Judge Baer and associates refused tavern
licenses to all three applicants from this place.
At an adjourned court held in April mott on
was made for a rehearIng of the petitions for
the Somerset House and the PARK Hotel A
rule was made on certain parties, some of
which were petitioners for license, some of
which were remonstrants and some of which
were neither, to show cause why license should
not be granted at an adjourned court TO be
held on the 9Th of May. Considerable testi-
mony was taken, principally in favor of license,
and the result is that license was granted to
both the Somerset House and Park Hotel by
the Court. The opponents of license took it
for granted when the Court ordered a rehear-
ing that the majority were really in favor of
license, and any efforts they might put forth
would not prevent the granting of same A
majority OF citizens and successful business
men and seven-eighths OF the women were Cd.

sfationless Walls Enters . Protest.
the Editor of Ths Dlspntch:

To the Editor Of Ths Dispatch:
The abandonment of Walls station by the
Pennsylvania Railroad and the taking of of
trains has caused much indignation. Walls has
been and Ii one Of tho oldest stations on the
Pennsylvania Railroad. Mr.. Wall presented
the road with the ground for the station when
1t was in Its infancy. and after using the
grounds for the past % years free, and abusing
the confidence OF the donor. they have acted
the migrate to both Mr.. Wall and Walls In
habitants and left them In a sorry plight.
That the public may better understand the
merchants Of Walls are put to by the removal,
/ will submit these facts: Ii merchants want
freight or express they either have to 60 to New
Altoona, nearly two miles OF over an impass-
able, diapidated township road. or 60 to Will
merding, one mile away. If o woman. child or
elderly person wishes to leave or arrive At
Walls they do SO at the risk of their lives, as in
walk On a. the rairosd As trains fs pass pass
to and fro every i've minutes Of the
day the danger is apparent. The people Of
Walls are not chronic kicbers, but when
the Pennsylvania Railroad goes SO far as to ig-
more its patrons it is time to protest. The
public has put up with enough discomfort all
winter at Walls by having to wait IN all kinds
bandbox to shelter them. One poor woman is
known TO have lost her child's life from such
exposure. Still there was no complaint. But
since they have abandoned the depot here al
it is high time the public should know iI and
the railroad be urged to give Walls station.
Walls has about 500 Inhabitants. The ticket
agents receipts have been from 500 to 81 900
per month, so the Pennsylyania Railroad has
no excuse by saying the station did not pay.
It would seem that the road is bent on COM
pelling the people to walk on their tracks to
risky business, and fatalities that may cost the
corporation heavy damages may occur. II it is
the intention to boom other localities at the
expense OF Walls. the citizens of the borough
should look to the Baltimore and Ohio or the
electric limo promoters tor relief. The people
of Walls are not asleep, and the railroad will
hear from them. ]. ].

A Scrap Of Political History-Gen. jackson

Scrap Of Political History-Gen. jackson
Never Opposed the Nomination of Polk.
To the n1itor Of The Dispatcn,
Some days ago observed statement in one
of the papers, probably The DIsPArcH-I am
not sore. az l misplaced the paper and cannot
now lay my hands on tito the effect that Gem
eral jackson was opposed to the nomination of
James X. Polk for the Presidency in 1874 and
that the latter's nomination was distasteful to
the old Democratic hero. Against that state
ment wish TO place the following true story:
In the early spring of 1874 w. T. Il. Pauley,
Of Greene county. then journeyman printer
now a widely known and veteran editor was
80 enthusiastic in his admiration of General
Jackson that he determined to 60 all the way
to the Hermitage in Tennessee. on foot TO see
him and tender him his personal respects. He
stopped &C intervening towns on the way,
worked at the case for few days at . place,
and thus raised the means to enable him to
accomplish his mission. He arrived at the
Hermitage. General Jackson's home, short
time before the assembling OF the Democratic
National Convention at Baltimore. He
knocked at the door and was admitted by a
servant. Ho inquired II General jackson was
at home, and was told that he was, and con-
Quoted to scat in the parlor.
The servant apprised General jackson that
stranger was In the house and desired to see
him. The General walked slowly into the room
where young Pauley was seated and at his ap-
proach Pauley arose, shook hands with the dis
tinguished warrior and statesman and said:
General jackson, have walked all the way
from Pennsylvania to see you," to which the
General replied: young man. you have walked
q long distance to see a poor, feeble, old man
like me-"
After this salutation and rejoinder, the two
sat down together in the room, Pauley very
much abashed and en- barrassed in the presence
OF one 50 distinguirhed. After indulging in
some commonplace remarks, Pauley inquired
OF the General who would be nominated BY the
Baltimore convention for President, to which
the General promptly replied, Governor Polk.
This had the effect Of increasing Pauleys
embarrassment, and, as he had never heard
Polk's name mentioned in connection with the
then pending Presidential nomination, he got
the Impression that the old heros mind was
wavering-an impression strengthened BY the
Generals appearance, Who as Pauley states 1t,
was bent and feeble, and stains of blood ap.
peared on the ruff es Of his shirt.
It 10 due to Pauley, however, to state that
when the result of the convention ct BalIi.
more was made known, his impression az to the
state Of General Jackson's mind at the time he
had the interview with him was entirely re-
moved. Aud furthermore, the recent state
ment that General jackson was opposed to
Polk's nomination is contradicted by the old
Whig tradition that "Polk was appfnted BY
General Jackson" T.B, SEARIaHT.

Red Fire Out of Date.

RED FIRE on the stage is an abomination
that ought to be relegated to the limbo Of the
past. The audience seldom has a chance to
taste the rich favor OF the fumes to the full
but actors and STAGE hands know it only too
well and they are welcoming the advance of
other illuminating devices-especially the
electric light In combination with colored
glasses-to take the place Of red IRE. On
Thursday night the audience In the little
BE wickley Opera House had dose Of red nre
that brought about a chorus Of coughing not
down upon the musical programme. and the
"Heroes Of '91' showed themselves to be heroes
OF . later date by continuing the cantata
through the clouds. A good sized stereopticon
will throw all the red glare needed for any
tableau, and IL is safer as well as sweeter than
pan of red fire.

railway influences to the canal is the natural
outcome Of the railway policy of defending
its exclusive control of transportation; but
impartial students know that to be mis-
taken policy, The Pennsylvania Railroad,
under as enlightened q management as any
railroad in the country, bitterly opposed the
creation of competition at Pittsburg; but
everyone knows that the increase OF busi-
ness as result Of that competition has given
that corporation an immensely increased
traffic. The same thing will be evidently
true OF the canals. The fact is that IL the
future capabilities Of this region are fully
developed, its ore and coal traffic will be
beyond the physical capacity Of the rail-
ways to handle; while, II the canal is per-
mitted to secure that expansion. they can
obtain large increase Of revenues from. the
higher classes OF freight.
As to the people who condemn this pro-
ject without investigating it, only one
method of treatment is open, and thatis to
circulate the official statements showing its
practicability. This brings out public
dnty to which Mr.. Goodwin refers incident
ally. The report Of the Canal Commission
gives exhaustive information on this point.
Aresolution for printing additional copies OF
that important document has passed one
branch of the Legislature, but seems in danger
of being forgotten in the other. Our represent
atives should understand that there Is no
subject on which the people of Pennsylvania
are more vitality interested than this one.
They should not overlook the Importance of
providing for the wide circulation Of the
authentic information needed to overcome
an opposition based on ignorance.
The issue Is strongly stated by Mr.. Good
win. Western Pennsylvania and E astern
Ohio can either be the center of the iron
manufacture Of the world, or they can be
condemned to experience arrested growth.
Which it will be will depend on securing
for the man ufacturers Of the sections the in
estimable benefit of cheap water Transports
tion for their heavy freights.

BANK EXAMINERS SHOULD EXAMINE

BANK EXAMINERS SHOULD EXAMINE.
The failure Of another national bank in
Philadelphia indicates that the vices OF
spec ulation and unsafe banking have made
more severe inroads in the solidity and sta
bility of Philsdelphia's banking business
than would have been deemed possible In
accordance with that city's proverbial char
acter. The disclosures of the previous fail
ures leave no sort of doubt that all these dis
asters are due to "kiting" and speculation
by their executive officers.
Another phase Of the failures assumes ma
tional dimensions. Formerly the govern
mental supervision of the national banks
made such bank-wrecking as has lately been
known in Philadelphia and New York
almost impossible. If there are many more
such failures among the Eastern national
banks there will be basis for Congressional
inquiry whether the political changes back
and forth among the bank examiners have
not diminished the efficacy Of that former
safeguard to good banking.
