Chief c. NJ. Hough appeared be-
fore the Town Council at it's last
meeting and urged the Importance of
procuring additional hose for the
Fire Department. The matter was
referred to the Street Committee.
The subject of protection against fire
is at all times of the first Importance,
and in this onnection we would call
tue attention of the Council to the
fact that there is not fire plug any
where on Washington street between
Lawrence and the top of Potato Hill,
distance of over four squares. 1t
is true that Evitt's run flows through
this district, but the futility of re-
lying upon this as means of fighting
fire was fully demonstrated in the
recent burning of Squire David How
ellis stable, which threatened the
destruction of large amount of
property. The people in this dis
trict are entitled TO the same protec-
ton in the operation of our water
system as any other portion of the
town, and we feel assured that the
matter will be fairly considered and
q plug put at some suitable point in
this long stretch.

At meeting last Thursday even

Executive Committee, of which Mr..
John Porterfeld is chairman, in con-
sultation with the Mayor, official in
formation was laid before the con-
ference showing that the act of the
recent Legislature in regard to town
elections only requires the Australian
system where the vote cast at the
last election was not less than three
hundred. Whilst there are possibly
five or six hundred voters in the cor
poration, yet there were only two
hundred and four votes cast at our
last election. So we will vote I'M
der the old system at the coming
election, with a free chance for all
candidates until sunset of election
day.

The manufacturers Of the country be-
lieve that the free trader has done his
utmost, and that there can bo no more
successful assaults upon the protective
system This belief is becoming genor-
al, and is strongly inreuchad in the
fact that both houses Of the national
congress are Republican aud will resist
any effort to further assail the tariff
laws.
From this condition, which all fair
men must admit, the manufacturer is
encouraged to reopen his mills which
have been so long silent, and business
enterprises Of all kinds are encouraged
for the same reason.
The feeling in Pennsylvania is gener-
al that Congress win remain Repub-
licon and that Qnay, Mckinley or
Reed Will be elected president, which
will insure an era of prosperity by pre-
serving the protective elements Of the
Wilson bill and ro-euacting those por-
tions Of tho Mckinley law which seem
necessary for our industries and laborors
