The complete statement of anthracite
coal production in 1898 does not show
important changes as compared with
the previous year. The total output
was 4l,s90,751 tons, as compared with
l,637,s tons the year before, 43,177
4S3 tons in 1896 and 46,511,477 tons in
1895. These figures show pretty clearly
the reason for the somewhat disappoint-
ing statements of business that have
been made by several of the companies.
There was some little variation from
the allotted percentages, as the follow
ing table shows, which gives the total
production by companies for the year,
the percentage mined by each interest
and the percentage allotted:

POLITICAL POINTERS.

The names Of all the nominees in the
borough appear in the TRIBUNE today,
and a glance over the selections will
show that the Democrats have made
strong tickets. The Republicans con-
cede that the Democrats will have their
annual walk-over in the South ward,
re-electing Councilman Meehan and
sending Mr. McCole, Democrat, to the
school board to succeed the retiring
Democrat, Director Sweeney In the
First ward Messrs. McNelis and Fisher
stand an even chance to win. The
dlssensons in the party, to which can
attributed the defeat of the nominees
last spring, have disappeared, and vic
tory seems more than probable. In the
Third ward eX-Counciman Bachman is
pitted against Councilman Smith, and
when the c!oseness of the vote and the
makeup of the ward are considered it
appears that the former will get ma
jority of the votes.
For the first time in many years Halle
township Democrats are presenting
solid front to their opponents. Their
ranks are unbroken and unbreakable.
On the other hand, the Republicans are
warning among themselves with unabat-
ed vigor, and the dissatisfaction oc-
casioned by the nominations made BY
the convention is increasing daily. Cor
poration rule, bossism OF the rankest
brand and flake" reform on the school
board have disgusted the decent Re-
publicans of the township and they pro-
pose to end the political careers of the
present leaders by overwhelmingly
defeating their ticket on the 2lst inst.
Both parties have agreed that their
local rules need revision. The Demo
Gratis will endeavor to give each district
more equitable representation than is
had under present rules. The RepubIi-
cans are working upon the Crawford
county system of nominating borough
candidates, and this radical departure
from the methods used here so long has
caused many in the party to believe that
a scheme is under way to advance some
body's interests next year.
The Republicans of the South ward
nominated Thomas Elliott for counci-
man and Henry Luhman for constable,
but the nominations were not satisfac-
tory to the nominees and they were
withdrawn, David p. Jones and Edward
jenkins taking their places on the
ticket.
Foster township Democratic cand-
dates are working to make their majori-
ties as large as possible. If but one
fourth the number of votes promised
them by dissatisfied Republicans are re-
ceived, the whole ticket will win with
ease.
Objections to the certificate of nomi-
nation of John Rosenstock, Republican
candidate for poor auditor, have been
filed at Mauch Chunk The nomination
was not made according to party rules.
James Thomas, of Oakdale, has been
placed on the Republican ticket in
Halle township for treasurer to fill tho
vacancy caused by the resignation of
Christ Haswell.
Councilmen Meehan and Smith have
been renominatcd by their respective
parties.

New Coal Road viii BE Built.

Stories have been afloat for the past
week to the effect that the individual
coal operators had abandoned the idea
of putting a road of their own from
Scranton to tide water upon receiving a
concession of 65 instead of 60 per cent,
and privilege to make larger shipments.
On Tuesday President E. b. Sturgess,
of the New York, Wyoming and Western
Railroad Company, the corporate name
of the new road, said positively that
there was no idea OF abandoning the
project.

The committee of the Schuylkill Coal
Exchange on Monday fixed the rate of
wages to be paid the miners in the
Schuylkill region for the last half of
January and the first half of February
at per cent below the So. so basis.
This is the lowest rate of wages paid
anthracite miners for years. The alleg-

market is responsible for the low rate of
wages
