Lehigh Valley Improvements.
Lehigh Valley surveyors have re
cently been making surveys between
Penn Haven and Glen Onoko with a
view to building a new road bed. It is
said to bo tho intention to build a new
track from Penn Haven south on the
east side of tho Lehigh river instead of
crossing the bridge and the Central
Railroad to tho present tracks on tho
west side of the river.
The proposed changes will be quite
expensive, Including as they do, several
tunnels through spurs of tho mountains
that extend to the river, but it is main
tained that tho oxponses will be war
ranted for tho reason that it will
greatly lessen the distance and will
avoid many dangerous curves.
At present traffic from the main lino
is often congested between Penn Haven
and Glen Onoko with traffic from the
Mahanoy and llazleton divisions. All
this will be avoided.

divided. The score was 10 to 5 in favor
of Drifton when tho gamo stopped.

was up, and on this ground Freeland
players claimed the gamo.

TRUSTS ARE BLESSINGS.
SO SAYS QUAY'S GOVERNOR OVER
HIS OWN SIGNATURE.
A Ilncy Letter from "Tlie JIUIRO" on
TlilnifK Political Throughout the State.
Quay Won't Vote HIH Own Ticket-Ke
publicanH Counterfeiting Tax Receipts.
Philadelphia, October 13, 1899.
There are two conspicuous land
marks on the Delaware river front that
command the eye of the traveler—one
being in Philadelphia and the other in
Camden. Massive, towering buildings,
they are, and yet with no sign of life
or activity about them. They are idle
sugar refineries. The Philadelphia one
is the old Havemeyer plant that in other
days gave employment to a thousand
men and kept a fleet of vessels busy
bringing from the West Indies raw
suger to its wharf. The Camden con
cern was never In operation a single
day. These are silent telltales of the
greed of the sugar trust that acquired
them only to shut them up that the
production of refined sugar could be
curtailed and the market manipulated.
Giving these fine properties over to
the bats has depaived thousands of
willing men of employment, has raised
the price of sugar to the consumer and
cheated the communities in which they
stand of millions of dollars' worth of
business. And yet Quay's governor has
the audacity to declare over his own
signature that trusts are blessings and
are not a political issue.
A BOSS MAKES POLITICS PAY.
Practical politics as a pursuit must
be profitable, after all, when exception
able advantages can be commanded.
Here is Colonel Quay, for instance,
who has been receiving a salary of
but $5,000 per year as a senator of the
United States, and who maintains
homes in Washington, in Beaver, in
Lancaster and in Florida, and rents
cottages at the seashore. He has just
directed the secretary of the treasury
to transfer to his son, Major Quay,
late of the regular army and who was
educated at West Point at the public
expense, SIOO,OOO worth of United
States 4 per cent bonds, while he has
added an adjoining farm to his Lan
caster plantation, paying $lB7 per acre.
Surely Colonel Quay hae other sources
of revenue than the salary of a United
States senator, and which has now
ceased.
QUAY & CO. FAVOR TRUSTS.
Governor Stone's unqualified en
dorsement of trusts is directly in har
mony with the record of his party in
the legislature. For years it has ob
stinately refused to spread a law on
the statutes that could not be driven
through with a delivery wagon, wiping
out the "pluck-me" store, the curse of
the mining and great industrial cen
ters. For years the miners have been
praying the Republican party to pro
tect them from being outrageously rob
bed by the rapacious corporations that
employs them, in the sale of blasting
powder. At the last session the retail
grocers of Philadelphia and Pittsburg
asked for a law specially taxing the
grocer monopolist, a new harple that
has come along, and who runs as high
ias 50 retail stores, and by cutthroat
prices and the marketing of inferior
goods drives the legitimate dealer
whom he squats alongside of out of
business. This bill was strangled,how
ever, in a senate committee, and no
toriously so, for cash, although no
measure In years had been so stoutly
demanded and so largely petitioned for.
Yes, the Republican party as con
ducted by Quay & Go. has a great
respect for trusts and no respect at
nil for the common people who suffer
from them.
HOW NAPOLEON QUAY AND THE
REAL NAPOLEON DIFFER.
The admirers of Matthew Stanley
Quay love to compare him with Na
poleon, and like Napoleon he has had
his Waterloo and his St. Helena, llow
often do we hear Quay exploited by
writers and speakers as the Napoleon
of politics, although he has repeatedly
lost his state, which boasts of 350,000
Republican majority, while his Na
poleonic genius failed when confront
ed with the task of re-electing himself
In the face of an organized opposition
to the senate of the United States. But
there is one material point wherein
Napoleon Quay differs with Napoleon
Bonaparte, and that is in the matter
of trusts. The commercial trust is not
a new thing under the sun. The East
India company and the Hudson Bay
company were the first trusts of which
the modern world has knowledge.
Their home was in England. Their
success excited the cupidity of the
world's financiers. Napoleon, when in
the hey-day of his civic power in
France, was compelled to give them
attention. He had founded the great
silk mills of Lyons and had inaugu
rated a policy for the preservation of
the forests, which were coveted, while
the government was pressed cn all
sides by private capitalists to sur
render francnises. Napoleon summon
ed the greatest lawyers of Europe to
Paris and submitted to them the ques
tion whether trusts were a blessing to
the people or a bane to the state. This
distinguished conclave concluded that
trusts were both dangerous and unlaw
ful, whereupon Napoleon drove them
out of France, which is one country in
Europe where they have never been
able to obtain a foothold. John Rus
sell Young, the historian of General
Grant's trip around the world, wrote
in the New York Herald of Quay vot
ing alone in the United States senate
to save the sugar trust. When by
that act of Quay this despicable trust
is saved then it is the gruvest of
fense against Pennsylvania since Dal
las, by his casting \ote, passed the tar
iff of the Polk administration. The
trusts have no more servile slave than

the November election comes he will
be idling in his bungalow on the In
dian river, Florida. Colonel Quay has
arranged a pair with a well known
Democratic newspaper man of Phila
delphia. This indifference of the boss
will not be permitted to pass without
notice, and thousands of disgusted Re
publicans will follow his distinguished
example, only they will not put them
selves to the trouble of hunting up
Democrats to pair with them.
THE PROHIBITIONISTS KICK.
The People, of Milton, the state or
gan of the Prohibitionists, has a true
conception of the appalling frauds at
the elections that are committed by
the Quay machine in Philadelphia. It
grumbles: "Philadelphia's farcical
registration goes on piling up the
names of voterH. The whole proceed
ing is utterly ridiculous. The "returns"
of the assessors show that there are
318,151 voters in the city, an increase
of 1,103 over the return In May. State
Chairman Jones, of the Prohibition
I arty, proved that dead men, unknown
men, unnaturalized persons and end
less classes of individuals were put
down simply that their names might be
voted on by repeaters. Yet the as
sessors, who are the products of the
rotten system, go on finding houses
full of voters that have no existence.
7he frauds perpetrated in Philadelphia
as a result of padded and wrongly
made up assessors' lists are greater
than any city in the Union ever dream
ed of. Yet when an amendment to
the constitution was proposed in order
to give an honest registration law
Governor Stone vetoed it."
WHY DIDN'T THEY GO?
Nearly 200 men of the Tenth regi
ment declined the invitation of the
Republican state committee extended
through Colonel Harnett to visit New
York at its expense and incidentally
act as a political "ad." for Colonel
Harnett. There must be some em
balmed beef at the bottom of the bar'l
when so big a percentage of a regi
ment's membership thus snubs its
commander.
IN THE COUNTERFEITING BUSI
NESS.
Tho Republican city committee of
Philadelphia some years ago had a
counterfeit lithographic plate made
from which to print bogus poll tax
receipts. These receipts, which are
sold by the city for 50 cents each, con
stituted an onerous burden on the Re
publican campaign fund, so the coun
terfeiter's art was resorted to. Thou
sands of these spurious receipts are
printed in each campaign, and the city
cheated out of thousands of dollars.
This is a pretty business for the party
of God and morality to be engaged in
—counterfeiting.
Insurgent Leader Martin's dash of
chilled water on the Quay machine's
prospects raised the goose flesh on the
epidermis of the Quayttes, and they
became panic stricken and threaten
ed with heart failure and collapse,
when Director Brown, of Pittsburg,
one of the machine's big wigs, supple
mented with this bull's eye shot:
"This hippodroming of the state with
military parties in a political cam
paign is all nonsense. It is worse, for
it. will lose votes. Instead of sending
out two bands of soldiers to make
spectacular display and appeal to the
war feeling or hero-worship of the
masses, the campaign should be made
on principle and the pending public
Issues bo discussed in an intelligent
tnd dignified manner."
