We have not touched upon local
politics since the convention. a
good ticket was placed in nomi-
nation and we have left it for your
consideration. You will want a
continuation of the present
economical administration of the
state and county. The county
finances we're never in better con-
dition than at the present time. 1t
is with "a great deal Of pride We
say this. It has all been
done through the careful manage
ment Of the men placed in office,
and who looked after the business
of the county as they did their
own. These men are all worthy
of your support at the polls, The
financial statement as published in
these columns two weeks ago, if
studied carefully, gives a good fl
nancial showing, better than most
counties in the state. The candi-
dates on the republican ticket need
not be ashamed of the record made
Now, with a careful consideration
of the present existing conditions
we know that the entire Republi-
can ticket will be elected from top
to bottom.

Chicago, Ill. Sept 9.-Sentiments of
a radical natuer, in the censure of
President Baer, Governor Stone of
Pennsylvania, Presient Rooevelt and
mlneowners generally and blaming
them for the condition now existing in
Pennsylvania, We're applauded at a
meeting ut the First Methodist church
Sunday night. Immediate relief arbi-
tratin of the difficulties between the
miners and the corporations was the
keynote of the meeting and resolutions
appealing to Governor Stone to act
were adopted. The meeting was the
result OF the appeal of the committee
of 1870, organized by the local carpen-
ters' union week ago. Bishop Fallows
presided, and among the speakers
were Judge Dunno and DR.. Thomas of
the Peoples church.

William Craig, the secret srvice man.
who WIS killed while accompanying
President Roosevelt on his tour Of the
New England states, were held here. Tha
services were conducted by the Rev. Will

made in OakwooI cemetery. and the pail
bearers were all colleagues of Craig. in

Coal Mines Start,

Wilkesbarre, Pa. Sept Sat the close
OF the nth week of the miners strike
both sides to the contest say they are
satisfied with the situation. The op-
orators state that the output of coal last
week was greater than any other week
since the strike began. The strikers, on
the other hand, assert through their Of
ficers that the efforts of the big COM
panies to resume operations have been q
signal failure.
At the headquarters of the strikers Il
was admitted that the mines are pro-
is so small as to be hardly worth men,
ton. President Mitchell Is just as de-
termined as ever and said all talk of the
miners going back to work was without
foundation.
A caven covering 20 acres over the
Payne mine at Dorranceton took place
and caused great excitement. The caveIn
affects some valuable property in Wyom-
ing street, the foundations of some Of the
mansions in this thoroughfare having
been cracked badly. Large fissures also
are to be seen in the roadway. A further
cavein is expected, and a number Of men
have been placed on guard to give the
alarm should the earth sink still further.
The cavein is due, 1t Is said. to the fact
that water accumulated in the workings
while It was idle and rotted the timbers,
causing the roof in many places to fall In.
Pillars also have given way, and this
weakened the surface.

TRADE REPORT.

New York;. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly
Review of Trade last week says:
Steady progress is reported in trade and
industry. Distribution Of merchandise Is
heavy and healthy tone is evident Do
mestic conditions continue much better
than those existing abroad, and home
trade received more attention than for
eign commerce. Farm products have ap-
preciated in value on account of less ia,
vorable weather, and producers will be
fully compensated for any decrease In
quantity by the higher quotations. Earn
ings of railways during August were S.6
per cent larger than a year ago, and 1879
per cent in excess of 1900.
Wheat is coming forward freely, though
receipts do not equal the abnormally
