is to be feared from competition: if no
foreign coal can reach American mar.
ksts in sufficient quantity. with the
tariff removed, to justify the alarm
that Is felt by mine owners and mine
laborers in Pennsylvania, Virginia.
West Virginia and even in the western
states, why go to the trouble OF chang
ing the tariff on coal. especially when
the Democratic party is pledged to a
revenue tariff instead of no tariff what.
ever2
Our contemporary has so long and
so ably indicted the Wilson bill for its
failure to raise needed revenue that we
feel we have a right to know why, of a
sudden, the Record throws over its
learned shoulder this chance to raise
revenue by continuing an import duty
on coal. 1t admits that during the last
ten months we imported nine hundred
aud twenty-six thousand and ninety
eight tons of soft coal. chiefly Nova
Scotian; and it contends with obvious
justice that the way to raise revenus
is to impose revenue duties; yet hers
we have it arguing, not in favor Of o
revenue duty, but of absolutely no
tariff at all. at TINA when every
penny of revenue is urgently needed to
pay current federal expenses. We are
unable to perceive why our contem-
porary should go out of its way in this
matter of coal. which it contends 10 so
small matter, to mar record Of dis.
tinguiShed consistency in opposi ng the
crudities Of Professor Wilson's tariff.
AS matter of>fact, the Records two
promises are Strikingly inaccurate.
Labor iu Nova Scotia is not 80 highly
paid as is similar labor in Pennsyl-
vania. The ''coolie" miner in Nova
Scotia works for from 50 to $4 week
and thrives we'll on such an income,
because Of his natural ins tinct for cheap
living, of which few Americans would
care to rob him. The great bulk oi
work in Canadian coal mines is per

half breeds. receiving very little more
pay. 1t is Of rare occurrence for 4
skilled Welshman or Scotchman to re-
ceivs adequate pay in these mines; and
the best of such are glad to procure
employment at the superior wages paid
in the United States. As TO the extent
of the co,l measures of Nova Scotia,
it is sufficient to say that there has as
yet been no strong incentive for Ameri-
can capital to institute careful surveys
and systematic methods Of develop
ment. Pass the Wilson bill, demolish
the duty on coal, and it will be pscu-
liar sequel. indeed. If the Whitney
Lamont Cleveland syndicate which
holds options on Nova Scotian coa
properties shall not quickly proceed tc
make their paper holdings redeemable
in good, csisp profits.

CHARITY ATHITs BEST.

A truly benedcent charity has been
undertaken by the Now York Tribune
in its utilization, in this winter of Am
erican discomfort. of the Tribune
fresh air funds we'll developed mechan'
ism for inQulring into deserving casss
Of poverty in the relief of existing dis
tress. The purpose is to supply every
needy person in New York city with
fuel and food Unsuitable quantity; but
not to waste anything on the undeserv-
ing nor to invite vagrancy and idleness.
Whitelaw Reid heads this happilylcon'
ceived winter relief fund with an in
diyidual subscription Of $1,000 and,
with Cornelius Vanderbilt, William E.
Dodge and Morris K, Jesup as co-part'
ners in the good cause, agrees to pay
every cent OF the expenses Of getting
relief to those who really need it.
Thus, as the Tribune announces,
''every dollar given by the public in
aid of this charity will be directly en-
ployed in buying q dollars worth oI
coal, a dollars worth of food or in some
way bringing dollars worth of relief
for a person or family whose actual
suffering condition has been previously
ascertaine1 by trained men" The plan
has been carefully and thoughtfully
formulated and is so obviously com
mendable as to put us at loss for suit
able adjectives of compliment May
its cash returns from the generously
inclined be speedy and liberal.

LOOKING BACKWARD.

From the NeiU York Sun.
IA comparison between the position
of the Democratic party in December.
1892, and its position now is not pleas
ant. In December, 1892. the party was
united, flushed with hope, awaiting
eagerly the moment when it should as
sumo the power to which it has been
called by the people. In December,
1893, after less than nine months of
power, it has little but disappointmsnts
and failure to dwell upon.
From the moment that then re-
cent candidate for the Republican
nomination for president was made
secretary Of state and an obscure
Cracker was made secretary of the in
terror, the record has been unsatisfac
tory and weakening to the Democracy.
Hoke Smith has made the pensioners
and the other old soldiers hot. Bissel,
in pursuance of orders, has angered
the politicians, and Gresham, under
the dictdtion Of his chief. has pursued
the policy Of infamy. The president,
in the MacVeagh appointment, has,
Willingly or unwittingly, made him
self offensive to many citizens of Irish
descent. The Van Allen appointment
has staggered even the little coteris Of
Mr.. Clsveland's professional sdulators.
"The silver fight has left unhsaled
wounds, and the tariff fight will make
others. The flag under which the
Democracy gained the victory has been
torn down, just as the American flag
was torn down by Mr.. Blount and Mr..
Cleveland. Having thrown away its
principles, whatlremains for the D.moc.
racy save to quarrel over the spoils Of
protection, and to hang its head in
shame when twittsd by the Rspubli-
cans for infamy abroad and its own
treachery at homef"

THE WHOLE NUMBER Of Democratic
consuls appointed from Indiana ls

Two DAYS only before the opening Of
the Republican convention Mt Harris
burg it looks as if the probabilities of
Galusha A, Grow making the nomina
tion for congressman-at-large are fair.
His chances appear brighter now. as
he has the endorsement of Chris.
Msgee, and the Philadelphia delegation
thus far gives no sign of concentrating
on anyone else. 1t is an open contest
thus far and 1t is to be hoped in spite
of the fling of the Philadelphia Inquirer
concerning the old man "buckling on
his overshoes" for the fray that the
veteran congressman may receive the
nomination, Despite his seventy years
he gives evidence Of energy which de-
serves to win, thus completely nuIlify-
ing the Inquirer's sneer as to sen.
ility. Mr.. Grow has friends among
the adherents of Harrison on account
of his support OF the ex-president ut
Minneapolis. and thus far Mr.. Quay
has not exhibited any opposition.

AuMSNILLE.


We didn't write last week. We were
too full Of election news. We have
been good, have not made fun Of a
Populist or Democrat, have not even
looked at them and smiled. We have
deep sorrow and sympathy for them,
they were beaten so "hugishlyn and so
e;ernally, that it would be a shame to
say anything to make them feel worse
then they do.
Two boys were arrested last week for
disturbing the meeting of the Christian
Endeavor. Some think that the arrest
was wrong as the meetings have
always been conducted in free and
easy manner, and it was hard to draw
line as to where the disturbance came
in, but the boys as advised by the
judge, pleaded guilty, who immedi-
ately fined them SIS each, thereby pun
ishing the fathers instead of the boys.
Willie Gilbert IS an enterprising man.
For several days last week lie gave a
fine exhibition on the streets for the
benefit of the children.
Our school is progressing grandly,
over 100 scholars in regular attendance.
Rev. Lon Speer, our young preacher,
"held the fort" for one hour at the
Christian church Sunday night, sub
ject: "The Lord VIII Come Like
Thief in the Night" The house was
well filed with eager listeners and all
were pleased and surprised that boy
only I6 years old could do so well.
Several people are walking around
with chips upon their shoulders. They
would be greatly surprised if they
should be brushed off some day. You
had better take them of yourselves.
Mr. Gibbs, the Aumsvlle nursery
man, has crew of men digging up
trees and planting out pits for another
crop OF trees next year.
Everybody is smiling about the fine
weather but dare not speak out aloud
for fear Of a change.

Bitter Experiences Of Family While

A family consisting of man, wife and

while crossing the Cascade mountain,
last week, had a sad experience. Just
beyond the lava on the Mckenzie road,
their team, having been turned lo0se

direction. The next morning the man,
taking his wife aud child along, fol-
lowed them. The snow being at that
time from twelve to eighteen inches
deep, the wife gave out toward even.
ing, and halt was made over night.
Next morning the man went on, leav.
ing is wife and child. 1t was not un-
til the next day that he returned with
assistance. They found the wife and
child nearer dead than alive from hun
ger and cold, both feet Of the lady
being frozen and the child's limbs
frozen to the knee. They were brought
on to this side and cared for by persons
living at Sisters.
