DIFFERENT KINDS.
There are tyrants in every business or
trade and some who arc dishonest. But
there are just as upright and honorable
men connected with the coal companies
clergy included. and the miners know it,
And there are lots of miners as honest,
intelligent and lawabding as any citi-
zens of this land, but they are not to
be classed with the biutes who last weei;
at Grassy Island dubbed James Winston
to death and then danced in ghoulish
glee around the battered corpse in broad
daylight. God forbid that such men
should ever be classcd with the miners
we know.
We believe that the man who goes
around telling men that the man or com.
pany who employs them Is their enemy
and who delights in stirring up strife, is
a bad man and should look for more
respectable job. even if the pay was small
lcr And as for the breaker boys, how
many men who have graduated from the
breaker are in this city. and other towns
and cities, honored and respected men,
bers of our professional and business life
and today the boys in the breaker are
as game and can take care of themselves
anywhere.
Now. Mr. Editor. we expect when the
strike is over. as it will be some day, and
the miners are back in their places and
good feeling again prevails between en-
ployer and employe, and the miner asks
himself. well. what did I get for my
share of the soft coal operators S1.5O per
ton extra for six months?" that then he
will do some thinking. Yours,

Scranton High School won their first
foot ball game of the season at Athletic
park yesterday, by defeating a picked
team from Carbondale, which was sup
posed to represent the Carbondale High
school, by score of 80.
The visitors brought with them four
members of the old Indians" who are
experienced players, but notwithstand-
ing that fact the local boys played all
around them.
Two tifteen-minute halves were played
the second in a drzzling rain. The
Scranton boys hit the Carbonate line
heavily and did not seem to mind the
weight of their opponents. For a team,
the majority of whom never played be-
fore, the High School eleven made a
very creditable showing against their
more experienced opponents. Thayer,
Levi, Kelly and Allen did good work.
and Zizelman at center who showed
weakness. was replaced by Lavelle.

The New Law Isn't Acceptable to

Public Examiner S. T. Johnson is Wis

signed yesterday. 1t gives him precisely
the same powers to examine the books Ut
railroad companies, telegraph. telephone,
express and sleeping car companies that
he has over banks and county officers.
For the. first time the state will be able
to verify the stat ements of gross earnings
made by these corporations. Heretofore
there has been no option The state had
to take the word of the companies OFF,
GERS It is intimated that in the case of
some of these corporations, no return mas
been made Of interstate Business.
Under the new law, Mr.. Johnson or any
of his deputies will have the right to
visit the offices of these companies at any
time without notice. and examine their
books, accounts, bills or vouchers. The
power is given to issue subDoenas, ad-
minister oaths and to enfotce obedience in
the same way as court OF Jaw. 1t Is
made felony to refuse inform alton or to
obstruct the public examiner in his work,
and swearing to false statement is
perjury.
Mr.. johnson will employ deputy who
is skilled in railroad accounting. This
deputy will spend the greater part of his
time in checking over these books.
The act may have widespread effects.
1t is the first time the state has been
given any authority. excent by court

of these companies. This will be very
distasteful to the companies and 1t Is In

Washington, March 13.-Senator- elect
German was a visitor to the capitol yes
terday, and consulted with his demo-
cratic brethren. A movement is on foot
to induce Mr.. German to accept the chair
manship Of the democratic congressional
committee and make the fight for demo-
cratic house of representa- tives Many
democrats believe they have an excellent
chance to capture the lower branch, and
that Mr.. German Is just the man to find
the way to victory. Others say it would
be better not to win the house because
that would mean responsibility on the
eve of presidential election and the
democracy always thrives better when it
is on the outside. --,.-~ --.--
Up to this time the democrats have
been talking of Senator Clark of Mon
tana or Representa- tive Griggs Of Georgia
for chairman Of their committee. Clark
they want for his money and for no other
reason. He is mere tyro in politics.
There are serious objections to him on
the part Of many democrats, who claim
that If he is chosen the country will re-
gard it as notice that the party is going
to buy majority in the house. sGriggs is
also Objectionable because Of his devo-
tion to the sacred cause of free silver. If
Senator-elect German will consent to
serve it is altogether probable he will be

A PENCIL PUSHERs' HOME
G. w. Lanapxins Is Here Working
for the PLAN.

G. w. Lamplxins Is Here Working
for the Plan:
G. w. Lampkins, western representa-
tive Of the International League of Press
Clubs, was in the twin cities yesterday.
His purpose is to arouse interest in the
erection of home for newspaper men at
Orange, N. j., few miles out of New
York city. This home has long been a
pet project of the league, and plans now
under way call for the construction of a
building to cost, with furnishings, $780,
600.
The league proposes to raise this sum,
in part, through a magazine, to which
illustrious men all over the world have
promised to contribute, and which is to
consist of only one issue. 1t is to be
named Bohemia and among the con-
tributors who have already promised to
aid in the undertaking are Admiral Dew
ey, Colonel Henry Watterson, Colonel
Alexander K. Mcclure and Postmaster
General Charles Emory Smith, who is to
write the Introductory article. The
magazine will be illustrated by the fore
most artists and cartoonists Of the time,
and will be publication Of distinct and
unique value.
| The home is designed as refuge for
aged, decrepit and broken down members
Of the newspaper profession, as well as a
temporary home for men who need rest
from overwork 1t will be surrounded
with spacious grounds with golf links,
running tracks, tennis courts, and various
other fields for outdoor sports. It is the
intention, too, to make the home available
as vacation resort for members OF the
profession who SO desire to utilize it.
The only condition attached to admission
will be recommendation from some
reputable publisher.
The project is worthy one and is now
on the highway to success The gentle
men in charge have received many offers
OF financial assistance from all over the
| country; but these have been refused to
relieve the home from the stigma OF
charity.

No one can escape the La Grippe germ, be-

prevailing the air is laden with it.
The reason that every one does not have
the disease at the same time is because the
persons who are enjoying perfect health are

Infection, while those who for any reason are
not in the best of health fall ready victims.

The first symptoms are those of acute ca
tarrh resembling a hard cold, and If prompt
treatment s applied at this time it can easily
be broken up one Of the best remedies at
this stage is Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. sold
by druggists every where, and If taken freely,
say one tablet every hour or two for two or
Il rec days, the danger of pneumonia and Sc
rious complications will be averted.
The Rev. L. E. Palmer. Baptist clergyman
of Ceresco. Mich. makes a statement of in
terest to all catarrh and grip sufferers. He
says: 'Stuarts Catarrhi Tablets have Ger
tainly been blessing to me- 1 have used
them freely this fall and winter and have
found them safeguard against La Grippe
and catarrhal troubles. from which 1 have
suffered for years. 1 feel that l can freely
and consctentiously recommend them. -
Persons who suffer from catarrh of the
head and throat are very susceptible to La
Grippe and such will find pleasant, conven-
lent and safe remedy in this new catarrh cure.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are COMPOSED en-
tirely OF harmless antiseDtics and may be
used as freely as necessary as they contain
