STATE CASH IS SAVED
SOME FACTS ABOUT THE ADMINS
MP ALTON OF STATE INSTITUTE
FOR DETECTIVES
GREAT REDUCTIONS EFFECTED
Last Year Has Seen the Expense Of
Maintenance Reduced to a Min
1mum Under This Ad-
ministration.

While the Republican papers are try
ing to make it appear that the state
institutions are being mismanaged under
Gov. Lind's administration the biennial
report of Secretary Mott, of the state
institute for detectives, himself a Re
publican, gives the lie to these charges,
as far as that institution is concerned
Secretary Mott is at work on his re-
port and will have it ready for publica-
ton shortly, but among the things that
it shows these facts are worthy at this
time.
The cost per capita of maintaining the
various departments of the institute for
the last five years has been:
School for the Deaf, 1896, $218; 1897,
5000; 1898, 5000; 1899, $2O5; 1900, 5000.
School for the Blind, 1896, $279; 1897, $3.50;
1898, ,-o6; 1S99 $3.50; 1900, $255
School for the Feeble Minded, 1895,
$3.50; 1897, $1S7; 1898, 1884, 1S99 $155; 1869.
$3.50.
Aggregate cost per capita, 1896, 1925. .6s;
1897, $22733; 1885, $206.66; 1899, $2OS66; 1900,
S204.66
Which shows that the institution was
maintained last year at a cost far less
than ever before in the last five years.
This is according to the figures of Re-
publican secretary, who has been con-
nected wit hthe institution through tnir-
ty years Of Republican control, and
knows the facts.

H5, 1900.-To the Miners and Mine Work
ers of the Anthacite Region-Gentlemen
After carefully canvassing the entire
strike situation, we, your officers, district
and national, have concluded that your
victory is so nearly compete that no good
ehd can be served by continuing the
progress for thirty-nine days' and the
companies employing you have, with few
exceptions, signified their Willingness to
pay the scale of wages formulated by the
scranton convention of Oct. II and 13
We are aware that some disappoint-
ment and dissatisfaction has been caused
py the failure OF the operators in Dis
trlcts L and to separate the reduction
IN the price of powder from the advance
IN wages, but after careful inquiry we
are satisfied that each mine employe will
actually receive an advance of 10 per
cent on the wages formerly paid In the
Schuylkill and Lehigh regions the largest
companies have agreed that the sliding
scale should be suspended, and that
wages should remain stationary at 10 per
cent until April l, 1901, thus removing one
of the iniquities of which you have com
planned for many years.
WhlIe 1t is true that you have not Sc
cured redress for all your wrongs: while
It is true that the increase in your earn
lngs will not fully compensate you for
the arduous labor you are compelled to
perform in the mines, you have estab-
h,hed powerful organization, which, if
Ifalntained and conducted on business
principles. will enable you to regulate

your employment less hazardous and
more profitable than before tn strike be-

to the fact that the laws of the state OF
Pennsylvania provide that miners should
be paid semi-monthly upon demand; we
should therefore advise that each mine
employe serve notice on the companies
that he expects to be paid his wages twice
each month, as provided by law.
The practical benefits to the miners
which accrue from thorough organizat ton
have been SO clearly demonstrated during
this strike that it should be needless for
us to urge upon you the necessity of
maintaining your union intact. We trust
however, that those who are now mem
bers of the union will be unceasing IN
their efforts to induce all other mine
workers to ally themselves with the
United Mine Workers of America at
once, as it will be impossible for you to
secure higher wages In the future, OF
even to maintain the present rate of
wages unless you are. prepared to offer
united resistance If any attempt is
made to reduce your earnings upon the
expiration OF the present offer.

REPUBLICANS AGAINST EDDY.
Organizing for His Defeat at Differ

BENSON, Mimi, Oct. Is Especially y
The fact has become public property here
today that there is in existence through
out the Seventh district league of anti
Eddy Republicans" whose object it is to
defeat Mr.. Eddy, but do its work inside
the party. It's members are those who
say they ''disapprove" of Mr.. EDDY, but
are otherwise loyal Republicans Their
preamble contains the following: ITO
the end that some other person, more
truly representative of Seventh district
Republicanism may be returned at the
election two years hence" Benson is
unquestionably represented in this or
ganization, but how widely it extends
over the district is not known. There is
much dissatisfaction among Republicans
in this county with the present congress-
man. An effort has been maze to whip
this class into line. but most of them
refuse to be whipped.
