THE MINERS HOUSEHOLD.
From the Wilkes Barre News.


Right we'll does it become the miners OF this
state to frown upon the yellow newspapers which,
have been picturing them as poor and debased
and degraded and as never having the heart
nor the courage to afford their children any OF
the advantages Of life. One has only to look
at the lawers Of the Luzerne county bar to SEE
that out of a miners home has come a good
deal Of the brains and the energy and tho patrl.
otic Americanism which exerts its force in the
community One may glance over. the lists OF
newspaper workers to see the same thing. No.
tice the clever young singers who render the
aid Of music to the churches on Sundays and
one will be surprised to find how many OF them
have come from humble miners home. In
many miners house one will find some OF the
best and most valuable books in our language
Miss James, Of the Osterhout library, says that
the Welsh miners are the best patrons OF scien.
tifc and mathematical books.
Thriftiness, neatness, cosy home life have al.
ways been noted in many of the homes OF the
mine workers hereabout. Many a tasteful gown
and pretty bonnet, and many a graceful wearer
thereof will be found inside these humble walls.
As has been well said, the miner Of the anthra.
cite fields wants grievances redressed, but he
does not want the world to look upon him as
leading brute life or the life OF man just

faction resulting from a reelection. 1t
Is the party, not the Individual, at
whom Mr.. Spencer is striking. 1t Is
the party which, IL injury is done, will
he the victim of 1t.
Whether the Republican nominee
shall be elected or defeated Is person-
ally a matter of minor Importance; but
1t Is a matter Of the most vital i'm
portance that this great Industrial dis
trict should be represented In the ma
tlonal congress by man in full SYM
pathy with the admirable policies of
the Mckinley administration; on terms
OF fellowship with the leaders of legis-
lation; and sufficiently familiar with
the ways and means OF congressional
activity to accomplish for his constl-
tuents those things which fall within
the congressman's sphere of duty.
Let Mr. Spencer so ahead with his
stump candidacy IL he so desires. 1t
will afford him entertainment and oc-
cupation. But let no Republican with
