There were fewer cases of violence

to and from work. The presence of the
increased number of watchmen and

CONCERNED ABOUT THE TRoU-

Hazleton, Pa, Sept. 21.-The Lehigh
region to-day seemed to concern itself
more about the possibility of trouble
than any other one thing. Wherever
one went in this district the belief was
general that an outbreak will occur
There was, however, no outward evil
dence anywhere that such thing is
likely. This feeling was no doubt pro-
duced by the disturbance at Shenan-
doah and the arrival in Hazleton and
on the north side of large number of
deputies who are said to be prepared
for any emergency.
WATCHMEN INCREASED.
1t was known that all the coal COM

York. He was unable to be present
ana his paper was read by the secre-
tury.
MIR. GOLFERS SPEECH.
Mr.. Coler's paper was on Danger of
the Commercial Spirit in Politics."
He asserted his belief in our system
OF government, its plan and endurance,
but in recent years, he said, our ma
terial progress, that should safeguard
the permanence of our institutions has
in reality been the nursery of the
SraNest dangers that confront the peo-
pie.
y spirit of commercialism has invad-
ed our politics and our craftsmanship.
Public interests have been sacrificed to
private gain.
Men have discovered that there is
money in the business of politics. and
with many of them their greed is
greater than their public spirit.
The root of this evil, which is so dam
gerous to our institutions, may be
found in the mistakes of our system of
politics. Our machinery for the main
tenance of political divisions has be-
come SO vast and complicated that
large sums of money are required to
keep ii in motion.
Every trust in this country to-day is
In whole or part Il creation of dishon-
est commerciallsm in politics. Honest
governments conducted on business
principles do not grant to combina-
lions of men, or. capital special privi-
leges or powers that are denied to the
Individual citizen. Such legislation Is
radical and dangerous departure
from the true spirit of our system OF
government.
In conclusion Mr.. Coler said
The remedy for the evil of corrupt
politics is to arouse an intelligent pub
lie opinion. The masses of the people
N
is why ! believe In them. Aroused to
n full knowledge of their rights and
the wrongs they now suffer, they will
apply remedy, and once aroused, no
political machine or combination OF
politicians can stop them
The convention closed with the read
ing of a paper by Nj. n. Baker. of New
York, on Municipal accounting
which was discussed by James b. Ca
hoon, of Syracuse. N. Y.
