OUR ESTEEMED friend, the Wilkes
Barre News-Dealer, argues with much
zest In support of the proposition that
1t Is impossible "to make huge tem-
perance society out of the Catholic
church;n but we trust that 1t is mis-
taken. Surely temperance Is one OF
the corner stones Of the Christian reli-
gion, be the denomination whatever it
may be; and a church which should
decline TO advocate temperance, but
would, instead, go in for intemperance,
would be, as we view it, far removed
from real Christianity, whose very es-
sence Is moderation and seemliness in
all the affairs of life. 1t is possible
that we mistake our contemporaries
intended meaning. Unless We are
greatly deceived, the Catholic church,
to its credit be 1t said, is in fact just
what the News-Dealer denies, "a huge
temperance society" whose influence
with reference to the abuses growing
out Of intemperance is constantly be-
coming greater.

The Best Labor Is the Cheapest.
1t Is a circumstance of much more
than ordinary significance that the coke
operators Of the COuuellsville region
have decided at last to abandon the
experiment Of imported negro labor at
their ovens and in their mines. The
information that this experiment has
failed is by no means unexpected. 1t
was bound not to be success for the
same reasons which determined its
failure in this locality, during the con-
Struction work on the new Panther
Creek railroad. The imported south
ern negro was frequently vicious and
incorrigible When not this he was
so shiftless that even the cheap wage
at which his labor was hired failed to
make him an economical Investment;
and the coke operators, in sheer self
defense, have been forced to turn ap-
pealingly 10 Il higher grade Of help.
This is not the first nor the worst
failure charged up on the books Of
public opinion against the soft coal and
coke operators of Pennsylvania. Few
persons are nowadays SO tiercely beset
by political necessities rs to feel COM
PEELED to refrain from condemning the
importation, into the bituminous re-
gion, of the squalid and illiterate Ia.
Dor contracted for among the unfortu-
mates of central Europe. Originally
merely dumb, this labor became
through repeated disappoinlments and
privations, vicious au1 vengeful; and
there is today scarcely any difference
between employees and employers in
its vicinity that it does not take advan-
tage Of to enter upon career Of vio-
lence and often bloodshed. That it has
cost to its importers twice over as
much as was saved in its cheaper scale
of wages is fact which few dispute;
nor is this fact less certain when as
serted of those anthracite mining COM
munities in which an equally intract-
able quality Of labor has been en-
ployed in & greater or less degree. The
corroborative fact in our own commun-
ity that the intelligent miner, whether
Of Welsh, Irish, Scotch, German or
English ancestry, is today at a dis
tinct premium as compared with the
Slovak, the Lithuanian, the unlettered
Italian and the lower grade Pole, is in
structive in its significance.
Whether we look over into Western
Pennsylvania or seek for evidence in
ourOwn home community, it is equally
distinct that the labor in any branch
Of industry which is permanently
economical is the labor that knows its
business and will attend to it, whether
its wages be high or low. In an age
of shifting industrial conditions even
the best of workingmen are liable at
times to be thrown suddenly out of
employment, or offered wages mani
testify incommensuratc with their
worth and skill. The prudent laborcr,
however, will take the best pay that
he can honestly get, and trust to his
merits to bring him better pay in the
long run. He will realize that busi-
ness fluctuations come to even the
wealthiest of men; and that, in COM
ing to him also they do not single him
out for special persecution, but instead
obey universal trade law, which no
individual and no class can perman-
entity dodge or defy.

We make no secret OF our opinion as to
the controversy, boyoyer We regard the
sennte bin M an Infinitely wiser aud more
provident measure thnn the house bill.
In the first place 1t provides an ample pub
lie revenue, Next, 1t does not threaten
with immediate extinction those great
American Industries which the house bill
seems to have been intended to destroy.
Finally, 1t can become u law II left to the
unbiased action of the Democrats In con-

with absolute confidence that the senate
bill, II submitted to the test OF party
vote under tho Australian ballot system
today, would receive an overwhelming
majority In both houses. We do not ques-
ton tho sincerity Of the house couferees
or the leaders with whom they aro acting.
We declare simply our profound convic-
tion that the Democratic Representatives
approve the senate bill just AS 1t stands

IT is DOUBTLESS true that the Cor

IT TOOK the committee on reBolu-
tions at the Georgia Democratic con-
vention ten hours to agree on a silver
plank; and when finally it reached a
conclusion it was a most amazing one.
The plank demanded the immediate
passage Of such legislation as will re-
store silver to its constitutional posi-
ton as money metal and will secure
at once the free and unlimited coinage
of gold and silver on parity and give
to every dollar in circulation, whether
coin or paper, the same debt-paying
or purchasing power" When the
Georgia Democracy discovers such leg-
islation as Will "secure at once the free
and unlimited coinage Of gold and sill
yer on parity" at the same time that
that 1t makes all dollars equal, 1t will
confer favor Oh an anxious world bv
immediately making its discovery
public. We shall then prepare for per-
petual motion, the real elixir of life,
squared circles and the harmless con-
flict of Irresistible bodies humping into
immovable ones. Let the band play.

Special to the INDIANAPOLIS Journal

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, April 20.-Ex-Land Com
missioner Stockslager arrived here to-day,
having been hastily summoned by the i'll
ness OF his son. Mr.. Stockslager feels ab-
solutely certain of his nomination. lie
needs only four votes, and is confident that
he will obtain them. He feels confident of
carrying jefferson county, but even in the
event of his defeat in that county, he ex-
poets to get at least four delegates in Jen-
nings. He pays no attention to the stories
that the fight between Jason Brown and
himself has become so bitter that ii may
be found advisable 10 drop them both and
nominate a new man. He thinks no COM
promise Is possible. The only compromise
candidate mentioned so far, Mr.. over
meyer, OF Jennings county, will not accept
the nomination, says Mr.. StockslaCer Mr.
Stockslager expresses himself with remark
able franknesS about his opponent Mr..
Brown. He says Jason presumed too much
on his popularity, and that the people had
become tired of him. a clever politician,
in Mr.. Stockslager's estimation, would have
retired peacefully from a race where he
saw he could not win. Mr. Stocksager's
comments on Mr.. Brown have not added
to his popularity among the Indiana men,
berS, who are now more recOnciled than
ever over the prospect of seeing the Third
district go Republican. Much Uneasine
is felt over Mr.. Browns condition, who is
said TO he seriously i'll at his home in Seq
mour with a cancer.
