THE REASON WHY.

In a recent speech in Chicago Hon.
David B. Henderson, Speaker of the
House of Representatives. said that he
supported President Mckinley and adj
voeated his reelection because McKin-
ley is strictly following the ideas OF
Alexander Hamilton.
The following extracts from one OF
Hamiltons most famous speeches, de-
livered June IS, 1877, before the Federal
Convention at Philadelphia, will fully
illustrate Speaker Henderson's mean
ing.
After advocating Constitutional
provision fixing the term OF Office of the
President for life. Mr. Hamilton said:
II believe the British government the
best the world has ever produced.
''All communities divide themselves into
the few and the many The first are the
riof d wei harl tue Others the mass OF
the people.
THE people are turbulent and changing:
They seldom judge or determine rightly.

AT WORK UNDER PROTECTION.

SHAMOKIN, Pa, September 2S--
Contrary to expectation of the leaders,
most of the employees of the North
Franklin colliery of the Reading Com
pany went 10 work this morning under
protection of a big force of deputies
and coal and iron police. another car
load of whom arrived last night from
Philadelphia and Schuylkill valley
towns. 1t was thought the action OF
the men at Locust Springs yesterday
would influence the North Franklin
employees to stop. The rumors of a set
Element will likely keep the men at
work.
There was no sign of a clash between
the deputies and strikers. The strik-
ers agreed last night to keep away from
the company's property.
Not a colliery in this section. except
ing the North Franklin, is at work to-
day.

The Intelligencer yesterday morning
broke out into vicious arraignment of
the Register for untairness and lack OF
common courtesy, and proceeded to give
full sway to its ancient hostility to-
wards this paper, something which has
been Oft demonstrated, in many ways
and in various forms. In choice col
lection of epithets, strung together upon
to be shown that fair or even decent
treatment was impossible from the
Register, and with an animosity as Bit
ter as its assertions We're false it gave
free expression to it's spleen.
1t is scarcely necessary to reply to
the Intelligencer in kind, for to de-
scend to invictive and prevarication
would be to seek the level occupied in
unenviable isolation by the local Re-
about ''decency" and fairness" it may
be sufficiently answered by only cas-
ual reference to its notorious short
comings in those regards in the case of
the candidacy Of Judge John A. Camp
bell, two years ago, and last spring, and
If any further evidence is needed the
negro voters Of this county, and par
ticularly OF Clay district, could furnish
some pertinent and admissible testi-
mony. In fact, quite number Of cases
could be readily cited of the anything
but fair or honorable course of the
Wheeling Intelligencer toward mem
beers of its own party, TO say nothing Of
Democrats, while it has a notoriety
wherever it circulates for its attempted
ridicule and abuse of Democrats and its
denunciation Of former Republicans.
Day by day and week after week. there
can be extracted from the editorial col
umns of our contemporary or quoted
from its headlines, expressions AID
sentiments not in high favor in reputa-
BILE journals, and yet, with this we'll
known record the Intelligencer has the
brazen effrontery to indulge in criti-
cism. Ye gods and little, little fishes!

Samuel George, a banker, upon the Re-
publican. They come from the same
town and The same county, and are both
we'll known.
John Kunkle, the Democratic nomi-
nee, is an old citizen of Brooke county,
man who has toiled with his hands
all his life, intelligent, capable, well in
formed upon current questions of i'm
portance TO the people of this State,
and one thoroughly conyersant with the
needs of labor, as well as the people at
large He believes in. the principles of
unionism as applied to labor, and while
the interests of capital will be safe in
his hands, and the agricultural and
business elements willfat all times COM
mand his serious and earnest attention,
he will be particularly the champion OF
the wage-worker should there be occa-
sion for his effort.
Mr.. George is banker and rich
man. He has been an employer OF
! labor, but his record in that regard will
not bare inspection by workingmen,
union and non-union alike. AS an en-
ployer his preference was for non-union
men. and yet, when he came to seek
political honors, he did not hesitate to
throw aside his patronage OF that class
OF labor and to give bonds in promises
that he would hereafter be square and
fair, and thus affects love for union
ism and its principles open to the sus-
picion that after such hasty change
of front under the conditions his con-
version could not be much more than
skin deep after a series Of confer
ences upon Mr. Georges labor record
he was reluctantly declared to be good
enough" and his name was placed upon
the Republican ticket, but the fact and
feeling remains that he cannot be en-
dorsed by any sort Of wageworker,
union or non-union, for he fought the
one until he took notion he would like
to be Senator, and then threw over the
other in the hope of achieving his am
bition.
Thus these two men stand: the one
consistent, the other inconsistent, and
the voters will have no trouble in dis
tinguislhing which of the two is most
worthy of support.

AN OBJECT LESSON.

That the trusts benefit nobody but
themselves was we'll illustrated in this
city day CIR two ago. a large whole
sale house desired to place an order for
five cars of canned tomatoes, and was
called upon by an agent of canning
house. The agent was asked If he
could deliver the goods, and replied in
the affirmative What will the price
be?'' was the next question of the job
Der. "Well,' said the agent, 1--WE can
furnish the tomatoes at the same old
figure, but we shall have to charge you
little more for the cans" How much
more?" We'll, the advance on the cans
is 15c per dozen, making the goods cost
you SIC instead of re
This works out in the following man
ner: The producer of the tomatoes
got no more for his product this year
than last, the canning factory sold at
the same price, as far as it was con-
cerned, but the tin trust got rake off
of 15c per dozen cans, and the consumer
pays it.
That's about the way it works all
along the trust line. The public pay
the bill in every instance, while assured
by Mark Hanna that the trust is a
myth.
Query: What is the public going to
do about it?
