legisla-
ture may, therefore, lay upon them re-
quirements it might not impose upon
individuals or private partnerships en-
ploying help.
There are corporations that are Gre
ated to serve the people-that are pub
lie servants. Railways, telegraph and
express companies-all common car
riers-aqueduct companies and others
of a similar nature, belong to this class.
They hold their rights and privileges
under special enactment of the legisla-
ture. In a just and reasonable sense,
they are creatures of the state. There
are, on the other hand, industrial cor
porations engaged in making scales,
organs, saw-mills, saddlery hardware,
doing printing, quarrying or manufac-
VI VI ObSoSCu III
a great variety of other occupations.
These are, in no just sense, public cor
porations or public servants. They dc
not assume, and they are not charged
with, public duty or obligation of any
kind. Their relation to the public is
precisely :the same as that of private
individuals or partnerships. Doing
business under laws of the state relating
to corporations, the theorists may hold
that they are creatures of the state,
but the practical man of affairs sees ant
understands that in no just sense is 6
man or association of men cutting
granite or engaged in any other indus
trial pursuit, under law of the stat,
authorizing him or them so to do bust
ness, a creature of the state, an,
more than is his neighbor who is en-
gagged in the same line of bushes
under other laws of the state. Bot
are amenable to law, and both ar
creatures of the state -; and to la
upon one obligations, or to impose pen
