It Is the trick of tho Hryanlzed De mocracy' this fall to make falso charges against Ilepullleun methods, raise a big dust, hire Republican mal contents to organize Republican bolts and then coax Individual Republicans to dosert their party on the represen tation that "party ties needn't count for anything In an off year." Uy this trick, If It shall work, the Hryanltes will get a foothold for a hopeful fight In national Campaigns, and mako Just so much more, trouble for McKinlcy, tho Republican congress and the cause of sound meney.

REMEDY HAS BEEN SUGQESTED itonrd Ollicars .liny llo Authorized to Isstio Certificate" Transportation Committee .Makes n Itcport on Freight ltntes--President W. A. May iinil Col. 1 JL. Hitchcock Chosen Delegates to the National Uonrtt ol Trnde. Last night's regular meeting of tho board of trade wns not as largely at tended as usual but those present) were prlvllesed to participate In sonic Interesting business. President May presided. Mr. Kemmerer, chairman ot tho transportation committee, presented a report on the discrepancies In freight rates to and from this city na com pared with rates and distances of other cltlJB. The report was as fol lows: On Oct. 12 I sent out to the varied manufactures and Jobbers of this city tho following retiuest: "There Is com plnlnts that our freight rates to and from this city are not s favorablo as many competitive points enjoy, which works against our manufacturers and Jobbers, I want as many facts and sug gestions as I can get (will not use any names) for a report to board of trado next Monday evening." 1 havo received several letters and a few havo called to see me, but have learned very little, and I therefore con clude that most of us are satisfied. I believe that we are as well taken earn of as many other cities, but not as well as wo aro entitled to, considering our railroad competition to this city from every section of the country. I believe this board should have a rate from New York and Philadelphia for Scranton alone, und not be. grouped with New York or Philadelphia on freights wo re ceive from the West, as wo have HO miles less hauling. We should have a joint rate of say to per car for transferr--ing car loads in our city instead of paying 2 cents ier 100 pounds. We should have attractive passenger tariff from New Mtlford, Montrose and Intermediate points, and bring that trade to Scranton which now goes north. It belongs to us. Wo purchase all their products. T11K NEWSPAPERS. Our newspapers should assist in tlds by placing as many papers In tho towns, villages and country as possible all through Susquehanna. Bradford and Wyoming counties, giving their adver tising patrons nn opportunity of solicit ing this trade, which now goes to other towns. Our merchants and manufac. Hirers should have tho opportunity of purchasing ten-ttip tickets to New York and return for J.V). Much of this could be accomplished by united action of this board. Place power behind your trans portation committee by giving your unit ed business In their hands, so they can go out on .a squeezing expedition, offer ing our entire business to the corpora tion that will give us best rates and most satisfactory service. Respectfully submitted. J. M. Kemmerer, Chairman Transportation Committee. The report was referred back to com mittee with Instructions to obtain fur ther Information and to recommend a definite plan for securing better rates. President May and Colonel F. L. Hitchcock were elected delegates, and Luther Keller and Secretary Atherton alternates to the meeting of the na tional board of trade in Washington, Doc. 14. Colonel Hitchcock presented a num ber of resolutions which the board ap proved for presentation to the national board. The resolutions provide: That the board recommend the creation of a tariff commission: that the Torrey bankruptcy bill be approved: that the board ask congress to create the pro posed department of commerce and manufactures; that the national bank ing laws be amended. DIRKCTORY ADVERTISING, Secretary Atherton read a brief state ment regarding fake advertising schemes and recommended that the board adopt a plan for the protection of its members. Mr. Atherton criticiz ed certain alleged directory publica tions from out of town, directories that were never published; unauthorized solicitors for labor union programmes and similar mediums for hoodwinking liberal advertisers. He recommended that the board members express their determination to advertise in only the newspapers of the city and other trust worthy publications and the board of ficers be authorized to Issue certificates to approved temporary mediums of ad vertising. The matter was favorably discussed at length and referred to the publica tions 'committee. A letter was read from W. Irving Chambers, lieutenant and recorder of the navy department acknowledging receipt of Secretary Atherton's com munication which presented Seranton's advantages as a site for the proposed armor plate plant. Mr. Chambers' let ter Indicated that the government might want further Information. A letter was received from the na tional board of trade enclosing resolu tions favoring the creation of a gov ernment department of commerce and manufactures. The resolutions wero adopted. ST.

They Hurled tho Hatchet, Literally nnd Figuratively. A special meeting of the builder exchange was held last night, at whJch the movement to uut un end to; the present price cutting was discussed and a committee appointed to suggest THE SORAKTON TRIBUNE-TUESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 19, 1897 a practical plan for attaining that end. It was also decided to send assistant secretary T3. F. Laudlfr to Buffalo and Philadelphia to study and report on tho methods of constructing tho suc cessful builders exchange of those cities. Street Commissioner A. B. Dunning was present nnd called the attention of thw members to various of tho city ordinances which they are In the habit of violating, when constructing build ings nnd notified them that hereafter they must acquaint themselves w.lth nnd observe the law. At the sugges tion of tho exchange he will have pre pared for the next meeting which C'C cures next Monday, a printed digest of the ordinances In question.

Judge Gunslcr Hands Down Opinions in the Alooslc Crossing and Wlnton Borough Building Cases. Two opinions wero handed down yes terday by Judge aunster. tho one re straining Mulherln & Judge from erect ing the Wlnlon borough building; tho other legalizing the nctlon of the Del aware and Hudson company in remov ing tho street car tracks at the fam ous Mooslc grade crossing. Tho Wlnton case grows out of the councllmanlc muddle up there. Mul herln & Judge wero awaided tho con tract for building a town hall an a lot bought for this specific purpose from the Hllsido Coal nnd Iron company. As the contractors were proceeding with the erection of the building an other resolution was passed ordering the work to be discontinued. There was a cessation In the building opera tions but later upon the order ot one faction of the board, which feared that the other wns Intent upon erecting tho town hall at nnother place In the bor ough, the contractors resumed work. An Injunction was sought to prevent the work being continued and yester day tho Injunction wns granted. In his opinion Judge Gunster says that tho contractors have the right possibly to sue for brench of contract but not to go ahead with the building In tho face of the orders to the contrary from the council. The defendants are mulct ed for the costs. The decision In the Mooslc crossing case Is possibly the last step In the long and vigorously fought battle be tween the Delaware and Hudson rail road company and the PIttston Trac tion company. Tho Traction people, alleged that the supreme court did not direct them to remove their tracks from the crossing but simply to e'easo cperatlng a railway on and over tho ciosslng. Tho Delaware and Hudson company filed a petition for a mandate compelling the removal of the tracks and then, a few days later, removed them by force, themselves. Court was petitioned for permission to withdraw the petition but the Traction company objected. Judge Gunster allowes the withdrawal of the petition.

Tor the Ilnptist .Illusion in the -Vay Aug District. That was a touching ceremony early yesterday morning when Isaac L. Post, the oldest member In point of yeais ot tho Penn Avenue Baptist church, and Mrs. Lemuel Amerman, widow of tho recently deceased superintendent of tho Nay Aug Mission Sabbath school, as sisted in breaking ground for the new mission building on Prescott avenue, north of Mulberry street.

Dixon, pastor ot the Penn Avenue Baptist church, offered prayer. Ttemurks were mado by tho venerable Mr. Post, who then proceed ed to displace tho first shovelful of turf on the mission site. The onlookers could conjecture the loving remembrance and tender feel ings with which Mrs. Amerman re moved a shovelful of earth In an en terprise with which her husband had been for many years such an interested promoter as superintendent of tho pres ent mission at 13:'0 Mulberry street.
