COST OF COFFEE.

The Boston Transcript has given
an exhaustive description of coffee
raising in Brazil. 1t has gone into
the minutest details of the plant
ing, aye and productiveness of
trees, the gathering, spreading,
sweating, shucking and transport
ing over the mountains to the sea.
port, and the wages of all the la
bOrers.
According to the transcripts
statement, the labor cost of pro-
ducing pound of coffee laid down
in New York is less than cents.
The importers pay about II cents
for it, but is all that labor gets
for producing it in New York.
The difference between 4 cents
and what you pay for the bean is
what it costs you for being "gov-
erned"--it is the tribute on your
earnings fastened on you by nom
producers. 1t is the price paid for
the universal ignorance of the non
producers of wealth. Under pro-
per restriction and just social re-
lations, coffee should be had any
where in the United States for 6
cents pound, and without cutting
the price of labor anywhere. What
is true Of coffee is true of many
other articles of consumption. The
price an article sells for bears
little or no relation to the amount
paid for it's production. Finally,
labor is the great consumer and is
robbed at every turn.

HOkE SMITHS ORDER.

The newspapers are just now
filled with criticism of the recent
order of Sec. of Interior, Hoke
Smiths order suspending the pay
ment of about one hundred thous-
and pensions heretofore granted
under the law of 1890.
While we doubt the wisdom of
the order in a general way, it
seems to us that the order is in
strict accordance with the law and
perhaps in accordance with the
equity of the whole pension sys-
tenn.
Pensions granted under the laws
in existence prior to 1890 are all
based on disabilities incurred in
the active service and while in the
line of duty, and are presumably
rated in accordance with the ex-
tent of such disability.
The law of 1890 is unique in this
particular in that it directed the
granting of pensions for disabilities
other than those incurred in the
active service.
The law stood alone.
Nothing like it had ever been
placed Oh the book of laws before
it was enacted. 1t had special
rating of its own of not less than
six nor more than twelve ;dollars
per month, thus in it's scope un-
dertaking to cover every grade of
disability from the least to total.
The order of the Secretary goes
to such cases as are rated under
this law at the highest degree of
disability and have been receiving
twelve dollars per month, while
the record of their cases discloses
that they are only partially dis
abled.
In plain English the rule puts
those pensioners who are suffering
by reason of disabilities occurring
since the end of the war on a level
with those who are pensioned for
the wounds received in battle, or
the results of the exposure and
hardship of camp life.

TIE immediate result of the a.
doption of the Walker tariff of 1916
was Il healthful expansion of our
foreign commerce. In that year
it amounted TO 1927, 100000; by 1860
it had reached 1857, 100000, an in
crease of over 800 per cent in four
teen years. In 1916 our tonnage
was 943,3O7; in 1860 it was $685.
306 tons. The increased foreign
export from our country was in
wheat, hogs and other farm pro-
ducts; the increased tonnage was
caused by the increased freighting

The Supreme Court of Ohio last

The Supreme Court of Ohio last
week rendered a decision in the
case of George Schuch, of Wooster,
US the State of Ohio, to which
Court he had appealed his case
from decision of the Wayne Co.
Common Pleas Court. Mr.. Schuch
had been indicted, found guilty
and sentenced to pay a fine of S25
and costs and be imprisoned one
day in Jail for keeping his saloon
open and selling Intoxicating
liquors on election day after six
o'clock in the evening and after
the polls were closed. The legal
question involved in the case was
whether any election day under
the statute, section G94s, meant
during the time the polls were
opened, to-wit, from o'clock a. m.
to 6 O'Clock p. m. or whether cleo
'tion day meant the twenty-four
hours from midnight until ~
o'clock p. m. of election day. The
defendant Schuch claimed, by his
counsel, McClue & Smyer and
Smith, that election day terminal
ed at 6 o'clock p. IN. and that there
fore Mr.. Schuch had a right to open
his saloon after that hour, while
the State claimed, through A. d.
Metz, Prosecuting Attorney, that
election day consisted of "a hours
and that it was as much a viola.
tion of the law to open saloons be-
fore six o'clock il the morning and
after six O'clock in the evening as
it was during the time the polls
were open. On this issue Judge
Dowell charged the jury as claim
ed by the State that election day
meant the "a hours. The case was
appealed to the Supreme Court
on error, by Mr.. Schuch, where the
case was fully argued by counsel
above named. The Supreme Court
sustained the decision of the Court
of Common Pleas, and made the
law for all time that any election
day in Ohio means the "a hours of
the day, and that no saloon can be
open or Intoxicating liquors
sold during the whole of said day
Sentence to be carried into eXecu.

THAT PENSION ORDER.

The following from Washington
explains iself: "The pension bur-
eau has notified great many PEN
sioners throughout the entire
country who are Neutrality-suspicious.
under the act Of June 81, 1890,
known as the dependent pension
act, that the payment of their pen
sions will be suspended for 60 days
during which time they are re-
quired to show cause why they
should continue to draw pensions.
The testimony necessary to pre-
vent their being dropped from the
rolls is the certificate of a reput-
able physician, attested by two
witnesses, to the effect that
the pensioner is precluded from
active labor, owing to injuries or
disabilities not the result of his own
vicious habits. In case no attention
is paid to the department noti-
fication within 60 days the per-
sioner will be dropped from the
rolls. On the other hand, should
the necessary certificates, properly
drawn up and signed, be forward
ed to the pension bureau, the PEN
sioner will be requested to appear
before the local board Of examiners
for examination AZ to his condition.

THE STATE CONVENTION.

There will be no change in the
date for the Democratic State Con-
vention as was supposed when the
President called Congress to meet
the same week. 1t will be held in
Cincinnati, August 9th and 10th.
The Ohio Democrats consider
themselves and their convention
fully as important as the Congress
of the United States, and will go
ahead with the nomination of
ticket and the construction of
platform. This platform, by the
way, will probably be in the ma
ture of instruction to Congress, tell
ing it what to do on the silver
question and everything else.
The citizens of Cincinnati, with
out regard to party, are arranging
to give magnificent reception to
all delegates and visitors, and the
week promises to be full of inter-
est and entertainment to every
body. The visiting newspaper
men will be royalty entertained by
a committee appointed for that
purpose. James w. Faulkner, the
well-known Enquirer correspond
ent, is chairman, and Mr.. Frank B.
Gessner is secretary of the Press
Committee. Both are we'll known
throughout the State, and will do
all in their power to give the visit
ing correspondents a royal well
come.
Cincinnati has not had a Demo.
cratic State Convention since 1876.
That convention was a notable one
presided over by Geo. II. Pendle.
ton. The chief work was the Sc
lection of delegates to the National
Convention at st. Louis. One fac
ton of the party desired the nomi-
nation of VIM. Allen for President
and another favored Allen G. Thur
man. The convention finally en-
dorsed Allen, although the major
ity of delegates were at heart Thur
man supporters. The delegates at
large were George w. Morgan,
Gen. Thomas Ewing, Col. w. l..
O'Brien and Senator Pendleton.
VIM. Bell, of Newark, was nomi-
nee for Secretary of State. There
was not much of State ticket
that year, the only interest of the
convention being the selection of
delegates at large.
The fact that the candidate for
Governor and the General State
Ticket is to be nominated at Gin
cinnati next month will make the
coming convention of far more
general interest than that of 1876.
No ono can deny that Cincinnati
is the best place in Ohio for con-
vention, not alone because of her
Music Hall, but on account of the
good treatment and hospitality
which she bestows upon all visitors.

Now Systems Needed.

'G'he movement on the part of the
house of representatives looking to the
investigation of the business methods of
the executive departments" said a gov
ernment official the other evening, 'is
move in the right direction. If the COM
mission proposed were wholly outside Of
the house of representatives it would be
better, for two years is entirely too short
a time, when the necessary legitimate
duties of member of congress are CON
sidered, to look into this matter thor
Oughly and in which to formulate
remedy. The business of the United
States is perhaps the most clumsily and
extensively managed of any other bust
ness in the world. This is mainly be-
cause it is growth and because it is be-
ing shifted to new and irresponsible
shoulders every now and then. Obso-
lete and complicated systems of book
keeping that were perhaps all right fifty
years ago are retained, though the coun-
try has doubled and the country's busi-
ness tripled. 1t has invariably been the
policy of government bureaus to mag
Nifty their own business and of every
petty chief to increase his own duties.
This tendency runs all through the de-
partmental service and the result has
been to make Chinese puzzle of the en-
tire service.
1.-THE whole thing should be looked into
in thorough manner and new system
devised. 1t should be sinplifed, and
the rules of modern business life applied
to governmental affairs. Why, don't
you know nobody knows how the treas
ury department stands? No two financial
experts can understand the treasury sys-
tenn of bookkeeping. The monthly debt
statement defies even the professional
statisticians, and as for the method Of
transacting any kind of government
business, it is so ridiculously complicated
that the only thing that can be said for
it is that it furnishes proportionately to
desired results more places for salaried
officials than any other system ever de-
vised. The whole thing needs revision,
but is this to be accomplished in two
yearsT-New York Herald.

Trouble over an Oyster Stew.

Fred Dougherty, who gave Wilkes
Barre as his residence, came to town
yesterday, and during the afternoon
called at DePierro Bros. cafe for an oys-
ter stew. After his order was served
the proprietors of the cafe state that he
picked out and ate the oysters, then
gathered all the vinegar, catchup, salt,
pepper, etc., that he cuuld find around
the tables. He mixed up the whole
business in his bowl, but as it was not
very palatial dish he demanded another
stew.
He was intoxicated at the time, and
not wishing to have anything further to
do with him Frank DePierro offered to
return him the price of the stew. This
would not satisfy him; he wanted salts
faction or a stew. He was then elected
from the cafe.
Upon reaching the street Dougherty
began raising disturbance in his efforts
to gain admttance to the restaurant, and
Burgess Gallagher and Officer McLaugh-
lin found it necessary to take him to the
cooler, where he remained until clock,
when he was given hearing.
As the man was intoxicated when the
trouble began DePierro Bros. did not
wish to make any charges against him
for the threats, so he was fined only
$3.50 for violating the borough ordin-
ances. Dougherty was formerly a resi-
dent of this place, but he says it is six
years since he was here, during which
time he has travelled considerable
through the West. He stated that he
would give Freeland wide berth for
the future

Fifty-one saloon keepers in this county
have come to the conclusion that they
will go out of the liquor business or try
their hand at selling without license.
This is all that can be inferred from
the number of applications filed this
year, which is 99l; S94 for retailers, 80
wholesalers, Al bottlers and brewers
The total number of applications last
year was 1912.
In Foster township Peter Timony, of
the Points, is the only applicant for a
bottler's license. In Freeland there are
six applicants for bottler's license; John
Dusheck, 2S Main street; Patrick Dough-
erty, 27 walnut street; Fred Horlacher,
Ridge street; Michael Kleitz; East Main
street, and Czarro Lucca, Washington
street.
The applicants for wholesale license
in Foster are Chas. Moerschbacher, 81

cants, Patrick Burke, 40 Walnut street,

A Cruel Mother.

One of the most heartless cases of
cruelty to children came to us from
West Hazleton yesterday, says the Stun
ddrd. 1t is that of widow who has
two children, one of whom is years,
and the other 6 years of age. The oldest
of these children is boy, and is suffer
ing from running sore, the result of a
break last summer. During the cold
spell of last week, this heartless mother
went out, locking the children in the
house with nothing to eat, and no fire.
Several of the neighbors becoming
alarmed entered the house and found
the little ones huddled in a corner, al
most frozen. They picked them up and
removed them to their homes where
they were made comfortable and given
something to eat.
The next morning when the mother
made her appearance, she was at once
arrested, charged with cruelty to chill
dren. She was given hearing before
Squire Jones. The prosecutors desired
to have the children removed to the
Laurytown almshouse and the mother
prosecuted to the full extent of the law,
but the squire claimed he had no iuris-
diction in the matter and the case was
settled by the woman paying the costs,
and guaranteeing to take better care of
her offspring in the future.
