AN ADVANCE IN RATES POSTPONED.
THE ROADS REPRESENTATIVES, TO MEET AGAIN
IN CHICAGo-ACTIoN ON TIE BILL
OF LADING QUESTION

The Joint committee Of the trunk lines and their
Western connections yesterday adjourned TO meet IN
Chicago August IA. No action was taken for q
restoration advance Of eastbound freight rates. which
the object for which the meeting was assembled
The subcommittee to which had been referred the de-
tails necessary for an advance could make no report
to the main meeting sufficiently encouraging to war
rant the ordering Of higher tariff. The question OF
dTclental rates the dressed beef traffic was In u
shape to submit TO arbitration, but the question Ol all
advance In grain rates excited controversy The need
Of thorough cooperation with the lake and rail COM
bnationS and the lake lines was felt and the future
conference is designed 10 secure this. The feeling
was general however, that future negotiations would
be successful In restoring rates TO fair basis.
The question of the uniform bill of hdins which is
objected to by many merchants was discussed ana

HENRY wATTERsON's VIEWS.

Speaking of Democratic hopes for the
next election, at Charleston, S. c., the
other day, Hon. Henry Watterson said ::
Il believe that the disintegration of the
purely war party of the Northwest will
continue; but as to the hopes of a Demo-
cratic victory at the next election, have
not changed my views that the Demo-
cratic party will still have TO look to and
rely most certainly on States like New
York, New Jersey, Indiana, and Con-
necticut. 1t will require them, with the
united South, to carry the election, talk
ing the new States into the Republican
account
He regards the outlook in 1892 as en-
couraging. If New York comes to the
Convention united for Cleveland, there is
no doubt that he will be nominated but
if such be not the case, the party must
look elsewhere for nominee. 1t would
be suicidal to take the nominee from New
York State if it were divided, and there
were an evident determination of any con-
siderable body to knife the party. Out
side of Cleveland there is no one whom
think of now as the nominee, but no one
knows what may happen. believe If
Cleveland should go back to the White
House he would go as Democrat, and
not as Mugwump, though have nothing
to say against the Mugwumps, and mean
NO disrespect to them in this reference L
simply mean that l take no stock IN the
ideas of civil service reform as they were
advanced by the great Mugwump leaders
and newspapers and accepted by Mr.,
Cleveland, believing as l do that this is
representative Government based upon
party responsibility, and not a Govern
ment of mere individuals holding their
places ty kind of divine right of their
own assumption and assertion"

DOES NOT AGREE WITH THE COURT.

Neal Dow, the great temperance leader
of Maine. is very much exercised over the
dicision of the Supreme Court of the
United States with regard to the importa-
ton of liquors in original packages which
we published in our telegraphic columns
the other day. He says: was much
snrnrlsed at the decision for it was not IN
harmony with the previous utterances oil
the Justices of the Supreme Court. 1t
ignores entirely the police power OF the
several States, and the Justices OF the Su-
preme Court have always recognized that
as having full authority and power in all
matters relating to the health, life and
morals of the people. Some OF the JUS
tices have referred to the fact that navl-
CATION and commerce are interfered Wild
and at times absolutely stopped by the
quarantine regulations even Of cities by
the local police power. Not only are
ships stopped, but their crews and pas
sengers arc held for days, and even
for weeks. The owners OF the ships
are put to a large expense, mot only by
the detention of their vessels, but Tor
fumigation. The local police power may
seize the entire infected cargo OF ship
and destroy it. The 'ocol authorities
prevent cattle, if sick with an infectious
disease, from being brought into the State
or if such cattle are brought in, they may
be killed. The local authorities may
arrest passengers, whether by land or sea,
If sick of a contagious disease, and put
them in hospitals or isolate them in a
pest house. In short, the police authori-
lies may do whatever the local power
deems necessary for the protection of the |
health, life and morals of the people, and |
to secure the good order of society, an
this right has always been recognized by |
the Supreme Court of the United States.
But this decision of the majority of the
members of the Supreme Court ignores
entirely that great controlling principle
This will lead to one very good result.
Congress will now feel itself compelled TO
concede all the powers needed to the
ates. "

Important Surgical Operation.

CuTTolltoWn News.
On Wednesday afternoon DIR. NJ. ].
Buck, OF Baltimore, assisted by Drs. ]
V. and A. ], Maucher and DR.. G. Fl.
Sloan, of this place, performed an i'm
portant and difficult surgical operation at
the Gray Hotel. The subject was John
Gray, eldest son of ex.Sheriff ]. A. Gray.
aged fifteen years. About nine years ago,
as the result of severe attack of scarlet
fever, sores of scrofulous nature an
peared on different parts of his body, and
finally settled in his left side near the
breast, and also in his left leg above the
ankle. The bealiDg in his left side or
breast, after discharglng matter for
years, and from which several pieces of
bone were removed, healed up about two
years ago, but the diseased limb continued
to discharge pus and to cause him much
Inconvenience.
AT o'clock on Wednesday afternoon
the patient was chloroformed and placed
on the operating table. At precisely 4
o'clock DIR. Buck inserted the scalpel and
making an incision six or seven inches in
length from the ankle joint upward, ex.
posed the lower third of the tibia and
proceeded to remove the diseased portion
of the bone. The disease embraced a
portion of the bone two and a-half or
three inches in length, approaching the
ankle joint and almost the entire circum-
ference, all of which was successfully re-
moved and the wound dressed in the short
space of half an hour. Beside the sur
geon1 named there were present during
the operation, Mr.. Jas. Scanlan, Mr.. ].
W. Sharbaugh and the writer.
On Thursday morning Johnnie was
resting well, without pain, and it is con-
tideutly hoped that from the present will
date his relief from what must have re-
NAMED lifetime affliction.

WHY SHOULD OUR BUSINESS MEN
CONCENTRATE.


Stores Might be Successfully Conducted In
Other Localities Besides on a Certain
Square or Two.
There exists, for some reason or other,
an inclination on the part of our business
men to buddle together, as it were, about
square or two in the vicinity of Maih
street, between Franklin and Clinton.
and on Clinton. just why other parts of
the city could not be used as we'll for
business purposes, is query not clearly
understood.
of late business places have been
springing up to a limited extent on Rail.
road, Franklin, and Bedford streets, but
as yet the old centre of the town is
sought as the most desirable place for a
business stand. This tendency on the
part of merchants to concentrate, has the
effect of raising rents to very high
figure in the central districts, which if
the business houses were extended to
other places, say down Main further or
on other streets not now used for such
purposes, less rent could be charged for
what are now considered central loca-
tions. Good stores in other parts of the
city would command share of trade
just as readily as in The so called centre
of trade. This might not be true at the
outset. but the customers would soon get
disabused of the notion that store is not
a first class one because it is not located
in some particular district.

Good Thing all Round.

The decision of the Supreme Court as
to the traffic in liquor between States will
have two important results
First-It will afford the people who
desire to drink beer or whiskey in prohi-
bition States the opportunity to get bet.
ter liquor.
Second-It will make the prohibitory
liquor agitation national instead of a
State or local question.
The moral and political effect of the de-
cision is likely to be of immediate benefit
10 the country. To improve the quail tY
of the tipple in Maine, Kansas, Iowa and
other States similarly situated, is no light
thing. 10 thrust a new bone of conten.
ton into the inner councils of the grand
old party, which will hereafter be obliged
TO carry protection on one shoulder and
prohibition on the Other, augurs well for
future peace and prosperity.

GoBIN OPPOSED 10 DELiMATER.


The Pittsbur-l Times (liepublican)
prints dispa'ch from one of its staff
showing a decided revolt against Senator
DeIamater among the Republicans of
Lebanon county. j. p. ). Gobln, the
State Senator from that district, said it
was hard to trll, " ith the feeling nrevail-
ing at present v hethcr Delamater could
get majority at Ill in Lebanon county,
despite the fact ii at Harrison had $500
and Lebanon was one of the two counties
in the State not affected by the revolt of
1882.
" There is a general impression" con-
tinued the Senator, "that what strength
he has he got as the personal candidate of
Senator Quay and by the determined
work of the State Committee, aided by
distribution and the promise of dlstribu.
tion of federal patronage. There is Il
feeling of resentment against methods
which are as obnoxious to Lebanon
county Republicans when used for one
man as when they are used for another,
aud which are no less resented when used
in Cambria, Schuylkill, Wayne, Berks or
Allegheny than if they were exercised
against ourselves"
