AT Packerton yards, near Mauch
Chunk, the following notice was posted
last week:
The Lehigh Valley Railroad Com
pany believes that every man in its en-
poy is loyal to Its interests. In the
present political contest the election of
sound money candidates for president,
vice president and congress, is very i'm
portant to its interests, and therefore it
is expected that every employe will sup
port the sound money candidates. The
interests of the company and the men
are mutual"
This is mild sample of the part that
corporations are playing in the political
contest The demand that its employees
shall help ''sound money" candidates is
blum to take their attention from
those planks in the Democratic platform
establishment of Il national arbitration
board to settle labor troubles. That lit
tie section, and the one which condemns
government by injunction, pinches
the railroads harder than the free silver
talk. Then, again, they remember
Bryan's mastery speech in congress in
favor of compelling railroads to adopt
an automatic coupler.
The Lehigh Valley dabbling in politics
may surprise some people, but it should
not In opposing Bryan and his con-
gressional colleagues they are doing only
that which every railroad corporation in
America is doing. The railroad en-
ploye who does not know his place in
this contest must be queer fellow.
The Democratic county committee of
Carbon has answered the Lehigh Valley
Company by offering $500 for evidence
that will convict any corporation or its
agents, uperintendents, etc, of violat-
ing that part of the election law which
relates to intimidation and coercion in
voting.
superintendent r. II. Wilbur issued
notice on Saturday to the effect that the
order given above was not issued by au-
thority of the company. 1t is true the
notice was not signed by any official,
but it was type-written in the company's
style and posted on the official boards.

ages were filed on Friday in the Luzernc

Stewart, against John Hall. The plain
tiff, who claims to be a direct heir of

NEW YORK, August S.-The World
Washington correspondent says: Sec
rotary Hoke Smiths resignation as a
member of the cabinet and head of the
Interior Department is said to be in the
hands of the President. The authority
for this statement is a close personal
friend of Secretary Smith.
AS the story goes, Secretary Smith
forwarded his resignation to the Pres
ident at Gray Gables on the same day
he authorized the publication in his
paper, the Atlanta Journal, of an edi-
toriaI declaring that the paper would
support Bryan and Sewall, although
deprecating the platform on which they
were nominated. In his letter to the
President, it is said, Secretary Smith
announced the position he was going to
assume, pointed out that he had during
the compaign in Georgia given a SOL
emn pledge that he would abide by the
action of the Chicago Convention, and
then went on to say that he felt that
he could not, in justice to the President,
longer remain in his Cabinet.

Colonel w. H. Hallowell of Wichita;
was reelected in 1892 defeating Chester
l. Long, and in turn was defeated by
Long in 1894. Long is again the Re

Pulley Betting.

Practical observers experienced in the
working of betting have generally con-
cluded that belt of 2 inches width and
of single thickness, running on pulley
inches in diameter, represents about as
near a perfect belt transmission as 1t is
possible to get with oak tanned leather
betting. This may seem, it is thought,
rather a favorable condition for belt
of such dimension to work under, but as
far as the pliability of the belt is con-
cerned, it is assumed that there would
be no objection to the curvature of eight
inches, and as for the width, one inch
and half might be considered quite
narrow and th:ee inches i'll width some
what wide. 1t is argued, however, that
if the oak tanned material viii endure
all this bending action while under .
