This will be recognized as an ex
ceptionally strong organization and
as soon as the new owners become
entirely familiar with the possibili
ties and the needs of the road it is
believed that measures will be taken
for its development that it will be
of very great advantage to the in
terests of the country through which
it runs. We believe that, in the near
future through trains will he run be
tween \\ ilkesbarre and Williamsport
over this line under such arrange
ments as will harmonize with all the
connecting lines anrt secure to all
our manufacturers all the advantages
of all the different roads with which
it will conuect, It has always been
the policy of the management to
secure the good will of their con
nections and in this particular di
rection there will be a widening out
on the same lines that will foster all
the industries along the W. & N. B.
We wish the new owners and the old
management all possible success.—

With this new organization com

Tho following article, is what a
correspondent to the Bulletin , has
to say about the feeling existing be
tweeu Ireland and England It in a
true statement and each and evory
Irish voter in Sullivan county should
read it with interest.
THE IRISH AMERICAN VOTER"*
Nome Very l'lniu Fact* Given In
Relation to Their Position
With England.
To THE EDITOR : While Mr. M.
J. Costello is so ably handling the
Egan question and giving the true
reason for Democratic dislike of our
Chilean Minister, I wish to express
my surprise that any true born
Irishman, having the interest of his
rr.ee at heart, especially the laboring
portion of his people now residing
in this country, can concientiously
vote the Democratic ticket, except
in cases of local elections', when tis
but to vote for the best men offered
in nomination, regardless of party
creeds. I can understand why a
man of any nationality, out side of
the Irish race, may follow the teach
ings of Democracy, for like as in re
ligious creeds, young men generally
adopt the creed of their father,
whether it be political or of a re
ligious nature.
But now we have all Ireland
justly asking the sympathy of tbe
whole world, in the great struggle
to throw off the yoke which England
with her grasping prospensities has
fastened about the necks of the Irish
people. They are doing all that a
down trodden and desperate people
can do, to free themselves from
England's iron heel. Therefore the
Irish people cannot have any par
ticular love for that portion of the
English race who are interested in
England and her institutions in
general.
During the hent of the last Presi
dential campaign, when the Republi
cans were charging the Democrats
with being the medium through
which Great Britin was doing her
utmost to establish free trade in
this country, that she might fatten
herself at the expense of American
industries. Cleveland and all the
Democratic papers denied tho fact
in the strongest language at their
commaod. But when the cute
California Republican wrote the
English Minister, Mr. Sackville
West, asking which of the two can
didates, Harrison or Cleveland,
would be best to be elected for the
interest of England—Mr. West, sup
posing lie was talking to a friend of
England's interest—at once answer
ed that Cleveland was undoubtedly
the best man for English interests.
The letter was at once made public
and the effect upon Cleveland's
chances of election became apparent
to the Democratic leaders. Grover
lost his temper and asked England
to recall their minister at once ; not
because West had spoken well of
Cleveland, but. because by his speak
ing honestly to his supposed friend,
he had let the cat out of the bag
which made it useless for the Demo
crats to try to hide the facts any
longer.
This incident alone opened the
eyes of scores of Irish voters in this
country, and many to my knowledge
voted for Harrison at that time, who
would have voted for Cleveland, but
for the incident above mentioned.
Now there is no denying the fact
that all there is of the free trade
element in this country is harbored
by a portion of the Democratic party.
This part is purely English. Were
it not, for England not a word of it
would be heard in this country to
day. This being true, all England
is watching every op ortunity to
spring free trade on thi.» country, if
she can, and all Englishmen not in
terested in manufactures in this
country look to the Democratic
party to help them establish their
pet scheme here. And, it has been
the custom, as far back as I can re
member, for all of Ireland's sons to
vote the Democratic ticket as fast
as they landed on American soil and
received their papers giving theui
the right to vote, and, until the
Sackville-West incident struck the
country in such a sensational man
ner, the bolts from the Democratic
party by the Irish people were few,
but owing to the quick witted race
who are never slow to see a point
presented as plainly as in the in
cidont above mentioned. The Irish
people now see for the first time
that while they have escaped the
tyrant's yoke by emigrating to this
country, yet up to date England
has given them a razor with which
to cut their own throats, by working
through the Democratic party which
she saw the Irish had adopted as
their political creed. Therefore we
see England and Ireland with
clinched fists draw at each other at
home, but in America, both voting
the same ticket, which means, ire
land playing into tho hands of her
bitterest enemy. But, thank
Ileaveu, they now begin to see
where they stand, hence the new
Irish Republican organization which
seems to be increasing its numbers
rapidly, and if Irishmen consult
their personal interests and did
what is best; political for themselves
in this country, there would not be
one Irish vote cast for a Democratic
candidate for a leading office until
the party h:*d by public outcry an
nounccd to the world that they hi d
once for all abandoned England'®
f,'ee trade scheme and propos-ed
hereafter to work for America and
American interests- We are glad ti
see the new and popular movement
—it shows that our people are think
ing for themselves.
