why Should Hines BE Ronominated?


The delegates to the Democratic con-
vention which meets at Wilkes Barre on
Tuesday will, if they are Democrats
who have the interest of the party at
heart, find themselves confronted with
a problem that requires prompt and
manly settlement on their part. The
denomination of Congressman Hines
means that the party will have to go
before the voters of Luzerne county
handicapped as they have never been
before, and partial or total defeat for
the county ticket will be the result.
There is no demand from any quarter
that he be placed on the ticket, and
not one of his supporters have given a
reason of any kind as to why the con-
vention should renominate him
Those who are now leading the party
in Luzerne county are ostensibly in
favor of Hines for congress again, but
it is questionable whether they will do
anything to further his election. They
have memories, and their memories do
not allow them to forget past campaigns
1t is to their interest that Hines is re-
tired from politics in Luzerne county,
but the methods they are taking to re-
tire him and make this a Republican
district are not creditable to leaders and
should not be sanctioned by the con-
vention.
Hines record in congress and out is a
disgrace to the party that elected him
two years ago. To again place him on
the ticket would be to endorse his no.
torious actions, actions which every man
in Luzerne county who takes an interest
in politics knows already. If the con-
vention accedes to the wishes of the
leaders in renOminating him, so as to
give them an opportunity to defeat him
at the polls, the delegates will not be
doing their duty AS Democrats. Such a
course is cowardly, inconsistent with
Democratic fearlessness and ought not
receive the support of the men who will
be elected on Saturday to represent the
Democratic voters of the county.
This is a Democratic district and should
be represented by a Democrat. The
TRIBUNE is prepared to give its unquali-
fled support to any candidate the con-
vention may name, provided he can
show clean record for the past, stands
squarely upon the platform of the party
and promises to act in harmony with
the Democratic leaders in congress. The
county has hundred deserving Demo-
Gratis, any one of which can be elected
if nominated, and the convention must
nominate on Tuesday man who has
the confidence and respect of bis party
or risk the defeat of the ticket.
The nomination of Hines would be an
insult to every inhabitant of this county,
and the TRIBUNE will resent such an in
suit with all the ability it can command.
This is also the position of a great many
voters in this locality, and we now
await the work to be done by the con-
vention on Tuesday.

In 1892 the fatal accidents to miners
in the coal mines of this county were
l to every 37S persons employed, and
the non-fatal accidents l to every 153
persons employed In1S92 one man
was killed to every 800 persons en-
ployed on railroads and one man iniur-
ed for every 28 persons employed.
Among train hands the death amounts
to l of every 115 persons employed,
and l in every 10 injured. According
to these figures, mining is much safer
than railroading.

Gently concluded, the premier prizc
was won by NJ. Ii. Bonzon, fac
similic of whose score Is here produced.
This gentleman is considered to be the
peer OF all the pistol shots In Paris.
When l tell you, says q contributor
to the New York Herald, that his re-
marlable performance WIS accom-
plished at distance of sixteen meters
(ffty-two and half fect), and that the
bulls eye was but one and one-eighth
inches in diameter, You can better ap-
preeiate NJ. Bonzon's deadly aim For
the first time in the history Of this fa-
nous gallery-the oldest In Europe
the use of revolvers was permitted, and
it VI be a source of pride to Americans
to know that NJ Don2on used q re-
volver of American make. 1t carried n
44-calibcr ball
M. Bonzon fired six shots Mt the tar
get. Not only did each strike the bull's-
eye, but each took off portion of the
carton, the small white disk In the
center, which is only three-cighths Of
an inch In diameter For this wonder
full bit of mnrksmanship NJ. Donzon
wns awarded the grand medal of honor,
a prize greatly coveted but seldom
won. Tho second prize at this tourna-
ment was won by NJ. Molinio-Pagct,
who scored forty-cight points by send
ing six out of seven bullets square into
the bulls eye. Several competitors
scored forty-seven points

From the Mauch Chunk Democrat.
Certificates of nomination and nomin-
alton papers of legislative candidates are
being filed in the Office of the secretary
of the commonwealth for various districts
of the state. In nearly every case these
papers are liable to be declared invalid
onaccount of mistake in the designation
of office. 1t should be representative
in the general assembly," but with few
exceptions the office ~is designated
"member of the legislature" or "for the
assembly,"

The ''tired feeling" the headaches
and the nervous strain of which so
many people complain are often home
bred maladies, according to one of
our exchanges. Our living rooms and
sleeping rooms are kept too close.
We are poisoned with our own exhala-
tions Throw open the doors and
let in the revivifying and purifying
air of heaven! Better the drafts, the
flies, the mosquitoes even, than the un-
ventilated rooms kept sacred from the
visitation of the winds that carry new
new life where they wander. The
hunters and the trappers on duty, ac-
customed to live and sleep in the open
air, complain of suffocation when they
are obliged to sleep in houses under
roofs. The open air gives the full
chest and strong lungs. Until one
shall go to his grave it will be well to
insist upon light and airy apartments.
After that, it will be small matter.

United States senator's now rep.
resent no one but themselves and the
interests of the monopolists and CAPT
talists, who 50 freely contribute to their
election and the success of both politi.
cal party machines. The passage of
the resolution by the house of rep
resentatives to elect senators by
a vote of the people reflects the popu-
lar desire. There is no confidence in
the present senators, and this feeling
is being accentuated daily. With the
exception of a few men in that body,
the people believe they are legislating
for their own personal benefit This
belief is founded on good reasons.
When the constitution is SO amended
that senators will have to go before
people and make an open canvas for
their positions, instead of trusting to
their wirepulling qualities in the leg
islatures, some confidence will be re-
stored in the men who fill the most
honorable Legislative positions in the
world.

From the Wilkes Barre Leader.
For prothonotary there is no certainty
as to who the nominee will be, although
it is generally conceded that the nom.
inee for the Office shall be a German
from Hazleton. The nationality and
location of congressman, judge and dis.
trict attorney seem to make this neces.
sary. There is a strong sentiment in
favor of Mr.. Wiegand's denomination
for this office and his home being al
Hazleton and his nationality German il
is strong argument in his behalf
Then, too, the able manner in which he
has handled the office, his congenialty
and popularity is another strong reason
in his behalf; and as has been stated by
several during the past week it isn't
believed that j. c. Wiegand has an
enemy in the county, and that under
the circumstances, if he be the nominee,
he will carry the fourth district by 900
majority and cut heavily into the vote
of the Republican nominee at the latter S
own home in West Pittston.
Mr.. Wiegand hasn't announced him.
self as a candidate for denomination,
neither has he stated that he wouldn't
accept the nomination. There have
been stories published to the effect that
he was not a candidate, but these state
ment were not authorized by Mr.. Vie.
gand. 1t is true that Mr.. Wiegand is
willing to step out of the way if the
party deems it best that he should. In
other words he has no desire to force
himself on the ticket.

THE TARIFF BILL READY.
An Effort to Be Made TO Report It to
the Senate To-day.

Washington, Feb 25.-It is the inten-
tion OF the democratic members of the
Senate finance committee to make an Of
fort to report the tariff bill to the Senate
tomorrow, unless the republicans offer
some tremendous objections. Following
this il is expected that Senator Voorh ees
will give notice that he will call up the
till on the following Monday and ask that
it be kept before the Senate until dis
posed Of
1t is part OF the programme that the
bill shall be taken up every morning i'm
mediately after the morning business and
kept before the Senate to the exclusion OF
everything else. IL is intimatec that If
there is any disposition to prolong the de-
bate, then a move will be made for extra
hours and longer sessions.
FEW MORE CHANGES.
The democratic subcommittee will
consider the bill for a short time to-mor-
rev morning before the full committee
meets. The pill, which was sent to the
printer last night, will be changed in
some particulars before it is finally sub
mitted. AS it stands now there are
three propositions which have not
been wholly agreed to, and what
ever is done will necessitate alterations
But as showing how near complete the
bill is, one member Of the subcommittee
said tonight that he saw no reason why
IL should not be reported tomorrow, that
the full committee would not change a
single thing, even to the dotting Of an
or the crossing Of /. He thought that
no prepared report would be made on the
bill by the committee, the bill itself
standing for a report.
The democrats viii offer TO allow the
republicans week in which TO submit
their views, either in the form Of a bill,
or report. 10 Is not believed that the re-
publicans will consent TO a report upon
the bill tomorrow. and this may inter
fere with the democratic programme and
delay the reporting Of the bill.
