It is a pretty safe prediction that
there will be trouble in the Demo
cratio ranksuext year when it comet
to making a nomination for congress
nan for this diatriot. Borne papers
re approving Mr. Palmer, the pres.
ent incumbent, and suggesting that
lie ia the logical snodessor of himself,
But will Northampton accede? If
lie was satisfactory to her political
manipulators why did they break
the agreement, or did they do so in
order to take Pike out of the raoe.
Will the Democrats ot this and Car
boo county submit, if after breaking
the agreement it is found to be done
In the interests of Palmer for another
term, with the dead oertainty that
Northampton will be next, and prob
ably next for several succeeding
, terms. With the tariff settled there
may not be opportunity for a con
gressman on the minority aide to
make any great display of forensio
or other ability and Northampton
may feel that one of her aons can
square np to the opening.
They call Dr. Shall dead one and
predict that in future hit onoepniss
aut arm will be paralysed. Be may
be dead in their opinion but possibly
in his own he is not yet buried, and
may bs a trouble maker when it
cornea to the .round up for rote.
We are not entering on the discus
ion of Democratic aituationa with
any view to arouse party feeling but
only men Hon the facts as tbey seem
to us.
Of oouree when It finally oomea to
landing in a valiant warrior to scale
the breaoh and seize the oolors
Northampton republicans may select
their in vincible leader 8cbneebeli, as
the one to oarry off the honors.
The bill introduced in the House
by Hon. A. M. Palmer to permit
National Banks to loan part of their
deposits on real estate security wil
mark an advanoe in Banking if 1
becomes a law. It is perhaps not al
ways best to place the borrowing
temptation before some men or to
make it too easy for them to obtain
loans, but as it is now many are de
terred from borrowiag to make nec
essary and profitable improvements
because of the difficulty of obtaining
a satisfactory endorser and of putting
np collateral. The rate of interest (
per cent which banks demand and a
renewal every three months at most
makes the interest more than a flat
per cent a year and if a man could
borrow at S per cent a year he would
save considerable. The bill would
be a relief to bank because now to
dispose of their surplna they must
boy only interest bearing bonds and
take the chances of depreciation. In
loaning at a safe margin to borne
oostomers on real estate tbey would
cbtain better security with no chan
ces of fluctuations In value.
The appearance of MUford never
was more attractive and its condi
tions never more healthful than at
present. The State bacteriological
department after examination of
both tha water and milk supply pro
nouncea them absolutely free from
contamination. Our streets have
been treated w ith a dust preventive,
and barring the faot that It is an ex
ceedingly dry and dusty period, aie
in excellent condition. The V. I. A.
has done innch to beautify the aur
ronn lings and the town oounoil and
health board have been alert to aid
in making the town a pleasant place
in which to spend the summer. No
contagious or infectious diseases ex.
1st here, malaria and mosquitoes are
unknown, and the fly peat ia al a
minimum. If you do not believe all
that is said a visit will oonvince yon
that the piotnre ia not overdrawn
We invite Investigation and the
olosest comparison with any other
town in tnis section. If there ia a
pleasanter or more healthful place in
whloh to pass the summer than Mil
ford we would like to have it men
tloned.
Vernon M. Pierce, assistant direc
tor of the U. S. good roads depart
ment, waa in town this week and
made an examination of the streets
and the effect glatrin has had on
them. He reports that the result is
as good as could be expeoted, that no
dust preventive will be wholly satis
factory without careful preparation
before being applied. All dust should
first be removed from the street so
as to have a clean hard surface. He
recommends for roads suoh aa ours
as the best all round dust layer,
water gas oil manufactured In Phila
delphia which oosts about 6 oenta a
gallon.
