THE REP UBLIC1N PLATFORM.

The platform adopted by the Repub-
lican State convention yesterday has
the large merit of brevity. Platforms
as long as mayors messages are not
needed. This platform Endorses every
thing Republican and everything likely
to be Republican. 1t "swats" the trusts
neatly and effectively as follows: 1--WE
declare that trusts which have for their
purpose the increasing OF the cost of the
necessarles of life or the decreasing of
the wages of labor are contrary to the
spirit of our institutions, and that the
same should be restrained by appropri-
ate legislation Anybody who can't
stand on this plank of the platform
would be being whom it would be
base flattery to call villain. And the
other planks will furnish solid footing
for all who wish their State and country
well.

1t is said that the principal object of
Maitre Labori's projected lecturing tour
in the United States, which is to be
made next winter, is to recuperate his
fortunes, destroyed beyond repair in
France by his connection with the
Dreyfus case. Not only did his defense
of the prosecuted Captain fail to bring
him any return for his services, but he
lost many of his clients who were nee
essarily neglected during the Dreyfus
fessional success by reason Of the I'M
popularity of his side Of the case.

The Vandalia railroad a part of the
Pennsylvania system, has begun
wedding out of employees who are indul-
gent of strong drink. This is sensible
and effective temperance work. A
drunken railroad man is very much out
of place, and he ought to be out of
place where he endangers the lives of
others.

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
In the early part Of the civil war, and
particularly when our army was in Vir-
ginia thousands of former slaves came
tiocking within the Union lines, and as
the government had made no provision
for them our commanders were puzzled
to know what to do with them, as they
were not allowed to make them useful
in building trenches or Notifications.
or in any way assist our army in fight
ing their former masters, our govern
ment being anxious to ignore the fact
that the negro question had anything to
do with the war. But as the problem
had to be settled General r. f, Butler
wrote to the War department asking
what was to be done with these contra
band of war, and he also suggested that
the able-bodied men be formed into reg
iments and at least used in building
entertainments. But many men in the
north and many soldiers in the field
We're bitterly opposed to having negro
soldiers They were finally organized
made good soldiers and did noble and
gallant service on many hard fought
battlefield
The following lines, written by Major
Halpin, under the nom de plume of
Private Miles OReilly" did much to-
ward reconclliing our white soldiers to
having negro soldiers in the field.

Mr.. Hales, an Australian, reports that
the troubles of Lord Roberts with his
Transportation are largely due to his OK
wagon teams. He thinks that the pack
horse of the Australian bushman should
be substituted for them. Australia, per-
haps, presents greater difficulties to the
traveller than any other country inhab-
tied by white men. Hence her miners,
shearers and stockholders, who, of neces-
sty, are continually on the move, are
past masters in the art of covering
vast distances rapidly and effectively.
Each man provides himself with two
useful horses, both broken into saddle
and to pack-sadde One carries HIM
self and his blankets, or weight of
about 1872 pounds. Each horse, therefore,
bears a similar burden A bushman so
equipped can go almost anywhere, rid
ing one horse and leading the other.

is the statement issued by President
Mitchell on behalf of the striking mine
workers:
Hazleton. Pa.-Reports received al
our Office from Districts Nos. ], and =
of the anthracite coal region show that
there have been great accesslons tc
the ranks of the strikers. In District
No. Z (Hazleton region) not less than
1500 mine workers who mined failed to
renort for work, thus increasing the
total number on strike from 10000 to
1900. ,,
In District No. 9 (SchuylkilD our
forces have been augmented by 450e
mine workers, in addition to the 10000
reported. ~ :,
THE situation in District No. ]
uackawanna-W yoming) is practically
fhe same as the first day of the strike,
sauly 200 men remaining at work. To-
tai number of men idle, $4,000.
From every section of the an
thracite region reports indicate that
much dissatisfaction prevails among
those who have up to this time failed
to participate in the strike, and We
confidently expect that the number al
work will grow less with each succeed
ing day until the mines shall be com
pletely closed.

Pistol, Persuaded the Awakened Pas
sengers to Hand Over Their Vaiuabies-
He Exchanged Few Shots With Con-

Spokane, Wash. Especially Single
handed, masked robber held up the
west-bound passenger train on the
Northern Pacific at one o'clock in the
morning, and succeeded in getting
away with about $500 in cash, several
watches and a quantity Of jewelry.
The robbery occurred after the train
left Athol, Idaho, and the lone, robber
left the train at Rathdrum. The hold
UP was evidently carefully planned,
and was executed with cool delibera-
ton which showed the robber thor
oughly understood his business. Until
he left the train few Of the passengers
realized that only one man was In the
plot Conductor Cunning was the only
person on the train who offered seri-
Gus resistance, and few shots from
the robbers gun effectually silenced
the trainman. AS the robber stepped
off the trian at Rathdrum the conduc-
tor came out of the tourist car and
fred twice at the robber. The latter
returned the fire, clipping a piece OF
leather off the conductors hat. NO
one was hurt during the holdup, but
every occupant Of three cars was ter
rorized. The man boarded the train
at Sand Point, Idaho, where short
stop was made. He is described as
being little over five feet in height, OF
slight build, had light mustache and
wore a dark suit Of clothes, mask and
O. SLOUGH hat. After the train left
Athol he gained the rear Of the second
Pullman sleeper and at once began op
erations. From bunk to bunk he work
ed. waking up the sleepers and de-
handing their vsluables, while cover
ing them with a formidable-lookine
pistol.
Upon his arms he carried a short
sack. made of coat sleeve. For some
reason he didn't use the sack, but slip
ped money and valuables into hls
| pockets.
After cleaning up both Pullmans the
robber entered the tourist car. Here
the occupants began to scream with
terror, and attracted the attention OF
the conductor, who was In the forward
mart of the coach. He came down the
aisle, and the robber backed out OF the
car door and stepped off the platform
as the train was pulling into Hatn
drum. Drawing his revolver, the con
| ductor fired twice at the man, who a.
once fired three shots at the conductor
The latter beat hasty retreat into thu
car. The robber escaped before tn'
alarm could be given to the few PEG
ple at the Rathdrum station.

TO increase in volume. Within the
week six steamships, carrying approx
mately $4,000 tons of POcahontas coal
have sailed. The Spanish steamship
Begona took full cargo for the Brit

The Italian steamship Citta di Messina
took a cargo for Messina, the Italian

the British steamship Strathord one
for Nagasaki, the British steamship

count have, so far as known, been
made. Much of the coal, it appears, IS
for commercial purposes, but good
deal of it will be burned by warships.
