Treasurer's Sale.
The Treasurer's sale of onsaated
lands took place Rt the Court House
Monday. ' A number of tracts were
sold, and some twenty lying in dif
ferent parts of the county were pur
chased by the State Forestry Asso
ciation It may be of some benefit
to have those lands protected .from
fire, and re-forested, but taxpayers
will find it in the end an additional
burden to make up for the loss in
taxes. There are comparatively
few counties to be directly affected
In this way, but the benefits are ex
pected to extend generally, and it
would seem that the sections deriv
ing benefit, i. e., the whole State
should compensate in some way, the
two counties at least, Pike and Mon
roe, which are less able to bear the
diminution. The other Conn tie
benefited bear no part of the burden.
It may be too late now to remedy
this hardship, but our representa
tives in the Legislature should be
called on to explain why they were
silent when the bill was being pass
ed. It was easy to see what the ef
fect would be, and men who are so
remiss as to stand by without mak
ing any attempt to protect the inter
ests of their constituents, are unfit,
either by reason of neglect or in
competency to properly perform the
duties which devolve on them as
representatives of the people's inter
ests. Had the matter been urged at the
proper time there can be no doubt
but that the fairness of the propo
sition to compensate these counties
for the loss of taxes would have
met with approval and some ade.
quate provision been made.
This oounty has in the past suffer
ed untold loss through the cupylity,
stupidity, treachery and "commer
cial infirmities" of her representa
tives at Harrisburg, and if she de
sires to be relieved of such incubus
she should send men to represent
her there who at least measure up
to the average in intelligence and
honesty.

in white, with their bright and
smiling faces. Mrs. John Wauna

fine indeed. The flowers and red

but very soon broken? The answer
was Good Resolutions. He spoke
of good and bad resolutions in
various forms atid interested the
little ones greatly. He made a good
impression on the children and also
on the large andionoe assembled in
the church.

Milford Fire Companies to arrange
for a Fourth of July cjle bration

The M., M. A N. Y. R. R.
Work is generally progressing
along the line and the abutment
on, the Pennsylvania side is com
menced. The pier is being built
and the foundation will soon be
ready for the iron structure. Some
more rights of way have been se
oured and the indications are
that the road will pass under Broad
St. between the Hissam and Davis
houses, which will necessitate lo
cating the depot some where in the
rear of the town. Harford street,
near the residence of Col. Lewis,
would seem to be a favorabie spot,
and would accommodate people com
ing off the hills in both directions.
There can bo no doubt of the ad
vantage to this section of a railroad,
opening up as it will, hotter oppor
tunities for marketing our natural
products, and facilitating the moans
of reaching here. This will induce
settlors, create a greater demand
for labor, and while it will bring
more direct competition to farmers
and truck raisers, yet it will also
place them in easier competition
with other markets. The milk in
dustry will be a possibility, and
while farmers ' oomplaln of low
prices, yet with our natural grass
lands, if producers would confine
themselves to making no more milk
than can be produced by feeding
their own products, the cost would
bo greatly lessened, as also the
quantity, and even if no better
prices prevailed the farmer would
not bo paying out each month the
greater part of his receipts for im
ported feed stuffs, as is now the
case with tho milk producers. In
Orange and Sussex Counties large
sums are annually paid out for
feed, and the strife seems to be to
produce the greatest possible quan
tity of milk. The profits go to the
Western grain r.ilsors. By a system
of raising green fodder, and soiling,
and a careful rotation of crops it is
possible to keep a cow a year on an
aore of land without depending on
foreign aid. True, the land must
be in a high state of cultivation,
but too many farmors miss their
profits by cultivating so much land
that does not pay the cost. We think
with the advent of the railroad a
new ora of prosperity will opon up
in this section ; certainly we will no
longer be out of tho worli, but will
be on an even footing 'with other
towns in that respect, besides hav
ing the great advantage Of the finest
scenery, most healthful surround
ings, and bc3t roads of any town in
the country.
A very bad man for locks is Ru
tin, the bicycle repairer. He re
cently made a key that opened 70
diif erent looks. Those keys are very
handy for boarding houses, as three
of them will take you through your
hotel. If you lose your key he can
nmko you one. 6-10-tf

Candidate For Congress.
Our genial friend, Col. A. E. Lew
is, 'believing he has an unsettled
claim of long standing, npon the
other oonnties-of the Rth District,"
announces himself a candidate in
Pike. With this aotion we are not
disposed to cavil, nor to donbt his
claim, but we must dissent from the
reasoning by which, aside from tho
"claim" he leads np to tho con
clusion that there should be, a Dem
ocratic Congressman in this Dis
trict. He says in his card that "our
friends in Congress are mainly re
sponsible for bringing things to an
issue of arms." Now as the Re
publicans happened to be largely in
the majority in that body it seems
natural to assume that he means
that party when he says "our
friends," for certainly the minority
cannot be held to that accountabil
ity, or does ho refor to he Demo
crats as the old lady did to herself
when her husband was successful
as a candidate, by saying, "Now me
and John is elocted the Constable."
"Ergo," he argues, "it is only right
that they (me?) should have some
thing to say about the disposal,"
etc., and to this end it is important
that this District shall be rescued
from the hands of the opposition."
To what end(?) if he means by "our
friends," the Democrats now in
Congress, for if that little hand was so
potent in shaping the issue, the same
number would be ample"to have the
say about the disposal ot our vic
tories." With all deference to the
abilities of .the aspirant, in what re
spect would the District be the
gainer, in substituting him for our
present representative? Both are
for sound . money, tariff matters
are now in aboyanc?, and so far as
we know there has been no criti
cism by our Demoeratio friends of
the able manner in which our pres
ent representative has conducted
himself ; and, as he has been in part
an active instrument in shaping the
present situation in all fairness he
should be allowed to aid in complet
ing the work.

Telephone Notes.
The Hudson River Telephone Co.
has completed its toll lines between
Port Jervis and Milford and work
men are now engaged in construct
ing the local exchange, which will
be in Brown's Building on Broad
St. Until this is completed tele
phone communication with Port
Jervis W'U be given free from the
Crissman honse. Now talk while
it is cheap.
The toll lines are composed of
copper wire and will be free from
cross talk and induotion. All work
is being done in a very thorough
manner, and the line will, with
prompt and efficient service, be a
great satisfaction to its patrons.
There are at present tweniy-two
subscribers in town and no doubt
this number will be greatly increas
ed in the near future. Tho com
