An effort is being made by the Grand
Army of the Republic to have the old
battle flags now in the arsenal at Har.
risburg on exhibition at the national
encampment in Pittsburg in September.
A committee Of the G. A. r. will wait
upon the governor, state treasurer and
auditor general for permission to use
the flags. If these officials give their
consent the flags will be taken to Pitts
burg under guard of detachment of
Grand Army men selected especially for
that purpose.

Man is queer creature. He spends
the best years of his life trying to get
passes on the railways, and when he
gets them they have cost him more
than the railroad fare would have been,
five times over. He spends good deal

more time inventing excuses to keep
away from it. He will raise great row

EDITOR The STAR,
DEAR SIR:-I was gratifed to see
your article last week on Y. M. G. A.
work in misplace. I hope that you may
be able to get the citizens of this place
interested in the yonng men that work
in our mines, many OF whom doubtless
are deprived Of the privilege of good
periodicals and newspapers. The small
amount of money that it would take to
start this work believe would be glad
ly given, by those that have large
interests here, II attention was only
called to the immense advantage it
would be to Reynoldsville. 1t would be
money we'll invested.
l have plan Of work which l should
like to suggest. That we begin the lst
OF September to hold gospel services
every Sunday afternoon in the hall.
Now to do this successfully we shall
have to rely on eight or ten of the
christian young men of our bands to
furnish us the music that will lend the
attraction. Then if we could get Choir
us of twenty young men to lead in the
singing, everything would go off so vig-
orously that men would be attracted
there to hear the gospel. can speak
for one of the pastors that stand ready
to do my part in this work.
This would afford an opportunity for
the christian young men OF our churches
to become better acquainted with the
methods Of christian work, and at the
same time it would unite them in a
bond of christian-fellowship that would
prove blessing to our different church.
es. After this spirit of cooperation
among our churches is thus established,
then we can, by winter unite in some
plan for our much needed reading room.
The expense of this would not be much.
Are there not young men that will vol
unteer their services to the editor of
this paper, and others that will send in
their subscriptions so that we may en-
ter into this work at once?

The Bradford Era says: "As rule a
newspaper is afraid of nothing. 1t is
continually tramping somebody's toes.
The paper prints what it thinks is the
most useful stuff to print, knowing that
some readers will condemn and some ap-
prove. There is nothing so tiresome as
the simple creature who thinks fear is
the inspiring motive. Scarcely day
goes by that somebody is not in the
Office Of every newspaper in the land,
to want to fight, sue for libel, intimi-
date the editor or in some way raise
cain. But they don't often do it. The
newspaper is used to that sort of thing,
and OF all men in the world knows just
how silly 1t is"

An Appeal For AID.
LINDSEY, PA, July 25, 1894.

LINDSEY, PA, July %, 1894.
To The organized Miners of Central Penn
sylrdnid, and Organized Labor in
general:
BROTHERS.; On the evening Of July
9Th four Polanders imported from New
York by the Berwind- White Coal Min
ing Company to take the place of their
old hands, who have been on strike for
living wages since April 2lst, while
passing through the borough of Lindsey
were overtaken by some persons, alleged
to be strikers, and were given severe
beating. II appears that the notorious
Captain Clark, who has command of the
armed police who are guarding black
legs at the Berwind-White mines at
Horatio and Anita, and the company's
officials are endeavoring to make big
thing of the affair, believing it will
eventually be the means Of causing the
miners TO distrust each other and break
ranks and go TO work at their terms.
In order TO carry out their nefarious
schemes they have made raid on the
strikers and caused wholesale arrests to
be made; and IL is said a great many
more will follow in the near future.
The parties arrested are men of excel
lent moral character, and have never
been known to commit any unlawful
acts, and are Jealous members of our or
ganization. They have been forced to
either give bond in the sum OF 81 900 or
languish in Jail until Court convenes on
the first Monday of next September on
the serious charges OF unlawful assem-
blage. riot, assault and battery, and lar
ceny. The lawyers Of the prosecution
are making their boast that each one of
the accused, whom they denounce as
loafers, will be sent TO the Allegheny
penitentiary. The defendants are all
poor men, having exhausted their re-
sources in making this heroic fight for
the compromise scale paid by nearly all
bituminous coal operators in the United
States.
The Miners Central Committee of
this region has decided TO take a hand
in this matter and have retained four
eminent lawyers to defend our brothers
in the courts. And as we havn't any
money on hand to conduct the cases, we
appeal to organized labor everywhere
to assist us in this worthy cause by
donating us such amount of money as
they can afford. We trust you will
respond promptly for, as already stated,
the Court convenes in September, and
your aid may be the means of freeing
innocent fathers and brothers from the
clutches of the law and restoring them
to the bosom Of their families.
Send all contributions to John Weber,

ENoCH HAWLEY, Secretary,
JOHN WEBER, Treasurer.
The above appeal has been presented
to the office of District No. 2. United
Mine Workers OF America, and has re-
ceived its full endorsement. When
members of labor organizations are
being unjustly prosecuted it becomes
the duty of organized labor to come to
their rescue and render such aid as lies
in their power to give.

The next session of congress will

The next session of congress will
be short one, only lasting from
December until March, but it
promises to be a lively one. The
elections will be over and the mem
bers will be freer to act on individ-
ual judgmentand conviction. Tar
iff legislation will be out of the
way and congress will no longer
have an excuse to defer action on
the financial question. 1t is alb
solutely certain that there will be
another fight over free-coinage
measure, and it is going to be a
vigorous engagement. We notice
that most of the Southern congress
men who are candidates for re-elec-
ton promise their constituents
that the silver question shall have
right Of way in the next session.
If the money stringency keeps up,
as it is most apt to do, until De-
cember, there will be an outside
pressure on congress for financial
relief Nor will it be confined to
any one section, although the pres
sure will be strongest from the
South and West. But there has
been rapid growth of silver senti-
ment in New England and in the
Middle states, and it is taking deep
root. Unless the democrats get in
and pass a free-coinage bill before
the close Of the fifty-third congress.
the republicans will have a mon
opoly Of that issue in the next
presidential election, and will carry
all the ilyer-producing states. It
will be a curious transformation to
see the republicans in the field two
years hence as the champions Of
tariff reform and free coinage, but
that is what we are liable to see.
The republicans have a cute way
of profting by democratic mistakes.

Though there may be some dis


Though there may be some dis
content over the reduction Of wages
on the o. r. & N, it is only natu-
raj. Men do not like to work for
less than they consider themselves
worth, which is a world wide trait.
Still, the company has not paid ex-
penses during the past year, Re

A road cannot continue borrowing
forever. AS a temporary measure,

do, but a railway business is,

without money is like q man with
out blood-impossible. Likely,
some of our long haired and longer
tongued anarchists will screech out
something about the grasping
Rothschilds, choking to death the

have peculiar methods for reaching
conclusions without an investiga-
ton into facts. How would some
of them like to see the trains stop
suddenly or run once q week
through lack of funds? That is
a predicament that does not occur

who cares enough about the matter
may learn that the O. R. 4 N. has
not paid expenses for several years.

able railway manager and with
good times and no dictation he will
