~ warning which Should BE Needed.

From the Wilkcsbarrc Telephone.
1t is well known that the ordinary
dangers incident to anthracite mining
in nearly all the colicrics of the Wvom-
Ing region is becoming greater year after
year, rs the workings are extended into
the underlying veins, and the everything
veins are being rapidly worked out. on
the west side of the Susquchanna from
West Nanticoie all the way to Plymouth
and the Woodward and East Boston
mines near Kingston, the upper work
ing Of at least a dozen of the colicrics
in that line of territory are connected
with each other.
The area Of workable coal in the lower
veins extends underneath the river, and
at several Of the colierics mentioned
coal is now being mined in the Red Ash
and everything veins, directly under the
vicinity Of the river bed.
1t is very evident, therefore, that
the mine law should make it incumbent
on the land owners and operators to
take every possible prccaution to secure
the safety Of human life and property in
the time to come; otherwise it is
not altogether improbable that the Sus.
quchanna river may some day inundatc
the mines, and forever put an end to the
mining of anthracite in the Wyoming
ynlIpv

Last Monday the TRIBUNE announced
that the New York speech of W. j.
Bryan, the Democratic presidential nomi-
nee, would appear today. On Thursday,
however, We surprised the greater part
Of our readers, and ourselves somewhat
by giving in the issue of that day the
complete address as delivered by Mr.
Bryan the previous evening. This was
done without delaying the issue one
minute, the entire edition having been
sent on its way to subscribers before
noon. We did not expect to be able to
dcvclope such enterprise, but, since it
has been done, we presume our readers
will overlook our misstatcmcnt made Il
week ago and feel satisiice that the TRI-
BUNE did its duty to them by placing
the entire speech in their hands before
it was printed by any other newspaper
in northeastern Pennsylvania.
To the few subscribers whose papers
did not contain this feature we make
amends by publishing it in tho papers
sent them today.

Bryan Has Made Them Desperate.

The unprecedented ''audaciOusness"
exhibited by William j. Bryan in going
within Il stones throw of Wall street to
receive his formal notification, and
there delivering a mastery and un-
assaiablc argument in defense of every
plank of the Chicago platform, has arous-
ed the gold mems press as no other man
has ever done. With one accord they
few into Il rage the following day, and
dcnunciation, abuse, vile epithets and
diSgraccful caricaturcs have been the
predominant features OF their columns
since.
Bryan's speech stunned them for the
moment, and when they recovered them
selves they found his words were ndis-
putablc. Maddcned and chagrined at
the thought that GO, 600 American voters
battlcd for admission to hear the issues of
the day discussed honestly, truthfully
and ntcligently by the standard bearer
Of the common people, the press OF the
bondholdcrS, bankers and brokers could
not conceal its disappointment at being
unable to refute his words, and their
rrothingS, rawlings and Scurrious attacks
proclaim them to be in plight that is
pitiabe.
Powerful as gold may be, there is not
enough of it on earth to buy arguments
with which that speech can be retuted.
Truth cannot be oycrthrown by drosS,
and the frcnzied condition into which
the moncd press of this nation has
worked itself is plain proof OF this fact.
If single sentence Of Bryan'S address
could be shown to be false, it would have
been done ere now. But no, not one
word Of that lengthy Grafton has
been proven untrue, and so his enemies
and their representatives in the news
paper world finding that the nation
at whose throat their grasp has been for
many long years is about to rise in its
might and cast off the bloodlceches, have
resorted to the weapons of the coward.
They hurl at Bryan and his followers
every known word that stands for dis
honorable dishonesty, but they dare not
make Il truthful comment upon the
grand address he has delivered. They
try to hide from their duped readers
the magical effect his speech has had
upon the voters of the United States,
but it will all be to no avail. The peo-
pie have learned to suspect some men
and their motives, and are doing their
own thinking in this campaign.

An incendary with mania for burn
ing sawmils has broken loose in the
neighborhood of Farmersburg, south of
Terre IIaute. Within the past month
four mills have been burned, entailing
a total loss. The fires have left the en-
tire country south of here, for radius
of 20 miles, without mill, and as the
country is heavily wooded the de-
ficiency is keenly felt. No insurance
was carried upon the majority of the
mills, and their owners find themselves
unable to rebuild.

A Few Words About Reputation.

From the Wilkesbarrc Leader.
In an article attacking the Chicago
platform the Philadelphia Press says.
Paying debt in the money in which
it was borrowed is matter of common
honesty" This has reference, of course,
to the bonded debt of the United States,
1t cannot always be told what kind of
money was loaned. The bonds of tn,
United States have been sold for gold,
silver, greenbacks, silver certificates
and other kinds of money.
But the bonds themselves. the orig
inal contract, tell in what kind of money
they are redeemable, and every one Of
them says ''coin." Every resolution in
troduced in congress to make them pay
able in gold has been uniformly voted
down, both before and after their issue.
The buyer of every bond has had faiI
notice, both by congress and the word
ing of the bonds themselves, that they
are payable in coin.
When the last issue of bonds was made
the bankers offered to take per cents.
il the government would make then
payable in gold. Congress refused to do
this, and the bonds were issued as per
cents, payable in coin.

coinage is step in the right direction,
in that it recognizes and emphasizes the

claim of the goldbug army that we must
hold ourselves at the beck and call of
