But the people are not dumb, for they
saw we cannot speak too loud in telling the
difference between Store Eggs we have
been obliged to use for the last five days,

eggs with the thermometer below zero.
The change has come and we are all at it
again, and Kelly has his usual allowance

of egge from As Cents to 3S cents dozen.

ADJUSTMENTS.


Richard Golden and company will pre-
sent the attractive and refreshing portrai-
ture of New England village life, "Old
Jed Prouty," at the opera house on
Thursday evening. Mr. Golden's popu-
larity is perennial, and deservedly so,
for he is one of the most accomplished
and finished actors in his line on the
stage. His impersonation of a down
east rustic is unique in its quaintness,
humor and fidelity to nature. He gives
to the interesting old tavern keeper of
Bucksport an individuality and strength
effective, and to Mr. Goldens creative
talent the play owes its remarkable sue
cess,

An exchange says of "Cupid's
Chariot" which will be presented at the
opera house on Wednesday evening:
This funny skit was presented at the
opera house last night for the first time,
and caught on in great shape. The plot
is not much to boast of, but serves as a
frame work for the clever specialtie5 of
the Power brothers. The eccentric
dancing is very funny, the singing is ex-
cellent and the whole performance en-
tertaining, novel and amusing through
out.

The comedy drama, "a Nutmeg

house next Saturday evening.

Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1893-03-06

Our hat is off to the editor of the
Coopersburg Uehigh county, Sentinel
for the fve-inch local lpage reading ad
that he gratituously gave the TRIBUNE
on Thursday. The recent cold spell
caused the Sentinel to have another
of those fits to which Reading combine
sheets are subject, and in making an
effort to answer little question we
asked on the 23d of last month it
howls back with rage at our audiacity
in daring to question McLeod's
motives. The Sentinel writer, after
working his imagination up to the
highest possible point, goes on to
applaud McLeod's wonderful success
in the past, his greatness today and
the brilliant plans he has for the
future. Wages have increased, even
in Freeland, he says, and every honest
employe of the system approves of
what has been done. He is astounded
that the TRIBUNE should mention the
name of Mcleod, except in reverence
and humility; calls lis all the pet
names that Webster put in his book,
and winds up with the interesting in
formation that our opposition to the
Reading is caused by the companys
refusal to advertise in the TRIBUNE.
(See third page, sixth column, and
any issue for two years past.) In
conclusion he whoops up cheer for
his masters, declaring "the Reading
is all right and so are we, then makes
some unintelligible reference to
priests, and ends his slobbering with
large dash. For his generous ad-
vertising of the town and the TRIBUNE
we are very thankful, and if it gives
any relief to the pain that the combine
shouters are suffering from at present
we hope he will continue in his en-
deavors to suck pass from Mcleod.

germ the idea which was at the bottom of
the party which Hamilton created. 1t may
be called possibly the party which favors
the paternai theory of government, al
though that is not n strictly accurate de-
scription. 1t is the party which has faith
In the power and the duty of the national
government to do all proper things for the
development of the prosperity and happi-
ness of the American people. Those who
think as do will call it the party of prog
ress. 1t is the aggressive force in the ma
tional government 1t takes broad view
of the powers and responsibilities of the
government. 1t sees in the constitution
not only permission but command to do
those things which are essential for the
general welfare of the people.
This underlying principle will influence
this party's relation to all new questions
Social economic and commercal-which
may arise.
THE other party will be essentially that
one which was created by Thomas Jeffer-
son. Incongruous elements may appear in
1t, but they will be overwhelmed by this
mastering principle of the party as they
have been in the past. 1t will be the logical
and the healthy opposition principle to that
contained in the other party as its vital es,

The friction between these two parties
Will be conducive to national health Some
times the pendulum will swing one way
and sometimes the other, but In the long
run the average representing the extreme
view in neither party will dominate the
destinies of the nation. This is health.
This is the harvest of a vigorous and strong
government. This party will insist upon
curtailing to as narrow limits as possible
the powers of the general government and
will be sought by those who believe that
the government should do nothing which
private enterprise or states and municipal
tiles can do.

has been that which has enabled us, with
the shifting of power from one party to an
other, back and forth, to advance as we

cradle people to one of the great nations of
the earth, so that in the Twentieth century

The Democrats now have complete
control of the government-president,
house and senate-and they will be
held solely responsible for what may
be done or left undone in the next
two years The leaders Of the party
have an opportunity that comes but
seldom to any political organization
an opportunity to keep themselves in
power for many years and to advance
the interests of the country farther
than has ever been yet attempted.
To do this they must obey the COM
mands of the people, keep their hand
on the public pulse and bring about
the reforms the voters asked them for
last November. The time is past
when any body of men, large OIL
small, can afford to ignore the de
mands of the country. The tarif
was the issue upon which Cleveland
and his fellow officials were chosen
and in the platform upon which they
We're elected protection was dcnounc
ed in the most radical manner. Con
sequently the tariff should receive
attention in preference to every other
question. What was preached before
last November must be practised by
Democrats henceforth, or another
revolution will take place in politics
by which the Democratic party viii
be overthrown and dropped into the
obscurity that surrounds its prede
cessors.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1893-03-06

The grand demonstration at Wash
ington on Saturday was none too
great for the event. In but one coun-
try in the world can the victors and
the vanquished meet together with
such real harmony, and Americans
may well feel proud of living under a
government that can change the oc-
cupant of its White House without
the loss of one drop of blood. Men
and parties come and go, their poll
cies, ideas and opinions shift about
many times during their lives, but
the spirit of the declaration of indie
pendence has so thoroughly permeat-
ed the country that its stability is
never doubted, irrespective of any
ordeal through which it must pass.
BY a strict adherence to the principles
set forth in that document the United
States will continue to be the most
prosperous of all nations. Its citizens
must never cease to guard the liberties
they possess and should endeavor to
remove the restrictions which still are
upon them. The monopoly of land
and transportation facilities are two
burdens which, if removed, would
make America the happy and content
ed country that its forefathers pre-
dicted it should be. Even as it is,
this is the greatest government that
ever existed, and it is destined to
become greater.

believe that in 1898 the government will,
If possible, be more completely divorced
from ownership in railroads and telegraphs
than now. Long before that, faraway date
1t will become the settled conviction of the
governing classes the newspaper power
and of those writers who are read and Of
the speakers who are listened to that the
less the government NEEDLES with private
affairs, the less it interferes with CONNER
cal enterprises, and the more closely it
confines itself to the few but necessary
functions properly belonging to it, the bet
ter.
The doctrine that the government which
governs least is best will much earlier than
1903 be the unwritten but fundamental
law. Instead of enormously increasing our
civil service list, which government owner
ship of railroads and telegraphs would ne
cessitate, as the nation grows | believe it
will constantly but perhaps slowly decrease,
and that while the aggregate may be larger
the proportion of our people so engaged will
be smaller than in 1893
OF course know the apparent present
tendency toward Capitalization, but 100
years is long time and it will give ample
time for all great experiments in this
direction to collapse, and instead of the
government in 1898 taking the child at the
cradle and rearing him under public super
vision and under official control at the ex.
pense of the community, and finally, after
feeding and clothing him by law and under
rule and regulation, burying him in a state
cemetery and putting an official headstone
up for him, Il wiser generation will inter
fere even less with him and his occupations
than now, and men will be left to work out
their own salvation, politically and morally,
more than in 1893.
What is true in this direction will be true
of business enterprises of all kinds, and the
man who in 1893 talks of the government
buying and operating railroads will be
looked upon by the charitably disposed as
sort of Rip Van Winkle and by the more
matter of facta as an ignoramus, and by the
scientific as suffering from mild form of
dementia. MICHAEL d. HARTER.
