In your "Golden Era" editorial
some time since, you say, "rhere ia no
longer any question In tho minds OF
the carefully thoughtful, that silver is
doomed to comparative disuse, except
for articles Of utility or ornament"
From this opinion | beg to dissent.
II ia true that the oddities have for
several hundred years tried by every
oljrt, fair and unfair, legally or
illegally, to keep the white metal Ia
the list OF merchantable commodities
ami out o. circulation ~ a measure Of
values, and they are still engaged In
the destructive work, not only In
foreign countries, but here In the
United States as well; that they will
finally succeed In the work so persist.
emily engaged In cannot believe, at
least while retain confidence in the
good sense, honesty, patriotism and
loyalty to the constitution OF the
American people.
Here, under our constitution, gold
and silver are recognized as money,
and from tho beginning have been
treated as such, until 1873, when,
under tho baneful Influence OF dis.

gress passed AN act by which silver
was debased, and became merely

Special Council Meeting.

The borough council met in the coun-
Gil room on Tuesday evening, when Sur
veyor Boyle presented sketch of a sur
vey made on Monday from South street,
to Pine and johnson streets, in connec-
tion with the opening of the latter street.
The sketch follows the old township
road as laid out in May, 1871.
After hearing the report, the council
agreed to plan by which the street can
be made uniform width without remov-
ing any of the buildings, providing the
parties interested can agree, otherwise
the matter will be left to the court to
settle.
Attorney Hayes was authorized to put
in an appearance for the borough in the

What 1t Cost the Men.

The checks in payment of the striking
firemen on the Lehigh Valley system
are now being sent from the headquar-
ters of the brotherhood at Terre Haute,
Indiana. Secretary Arnold estimates
the cost of the strike to the brotherhood
at $685. 900. The strikers receive an al
lowance at the rate of $40 month.
The strike lasted from November IS
to December g. but the men who did not
get work at once when the strike was
declared off were continued on the
brotherhood's pay roll, and this includes
the men who, while not members of the
organization, went out on the strike.
Mr.. Arnold estimates the cost of the
several brotherhoods as follows En-
gineers, $40, 900; trainmen, $35 900; con-
ductors, $40, 900, and telegraphers, $40
900. The total makes the next largest
outlay by organized railway labor to
that of the Chicago Burlington and
Quincy strike, which cost the engineers
100000 and the fremen $500, 900 in
cash.

Arrested the Wrong Man.

Metro Kravitz, of Railroad street, Up
per Lehigh, while on his way to his
bording house from South Heberton on
Sunday night, was waylaid and beaten
by some unknown parties. His eyes
were nearly gouged out and his nose
broke, besides receiving wounds on his
body. On Wednesday he had Andrew
Contrast, an employe of the Central
Railroad at Upper Lehigh arrested,
charging him before Squire Buckley as
being the party who beat him.
At the hearing Contrash proved by
the testimony of witnesses that he did
not know anything about the case. Con-
trash and Kravitz had been together
early in the evening, but Contrash left
for his home in company with the two
others long before Kravitz. After hear
ing the evidence Contrast was discharg-
ed, and Kravitz is looking again for the
man that spoiled his face.

UPPER LEHIGH NOTES.

Our genial and efficient paymaster,
Harry B. Price, is getting slight boom
from some of the newspapers for con.
gressman-at-large on the Democratic
ticket. We know he is well qualified
for the Office and believe he would make
his mark if elected to the same, but a
look at the last election returns convin-
ces us that there are few Republicans
around yet-in fact the "woods are full
of them"
Word has reached here that one of
our former residents, Dennis Gallagher,

The pigeon-shooters of town are trying
to arrange match between two of our
best men, William Brehm and Griffith
Jones. Mr.. Brehm states he will shoot
a match with Mr.. Jones for any amount
of money from $3.50 up. A prompt re-
ply is requested through the TRIBUNE,
