Wilkesbarre. Pa. July 7.-Presidenl
Mitchell of the miners union left here
yesterday for New York. He slipped
out OF town so Unexpectedly and 81
quietly that only two or three persons
around strike headquarters knew OF
his departure. II is said he went tc

To-day opened the third month OF the
great strike. There have been many
Iumors and opinions published that
certain coal companies would win in
few days and attempt to start ur
one or more collieries The officials
OF the big companies who are willing
to talk deny all knowledge OF any at
tempt OF their respective companies
to start work. They say. however
that the number Of men applying for
work Is growing each week. Many oi
them are given employment, and the
names OF the others are placed on the
waiting list. The number OF miners
among the applicants who are apply
ing for work Is very small. and so long
as the miners themselves refrain from
going to the collieries no coal can be
mined.
Company officials who were seen
yesterday were OF the opinion that the
price Of coal during the remainder
Of this year will not go below the
present figures but on the other hand
may go higher. One superintendent
was quite emphatic in his reply. by

this year"
In addressing the stationary firemeu
Saturday afternoon President Mitch

battle OF our lives, as it means the
success or downfall Of our union in
The anthracite region. OF all the
strikes OF my recollection or OF any
that ever participated in. there
never was one that I was so confident
Of winning as this one. And let me
tell you that the day is not far away
when my words will come true.
Those iellow-workers among your
craft who refused to obey the strike
order and those few who deserted you
since will have reason to regret their
action as they will suffer greatly
when this strike is won or lost, as
have yet to meet the man who prefers
a traitor to a good, upright, honest
man. and those men who are now get

scorn by their employers, and one
thing that wish to impress upon you
people, and that is. this great strike
will never be settled with my consent
only on condition that each and every
man that left his place with us in our
battle shall be returned to his former
position: otherwise, there shall be nc
settlement that will permit discrimi
nation for taking an active part In

A DEMOCRAT RIGHT.

Mr.. Ogden T. Crowson, editor of the
Burlington News, was an unsuccessful
candidate before the Alamance Demo-
cratic County Convention for Register
of Deeds. In his paper this week he
takes philosophical view of the matter
after pleasantly reviewing the contest,
closing with these words:
1--WE are in a good humor with all
mankind and wish everybody happiness,
and hope now that we were defeated,
that they will forget any unkind feelings
that they may have had in any way
against us or against any others. None
of us can afford to foster malice. Let us
all support the ticket nominated and
work for the election of every man on it,
putting the success of the Democratic
party above everything else. Let's be
what we are, and be men,"
That is the spirit that ought to actuate
all men who are unsuccessful in their
ambitions. 1t takes moral courage, de-
votion to principle, and large meas
ure of unselfshness, but it is these quail
tiles alone that make the truest and best
men. Mr.. Crowson is an editor-hc is
accustomed to disappointments and has
learned to fight for others than for him
self Let all others emulate his example.

EDUCATIONAL CAMPAIGN IN
WILKES.

The Wilkesboro Chronicle speaks in
warm praise of the addresses by Prof.
]. B. Carlyle and Mr.. R. B. White at
the educational rally at Boomer Wilkes
county. 1t says that Prof. Carlyle held
the audience spell-bound for an hour
and a half and 1.-The crowd listened with
rapt attention for near an hour to the
eloquent appeal by Hon. r. B. White"
1t gives the result in these words:
"A hand primary was taken just be-
fore the close of the meeting which
showed almost the entire population of
the district in favor of local taxation.
1t is evidenced that much good was done
by the meeting
Elsewhere the Chronicle gives this
cheering piece of news:
mfr Dimmett. a member of the Board
of Education, tells US that Edwards
township is setting the proper example
for the other townships, in that the
township has reduced the pumber of
school districts from fifteen to ten.
Every township in the county should do
likewise in the matter of reducing the
number of districts"

"ATTEMPTED"I rs GOOD.

There is an old messy back Repub-
lican living in Montgomery county who
has made the most wonderful discovery
of the new century. In the Republican
convention of his county he secured the
unanimous passage of a resolution de-
claring that 'the Republican party is the
only party that ever passed an antitrust
law and is the only party that ever at
tempted to enforce the said antitrust
law
Attempted" is good. Mr.. Babcock
needs Col. Allen Jordan at the head of
the Republican Congressional literary
bureau. !

AN ABSURD POSITION.

A committee of cotton spinners has re-
Gently appeared before the South Caro-
lima Board of Equalization and urged that
the true method of valuing cotton mills
is on the spindle basis. and not ION it's
true cash value
If that absurd request should be
granted, the railroads ought to ask to be
taxed upon the mileage basis, without re-
gard to whether it is little lumber road
or through line.
Then the land OF the country should
near large towns ON the same schedule
with the poor land far removed from
town.
The fairest method of tax assessment
ever devised is 1.-THE true cash value"
OF course it is often difficult to ascer-
tain "the true cash value" but con-
scientious tax-listers, assessors and
boards can approximate it pretty accu-
rately if they desire to do So
dislike to pay tax, and most of them
will put the valuation as low as posi-
BILE. When one man, worth $50 900, sees
that 4 neighbor worth more than that
give in his property for taxation at $780,
900, the temptation to reduce his own as
sessment is very strong. AS a matter
of fact it is a gross injustice to compel
given in while the other pays tax on
half of the value of his property.

SOME FIGURES THAT TALK.

The Textile Worlds figures of imports
into the Philippines is an effectual an
swer to the short sighted South Carolina
candidate who declared that 1.-The acqui-
sition of the Philippines has proved a
God-send to the people of the South"
The Textile World shows that the total
imports into the islands OF cotton goods
were 1898, S57 "of which Great Britain's
share was 4S per cent, SPANS 16 per cent,
Germany's per cent, other foreign coun-
tries 20 per cent, and the United States
/ per cent" That is the way that trade
follows the flag" Commenting on the
South Carolinian's declaration, the
Charleston News and Courier says:
1.-THE report of our exports for the
fiscal year 1901, just published by the
Treasury Department, places the total OF
our exports of manufactured merchan-
disc at something more than $500 ,OOO,O 900,
broadly distributed as follows: To Eu-
rope $215,0O0 000 To North America
$S6, 900, O00 To South America $4,000, 000
To Asia $33, 7OO,O 900. To Oceanica $685.
O0O, 900. To Africa $10,500,000. 1t will be
seen, at once. that so far from China
by itself holding leading place among
our customers, all Asia together does
not hold such place. Our exports to
Darkest Africa were nearly third of
those to the Yellow Continent; While
those to Canada and other countries in
North America nearly trebled them; and
those to Europe exceeded them by over
600 per cent. And China is not all of
Asia, and is not entitled to the credit
for all our exports to Asia.
1T is further to be noted that all the
manufactured merchandise which We
exported to Asia was not cotton goods
What the proportion of such goods was
last year we do not know, but before
the recent war in China all our exports
to that country amounted to about $780,
000 900 annually, of which cotton goods
constituted about 10000, 00C, or iess-we
believe it was IS 900, 900. 1t appears,
therefore, that our exports to all Asia
last year were considerably less than
our exports to China before the war in
that country, and it does not appear,
therefore, that war has helped us much
so far in respect of increasing our gen.
eral trade in that country. Our cotton
exports, we assume, have decreased with
the rest"

TOM WATSON TIE FIRST,

Now that the free rural mail delivery
has come TO be a very great success,
about two or three dozen Congressman and
ex-Congressmen profess to be the daddy
OF the lusty infant. In the contest for
the Senatorial nomination in South Car
DINA, one of the candidates based his
claim to election in part on the fact
that he was the daddy of the free rural
delivery system. Tom Watson, ex-Con-
gresham and ex-Populist, who has aban-
doned politics for literary fields, saw the
claim and offered reward of 500 if he
couldn't prove himself the daddy. Hon.
A. w. Machen, the head of the system,
has furnished a statement in which he
gives credit for the first speeches in ia
vor of it to an Ohio and New York Con-
gresham, says that Congressman Liv-
iDgston introduced the first bill to apprn-
pirate money to establish the system,
and that Thomas E. Watson is the author
of the first amendment that carried an
dppl lOI Tree rural uellNGIys IL
was 'in the postoffice appropriation bill
for the year ending June 30th, 1894, and
passed in the committee of the whole on
February 18th, 1893"
The fact that it was passed when a
North Carolinian, Hon. John S. Hender-
son, was chairman of the Postoffce Com
mittee, ought to secure to North Caro-
lima fairer treatment. This State gets
one district to five or more for Wisconsin.
About the time an inspector has become
familiar with the work in North Caro-
lima, he is ordered elsewhere. Our Con-
gressmen are camping on the trail Of
Mr.. Machen, but that gentleman seems
to hear and respond to calls from North
ern States over Southern States in the
ratio of about to /. Is there no remedy ?
