who fined a physician $40 because he
remained away from court to save the
life OF child who was suffering from
diphtheria, and who declared that II
was better that a patient should die
than that the commonwealth should be
treated with contempt, has become un-

TRADE OF THE WEEK

X. q. Dun a. 90. make this review of
the trade of the week:
"The week in general business has
been without striking new features, but
in this respect the outcome has been
favorable Not one of the great indus
tries finds any scarcity Of orders for
goods, and business is done at prices
which show a slight tendency to rise.
except in textiles, which have been af-
fected by the reduction of 10 to 20 per
cent. in the seasons opening prices by
the American Woolen Company. This
cut Is expected to be indefinitely con-
tinued. Developments in the money
market, however indicate that the dry
goods trade is preparing for a season
Of activity, and the new wooden prices
are not lower than most buyers ex-
pected. There is nothing discouraging
in the slight decline in commodity
prices from January 1 to February 1,
and railroad earnings continue large,
increasing Ill per cent for three weeks
Of January over last year, and 1912 Per
cent. over 1899. New York bank clear
ings for the week gained 1873 per cent.
over 1900, and outside New York the
gain is 1913 per cent. There is a loss Of
A per cent outside New York for the
week, compared with 1899, but it is
due to the fact that February settle
ments were included in that year. Elk
ports of merchandise for the fourth
week of January at this port make a
better comparison than earlier weeks,
showing an increase Of $2,673,614, and
making the months total about equal
TO that of 1900. Imports, however, ex-
coed last years figures, $3,973,O13, for
the month"
Bradstreet's sums up the situation
as follows:
Business as a whole has been of a
large volume this week. Cold and
stormy weather has unquestionably
stimulated retail business in boots
shoes, rubber goods and clothing, and
this hW aided in tightening the stocks
carried by retailers as a result of
mild Winter weather heretofore. More
has been doing, too, in wholesale lines
ON Spring account, and business In
this respect is classed as fair
Sole leather is active and firm, and
some goods are half a cent higher Calf
skins are in limited supply. Measured
by the earnings Of railroads, the volume
Of the cOuntry's business is certainly
in excess of a year ago, while bank
clearings, though, of course, swelled
by heavy stock speculation, show i'm
mense gains, and, in fact, exceed all
records for the first month of the year
Among manufacturing industries
rather more irregularity is to be noted
Foundry iron is weaker, while some
finished steel products are higher.
"Woolens are slow of sale, and the
squeeze in raw cotton, though tempo
rary, has not helped converters, who
have to pay more for their material
but get no more for their finished pro
ducts. Heavy cuts in rubber goods
point TO coming sharp competition il
this industry. Staple prices are littl,
changed.
Coffee, statistically considered, il
weak, but the late steady decline ap
pears TO have been checked for the mo
ment."

If the Daily Republican is 80 anxious
for the election of two Republican
United States senators, 1t should de-
mand that National Committeeman
Addlcks cease blocking the election,
and not encourage him to continue his
present ruinous course by persisting
In its senseless vaporings. 1t is no Sc
cret that the editorial conscience and
Republicanism OF the Daily Republican
passed into the keeping of the Ad-
dicksites several months ago, and.i IL is
perfectly useless for the paper to hide
behind the Republican bush and at
tempt to advance AddiclSs argument
with Republican coloring. A Repub-
lican national committeeman who win
break his pledges and block the cleo
ton Of two Republican senators mere
ly because he cannot be one OF them
is deserving Of the severest condemna-
tion Of every Republican in the United

It is matter Of regret that the Ross
McNulty contest should have develop
ed such unsayory evidence from the
mouth Of the man Goodwin, a witness
fer the contestant. Bogus affidavits
and efforts TO induce a material witt
ness TO leave the State until after the
hearing OF the case we're calculated to
bring the contest into disrepute and
give it an inglorious ending. The mem
bers of the Senate committee sat as
judges, and it was their duty to ascer-
tain the whole truth and render their
finding accordingly. For a witness for
the contestant to make such startling
statements, unimpeachable by those
who summoned him, is a shock to the
community, and one which has caused
a decided stir from one end of the State
TO the other. IL is unfortunate for the
cause OF MIR. Ross that his lawyers put
Goodwin on the stand. and he manifest
ed his wisdom by withdrawing his con
test for Senator McNulty's seat.

PITTSBURG, Pa, July 24-The eXplana-

headquarters to-day was given in the fol-

ragged tramp, President I. ]. Shaffer. the
head of the Amalgamated Association,
slipped into Wellsville this afternoon, re-
mained here an hour in conference with
President Chappell and other officials and
boarded the evening train at East Liver
pool to return to Pittsburg. Not a half
dozen persons in Wellsville knew tonight
that the chief of the workers organization
was in town. On the same train with Mr.
Shaffer from Pittsourg came nine nonunion
men from Apollo and Duncansviile. five of
whom evaded the strikers committee and
went to work in the mill here, while the
other four, after going through an expert
ence with the loo strikers which at one time
seemed likely TO end in violence agreed
not TO work in the mill and returned 10
Pittsburg.
president Shaffer would not state the
object OF his mission to Wellsville. 1t was
minated that he was here TO outline the
policy of the strikers in view OF the threat
ened Injunction proceedings. He made this
statement just before leaving East Liver
pool: There will be no injunction. think
L have accomplished much. No Injunction
will be granted unless our men resort 10
violence. unless we coerce and intimidate
men into remaining away from the mill.
Thus far our men have violated no law.
1.-The experience Of the nonunion men on
their arrival here assumed a very threaten
ing aspect for time, but the quickneSs or
five Of them got them into the company
offices almost before the train had come 10
a halt. The strikers had received notice OF
the coming of the men and met the train
100 strong. When the nonunion men
tumbled off the smoker they were at once
recognized and surrounded. No violence
was attempted, but the greeting of cat calls
and throwing out of ugly epithets was CAL
culated TO put the newcomers in anything
but an easy frame of mind. In the excite
ment five of the men worked their way
through the crowd and into the companys
offices, where they were safe. The four
who were left behind succumbed to the
arguments of the strikers and returned TO
Pittsburg on the evening train. The i'm
preston Is gaining ground that nonunion
men will be brought here at once in suffi-
cient number to main the plant in full.
