WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 24. 1900.
To start the New Year's work, Soulb
Carolina proceeds to organize four new
cotton mill companies. Th's is very dis
couraging news for political wailers.
Cuba's census Is reported to foot up
1,200,000, a drop of 400,000 from the last
Spanish enumeration. The effect of Wey

By the end of the present year the
United States navy will be twice as
strong as it was at ti e beginning of the
war with t;pain. It is marked change
for the bettor, and in the direction of
peace.
Oku. Lawton s home was mortgaged
for $7500 and the Amei lean people sub
scribed more than teu times as much to
clear it oil', leaving a surpl, s. The tribute
is to a patriot whose zeal for his couutry
could not be surpassed.
Even Grneral Wheeler the old wheel
horse of southern Democracy, who is
now about to return from the Philippines,
states that the mainstay of our trouble In
the islands has been the speeches of our
fussy old fogies here at home.
Tub Republicans of Green township

That old free trade argument that our
foreign commerce oannot flourish under
protection will hardly go any longer in
view of the announcement just madethpt
exports from the United States have in
creased from $107,000,000 to S 1,233,0 0,000,
while those from the United Kingdom
were increasing from $1,087,000,000 to
$1,287,000,0(10. '1 his is the work of the
quarter of a century between 1875 and
1S90, during all of which time (he United
Kingdom has bad free trade, while the
United States has practically all the time
had protection.
Democratic leaders are wondering
what will happen next. The effect of Mr.
Bryau's premature stand on the expan
sion question, from which he Is now try
ing to beat a retreat, is causing havoc
among Democrats who do not know how
they themselves or oven their leaders
stand upon public questions. Mr. Bryan
has thus far made no declaration side
tracking silver, though most of his polit
ical i iscussinns are devoted to other top
ics. Silver, it is claimed wilt not be put
to the rear, but rather other Issues
brought formost. The distinction is
a trifle hazy even to the minds of the
faithful.
Democratic newspaper and statesmen
who are scolding about Secretary Gage's
course in depositing publio money In
batiks are omitting to say a word about
the fact that this course was followed un
der Democratic administration and that
they had no occasion to find fault with it
then. Of course their attack is merely a
political one and for a political purpose.
Jf the Secretary were to carry out theli
plan, he would be compelled to pile up
in the treasury the surplus which the
successful revenue law is now bringing
in, thus reducing the amount of money
in circulation, lor all of which, of course,
he would again subject himself to the
criticism or people whose sole occupa
tion it is to find fanlt with the Adminis
tration.
Mr. Sibley in detending Secretary
Gage against the atlac a of Mr. Sulzer in
Congress said be had read the answer of
Secretary Gage to the House resolution
and be considered it a full, free and frank
statement, which completely justified
each and every transaction. A conflagra

ud required courage and will to stop the
panio be lore it had extended itself.
had rather see the country prosper," said
he, "than to see my party succeed." The

complain of the manner in which our
Congressman is standing by thea'lminis

Thk time has come, said ex-Minister
Barrett in an ad Jress on the Philippine
situation before the Union League Club
of Chicago, when the country must take
either the opinions of actual observers
such as Dewey, Schurman, Beverldge.
Dunby and the late General Law ton, or

NEW RAILROAD TO TIDEWATER.
Line From Erie to the Chesapeake.
Indiana County's Coal to be Ulvcu
a Market. The Route Takes In
Tionesta and Cooksbnrg.
The Oil City Dtrrick of Monday gives
these particulars of a proposed new rail
road that will be read with interest by
our citizens because- the route will in
clude a goo J share of Forest county, and
will give us a new outlet to tLe east and
the west :
Last year, according to State statistics,'
only 189 miles of new railway were built
in Pennsylvania. In 1W0 there promises
to be a considerable developement. To
begin with, the business of the Bessemer
railroad is so extensive that it is reported
upon good authority that the Carnage
interests will double track It this sum
mer, but th's is not all. It may bo pre
mature to make the announcement, but a
railroad from Erie diagonally across the
State to Johnstown, where it will connect
with the Baltimore & Ohio is projected
by New York capitalists. Included In
the scheme is a proposed line from Black
Lick station, near Blairsville, to Pitts
burg, entering the city by way of the
Pittsbug A Western, Junction railroad
and Baltimore A Ohio. The possibilities
of such a s stem are apparent and enor-
nous. Now that it is suggested, it is
considered strange that moneyed meu
never thought of it before.
opens nkw norm.
It Is a new short line between the great
lakes and tidewater. It will be 210 miles
iu length. It opens up another route for
transportation of ore, grain and coal. So
quietly have the preliminaries been
transacted that nearly all the coal land in
Indiana county and considerable coal
property in Cambria county have been
purchased outright or leased. The com
pany has secured control of about 120,000
acres. In anticipation of the construc
tion of the road, the Cambria Iron com
pany this summer will spend from six to
eignt millions in improvements and ex
tension. It Is said that the rival of the
Carnagie Steel company has already
made a contract with the new railroad
for the delivery of two million tons of
ore annually for 20 years. It will put the
Cambria company in a hotter position to
meet the competition of the Pittsburg
steel king, who owns his ore road to the
lakes. If the branch to Pittsburg is
built, it will give Pittsburg another out
let to the Chesapeake and the road is
bound to coutributo to the export trade
of Baltimore.
OF BENEFIT TO ERIE.
Included in the plana is the construc
tion of a steel plant at Erie to cost $.5,000,
000. Looking to the future tho road will
be uui'.t as nearly straight as pessible to
avoid, the promoters say, the expendi
ture of millions for straightening track
later on. Where it is possible the ro-.d
will cross other lines overhead, aud the
aim will be in the larger towns to have
the tracks elevated.
In general this is the program roughly
outlined. Now for the route and further
details. Just who is back of the project
is difficult to learn, but the name of W.
B. McDonald, the wealthy New York
contractor, who is supposed to be the
man who a few days ago received the
$3o,000,( 00 contract from the Rapid Tran
sit commission to cut the subway, is
mentioned among the promoters. The
land agents and right-of-way men are
very reticent and have been at work un
der pretense of leasing ground for oil
and gas pui poses. Enough has leaked
out to convince some men who have
been suspicious for a long time that a big
operation is contemplated and (hat the
railroad is correct.
HAS GOOD BACKING.
J. L. Mitchell, formerly of Tyrone, but
now of Philadelphia, has 12,000 acres of
coal land in Cambria county. Agents
have been after him since last April to
buy his coal property, but he has sur
mised that some paying scheme was in
prospect and is holding the land for bel
ter rates. He says the name of McDon
ald has appeared in the negotiations an.i
it is believed that J. Pierpoul Morgan is
backing him. Mr. Mitchell thinks tha.
hat is known as the Canadian crowd,
Canuck capitalists who have recently
located in New York, are also interested.
He Is not sure, but he believes that the
SuawmutA Northern road, which was
built by Congressman J. K. P. Hall and
bis partner, Mr. Kaul, running from St.
Marys into Clarion county, and which
was sold within a year, is to be part of
the system. Tee prices paid lor the pur
chase aud lease of coal lands in Indiana
county are rediculously small, ranging
from $10 to $20 an acre, aud in some in
stances the land has been leased on roy
alties of 19 to 20 cents an acre annually
forever. There is no coal to be had in
Jefferson county. It is the intention of
this railroad to open up the Indiana field,
which has lain dormant for lack of .rail
road facilities aud to coke the product lor
the iron and steel business. The coal is
an extension of the Pittsburg coal vein.
THE ROUTE NEAR HERE.
The company has purchased the char
ter of the Erie, CambriJgeboro fc Titus
ville railroad, which was issued about 20
years ago, but was never built. This
corporation has a few miles of terminals
in Titusville, which are leased by the
Western New York A Pennsylvania
railroad. About 45 miles of the roadbed
was graded, but the rails were never laid.
The bed is still in good repair and in a
short time and at little expense cm be
made ready for the track. The route, as
nearly as can be ascertained now, will
rnn from Erie through Cambridgeboro
and Titusville, then to Tionexta by a
bridge acro-s the Allegheny river, then
o Cooksburg, In Clarion county, where
the Clarion river will be bridged. From
that point to Brookville, aud from there
to Punxsutawney, thence through Ind
ana county, running about five miles
east of the town of Indiana, through
Blairsville to Johnstown, where it will
connect with the Somerset branch ot the
Baltimore & Ohio, completing a through
line to Hie Chesapeake. Reference to a
map of the State will show the route to
be nearly a straight line.
The company, it is stated, has pur
chasea the Reed docks at Erie and the
city will be asked to give np what are
called thirty-two water flats. Flat is a
techinal term for the harbor frontage on
the Presque Isle bay, and will furnish
sufficient and excellent facilities for
docks for coal, ore, grain and other com
modities. It will create a n w outlet for
Erie and give that city coin men lal op-jiaip!JBuiclLIJi;ilJi'il4ieS''red.
HAS LEAKED OUT.
It is considered curious that such a
railway project should be kept for so
long a time carefully concealed from the
publio and the vigilant eyes of the Penn
sylvania railroad people, but such is the
case. It is predioted that a glorious fu
ture awaits the town of Tunxsutawney.
It is rapidly becoming a railroad centre.
The Beach Creek has purchased the
Pittsburg it Eastern, which ;uns from
Mahaffey to Glen Campbell. This sum
mer It will be extended a distance of 11
miles into Punxsutawney. When the
uew road is built tho town will be tapped
by the B. R. A P., the Pennsylvania,
New York Central and a shoit line to
tidewater. Probably the most difficult
part of the project will be to build the
rod from Black Lick to Pittsburg. En
trance into the "Sinokey City," as other
railroads have found out, is mast diffi
cult, but the B. A O. is expected to be
the open sesame. The New York capi
talists are attracted by the enormous
tonnage- of Pittsuurg, and as they say in
the slang of the streets, "they want a
piece of it." The other railroads will
make them fight for it, but all additions
to the railway lacllities will greatly ben
efit the city. Important developemeuts
are expected soon, and thi fight for right
of way, especially in Punxsutawney,wil!
be of the vigorous injunction kind.
The Parcels Post.
Is the parcels post system, under Gov
ernment control and supervision, wanted
by the business men of the United
States?
This is one of the most important com
mercial quesliors to be considered by the
lifty-sixth Congress. It has several
beatings and can be studied from as
many points of yiew.
In undertaking to. occu.iy such a large
business field as is involved iu the es
tablishment of a parcels post system for
the wholo United States, It must be re-
me in bo red that there is a vast difference
between the area to be covered in this
country and in the United Kingdom,
where such a system is successfully op
erated. There the area Involved is only
120,973 square miles; here it is 3,602,990
square miles nearly thirty times as
large an aiea as In the United Kingdom.
To establish an even has-is of postal rules
for the delivery of packages to all corners
ol the country would be as unjust to bus
iness interests as it would be ridiculous
and absurd. The large centers of popula
tion would have a decided advantage
over the more remote and less thickly
populated sections. The express com
panies would handle the volume of busi
ness to trade- centers and let the Govern
ment take the long hauls and scattered
deliveries which the express companies
now handle at a lo-s.
Now for a consideration of the moie
direct bearing of a parcels post system
upon merchants. Is it going to benefit
the wholesale man? Will it be of advan
tage to the jobber? What gain will It
bring to the manufacturer? What effect
will it have upon the mass of small mer
chants whose stores are distributed
throughout every large and small center
of population?
Such establishments as those of John
Wanamaker would find the parcels post
of incalculable value as a business ex
pansionist. These heuses now distribute
goods free of charge within 100 miles of
their stores. Through the agency of a
parcels post they would be enabled to
distribute merchandise free of transpor
tation charges to every corner of the
country. This would directly Interfere
with the local merchant in small cilii s
and in country towns, where the town
and village stores are an important lac
tor iu local prospority.
If a low rate is made on merchandise
packages, and the weight of these pack
ages enlarged, it will seriously interfere
with the efficiency of our postal service.
to the detriment of first-class matter. It
will also increase the aunual deficit In
this department, and there seems to be
no good reason why the masses should
be taxod for the benefit of a few.
A low rate of postage on parcels of
merchandise would be oi benefit to those
manufacturers who are seeking to trade
direct with consumers; it would b.- of
some assistance to wholesalers, Jobbers,
and manufacturers In the distribution of
samples to their selling agents ; it would
be of material benefit to the large de
partment stores, but the adoption of such
a rate would certainly be injurious to the
interests of the manufacturer who deals
through the trade, to the wholesaler and
to the jobber, and particularly to the
small retail establishments which are
scattered tluoughout every corner of the
country.
