Connell Company Have POSSES
sion of Rcrnice Mines.

The mines of the State Line and
Sullivan Railroad Company at Ber-
nice are now in the possession of the
Connell Anthracite Mining company.
1t will be remembered that this new
company leased the mine and coal
lands and will pay the State Line
company 19 cents per ton royalty.
1t is stated that the new company
will erect another breaker and double
the output of the mines.
There is great deal of speculation
here as to what changes the new
company will make at Towanda in
regards to the yards, employees, etc.
General Manager Baldwin and Supt.
Dunston remain with the State Line
company in the same offices. Mr..
Dunston will see that the lessees live
up to their contract at the mines and
that the agreements are carried out
by them. There will be consider
able work to be done in connection
with the collection of royalties, dis
posal of timber to the State Line
company's land and the rental of the
railroad to the Lehigh Valley

Postal savings Banks.

Public sentiment is developing in IA
vor of postal savings banks and as the
advantages Of the system become bet
ter understood there will be still fur
ther tendency toward their establish
ment. When we make It possible for
the country boy or girl to go to the
nearest postoffice and deposit however
small sum Of money and receive a
handbook guaranteed by the United
States government, we have not only
instilled habits of economy that will
result in similar action by all tho boys
and girls associating together, but we
have planted in the breasts of the ris-
Ing generation seeds Of patriotism and
loyalty to country that will thrive and
bear fruit in the future. There are
many reasons why the grange advo-
Gates the establishment Of postal saw
ings banks, but one Of the chief Of
these is the habit Of thrift and econ
omy promoted and the love Of country
developed that could be done 30 ef-
fectively in no other way.-N. ]. Bach

cauotises and conventions. The native
Plug Uglies' of Baltimore were more
dangerous gangs than any brought to
us by immigration.
But the sources from which the i'm
migration comes are different from
those Of the past-eastern and southern
Europe instead Of northern and west
ern, says Senator LODGE. Were not
the representations Of evil even more
terrible then than they are now?
The truth is, this immigration question
settles itself. When we DO not need the
aliens they stop coming. They only
come in great numbers when there is a
demand for them; and never is the de-
mand simply for literacy. We want
their muscle and their industry, and in
due time we cure such illiteraoy as comes
with them by means of our public schools.
They are speedily assimilated, and when
election comes we find that they vote as

The defects which proved fatal to

would doubtless be avoided in new
enactment; but the project to legislate
judicial officers out of Office simply
to secure their places for persons of the
opposite party is 30 manifestly evil and
fraught with such evil consequences
that it ought not to be entertained for
