CHg . Some Singular Errors About Eagles Mere. A Philadelphia correspondent writes about a notable feat by Mr. John 11. Swinburg of that city in >wimmiug the length of Lake Ea gles Mere. It speaks of the distance being a mile and three quarters and if lie means that the round trip from one end to the other and back is that long it is approximately correct but the article reads as if the lake was one mile and three quarters in length. The other statement was that the temperature of the water was fifty degrees when in fact it was probably seventy degrees. Really thi' temperature of the water in Lake Eagles Mere does not vary greatly in any part of it from that of the bathing beach and at no time in any j-utmner has any such figure been reached as it is represented this swimmer had to deal with. The temperature of the water from the bottom of the artesian wells is about from forty two to forty four and is about as cold as one cares to drink it. 'litre is 110 danger of cramps at any time in our lake from the coldness of the water. Another statement was that the thermometer went down to thirty six in the middle of the summer. It would be a sufficient answer to this interesting fiction to say that on the lawns of most of the attractive cottages of our place are beds of sen sitive flowers that would be ruined in one night with any such condi tions. The fact is that at 6;:l0 in the morning of June 25th the thermom eter stood at fifty and this was the lowest figure in daylight this sum mer. While this summer seems to be characterized as the coolest in many years there has been no time when the visitors were not comfort able as is clearly evident in the larg er number than have ever been here before and that they stayed is an un erring indication that they were en joying it. Eagles Mere has never made a better record for itself than in this year of (Jrace 1902. With some changes iu methods that it is hoped may lie brought about it is destined to continue to grow as it has done. No boom is to be anticipated, no speculation in values but the posi tive anil reliable progress that will stay with it. There is 110 specula lion in Eagles Mere property and it is to be hoped that any such idea may be gotten rid of as we believe it has retarded our progress in the pasl and perhaps it may siill do so to some extent now. It has a posi tive value but not a speculative one. When holders of property who may have it for sale will learn this lesson it will probably be to their advan tage and it certainly will be a good thing for the place. A gentleman of wide spread ob servation and who lives at Scranton said to the writer that "there was no place in Pennsylvania that could compare with Eagles Mere and that the Pocono Mountains are not in it." Thisisnonew sentiment buf unfortunately our people are inclin ed sometimes to depend too much on the natural attractions and to for get that unless these natural attract ions are supplemented with the com forts and conveniences that belong in present day life together with the attentions that come from alert, in telligent and industrious residents we shall lag in the race for a growth of material prosperity. Nature and skill have done much for our vil lage in the mountain top but we are by no means to the fore as we should be. However we are strongly inclined to believe that the material advan ces of the last two years are only the beginnings and that when the crowd comes again in 1908 they will find that our community has not been indulging in any Hip Vauwinkle sleep by any means.

NO TARIFF SMASHING UNANIMOUS CONCLUSION OF RE PUBLICAN LEADERS. The Bn«lne»a Men of the Country Will Welcome Thla Deelnlon or the President Hud 111* Advlaera ®f» Sound, Senatble and Patriotic. No tariff legislation at this session of congress and no tariff nevislon now at all is the unanimous conclusion of n conference of Republican congressional leaders at the White House, whither they had been summoned by President Roosevelt. Representative Babcock of Wiscon sin, author of the bill reducing the du ties on certain iron and steel products, was present at this conference and joined in its verdict. If the Massachu setts legislature had passed that reso lution demanding the passage of the Babcock bill, how absurd would now be the Massachusetts attitude! The Republican majority of the common wealth has new cause for thankfulness that the common sense of the Massa chusetts house balked this programme. The decision of President Roosevelt and his advisers that the tariff shall not be changed rallies all the solid, con servative business forces of the coun try to the support of the national ad ministration. Merchants, manufactur ers, bankers, are satisfied with things as they are. They have 110 yearning to embark with new experiments. They know by the experience of 1802-97 the terrible cost of a political campaign against the American system of pro tection. to which the trade and indus try of the United States have adjusted themselves as they have to the gold standard of currency. Every newspaper that now advo cates a smashing of the tariff, every politician that insists 011 the reopening of this difficult and dangerous question, makes itself or himself at once the foe of every prosperous business man in the community. The Democracy in congress has assailed the army, it has found that that did not "pay" and is now abandoning it, but with that per fect genius for blundering which has distinguished this once great and strong American party ever since it identified itself with the cause of slav ery sixty years ago the Democracy, through Its infatuated Washington leadership, turns from attacking the honor of the American soldier to at tacking the solvency of the American business man. A campaign for free trade this year will complete the mischief which the free silver folly began and drive the last merchants, manufacturers and bankers out of the Democratic organi zation. There are few, very few, of these men now in the northern states who call themselves Democrats or even infrequently vote the Democratic ticket, in the south, where the habit of years is stronger, many men of busi ness still cling to the Democracy, but in personal conviction they are not free silver men; they are gold men. They are not free traders; they are protec tionists. In other words, they are all, save In mere habit. Republicans. They want 110 tariff smashing. They arc prosper ous; tliej' desire to remain so. An anti tariff campaign by the Democracy will drive these men over to the Republic an party by the hundreds and thou sands, and it will do this all the more readily and more surely because, thanks to the "grandfather clause" and other ingenious devices of southern Democratic politicians, all fear of "ne gro domination" in the southern states has now become a harmless bugaboo.— Boston Journal, Sept.
