Power is Anxious.

Colonel Power, Secretary Of State, is
taking no chances on a clerical or Illegal
error being committed with the Jones
amendments to the Constitution pro-
viding a new method Of distributing the
common school fund such as those
which occurred when the Noel elective
judiciary amendment was submitted
two years ago. Colonel Power is per
sonally supervising every formal step
through which the proposed amendment
must pass before it is submitted to the
people at the November election, and if
the amendment should pass there is
hardly any likelihood that. it will fur
nish mental food for theSupreme Court to
digest, as has been the case with nearly
all Constitutional amendments in recent
yeats.
There is considerable likelihood,
however, that unless the friends of the
amendment start campaign of educa-
ton in its behalf the measure will be
defeated at the November election in a
manner somewhat similar to the defeat
of the Noel amendment. Very few
persons seem to understand the exact
purport of the amendment and many
voters viii help to defeat its passage by
failure to vote and thus reducing the
possibility Of its receiving two. thirds
of the voters voting" as required by
law. Considerable hostility to the
amendment is expected from the delta
country as the representatives and Sen.
ators from this section fought the
measure when it was before the Legis-
lature last winter, and unless Senator
Jones and the other friends OF the
amendment commence to put forth
some effort in its tehalf it seems doom.

ARBITRATION WANTED

MlHE LABOR TROUBLES now existing in
fss the anthracite coal regions between the mi
ners and the operators bodies anything and every
thing but good to both sides of the controversy.
The miners are represented as willing to submit
their grievances to arbitration by disinterested
board, while the operators are said TO be unwill-
ing to act in harmony with such a suggestion.
One point, in which both sides seem to agree, is
that neither party wants strike. Yea, millions
of others deplore such situation: these are mer-
chants, who supply the necessaries of life to the
miners the people, who use coal for domestic and
manufacturing purposes, and many others whom
a strike will effect, both directly and indirectly.
To the striker, there must follow want and de-
prvation to the operator, loss of millions of dol
lars, and, if the strike be prolonged, trade will
turn towards the bituminous regions. If both
Labor and Capital were compelled, BY LAW, to
submit their differences for settlement to Board
of Arbitrators strikes could not result.
If the published reports are true, the miners
have real grievances, which should be adjusted.
They claim that they must dig from 800 to 800
pounds more than gross ton, are often subjected
to a reduction of ~ per cent. for poor quality,
and are compelled to pay $500 per keg for pow
der that costs Sl.0O at wholesale, and sells for
$3.50 per keg at retail elsewhere.
What the operators grievances are has not
been made known. Such general strike works
to the detriment OF all. 1t is to be hoped that
differences may yet be adjusted, before serious loss
results to millions of people

A GOOD RECORD

n HE September issue Of the American News
w paper Directory has just been received at
this office. After making careful survey Of
the 1000 newspapers Of Pennsylvania, we find
that only ten country weeklies have larger cir
culation for the year ending June 80, 1900, than
the Middleburgh Posi-. In that list Of ten are
such weeklies as the Chester Times, published in
city, really, three in Chambersburg, the Lewis
burg Saturday Ne~s, and five other newspapers,
all published in very large towns and very large
counties. This circulation statement is backed
up with an affidavit, hence, the record of the Posi-
being published is small town and compar-
ativey small county, with only 10 weeklies in the
State out-circulating it-gives It an enviable po-
tion, and places it in the front rank Of advertis
ing mediums. And the Posi- is still climbing up.

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT

IN LAST weeks issue of the Bellefonte Gazette
j Editor Harter gives his opinion concerning
resolutions of respect. He says
1--WE have been on a committee appointed
to draft resolutions of respect, and, promptly
and without effort we took pair of scissors,
cut out the last batch of resolutions, changed
the name of the deceased and added the name
of the committee and the work was done. So
when YOU 90 to draft resolutions of respect,
record them first on the minutes of the asso-
ciation then write them plainly on one side
of the paper, dot your Is and cross your t's,
fold them up carefully, put them in an en-
velope and hrop them into the store"
Do not impose upon your devoted and depart
ed friend anything so cold, heartless and mean
ingess as Resolutions of respect" Ifyour friend
is worthy of anything he is entitled to hand
some memorial tribute in the shape of the life of
the departed, embracing birth, marriage, descend
ants or immediate relatives, also his ancestry, in
briet, and his funeral. No one ever reads reso-
lutions OF respect except the family, the commit
tee, the printer and the proof-reader. Give the
deceased nice sketch, point out his or her good
qualities, relate facts, and it will be welcomed in
to the columns Of any newspaper in the land.
Newspaper space shoulHnot be wasted on res
oliious oirespect, but, worse still, your depart
ed friend is deserving Of something better-some-
thing life-like-something that shows real devo-
ton, instead Of the thread-bare, souless "resolu
tions of respect.
Upon former occasion THE Posi- explained
why it did not care to publish resolutions Of re-
spect. and the question why has been frequently
asked since. The Posr does not publish reso-
lutions of respect because it's readers are entitled
to something better and more creditabe to them
when they are dead, than mere words that have
no meaning stereotyped phraseology that has
been applied to untold numbers Of others. Res
oluians of respect are an eye-sore to both editor
and reader, but good obituary is always appre-
cisted, and will be cheerfully published in these
columns, if sent in before the grass grows green
on the grave Of the departed one.
