From the Hazleton Standard.
The only illustration of practical
temperance which has come to our
notice for some time is demonstrated in
the case of Patrick Furey, who was sent
to the Kelley Institute at Harrisburg by
the T. A. B. Societies of the North Side.
Many theories have been advanced by
temperance advocates, but only in this
instance have we noticed the theory put
into practice.
1t is an example for other Temperance
organizations to follow; it is one that will
prove of lasting effect; it is one that will
do more good to those who have become
victims of that evil habit, intoxication,
and one that will prove lasting monu-
ment to the society that has taken the
work in hand.
Would it not be wise move of the
temperance organizations to take some
steps towards having a Kelley cure
located somewhere in this region?

Another Opportunity Gone.

The international Boiler Works, of
East Stroudsburg, are seriously consider

coal regions. They have not sufficient
room where they are now, and in order
to fill the large amount of orders now on
hand for boilers of large capicity, a
change will have to be ade.-Sr0uds-

Here is another opportunity that will
pass Freeland because our people have
not an organization whose duty it would
be to lay before manufacturers the ad-
vantages to be derived by locating here.
This company wants more room. Free
land has thousands of idle acres on
every side of it. They want to move to
the coal regions. Freeland is in the
heart of the great Lehigh coal belt.
With its unexcelled railroad facilities,
cheap fuel, water in abundance, electric
light, low taxes, churches of every de-

were only properly told of them and
asked to come. Organize a board OF

Dishonest Apportionment.

From the Wilkes Barre Leader
The people of Luzerne county should
rebuke the Quay-Cameron machine, this
fall, at the polls, and it should be done
so emphatically that these bosses will
remember it for all future time, Section
10, article 2, of our state constitution pro-
vides that "the state shall be divided
into fifty senatorial districts of compact
and contiguous territory, as nearly equal
in population as may be, and each dis
trict shall be entitled to elect one sena-
tor"
How has the Republican party obeyed
that solemn and plain mandate of the
constitution? Let us see.
Luzerne county having a population
of POI ,2O3, according to the census of
1890, is represented by one senator, but
little Republican Lebanon county with a
population of only 4S,13l, is made a
separate senatorial district and elects one
senator.
Crawford county, because its ringsters
bow to the crack of Quay's whip, with a
population of 65,324, is separate sena-
torial district.
Chester county, with a population of
S9,377, constitutes separate senatorial
district.
Delaware county, with a population of
74,6S3, is a separate senatorial district.
But the crowning example of unfair,
partisan and fraudulent apportionment
is reached by the representation given
Lancaster county in the state senate.
The county of Lancaster has popula-
ton of 149, ,095 or 80, los less than Lu-
zerne county, and yet, because of its
subserviency to the Republican machine,
it has two senatorial districts and elects
two senators.
Luzerne and Lackawanna counties
combined have population QS90) of
34S, POI, which is more than seven times
the population of Lebanon. If the citi-
zens of the respective counties are to be
considered equal and entitled to equal
representation Vi IneIelo as nearly as
may be-" Luzerne and Lackawanna to-
gether should have seven times as many
senators at Harrisburg as Lebanon has,
But of course that would never suit Boss
Quay and his spoilsmen.

There are many abuses existing in
this state which be remedied only by
the election of a Democratic legisla-
ture. The unjust apportionment of
senatorial districts gives the Republi-
cans control of that body, but it is
possible to wrench that from them in
a few years, and the way to begin is
to elect the Democratic candidates
for the lower house this year. The
semi-monthly pay-law is defective, the
company store act is worthless, an en-
ployers' liability bill should be on the
statute books and a dozen other re-
forms are needed by the working
classes of the state. Until the Demo
Gratis get control of the legislature
there is but little hope that any of
them will come. In the fourth dis
