WASHINGTON, D. C., March 21.--Two
important measures were passed by the
Senate to-day-the bill for the repeal of
the war revenue taxes and that for the
protection Of the President of the United
States The revenue bill was passed
without division and after only one short
speech. Mr. TiIlman embraced the op-
portunity to protest against the repeal
of the duty Of ten cents a pound upon
tea. 5ag-

no increased price. He said, too. that the
EXP, Timent Of tea culture was being made
in South Carolina, and he believed it
would be successful. This was a baby
industry, and really needed the protec-
ton. The tea. culture industry gave occu-
patton to many colored children, and
might do much other good.
Tho bill for the protection of the Pres
idcnt was under discussion during the
greater part OF the session. Mr.. Patter-
son, Of Colorado. made an extended
speech in opposition to it. and Mr.. Fair
banks, of Indiana, advocated it in a
forceful address.

The leadership.

The Des Moines Register is of the opin-
ion that President Roosevelt's brief ad-
dress when conyening the coal conference
deserves a conspicuous place among the
State papers OF America. II was an occa-
sion when single false word would
have Jared, ye' each fell into place as
properly and as quietly as the words Of
Lincoln at Gettysburg. There is common
sense and directness, simplicity and ear
nestness, the union of these makes the
highest kind Of eloquence-Sll the more
impressive because unintended, unpre-
meditated.
On such an occasion a weaker man, a
man of less honesty of character, would
have put on the role of either domagogue
or demophobe. or else would have sunk
into the expression of inconsequent plat
itu1es. Without a sentence to spare, and
with spirit which even his most persist
ent critics must admit, the President
summed up the coal strike situation as il
effects the vital interests of what he aptly
described as the third party to the unfor-
tunate controversy that is to say the
general public.
President Roosevelt stands high in the
affection and confidence OF the American
people-never higher than to-day. In
everything that the public can properly
do to end the strike, and to prevent sim
liar controversies IN the future, the mass
of the people are willing to look TO him
/ for advice and leadership.

The most important feature OF the COM
ing election is that which relates 20 the
securing of a Republican Congress and
Republican legislature. The latter elects
U. S. Senator. On this subject the
Washington Star very correctly says:
There is work for the party to do. 1t is
work that should not be postponed. A
divided responsibility in Congress-one
party in control Of one house and the 9TH
er Of the otheI-would postpone it. The
most important affairs of the country
would be brought to halt and all we
should witness for eight months would be

latiye huggermugger-for effect on the

SOME COAL SHIPPED.
About $4,000 Tons Of Coal Sent Last
Week to Tidewater.

Reading, Pa. Oct. 13.-Reading rail
way officials are pleased with ship
ments of anthracite coal from the
Schuylkil regions. For the week end
ing Saturday night the company sent
to tidewater about $4,000 tons. This
is marked increase. On last
Saturday 1S9 cars of 30 tons of hard
coal each were sent down and al
night 100 more such cars went
through.
The officials say that Mr.. Baer's
hopeful views of the disintegration OF
the strike in Readings ter q ory may
be realized earlier than many expect
Saturdays shipments were larger
than at any time since the strike. The
5000 tons sent down were mined coal
from the west end of Schuylkill coua'
ty. Saturday morning "a cars were
sent to tdewater from Lykens, just
above the west end collieries.
A leading colliery official says: "a
steady increase IN the shipments OF
coal may be looked for from now on
There are a number OF collieries where
coal has been mined and all that is
necessary is to run it through the
breakers. One of the principal
troubles that the mine operators are
having is to secure slate pickers. The
boys are still determined to continue
the strike, but this mined coal can be
shipped without the usual careful
preparations, as the slate therein
amounts to little"

and il is to be increased to %. Locust
Spring. which is near by. is also in
operation, but the output is small,
probably six cars day. An increase
is also expected there. Henry Clay
is producing four cars day and North
Mahanoy five cars a day, total of
25 cars a day for the entire region
away from the west end, instead OF
$500 cars, as in normal days.

entire Mahanoy and Schuylkill val
leys are only producing As cars day,
or about 1900 tons of coal. This does
not include the large washeries at
Tamaqua and st. Clair. These opera.
tions are turning out so cars, or 1,l0O
tons a day.
The combined product of these col
lieries and washeries amounts tC
about 1920 tons a week. Add to this
the coal from Western Schuylkill
which includes Brookside, Goodsprins
and Kalmia washery, there is tota
weekly output at present of 2S,70(
tons. Then there are few others
small concerns, which may swell the
figures to $4,000 tons. During brisk
times as many as thirty trains of 6C
cars each have been sent down within
"a hours. carrying a total of 64.00t
tons, or more than twice as much &

THE Democratic campaign committee
Of this state is sending out vast amount
ofliterature, largely filled with attacks
upon the last Legislature. While these
publications are intensely partisan, bold
and indiscriminate in their denuncia-
tions, there has not yet appeared from
thi- source so vigorous, clear and critical
a condemnation Of ripper Legislation as
that delivered by Judge Pennypacker at
Piitsburg, the hot-bed Of the ripper forces
well filled with Democrats with the Dem
cratic candidate for Lieutenant Governur
ia the front rank. The criticisms OfJudge
Pennypacker upon the acts of the last
legislature are discriminating, loglcal and
fair, and indicate the opposition which
any similar tendency of the next legis
lature Will encounter from the States

Wednesday, from the same platform with
Judge Pennypscker. In pledging his
Loyalty to the Republican ticket, he said !;
"The defeat Of the Republican party in
Pennsylvania this year would be far
reaching in its results. 1t would encour-
age the Democratic party throughout the
nation and be accepted by the people as a
verdict against the administration Of
President Roosevelt. We cannot afford
this. 1t is my purpose TO support the
whole Republican ticket, and ] trust my
friends will take the same view of the
situation"

TIE trusts are receiving more direct
and rigorous attention from The present
national administration than they have
ever before received from the head of the
government in the history of fthis country.
While both of the great political parties
have, during the past twenty-five years,
repeatedly proclaimed determination to
restrain great combinations moving with
a purpose of shutting out competition, it
is we'll to remember that the only legisla-
ton on the subject has been enacted by a
Republican congress and the advance ef-
fort to apply it is made by Republican
President.

Lynn, Mass, Oct. 13.-At a mass

John F. Hurley of Salem created a

Baer and the other operators on the
nearest tree. He said he did not mean
to kill them, but he would use them as
he would see a dog by putting collar
around their necks and raising them
on limb of tree two or three times,
or until they were willing to arbitrate.

Harrisburg. Oct. l4-Here is a state
ment that is at once startling and
striking. 1t comes from official sources;
There is not a single county in
Pennsylvania which does not get di-
rectly back from the state treasury
more money than the state collects
from all its citizens, excepting so far
as some of them may be indirectly
taxed as stockholders in banks, rail-
roads and other corporations. The
largest excess repaid to the counties

SOME REPUBLICAN FACTS.
This is a sample of what the Repub-
lican party has done and is doing for
the people of Pennsylvania. 1t is only
one reason why Judge Pennypacker
should be elected and the Democrats
defeated. because they lett state debt
of $40. .0OO.O OOO to be paid of by the other
fellows.
The following figures are taken from
official records here in Harrisburg.
They are given for the purpose OF eX-
hibiting more clearly the fact that the
people get back more than they pay
into the state treasury. How is IL
done? The corporations pay the taxes.
What the individual citizen pays into
the state treasury is for liquor license,
mercantile tax, tax on money at in
terest, etc.
The first column in the following ia

into the state treasury from each
