The Tri- Weekly, in speaking of the open
ing of the Mahanoy Girardville branch,
wants to know How is this electric road
run, anyhow? Is it intended as feeder to
Shenandoah trade, or as a business enterprise?
Ever since the Mahanoy valley branch has
been in operation Shenandoah has been
kicking because Mahanoy City is on equal
terms with it in regard to electric railway
facilities. Mahanoy City has never ques.
toned Shenandoahs right to whatever
benefits it may receive from the road down
the Shenandoah valley, but our neighbor is
constantly endeavoring to invade territory
which is naturally tributary to u.s. The ex-
tension of the electric road from st. Mich
olas to Shenandoah is hardly a business en-
terprise. 1t will simply divide, not increase
to any material extent, the traffic Of the
road. Mahanoy City wishes impartial treat
ment from the electric railway people and
will be satisfied with nothing less" Say
friend Parker give us an easier question the
next time.

SPEECH

Tom Reeds speech in the closing de
bate on the silver bill must have been a
corker to arouse the democratic side OF
the house to applause on such a purely
republican proposition as this:
What we were IN our days of victory
we are in our days of defeat. champions
Of true and solid finance: and when the
dav comes. as il surely will come. for us
10 lead this land back TO the paths OF
prosperity and fame which were trodden
under republican rule for SO many years.
We shall take back with US our ancient
glory undimmed by adversely. our an.
cient honor unsullied by defeat.
Whereat. the chroniclers of the event.
tell us loud and long continued APP
plause burst from the republican side of
the chamber and from the galleries. and
ever the democrats an unwonted spec
tacle-contributed their share OF APP
plause. There Is hope for the country
when the dominant party recognizes
publicly the truth of such a statement.
Although Mr.. Reed was supposed to
be speaking for the repeal of the Sher-
man law h. devoted but little of his
hours time to that topic. recording him
self in favor of its repeal because.
whether Justly or not. the silver pur-
chases under the law were held respon-
sible for the outflow of gold and in con
sequence for the weakening of public
confidence. He did not consider the re-
peal a complete remedy inasmuch as he
did not consider the bill the only cause of
the present situation. and he left no
doubt in the minds of his auditors as to
what in his opinion was the moving
cause of the stagnation of business
when he said:
Il can characterize in a single phase
the cause Of the present condition of af
fairs. 1t is the undiscoverahle uncer-
tainty of the future of both the currency
question and the questions of protective
and evenu tariff"
An uncertainty that is understandable
is certainly one of the most p%erplexing
things imaginable. but it requires the
analytic ability of a Tom Reed to lay the
case SC plainly before the people. Still
Mr.. Reed is hopeful for the future. He
refuses to believe that the level headed
men in the democratic party are going
To allow the business of the country to
be ruined on a question of partizan
sentiment. and that the tariff will not
be interfered with for a year or two yet.

be better not to have any service. 1t is
on a par, rather below it, l think, with
the putting of female choristers and solo
singers in the Episcopal church in sur

better presentation before the congrega-
ton during the singing of the services.

continued the woman, with additional
energy of manner, that the attempt
was a failure-that young men were not
