4 in substantial gain for the
delivers in our mines, insur-
ing an early recovery of strike losses
and wage disbursement yearly aggre-
eating larger by several million dol
lars than before, the time is ripe for
vigorous onrush to Republican VIC
tory at the November polls.
To hold what they have won, the
miners need Republican triumph, for
history teaches that Democratic sue
cess invariably is followed by falling
wages and dull times. Mckinley res

means our currency safe from attack,
our flag respected and confidence so
general that business will continue to
thrive; but Bryan in the white house
and Democratic majority in con-
gress, mean tariffs ripped to pieces
currency agitation renewed and the
whole structure of our present splen-
did national prosperity undermined
and caved in.
1t is for the laboring men Of Lacka-
wanna county in part to pass on this
vital question of national welfare or
adversely. In fight of their own for
better wages, a fight conducted with
great skill by leaders who have shown
ability of a high order and who are
{,.;,, ,1,o, ,,t ha frSt
history of general mine strikes, they
have established a new foundation for
| their personal prosperity. But as men
of judgment they must appreciate that
to vote to hazard the general pros
| perity would inevitably put in jeop-
| ardy their own. Good time in the
mines necessitates good times else
where. The better the times through
out the country the more coal burned
| and the more coal mined. To get not
only more pay per day, but also more
| days per month is the mine workers
aim, and this is not to be furthered by
taking chances with the Democratic
party.
If it is to the miners interest to sus-
tain the national policies of the Re-
publican party, by the same token it
| is to his interest to uphold Republican,
ism in local affairs. Party organiza-
ton exists in national affairs by vir-
tue of local support. 1t is like the
great river fed by innumerable small
streams. The cutting OFF of one tribu-
tary might not seem important, but
If applied to all tributaries there would
be no river. In Lackawanna county
this year the Republican local ticket
is, fortunately, we'll calculated to in
vite the harmonious support of all Re-
publicans. Nominated fairly by direct
vote at open primaries, it combines all
factions, sections and racial constitu-
ences, and in personal quality COM
pares favorably with any ticket named
in years. Let every Republican, there
fore, in these final three weeks take off
his coat for the whole ticket and help
to bring it in a winner with Garri-
son finish.

London, (Dy Cable. "A censored dispatch
to the Daily Chronicle from Kimberley, says:
-Four hundred Free Staters have taken
possession OF the road between Kimberley
and Paardeberg. They have seized farm
near Pandamsfontein, where u number OF
army horses had been sent to rest and Craze.
1t Is rumored that their object Is to raid the
railway by way OF Jacobsda."
The Cape Town correspondent of the Daily
News, telegraphing Tuesday says;
1T is improbable that the advance from
Bloemfonteln will be made for another
month. General Clements Is advancing to
Bloemfonteln In four columns. When Lord
Roberts begins the march northward General
Gatacre will be left in charge OF Bloemfon-
ten. The; Colonial Government has ordered
the Cape Volunteers to withdraw south OF
the Orange river for fear of accentuating
racial feeling"
Lord Roberts cables to the War Office as
follows from Bloemfontein, under dnte Of
Monday;
Captain Sloanc-Stanlcy, OF tho Sixteenth
Lancers, was slightly wounded in an affair
of outposts north Of the Modder river March
25."
A dispatch from Bloemfontein to the Times
amplines Lord Roberts dispatch rs follows:
"A cavalry reconnaissance was made on
Sunday toward Brandfort. The SlXteenth
Lancers, by sdrmIshing, drew the Beers
from their position into the open, when tho
Ninth Lancers attempted to outhank the
enemy whllo they We're engaged from the

to be few."
