The men or set of men who
will undertake to deceive and |
blindfold the citizens of the |
present day by political trick
cry will find that in most cases
they have been caught in the
act long before the ''job" was
half completed. The people
can't be hoodwinked with such
perfect ease and effrontery
now as they were in the past,
for things, politically, are not
the same as they were several
years ago. Then, right or
wrong, the dominant party
was usually successful, but now
the majority party is just as
apt to suffer defeat as the
minority, and it is owing to
this that the bosses, or assum-
ed bosses, cannot count upon
anything in absolute safety,
because their orders are sim
ply scotfed at by the voters in
general.
In this district, the fourth,
there is probably more free
dom of opinion exercised by
its citizens when casting their
ballots than in any other dis
trict in the state. A mans
record and reputation for hon
esty or dishonesty, deceit or
hypocrisy, is vital point and
one that is always given the
utmost attention by the voters,
and it is this independence
that knocks all the calcula-
tions of the bosses petty trick
cry silly. | must admit, how
ever, that the bosses still give
evidence of activity in the
county on both sides, but it
seems to prevail to a greater
extent among the Democrats,
as was shown by convention
held at Hazleton a week ago
last Saturday.

Debs and Other Officers of the Organi.
zation Found Guilty By Judge
Woods.
A SENTENCE OF SIX MONTHS
Passed on Debs---0thers Got Half as
Long---Apparently Thought They
Were Fortunate.

CHICAGO, Dec. l0.--"Guilty as
charged was the fiuding announced
by Federal Judge William A. Woods
against President Eugene v. Debs of
the American Railway union. The
same finding was reached against the
other American Railway union leaders
ON trial with Debs
The cramped courtroom was crowded
to overfiowing when Judge Woods first
entered the courtroom and took his
seat upon the bench. President Debs
and the other defendants We're present
and in various attitudes OF anxious in
terest listened to the reading of the de-
cision. With Judge Woods, Judge
Jenkins occupied the bench and many
prominent attorneys were present to
hear the outcome Of the proceedings
against the leaders of the great railway
strike of last summer.
The finding of the court is that the
defendants are guilty of contempt but
that any punishment instigated would
not be cumulative. In other words
there were two cases before the court,
one for contempt and the other for vio-
lation of the federal statute. The lat
ter cause il merged into the former.
After announcing that the defendants
were found guilty as charged the Judge
said it was not in accordance with pro-
ceedurs in such cases to permit the de-
PENDANTS TO say why sentence should
not be passed. but in this case the court
would allow it.
Attorney Darrow, representing the
defendants, asked that his clients
might retire for consultation regard
ing what they should say, and after q
brief recess the strike leaders filed back
into court, ranging themselves before
the bench. Attorney Darrow, speaking
for them, said that they had 10 wish
TO make separate speeches, but felt that
they had done no wrong. The attor-
ney advised the court that Director Nc
Vean, one OF the defendants, was out
of the city during the strike. A lengthy
argument between attorneys followed
over the proposition to discriminate in
McVean's favor, which the court ter
minated by suspending sentence ON
McVean.
Not Particularly Crushed.
The defendants did not appear par
ticularly crushed by the punishment.
Debs bowed. his tall gaunt form and
whispered few words to his sister,
who sat near, and they both laughed
heartily. Howard and Hogan ex-
changed something and Keliher grasped
his attorneys hand and appeared to Of
fer congratulations It was evident
that all had expected much more severe
sentences and all wore q look Of relief.
Debs drew his people together and in-
structed them to say nothing for publi-
cation, setting them an example by
refusing to discuss the case at all.

the measure says that the proposed di-

teachers in the various institutions,

they secured the full measure OF enjoy

local Association. The general decora-

parade in the morning, and the great
outpouring OF people at the Fair
Grounds in the afternoon, were the
prime factors in making it a red let
ter day.
The parade took place on schedule
time, and was very imposing one.
Several hundred local butchers were in
line, and the visitors were provided
with carriages. In the afternoon, the
population of the city turned out en-
masse, and thronged the Fair Grounds.
The programme Of attractions was
varied aud interesting, and held the
crowd until long after dusk.

matter for the greatest regret
that most OF the miners refuse to &C
cept the compromise scale Of wages
signed by their national officers at
Columbus.
From almost everywhere comes the
word that the miners have voted to con-
tlnue the strike. In this section those
who have not formally decided the ques-
tion are known to be opposed TO the com
promise and in favor Of continuing the
strike.
Such action, whet her warranted by
the compromise offered or not, will
greatly injure the miners and their
cause by driving away many sympa-
thizers who believe it would be
better to accept anV compromise
offered by the operators than to con-
time the present distressing state of
affairs. Thus the responsibility for
the continuance of the strike will be
pladed directly upon the shoulders Of
she men.
The news Of the non-agreement by
she strikers is emphasized by the report
Of further outrages in Ohio yesterday,
