Read This, Republicans.

This contest is no mere local affair.
II is national in its scope. A victory
for Democracy In Pennsylvania would
send a shiver along the spinal column
of the Republican party of the United
States. Twice has Mr.. Pattison been
elected governor, and twice, at the sue
ceeding national elections, has a Demo-
crat occupied the White House. We
all remember with what dire results
the last Cleveland administration was
accompanied. We had the soup house
where those who were turned from the
doors of the closed mills were driven
for food. The Inquirer opened dis
tributing depots for bread. and for
weeks - yes, for months-the distri-
button continued. This was what the
FOLLY OF the people in electing Demo-
cratic president made necessary.
Could we look with confidence to a
continuation Of prosperity under new
Democratic administration? BY no
means. One experience Of that dis
NAL sort is enough. Then why invite
disaster by turning Pennsylvania over
to the Democrats and sending a chill
throughout the Observation-Disclosures
Inquirer.

THE LEAGUE OF CLUBS
The Convention at Erie This Week
and Some Of Its Novel Features.

The State League of Republican
Clubs, which is holding its annual
convention in Erie this week. is one
of the most unusual gatherings of its
kind ever assembled within the bor-
ders of the state. The attendance is
larger. as indicated by the number of
special trains engaged than ever be-
fore in the history of the league. The
enthusiasm is greater because of the
novelties that have been introduced
into the campaign.
Perhaps the most striking of these
Is a great ball marked with Pennsvl-
vania's record Of Republic?n patriot

Presidents Mckinley and Roosevelt,

can candidates Of this year, which is
being taken to Erie on special car
and from there is to be rolled back

phia. The idea. which was evolved
from the fertile brain of a couple of
Philadelphia Republicans, Joseph M.

treasurer of Philadelphia, is that at
the border of each county a number
of Republicans representing that coun-
ty shall take the ball in charge, roll

Disaster at Algoma Company's Mine

ELEVEN BODIES RECOVERED

Fired Six Kegs of Powder. and Ex-

3Fef the fallen coal and slate to the
lights of the rescuing party and have
been taken out alive, although they
are both badly burned and were
nearly suffocated by the gas and smoke
inhaled.
Mr.. Frankenfield was unable for
some time TO tell his story, but finally
said that he was more than a quarter
Of q mile from where the explosion oc.
eurred when he heard the first report.
He said that the explosion took place
about one mile from the main en-
trance. He had attempted to go to
the aid of the entombed miners, but
owing to the presence of the gas he
had been forced to retrace his steps
toward the main entrance and after
continually falling, finally had reached
an opening where the fresh air re-
rived him.
The explosion was caused by an ac,
emulation of gas catching on fire
from the lamp, of a miner who was
going to work:-an this, in turn, fired
six kegs of blasting powder that had
been stored in the mine. The ex

porations or individuals. to the cs>lxens
OF the state In their employ. II was az
the session of 1878 that law was pass
ed fixing the standard weight of a BUSH
el of bituminous coal. 1t was during
the session of 1881 that the law was
passed securing to operatives and la
borers engaged in and about coal
mines, manufactures OF iron and steel
and all otner manufactures. the pay
ment of their wages at regular inter-
walls and in lawful money of the United
States.
REGULAR PAY DAYS.
This is one of the most important
laws ever enacted. MIDI d>'ged men
today remember the condit.. lis that ex-
listed prior to the passage of this act.
Employees, often OF large concerns,
were frequently deprived of their earn
ings tor from 80 to 60 days; often only
paid in part and frequently with script,
store orders or other alleged equiva-
lents of value. The passage of this
law made compulsory the payment to
every employe, every working man
and woman, the wages due him or her
in lawful money of the country ard at
stated intervals.
Every field of labor has been covered
by Republican laws enacted by Repub-
lican legislatures. The law limiting
the hours of labor of conductors, driv-
ers and employees of horse, cable and
electric railways, was passed by the
Legislature of 1887. The legislature of
that year struck the final blow at child
labor in this state by prohibiting the
employment of any child under the
age of IL years by any individual, firm
or company, to do any work in any
mill, mandatory or mine, or any
work pertaining thereto.
Going a step beyond the mere enact
ment of laws protecting coal miners,
the assembly of 1889 enacted the law
compelling the examination of miners
in the anthracite region for the pur-
pose Of preventing the employment Of
incompetent persons in those mines.
The factory law of the state which
regulates the employment and provid
ed for the safety of women and chill
dren in mercantile industries and man
ufacturing establishments, and to pro-
vide for the appointment of inspectors
to enforce this law, became operative
through the action of the legislature of
1889.
ALL CLASSES PROTECTED.
So the long line of beneficial laws
might be continued. Inc tolfer in the
tenement house, the woman in the
store, the mechanic at the bench, the
young woman at the cigar table, the
worker in the mine, the puddler in the
mill, all enjoy whatever of comfort,
convenience and protection they have
to the wisdom of Republican legisla-
tors and the efforts of Republican
statesmen.
1t is understood that one of the bat
tie cries of the Democracy this fall is
to be the declaration that the Republic
can party has done little or nothing
for the working man. 1t Is false,
wretchedly false, as the Pamphlet Laws
Of Pennsylvania demonstrate in all the
publications from 1865 to 1902.
