One of the proprietors of g. certain
large industry in Jefferson county re-
Gently stated in the presence Of
number of his employees that if they
voted for Bryan and Bryan was elect
ed they might expect to see no more
smoke going from the stacks of the
works where they made their living.
This reminds us of similar attempt
to bulldoze the employees of the Craw-
ford bicycle works in Hagerstown. In
1896 the Crawtords in an open letter
said that if Bryan was elected large
order for the manufacture of wheels
would be cancelled. Bryan was defeat
ed and Mckinley ,the"advance agent of
prosperity" was elected, yet it was
only few months until the Crawford
works were absorbed by a trust, and
ever since they have been shut down
tight and fast, and the 1900 employ
ees were thrown out of work without
the slightest conjunction on the part
Of the Crawfords.
We advise the laboring men of JEFF
ferson county to take their chances
with Mr.. Bryan rather than place
themselves in the power of the trusts
that have no souls and use their in
Auence to ELL their pockets utterly re-
gardless of the people.

to make ready and accompany him to
Harrisonburg Va, where himself and
Jack had fallen heir TO 300 acres of fine
farm land we'll improved, the estate of
Peter Van Pelt, Jacks great-grandfath-
er. The meeting was exceedingly hap
py, both for their long separation and
the good luck that has befallen them,
When Jack was yet a baby his father
went to war and this is their first meet
ing since-a period of 81 years. The
son in the meantime married and made
a home for himself Mr. Van Pelt, ST.,
is prosperous farmer in Rockingham
county. Va, but as there is no one of
his family living but Jack he will make
his future home with him. They both
left Thursday for HarriSonburg to take
possession of their legacy, and in due
time will return 10 their home here.

Still More Counterfeitine.

The Secret Service has unearthed an
other band of counterfeiters and secured
large quantity of bogus bills, which
are so cleverly executed that the aver
age person would never suspect them of
being spurious. Things of great value
are always selected by counterfeiters
for imitation, notably the celebrated
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which has
many imitators but no equals for indi-
gestion, dyspepsia, constipation, ner-
vousness and general debility. The Bit
tiers sets things right in the stomach,
and when the stomach is in good order
it makes good blood and plenty of it.
In this manner the Bitters get at the
seat of strength and vitality, and restore
vigor to the weak and debilitated. Be-
ware of counterfeits when buying.

The great strike of anthracite coal
miners in Pennsylvania ispow on, and
over 100000 men have quit work.
Others will go out, and great con-
test between the men and the mine
owners is in prospect. The miners
are striking for the correction of a
number of grievances which the op-
orators have refused to consider. The
miners have issued a statement in
which they say that the average wages
of the workmen are only about $3.50 a
year, and while there has been an In
crease of fully 20 per cent in the cost
of the necessaries of life there has
been no corresponding increase in
wages. The miners are compelled by
many of the companies to deal at the
"pluck- stores, where they have to
pay exorbitant prices for the goods
they are charged by the companies
$2.75 a keg for powder that sells at
wholesale for 81 keg and which may
be bought anywhere for $3.50; they
are compelled to mire from 2,7OO to
1000 pounds of coal for ton, and IN
many ways are treated in what they
believe to be an unjust way. The
operators decline to agree to the de-
mands and they will not submit to ar
bitration, declaring that they will
close the mines rather than yield to
their employees.
Two things may be set down as al
most certain in regard to the strike.
One is that in the end the miners will
be forced to yield to the terms of the
operators the other is that the coal
companies will take advantage of the
opportunity to further advance the al
ready exorbitant prices they are re-
ceiving for their product.
The final result will be that the
companies will lose little or nothing,
the people will have to foot the bills,
and the last state of the miners will
be worse than the first.

AT GALVESTON.

The REGISTER told last week how
the city of Galveston, Texas, had been
devastated by the fierce storm that
swept over the city and submerged it
with the waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
The first dispatches greatly underes-
timated the fearful loss of life, the
awful destruction Of property, the
unspeakable horrors accompanying
the catastrophe.
Instead of 5000 victims of the
storm, it is now known that fully
5000 persons lost their lives, and some
estimates place the number at 10000
and this out Of population Of 49,
600. The past week has been devoted
to the herculean task of recovering
the dead bodies and clearing up the
debris. 1t has been simply impossi-
bic to bury the dead. Most of the
bodies soon became so decomposed
that they were not recognizable and
filled the city with such an awful
stencil that it was almost impossible
to breathe. The only practicable way
to dispose Of the corpses was to Gre
mate them. From the ruins of the
shattered buildings great bonfres
were kindled and in the flames the
bodies of men, women and children,
white and black, Of high and Of low
degree, were consumed. The scenes
have been heartrending in the ex-
IRENE, and the survivors of the dis
aster will never know what became
of the bodies Of their friends and rel
atives.
The military authorities who have
been in charge of the city have COM
PEELED all the men to assist in the
work of clearing the streets and dis
posing of the dead. Most Of the bus
mess streets have been made passable,
but it will be weeks yet before all
the bodies have been found and the
ruins cleared away. Many thousands
of the survivors have been sent from
the city, and they will not be permit
ted to return until the sanitary condi-
tons have been improved. No stran-
gers are allowed in the city unless
they have business. Curiosity seek
ers who have slipped in are put to
work and kept at it at the point Of
the bayonet. 1t is thought that fully
$50 men, mostly negroes, have been
shot and killed for robbing the dead
and committing other outrages. More
than 500 persons have lost their minds
as the result Of the awful experiences
through which they passed.
1t was feared at first that Galveston
might never recover from the blow to
its business interests, but the railroad
companies and other important firms
have gone to work to rebuild and re-
new, and the people have taken heart.
They say the city shall be restored
even better than it was.
The people Of the country have
been prompt and liberal in sending
help to the stricken city. Many train
loads of supplies have been forwarded
and millions of dollars in money have
been contributed. From East and
West, North and South, the contribu-
tons have poured in, and all that
can do to alleviate the suffer
ing is being done.

IN a speech in Chicago the other
day Mark Hanna got so eloquent that
he made himself cry. His voice
trembled as he tearfully said
Think of it Pull down our flag, re-
move our troops and leave the brave
dead-our boys in blue-to the tender
mercies of Aguinaldo Never :"
This is indeed noble sentiment,
yet it strikes us that it isn't exactly
consistent to keep right on filling
graves with these brave boys in blue
day after day. In our opinion it is
good deal worse to keep the living
there than it is to leave the dead.
