FREELAND. 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.

An Apology.
A man who has u reputation for be

elected town clerk in one of the small
towns in this state some time ago, and
the local paper thought it would be a
good joke to announce that: "Sir.
Makeup will wash himself before lie as
sumes the office of town clerk." 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

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 <IO,OOO andso,ooomore
males than females. The organizer of
the movement, who is confident of the
practicability of the scheme, recalls the
days in the early history of Trench Can
ada when the French icing regularly
shipped boat loads of gills to become

iurnish free I rnnsj>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

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.
