SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE.

EDITOR TRIBUNE.-At a meeting of
the Freeland Sons of Rest on the Sth

the people know how strong in member
ship we now are. We have nineteen
members, excluding the officers, which
makes twenty-six in all. The latest
news we hear is that two of our men,
bers, one beneficial and another who
we expected to never work, have start
ed to work. Both are fined So, to be
paid within thirty days. AT the last
meeting the resignation of our president
was accepted with the regrets of many
OF the members for failing to serve out
the term. For president, to fill the
vacancy, 7. j. B. was elected unani-
mously. He took the chair amid the
cheering of the members. Adjourned

Thought the Bank Had Busted.

From the Newsdealer.
A depositor from the country who was
not aware that the Wilkes-Barre banks
closed at noon on Saturday, tried to get
up scare on Market street last Satur-
day. When he attempted to enter he
found the door locked. He peered
through the glass door and saw the
cashier and clerks busily at work. He
ratified the door again but there was no
response. Then he yelled "Let me in."
But the bank officials wouldn't do it.
Then he gave the door a kick. He
swore once or twice and then went down
street, He stopped every passer-by and
told them that the gosh darned bank up
the street was busted and had closed
its doors.
AT first some people got badly scared
and turned their footsteps hurriedly in
the direction of the bank. But when
they came to think over the matter (pro-
yiding they had not already been told of
iD they realized the true situation of
affairs and went on without ever looking
at the bank. The countryman would
not believe what the people told him.
He hung around until A o'clock and then
hitched up and drove home.

The receivers of the Reading Company
have recalled William A. Scheers, the
representative of that corporation, who
has been in Europe trying to introduce
anthracite coal into that country. Mr..
Scheers left for Europe several months
ago to try to boom the anthracite trade
with the foreign countries. He took
several stoves and large amount of coal.
Wherever he went the coal was well
liked, but as the stoves in Europe were
not built to burn anthracite coal it was
hard to get the people to take it up. In
view of this the receivers deemed it ad-
visable to recall him, as they thought
they were not warranted at this time in
keeping up this expense.
In some parts of Wales hard coal is
found, but the supply is limited. In
some of the cities of England, especially
London, number of stoves are being
changed so as to adopt them for the use
of anthracite coal. When this is done,
the receivers think, it will be time to
introduce their coal. The foreigners are
willing to use it, provided it can be put
at such figure as to compare favorably
with the home product.

1t is now claimed that careful poll of
the house, made this week, shows ma
jority of 80 in favor of the repeal of the
purchasing clause of the Sherman law.
The senate is more doubtful, and it is
more difficult to ascertain how senators
whose positions are not clearly defined
will vote, but strong efforts are now
being made to bring the Democratic
senators together, and the indications
point to success. A caucus of Demo-
cratic senators this week appointed a
committee of five to consider and report
a plan with that end in view. The Re-
publicans, Internationally, of course,
added largely to the probability of united
Democratic action in the senate by their
attempts to make political capital, which
were promptly and properly rebuked by
Senator German, out of the present finan-
nancial situation.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Washington, d. c., Aug. IL.
President Cleveland's message has
been as closely studied as any similar
document ever was by members of con-
gress and it is evident that it is going to
be powerful factor in the financial
legislation of the session. 1t apparently
opposes the ideas of manyiDemocrats in
both house and senate, just as his cele-
brated tariff message of 1887 did, but
honest and conscientious belief is con-
spicuous in every sentence of it. And
the opposition of what are known as
silver Democrats is more apparent than
real, for they all agree with the presi-
dents recommendations for the repeal
of the silver purchasing clause of the
Sherman law, only differing as to what
shall be substituted. The message re-
commends the repeal and leaves the
question of substitute to the wisdom
OF congress, and nine-tenths of the
Democrats are certain that the recon-
mendation as to the repeal will be fol-
lowed, and that other financial legisla-
ton, which will be equally satisfactory
to the silver Democrats and to President
Cleveland, will be agreed upon by the
Democrats in both house and senate and
that the persistent efforts of the Repub-
licans to split the Democratic party on
the silver question will fail.

Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1893-08-14

The bitterest pill in the presidents
message for the Republicans to swallow
was the plain statement that he expect
ed congress to obey the will of the peo-
pie and proceed to reform the iniquit-
GUS tariff as soon as the finances have
been looked after. Because the trouble
brought upon the country by Republi-
can financial legislation have so con-
spicuously forced themselves upon pub
lie attention of late, Republicans have
allowed themselves to believe that the
Mckinley law was to be undisturbed by
this congress. They know better now,
and the knowledge doesn't please them
by any means. S.

The senate committee ON finance, of
which Senator Vorhees is chairman,
held its first meeting yesterday. The
committee did not lack for business,
either, as more than score of finance
bills which have been introduced in the
senate have been referred to that COM
mittee. A majority of this committee are
bimetalists, but some of the most prom
inent of them, including the chairman
have declared their belief in the vicious
ness Of the Sherman law and their will
ingness to vote for its unconditional re-
peal. The senate is naturally deliberate
in all its actions, so it will not be surpris-
ing if the house takes up the silver ques-
ton before this committe reports a bill
to the senate. The resolution of Sena-
tor Lodge, of Force bill fame, directing
the committee to report bill for the
repeal of the Sherman law and provid-
that vote should be taken thereupon
on the 22d' of this month was only bit
of Republican buncombe, and the adop-
ton of the resolution would have sur
prised no one more than its author.

their request, to "even up" whatever

While there were several decisions

the audience. both ways, the home team
got the worst Of it in majority of them.
But the decision on which the game
hung and which is in dispute, was in
the latter half of the ninth inning. Riley
came to bat and went out at first on
throw from pitcher. Meade got his base
on balls, Foster running for him. Foster
stole second and went to third on
passed ball. Beck struck out Daniel
got his base on balls, Beck running for
him. Boyd hit slow, high bounding
ball toward second which Fultz had to
jump for, but got safely and threw to
first, Boyd having the best of it by about
two feet, Beck going to second on the hit
and Foster scoring. The crowd accepted
the game as won. Hats went into the
