POLITICAL DRIFT.
Tho farmers of Pennsylvania are for
Gregg and Morrison this trip.
Scratch a mugwump editor in Penn
i sylvania and you find a ring Democrat,
flfe Vm order to suppress the Democratic
Campaign liar it may yet become neces
sary to erect turnstiles at the political
meetings.
The New York Press proposes as a
design for the Democratic campaign
badgo a barrel and a bung starter. That
would be appropriate, oven if it is not
pretty.
Pennsylvania's campaign this year
will go far toward determining results
nest year. The Republicans know this
and are not to be befogged by transient
issues.
Grangers of the Keystone state pro
pose to stand by the Republican party.
Thoy are pleased with the action of
the last legislature in distributing mil
lions of dollars for the schools and
thereby reducing local taxation.
Ho Would Bo a Protectionist.
Labouchere, the great. English editor
and Radical, was asked what ho thought
t of the McKinloy bill. He replied: "I
have never believed that the principles
j of political economy are of universal
application, Free trade suits us, but
it I had been an American I should have
been a protectionist twenty years ago."

A Now Paper.
Tho Camp Record, published at Maha-

manager, is the latost addition to Schuyl
kill county journalism. It is published in
tho interest of the Patriotic Order Sons of
America and tho Jr. Ordor Unitod Ainori
can Mochanics, and will no doubt receive a
hearty support from the members of those
two organizations. Typographically tho
Record presents a neat appearance, and its

LOOKING TO '02.
Republicans in Pennsylvania Now
Well Equipped for the Skirmish.
Everybody who has followed tho
course of the Philadelphia Evening Tel
egraph will appreciate that It is one of
tho fairest and most independent jour
nals published in this state. Probably
there has been no paragraph written
Bince the campaign opened which better
Bizes up tho situation in this state than
that In which this influential journal
caid:
"Another consideration, and one es
pecially worthy of note, is the fact that
before the people of the state this year
the Republican party has acquitted it
self with especial honor. Its nominees
for state offices have a just right to ex
pect the united support of the party in
this great Republican city, and every
one well knows that unwisdom in the
local conventions would have had a
most depressing effect upon the Repub
lican prospects in the larger arena. So,
therefore, the notion of the Republican
nominating conventions is sucti that all
Republicans and all good citizens can
contemplate with entire satisfaction.
In some respects the contest in Penn
sylvania and in Philadelphia this year,
preliminary to the great national battle
of next year, is of exceptional import
ance; and it is, therefore, the part of
political wisdom, no less than because
the public interests demand it, for the
Republican party to acquit itself most
worthily at this time."
The trouble with the coming man Is,
he's always coming and never gets
here.

THE COMING BOOM
MORE NEWS CONCERNING- THE
ELECTRIC RAILWAY.
PLANS FOR ITS CONSTRUCTION.
Tho Borough Council, at ItB Moot
ing To-night, Will bo Asked
to Make Concessions on
Lib oral Terms.
No stones aro boing loft unturnod by tho
management of the Mahanoy City, Shon
andoab, Girardvllle and Ashland Street
Railway Company in their efforts to bring
about tho oarly construction and comple
tion of tho eloctric railway.
...
The materials, put of which aro to bo
shipped this week, will be unloaded at tho
siding of the Kohinoor colliery, and from
thoro hauled to tho points In town and
vicinity where thoy may be noodod.
.
It has been decided that tho tios of tho
track will bo 7 inch faco, 6 inch thick and
7i feot long in tho ordinary highways; and
in tho boroughs the sizo will bo 8-inch faco,
7 inch thick and 71 feet long. The polos
in tho boroughs will bo 30 foot high, 7
inches in diameter at tho top, and ton
inchos thick six feet from tho butts. They
will bo planted six feet in tho ground and
located 125 feot apart. Tho poles outsido
tho boroughs will be 25 feot high. Tho
contract provides that tbo polos shall bo as
straight and neat as possible.
To-night tho company will ask tho Bor
ough Council to pormit tho layfng of "T"
rails in tho town, providing tho members
can bo satisfied that such a rail makes a
track suitable for wagons and other vohlclos
to cross easily.
V
This can bo demonstrated to tho street
committee if Council will authorize It to
visit Scranton and Wilkes-Barro, at tho
expense of the company, to inspect tho
electric railways of tho two towns.
...
Tbo company is also willing to incor
porate in its stipulation that at tho ond of
six months, should Council doom tho fiat
rail moro desirable, tho "T" rail will bo
taken up and replacod by tho flat rail.
And, further, when tho borough pavos
stroots with block, cobblo, or asphalt, tho
street railway company will pavo between
tbo tracks and 18 inches on tho side with tho
same material.
.
It will not bo long beforo one of these
styles of paving will bo adopted by tho
boroughs of tho valloy and tho company is
satUfied that tho revolution will bo hastened
by tho construction of tho eloctric railway.
V
Tho company is also satisfied that tho
electric railway must incroaso tho business
of tho towns through which it will pass, as
tho facilities for travel afforded by such
railways have demonstrated themsolvos
beneficial to all municipalities that have
boon fortunate enough to secure them.
.
It will bo very expensive to construct the
road for traffic over the mountain" from
Shenandoah to Mahanoy City but, in tho
language oi the presidont and other officials
of the company, "it can and will bo dono."
Tho president of tho company writes to
the Herald, "The first effort will be to gel
tho railway west to Ashland, and da so at
once."

How tho "S'nows" Contradlots It
self by Paragraphs.
Tbo reliability of tho Sunday Snews
may bo gauged by tho following list of
contradictory paragraphs, clipped from last
Sunday's issue:
Tho Republican county ticket is hopo
lessly beaten, and no effort Chairman James
and a disheartened pres can make can
can change tho result. Wo un
ders'and sovoral I'ottsvlllo lawyers of
Democratic proclivitios Intond to cut tho

Tho cutting of tho Democratic ticket
certainly cannot result in a hopeless defoat
for Chairman James.

Wo are Informed by our osteemod but
not at all times veracious contemporary,
tho Uxrald, that certain men of capital
outsido of town bavo taken hold of the
Mahanoy City, Shenandoah, Girardvilln
and Ashland railway, and will push the
enterprise to completion. In fact our con
temporary asserts that work will be com
menced, inside of a week, on tho tracks,
and that contracts for poles, motors, Ac,
have been givon out. Wo aro g'ad to
learn that tho venture is about to ma
terialize into somothing like tangibility,
and trust that tho talk of our contemporary
is not wind, as is usunlly tho caso. Many
people, however, believe that tho present
movement is only a bluff in tho hopo of
retaining the franchise grantod by the
Borough Council. That franchiso gavo
tbo promoters only ono year to have tho
road in operation, and tho time Is almost
up. Wo shall seo what wo shall eoe.
A. II. Ohadbourno of tho Thomson
Houston Company of Philadelphia, was
in town the past few days to survey the
route for tho now oluctrio railway. Ho
states that no oxpenso will be spared to
have the road in operation by Nov'embor
15. lie is ono of tho most skillful young
raon in tho business and will personally
Bupotintend tho construction of tho road.
Tho "bluff" talk is very effectually
settled by tho last paragraph.
