PENN'A, JUNE 15, 1890. Freeland's l.iglit Question. Freeland is without doubt the best lighted town in this part of the state, and strangers who happen to be here after nightfall invariably make some re mark upon the brightness of the streets, not the business thoroughfares alone, but the streets iu every portion of the bor ough. There is not resident of Freelund, we believe, who does not take a certain amount of pride in living in a town that provides light in such abundance, never theless, the light business, like any other good thing, is liable to be over- done. The fact of the matter is that Free land, it is alleged, is living somewhat above its means in paying as much as it annually does for light, and the TRI BUNE has been informed that there is a quiet movement afoot to call a halt upon iho council. The basis of the com plaint. as we understand it. is that the uuount paid for this purpose exceeds by far the sum ostensibly collected for light and water, and that the deficiency is taken from money that should he ex pended on the streets and iu other legal ways. It is claimed by those who have bocn giving the matter their attention that flic streets have been neglected, streets which should bo opened have not been, ground which should be purchased for ddewalk purposes has not been bought, tiid other improvements have been delayed or ignored, all because the bor ough treasury could not stand the ex pense iu face of the annual light charge. It is further claimed that at least six d the present lights are located on or so learto the township lines as to be prac tically unnecessary. If the plan of the objectors is carried out, and it has been intimated to the TitiBUNK that it will, the council will I 4oon be called upon to reduce the num ber of lights, and failing to do this, the court will be applied to for tin injunction to prevent the council from paying more for light than the law allows. The TRIBUNE would prefer, iu making Ills matter public, that it could give the names of those who contemplate taking the steps outlined above, but I hat privilege has not yet been granted is. It can be said, however, that the gentlemen engaged in the movement are apparently actuated solely by a desire to see the town go forward on a sound basis, rather than that it should progress illegally in one direction at the expense f other needed improvements. Under the circumstances, it would hi' io more than proper that the council should investigate this question. If hose who intend to present objections have well-founded claims, it would be letter to know how far the limit has been overstepped, if at all, and the bor ough authorites could act then in such manner as would be to the town's best interests. To discuss questions of this kind at the council meetings might not make the sessions as interesting as some held recently, but the time spent might prove more profitable to the taxpayers. Republican candidates for. county commissioner are as thick as Hies around a sugar refinery on a July morning. The ordinary claims for recognition, such as years of party service, location, nationality, etc., are too common to carry weight, and some ingenious pleas are being made by the aspirants. One Mr. Dow claims the nomination because lie is a great grandson of the first man who burned hard coal in Wilkesbarre; another, Mr. Chapman, wants it because he was elected supervisor in his town ship and failed to make any money out of the job; A. 1). Hay thinks he is en titled to the place because Captain Straw was elected to the same position some years ago; .1. W. Williams because lie is not a relative of the famous Mor gan B.; Tom Rotors because he worked so long around the court house that he knows where all the books are kept; and so on through the long list. All have some special reason, out of the ordinary, for seeking the commissionorship. Not one of them wants the job for what is in it. Lehighton must have had a surfeit of the hobo fraternity lately. An ordi nance which has just become a law iu that burg deals with the gents of the road thusly: "Any person charged with being a vagrant or trump within the limits of Lehighton shall be arrested and taken before the burgess or any justice of the peace and fined #5, and having refused to pay the line, the burgess or justice shall have authority to commit him to the lockup for not longer than live days, or compel him to work upon the public works or streets of the bor ough for a period of time not exceeding one day for each dollar of line imposed." WASHINGTON LETTER. Washington, June 12, 1890. By far the most interesting event of the closing hours of the session of con gress was the short humorous speech made in the house by "Private" John Alien, of Mississippi. After referring to the "universal criticism" of liis silence during the session, he said: "1 desire to say, however, that there has been little at tliis session of congress to inspire a man to be loquacious. And I want to say further that I am not the only groat statesman whoso recent career has been distinguished by his silence. There are good many of us leaders, Mr. Speaker, who have not been talking much lately. But 1 have not got anybody to go around and certify as to what my views are. I notice that a distinguished gentleman, who they say is about to be nominated for the presi dency of the United States, has a man in every bailiwick giving a certificate of what li is views on the financial question are, but we cannot hear anything from him. Now, I do submit that people are authorized to certify all sorts of ways for him, for lie lias certified all sorts of ways for himself in times gone by. I have a number of his speeches in my pocket. Ido know which one lie stands on now, but he lias stood on all sides of this question, and people are giving out certificates for him on all sides of the question. They say that an egg that goes around the country with a certifi cate that it is a good egg is not a safe egg to buy, because, they say that egg never starts out with a certificate until it gets under suspicion." Mr. Allen's speech was interrupted at every sen tence with laughter and applause and it was evident that Speaker Reed enjoyed his whacks at McKinlcy. Senator ('Aliitiger, of Now Hampshire, who has aspirations to help manage Mc- Kinley's campaign, was asked what sort of a platform the St. Louis conven tion would adopt. His reply was: "It will be the kind of a platform that will win. * That tells the whole story. While there are a few Republicans like Senator Hawley, who is a single stand ard gold man, and Senator Teller, who is a silver man, who put principle above averything else, the great majority of the party and of the delegates to St. Louis are only intent upon framing a platform that will win, regardless of principles. Secretary Carlisle's answer to the senate subcommittee which will investi gate the bond issues, by direction of a senate resolution, was given to the papers this week. It is a long document and goes rpiite fully Into the details of the bond issues, giving the reasons for every act of the administration in con nection therewith, and showing that the causes originated under Harrison's ad ministration. It is expected that Secre tary Carlisle will be one of the firs-1 witnesses who will be heard when the investigation begins, which will prob ably be inside of ten days. (Jovornor lloics, of lowa, who is him self a candidate for the Democratic nom ination, doesn't take any stock in the idea that Senator Teller, or in fact any body but a tried and true Democrat, will head the ticket nominated by the Chicago convention. In a letter from Governor Holes, received by a close friend in Washington this week, he says: "It would, in my judgement, be absolutely impossible to unite any con siderable number of tin* delegates of that convention in favor of nominating any one outside of the party, for the head of the ticket, at least." President Cleveland adhered to his sensible rulo of refusing to go to the capltol to sign hills passed during the last hours of the session, and insisted upon having all bills sent to the White House, where he could give them care fid examination, as is usually the custom. Nearly all the Republican members of congress have gone to St. Louis to help lix up that straddle to bo used as the financial plank of the Republican plat form. S. Sentiment lias Naturally Changed. Prom the Ilu/.lcton Sentinel. The town was full of politicians yes terday. Among them was James Clair, of Wilkesbarre, who is here in the interest of Tom Dullard, the min ority commissioner. Mr. Clair is con fident that Dullard will be renominated. "Von see." said Jim, "the howl sent up against the commissioners has been going on so long people began to look for evidence in support of it. None given, there is naturally a change and where a strong feeling against the officeholders existed some time ago, a recoil has taken place, and to the hunted, persecuted men a feeling of sympathy goes out which in effect is just the reverse of what was originally intended. No matter who the man is, a kindly disposition is sure to he created for him under such circum stances. Just see how long and persistently this thing has been kept up. Vet, absolutely nothing has been proved to show that the men were dishonest. It is one of the features of human nature where a man is harassed, and especially followed with such malignity and viudictiveness as in tills, to extend sympathy. His friends become aroused, new ones are created and enemies softened. Such is the case of the commissioners, and on this basis I pin my faith, especially Dullard, who is a Democrat. Norton and Smith will he able to take care of themselves." While Mr. Clair inay not size up the situation correctly, it is quite true that with all the bluster, newspaper loqua city, noisy investigations, nothing lias been produced to show that they have either conducted the business wan tonly or entered into a single scheme for personal gain.

SOME OF THE NEW HATS Tulle Ih I'Hod for Triinming and, ot <'ouriio, Flowers Are Plentiful. There are plenty of picture hats imong the new styles, and the tulle ties and loops come in nicely as artistic ad ditions to the costume. You con have tulle ties on any kind of a hat. it is not necessary to have a bonnet to put them on. Green and violet tulle are the prettiest colors. An exquisite lit tle hut is made of yellow straw—straws, L was going to say, for the hat is a peculiar arrangement of little straws, set side by side, with a violet at. the end, forming an edge of violets ull around the brim. Tulle loops almost conceal the crown. Another dream (dream seems an especially appropriate tern\ for u tulle hat) has a combination of two shades of green tulle. There is absolutely nothing 011 the hat— round, black straw—but some stand up frills of light and dark green tulle around the crown. Almost anybody can have a liat like this. All tlint- is necessary to do is to buy an unt rimmed lint and cover it over with tulle. A flower or two to stand up at the back or at the left side of the front is a great addition. The tulle ties are knotted in a large bow under the chin. Flowers underneath the brim are set ut the back, where most of the hats turn up. In the ease of "nose liats" that tip down over the face, the brim is not always bent up at the back, but in stead the whole hat is propped up, as it were, with a bank of flowers and rib bon. Small button roses are very pret t y for the bandeaux under the brim. Flower lints are fashionable for women of all ages. A violet bonnet is suitable for an elderly lady with white liair, but made in another shape it be fits u gohlen-liaired lassie quite us well. —X. Y. Merucry. A Warning to the iientii.

On reading the notice Mr. Makeup was furious, and demanded a retraction, which t lie paper accordingly made the following day, in this fashion: "Mr. Makeup requests us to deny that he will wash himself before he assumes the office of town clerk." And still Mr. Makeup was not pleased. How hard it is to .satisfy some pcoplel—Our Boys and Cirls. WIVES WANTED, IndueomGrits .Offorod Women in Northwestern Canada. A Scheme for Enconniffing Female Fnil- Krai lon to Region Where There Is u Superfluity of Haclielors. A grent deal of money lias been spent by the Dominion government in the last ten years to encourage immigration to Caiuwlo, and most of the schemes, to judge by the last census, have been more or less futile. Now the chief govern ment organ here comes forward with another project to people the great northwest. This paper, referring to a statement by the land commissioner of the Canadian Pacific railway to the ef fect that the great want of the north west is more women, says that-the bach elor life of the farmers in Manitoba and the northwest makes them dissat isfied; that they soon get discouraged and write to their friends in Great Brit ain about the cheerless, unattractive lives they ore leading; and that it is well known that these letters have been widely circulated in the English pro vinciai press, and have had the effect of turning off the tide of emigrants to other shores —to the United States, Australia and South Africa. "If these men," the paper adds, "had been mated with plucky wives, the htories of their failure would not have been written home. They would have found life in the northwest tolerable ajid would have taken a pride in over coming their difficulties. A few thou sand women of the right kind would probably do more to make that country than any other Influence that could be brought to bear upon it just now. Suit able immigrants of that, kind n find employnlent, and are not likely to have to go long without husbands." This led to a new scheme for jx'opling Ilie northwest. It was started here a few days ago, and a committee is now hard at work on the details of the plan. A preliminary meeting was held to dis cuss the matter, and a commit tee was appointed to report on the feasibility of sending girls to the northwest from j the overcrowded centers of population of the older provinces of Canada. "Girls wanted" was the motto of the meeting; but, when one of the gentlemen pres ent unwarily declared that part of tin pie-n w as to send girls out west to make wivi< of them for the prairie farmers, the ladies present took lip arms against the matrimonial port of the scheme. They said that, this was too delicate a matter to deal with, and strongly ob jected to associating any marriage scheme with the proposed female emi gration to the west. No society, it was contended, could successfully arrange marriages between people whose modes of living had been so different, and no such plan was likely to succeed. While the ladies were willing to take part in any movement to encourage the emigra tion of girls to the northwest, and find employment as domestic servants foi them there, they absolutely refused to have anything to do with any scchme having for its object, the shipping of a train load of girls to the northwest to be married to the farmers of that.part of Ihe country. There was also the pos sibility of ill-mating couples, and the ladies apparently did not care to under take the responsibility of so delicateu matter as the promotion of matrimony among the farmers. It was soon made apparent that the matter would have to be handled very cautiously, and thai it the movement succeeded the question of matrimony would have to be kept ii I the background and the idea of mar riage left to the emigrants themselves to work out in the good old-fashioned way. Lady Aberdeen, the wife of the j governor general of Canada, wrote to Dr. \V. E. Pesscy, the organizer of the meeting', that this was one of the qucs- j tions to come lip for discussion at the I meeting of the women's council to be . held in Montreal. S. iM. Jones, secretary of the meeting deplored the flow of girls to the cities from Ihe country, uud thought they should go to the northwest and make homes for themselves and be independ ent, rather than come to the centers of population and work for a pittance. "But one of the ladies thought that the girls in the cities were not tit to make fanners' wives. Air. Jones ventured the retnu.rk, rather unfortunately, t hat they might as well emigrate to the northwest, for the men in the cities would not marry them, anyhow, and the lady snappishly retorted that "the girls would not marry them." A good do ill of cold water lias been thrown on the scheme, but the commit* tec is hard at work, and believes that it will accomplish something. There it: certainly a great lack of the softer sex in the Canadian northwest. It is esti mated that there ore in that part of the dominion bet ween ortation for any number of girls who would be induced to go to the northwest, "Jul it is hoped that government uid will lie given to t lie scheme. Some who are unfavorable to the movement contend that the bach elor tillers of the soil in the northwest have 110 need for women, and that they prefer to do their own work. But there are very few who share in this opinion, and it is generally believed that the men up there know how to appreciate the companionship, sympathy and sup port of women.—Toronto Cor. N. V. Sun.
