Another year witli its joys, sor rows, hopes, aspirations, disap pointments and trials has flown in to that eternity from which no mo ments ever return. The past is ir revocably gone but the future with its opportunities lies before us, and the wise will forget repining and ad dress themselves to making that fu tura bright and profitable. As we enter the New Year the thought should be how we can best serve our dny and generation in pro moting the welfare, comfort and happiness of those with whom we come in contact.that the world may be tho better for our sojourn in it, and our own lives ennobled by the good doeds we scatter among our fellow beings. The Press wishes you all a happy and prosperous New Year. WHAT WE MIGHT HAVE BEEN. A neighboring paper says : The population of Milford, Pa., which was 983 in 1880, in 1890 was only 793. The decrease has been continu ous ever since and there are now more than 20 unoccupied houses in the village. We do not think the number of unoccupied houses in town are more than half the number stated, but there has been a falling off in population owing mainly to the closing of the watch case shops. The increase in summer guests how ever has )xen marked, and our pros perity cannot be fairly measured by the number of permanent inhabi tants. New and handsome resi dences are being erected every year, the capacities of our hotels and boarding houses enlarged, and the surrounding country greatly im proved. We are not fortunate in having a railroad, but our sister town should remember she is- a child of circumstances. In her early days our Democratic repre sentatives, for valuable considera tions nn to them moving perpetrated the treacherous act of placing Port Jervis in the cradle intended for a town in our oounty, and she has been nourished on our milk,- and fed on our resources ever since to a great extent. Pike County has had no greater or more blighting curse than her Democratic representatives, who have on every occasion offered sold out their birthright and their counties interests, for a pass on the Erie and as much more as she would give them, which was never a large sum for they were simply tools of a small guage. Recall the trickery.the perfidy, the miserable scheming, by Which the thieves who then con trolled the Erie, aided by the nn f&rupulous, blatant, selfish and treacherous men who pretended to represent the interests of Pike stole away onr rights to a bridge across the Delaware and a connection with Erie, and fastened on the people of this county a leech which has ever since been taking double the amount of blood in tolls then was originally allowed. Hud not the bridge and the othor obligations to furnish connec tions been frittered away and the outrage finally nailed by one who had been made the recipient of re pea td honors at the hands of our people, we would no doubt to-day be enjoying the facilities of railroad communication with the outside "world, and be like our neighbors Uiuuountbly prosperous. This chap ter of our history has been parti ally written, but it will boar repeti tion, and we shall embrace the op portunity at some fitting season to place it again bofore our readers. There is a wrong which should be righted, and if there is the least crack left in the door of our pros perity which was shut in our faces, it thould be found and the wedges applied to force it open. Port Jer vis receives a large share of our tmde and her merchants are fair dealing honorable and progressive men. We find no fault, but rather praise them for their enterprising spirit, but our people do complain, and that loudly, of the tribute they are obliged to pay the Ceasars who exact an unnecessarily heavy tariff, as they believe, on all who pass the gateway to contribute to the pros perity of our neighbor. "It is a long lane that has no turn." BULLETIN ON POULTRY. We have received from Dr. B. H. Warren State Zoologist Bulletin No. 17 on the diseases and enemies of poultry. In the introduction the importance of tho poultry industry is shown. It is there stated that tho value of the fowls and eggs pro duced in the United States annually is throe hundred and forty three million dollars being equal to the wheat crop of the country. Penn sylvania is one of the leading states in this production and the value of the poultry and eggs raised by her is about twenty two million dollars. This bulletin treats of the various diseases of fowls and gives the most approved remedies for their cure, also gives some interesting matter concerning the furred and feathered enemies of domestio fowls. Dr. Warren estimates the loss from these depredators at not less than 1250.000. He combats the idea that wildcats are daring and ferocious, and says they are cowardly and will floe their pursuers. A report from a correspondent in the southwestern part of the state says "the catamount is a destructive and ferocious animal, for one at tacked me one night when I was going home from courting a girl, and treed me on a fence and I had to stay there till day light." Dr. Warren slyly intimates that wild cats may be inclined to seek such tender food. Those interested would do well to write for and obtain this bulletin as the information contained in it is very valuable to poultry raisers. VIOLATORS OP LAW. At the last term of Court a man from Shohola was indicted for what is commonly called "ticket scalping" which is the buying of Rail road tickets of passengers who ha ve used them in part, and reselling to others. With the guilt or innocence of this party we have no concern, no doubt he will be fairly doalt with. But what shall be said of a corporation which by running Sunday excur sions, bringing largo numbers of people within the borders of our county, many of whom probably are not active members of churches, Sunday schools or temperance or ganizations, and turning them out for a day of such kind of recreation as they would naturally seek? The Rail road doubtless makes money by this business, but the morals and general walfare of that community suffers untold effects. The minds and manners of the rising genera tion must be tainted with the sights and sounds which greet their eyes and ears, and what was once a peaceful law abiding hamlet is now turned into a bedlam of revelling and debauch. That those who live in glass house should not throw stones is an adage which may ap ply to corporations as well as in dividuals. LYCEUM MEETING. A meeting of the directors of the Lyoeum Association will be held Monday Jan. i, when it is expected some steps will be taken looking to ward securing a room in which to place the books now on hand and others to be bought. There may be hesitation on the part of some in tending donors of books or papers to allow their gifts to be placed in isolated rooms, and it might not be improper to suggest that a room on one of the most frequent! streoU, conveniently located for people to drop In- for a few moments would more likely be popularly patro ni7d than one not so situated. They say propinquity and persever ence will conquer the most reserved maidens heart, so the invitingly open door of the Lyceum in close proximity to a way along wh eh many pass, may entice them within its confines, which should be made as attractive and cheerful as possible. TO WHEELMEN. In the late bicycle contest in New York the winners rodo sitting nearly erect. The fashion to have drop handle bars and sit doubled up which is affected by scorchers, should go out among sensible riders, and those who wish to receive the full benefit of this pleasant and al most universal exercise. The lungs must have play in order to endure, and the chest should be expanded as much as possible. We hope there fore during the coming season wheelmen will discard the hump, and sit sensibly upright on theif-j machines. COURT HOUSE IMPROVEMENTS. The County Commisrioners are having a place made in the attic of tho Court House in which to store the old files and unused books now crowding the vault of their office and that of the prothonotary's. More room has long been needed, and this arrangement will probably relieve to a great extent the con gested state of those receptacles of county records. They are also having the walls of the lower story painted and frescood, which will add greatly to their appearance, and cause our temple of justice to pres ent a more attractive aspect. Hetty Green the richest woman in America spent Christmas day alone. Her two children were both absent and her husband is sick. Her lot with her many millions seemed to be far unhappier than that of peo ple in moderate circumstances and even of the very poor. Riches do not always bring contentment, but they are pretty certain to bring care. It looks now, notwithstanding the claims made by both sides, that it will be a close fight in the Senatorial Contest in this State. ATTACKED BY A FOOTPAD.

OVER A SCORE KILLED. rHfutei Train Burled Over a Hundred Feet From a Bridge. Birmingham, Ala., Don. 88. The most disastrous railroad wreck that has ever taken plaoa In this state occurred on the Birmingham Mineral road. The wreck 00 ourred at what la known as the Cahaba bridge, about 86 miles from Birmingham, between Uuerney and Blooton. The bridge Is about 1,000 feet long and about 100 feet high. The train jumped the track and plunged oft the trestle to the rooks below. As to the number of passengers on board, the report) oon diet, but the beat obtain able information places the number at 84 to SO. Nine ware taken out alive, bnt In a dying condition. The wreck caught fire, and many victims were burned to death. The wreck is regarded as almost oertaln ly aooompllshed by the removal of a rail on the middle span of the trestle. This de railed the train, which caused It to fall down the two spans and precipitated It Into the river, 110 feet below. The surviv ors are so few and are so badly hurt that they are unable to give any detailed de scription of how U all happened. It Is not known and may never be ascertained Just how many passengers were on the train. Moat of them were miners and rest deutd of mining towns In this district who had round trip holiday tlokett and were returning to their homes along the line of the Birmingham Mineral railroad.

THE LABORS OF SECRETARY OLNEY AND MINISTER DE LOME. Said to Rave Oonolnded a Tlaa For Rat tling the Cnben Trouble An Official Note From Canovae Sancnllly Sea teneed ) I.tfe Imprtinnmpnt, Washitotov, Deo. SO. The Port this morning snys that it hue been learned from an authoritative source that Secre tary OIney and Senor Dupuy do Iome, the Spanish minister, have practically termi nated the negotiations on the Cuban ques tion, which are to be submitted to con gress when it convenes on Jan. 6. The terms of the agreement are based on the recent official oommunleatton from Pre mier Canovas addressed to the secretary of state. The premier states clearly the terms which Spain will accord to the Insurgents and practically asks the United States to propose these conditions to her rebellious subjects. In return for our good offices Spain assures this government that she sincerely deplores the great commercial loss which we have sustained on account of the Cuban disturbance. She assures us that she Is even new considering a recipro city treaty which will denl mainly with Cuban products and which will be framed In such advantageous terms toward this government that our losses both In com merce and In the destruction of A merioan property In Cuba will be most generously com pensa ted. Premier Canovas says that Spain can not, of oonrse, as a self respecting and re specting nation, stand before the world aa having been ooereed Into measures by the United States. She has freely granted all that she now offers, and that In the face of a rebellion. But she accepts the good offices of the United States to act as medi ator and to guarantee to the Insurgents amnesty and the enforcement of the new reform law which she Is about to proclaim Id Cuba. The form of government offered Is, the Spanish statesman declares, the limit of Independence whioh can be granted to a province by any nation without absolute ly severlBg the bonds of union with the mother country. Autonomy, as enjoyed by the Canadians, can never be granted In Cuba. What Spain is willing to grant the In surgents if they lay down their arms and what she asks the United States to guar antee Is an act which provides for a ooun cli of administration whioh shall control 11 matters pertaining to the commerce of the Indies and all estimate upon the gen eral taxation and expenditures of the Is land as well as lte general home govern ment An.trla an Ally or oala. LoWDOH, Dec S9. The Paris corre spondent of The Times this morning re news his surmises regarding opposition by European powers to Intervention by the United States In Cuba. He says: "The Austrian court and government have long toa uneasy over the attitude of Amerloan jingoism toward Spain, and such uneasiness has long been the subject of diplomatic talks. The queen regent of Spain Is one of the most beloved prinoess es of the Austrian house. The love and respect she has won from the Spaniards have strengthened the affections reserved for her In her own family, and there will be no hesitation In demonstrating that affection whenever It becomes a question of defending the Interest of the country whose honor she protects with unmixed enthusiasm and which has become as dear to her as If she had been born on lte soil." The Times' Paris dispatch further re ports that The Temps remarks upon the Cuban situation that military successes and the attitude of the United States Should facilitate concessions by Spain. "It would, be tactless," adds The Temps, "to spoil the situation by explicitly suggest ing to the Madrid cabinet steps apparent ly dictated by their own Interest and the glory of the country. It would be more opportune to use toward Washington dis creetly, on behalf of the whole of Europe, language oaloulated to oon Arm President Cleveland's and Mr. Olney's good Inten tions and to give valuable hints to Mr. MoKlnley and his eventual secretary of state. engnllty'e Severe Sentenee.

"It is also known that the pope recently had an interview with Mgr.

"To lessen, however, the effect which this pardon may have produoed on the Amerloan eplsoopate his holiness has de rided to raise to the cardinalate Mgr.

Cantott, O., Deo. 80. Senator E. O. Woloott of Colorado has been here in con ference with Major McKlnloy. The main lopio of their conversation was the propo rtion of the senate Republican caucus to rapport a bill authorizing the prestdont to tppolnt dolefrates to an international mone tary oonferenoe. Senator Woloott is chair man of the committee appointed by the sulcus to draft the bill, and he had a copy of the measure with hltn. The president sleet dlsoussed the provisions of the bill In lotall with him. The bill authorizes the president to ap point delegate to an international mone tary conference whenever he shall see fit to call one, or when he sees fit to respond to the oall of some other country for an International discussion of the subject. It also makes provision for the necessary ex- renses of the delegates or the commission, t Is the belief of the advocates of interna tional bimetallism that Major MoKlnley will take aotive steps shortly after his In auguration to arrange for a monetary con fere n 00. "Sentiment In Europe in favor of an in ternational understanding In reference to the silver question Is growing and aggres sive," said Senator Wolcott. "France and Germany both feel the importance of the Issue, and England rend an object lesson In our lnte campaign and election. The bill wo have prepared is for the purpose of providing means for giving effeot to the declarations of the Ropuhlloan national platform on the subjeot of International bimetallism. I think we shall be able to secure an International conforenoe, and thore Is reason to hope that its delibera tions will have some practical outoome. "Major MoKlnley is cordially In favor of making good the promise of the party, and ho seemed profoundly Interested In the bill and what was said about it. He is In thorough harmony with the party, and his main purpose is the good of the coun try. He is taking a very broad view of his duties and responsibilities. I think that the bill Is likely to be passed In a short time after the holiday recess, and, of oourse, Major McKlnloy can arrange for a conference soon after his inauguration, If he so desires. Thinks the People Expect It. "I think the people of the country ex pect this action which we propose. They think the Republican party ought to make good Its promises. In the west the effort to secure International action on the ques tion of increased recognition of silver will be cordially applauded, not by the silver fanatlos, but by thousands of good Repub licans, who stood by the party, but who felt that the most liberal treatment possi ble ought to be aocorded silver. If the par ty should fail to keep its pledges in this respect, I fear the consequences for the country would be serious. " "Will the free silver senators stand by the Republican party In Its effort to pas a revenue law.'" was diked. "I think o." answered Senator Wol oott. "I think Major MoKlnley will have nodlfficulty In gel ting a tariff bill through the sennte. 'J ho free silver senators feel that if there is a-iythlngln their argument it would he wise to let tho ponple see It is not tho present tariff that fauces hard times, but the demonetization of silver. In short, they think a RepuMlcan revenue measure will not greatly change existing economic conditions and are willing to let the experiment be tried. " Senotor Woloott talked of cabinet possi bilities and said that the weft would prob ably not welcome the appointment of a man for secretary of the treasury who had been particularly hostile to silver and who wa a foe to bimetallism. It 1 understood that the federal patronage in Qolorado will lu the main be distributed In accord ance with the wishes of Senator Wolcott Refuse to Be Removed From Office. Kingston, N.
