are gazing upon the fleeing stream
as it escapes out of sight With feed
ing of sadness that it will no longer
turn our wheel.
We cant recall and reuse the stream
of time that has passed. Our meas

much of our resources has gone. No
economy of the future will make good
the expense or restore single part
of it. 1t has gone.
1t is natural therefore that we
should be found casting up our ac-
count with Time with some feeling
of solicitude. A retrospect is not
only natural, bat an inventory of our
remaining resources is not unwise, if
we would make the best use of them.
We have all determined to "turn
over a new leaf" Some of us have
been extravagant with our stock.
We have burnt our candle at both
ends. A view of what remains ad-
monishes that we cant afford this Law
ish policy. We will not yield to
any such unwise expenditure during
the year 1898.
We may not; but the chances are
that we will forget We economic

thing we don't economize.

Of it or not. The year 1892 has made
good record for itself We have
prospered as community. We have
not gained all we wanted or might
have gotten, but we have done fairly
well. Our town has continued to
grow slowly but substantially. We
are branching out here and there,
and the outlook for 1893 is as good
or better than twelve months ago.
When another twelve months have
passed we will be connected with our
sister state of Pennsylvania by line

an increase of population and wealth

men who have been prominent ia the

1T must net be forgotten, how.
ever, that the party has very hard
task to perform If we expect TO keep
the word we have passed to the
country. They gave us phe-
nomenal majority, one showing that
they expect us to do much. In do
ing this great deal depends upon
the State of New York and its great
metropolis. Interest Of the State
and of the party dem&IG, it seems to
me the selection of Senator who
cannot only defend the principles of
our party, but who can originate and
promote policies that may be pre-
sented for consideration in the SEN
ate. In order to insure this, the
Senator from New York should be
man not only experienced in pub
lie affairs, but who had a clear con
ception of the vitalissues with which
he must deal during the next few
years.
speaking frankly, as / have al
ready done to those entitled To know
my views, it does not seem to me
that the selection of Mr. Murphy
shows a desire or intention of placing
in the Senate man of such type.
This first used of our power,
would, | fear, cause much disappoint-
ment, not only in New York but in
the country. This the party ought
not be called upon to face. when it
is considered how much there is to
dc and what serious difficulties have
to be surmounted before it can be
done

Pittsburg's natural advantages

al advantages must be great indeed
that enable their possessor to take
things as they come without losing
ground in the contest. In the in

and energetic engineer remarks:
"West Virginia is certain to be de-
veloped. If Pittsburg assists in the

five stand aloof we may create a
dangerous and hostile rival"
The time has come for Pittsburg
to choose between increased activity
with progress or inactivity with that
progress of others which involves
its own retrogresslon. Pittsburg
must march 10 a livelier tune; it
must relinquish the dawdle for the
the quickstep. 1t must seek out
others and not be content to let 9th
ers search for it. Natural advanta-
ges must be made the most of by
artificial mprovements. Transpor-
tation facilities must be made to in
crease and multiply. This way lies
supreme prosperity for Pittsburg,
