The Hopubllcan of yesterday stated
that Scranton capitalists and Individual
coal opoiatnrs propose to build a now
railroad from this city to New York.
The men Interested are probably the
best known and wealthiest In the upper
Lackawanna anthracite legion.
-n organisation has been per-
president; L. A. Watres, vice-president,
1 nomas 13. Jones, secretnry; Thomas
JI. Watklns, treasurer: Hon. William
Connell, O. S Johnson, John Jeii.yn,
J. J. Jormyn, John M. Kemmercr, J J.
"Williams, C. D. Simpson, J. N. Hlco
and O Payne. The latter resides In
Kingston. All the others are Scranton
men. The now company will be known
as the New Yotk, Wyoming and Wes
tern Railroad company.
Necessary charter applications will
be mnde at once In this statu and in
Now Jersey. No details ns to route or
the time for building will bo revealed
by tlio directly Interested in tho n
teiprie. Although the project has
undfr way for a long time. It was not
made known until Satuid-iy. It is
claimed, howecr, that ptellmluaiy
surveys have been mndf over several
routes whcio track-laying would bo
necessai y.
WHY IT IS HUILT.
A weight j icason, and one not dim
cult to comprehend, Is given for the
proposed road which is to be known as
tho Now York, Wyoming and Wes
tern. The project Is suggested by pres
ent rates which discriminate in favor
of tho bituminous pioduct and further
discrimination by coal carrying roads
in favor of their own mines
Individual operators in this region
have lieen able to put on tho market
only 6,000,000 tons of coal per annum.
They say the annual output would have
averaged 0,000,000 tons more per year
dining tho last three years but for ex
orbitant cairying rates for anthracite
and a low rate for soft coal.
Bituminous coal Is can led 300 miles
to tidewater at tho rate of 2 mills per
ton per mill, while 11 mills Is charged
for catrylng anthrnclt" about half the
distance. The result is plain. It has
kept the anthracite mines idle half ths
time, has brought more or less misery
upon mine labor and seriously nffected
the success of hard coal operations. The
canylng rato on anthracite, it is al
leged, equals the cost of production and
plvcs the soft coal an almost absolute
fieedom fiom competition at tidewater
although Its mining is double tho dis
tance from the maiket
No combination rate on hard coal
can be maintained, although the late
on the soft ptoduct has always been
held Intact. The evil this condition
works on hard coal capital and labor
in tills region alone can be appreciated
from the fact that 2S per cent, of the
total output here is controlled by In
dividual oporatots.
WOULD Till INDEPENDENT.
"With a coal carrying lallroad of
their own, operators would be Indepen
dent of the present companies. They
could get their ptoduct on the market
at a reduced cost of 9 mills I)0r ton per
mile and have a fair and open Held to
compete with the bituminous at tide.
Tlicie is reason to believe tills fiom
the knowledge that tho J-mlll bitumin
ous late Is just above tho cost of cairy
lr.g. It could not be carried for less
It is hoped by the promoters of the
new road that their plans will speedily
materialize. In which even their benefit
of 6,O0P,noo mote tons of coal sold an
nually would also benefit the whole of
the Scranton coal dlsttict. Labor and
mercantile inteiests would each re
ceive its proportionate profit.
The pciesent Is consldeied a favorable
piiod for piomotlng the enterpiise on
account of the low cost of steel rails,
an Item which largely cnteis Into the
estimated cost of railroad constitution.

the whole sen leu would bo of a pntt lo

wore appropriate to the sentiment of
tho occasion. A lurge United States

Chilstlan Soldiers," 'The Banner of

"Tenting Tonight" for a choir response I
wore the voeal selections. '
"Clulstlan Puttlotlsm" was the topic
of Mr. Pierce's lingtng nddress. ills i
I text from Mark xll li, "Render unto
Caesar th" Milngs that are Caesat's
nnd unto God the things that aie
God's." In tho course of hla remarks,
ho said:
Liberty was not born with tho declaia
lion of Independence. It was born with
Jesus Christ, and is one of the blessings
which Ills s'lerillcc secured to the world.
Prom out of the centuries of durkness
and superstition, God brought an cia
of light and liberty. While Raphael was
painting plctur s of angels of light and
liberating them upon canvas, and
Michael Angelo was carving angels from
Mono. Martin Luther was preaching a
flee gospel.
WHY THCY CAME HURE.
Our free government Is not because
men desired It, but In spite of their de
sires to the contiary. Religious lntolera
tlon prompted many to seek a homo In
this far western lund, but the spirit from
which they fled pervaded their settle
ments In tho new home land. The Rpls.
copallans took the southland, and tho
Virginia was the land of milk and honey
for the Episcopalians only. The samo
was true of the Puritans In Massachu
setts. The Roman Catholics In Mary
land and tho Quakers tinder William Penn
In Pennsjlvanlu. Each colony had Its
Individual state craft, and each had Its
dominant religious belief.
Tho United States has no state religion,
but It is pre-tmlnentlv a Christian na
tion. God Is lecognlzed In our Sabbaths,
our feust davs and fnst days, in our
courts of Justice In our currency, anil
In our commercial relations. And our
government secuies to every man his
fieedom of conscience in all matters of
icllglous worship
It Is well that wn have occasions which
will awaken our slumbering energies and
stimulate our patriotic Impulses. In ISfil
this impulse foiged the words of Cal
houn Into soutlurn bayonets, and the
wisdom, an eloquence of northern states
men, "Into thunderbolts." In 18ri8 It has
fashioned the pleading cry of starving
Cubans into the patriotic re of a liberty-loving
people, who speak in the
majestic eloquence of Commodore
Dewey's licet to the nations of the wot Id
NOT AN EMPTY NAME
American lilert Is not an cmpU name
Wo hnvo no great standing armies, but
let our Hag be nailed in tho dust by
traitois' bauds and a million hearts will
throb with patriotic zeal, to defend our
honor and our Hag.
Rut I come to plead tonight for the
larger patriotism of those who cannot
be "tenting tonight on the old camp
ground" with our National Guard and
other thoroughly trained soldiers. .Man's
llrst noble duty Is towaid his God.
He has given us the faculties tho op
portunities and the possibilities of de
velopment. We must stiive to educate
Into a perfect manhood a human soul
whoso heritage is immortal
Man's III st public duty is to his coun
tiy. Tho American Idea of freedom embraces
a free lellglon a flee state, ami a free
school. Without thee America would be
false to her articles of Incoiporatlon,
false to her past grand history, f.ile t
her patriotic citizenship, false to her
heroic dead, fulso to the prlvi';e of be
ing the grandest nation under tho stars,
and false to our loving God, who bus
mado and preserved us a nation.
The patriot Is not confined to national
ity or to creed In our Grand Army
ranks today will be found many who
bear the maps of Germany, Ireland,
Sweeden, England, Scotland, etc.. In their
faces. Many nations' sons were as ti no
to our flag as our native born noblemen
Patriotism Is heatt-deep In this country
now, but peace needs patriots as much
as war. The more patriots we have in

IS NOT POLITICAL,
Patriotism docs not belong to a politi
cal party. Wu applaud when our pres
ident speaks plainly to Spain. That Is
patriotic, but tho snmo nun who ap
plauds must bo Just and honest In his
dcnllnus with his fellowtnen. Diplomatic
relations nro no more essential than
for tho men they elect to oftlce, hence
voting Is a patriotic duty.
Our patriotism must not all be shown
in tin shout, nor glittering parades. We
iud wise ludgrs, great statesmen, dis
tinguished lawyers, great moral leaders,
who shall be the true men, that like tho
minute men of, old will hap to the dls
eharge of patriotic service. Do true to
tho duties of tho hour. Our boys grow
to be men, men become soldiers anil sol
diers become heroi s In tho tumult of
the bittle. The conflict for the noblest
patrlotl"m now confronts us. Come up
to tho flag.
Interesting Pntriotic Service In tho
Scmnton Struct Hnptint Church.
Last evening's service at the Scran

charged with the elements of patriot
ism. A laige national Hag was draped
about the pulpit nnd palms and flower

In addition to the hymns sung by the
congregation, which were In keeping
with the sentiment of tho evening, the
choir rendeied seveial selections of a
patriotic nature,
Tho pastor, Rev. S. F. Matthews,
preached a soul-stlrrlng sermon, tak
ing as his text the words of Moses,
found In Exodus, xlil:30: "Remember
the Day," He then elaborated upon
the misrule of Spain In Cuba, the
wrongs pernetiated in this Island and
elsowheie among her colo.iles. In con

tribute to the memory of the Maine's
honored dead.
