1t has been arranged that the ten cot
inns shall be carried on the shoulders
of the strikers from the undertaker's
shop to the front of st. Joseph's church.
In front of the church a platform is to
be erected upon which it is the purpose
to place the ten collins so that they can
be viewed by the crowd
Then addresses in Polish. Lithuanian
and English are to be made by priests
and others; the bodies will be carried
inside and the pontifcial high mass will
be celebrated. After the services the
procession will go to the Polish GENE

tanning Poles, will be placed in one
large grave. 1t is the purpose
to acquire by subscription sufficient
funds to erect over this monument

Bigger Questions Coming.

The heartburnings and the reer imi
nations caused by the late election in
New York will soon be forgotten in the
common interest in great national ques
tons which the opening of Coz gress will
create. The thoughts of the public will
be transferred from New York to Wash
ington. The local questions were settled
by the late election. The national
questions are still open and will be under
debate throughout the coming winter.
The Cuban question is always Of alb
sorbirg interest, and never before WAS
it so provocative OF thought and emotion
as it will be during the pending session
of Congress. Doubtless, the Hawaiian
Islands will be annexed to the United
States before this session closes, arous-
ing and stimulating patriotic pride. The
discussions provoked by the currency
quer ton will command the earnest at
tention of the whole public
Thus minor local disputatious which
have v, xed this town since last spring
will be set aside by matters OF large
national concern, aud with the caus of
parochial discord will pass away the
rtsentments which they gave rise.
This is fortunate outlook, for the
people hereabouts need the broadening
influence of wider issues on their minds.
Whether national issues could or could
not properly be introduced into our
municipal campaign was under dispute
during its progress, but that their dis
cussion belongs to Congress is iudisputa-
BILE and from Cor gress they will extend
reasonably and necessarily to the whole
people.

Eastern Panhandle farmers are now

ed to be the staff Of life. With the
largest and best crop ever harvested

higher than for years past the natural
inquiry is, "WilI present prices be

Reports from Europe are that the
crop OF England and the Continent is
