There can be no doubt as
to the opinion of Major Nc
Kinley on the money question,
He is committed in every
form, every speech and other
wise to the Republican policy
of maintaining the present
gold coin of the United States
as the standard of value"

The Raleigh Gazette, James Fl.
Young's paper, says: 1T is better for
Chairman Holton to hold the force that
he has than to lose them in running
off after "2O, 900 sound money men,"
The Ge site has spoken a parable. but
it wont have any effect upon the sound
money Chairman. 1t is the old story
of the dog dropping the piece of beef
in his mouth to rob the dog he saw in
the water beneath, but which was
really his own shadow. You cane

A shovel trust has been formed in
Boston. Tney propose to reduce tt g
output and raise the price 90 per cent.
That is one of the ways to go through
single standard times. But what a
clamor would be raised if the farmers
decide to sit down and reduce the pro,
duction of all cereals and raise prices.
They would be called all sorts of names.
But trusts are formed and the promo
tors are called smart.

The Tigers Are Champions.

The Hazleton Athletics dream of
champions of the Lehigh region met its
death kncll yesterday afternoon when
the Tigers beat them by the score of 10
to 1. The leading club of the Anthra-
cite league wasn't in it Il bit with the
Tigers from the first to the last inning
Although they put up a good game in
the field they were not nearly equal to
the home players in handling the ball,
and lost many opportunities to advance
their position by slow work. Their
batting was weak and ineffective, it
requiring two of the three hits they
made to score their one run.
In remarkable contrast to this, the
Tigers playing was sharp and skillful.
They played Il perfect shut-out game
from start to finish, and would have
succeeded in preventing their opponents
from scoring had the latter not been
fortunate enough to make the two hits
above mentioned. At the bat they were
uncommonly effective, and lighted on to
Turnbach's delivery with apparent ease.
Burke's pitching was the principal
feature of the game, only three hits
being made off him. He pitched under
dscouraging circumstances, as he was
suffering from injuries received early in
the week, but his work was remarkable.
The infied work of the Tigers was
superb. Not a single ball that was hit
to the ground went outside the diamond.
Following is the score:

proved himself a well-booked man. The
tion in its most intricate forms showed
that he possesses more than superb
cial knowledge of the issue.
The speaker, however, was at his best
when he took up the threats and argu-
ments used by goldtes. His sarcasm
was rich and keen, and with timely and
original Illustrations he dissected the
dire predictions and prophecies of the
Republicans in manner which laid
bare their bombastic, un-American and
un-patriotic claims.
On the state and county issues he was
also equally well posted, and gave his
audience some plain and undisputable
proofs of the corruption and rottenneSs
which permeates the organization he
has just left. On the question of con-
gressman, he sent the audience into
roars of laughter when he repeated ver-
batim the three speeches of Morgan Il.
Williams, and round after round of APP
plause greeted him as he told what kind
VI IL man biic ie'puoiiNdh iS'
His address, as whole, was one of the
most entertaining that either party has
given Freeland.
Matthew Long, candidate for rep
resentative, made the last address of the
evening. lie spoke briefly, as he eX-
poets to have another opportunity to
meet the voters of the North Side before
election day. His remarks were well
received, as he appealed to every citizen
to study thoroughly the claims of each
candidate, and to vote, not by the com
mand of either party's leaders, but for
those whom the voter thinks will do him
and his fellow-men the most good in
Office.
Three rousing cheers for Bryan, Sc
wall and the whole ticket ended the big
meeting,

HOW THE NINE LAW WORKS.
Men Discharged When They Complain
of Niolations by the OPeratOrs.

Last week the Pittston Item called
Mine Inspector McDonald's attention to
the deficient ventilation of Il portion of
the Simpson & Watkins mine, at Dur
yea. Mr. Mcdonald promptly investi-
gated the matter and found that the in
formation was correct. The inspector
severely criticized Mine Foreman McCar-
thy for permitting the miners TO work in
such foul atmosphere. His words
were: 1T is not fit for II dog to enter,
let alone man." Mr. Mcdonald order
ed the lift closed, where five chambers
were working, and instructed the mine
foreman to find chambers for the miners
in some other part of the mine.
This the foreman promised he would
do but when the mine inspector left the
mine, he informed the miners that there
were no other chambers for them, and
that he did not want dscontented,
growing men around his mine. So the
miners were compelled to take out their
tools and seek employment elsewhere,
which is difficult task these hard times.
This is how the mine law works in this
vicinity. No matter how dangerous the
mine may be, or how poorly ventilated,
the miner is supposed to ignore these
things. He is employed to work, not
to find fault. Neither is the mine
inspector to know aught about the dan
gerous condition of a mine, for when he
makes his monthly visits care is taken
to avoid all portions that are worked
improperly or badly ventilated. Thus
the only real means by which the mine
inspector can become real acquainted
with the true condition of the mines is
through the miner.
So many instances have happened
during Mine Inspector McDonald's ad
minstration where miners giving infor-
nation have been discharged and black
listed that nowadays the miner has to
grin and bear it," So tightly has the
grasp of the corporations settled upon
the miners that, If perchance any facts
regarding the mines enter the columns
of the newspapers, there is search for
the informant and if he is discovered he
suffers the fate of these five miners who
were summarily discharged by Mine
Foreman Mccarthy. Mine Inspector
Nc cDonald should see that these men are
instantly re-employcd.

Cave-In at Wilkesbarre.

Great excitement was caused on North
Canal street, Wilkesbarre on Saturday
morning, by a caVe-in just back of a line
of houses near the Hillman breaker
The family of Henry Hoover were awak-
ened about o'clock in the morning by
the house shaking and plaster falling
from the ceiling. They ran outside and
found the street firm and no signs of q
cave there. They alarmed the neigh
bors and valuable goods were quickly
taken to place of security. No fur
ther disturbance has yet occurred, how
ever, and the people have returned to
their homes.
The cave is about ten feet in diameter
at the top, is forty feet deep and as
sumes considerably larger proportions
further down. The depression is the
result of Il cave in the airway of the
Hillman vein mino which occurred We'd
nesday. 1t is thirty feet from the fan
house, just above the airway, and closes
the passage up. Owing to this fact the
cave is more serious than it would other
wise be, and will necessitatc the shut
ting down of the Hillman vein mine un-
til the airway is reopened. This may
be as long as two or three weeks.

The members Of St. AIMS Total Absti-
nence and Beneficial Society, at its regu-
lar meeting yesterday, decided to dis
band. For number of years past the
membership has been falling Off, and no
new members coming in, the society
concluded that formal dissolution
would be proper. The organization at
one time was a very strong and prosper
GUS one, but the organizing of the
younger members into other temperance
societies caused it to lose members. In
1887, as an Illustration of its strength
at that time, its records show that there
was received as dues the sum of $2,217S Sc
and for benefits there was paid out the
sum of 81, 604.99.

pointed to make a general audit of the

as to the distribution of the funds in
hand.
