committee were very complete and all
that could be expected. and containd
some strong and valuable suggestions
and recommendations.
TO SAVE 81. 100000 A YEAR.
Another bill along the line Of interest
and Importance to labor and the pa
triotic orders, and which has been COM
mended from one end of the common
wealth to the other. was introduced by
Representative Benjamin X. Focht. OF
Union county. who was one of the lead
ers on the floor OF the house In the in
terest OF labor and agriculture. The
bill provides for the removal to other
states and countries of all unnatural
lied foreigners who are quartcred upon
the state. The law is modelled after the
one that has been in successful opera
tion for some years in Massachusetts,.
Mr.. Focht says that an investigation
recently made discloses the fact that
10000 aliens are quartered upon the
taxpayers OF Pennsylvania at an an
nual cost OF sl.50Oo00, and to this ex-
tent the public will be relieved when
his law is fully enforced.
The above bills do not include all that
were passed in the interest Of labor,
and they constitute but small frac-
tion of the whole number designed TO
benefit all branches of industry.
In the face OF the above IT would
seem to be about time to shoot when
the calamity buzzard persists in be-
rating the last Legislature. Facts are
deadly, and the distortion Of the truth
by partsans and factionalists, and
those who wish To advance personal in
terests and ambitions. will not prevail
The fair and just thing for all work
ingmen To do is to cast their vote for
tEe whole Republican ticket, ana aid
in strengthening and maintaining the
party that has rolled away for them
the Democratic clouds of despair and
brought back in state and nation pros
pcrity and happiness.

Last Sunday the Phladolpha Press
printed reports from ii Of Inc e. Cpuh-
ties of this state relative to the couii-
lion Of Industry. In rcapuua" To IN
Quiries To- reports from "a many dit
irrcnt places were received. Comment
ing IN this harry omen OF good times
The Press says;
THAT there is good time coming we
have confidently believed since last No
Vrmber. HAS II arrived? These lO2 re-
ports tell us that all over the state
of Pennsylvania, except in those un-
happy regions where III timed strikes
delay the awaiting revival of industry,
mills are starting up everywhere, orders
are coming in and labor is finding en-
rloyment. Prices have not advanced in
every case and nowhere Is there IA few
erish BOOM sure to be followed by re-
action. The advance is natural, healthy,
widespread and. while profits would bc
greater II prices ruled higher. that
which is made counts for more and
does not invite and stimulate the com
petition of foreign importations.
The present is assuring and the
promise Is much greater. In the opinion
Of many competent judges this state Is
on the threshold of the greatest pros
perity in it's history. From town after
town and county after county come the
same encouraging responses. 1t is not
only mills and mines that show increas-
ed activity, but this activity and pros
perity is shared by all related indus
tries. The merchant sells more goods
the farmer finds a better market for his
products the railroads find their freight
traffic greatly increasing and in their
turn are led to expenditures which give
new employment to labor.
AS to the cause Of this revival, 1t Is
not necessary, perhaps, to inquire too
Curiously. A year ago Republicans
prophcsicd that the election of MCkin-
ley, the defeat Of the cheap money
craze and the settlement of the tariff
question would hc followed hH re-
vival of trade and business, and the ad-
vent Of better times That prophecy has
been fulfilled. The whole country re
Joices in improved conditions and Penn
sylvania knows that a Iurgo measure Of
