Work for More Police.

This time of burglar scares is q
good one in which to urge an in
crease in the police force, which
Chief of Police George Black is do
ing. With complaints of suspicious
characters coming into the police
station day after day and night af-
ter night, with a long list of rob-
berries, with the people much agita-
ted at the recurrence of such ma
rauding, the inability of the Police
Department to cope with the situa-
ton is altogether patent. When
burglars are operating, the chances
are with them as against the police,
for the burglars can work on the
rear of a house, while officers, all
unconscious of the miscreants' exis-
tence, are in front of the house.
With smaller districts to patrol, the
officers would have an opportunity
to supervise them more closely and
burglars might have smaller inter-
walls in whichto work their dastarl-
ly trade. Especially do outlying
sections need more officers. Unfor
tunately, the financial part of the
problem of increasing the police
force is a hard one. 1t would take
about $l2, 600 for an additional tif-
teen patrolmen, and there is said to
be no appropriation from which
that money could be drawn at this
time. Perhaps we can get the in
crease to the force next year.

MINERS ARE
WELL PAID.
This the Answer of the Inde-
pendent Operators to
President Mitchell.
TROUBLE TRACED TO UNION
Skillful Anthracite Workm en-
Earn More An Hour Than
Any Other Glass of
Labor,

SCRANTON, Pa, Nov. 13.-The an
swer Of the Independent operators OF
the Lackawanna and Wyoming region
to the statement of President Mitchell
Of the mine workers has been made
public.
In response to the demand for an in
crease in wages they say that the
present wages are such as to enable the
dlligent and skillful miner to earn more
per hour than any class of labor, skilled
or unskilled, III the towns in which
the mines are located and amply suf
fcient to allow him not only to main
tain an American standard of living
and educate his children, but to lay
aside something for his old age. That
some miners wages are small, it is
stated, is because they choose to eX
ercise their option to work only few
hours day.
In answering the contention that
mining is extremely dangerous and un-
healthy and tends to shorten life the
operators set forth petition recently
circulated in the interests of candi-
date for mine inspector, which con-
tained the names of ninety five employ
ecS of one mine, siXtysix of whom had
worked in the mine for twenty years
or more and twenty for forty years or
more and five for fifty years or more.
The demand for the weighing of coal
and payment by the legal ton of 2,24O
pounds instead of by the fictitious ton
of 2,75O or 5000 pounds is charac-
terized as a thinly disguised effort to
secure 40 per cent increase in wages.
The answer asserts that 2,750 pounds
Of coal as it comes from the mine is
barely sufficient to produce 2,24O
pound ton of prepared coal.
Regarding the declaration of the min
crs that labor unions improve the
morals and discipline of their members
this comment is made: This may be
true when applied to some organiza
tions, but when applied to the miners
union we enter Il most emphatic de-
nlnl and propose to introduce evidence
showing that prior to the advent Of the
United Mine Workers of America it
was considered had form to kill or
MAIN a citizen who attempted to eN-
ercse his constitutional right to sell
his labor and that the vast number Of
brutal murders and heatjNgs during HE
past five months show that the teach
ing of the United Mine Workers of
America has brought about such moral
ohliQuity that its members believed
themselves justified in thp@" acts; also
that officers Of the union justified this
course by furnishing bail and counsel
for those who have been guilty Of these
atrociOuS acts. We believe we will he
able to prove such tremendous losses
of life and money as the direct results
Of the methods Of this particular mn
ion as to COnvinc" your honorable com
mission that it is incXpedirnl to dc any
act which may contribute to its con
tinucd existence"

YOUNG persons desirous of at
tanning literary fame We're severely
shocked by facts given them by Ed
ward w. Box in a talk on "The
Magazine Editor the other night.
Editor Box said that last year the
five leading magazines in the coun-
try received 1890 poems, but ac-
cepted only 2SS of them. Out of
$500 short stories these magazines
accepted 200, and out of 400 SER
ials only 32 We're accepted. Sum
ming up the mag azine manuscript
market, he said that Al 900 authors
offered their writings last year, but
only Isl of them saw their produc-

LEGISLATION
FOR NEW CASTLE
Some Persons Pay All the
Taxes While Others Pay
None Yet Receive Benefits.

New Castle, Nov. 13.-At this
time there is considerable talk
regarding needed legislation tor New
Castle. So far as the tax collector
Of New Castle is concerned he is
handicapped by the want of law
He cannot enforce the pay ment of
taxes and many of the collectors,
sooner than have their bonds held
up, have paid several hundreds OF
dollars in order to have their bonds
satisfied.
A property owner in speaking Of
the present tax system says it Is
wrong. He has no children and vet
he has TO pay S25a year IN school
taxes. Men who have three or four
children going to the schools do not
pay a cent. Ii IS argued that this
is unfair to the property owners and
the men who do pay
These men. however, say that the
city of New Castle owns several
large farms which are paying. The
money from these they say should
be, coming into the city. The
Trustees Of the Commons last year
gave the Board of Education $500
and as consequence the schools
have been painted and repaired and
new heaters installed.
An effort will be made during the
coming year to have heaters placed
in No. l school.
The school property committee has
purch ased new flags to float over the
schools. This is III accordance with
the State law. The school without
a flag is not entitled to state aid.

The impression is growing strong
er, says Washington special, that
insurmountable difficulties have
presented themselves in the way of
constructing the Panama Canal un-
der existing legislation. Members
of the Senate arriving in Washing
ton, do not see how pending nego-
tiations are to be brought to sue
cessful termination without great
delay and in the meantime, the Of
fer of the Panama Canal Company
to sell it's franchise to the United

there is a question whether the

Reading Notices and Display Advertising.
The valuo of reading notices in
newspapers would seom to have de-
preciated somewhat in later years,
says an advertising paper. 1t is
claimed that this is due chiefly to
the fact that they have been used
50 largely Dy advertisers Of ques-
tionable business. Good buyers, it
is said, skip them, because they be-
lieve them all to be of the same
tenor. Whatever the cause, they
do not seem to draw the trade as
once they did. ApropOs, it might
be asked whether the failure from
a financial point Of tho three great
fairs Philadelphia, Chicago and
Buffalo might not have been at
tribUtuhlC in some degree to the
fact that the used no display ad-

If the Police Department will in
ject a large quantity of burglar

grabbing arms, they may not only
relieve the minds of the people of
our city, but may save the tax pay
ers from buying new machinery
for the workhouse shops, to replace
some that has good chance of

to run them.
Whether it is the moral effect of
the workhouse, or the shock of the
elections the fact il that Warden
Meserve is shy on prisoners. There
are only l5S prisoners now in the
institution.
There is considerable talk, in
Kent and Sussex Counties, in favor
of a penitentiary, but it ls not be-
