Schroe Ter did not even have bone broken.
1t is the most extraordinary escape known in
the history of anthracite mining. Young
Schroeder left town this morning in company
with William Kalbach in quest of pheasants.
Schroeder walked into drift and lighted a
match, calling to Kalbach to follow. Suddenly
gave cry of surprise, and attempted 10 step he
back, but the ground at the edge of the hole
gave away with him, and he plunged feet first
down into the abyss. Help was summoned at
once, and men lowered ropes into the hole.
Nothing was heard in reply to the cries of the
rescuers until this afternoon, when John
Galloway was lowered into the opening, aud
after going down 200 feet, the length of the
rope attached to his body, he heard cries for
help. He answered back that they were
doing everything in their power to reach him.
More rope was secured, Galloway went down

Trust Prices More Pay.

Over 1O06 machinists of the Southern
Railway went on strike October 8. They
argue that the increase in the cost of liv-
ing shown by Government statistics and
their own experience justifes them in de-
handing higher wages. Preaching Demo
cratic doctrine has done some good among
laborers and mechanics all over the country
by opening their eyes to the facts. They
no longer accept Republican false pretenses
in lieu of wages. They want square
deal, but have ceased to expect it from big
corporations or an administration elected by
the money and influence Of corporations.

A Republican Wall.

The Republicans of Massachusetts are
greatly disturbed and annoyed by the signs
of the times. At their recent State con-
vention Ex-Gov. John L. Bates, speaking
as permanent chairman of the convention,
expressed his grief and apprehension thus:
"''Trust- investigations, indictments, theor-
les, schemes, recriminations, and muck
rakes are having their day
No doubt, the indictments are about the
only thing the Republican leaders really
fear; but the other proceedings are
making them sadly uncomfortable. The
way of the wicked is, indeed, very hard in
these times. May it never be easier!

THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE
HOUSE.
Charges of Extravaganza and Fraud.

OudrSoS Oh 6AtTdVdSduCod uo IduO.
The State of Pennsylvania, which can
always be replied on to give sweeping
majority for the Republican candidate at a
Presidential election, and whose chief city,
in its political conditions, has been stencil
in the nostrils of all decent people for years,
is now in the throes of CONFUSION which
is shaking the old State from its center to
its circumference.
They have recently built a State House
at Harrisburg, and at its dedication few
weeks ago, there was great boom of
cannon and blast of trumpets. Mr.. Roose-
welt, the President, was there to dignity
the occasion by his presence. He made
speech, in the course of which he said
"You have by law protected the state
treasury from depreciation and conserved
the public moneys for use only to the pub
lie interest" $4,000, 900 were appro-
priated for the building of the Capitol.
1t now turns out that instead of expanding
81, 900, 900, as the people supposed, the
State administration, with Governor Pen
nypacker at its head, has actually used
$13, O0O,0 900. And the people are up in
arms about it, as they ought to be. The
administration explains that the extra small
amount of SO, 900, 900 was for Furnishings.
They do not say how much was stolen,
but the Philadelphia Press, strong Re-
publican paper, says editorially: that 1.-THE
declaration of the State Treasurer that
there are two millions of steal in the CAPT.
tol, is probably within bounds Of truth. y
Certainly in no period Of our country s
history, has there been such extravaganza,
such corruption, and such wide departure
from the safe and conservative methods of
our fathers, as since the Republican party
has been in control of the government.
And there will be no improvement in con-
ditions until the administration is changed,
the books opened, and we "turn the ras-
cal out
In contrast with the experience of Penn
sylvania, under Republican rule, we point
with pride to our own good old State Of
Maryland, under Democratic rule. The
Baltimore Sum- says Editorially in its
issue of Monday last {:
"In the last few years the State has
spent over 81, 600, 900 in public buildings,
and there is not even suspicion that one
dollar of that great sum went astray or that
there was graft to the smallest extent. In
this we are entitled to exalt ourselves and
to be thankful that we are not as Pennsyl
vania, where the erection of the State
House and the City Hall of Philadelphia
have brought discredit upon great State. y

Frederick c. Talbott's name, the last one
on the ballot

Teddy made speech at the dedication
of the new Statehouse at Harrisburg, Pa,
the other day. But he forgot to preach
about square deal, the simple life, clean
politics, reform, etc., which are his usual
themes. There was such an odor of graft
about the building and its furnishings, and
he was so ode lifted with it, that he just
couldn't preach. He just praised the
whole nasty business, house, furniture,
grafters, and all. Teddy is a boon COM
panion of Penrose.

Graft.

The process of Grating fruit trees is
pretty we'll understood by the Agricultural
people of our country. BY this method,
a twig is securely attached to the branch
of the parent tree, and derives its susie
nance and life from it, and is made to grow
and flourish and bear fruit Political
Grating is conducted on somewhat the
same principle, but the results are quite
different. In it, the political twig, which
is usually empty and worthless, attaches
itself, like a leach, to the governmental
tree, and draws all the sap it is capable of
receiving, and bears the fruit of fraud and
dishonesty, which is in some cases, and
ought to be in all, marketed in the peni-
tertiary.
In former times when a public official
would steal, everybody called it stealing.
Under modern interpretations, and accord
ing to the political Lexicon which has been
brought into use since the advent of the
Republican party, it is called by the milder
TERM" Graft" 1t is nevertheless, theft.
In every department of the federal gov
eminent into which the light has been
turned, we find that stealing has been 60
ing on, among the high and the low. A
rake-off, of startling proportions, seems to
be the common thing in many Of the de-
partments. And whose money is being
stolen? Not the governments, but the
peoples money.
Out of the many who are guilty, few
have been brought into court and sent to
the penitentiary. But the belief is, that
those who have been convicted and are
suffering the penalty, represent small
proportion of those who ought to be behind
the bars.
The Republican party naturally touches
the matter gingerly, because the condi-
lions are largely due to the general extraV-
agance and looseness, with which that
party has conducted the affairs of the gov
eminent.
We have drifted away from the old,
simple lines of conduct, pursued in the
better days of the republic, when the af-
fairs of state were mostly under control of
the Democratic party. We are now in the
mad rush of expansion, of high tariff, of
imperialism, and every other wild and
dangerous ism, so that those who are in
official position and have the opportunity,
feeling also, that the conservative lines
have been departed from, make the grab
and take the chances.
And we are taught to call it Graft. No,
No, let us call it what it is, stealing. The
Decalogue does not say, ''Thou shalt not
graft" but "Thou shall not steal.

This Trust Magnates are "Stirred. u

Fl. Fl. Rogers, the manager of the
Standard Oil Trust, declares that Demo-
cratic success would be inimical "to large
business interests" Rogers is right, for
he means there would be trouble for the
tariff protected trusts and corporations when
the Democrats control the government
The signs point to Democratic success, for
there is great perturbation amongst the
plutocrats, so much so that even John D.
Rockefeller took the trouble to register as
a voter in New York. This is said to be
the first time the Standard Oil magnate
has registered and voted in New York,
except at presidential election. The or
binary voter, who pays toll to the trusts
should emulate his example by registering
and voting. Thus will Democracy surely
triumph if the common people are alert
to their own interest.

are common marks of the storm, and aggre-
gate loss of 500, OOO The wind at
tanned a maximum velocity of so miles an
hour. For several hours the average speed
was 38 miles an hour. The local weather
bureau says that the storm was local, with
little effect north of Ogden or south of
Provo, Utah.

there something wrong about this?
