TROLLEY NEWS.
Two weeks will be required to tran-
scribe the voluminous notes of testi-
mony in the trolley case. Inthe mean-
time regular court will convene, and
final argument in the case will neces-
sarily be deferred until after May
court, says the Somerset Democrat.
In the meantime the Penna. & Md.
Co. is pushing its work right along.
The engine and the dynamos for the
power house arrived today, and will be
at once placed in position. The engine
weighs 78,000 pounds. Nine additional
carloads of rails also arrived this week,
which fills the rail order. The cars,
too, are practically completed, and
nearly everything is now purchased
and paid for that will be needed to
equip and operate the line from Salis-
bury to Meyersdale.

ASTOUNDING STATEMENTS.
Some weeks ago the Rockwood Lead-
er was venting its spleen over the fact
that the township supervisors of Elk
Lick and Summit townships permitted
the Penna. & Md. Street Railway Co.
to use the public road in a few places
in constructing its line from Salisbury
to Meyersdale. The said sheet not
only denounced the trolley company
but also declared that the supervisors
should be hanged by the heels.
Shortly {thereafter Tur Star asked
the editor of the Leader to antwer cer-
tain questions pertaining to the rights,
privileges and benefits of trolley roads,
knowing full well that in his attempts
to answer the questions propounded
the editor of the Leader would make a
ridiculous spectacle of himself.
- The questions were answered in the
Leader bearing date of April 19th, and,
Lord, what answers they are! The
answers would be a discredit to any
school boy. We need only review a
portion of Editor Werner’s answers to
prove to intelligent, thinking people
that none of his. answers are worth
paying any attention to, for the reason
that he is either very benighted in his
opinions, or else gave answers that he
did not believe himself. We: think the
latter conclusion would be the correct
one. Following are a few extracts
from some of the Leader’s most elabor-
ate answers:
Leader: Even in the largest cities
the trolleys are regarded as an inevi-
table nuisance, and real estate on the
streets that have them has depreciated
in value, and many residence properties
have been sold at a sacrifice to get
away from the trolleys. In many
places these trolleys have been placed
overhead and in subways to get them
off the streets.
Comment :
from the truth.
Nothing could be farther
To the contrary, in
| the largest cities the trolleys are re-
| garded as an
inevitable benefit. In
fact they are considered indispensable.
and the statement that real estate has
depreciated in value on streets that
have them, is so utterly untrue as to
make it sound silly. If Editor Werner
thinks he can buy real estate cheaper
in Pittsburg on the streets crowded
with trolley cars than he can on the
streets that have nocars, he can readily
get rid of that delusion by taking some
of his wealth and testing the matter.
Many residence properties are gotten
rid of for residence purposes in the
thickly érowded trolley districts, but
they are not gotten rid of at a sacrifice.
They are gotten rid of at fabulous
prices, because the needs of commerce
demand the sites for business purposes,
and they become so valuable that the
owners cannot afford to hold them for
places of residence.
It is also untrue that in many places
trolleys have been placed overhead and
in subways to get them off the streets.
The elevated lines and subways take
no cars off the streets at all. They
merely add additional car lines that
the streets have no room for, except
overhead or underneath.
Leader: On the best streets in
America the trolley is not allowed to
come at all, such as Broad street, Phil-
adelphia, for instance. :
Comment: It is not true thaton the
best streets in America the trolley is
not allowed to come at all, and Editor
Werner knew better than to try to
name more thsn one of those ‘‘best
streets.” Even in regard to Broad
street, Philadelphia, his assertion is
only partly true, for while no trolley
line traverses that street north and
south, it is nevertheless crossed by
trolley lines from east and west at ‘al-
most every square. Editor Werner
must think all his readers are back-
woodsmen and have never been away
from home. :
Will the esteemed editor now go
ahead and mention some more “best
streets” where the trolley is not allow-
ed to come? How about Pennsylvania
avenue, the best street in the National
Capital? And how about the best
streets in Pittsburg, Harrisburg, New
York, Chicago, St. Louis, Denver and
all other cities of importance? The
trolley is found on every one of the
best streets. But we presume Editor
Werner was thinking about the best
streets in Rockwood, Pocahontas and
several other more or less important
towns. :
Leader: Our objections to the trol-
leys squatting themselves upon the
public highways are backed by the
universal experience of other commu-
nities, where they are justly regarded
as dangerous nuisances.
Comment: Your objections are
based on no such thing. They are
based on naught but mossback ideas or
mere pretense, and if you would utter
suck “tommyrot” in communities
where they have the trolley, whether
on public roads or not, the people
| of the country,
| quite close
would ask you what section of the back
woods you recently emerged from.
Leader: The trolley is a high ty
useful modern contrivance in its own
proper place ; but its proper place is
not on the rural highways and county
bridges.
Comment: Trolley companies do
not use the public highways and
bridges thereof, as a rule, except here
and there for short distances, where it
cannot be conveniently avoided to
reach the most thickly settled portions
and most farmers pre-
| fer to hi ave the rural trolley lines in
proximity to the publie
roads:
The Leader has been shedding tears
by the slopbuckeétful over the awful
wholesale confiscation of public roads
which has at no time been attempted
or thought of by the Penna. & Ma.
Street Railway Co.. and if the misguid-
ed editor of that paper will come over
into God’s country and take a look a2
the grade, we think he will feel that he
has been making himself ridiculous
and trying to borrow all sorts of trouble
for the farmers, who would all give
bim the laugh, over this way.
We could add mapy more facts to
what we have already said, but space
and time are too valuable to make Ed-
itor Werner appear any more ridico-
lous than he has already made himself
appear by foolishly attacking the P. &
M. trolly people and the supervisors of
Elk Lick and Sarnmit tow nships.
A GRAND FAKE.
Such Was the Tillman Lecture in
Meyersdale.
of South Carolina.
Mey-
Senator Tillman,
alias Piteh Fork Ben, lectured in
ersdale, Rail-
roads, Trusts and Monopolies.” The
promoters of the lecture, or at least
one of them, advertised in Tue Star
for several weeks that Senator Tillman
last Friday evening, on *
would lecture on the “Race Problem,”
and in that way some of the Salisbury
people were fooled down to Meyers-
dale, only to hear a harangue on anoth-
er topic that did not interest them.
The lecture on the ‘Race Problem”
did not take place. because the colored
population of Meyersdale and a few
white “sissies” objected to it. The:
weak-kneed, chicken-hearted® gentry
that arranged for the lecture meekly
knuckled under to colored sentiment
preferring to fake and disappoint the
people in general in preference to go-
ing counter to the wishes of the ‘‘cul-
lid” folks, whom they evidently recog-
nized as their equals, and who doubt-
less are the equals of such weaklings
as they.
We are not here to champion the
cause of Senator Tillman in his crusade
against the negroes, and we cannot tell
to what extent we would agree or dis-
agree with him, having never heard
him. But we are here in the defense
of free speech, on any legitimate topic:
whatever, and we would like very much
to hear what Senator Tillman has to
say on his favorite subject. The peo-
ple who want to hear him have a right
to hear him, and those who are oppos-
ed to his race lectures have the right
to stay away and mind their own busi
ness.
If we would once go so far as to ar-
range for such a lecture, we’d like to
see the color of the negro’s kinky locks
or the white man’s straight ones, the
wearer of which could force us from
our purpose or intehtion.
If the promoters of the Tillman lee-
ture wanted to change their program,
they should have advertised the change
in plenty of time, so that people
wouldn’t be. fooled to Meyersdale to
hear a lecture that failed to materialize.
Most of the people from here who in-™
tended to go, got™onto the fake before
starting, and very sensibly remained at
home. Others, however, were made to
believe that the Senator always weaves
his race views into all of his lectures:
on other topics, and expecting that be-
would do so in this instance, they were
easily roped in, only to be disappointed.
An effort was made at the last mement
by one of the lecture promoters to.
make us believe the same’ fairy tale;
but it didn’t work, for we refused to
believe that Senator Tillman was sueb
a coward as to sail under false colors or
strike from ambush, as it were. And
he didn’t do it, either.
The colored people of Meyersdale
can have only contempt for a set of
weaklings who had arranged for a lec-
ture on the “Race Problem” by one of
the most virulent enemies of tke Ne-
gro race, and then called it off simply
because they lacked the courage to
have it delivered. The colored people
well know that the promoters of the:
Tillman lecture are the same as Til)-
man in sentiment, but too cowardly to
stand up boldly for their convictions, as
does the old son-of-a-gun from South
Carolina.
