PROSPECT IN NEW YORK.
Ex-Senator Warner Miller, of New
York, one of the close3t political ob
servers In the country, npeal.8 In a
very hopeful vein about the proispect
for Republican success. He says:
"New York state can bo carried by the
Republicans at the November elec
tion. There has been a tremendous
reaction all over tbe state against the
Democratic party as dominated and
ordered about by David B. Hill. The
exposures of Democratic purposes at
Albany, taken in connection with the
methods by which they obtained con
trol of the upper branch of the Legto
laturo, have disgusted large numbers
of Democrats, who will follow Hill to
the polls If necessary to defeat him,
The best feature, however, of theDem
ocratlo domination and legislation has
been to arouse Republicans to a pitch
where they will do their utmost to
carry the state, and will be able to
effect perfect unification for that pur
pose, and to make an attack on the
Democrats that will be irreslstable.
It is apparent at the present time that
Hill has killed Cleveland as a Demo
cratic Presidential nominee, but Cleve
land's friends, by their antl early con
vention movement, havo also killed
Hill. He rray secure the nomination,
but he certainly will not secure the
election. By the way, it Is a most un
fortunate spectacle for the state of
New York to be presided over by a
Governor whose only answer to the
committee of bualrfesa men of the
metropolis who visited htm to secure
his influence to increase theapproprla
tion for New York's exhibit at the
World's Fair was to exolalm; "Ratsl"
It Is ignominious that theetateshould
be ruled by such a Chief Executive.."
Some doleful people are going about
tho country saying that within the
next ten years thj United States will
not produce enough breadstuffs and
provisions to meet the demands of
home consumption. They prolA.bly
do not know that not half of the lands
of the United States, exclusive of
Alaska, have yet been even surveyed,

much less settled upon. Thesurveyed
lands in tho United States amount to
day to 285,000,000 acres, the unsur-
veyed to 294,000,000. Substantially all
the surveyed land is arable, and not
more than half of It is now under cul
tivation. Of the unsurveyed land, at
least half is arable. The production
of tho United States could therefore
be, at the lowest calculation, three
times as great as It is, so that even
when we havo 200,000,000 population
we shall be able to supply ourselves
with agricultural provisions and still
send abroad three times as much as we
are sending to-day. Despite the poor
old croakers, there is a lot of fun to be
had in this fine old country yet.
NO SUBTERFUGES.
The stupendous and unlawful "deal"
can only be properly ond effectually
assailed by the state authorities and in
the name of the state.
It is a moskory and false pretense to
say that a private litigant should instl
tuto local proceedlnga against the
"combine." A private person would
not have the legal status, thewealth,
northe legal facilities for making an
efllclent contest. Tbe state has a
standing and priority In her tribunals
that tbe citizen has not. Besides, the
Issue should not be embarrassed nor
obscured by the injection of any pri
vate interests in the controversy.
The state may well say and ought to
say that it has no concern with the
conflicting iateredts,ambition8,or rival
rles of corporations, syndicates, or In'
dlviduals. Its concern ought only to
be to uphold the laws,enforce the Con
stltutlon, protect the rights of all the
people, and to compel tho corporations
that hold the franchises of the Com
monwealth to obey and conform to its
fundamental law.
There need be and should be no sub
terfuges nor false pretenses in the mat
ter. If the state authorities do not act
efficiently and the monopoly will be
Kiven immunity. There can be no
shifting of responsibility. The execu
tive authorities, as all the world can
see, are either with the Constitution
or with tho monopoly. There is no
middle ground and the people will not
bo deceived. JIarrisburg Patriot.

Number of PupliB Closed
Out.
Superintendent Freeman is hustling
about trying to securo halls and other
places lhat will make suitable temporary
school rooms ior the accommodation of tbe
pupils who attended tho schools in the
"While street building. Tnus far he bai
been quite successful and it is expected that
accommodations will bo provided for all
within a few days.
Tho abandonment of the "White street
building has deprived the School Board of
six large school rooms. Tho teachers in
those rooms were A. E. L. Leckie, Misses
Lizzie Lessig, Carrie "W. Faust, Margie
E. Cavanaugh, Mary II. Wasley and
Oarrio Smith. Tho pupils numbered about
800.
Among tho places applied for and offered
for school purposos aro tho P. M, church
hall, tho M. E. church Infant class room,
tho Presbyterian church chapel, Phoenix
Fire Company's room and tho hall in
Franoy's building occupied by tho Salva
tion Army. Even should all those places
bo taken it is quite likely that more room
will be required.
Some of tho places under consideration
aro hardly suitable- for school r)urpose3 on
account of tho means ol entrance and
oxit, but so many pupils aro now shut out
and the school rooms in other buildings are
so crowded it will be necessary to put up
with such Inconveniencoa for a whllo at
least.

Another Hallway Rumor.
A gang of P. & R. railroad navvies were
put to work on the open pleco of ground at
tho north end of Emerlck street yestorday
morning, and a roport spread to tho efloct
that tho P. & R. company intended build
ing a short branch lino to connect its road
with tbo Lehigh Valley at a point a littlo
this side of tho rod bridge. A Herald re
porter found the gang tearing out an old
foundation wall which was laid some time
ago for an Ice house to be used by a brow
ing company. The site was abandonod be
foro tho wall was completed, becauso tbo
parties wbo wore to havo uso of tho build
Ing wanted it locatod nearer tbo freight
depot. Tho foreman of tho gang said ho
was instructed to tear out the wall so that
the stones may be used at other places.
"When asked if tho work was not a fore
runner of a connecting track between tho
Roadlng and Lehigh roads he said ho know
nothing of it, only what ho hoard outsiders
Bay, but ho did not think there was any
thing in the roport.

Cancelling Machines.
Undor the contract for one hundred can
celling ard post-marking machines, which
has buen entorod into by the Postmastur
Goneral, tho machines aro to bo furnished
on the first of March. There aro 128 first
class post offices, and tho machines will
probably be placed I a 75 of them. They
have an average rate of cancelling and
post-marking of 80,000 piecos of mis
cellaneous mall matter per hour. An
electrical macblno, manufactured In Now
York, is soon to bo put Into soveral of tbo
officos for experimental test. It is claimed
that this last-named machine has dovolopod
rato of 40,000 pieces per hour. Tho
cancelling machines now in use are rented
by the Government, tho title of the
machines romatnlng in the patonteos. Tho
object of tho Department in putting in
those cancellers Is not only to prevent all
delays in post offices duo at any accumula
tion of mail, no matter in wbatfluantities
it may be dropped, but also to enable tbe
clerks wbo have hitherto done tho hand
cancelling to devote thomsolvos to otbor

THE WATER QUESTION
ARGUED IN COURT.
ALL
PARTIES TO THE SUIT
REPRESENTED.
THE COURT TOOK ALL PAPERS
A Decision is Looked for at an
Early Date A Growing Senti
ment That the Injunction
Will bo Sustained.
Tho much-talked-of injunction suit of
tho Shenandoah Water and Gas Company
against tho borough of Shenandoah hts
been argued at last.
Tho suit was called up yestorday before a
full Bench at Pottsvillo. All parties woro
ably ropresentod by counsel and the argu
ments madu were listened to atteniivoly by
all in tho court room.
Tho joint committeo which has handled
tho water question in behalf of tbo bor
ough was ropresonted by Messrs. M. E.
Doyle, T. J. Higgins and A. B. Lamb.
Messrs. J. O Roads, S. D. Hoss, John
Cather, Elmer "Wasley and Thomas
B ddal), E-q., represented tbe old com
pany. D. O Honning, J. "W. Ryon and S. G.
M. Hollopoter, Esq., prosentod arguments
in favor of tbe injunction and ox-Judge
James Ryon and J. H. Pomeroy, Esq.,
presented tho case for tho joint committeo.
The court carefully noted all tho points
made and took all pspora submitted upon
conclusion of tho arguments.
U he case is an important one and the
decision will bo awaited with interest by
many others outside, of those directly
interested in the case.
Many pcoplo who beard tho arguments
are of the opinion that the injunction will
be sustained. In fact some members of
the joint committee havo conceded that
the new water works cannot bo pushed
ahead until a special olection Is hold. This
concession is an admission that tho injunc
tion will bo sustained. Still these opinions
and concessions do not alter the law and
the people will be on tho anxious bonch
until the decision in tho case is announced,

Ediiok Hkiiald: Please nllow m
ipaco in your papor in regard to tho Ques
tion in your paper under tbo head of "jh
It True?", wherein It Is asked if Lamb
and Malone made a deal. If they did not.
I bollovo Baird would have been oloctod in
the Second ward, becauso it would take all
tho Republican workers In tho town to
save Lamb from defeat. Do you, as a Re
publican, bollovo it right for Lamb to go
to tho Second ward and make a fight for
Council and forget tho School Director in
his own ward? I heard him say that ho had
a moro important fight in the Second ward.
Now, if the Council was moro important in
tho Second ward than the School Director
in tho Third they might forget that thoy
bad any ono running for School Director
in tho Second ward and only work for
Council. Givo us a straight Republican
ticket next year. Why did not Balrd run
with Stout if the Stout mon wore all for
tbo tickot? Keep quiet, pet Lamb.

"Why Not "In It ?"
Editor Herald : An article communi

concerning tho formation of an nmateur

For what reason I am unab'o to occount.
I therefore beg leave to ask Mr. S. S., the
instigator of tho movement, his object In
omitting Shenandoah from tho deal. I
think we can compete with any of the
towns enumerated, both in support and in
material of a team. Wo are by no means
in the rear. When it comes to ball playing
wo are "in it." Just give us a chance, Mr.
S. S., to enter your proposed league We
will willingly appropriate the sum required
for tho entrance fee and place a pennant
