Pennsylvania is largely interested, and
some of the lines the latter at present
controls connect with it, for instance
the Sunsbury, Hazleton and Wilksbarre
in this vacinity and their lines to New
York, and also to the West, which would
give enlarged control of kind of traffic
coal-which is eagerly coveted 1t is
assumed that in case the Pennsylvania,
should get control of the Lehigh Valley
the official management would continue
the same or nearly SO as now, while the
policy would undergo such changes as
would conform to the admirable system
of the Pennsylvania, which is everywhere
noted as having attained to perfection in
railroadng. The transfer would be a gi
gantic transaction and we in common
with all our business people would be
glad to see it ccomplshed. d.-Ha=leton

Rum !!

A celebrated western lawyer in an adj
dress to jury during liquor case trial,
drew the following vivid, appalling, but
truthful picture of rum and its deyilish
work:
II believe that it issues from the coiled
and poisonous worm in the distillery un-
til it empties into the hell of death, dis
honor and crime, that it demOralizeS eve
ry body that touches it, from its source
to where it ends. | do not believe that
anybody can contemplate the subject
without becoming prejudiced against liq-
Of the stream of death; of the suicides,
Of the insanity, Of the poverty, Of the ig-
norance, of the destitution, Of the little
children tugging at the faded and weary
breasts of weeping and despairing wives,
as king for bread; of the talented men Of
genius that it has wrecked, the men
struggling with imaginary serpents, pro-
duccd by the devilish thing; and when
you think of the jails, Of the almshouscs,
aSylums, prisons, scatl'olds upon either,
| do not wonder that every thoughtful
man is prejudiced against this damned
stuff called alcohol.
sIntemperance cuts down youth in it's
vigor, manhood in its strength and age
in it's weakness. 1t breaks the fathers
heart, bereaves the devoted mother eX-
tinguishes natural affections, grasses con-
Jugal loves, blots out filial attachment,
blights parental hope and brings down
mourning age in sorrow to the grave.
1t produces weakness, not strength; sick.
ness not health; death, not life. 1t
makes wives, widows children, orphans
fathers, tiendS; and all of them paupers
es gout, welcomes epidemics, invites
cholera, imparts pestilence and embraces
consumption. 1t covers the land with
illness, misery and crime. 1t fills your
tails, supplies your almshouses and de.
mands your asylums.
''It engenders controversies, fosters
quarrelS and cherishes riots. 1t crowds
your penitentiaries and furnishes victims
to your scattolds. 1t is the life blood of
the gambler. the prop of the highwaymal
and the support ofthe midnight incendia
ry. 1t countenances liar, respects the
thief, esteems the blasphemer, land honors
infamy. 1t detames benevolence, hates
love, scorns virtue and SANDERS limo
cence. 1t inciteS the father to butcher
his helpless offspring, helps the husband
to massacre his wife and the children tC
grind the parricidal axe. 1t burns ur
men, CONSTITUTES women, deteSts life, ours
cs God and despises Heaven.

The Indians at Newajo Preservation
threaten trouble unless the agent, Galen
Eastman, q Presbyterian minister is re-
moved. Some time ago, by i'll advised
acts, Eastman so excited the Indians that
they threatened to kill him. Eastman
was superseded by an army officer but
was recently rc-instated. 1t is reported
that his first move was to endeavOr tC
make the Indians 90 to church and stop
using tobacco. They number 5000

Tuesdays Press gave rumor as being
current in Philadelphia to the effect that
the Lehigh Valley RR. was to be leased to
the Pennsylvania RR. This same rumor
has been current many times before, and
whether the present is any more likely to
become a fact than the rumors which
have proceeded it is of course not now to
be seen. The Valley is a dividend pay
ing road, and it would be advantageous
to the Pennsylvania to control it for this
reason. Another and more important
advantage OF its location through and adj
