this, although I am not a stockholder in any
of the old companies, am In no way con
nected with any of them, and I am entirely
free to express my views on the question be
fore the people without fear, or favor.
Now wherein does this great electric light
movement take root? The source I have
located, and I have every reason to believe I
am right, is in the bosom of one who was a
stockholder in the old company, became
dictatorial, failed In his assumed power,
planned to dethrone his superior co-stockholders,
was foiled by a game of his own
kisd and then ran out upon the streets and
shouted "Stop thief f" Why didn't he cry out
liefore? Why has he remained a slleut and
active co-laborer for years in everything
Which ho now so loudly denounces? I know
that I should Insult my fellow readers of
your paper to attempt an answer to the
(mention. "Come with me and save your
selves," cries the great philanthropist, but
thus far he has failed to point out the way.
"Give us thirty or sixty days and we will
put in a plant as near like paradise as the
angels are to heaven, our poles will be stall's
of gold, our lines of silver, our light as the
dazxling sun and our rates will bust tho other
concern within six months." Tims spoke
the learned attorney who mndo the original
application for the right of way, ns I remem
ber his fervid and enthusiastic utterances,
herited. In such a case pare and rasp the
hoof level, then apply a shoo elevated to the
inside by means of two calks, placing one
bad of the inside toe, and the other crossing
the Hue of the inside, midway. Tho horse
will almost at once bring limits in vertical
position, i. e. vertical with line drawn from
point of shoulder down. And tho bones will
he a perfect column. The horse will travel
square; semi circular movement of leg and
foot, and rotating of hoof will cease, and in
consequence, will not strike.
It Is common in some localities to seo awk
ward colts, vis: cow-hocked, toe turned out
of both front and hind limbs. The owner
usually finds it necesarry to use boot on his
horse. In a case of this kind, where the
Animal straddles wide, t lie toes turn decidedly
out, a modification of the above shoe will
cause the animal to go square almost at ouee.
It consists of first making foot perfectly
level ; then apply a shoe which Is provided
with limit to its Inside, calk to lie two in
ches long. Instead of allowing calk to be of
a uniform thickues it Is made Into an In
I dined plane, starting square and fully a half
i uc li think in trout, ami gradually uecreasing
from liefore to behind where ft ends as a
minimum with the shoo. A horse perfectly
halanesd to-day may lose that nicety of
equlllbrtim by to-morrow, If lieing re-shod
a perfeetly level bearing Is not looked to.
A surplus growth at the inside or at the out
side, or at the toe or at the heel will cause
the horse to point and always to the most
elevated place ; as he will also point toward
the highest part of an uueven shoe, though
tho hoof be level. A perfectly sound horse
can lie made to stand in any manner of
strange positions at the will of the man who
duos the shoeing. By putting on a shoe
elevated to the Inside, will, if calk in high
unmiffli. cHtisfl the animal to cross his leg.
which goes to prove how easily a horse's
halancn pxn be affected. The various direc
tions a horse will point, being too high at

MAHANOY CITY,
That was about six weeks ago. What hai
developed since to strengthen the belief that
the aui lication was made in itood faith? In
the first place the promoters have gone bacV
on evory representation that was made. The
lawyer liae since stated to Couucil that be
was mistaken, that his peoplo cannot guar
antee a better street light, but will furnish
one just as good, and tho promoters of the
movement have refused to give tho lwud
Council demanded. Thoro is only one thins
in view hearing any resemblance of good
faith a charter, and that was patched after
the original application was made.
I anticipate that tho promoters will point
to the excavation that has been nuido for
the proposed plant; but who will doubt that
the headlight of tho movement would hesi
tate to spend three or live times what that
1 oxcavation lias cost, and let tho money go to
waste, so long as ho might ho able to carry
his point. And let mo say risht hero that
tho Councilmen of this borough will violate
tiieir duties if they do not restrain further
work 011 tho construction of that plant until
the company vacates tho public streets which
thev havo confiscated, lly its oxcavations
this coniiany has become u trespasser upon
public propel ty to an oxtent that is amazing,
and surely flint is no evidence of good faith.
I understand it is claimed that tho borough
surrendered tho use of a certain part of Oak
street, but I kuow, as well as many otliors,
that such an action cannot be well founded
on a mere motion of Council. Tho Council
tnen have a duty to perforin in this matter
which they should not shirk.
Hut to go back to tho main nojutSt issue,
let me say that all JUe-talk ribout silk mills,
meat houe,iec'plant, etc., etc., in connec
tion wlllf the great philanthropic olectric
light movement is worthy of no considera
tion. With 110 real evidence of good faith on
the original proposition, what confidence can
be placed ou the other high Dyers? To my
mind the latiuohinK of these additional
schemes can ouly be taken seriously as em
phatic evidence of bad faith in the original
proposition. With revenue from a silk mill,
ice plant, etc., I haven't tho slightest doubt
that the" new couiiwny would be able to
furnish light at a figure which no other com
pany could touch, provided always, however,
that the silk, ice, hats and caps, beef, etc..
should become paying investments. Should
they fail after the compauies now furnishing
the borough witli lights had been driven -out
uf existence there would bo nothing left but
to raise the price of lights, aud when the
figures would start to go up the peoplo ot
Shenandoah would be iu a position, to kick
theiukelve fur having turned down the old
fur tho new."
Gentlemen of the Ilorougb Council, lot me,
as a taxpayer and ono endowed witli a fair
degree of intelligence, udmonitu you tu
beware of false prophet. Look belore you
leap, aud don't plunge into darkness. Re
member that while you are uuty uounu 10
uiercWo economy in the management of the
borough's a Hairs, you are at tho samo time
bound to avoid ialse ecouomy. n is your
duty to encourage honest competition, aud at
the same time you are bouuu to protect home
Investments and industries. There are scores
of good citizens and worthy widows and
orphans iuterested in the companies that now
furnish light for the borough and you should
give honest, deliberate aud careful thought
to your movements, lest you by a word ruin
eiti ens and the widows and orphaue of
citisens who have helped to build up the
borough to its present proportions.
I do not mako tills plea as an interested
party seeking byinpathy, but asacitiaeu who
advocates justice in a pure and unadulterated
form. Don't lend your voices and votes to a
conspiracy based upon vengeance, but staud
up like men for what your consciencesdictate
is fair and just. Any Intelligent citizen
im.,t see that the new company cannot place
it.cii iu a position to furuiah street lights
own within the next sixty, or ninety days,
and that tho new coiniiauy made representa
tions to the liorough Couucil which it must
have known were wild aud simply ridiculous.
Ami such being the ease, what hope can be
entertained that the promises at to the other
system of light will be better fuiailed ? To
put the situation briefly, 1 feel that a better
expression ouiuot be used than one similar
to that mail by a humorous townsman the
other day, 'The philanthropist is a great
man, but he won't do."

A thorough practical knowledgo of tho
theory laid down in this bapor will mako a
man so competent that ho will not get a caso

Shoes. Various sorts are used, the Kill
bearing which is an iron plate, the lower por
tion couvex. renrescntinc tho part of ti
sphere. If this shoo is used ou u painfully
lamo horse, a tcmarkablo improvement will
lie noticed, when tho horse is led away from
tho shop.
Anolhor shoo which allows tho horeo to
seek the most comfortable position, whethor
standing or traveling is tho centre-liar suoo,
made by having a bar run from tho toe, nnd
resting behiud on a bar crossing at tho heels.
Tho centre-liar is to bo a decided lockcrfrom
before to behind.
A centre-bearing shoe acts exactly liko tho
ball-bearing, i( is a cross at centre of shoo
snd a calk nlnced exactly in centre ot oar.
whifhi acts as a nivot. A hind shoo with a
wido web on tho iusldo will sproad tho gait of
the animal considerably, but caro must do
taken not to havo the shoe thicker at any
place. To prevent a horse from foregoing
nllow a Ion'- too to kind hoof and there
is advantage in allowing too of shoo to
extend beyond too of hoof half an Inch; tho
front lion! should ic nerlect v level aim
short at toe as allowable, tho shoo should
have a decided roll from two inches book o
aud to tho toe. I liuve frequently observed
farriers In treating forgeing, allow tho wall
of hind hoof to extend beyond tho too of
shoe, giving as an excuse for doing so that if
the horse would strike no would lilt witu too
of hoof and not with tho shoo aud thus do
less damage; but of course the latter mothod
would not by any means remove tlio cause.
In contracted heels tho hoof et smaller,
ilia fro? becomes atronbicd: an Increased
concavity of tho sole, and tho wall at tbo

come almost vertical, the outer surface of
the wall is usually dry.and the hoof is predis
