troduced a bill in the house at Harris
burg last week, providing for levying a
tax annually upon every alien in the

tention to become a citizen. The annual
tax shall be SO for aliens who have re-
sided in the country for three months and

New County Affairs,

AT hearing on Tuesday before the
senate committee, which has charge of
the new county bill, the opponents of
the measure from Schuylliill county
withdrew all opposition. The county
commissioners, Senator Coyle and others
acknowledged that in the face of
such strong demands and evidence as
was presented, that the new county
should not be fnrther opposed by them.
This is considered quite a victory.
At meeting held under the auspices
of the Wilkes Barre board of trade on
Tuesday evening resolutions against the
new county were adopted. A letter was
also read from E. A. Oberrender, secre-
tary of Hon, f. b. Coke, in which it is
stated that Mr.. Coke has not changed
his opinion in regard to the new county
scheme, which he considers unwise.

At the Opera House.

Kitty Rhodes and her company played
before a good audience on Monday even
ing. On Tuesday evening the house
contained more people and last evening
the audience was still larger. This
shows that her plays and the players are
of the kind that suit Freeland's opera
goers, and it must be said of them they
have given better satisfaction than any
company that appeared here this season.
Miss Rhoades, in the leading role each
evening, deserves the highest praise for
her painstaking and correct portrayal
of the diversified characters she assumes.
and her company is so evenly balanced
that individual mention is unnecessary.
1t is sufficient to say that each member
is thorough actor The two little chill
dren, Maud and Jessie, are drawing no
small portion of the crowds with their
pleasing songs and dances.

EDITOR TRIBUNE.-Will you please
insert in the columns of your paper
what | think of the Republican conven-
tion last evening. As citizen of Free
land | think it was a two-sided affair,
namely, in nominations. If the Repub-
licans are to be run in that way | think
iB would be better for the citizens who
are not in the ring to stay at home. As
candidate for assessor | was spoken of
as man not qualified for the Office
But let the man who said so understand
that if the defeated could not build a
house he can pretty well tell the value
as well as the one nominated. suppose
he thinks there are no brains behind the
drill.
In the nominations for school director
did you ever know such two-sided
affair? One, an official of the township.
had the audacity to speak of his election
as being sure if the party would stand
to him. Mark, self praise is not re-
commendation

Tuesday in February is to come and
that will tell the truth. No more dirty
work. A CITIZEN.

Ruried by Beetles.

A resident of Nyack, N. Y, con.
tributes this bit of natural history to a
contemporary: 81 was crossing field
when my attention was attracted by a
snake rolling over and over. The snake
was about three feet long and appeared
to be propelled by some power 1 couldn't
see. I knew it was dead from the way
it novel. and on looking closer saw
that two big beetles were supplying the
motive power. They were behind the
snake, and by burrowing under it at
either end acted as rollers to send the
snake ahead. I saw them move it over
ten feet. I spent most of the day In
watching. They propelled it twenty
feet farther and then stopped. One OF
them went away and soon came back
with at least 100 more beetles. The
little army set to work and actually dug
hole in the ground about five inches in
diameter and half foot deep. 1t took
them half day to do this, and just
about dark they appeared to be satisfied
with their task and the whole army set
about dumping his snakeship into the
hole, which they did by coiling up his
body so that it fitted into the space
nicely. Then they covered it up and
disappeared in the thicket. H-%. Loul

ALCOHOLISM IN AUSTRALIA.

There is no country in which so hign a
condition OF general comfort, so lofty q
standard OF proved intelligence, and such
large and varied means to intellectual excel
lence exist side by side with so much turbu.
lencs so lax a commercial morality, and
such overcharged statistics Of drunkenness
and crimes OF violence. Why should peo-
pie which is among the best educated in the
world be also among the least commercially
sound, the rowdiest ami ths most drunken?
Let there be no mistake about tine question
or about the charges which are involved in
It. Australian inSolvencies are to British as
tour to one. Convictions in Australia are
to convictions III the United Kingdom as
two to one. The figures given by Mr.. II. H.
Hayter, y. NJ. e., Government Statist Of
Victoria, though apparently clouded with
purpose. prove the last charge beyond the
chance Of refutatlon. The highest percent

THE REAL oPPRESsoR.

tits in vain for the working-classes to look
for relief to any system Of industrial reform
which does not embrace the extinction Of
the liquor traffic. Shorter hours, higher
wages, more equitable division Of the prof
its Of labor, all these will not avail to bring
peace, happiness and contentment to the
home Of the worker while the licensed saloon
stands over the way. Nothing approaching
aparadisiacal condition is possible for the
workingmen, or for anyone else, in this
world while this serpent traffic is permitted
to live and work its evil ends. There Is
more than enough wage money thrown into
the NAV of the liquor dragon in this coun-
try every year than would suffice to build
city Of commodious and beautiful homes,
and city, too Of no mean size. The great
enemy Of the workingman Is not the capital
ist; it is the dealer in strong drink. II the
workingman would strike blow at the
things which hurts him most, les him strike
at the saloon.-Christidn at Work.

MORE LOVE TO CHRISTIANS.

Jesus said to his disciples: "a new COM
mandment give unto you, that We love one
another; as l have loved you, that ye also
love one another" In his last interview
with them before be suffered, he spake very
tenderly on this point. and he accompanied
his words with the prayer that they might
all be one; and it was prominent theme In
the Epistles of the Apostles, and especially
so in those Of John, the disciple whom Jesus
loved.
There are important reasons why the dis
cipes of Jesus should love one another.
They are all disciples of the same loving
Saviour. They are all members of the same
living family, of which Christ is the Head.
They are all born of the same Spirit. They
have the same great object for which to live
the promotion of the kingdom of the
Redeemer. They have similar joys and
sorrows. They are travelling on together to
the same blessed home in heaven, where
they will forever dwell, and unite In the
same delightful pleasures. They owe it to
their Saviour. who bought them with His
own precious blood, that they love one an
other. Nothing will please him better;
nothing will honor his religion more, and
tend so much to its advancement In the
world. "By this" he said, "shall all men
know that ye are my disciples, II ye have
love one to another" Thus should His
religion be advanced, and men be led to think
and speak we'll of it.
But on the other hand, nothing 80 much
brings dishonor upon religion, and hinders
its progress, as the want Of brotherly love,
and spirit OF animcsity on the part Of the
profe ssed friends of Christ. Whenever such
Is the case, the enemies of religion take notice
of it. and make the worst Of It. They eat
the sins of the disciples of Christ as they eat
bread. They make them an excuse for the
neglect of religion, and soul-destroying Is
the effect upon them. Next to more love to
Christ, more love to his people should be
striven for
glove is the golden chain that binds
The happy souls above
And he's an heir to heaven who finds
His bosom glow with love-"
