Philadelphia, May Mime work
ers throughout the entire anthracite
coal regions Of Pennsylvania, To the
number of 145,000, formally began
their struggle yesterday for increased
wages and shorter hours. Never in
the history of hard coal mining has a
tieup been SO complete, not one of the
357 collieries in IA. territory being in
operation. Thei - every Indication
FOR the belief tac. the suspension,
which was to cover only the first three
days Of the week. will be made perma-
1ent by the miners general conven-
tion which will meet at Hazelton on
Wednesday. Absolute quiet prevails
everywhere. In pursuance of the re-
quest of the district executive boards
which met jointly at Scranton last
week, all the local unions throughout
the region met and elected delegates
to the Hazelton convention. 1t is sig
nificant that in every issue where a
vote of the "locaI' became public prop
erty the ballot showed a decided MAJ
jority for permanent strike unless
the operators grant the demands.
Predictions are made that if 1t is
decided on Wednesday to continue the
strike. the struggle will be longer and
more bitter than was that of 1900,
which lasted six weeks.
The coal companies in the various
parts Of the region have already made
preparations for a siege. Coal train
crews and other employees numbering
several thousand not identified with
the mine workers union have been laid
of until further notice. Some Of the
companies have also brought their
mules to the surface and placed them
in pasture.
President Mitchell expressed him
self as well satisfied with the way the
men responded to the call for sus-
pension of work.

the evil Of cutting prices and doing work
1t any price to secure it. This leaves
the field to THE OBSERVER and the Reg

The papers were never so filled with ad- vertisements of remedies that will cure every known disease, as they are today; these are invariably accompanied by let ters from people. testifying in the strong est terms to the virtue and merit of the particular preparation advertised; but be- cause so much is claimed for the medi- cine it has come to the point where most readers regard such testimonials as pure fakes" and made up out of whole cloth
 We are glad, however, to veuch for the reliability of the following from MT. Wm. Lichtenwalter, proprietor of the largest printing house in Canton. Ohio, regarding the Pyramid Pile Cure, for which nothing Is claimed except that 1t will cure any and every form of Piles.
 For several months past I have re- ceived so many inquiries from sufferers asking if my testimonial is authentic, that am inclined to send in a bill to you for postage and stationery.
 It is now two years since I was last troubled, and my rectum is as clear and clean as any man who never had piles, al- though I suffered with protruding. bleed- ing and internal piles for twenty-seven years will not attempt to detail the agony I suffered. being too happy to say I believe I am cured, after two years Of evidence,
 What will cure one man will sometimes not cure anothor: whether 1t was the Pyramid Pile Cure that cured me- l can not say; but I have been free from piles for two years after using your treatment. I leave sufferers to draw their own con- ciusions.
 I will answer any communication that a sufferer may ask. and will refer to any business house, bank or manufacturer of Canton. Ohio. concerning my identity. among whom have lived for forty-eight years

The Poll Tax.
Birmingham News.

toAi NeWSs
 No man has to pay any poll tax in Ala bama No collector will chase him to get 1t mo man will demand it of him. The schools of Alabama get the Doll tax money. and it is really contribution to the schools that every man ought to make. whether he has children or not, or whether the law requires it or not.
 NO man within the poll tax age can vote without making that contribution to the school fund. Not only that. but he must keep his poll tax contribution up to date and its past clear It is better and cheaper and easier to pay to the tax col lector every year the $50 for the schools rather to allow it to accumulate to 8 or to $45O.
 It is really wonderful that any man should object to making this contribu- uon. Usually the man who objects to it Is a man who does not pay any other taxes, and he does not willingly consent to give one day a year to tNe education of his own or his neigh hor's children. It is a privilege to give this small amount and it was wise and vote.

IMPORTANCE OF COMMISSION. FRS, COURTS.

The Clayton Record has d timely edito- rial on the importance of the Courts of County Commissioners under the condi- dons inaugurated by the new Constitu- ton. and adds:
 In some respects they will have to dis charge the duties of a Legislature. and in the future. no doubt. these positions will be more eagerly sought after. Be yond question, the best men to be found should be elected for the rights of the people will be more than ever committed to their hands.
 Even under the old system, the import arce of good Commissioners was not as generally recognized as 1t should have been. In some counties there are Boards of Revenue composed of men appointed by the Governor, and as a general thing the appointees are men we'll fitted for the position. but in most of the counties 1t is different. The members of the court are elected by the people. and it is no libel to say that sometimes men are elected who are not at all qualified for the im- portant duties 6evolving on them. The ofice of County Com missioner. even with its former limited powers. was really the most important, to the psople of each county, of any which had to be filled by popular vote. The entire revenue of the county. as we'll as the question of roads. bridges and other public works was prac- ticaliy controlled by this court. In short, 1t is virtually the guardian of the entire >e nAx, nd vvtfn it rests the question of light or heavy taxation. It is singular that the average voter was not more solicitous- about get ting good Commissioners.
 Under the new Constitution, the powers and jurisdiction of the Commissioners Courts are vastly increased. They are really miniature Legislatures, and their members should be selected accordingly. Any one who will read Section 1o4 of the Constitution will see that the Legislature is prohibited from enacting any species of local legislation. The many laws af- fecting individuals. municipalities. private corporations and the like. which have heretofore consumed majority of the time and attention of the General Assem- bly, will no longer come before that body, It must all be done by the courts. and by the local governments, and for this reason good and qualified men are more than ever necessary. A man who asks the position of County Commissioner should at least be as thoroughly qualified as a member of the Legislature is. and in some respects a higher degree of com potency is necessary. for this court can really be of more injury or benefit to the citizens than the Legislature. No man should be voted for merely for his per sonal popularity, or his location. or as compliment to him, but men of sound judgment. good business qualifications and known honesty and firmness. are tho men to select. The makeup of a Commission CTS Court may mean a great deal to the people of the county and they should keep that fact in mind.

IT WAS A FAIR ELECTION.

We have watched the State papers with the very closest attention since the cleo ticn, and we think 1t safe to state that the election was a fair one Some com plaints of irregularities at some voting places have been made. but that Is neith- CT unusual nor surprising. Our system of cor ducting elections is somewhat com plics ted, and that the voters in some in- stances failed to comply with the strict requirements of the law and of the regu- laticns is not to be wondered at. Besides. it is not always the case that the men acting as managers are those who are best qualified for the position. That these two causes should result in irregularities Is neither surprising nor discreditable. If there is any cause for wonderment 1t Is that there were so few failures to follow the demands of the law.
 We have noticed few, and very few, complaints, or rather charges. of unfair ness and of intentional wrong. but we are both surprised and gratihed that these charges are so rare and of such compara- lively small consequence. We are sur prised, because this was the first cleo tion under the new order, and it had been freely predicted that the same complaints of swindling and of ballot-box stuf1ng which have disgraced our elective system would be heard in connection with the first election under the new Constitution. We must admit that we had some fears that those who had acquired regulations az expert manipulators of election returns would not be willing to entirely abandon their practices, and that the same old charges of corruption would have to be listened to and discussed.
 And we are immensely gratifed over the result because 1t proves just what we argued all along, that under the new or der of things in Alabama there could be no excuse or justification for even the least unfairness or dishonesty. and that we had faith in the honesty and fairness of the Democrats of Alabama We claimed that as all real or apparent ex- cuse for elective crookedness had been removed there should be none and would be none We were banking on the belief that the people generally, and the Demo- crats especially, were tired of 1t and would hail with delight the opportunity to put 1t behind them forever. If, as be- fore stated, there were some instances of l crookedness, they were very rare, and only prove that such reform as was de- | manded could not be made absolute at one effort.
 We are both gratifed at the result and proud to know that our confidence in the people was not misplaced. Henceforward, if we do not have elections fairly con- ducted and the results fairly reported, it will be the fault of the people them- selves. With no excuse for fraud, the people should see that none is allowed.

Letters to The Editor.
A Fair Question.

Monte omery, Ala, Nov. p, 1902. Editor The Advertisers:
 The Legislature which Is to assemble in January will be one of the most i'm portant in the history of the State, and great care should be exercised by the members in the election of a speaker. We all know that the Speaker can so form the committees as to kill almost any bill which may be introduced. Re- cent occurrences in the Legislature of Georgia have shown this danger.
 One of the most important bills to be introduced in the Legislature of Alabama, will be the child labor bill, which has been before the people for the past two years, and l contend that any measure which has been so thoroughly discussed as this one has. should be reported back to the House SO that all of the people S representatives may vote on 1t. There are two distinguished gentlemen aspiring for the Speakership, and think 1t would be good idea for them to let the people know how they stand on this question of child labor legislation.

A pIFF1cuLr PART TO PLAY.

As we view 1t. Uncle Joe Cannon has xhe lead for the Speakership of the next House, but we are anxious to know how kremes of his party on the tarin ques- kion. Cannon is a Western man, being From Illinois, and there can be no doubt that the sentiment in the West among both Republicans and Democrats is for karif revision. In the East the recent elections indicate that they are generally sn favor of leaving the tariff as it is. How can Cannon satisfy both sides? It Rs true, the election is more than year of. and something may occur in the in- teryal that will relieve the delicacy of khe situation. but he may not be left at liberty to keep mum so long. And on this subject we note that The Chicago Tribune, which has never been a believer sn . high tariff. gives this sort of pledge eor its cAndidate:
 The question has been raised whether MT. Cannon will consent to or will oppose nariff revision-whether he is determined ao stand pat or will throw no undue Instructions in the way of tariff reforms.
 
 , Bwer. He will obey the will of the House. He will give expression to it's wishes. He will respond promptly to the mature !. Judgment of a majority of his party asso- ciates.
 That, we presume is about the best that ran be said by The Tribune, but we sub init that it is a backboneless pledge. The Speaker of the House has a great deal of influence, and can have much to do with the course of his party in legtsla- lkion. Will the position on the tariff ques- tion which The Tribune assigns him be entirely satisfactory to the believers in the present system? The Minneapolis Journal thinks 1t is something to be as- sured that they may have a Speaker who, ayen if not favorable to revision, will at least have the good sense to keep his fingers away from the saw
 That would indicate that The Journal thinks there Is no doubt as to the senti-
 ment for modifying the present tariff, but we know that some of the strongest Re- pubncans in the country are opposed to any form of tariff tinkering" as they call it, and they may refuse to support a candidate who will do nothing more for them, and will promise nothing more. than merely to keep his fingers away from the saw" They may want a candi- date who will use his power and influence to keep the saw from doing anything They may demand a promise from him that if he is elected, he will aid them to block all tariff legislation, or they
 may refuse to support him. He car hardly be elected without some Easterr support, and if the Western men demand that he join them in their tariff revision scheme, and the Eastern men demand that he join them in their fight against 1t, he will be in a dilemma. He may bt sharp enough to pleas both wings of his party, but it looks like a difficult job.
