Are Pennsylvania in- dustries to bear the barden of freight discrimination in order to make up the loss to its great railroad monopo- ly, resultiog from cut throat freight cates from the West? Will our plat form makers give us an honest anti- monopoly plank, declare for the pro- tection of the rights of individuals, a strict construction of section 4 of ar ticle 17 with reference to the propos- ed sale of competing, paralel and ri- val lines of railroad and demand that the constitutionality of the sale or transfer be tested in the courts? Ir is rumored that the change in the Watchman management is ‘‘con- tingent” on a certain appointment. The pending negotiations looking to the transfer of Hon. P. Gray Meek to other and larger fields of usefulness will have to “pend” until President Cleveland ean “fix” the other fellow, But then suppose the other fellow can’t be “fixed, that's where the “con. tingency” comes in. Any way there is a terrible mental strain on some parties in town, and unless Meek is “fixed” there is danger of great and perman- ent mental derangement. When the “dicker" is completed we will be pleas ed to inform our readers of the why and wherefore.

Her only request was, that if any promin- ent Union Generals were selected, that the same number of prominent confederates should act. This request was carried out, and Sherman and Sheridan represent the soldier element of the north, while Burckner, Johnston andGordon represent that of the south. The pall bearers are Genl's Sherman and Sheridan, Johnston, Gordon, and Burckner, Admirals Porter and Row- an, Childs of the Ledger andJones of the New York Times, Ex Secretaries Fish and Boutewell.

The opposition of the West Shore and South Pennsylvania lines threatened to break down this monopoly and to give the States of Pennsylvanian and New York the benefit of a healthy competition. The recent ‘deal’ deprives the people of an anticipated advantage and again puts them at the mercy of tha mono- polies which have heretofore robbed them. The consummation of this bargain ought to bo resisted in the Courts of both States, for it is contrary to the Jaws of both, If the Courts fail to curb the dangerous power ot the railroad companies, the Legislatures of the State and the Federal authority must be appealed to for protection, The aston- ishing growth of corporated power and the astounding disregard for the rights of the people and the laws intended to protect those rights, as shown in recent transactions, challenge immediate rem- ody and redress, If money kings and railroad managers can set aside State laws and Constitutions at their pleasure, it is time for a change, DA ————— we'Wedding cards and all kinds of prin ing at the CrxTRe Pamocnar ofiice, «Read Lewis’ price iat of fish, | the general, Colonel Grant placed up- {on the third finger a plain gold ring {and then replaced upon the breast { the still thin, hand.
