The Result Was Satisfactory.

From the Wilkes Barre Record.
Railroaders and others have been
surprised during the week to see the
large D. S. & S, engines, four of which
have been taken by the Valley, at the
depot and vicinity. They are monster
locomotives and very powerful. On
Thursday one of the engines was coupled
to passenger train to see if better time
could be made up the mountain than
with the Valley engines. The rusult
was satisfactory.

Fro II Saward's Coal Trade Journal.
The anthracite coal trade during the
past week has shown perhaps a slight
change for the better, in that there has
been greater demand for certain sizes
of this coal from former soft-coal users,
which demand has taken up the broken
as well as the small steam sizes. This
has been particularly noticeable along
the line between the mines and tide
water and even at Philadelphia, which
is so large seat Of manufactures.
The domestic sizes do not move off with
any particular degree of activity, except
perhaps to the New England ports, and
they are taken there because of the
very favorable prices which are being
made.
In order to meet the enlarged demand
some increase of the output for the
month of May has been agreed upon,
and the collieries will be run on a basis
of 60 per cent. Of their capacity. 1t is
to be feared that the storms of the re-
cent week Will keep down the tonnage
during this current week to certain
extent.
Already there is some discussion as to
the advisability of making an advance
in the price list to date from the 1st of
June; it is the opinion of certain of the
conservative members of the trade that
it is exercising a wise discretion to make
an advance for both the interior and
tidewater tonnage.

Suing the County for &3OO.

menced action against the county for a
bill of $500, which the publisher, Theo.
Hart, alleges was contracted by the
county by contract signed with him for
the publication of the annual statement
of the county auditors in the Gazette.
The commissioners refused payment of
the bill because the controller disap-
proved the bill because the contract for
publication was not reduced to writing
and filed Immediately with the control
Ter, because it was uot made with the
lowest bidder, after publication for bids
had been made, and because their GER
tifying it would be contrary to an act of
the Legislature, as the expense was
greater than the law allows.
There are six other papers whose bills
for like amounts were disapproyed and
this test case will settle all.

Mr.. Gladstone has written a letter
to an Italian newspaper in which he
says that the difficulty in the way of
the settlement of the Irish question
now is that the Irish parliamentary
party is not united. That is non
sense. The Irish parliamentary party
was united and stood by him in the
last great vote he took in the house
of commons. 1t voted solidly with
him for home rule and sent the bill to
the lords, who threw it out with
scorn. And what did Mr.. Gladstone
do then? Appeal to the country? No;
he resigned and made lord his sue
cessor as the premier of England.
The plea was that his physical eye
sight was bad. His mental obliquity
was infinitely worse. He ran away
from great issue. He betrayed the
Irish cause That will be the YER
dict of history.-N. y. Recorder.

Both Of the Democratic papers at
the county seat declare that Luzerne
county is Democratic by q large
majority if the proper candidates are
nominated by the party. Upon that
point there IS no question, as the
voters have demonstrated their pre-
ference for Democratic principles so
often that it should be unnecessary to
reiterate it. The party machinery,
however, for the past few years has
been in the hands of men who have
not and never will have the confidence
of the rank and file, and until new
leaders are substituted or the Demo
cratic voters loose some of their in
dependence, the result of coming
elections will be very uncertain
There are very few candidates an
nounced this year, as compared with
previous campaigns, but there are
enough in the field The work of
electin8 the nominees is going to be
an uphill job, for the voters will not
be particularly enthusiastic for the
top-heavy ticket that has been slated.
The denomination of Hines alone will
be sufficient to kill the chances of
every Democrat who may aspire to
office in Luzerne county, for who will
have the audacity to apologize for his
actions since he was sent to Wash
ington?

From the Wilkcs-Barrc Telephone.
In previous articles ! have given
figures to show that the coal companies
under the prevailing method of dockage
usually deduct from three to seven per
cent. of the coal produced by the miners
each year. In 1887 for instance, the
dockage robbery in all the collieries Of
the first, second and third anthracite
districts, which includes the territory
between Shickshinny and Carbondale,
the miners lost through dockage alone
1904, ,2l34 tons of coal. This coal, or the
bulk Of it at least, was sold by the COM
panies at fraction over 50 per ton, or a
total aggregate of S2,0l6, ,40O.72, being an
average steal Of about $l6O from each
miner employed during the year.
1t surely cannot be called anything
else than bare-faced robbery and extor-
ton for the coal companies to charge
S2.75 for a keg containing twenty five
pounds of powder which costs them
wholesale only 81, or $l.25 per keg, and
at the same time refuse thier miners the
privilege of buying powder from other
dealers or from the manufacturers. In
ordinary mining from ten to twelve kegs
of powder is consumed by two mer
working two breasts every day in the
month, if they fire from six to sever
blasts each day. Thus it can readily be
seen that on powder alone each miner is
robbed Of from $6 to $40 per month,
which goes to swell the other exorbitant

Senator Walsh, of Georgia, was natur-
ally very much surprised when he
learned that the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers regarded his bill against
any stoppage or interference of trains
carrying mails as being aimed against
them, after telling the senate that as a
journeyman printer his sympathies
were and always had been with the la
boring men of this country, of whom he
was proud to be one, he introduced an
amended bill, which he thinks cannot be
possibly misconstrued by anybody. The
title of the bill is "To Protect the
United States Mails" and it provides
that any person who shall rob or attempt
to rob or maiciously obstruct or retard
for the purpose of robbery the passage
Of any railroad train on which the mails
are carried shall be punished by i'm
prisonment at hard labor not less than
one nor more than twenty years. s.

1890, has furnished the record of suit
begun against the various firms compos.
ing the sugar trust, which was dismissed
in the United States court for the eastern
district of Pennsylvania, with costs
against the government, appealed to the
circuit court, which affirmed the action
of the district court, and which is now
before the United States supreme court
on appeal. Mr.. Olney does not say so,
but it is inferred from his communica-
ton and the accompanying documents
that he considers the uch-talked about
Sherman antitrust law worthless one.

An Exciting Event.

The steer-tging and broncho riding contest at the fair ground this after noon between Doc Goodin of Phoenix and Ed Drew of Wilcox h the Sulphur Springs valley will be an exciting event. Both are expert cowboys and each is more at home in the saddle than afoot. Drew is sad to have record of having tied steer in 38 seconds. Every body hereabouts knows what Doc Goordin can do. His defeat of Stewart of Flag staff few months ago in similar con- test proved his pluck and skill to all who were present. The winner of the struggle today captures purse of $500.

IT GOES THROUGH.
The Mass Meeting Delegates
 Ratified.
Democratic Indignation and Threats Of Leaving the Managers to
 Hold an Empty Bag.

The little sugar coated pill admins tered by Dr. Thomas Smith and his assistant Dr. Homer McNeill to the Democrats of Phoenix, got so far down that the party couldn't cough it up yes- terday. There was much insertion of fingers into throats and divers arti- fcial and intellectual attempts to assist the nausea, produced by the little pill, to eject 1t.
 But it's in the Democratic stomach to stey until a facilitating purging has been effected.
 In other words the Gazette's mass meeting delegation was ratified yester- day in the various wards or as much of it was ratified as the managers wanted ratified. The delegation is not just what the ring want but in this world much that is wanted can't be obtained and in this case the admixture of the good and bad is of such constituency that for the purposes of the ring it is quite the same as if it were all bad.
 The so-called primaries or ratification meetings were held yeste day afternoon.
 First ward voters met Tn a doorway in the Gardiner block. Joseph L. B.. Alexander, who was not present at the mass meeting, decided to amend the delegation by striking out B. Heyman, who was believed to be not en rapport with the ring and was likely to make trouble. MT. Heyman was overwhelm- ingly busted and Frank Meador was substituted. The rest of the mass al tne oL ! ranging from 60 to 75. The first ward delegation is made up as follows Aaron Goldberg, Frank Alkire, J. A. R. Irvine, Harry Parker, E. w. Thayer, Gus Hirschfeld, D. H. Burtis, Frank Meador, E. PesqGiera.
 There was no contest in the Second ward. The following five mass meet ing delegates were ratified: John H. Burger, Frank Fuqua, Leo Goldman, H. H. McNeill, H. l.. Chandler. Each received Is votes. One voter, dazed by too frequent excursions to a neighbor- ing saloon, was present at the count On the announcement of the result he exclaimed excitedly, By G-dl All five tied. No 'leckshun."
 Forty-eight votes were cast at the Third ward meeting. which was held in Justice Kincaid's Wall street office. Beside the regular delegates who were elected, E. M. Doris, John Beck, M. E. Hurley, 2. B. Ming, J. M. Shott, Wm. E. Johnson, B. F. Zoeckler and Hans Herlick. votes were also cast for R. Stuart and James Burson.
 Thirty voters of the Fourth ward met at the city hall and ratified the regular delegation made up of A. E. Cobb, c. F. Leonard, Frank Cox. Gus Clark, J. c. Kellum, D. P. Conroy and W. T. Smith.
 So far the plan of the ring has wrought out charmingly, but canvass of yesterday's vote shows that only IT votes, less than half the Democratic strength of the city, were cast. The other, it is said, studiously avoided the primaries in order that they may not be bound by the deliberations of the convention.
 SaId one Democrat: "TThe thing SO far has been managed in the interest of rascals. So may the Republican cam paign be, but Pm so strong and so par tisan a Democrat that I intend to vote for the Republican rascals and thereby discourage rascality in my own party" :"

Net Too Ear Our.

Many people are of the belief that the Simms addition is too far out for a convenient residence. When the town grows as it inevitably will, those who have spent time and money in improv- ing their homes in the city proper as at present con stituted, will wish they had gone little farther out and gotten be- vond the dust and traffic of the city. Then the Simms addition which is but half mile out North Center street will be considered just the most desirable distance from town.

Coarse and Monotonous.
 "Virtue may be it's own reward" re- marks Mir. L. J. Wood who ct the same time believes if it were not so virtue would sometimes go unrewarded. MT. Wood is probably directed into this train of thought by his experience of one hour yesterday as deputy recorder in and for the city of Phoenix.
 At the solicitation of a large number of Republicans who had observed that the gentlemen engaged in the business of rustling names for the city registra- tion lists were all Democrats, Mr. Wood, who is an enthusiastic Repub- lican, was appointed to help swell the list. He went about it the same as if he were going about the insurance business. He went after safe and responsible risks, and the result of one hours active service was list of ten dyed-in-thewool Republicans, more Republicans than had been seen about
