Said He Was Not a Free-Trader.
A party Of labor leaders were talking
politics recently and one of them, speak
ing TO James II. Deery. since nominated by
the Marion Democracy for the Legislature,
said:
..You know how firmly 1 believe in pro-
lection. and you being such o free
trader"
"How do you know 4 am for free trader"
answered Mr.. Deery. Il am not n free
trader"
This brief colloquy illustrates a fact
often found. When pressed for an an
swer as To their position in regard to the
tariff issue, many Democrats refuse TO ac-
cept their party's declaration. that protec-

Was Dealing in Pairs"
Yesterday County Chairman Merrill
Moores said to a Journal reporter: 81 was
informed several days ago that l. b. Curtis.
the horse breeder. had moved from Center
township To Washington township within
the sixty days and would lose his vote.
The young man who spoke TO me about the
matter n few days ago asked him if he
knew that he had lost his vote, aud he re-
piled that he dId. but that he had already
paired with two Republicans and expected
TO pair with two more before the election.
j think that this matter ought to be made
known 30 shat the Republicans no paired
with Curtis may know that they paired
with q man who had lost his vote any way.
and that they may arrange TO have the
pairs declared Ok"

point in the controversy.
He finds that the roads owned and OPP
Grated by the Philadelphia d Reading
and Lehigh Valley railroads, are not par
allel and competing and that the lease Of
the Lehigh Valley road by the Philadel-
phia x Reading road Is not in violation OF
the constitution of Pennsylvania.
He finds further that as the Central rail-
road company OF New Jersey and the Port
Reading of New Jersey are both corpora
tions OF New Jersey, the lease OF the Cen
trail railroad OF New Jersey to the Port
Reading railroad company is not in viola
tion OF the constitution OF Pennsylvania.
The coal leases are also sustained by the
master, on the ground that not more than
80 per cent of the coal output of the an
thracite coal regions OF Pennsylvania is
produced or controlled by the Philadel-
phia * Reading Coal and Iron Company I he
Lehigh Valley Coal Company and the Le-
high Wilkesbarre Company.

Republican senators In Caucus.

KepuDiican senators In caucus.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Immediately af-
ter the adjournment OF the Senate yester-
day the Republican senators went into
caucus, TO consider the line of policy for
the uidance OF the party during the ses-
sion. The senators talked over matters
for an hour, but without reaching any
conclusions. The anti-options bill, it Is
stated, was not brought up at all.
The present composition of the commit
tees yas discussed incidently, as were the
bills for the admission of Arizona and
New Mexico, but no action was taken.
At present probably majority of the
Republican senators are opposed TO these
bills, but a number favor them and the
subject is likely to form the leading topic
for discussion at the next caucus.
