PICKED IT BY THE WAY.
THINGS SEEN AND HEARD IN THE )
TOWN AND VICINITY.
Mutlcr* or a Local Nature Written I |
ami l'lceI Itefore the Header* of tlic
••Tribune" by the Saunterer Something;
Here May Interest You.
The rough and ungainly ap
pearance of many of the build
ings in town is a topic that is
very often commented upon by
strangers who visit Freeland
for the first time, and indeed,
many of them are not slow in
expressing disappointment at
some of the shabby sights that
meet their gaze. 1 met a gen
tleman of this kind on Thurs
day and he was very emphatic
in speaking of the citizens
who failed to beautify their
residences out and about the
building as well as on the in
side. He said bis business
compelled him, during his brief
stay here, to enter nearly all
the dwellings in the town and
he was surprised to find every
thing inside neatly furnished
and decorated in good taste,
while the weather boards on
the outside of the buildings, in
many instances, were as black
as night for the want of a
small quantity of paint.
The gentleman was not much
mistaken in sizing up the
town, for there are many
houses that if they would re
ceive an application of the
painter's brush it would give
them an entire new lease of
usefulness, and there are more
that could be greatly improved,
both in appearance and value,
by being repainted. However,
many people are well satisfied
that they own a house without
being painted, and many a
hard day they worked to get
the means to build it, still that
is no reason why they should
leave the building unfinished,
because no residence is com
pleted until it is painted. It
would surprise most people to
see the change that SSO invest
ed in paint would make in the
appearance and value of their
homes, but as some have no
inclination in that direction,
strangers may come and go
and comment as they please, j
The application for a charter
for the Mining and Mechanical
institute of town is an indica
tion that the institution has
come to stay. The number of
young men who now attend
the school and use the reading
room and library is increasing,
but not so rapidly as it should.
The boys of Freeland and
vicinity who do not attend are
missing an opportunity to ac
quire an education in mining
and mechanical work, and
many of them may yet have
cause to regret in neglecting
to avail themselves of this
chance. The rates of tuition
are certainly very low, and
even though the majority of
our young men may think their
lives will be spent in some
other business, they should re
member that what they learn
there will never be a burden to
them but will assist them in
any undertaking they may fol
low for a living.
While I know but very little
about the financial accounts of
the institute, it is evident that
up to the present time the
school has not been self-sup
porting. Fitted up as it is,
and occupying excellent quar
ters in a central location, the
expense must be quite heavy,
and it is not likely that the
money contributed by the pu
pils lias been sufficient to de
fray the cost of maintaining it
and keeping it up to its present
high standard. The financial
part, however, is hut a second- j
ary consideration in the eyes
of the gentleman who founded
the institute, and if its advan
tages are appreciated as fully
as they should be 1 have no
doubt but that it will
receive
all the encouragement that it
may require. The young men
of town should do their duty
to themselves and the school,
and in time Freeland will be
recognized as the seat of an
institution that will be a bene
fit to the town in every respect.
_ The Republicans in this sec
tion of the county don't give
way to their feelings in public
very often, hut last week their
indignation was thoroughly
aroused by the article which
appeared in the Wilkes-Barre
"Record,'' which intimated
that the lower end candidate
for the congressional nomina
tion of that party is using ,|i K .
honest methods to secure that
honor. The push and energy
displayed by John Lcisenring
since he lias entered the race
! for the office would not startle
j the sleepy Republicans of the
upper end so much if they only
knew him, because it is char
acteristic of the man in all his
undertakings, whether they
are for business or pleasure.
They cannot, it seems, com
prehend the fact that in this
age it is the hustling man who
"gets there." Because Mr.
Leisenring has been making
friends right and left the past
month in his opponent's strong
hold, the "Record," rubs its
eyes in astonishment and
ascribes to money the progress
which his frank, manly cam
paign has done. Such logic is to
be expected from the fogies who
are content to live upon past
history and snarl at the ener
, getic and pushing young men
who come out openly and fight
for an office when they want
it. The Republicans of Lu
zerne have been so long under
the thumbs of a few Wilkes-
Barre people, and so used to
having the ticket cut and dried
for them before convention
day, that the party organ con
siders it a sacrilege for any one
not chosen by it to seek an
office.
The opposition to Mr. Leisen
ring's candidacy by a few dic
tators at the county seat would
be overlooked by the voters of
the party in this end if done
fairly, but it was a mean ad
vantage they took, and when
it is done maliciously, as they
say, to defame his character,
then they claim the right to
protest emphatically against
such a charge, and from what
11 have learned, if the accusa
tion was a little more specific,
the writer of that article would
probably be given an oppor
tunity to prove his assertion
before some legal tribunal.
But he throws out insinuations
only, and when the same are
not accompanied by substan
tial evidence they usually re
turn like boomerangs upon the
heads of those they were intend
ed to benefit. That such will
be the case of the "Record's"
veiled slurs is very certain,
and the opening up of this
question will do the lower end
candidate no harm.
It was a foolish idea which
prompted the friends of Morgan
B. Williams to assail Mr. Leis
enring in a blundering style
through the press, because he
is such a popular man in this
region that even Democrats
have to admit that the attacks
were shameful and undeserved,
and anything that may be said
or done against him will not
lessen him in the estimation of j
the public. The Republicans
in this end of the county claim
he has a spotless record, and
they can well defy the friends |
of his opponent to dispute
that claim. Since boyhood he
has lived in lower Luzerne, [
and almost everybody who has j
resided any length of time in j
this region knows him to be a
plain, ordinary man who is
above, the machinations at
tributed to him, and I am not
surprised that the Republicans
hereabouts arc indignant at
the unjust treatment given him
by the "Record," which must
I be blinded by its own conceit
and pomposity.
That ungratefulnesss or ig
norance was at the bottom of
the attack is shown in the sen
tence which reads as follows:
"Now ho has the sublime as
surance to ask for an office
which he lias done nothing to
deserve, and insults the man
hood of the party by shaking
his money hags in their faces."
Is it possible that the "Record"
is not trusted by the Republi
can leaders with the names of
the staunchost friends of the
party in the state, or does its
editors imagine that an asser
tion like that would pass un
challenged? Mr. Williams'
friends cannot he excused for
their ignorance if they do not
know that the Leisenrings are
j as ardent Republicans as there
are in Pennsylvania, hut it ap
pears that a man must be a
chronic office-seeker for a cen
tury back before the "Record"
will concede him the privilege
of exercising the right which
every citizen holds.
It is true that the name of a
Lcisenring lias not been on the
ticket every other year or any
other year, but it lias been
placed elsewhere and lias been
of more benefit to the party
than the daily chirp of a
dozen sheets like his traducers.
Unlike some Republicans of
upper Luzerne, the Loisenrings
have not been known to skulk
when the "sinews of war"
were needed, but backed their
opinions with cash in order
that the organization could be
kept intact, and through that
others have waxed fat. How
absurd it is for the leading or
gan of the county to ask what
Mr. Leisenring has done for
the party? T. V. Cooper, ex-1
chairman of the state commit- j
tee, can furnish some interest
ing information upon that
point, and before the friendsof i
Mr. Williams again exhibit i
their lack of sense they should i
look up the. records and learn j
who are the prominent Repub-1
licans.
After finding that its at- ;
tempts to blacken Mr. Lesen-:
| ring's character were futile,
the "Record," on Tuesday last, j
opened up the subject again
by securing an interview with
the candidate, who happened
to be in Wilkes-Barre the pre
vious day. It made some wry
faces while swallowing its silly
charges, and its endeavors to
crawl into a hole were really
amusing. The animosity of
the "Record" people is notice
able, nevertheless, in their re
fusal to quote the candidate
correctly. It says, "Mr. Leis
enring denies that ho threat
ened to use money to secure
the nomination, but admits that
certain over-zealous friends of
his had used language to that
effect." Now Mr. Leisenring
admits nothing of the kind.
He is not aware that any of bis
I friends used such language,
and says he did not tell the
"Record's" interviewer so.
I The people of the county will
| accept his word just as readily
j as any statement the "Record"
j can make, and a paper that
I will allow its friendship for
| another candinate go so far as
I to misrepresent a man is not
worth noticing. SAUNTEKEK.
BRIEF ITEMS.
BRISTOL, TEIM., May 24—Snow has been
falling hero and the neighboring inoun
tains are covered with it. On White Top,
east of here, it is live inches deep.
I WILMINGTON, Dei., May 25.- -Stansbury
1 Wiley, the former master of the exclie
! quer of the supreme lodge, Knights of
Pythias, who lost nearly $70,000 of the
lodge's money by the failure of R. R. Rob
i inson, the banker, has effected a settle
| ment with the order. The lodge litis re
' ceived real estate and stocks valued at
£.*><>,tHXJ and Wiley's bond has been satis
tied. The order will lose 470.51.
CHICAGO, May 24. —Prendergast, the as
sassin, has been given a longer laase of life
or imprisonment in the county jail by the
agreement of lawyers representing t he state
and tin' prissner that the insanity inquiry
should go over to June 11. Judge Chet-
lain, who acquiesced in the arrangement
will not be sitting in the criminal branch
of the C-ook county courts at that time.
The prosecution has fought hard for this
delav and Preiidergast may yet be sent to
tlie gallows.
PKKKVOPOLIS, Pa M May 28.— 1t has le- i
vol oped that the miners were all in the pit
at work and knew nothing concerning the
battle Thursday until they came out in the !
evening. The workingmen hooted at just
previous to the fatal light were stone
masons engaged in constructing coke
ovens. The battle Thursday was the
fault of the deputy sheriffs, and whether
or not their acts were criminal will have
to he decided by the grand jury of Fayette
county. A dozen or more disinterested
witnesses to the battle say that the first
shot was lived by the deputies.
NEW VoliK, May 28.—The unfavorable
' conditions prevailing in commercial eir
| cles throughout the country, together
1 with the prospect for no material improve
ment during the summer, marks the prcs
i cut season as probably the dullest relu
i tively for twenty years, says IJradstreet in
his weekly review of business. At no time
since panic and business depression mani
fested themselves last year have reports as
to the volume of sales of merchandise, the
manufacture of staple goods, and the in
disposition of merchants generally to buy
except for absolutely immediate wants
been so pronounced and so general through
out the country as during the past few
■weeks. Superficial examinations of busi
ness conditions leading to unwarranted
optimistic conclusions as to the nearby
future of trade have not been wanting,
but, as a matter of fact, based on com
prehensive and careful examination, the
next few months promise a continuance if
not an intensifying of existing conditions
of extreme dullness and depression.
SAHATOCA, N. V., May 28.—The general
assembly confirmed the judgment of the
Cincinnati presbytery, finding Prof.
Henry Preserved Smith guilivof heresy,
by an overwhelming vote. This result
was reached after three tiresome days,
during which the Ave hundred judges
were kept in close attendance upon the
sessions. Two of those days the time was
devoted to argument of the case, and the
third day, since :>:]U o'clock Friday, the
judges were deliberating. Three-minute
speeches were made by 1<1 of the judges
and then the vote was taken. During the
deliberations, Prof. Smith sat on the plat
form beside his friend I'iml. Moore of An
dover, manifesting a deep interest in the
proceedings. The vote was taken on tlto
twelve spociflcations of error alleged by
the appellant and they were all defeated
l>y a majority of more than 0 to 1. Then
the vote was ordered on the appeal ns n
whole. When the roll was called on this,
Prof. Smith followed the printed list of
commissioners carefully and note' 1 tin
vote as each responded to his name. Socio
of the commissioners voted to sustain „ho
appeal in part, on the ground that tho
sentence of suspension from the ministry
was excessive. Prof. Smith knew the re
sult before the tellers hail counted their
tallies, but he sat apparently unconcerned
in full view of the audience. At the
Briggs trial, when the same questions
were involved, the conservatives received
298 votes out of 401). When the result was
announced and the court was adjourned
Prof. Smith took up his hat and overcoat
and calmly walked from the church.

mm BF TARIFF
What the Senate Has Done
After Eight Weeks.
WASHINGTON, May 29.—The first day of
the ninth week of the consideration of the
tariff bill in the senate was devoted entire
ly to lumber. No vote was reached, and
this schedule will probably consume two
1* rom tlie 2d to the 25th of April general
debate was in order, and many carefully !
prepared speeches were delivered, two of
them, those of Senators Quay and Dolph,
oee.uyping each portions of six days. But
since the 25th of April the bill has lieen un
der consideration by paragraphs, for
amendment, and in that time 37 pages of
the bill have been disposed of, leaving 194
j pages still unacted upon,
j When the senate adjourned on Saturday
evening three schedules—the chemical, the
glass and china, and the metal—had been
completed.
When schedule D, with four paragraphs,
relating to lumber and manufactures of
woo l, was taken up, and an amendment
was oHe red by Senator Hale to insert, as a
preliminary paragraph, the provision of
the existing law by which a duty of a dol
lar per thousand feet is levied on sawed
hoards; two dollars on sawed lumber and
(in uddition) 50 cents for each side that is
planed or finished; one dollar when planed
on one side, and tonguod and grooved, and
£1.50 when planed 011 two sides, and
tongued and grooved. To this amendment
an amendment was offered by Senator
I'effer placing undressed lumber 011 trio
free list, and reducing by one half the fig
ures in the existing law. These amend
ments formed the text of the discussion
! which lasted throughout the day.
In addition to the numerous speeches on
the lumber schedule a speech on the gen
eral subject of the tariff was made by
Senator Walsh (dem., Gu.), his first formal
speech in the senate, and one which made
an excellent impression.
It was universally declared to be one of
i the best delivered in the senate this session.
Jlis manner of delivery was impressive, his
voice clear and resonant, his enunciation
distinct and throughout the chamber every
word lie uttered could be plainly heard, a -
though lie spoke from the back row of
seats. When ho had finished Senator
Walsh was warmly congratulated by his
colleagues. Some of the expressions that
fell from the lips of senators were exceed
• ingly flattering.
PENCIL PUSHERS DETERMINED.
Will Persist in Their Refusal to An.
I swer Sugar Questions.
' j WASHINGTON, May 29.—The report of tho
! sugar investigating committee that will bo
made to the senate will disclose a proced
ure on the part of tho committee that is en
tirely unlocked for and some testimony
that appears to have an important hearin <
upon the subject of conferences between
! senators and members of the sugar trust.
| The committee will report, it is said, that
1 they have directed the United States dis
: trict-attorney to proceed against the wit
nesses, Shriver, Edwards and Walker,
before the grand jury and have them in
ch ted forthe commission of a crime, tho
committee holding that under an almost
forgotten act of 1857 their refusal to testify
before the senate committee is an offense
no punishable*
The correspondents will persist in their
determination not to answer the commit
i tee's questions.
The committee will also submit the tes
timony of Senator Callory, which is said
to admit that a numher of conferences
were held between senators and the repre
sentatives of the sugar trust. It is said
that in hisevidence Mr. Caffery admitted
that ho had been present at two confer
ences, and in reply to questions said that
one of them was held at the residence of
Senator Brico. It is understood that at
this conference Mr. Callery said there were
present beside himself Senators 11 rice,
Gorman and Hill, and Mr. Havenneyer,
the president, of the sugar trust, and other
gentlemen interested in sugar whose
names the reporter could not ascertain .
S u a tor ('aflery also told the committee
that at this conference the sugar people
made an argument in favor of the change
from the specific rate of duty, which had
at that time been agreed upon, to an ud va
lorem rat . which was subsequently agreed
to, but that he (Mr. C illeryi opposed this
change, believing that the specific rate was
hott r for the producers of sugar in this
country.
