Surely no ene mail could tell all that Lnu raster has, nnd no two men would probably agree about all It wauls. Certainly It wauU morn snlf asscttlen and preperly the organ of this Is the Heard et Trade. Its note should hnve no feeble nor uncertain sound. " Theu that let lest geed tidings te Jerusalem, lift up thy voice with strmiRth, lilt It up, be net afraid." Thla Is au aje of business. The message of the century Is cimmtirclallsm.

Seme forty jiara age there was a demand for the exercise of mch a leellng, and It was an. swored In the uiovement, led by David Long Leng eueckcr, te establish the cotton iuIIIh 'I hat was an experiment and, through home vicis situdes, Anally "as established the plaut that new empleyB 1 1,250.000 eaplfal, engages 1,000 hand, pays out tJ23,000 annually In wane, works up 703,000 raw material Inte 7,100,000 yards el fabric and soils a product of ever 1 1,000,000.

Hie past, aome one has said, at least Is ho he euro; and whether or net Lancaster la te have a future, the Indisputable fact Is that our city has a history, 'i he growth aud ex porleuce et a century aud a hall are hers Ibsh by far, It Is true, than the hlstertu tow ns of elder American settlomentB, youngerthan eten the earlier of the frontier flue et Penn sylvania towns ; but It Is something te be re re re iiiombered that before Washington was born Andrew Hamilton was the transferee of these lands. The preeminence of this shlre tewu among the Inland cities of the country dur Ing the Revolutionary porled Is afatntltir story, though passing the tiotlce of the rising generation In the drill of IhhIuku 11 le west ward and tlie steady advauce of Hie centre of population toward the geographical centre of the United Utatea One U most forcibly re minded, howevor, of the pretensions of the Lancastorel one hundred years nge lu the draft ela letter written by Jasper Yeatei in 17S9, favoring Ltneaster ter the federal cap. ttal.

Uf greater Importance than te keep our own trade at home It is te keep from slaying at home the distant trade that new cornea here.

Her situation Is highly favorable. The sanitary conditions are belter and the death rate lower than In any ether city of Its cla hi the state.

While our charities are well established, t (Helen t and easily sup Iorted, the gratifying fact remains that no town of any sire In Pennsylvania Bhews se small a pruorllen or the directive, delin quent ami dependent classes.

WHAT LA.NtAHlEK WA.Nlst, But the wanta of the city rare almost in varied as Its resources ; aud no little diversity of opinion prevails In theanswera te Inquiries for suggestions as te what will best prometo the business interests and general welfare et Lancaster. "Let everybody buy at home," eajs one ( "etler inducements te manufac tures," says anotber; "unlock the money in the banks and at Interest;" "mero water:" "lower taxes j" "eetter oily government'." 'iree cremation j" "paved streets and chenper light," and boeii. Whatever differences of opinion may prevail, there is cuucuritnce lu the view that our Heard et Trade should Ilrst aid the lau gulshlng manufacturing industries already established here; Unit out the worthiest of them, extend the M or capital te struggling iDccbanies and artisans and then induce hlther that class of works for which our poeplo ahew the host adaptation aud for which our location is most favetable. Certainly lu dustrlcs of the c!u of the watch factory, which cenvert the smallest amount of raw material Inte the greatest value of product, distributing the largest amount as the wages of labor, are most dosirable ; aud for auch in dustrlea as the manufacture or thelr hard ware, hats and caps, clocks, buttons, Jewelry, saddlery goods, rillea, rubber geed, Bhlrts, carpets, Bilks, woelons, Ac, Lancaster can eiler special advantages. Lancaster needs te unlock its undue amount et capital Invested here in bank stocks, mortgages aud Judg uiuuts thu londeucy has been tee strong te run lu that direction.

It may Ira profitably Nuvrgested whether a gcnernl Improvement company, te promote such ob jects ought net te be organized within the llesrd el Trade, We want Heme new railroads certainly the line te New Helland, opening an te easy communication the rich east end of the county, and a connection v la (Jtiary vllle with the lUltlmnre A Ohie hjMpui. We want street railway extensions and ready facilities te reach our suburbs, as they will aoeti be built up and occupied. Lancaster Is remark remark remark abloameng cHlmln that It scarcely has auy suburbs. We want better rates of transpor tation and uniform and certain charges for telegraphy and telephone Horvlce, as well as eflluleiicy. The II mm! el Trade has a right te demand, and It Is lis duty te nee that corpor ations deal Justly betweeu mau and man and fairly IhiIwoeii place and place. Lancaster wants cheaper light and a ready supply of steam or ether fuel distributed by mains. A MON PAUIISAN lITl riOVLUNMISKr. Hut chief among alt its needs Is a neu-partisan city government, admlnlstored by busi ness men, ler business purpese and ou busi ness principles. It has a non-partisan lire and school depart ment , It must be cv tended te council, the police, the assessor, water, streets, sowersge and ethor questions el municipal buitness. The rearrangement of the wards, redistribu tion of the police, Imtter water supply,! terage, stroetaud paving luiprotements, are nil ques tions for a buslnens men'a and uet a tielitlclan'a government.
