Cluiir 111:111 Dingley Hindi) short work of the juggling of percentage figures by wliiuli the Democrats in the House sought to make it npiieiir that the Dingley tnriif bill, which will this week lie passed by thi' H ui:ie, carried 11 higher nvcrnga l'Ji te of duties than the McKinley bill did. Haiti Mr. Dingley: "Not withstand ing thi! fact that in this bill in every schedule except ear! lien M-are. class, tobacco, sugar, and 1 think silk to witiit) extent, notwithstanding that in every schedule except these the present bill curries aclnal duty less Vim 11 was carried in the Act of lN'.iO, and not withstanding the fact that in many of the schedules it carries duties (substantially the name ns those in the present (Democratic) law, yet if you convert these speci fic duties into ndvalorem percent nges, not taking into consideration the changes of value lietwoen IMKI and 18!l!, you appear to have an in crease of duties imposed, when, as a matter of fact, the actual duties im posed are less." No better refutation oou'd be given of the mischievous stories al leging the physical breaking down of President McKinley than that after a hard day's work at his desk lie attended the dinner given by the Gridiron Club in honor of the President and his Cabinet and for several hours enjoyed himself as lunch as the youngest man present. Ho many complaints h ive reached Washington concerning the intro duction of lottery methods into the business ot obtaining patents, that Senator Jlansbrough has introduced n bill making it. a misdemeanor for miy person or firm engaged in the business of soliciting patents to eon duet n premium or prize scheme by offering inventors n prize as 1111 in ducement for them to enter an al leged competition of ideas. A simi lar hill will probably ho intrixlueed in the House, thus giving both branches of Congress nn early op. portunity to protect the United States Government, which is practi cally a partner in the patent busi ness, from the odium necessarily at tached to lottery methods. The Democrats in the House are now very sorry that they said n word about trustsin their light upon the Dingley tariff bill. They got a fool idea in their heads that they could frighten the Republicans by yelling "trust" nt them. They know better now. That line of at tack gave the Republicans an op portunity t call the attention, or rnthor to jo the memory of the public to the indisputable .fact that the trusts have been more numerous nnd more grasping under tho Demo cratic administration and tariff law than ever bef ire, and that the Democrats made their last cam paign solely in the interests of what U011. Grosvi nor so aptly called "the trust which controls a monoply of what (iod give the silver trust." Tho fact is also recalled that when the Sherman anti-trust law, recently npheldbyn division of tho United States Supreme Court, was before the House, tho leading Democratic members voted against its being taken up for consideration, although they did not dare vote against the bill itself when it was put upon its final passage. They found the trust argument a veritable boomerang, and aliout the only excuse they had to offer was that they wero not re sponsible for Grover Cleveland. Tho Senate Committee 011 Appro priations, although not controlled by Republicans, has endorsed the action of the Houso in jmssing those left over appropriation bills without change, by reporting the agricul tural bill to the Senate jnst as it passed the House, and will pmlmbly do likewise with the other bills. President McKinley has told sev eral gentlemen who wero applicants for the same position they held nn- i1fr the Harrison administration that lie would not appoint them, no matter how strongly backed they were, becauso ho had made up bis mind not to make such appoint- mollis, except in eases wnero mere iii'guf. lie some extraordinary cir cumstances justifying a deviation f r .nn tho rule. This is not becau e lie has not a high opinion of the ex officials, but because bo thinks others should now have an oppor tunity to share in the party honors. The vacancies in the Senate Com mittees are worrying the opposition more than they are tho Republicans although the latter are perfectly willing that they should be filled, j but so long 11s tho opjiositiim can-I not agree to vote together ami as sume the rvsjKnsibilities of the majority, the Republicans very na turally object to allowing the Demo crats who are only on" faction of the majority, to dictate how those vacancies idiall lie tided. Althouirh not in a majority, the Republicans vv-erioven t lie imoorraiit chairman- ships of tho Senate during the last Congress, ami they now insist upon the vacancies being tilled so as to tjive t hem control of the important committees or not nil, unless the op position choose to combine and re organize all the committees on a sil ver basis by taking the chairman ships away, from the Republicans.

The bridge is 35 feet long and it costs IM45, or J12.71 per lineal foot. We have examined the cost of other bridges built recently and the matter would teem to require some explanation, as to added costs.

Tnrt. -The Ullle Took Last Thursday evening, "The Club" was tho scene of a very plea s mt gathering. Early in the sum. iii'r several Literary meetings were planned by the members of the club and this was (he first of tho series. As our siuice (mental) is limited, we can merely mention a few of the selections which were most admired. The B n "mott" of the evening. "The Song of the Flower Oi-1," rendered by Miss "Lily" was well received. At one time she was on the "brink" of failing, but being "boyd" up by a word of encourage ment "swift" ly recovered her com. posure. Following this, Miss Criss m in was to have recited a p icni en titled, ''"Jo. 'frank- and' tell the Truth," one of "E nersons" or "Kipp" lings 'we believe, but being unable to appear "Millicent" her re grets instead. Visions of "Choi" ' Warren"ted genuine by the au thor, a young "Ernest Wright" er of New York City was admirably pjrtrayed. Next, a stirring recita tion, "Tho Robber Lady of Edin b H-oiigh Castle" by "May Steele" was encored several times. It is needless to mention that the author of this is "a seott" isch lady now living in Port Jervis, In places, the dialect was hard to understand (we really must admit that) but fortu: nately "Lucy Kent" what was meant and explained to tho satis faction of all. The "Robber Lady" was so well liked that several selec- tions following did not meet with quite as .much approval as might have been expected. In fact, sev eral boys began to "Hissani". This naturally created a distur bance and tho "noyes" grew so great that one young man stood up and tried to quiet tho people. At this juncture 11 "pinchot" through the air and hit the young man on the head, entering it at an "Anglo" of 45 degroo. This tended to make "Frank Cross" and ho swore the other fellow wasn't tho only peb- couldn't be "Bull" iod by "George and that ho'd "Sue for a nickle" or anything "Elsie" who did that again. That determination made ui.iny n "Bonnie 'lassie' "Blanche" with fear, but after a number of ex clamations, "Wells!" and so forth with a 'Heller" two thrown in gratis, many do "Klaer" ed it was a shame to raise "Kane" in this fash ion and with tho help of ono whom we all know and "Riviere" quiet was "tuick" ly restored, although a "Clearman". nearly muddled things up again by somo of his re in irks. We might add that Frank's popularity went up higher than a "Kyte" after this little occurence Following this exciting incident was a prosy lullaby which tended to put somo of the audience to sleep. The "Seaman" noticing this ft "Wake man" was sent around with orders to disturb the "Slambia" of those Young" people who wero in dream land. A very "Mews" ing song by Miss Kitty was next 011 tho pro gramme, the applause was una I ening and when nu encore was re quested it was found that this "Brodhead" od young lady had "purr" posely left her "mows" io at homo. After another selection which somo ono asked "Bertha" to Reed," Mamie was asked to sing. She said "Reilly" couldn't do so without her notes and thus many of ber friends were disappointed. However another "Nyco" girl was prevailed upi.n to do so and all wero held en "Thrall" ed and "Crano"d their nocks to see, and as sho finish ed tho last "Pago" she was ap plauded with ft "Gale" of enthu siasm. She refused to sing agiin though as sho hadn't the "Hart" to do so. This ended the literary and m.isical programme. Tlu guests wore then invite I to pirtake of 111 oystor and wine repast at the "Schorr" House which is pleasantly situated on "John C." This tumo.l out to bo a " Bluff " though, as tlu oysters wero past and " repast " si quickly that n oiu could get any. S iuo of tho boys who were to 1 stupid to see a joke wanted to know j "wine" thunder somebody hadn't " Warner " ed them beforehand. Thi little joke was well t iken by most of tho guests though, and in due time a real supper was served and enjoyed by all. It is scarcely necessary to tell of all the' good thing-ijhad but the pastry made by " a baker well known in Milford and tho salud, "fowl" naiad (if the pun may be pardoned) made by "Drake" in a "Chnpin" dish, were deserving of special mention. After all this a round dance was had, nt the Centre Squaro Hotel loaned fori the occasion "Frieh" of charge nnd I nil went merrily on. It's mean to tell but I daro say we all know that ,. long before tho evening was over " Van " had " Etten " more than his share of the goodies. John de clared that others had "Bennett" them, too but tho " Loesch " said about that the better, nt any rate it was found necessary to call in Tommy who stood guard, " Truax " j in hand, over what remained. When tho "wee hours of the morn" put in on appearance, though most I of the gaests had not had quite, j 0 "Neff" yet, "Fred leck'roned toj Sam who was " Fuller' " n 11 goat 1 by this time, to stop the musie and put out tho lights All joined "Fiudlay" in ono last dance and then with a Si " of relief, so ended the I first "Literary Meeting" of the sea son. All went home, somo on foot, some in carriages and those who lived nt a distance in " Wagner " "(,'arrs." All wero tired, all were "Happy" and all declared this to be the best time they had ever hud and all, without except ion, hoped that tho members would "Uiddis" to the next meeting of the "Literary Club."

(ireek poetry was rcpro-ientod by the Misses Belle Findlay with the lyre and Nellie Quick and Katie Beck with trumpets. They posed very gracefully nnd presented n charming apHarance. In fact the picture could not have been more perfect. Sam inthys Album was then open ed and Uncle Josiah proceeded to describe the old photographs. The first was Bayard Nichols and Miss Bertha Williamson representing n bride and groom of the olden time, ano ns prototypes they would have filled any modern characters with undying envy. They were followed by W. A. II. Mitchell nsa Minister, nnd so realistic was the presenta tion that it seemed a pity ho had not ndhered to his originnl design. Then came Miss Ilattio Decker as an old lady and her personification of that character was most excel lent. Miss Emily Mitchell and Miss Emily Warner as mother and child wero realistic? pictures of that liap Josiah's first lovo was a striking il lustration of tho fact that in his young days ho wns at least a con noisseur of taste nnd bounty. Per haps his affections wero wholly un requited. Miss Laura Bennett as tin old lad' reading the Bible was a faithful representation, no 01,0 could bavo more aptly been selected for such ft charming reminiscence. Harry Terwilligcr as the country boy was the embodiment of the spirit of modesty, health and awk wardness. Miss Alice linker as shadow nnd sunshine, looked as if she had been born and trained for this appearance so faithfully did she portray the shadow of childish sor row and tho sunshine of childish joy. Mrs. Susie Savaidgo ns a lady in ancient costume wos a model both in attitude nnd dress, while her sis t t Miss Lizzie Shinier, in her old fashioned garb presented a face and figure Madonna-like in purity and perfection. Misses Lily Mott. and Mima Bull as ladies representing the opposites ot styles, the former with a religious fervor closely scanning the pages of her book nnd the latter with maiden ly coyness glancing at tho 'hims' be yond were admirable contrasts ard life like characterisations of the role. Frank Thrall tho modern wild westerner scont looked ns if he had just (Unmounted from his broncho nnd stepped in for a moment to look in a surprised manner on the un-io-costumed sight of a goodly number 6f well dressed people gathered to witness an evenings entertainment.

This flefliitirul Spot Should be rrenerred for the Vne of the rnblle. In tho correspondence from this place to a nearby cotemporary the statement is made in substance that Mrs. L. R. Mott tho owner of the glen has received an offer for the timber nnd is advised by her friends to make a sale of it. This, of conrse, sho has a perfect- right to do, and we do not wish to bo understood, ns al vising in the matter. The glen is nn attraction to Mil ford and has been such for years, no one disputes this. That the owner who unvu tlin ..,r 1. ,kb l,,. il, ,,,,1,11', .., ' " ' T!, ,u ' elusion of everyone, cannot bo de nied. Sho is the owner and may put such restrictions in tho way of a rental or enjoyment as to her seems most prudent and profitable for the solo use and possession of hor prop erty. The point is, that the matter should bo finally settled, and that the annually recurring difficulty as tho the us.? of this property should be determined. If the glen is indispensable to the prosperity of Milford as a summer resort, then the pcoplo would be remiss not to secure it, in feo simple. Vo oppose the renting because that settles nothing and only prolongs the trouble, and postpones the in evitable. It is just ns well to make some final arrangement now as to defer it. Mrs Mott and tho people should each bo fair. If she would accept a rensonoble price for the glen it should bo bought, not by the Borough, but by some society as a villiigi improvement society organ ized for thnt purpose. If the timber is cut off the land becomes practi cally worthless for nny purpose ex cept n gont pasture, and it would to remain. Mrs. Mott or her heirs would in the end bo losers and so would Milford. Both jmrties would bo irretrievably injured. If the glen is no adjunct to the village pros perity then drop the matter and end tho ngitation by allowing the owner tn "nwKVFTihoa n"w-',TYv-pftrcrAj Vt chicken ranch. Let it be under stood that Milford is not dependent on this attraction, and stand by the result whatever it may be. If the glen is an absolute nocessity then it should be bought at any price, but we do not so view it. Its value is wholly incidental to its location, it has little intrinsic vnluo, practically none outside the timber. If as before stated tho owuer would accept a fair value considering its present and even prospective worth, then the town should buy it. If she will not but prefers to kill her goose lot the ax fail, and let tho people dismiss from their minds and the hotels blot out of their prospectus all thought and mention of the glen, and the pcoplo turn their energies to some scheme to adorn the town and ren d !r it otherwise attractive to sum mer guests. Milford will survive the amputation of the glen but tho glen without Milford would be a dead toe financially speaking. We suggest tVat a lnoetitig of citi zens be held, a committee npiointed to confer with the owner of the glon, nnd if a luati'sfactory arrangement can bo made as to price and terms of payment thnt a permanent organ ization bo formed for its purchase and tho payment. If not, then lot tho whole matter drop and let tho subject bo forever banished from our calculations and let us turn to some other method for the adorn ment and beautifying of our town, and perhaps in the end wo will be just ns happy nnd prosperous.
