PIPE LINES.

Our oil producing counties are much agi-
tated over the proposed new pipe line which
proposes to give the producers new outlet.
Why should they not have it, IL they are
are willing To build and pay for it' If they
can get their oil to market cheaper than
they now do by the construction of an addi-
tional line, they should have the privilege
of doing so. IL consumers eau get oil cheap
er by it, they are also the gamers. 1t is well
known that the present means of transporta-
ton are in the hands of monopoly. who
care nothing for any interest but their own.
To oppose healthy competition is not policy
for the people. 1t might rs well be argued
that the North & West Branch h. r. should
not be built, because the l.. & B. is in exis-
tence and a competing line.
The argument against pipe lines, that
they will inhict injury upon parties that
have invested money in more costly means
of transportation, is an equally good argu'
ment against sewing machines and moving
machines. A costlier plan of making
breeches and making hay was abandoned
for cheaper, switter, better methods, just a,
railroads superseded to large extent the
use of turnpikes and canals.

CONGRESS- AGAINST SUBSIDIES.
THE SILVER BILL.


1t is a matter for sincere congratulation
that Congress has at last put itself on record
against the granting of subsidies Our peo-
pie are under obligations to our member,
Hon. L. ID. Collins for his favorable vote.
The following Press Dispatch gives the views
of these measures at Washington, and the
votes of Pennsylvania members
,. WASHINGTON, January rs.
The House, by more than two-thirds ma
jority, passed resolution presented by Mr.
Mr.. Baker, Of Indiana, declaring against the
granting Of subsidies. The vote was much
larger than had been expected, but too much
reliance should not be placed upon such 0
vote. 1t is not an iron bound record. Simi.
lar votes have been taken in other Congresses
and the same men have subsequently,, in the
same Congress, voted the most liberal subsi
dies. They are likely to do SO IN this Con,
gress. There were many votes given for thii
resolution this afternoon which are certain Il
be given to the various subsidies. ..
The vote of the Pennsylvania members OIL
the anti-subsidy resolution was as follows
Yeas-Bayne, Campbell, Freeman, Over

The usual reasons assigned for Blaine's
assault upon Massachusetts appear to be er.
roneous. Some allege that it was caused by
the obtlseness of Massachusetts, republicans
in failing to recognize the greatness of the
Maine statesman at Cincinnati, and others
say that it was on account of Mulligan.
But these are mistakes. Blaine himself has
explained the cause of his Olympic rage. 1t
was all along of Daniel Webster and the
Ashburton treaty. For thirty years it has
generally been supposed that the treaty
negotiated by Webster with Lord Ashbur-
ton was quite a diplomatic success of the
great: Massachusetts statesman. The treaty
gave to Maie1 THE British settlement of Mad
awaska with about seven.twelfths of the dis
puted territory. And what was still more
important, it prevented a conflict between
the two countries over region that was not
worth going to war about. But Blaine now
says that Maine should have had the whole
of the territory, and he reproaches the mem
ory of Webster for its loss The country
nevertheless will rest satisfied with the set.
tlement as it stands. The accession of a
few thousand Blue Noses more or less under
the Ashburton treaty would have been o.
small consequence. Webster concluded
that they were not worth quarrel end the
wisdom and patriotism of his course have
been approved by the country. Had hi
ceded the whole of Maine Blaine would prob
ably be now laundering in the parliament
of the Dominion at Ottawa or teaching
school in Madawaska instead of assaiing the
memory of Daniel Webster in the senate o
the United States. 1t is plain that Webster
had the better of the trade with Ashburtor
though the concession of the whole of Maine
| would have been no serious loss.-Patriot.

The Philadelphia Press of Tuesday says
that there transpired on Monday in the small
two story frame house, No. 123 St Marys
street, an event which, while not without
parallel. is yet so strange and wonderful as to
merit more than passing notice. Gases Of
suspended animation have been a fruitful
theme for the romancists, and many tan
gled story and weird plot has been woven out
of apparent death, but subsequent and unex-
pected recovery. But while many well au-
thenticated cases are to be found chonicled
in medical works, one rarely falls to the lot
Of the newspaper reporter so full Of thrilling
details as that which the Press is enabled to
give this morning. On last Sunday week
the congregation worshipping in the old
Swede's church, on Swanson street, were
alarmed by the sudden fall of one of their
number, and it was soon learned by those
present that man named Schrack had been
taken quite i'll. Some of his friends removed
the PROSTATE man to the open air, where he
revived slightly, and was then carried to his

was at once placed in bed, and DR.. Jones, of
Washington avenue, called to attend him. 1t
was found that the patient vas suffering from
hemorrhage, but no immediate danger was
apprehended. During the past week Shrack
apparently progressed slowly towards complete
convalescence, and when DR.. Cantrell, anoth-
er physician who attended him, visited the
house on Sunday afternoon last there had
been apparently no unfavorable change and
when the doctor departed there was every
reason to believe that in few days the pa
tient would be completely restored to health.
1t was deemed advisable by his wife, howev-
er, that her sick husband be carefully watch
ed, and accordingly a friend of the family
agreed to sit up on Sunday night and until
Monday morning dawned Through the ear

when he awakened spoke cheerfully of his

speaks of the Lycoming county Senator as
follows:
Senator r. P. Allen appeared in his seat
this evening, after few days absence. The
gentleman is announced as candidate for
Lieutenant Governor on the Democratic
ticket by Madame Rumor. 1t is but simple
justice to Mr.. Allen to say that not a single
man has been named for this position who
would bring greater intelligence, culture or
dignity to the position.
