REMOVE TIE DUTY.

The principal point of contest be-
fore the Strike Arbitration Commits
sion seems TO be the question OF
Union recognition by the great coal
companies. This question is causing
n hard fight from both sides. and it
is apparent that the operators win
consider themselves defeated, no mat
ter how favorable the decision in
other particulars. should the Com
mission see fit to recognize the
Miners Union, of which their arch
enemy, John Mitchell. is President.
The entire force of twenty-iour law
yers, employed by the coal carrying
roads, Is exerting itself so far in
vain, to force Mr.. Mitchell into n
confession that the Union is ire
sponsible and at time lawless. In the
meantime the press and public fol-
low the investigation with interest.
Sympathizers of the man still ask the
apparently unanswerable question.
Why have the miners not the same
right TO combine as have the opera
tors? No satisfactory reply has been
given, and none will be. The Goa
companies, each and every one. with
possibly two or three exceptions. ART
in a close combination for the regu.
lation of the price of all kinds OF coal.
and not only the miners suffer as "a
result of their increased power, gain
ed by unity of action. but the public
as well. The men have leagued
against them always the combined
power of every pine, and the public
has to pay any price these operators
may demand. L. yiew of the pres
ence = his trust Z is e. be hoped
that CnAgre% ssaiss coming session,
will remove the ssieynpon anthracite
coal, so that competition from
abroad may enable the people to defy
these American coal barons Should
such Congressional action be taken
the present price OF $500 per ton
will vanish in twinkling.

The bill offered by Mr.. McIlwaine in

tax of five cents on each hundred dol
lars OF real estate and personal prop

expected. The Constitutional Con-

cents on the hundred and the Legis-

of it back. In view OF Virginia 5 large

THE DROP STITCH WON.

1t Is not a generally recognized
fact that a minister's duties include
selection OF stockings for the feminine
portion of his congregation. nor is il
usual for the ladies TO submit to direc-
tions from their pastor on this sub
lect, and as a result of "A rebellion in
New York City along this line, the
pastor OF Reformed Dutch Church
is without flock. 1t all came about
thus: The pastor had watched with
ever increasing uneasiness the dis
position on the part of the women
to adopt the prevailing style in
hosiery, and feeling outraged at the
tendency to reject the good old fash
Toned wooden covering for the latest
things in open work, he Indignantly

in solemn tones warned the younger
sisters that they were approaching
perdition. Twice he talked to them.
but the alluring drop stitch appealed
TO their femininity more forcibly and
his words had the same effect as
water on the back OF the proverbial
duck. In the meantime the congre-
ations grew more and more minute.
The younger women stayed away
and of course their beaus and hus-
bands did likewise until finally there
were none left except the sedate old
ladies who with the reverend gentle
man raised their hands in holy horror
at the worldliness of their youthful
sisters. The matter became serious.
the collections diminished and still
the drop stitch refused TO be cradle
ated. The men in the congregation
became anxious, but there we're few
who agreed with their pastors senti-
ments. At last the crucial moment
arrived and the elders of the church
cast their lot with the ladies. The
minister was asked to resign. The
church has now another pastor. and

The council met in regular session last
night, with Doudican the only absent
member. The street and bridge commit
tee reported that the Chestnut street
sewer had been completed at a cost of
S322.iS. Burgess Burschell reported no
fines collected during the past month.
Burgess Burschell drew the attention of
the council to the fact that uniform
rate Of wages should be paid for street
work, and suggested that the rate be
raised from s1.35 to Sl.50 per day. He
stated that this Is the only borough in
the county now paying less than the lat
ter figure. On motion of McAlister, it
was decided that hereafter the pay fer
