NoSUYIoN WIrNEss MGRDEEED.--
John Wachs, of Pittston, Pa, a
uon-union miner and one Of the nom
union witnesses before the anthracite
strike commission in Scranton last week,
was murdered by unknown persons
Thursday. He was beheaded and the
remains we're placed on the Lehigh
Valley tracks in order that the evidence
Of toul play might be obliterated by a
nass;ng train. When Wach's remains
we're found the headless trunk was lying
bv aud close to the outside rail OF tn
nor.hbound track, while the head resieo
between the tracks south of the polni
where the BODY reposed. 1t was noticed
at once that the cut Of the head from
the trunk was very clean, as If 1t had
been done with cleaver, and that there
we're no broken bones or bruises on cith-
or norton OF the remains. Taking these
circumstances into consideration, the
officials made careful survey OF the sur
rouudinos and found several other iDd1ca-
tions that confirmed them in their belief
that mur,ier had been done. There was
no blood on The rails in the near yicin-
itv of the place where the body wss
found. and there was no displacement in
the oinders of theroadbcd. At themorgue
not bruise was found on the body,
with the exception Of a slight discolora-
-, o,, ona shoulder Wachs and the
members of his family had been subjected
TO considerable annoyance because the
men Of the family worked during the
strike. About iour months ago the font
portion Of their home was totally wreck
ed by dynamite.

THE CENTURY FOR 1908.
Best Pictures, Best Fiction, Best His tory for Price of Century
 S1hscriDtion,

Four dollars Is a small sum with which to supply a family for year with 'ne hest pictures and literature: The hlgh- water mark color production, as Howard pvle characterizes the exquisite color reT nroductions of his paintings in the De cember Century; history, current topics of vital interest, the best verse ana nc- ton of the day.
 The most striking successes of the Gen. tury Magazine have been made In the field of history, witness the famous Cen turv War Papers, Nicolay and Hays Life of Lincoln, etc; and it IS to return to the field of historical literature this year A striking series of Illustrated articles on the early campaigns of the Revolu- ton. written by Professor Justin Harvey Smith of Dartmouth College, will be one of the features, especially covering the picturesoue march of Arnold through the Maine woods. Important articles on the Trusts" will be ."'Ad from time to time-not attacking 'endlng' put simply telling the ins.-~ story of the great trusts, and how they are con- ducted.
 Richard whteing, the author of that popular book. No. John Street" is to write one cf the serials for the Century in 1905 "The Yellow Van,' the story of an American "schoolma' am" who mar
 
 ries an English duke. Another serial, by the author of Mrs. Wigs of the Cab bage Patch, the most popular book of the year, will begin to appear in the De- cember Century. Papers by MT Doc ley" giving his unique "Oplnions' on literature: new light on the lives of Ed gar Allan Poe and Sir Walter Scott; richly illustrated articles on the great exchanges of the world, and the best short stories that can be procured from the leading writers-all these are coming in the Century. Beautiful pictures in color will appear from time to time.
 The pictures are richly worth framing and place in every home. The reading means wide information, culture and rich intellectual pleasure from month to month. The bound volumes should hay: permanent place in every library. Big re- turns, all this. on the small investment of four dollars.

A soRDIp VIEW.

The Hartford (Conn.) Times. speaking of the Democratic State Committee, de- clares that mo man should be accepted as member of this committee who can not at the beginning of a campaign com mand from the district which he repre- sents at least one thousand dollars" Upon these sordid and really venal ideas of the duties of committeeman. The New Haven Register very properly remarks that such views do not square with the welfare of good government. The very last requirement to be made of a com- nfitteeman is to hand over a stated sum of money. for if carried out to its logical end that would mean the auto cratic control of the party by men who have the money A committeeman should prove his ability as an organizer before elevated to that position. Money curses a party more often than it benefits it, while what counts is power of organiza- ton. The last election proves that"
 We thoroughly agree with The Register. The further assertion of The Times that d IHcuUST OL tuC WHO NaHiioa command the one thousand dollars should "stsp down and make room for another who can do it," can hardly be considered an elevating view of the duties of Dem ocratic State or other committee. It is reducing Democracy to a strictly financial basis. and that is repugnant to right thinking men. Of course. under modern political methods money is necessary. If not one dollar should be used corruptly or improperly there are always legiti- mate expenses to be met. but we prefer to take higher view of a Democratic State Committee than to think that its members should be selected solely with an eye to the dollars each one can com mand.
