Powlek Preaches a Tompor anoo Sormon for tho Benefit of tho Junior Templars of Honor and Tomporanoo. Last ovoning the Junior Templars of Honor allendod tho Methodist Episcopal churoh in a body to hoar a sermon on tho groatost curso in tho world. "Woe unto him that givoth his neighbor drink, that puttest thy bottle to him and makest blm drunken also," Hab. 11-15. The great Gladstone is creditod with tho statonent that "the ravagoa of strong drink havo been greater than those of war postllonce and famine comblnod." No ono will doubt that it blights and blasts ovorything ittouches without conferring a singlo com pensating blessing. Its offocts aro 6oon upon tho drinker in his shatterod hoalth and broken moralfi and in tho povorty of nls homo and tho sufforines and Inhoritod taints of bis childron. We seo somo of its effects upon Bociety in tho accidents, in sanity and crime of which it is the fruitful source. It has moro to do with the unrest and poverty of the toiling masses and in tho conflict between labor and capital, both in thi3 country and in Europo, thanhas the tyranny of capital. It lays its hands upon tho Uongressos, Legislatures and Courts, and often shapoa our governmental policy and controls the administration of our laws. And in spite of ourselves, it is onjtlie increase. Tho production of beer last year in our country was C0,C30,0DO barrels about a half barrel for every man, woman and child. The increase over tho previous yoar was 3,000,003 barrels. Wo hear much of tho raerita of high liconse, but its chief merit is in reducing tho numborof saloons, not tho amount of liquor that is consumod. Pennsylvania, with its so-called high li conso law, consumed moro beer last year than evor before in any year of its history, and nearly 00,CCO barrels moro than tbo year before. A real temperance measure is ono that roducea the amount consumed, not merely tho number of saloons. So that high llcenso is a demonstrated failuro and an unmitigated humbug so far as tompor anoo ia concerned. And no bettor proof of this could bo had than tho fact that rum sollcri are its best trionds. It is not sur prising that men of tho world favor such measures, but tho only consistent thing for ono to do who believes in God and in tho triumph of right ia to sot his face against any law that rccognlzis its right to exi't, and to dotnand the repeal of all our lleonso laws in order to dlssolvotho partnership of our government with tho traffic. Tako from it tho snnction of law, for "it can never be legalized without sin." Personally, ho favored any and every method that was not poia ned with tho permissive feature Organize temperance societies, freoly use tho pledge, apply moral suasion to tbe drunkard and let prohibition be the policy of tho stato.

Tho chlof reason for tho rcquost by the MahanOV Citr. fthnnnmlnali f'.lriirlvlll,. and Ashlaid Street Railway Company for permission to use tho "T'' rail instoad of tho "flat" is that tho former U hrtlnr adaptod for perfect safety. in ascending grados tho "flat" rails aniWOr tho PUrnOSO. hut in nMOnmllnw grades tho "T" rail is, by far, tho safost. a. pocDie, or slightest obstruction of any kind, is liablo to throw a car from a "flat" rail on a hoavy grado, bocauso whoola running UDon such mils mntini havn fUngos of eufficijnt depth. But in tho caso oi "i" rails tbo wboels of tho cars must havo flangos that are largo enough to pre vent such accidonts. Tho argument that tho company wanta to uso tho "T" rail because it is cheapor than tho other lacks foundation. It dooa not re quire the intolligonco of an oxport to see that it costs moro to manufacture the "T" rail and that, theroforo, it would cost tho company more to uo men a rail. Tho alarm tho A'cws is sounding is un- provokod and wholly unnecessary. The peo plo need not fear that tho railway company will tako any advantago of them through the councilmen. or that the rnmininr 14 An. sirous of having any action taken by Council that will not bo in accord with the intoresta of tho neonln. Tho company la dosirous of constructing a railway mat will bo safe and ondurable ana u nas ampio capital for such an equip ment. Tho grades between Mali Ashland, and particularly in and about Ol ... ouenanuoau, aro many and steep, and to guard against accidents in descending these grades tho company recommends the "T" rail to the noonlo. This nntnrmisn is In il.n hands of men who havo a knowledge of mo manner in which oloctrio railways should bo constructed and thnw hon iho successful operation of olectric railways at lYiiiios-aarro, Allontown, Uethlehom and other largo towns to back wlmt ihntr nmn rocomm;nd to council. The company is aiso preparoa to point out town3 having heavy-grade electric railunra iht am ni.ni to abandon tho "fiat" rails and adoptod the i" pattern. The electric railway peoplo moan busi ness and only ask reasonable cnnnirlnrnllnn and tho public mav rest nsniirnrt Cnof n nt. tempt will bo mado to induce any of the councilmen, who are, of course, publio servants, to vote away any right of tho peoplo. It is hoped tho public will be oqually considoralo and not th rnw nl stacles in tho way of tho entorpriao on ac- c iunt oi any potty jealousy, or on account of any prejudice that mav eyUt. n,n.t any one who had or may have anything to uo wuu it. Tho rail ouostion is tho nnlv nMa in tho way of immediate construction of the road. Tho towna throuehout the vnllnv are anxioua f ir the advent of the great reyolutionizor and it will certainly bo an outrage if the jealousy and prejudices of a fow will be allowed to deprive tho majority of the peoplo of the great benefits so near at hand. All opposition to tho proposed chango Ukca root in self intercut. Tho company's oiler to talto nn tlm "1 ' rail at tho expiration of six months, if nit saiistaciory, and roplaco it with the "flat," ia certainly a very fair offer, hut. of those who w,ill not see, won't seo.

Engineer Gouldner, of Delano, who baa charge of the short line Pottsvillo passen ger train, was very unfortunate on Satur day. Whonhetook charge of ongino No. '106 he found it in need of rouaira. The engine was put in the Delano shops and Gouldner was givon No. 118. As the engineer pulled out from tho Lehigh Valley depot at 9.(8, pre paratory to backing down to tho Pennsyl vania depot for the trip to Pottsville, a spring of tho engine broke and Gouldner was obllgod to side-track the train until tho arrival of another engine from Dulano. Tho train loft for Pottsvillo half an hour behind time. Tho train reached Frnckvillo without ad ditional trouble, but as it doscendod tho grade a serious accident was narrowly es caped. Goufdnor received orders at Krack ville that ho tad a clear track and ho started down tho grado at a livoly speed. lie did not go far when ho saw a coal train ahead of him. Tho air brakes wero put on, but, in spite of Gouldner'a efforts, his train crashod into the rear end of tho coal train. Tho cow catcher of Gouldnor's ongino end tho platform of tho first car wcro wrecked. Fortunaloly tho cross-ties of the traok wore ploughed up and splinterod. Had they of fered any resistance tho passenger train would have been thrown from tho rail and very likely hurled down the embank ment.

Coylo, our townsman, who was nominated by tho Hopublicans oi this dit trictas a dolegate to the Constitutional Convention, If such is held, is in all ro spocts fitted for the position. Ho Is intelli gent, industrious and earnest, and whatia still more to the point, he is in full sympathy with tho interests of the pooplo. liaised in tho coal region, educated as it were in the coal breaker till ho becamo a school teacher, hia disposition is to sustain tho claims of tho laboring peoplo and sen that Justico is dono them In tbo revision of that most Important document from which emanates decisions for tho good or detri ment of our common interests. Knowing tho intorost we tako in this mattor we havo been asked our opinion of Mr. Coylo, and wbother ho would support tho interests of tho workingmen should ho bo oloctod. Our answer has invariably been, "Yes. John J. Coylo can bo rolled upon. Wo have talked with him on tho subjoct and wo aro tati-fied that, if olectod and called upon to attend to tho duties involved In thoposi.ion ho will not bo round want ing when tho test comos." Wo would riot say this much of Mr. Coylo if wo did not beliovo it, Wo look upon this matter ot holding n Constitutional Convention aa ono of tho greatest import ance Honest, independent voting, in tho first placo lomands it, for not until tho presont system is changed can tho work ingmen as a clas, go to tho polls with tho full knowledgo that they can cast a freer and independent voto, uncontrolled by iiid fear that such voto cast in opposition to ttio wishes ot their employer, or somo of hi3 moro unprincipled whippors-in, who disgraco themselves by interfering with tho most sacred right of an American workman and control his right of citizen ship to suit their own partisan desiros, and failing to induco him to bo their sorvilo tool, annoy or prosecute him in ways fa miliar to themsolvos, which thoy pos ess by virtue of tho petty authority with which thoy aro clolho I as bosses of coal mines or somo other publio works. Also, it is needed to protect tho honest but un wary voter from tbo tricks and machina tions of tho unscrupulous politician, and put an ond to his schemes and political speculation. But, as wo havo said in pre vious articles, thore aro othor things rcsido the ballot that need to bo revised, and for that purposo wo need to sond men who understand the wants ot the pooplo, and -pecially from tho coal regions wo need to send men who undo stand our needs. Aa it has always been, tbo lawyer o omont will predominate and good lawyers of the right class, if not too many, will be useful, but othor kind of men are needed so that tho people bo properly represented, and pec' ally, do we urgo on tbe workingmen that they vole fur the men only who can be depended upon to look af.er their inter ests. Such men as Powderly, Pomeroy and Coyle. Whatever you do in tho way of voting for men to fill the state and county offices, do not forget to cat your vote for the Constitutional Convention a: d for good men to represent you when it meets. 2Vi- l(Vt'y Hetord.
