Washington, Aug. 10, 1901.
The adage abou' brd, that can
sing and won't sing should be equally
applicable to pabic officials. Al least,
that is the unanimous verdict of a
JOINT committee from the American
Anti Trust League and the Knights
OF Labor, and mos; unprejudiced men
are likely TO vote aye. These gentle
men know that the Attorney General
OF the U. S. can do his duty, by pro.
ceeding against the big steel trust for
having violated the Sherman anti.
trust law, and they are determined to
make HIM do 1t or know the reason
why. They are proceeding in a bust
ness like way; have employed two
lawyers--ex Attorney General Mo
nett, OF Ohio, and Mr.. A. A. Lips
comb, of Washington, to collect evl-
dence of the violation of the Sherman
antl-tr ust law an submit it to the
Attorney General with a demand that
he begin legal proceeding IN the name
OF the U. 5. against the trust. Speak
ing ofthelr intentions, Mr.. II. b. Mar
TIN, Chairman of the joint committee,
SAID: ain the event of the complaint
being blocked in the Attorney Gen.
erals Office, or if he does not consider
1t advisable to act in the matter, we
have decided to lay the papers in the
case before the President of the u. S.
In fact, we are prepared to take steps

pushed to extremes, but it is doubt
ful If either of the last named actions
Will be necessary, and we are proceed
ing with the idea that there will be no
bitches OF any description" They are
also preparing to bring legal actions
against the steel trust under the laws
OF the States in which it carries on its
business. The action of the committee
is receiving endorsements from every
direction and some of the n have been
accompanied by the strongest evl-
dence OF genuineness-cash contrlbu-

Hotel on sugarloaf Mountain.
A movement is on foot. fostered

A movement is on foot, fostered by
a number of capitalists from Halle
ton, says the Sentinel, toward the es.
tablishment of big summer resort
hotel on Sugarloaf mountain, near
Conyngham. The mountain is situa.
ted about mile and half from the
terminus of the Conyngham branch
of the proposed new traction road,
and the road will be extended that
distance. The plans now under con.
slderation contemplate the surmount-
ing the mountain by cars by means of
spiral ascension.
The plan, engineers say, is feasible.
Should the project be carried out the
place will take first rank among the
inland resorts of the East. From the
summit there is an unobstructed view
OF many miles of the most beautiful
scenery, and on a clear day, with the
aid of glass, Wilkes Barre is clearly
dlscernible. Plans are under way to-
ward the forming of stock company
and complete and definite arrange
ments will be made within the next
fortnight

Beware of Parks.

Providentlal lain storms, says one
of our nearby exchanges, were the
means of protecting the innocent from
the curses that generally lurk around
parks last Saturday. The degradation
of the parks work both ways-they
drain the purses of the aged parents
and the means in many instances of
bringing blush of shame and dis
grace TO many a respectable home.
Parks situated on the SUBMITS of hills
IN dense forests, will not add to the
good morals of any civilized com
munity. Newspapers which uphold
and encourage those damnable hell
holes, If we must use the expression
TO express our contempt for them, for
free transportation, are a curse and
dangerous to the public good. We
know OF mother, who with tears
streaming down her cheeks, besought
her only daughter to remain away
from the parks, but to no avail, as the
temptation was too great. The scene
was more than we could stand, to
leave It pass unnoticed.

Struck it Rich.

In the great government lottery
drawing of $1,000 claims in Oklohoma
Territory last week, Joseph McNerney
former Locust Gap boy, was one of
the most fortunate in the drawing, ne
winning claim numbered somewhere
between 1000 and 1000. The valu-
able property which this number en-
titles him can be judged from the
fact that the $1,000 claims drawn de-
creases in worth from No 1, and Joe
is consequently way up with the
leaders. McNerney, who is about IS
years OF age is unmarried and left
Locust Gap for the west r3 years ago.
For ten years he had been a resident
of Kansas City but now will be one
of the foremost landowners in the
Doom country OF Oklahoma.-ASh-

$Ioo REWARD, 500.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all It's stages, and
that is at ayrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires con
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting direct
ly upon the blood and mucous sur,
faces of the system, thereby destroy
ing the foundation of the disease, and
giving the patient strength by build
ing up the constitution and assisting
nature in doing its work. The pro-

A new system Of electric transit
known as the Gauz system will, If it
proves to be what experts claim, be
operated for about one-third less than
the present system and will lender

science is always bringing losses to
the old things that are superseded by
the new, but the improvements in

on Secretary Root to save Capt. !. &.

facturer of Plttsburg, who was con-
vlcted by court-martia of completely
in the commissary fraudsat Manila and
sentenced to three years in the mill
tary prison. at that place, to be dis
honorably discharged from the army.
E.ead's lawyers have secured pro-
mise from Secretary Root to review
the case. One of the claims of the
lawyers Is that the court martial was
irregular because nine Of its members
were officers of the regular army; that
Read being volunteer officer was
entitled to trial by court composed
exclusively OF volunteer officers. But
the strongest claim in Reads behalf is
that represented by his s'daddles dollars.
If the story that Sampson might
not appear before the Schley Court of
Inquiry was put out as feeler by the
ant'Schley gang in the Navy Depart
ment to ascertain how the public
would take some SOFT Of official juggling
that would enable Sampson to avoid
the trial which his cross examination
by "Jerry" Wilson, Schley's chief
counsel, is certain to be, as many sus-
pect, they must be thoroughly con.
vlnced by the howl it raised that the
public willnct stand for any such bus
ness as that. 1t was Sampson who
was Schley's first accuser and who
was mainly instrumental IN the forma-
tlon of the naval clique which has so
perslstently sought to ruin Schley, and
1t is Sampson who must either clear
or forever condemn himself.
the clique pretends to talk
as though Sampson had no more inter-
est in the court than any other Off
ce1 who happens to be a witness, every
mothers son of them knows that as
soon as that court gets started it will
be plain to all the world that it is
Sampson, and not Schley, who is on
trial, and it is great deal more like
ly that the report and recommends
tons of the court will be against Samp-
son than against Schley. In view of
these things it is absurd for anybody
to talk about Sampson not appearing
before the Court.
Senator Tillman, of S. c., passed
through Washington this week. In
reply to questions he expressed the
opinion that Senator McLaurin was
losing, instead of gaining strength;
that if the primary election were to be
held at this time he could not get
more than 1000 of the $4,000 votes
of the state. and that he has absolute.
ly no chance of being named for Sena-
Tor at the primary election to be held
next year.

numbed with pain. or until death relieves
them of their suffering. 1t was voted to

TEACHERS TO GO TO DETROIT.
A Local Delegation to Attend the Na
tionnI Educational Convention

A large number of Washington teachers
are making preparations to attend the
fortieth annual convention of the Ma
tional Educational Association, which will
be held In Detroit during the second week
of July. Usually there are a number of
teachers representing the District of Co
lumbia at the convention, but on account
Of reduced rates and the opportunities Of
visiting the Pan-American Exposition Of
fered the party will exceed it's former
proportions
Allan Davis, principal of the Business
High School is in correspondence with
the National Educational Association and
is making arrangements for the accom-
mediation of the Washington teachers in
Detroit. 1t Is probable that the party
from this city will go to Baltimore and
thence to Detroit on special train which
will be chartered for the Baltimore teach
ers. who will attend the convention to the
number of several hundred.
The convention will probably be attend
ed by more than fifteen thousand persons
interested in educational matters The
members of the association are divided
into two classes. associate and active. The
latter class is composed entirely of those
engaged in the profession of teaching.
ton. S. c., in July and on account of the
extremely hot weather at that time there
was an attendance of only 5000 people.
In 1893 the convention was held at Los
Angeles, where, despite the fact that the
ma jority of those who attended had to
journey across the entire continent, there
was an attendance of over u 900. Detroit
is more centrally located and there are
more liberal rates on the railroads than
on previous occasions. The programme
for the convention has not yet been COM
pleted. but will probably contain adj
dresses by prominent educators and men
prominent in the various professions. not
only on the technicalities of educational
instruction, but on matters of general
public interest. The headquarters of the
convention will be the Hotel Cadillac
Here many State organizations will open
headquarters.
a large number of Canadian teachers
will be present and the convention will
thus take on somewhat the aspect of an
international educational conference.
