To THE ADVOCATE Your wide awake
paper, which you so kindly send me, is read
with interest by us all so that we may be in
formed of what is going on in old Carroll.
The map of the proposed electric road from
Washington to Gettysburg shows at glance
lust what one wants to know. But one ques-
ton comes up which the map does not answer :;
Which of the two lines (the one via Wood
bine or the one via Mt Airy is to be built
Or will both be built? An answer to this will
be appreciated by an old friend, who hopes
before long to go humming through Carroll
ON the trolley If l had time | could give
YOU points on the advantages that Westmln-
ster has over Philadelphia in respect to water,
gas and clean streets. Sincerely,
JESSE HlGGIys,
TOnly one line will be built Two prelimi-
nsry SURVEYS were made and the map showed
both. The route to be taken has not been
selected. but the most feasible and the one
promising the most business is the one by Mt
Airv. This route will most likely be selected.
Except in the matter of lectures and libraries,
Philadelphia does not compare with Westmln-
ster, and among the advantages Westminster
has over the city of Brotherly Love, is free
dom from malaria and mosquitoes and heavy
taxation.-EDs.

Sherman on Cuba.

Senator Sherman, the coming secre-
tarv of state, has made the following
statement concerning Cuba:
81 do not believe the United States
government should interfere in the
Cuban trouble. 1t is not ours 10
interfere, nor will it be the place OF
our nation to endeavor to dictate to
the Cubans, should they be successful
in their present struggle against the
mother country. So far as | can
learn It present the Spanish govern
ment intends granting extensive
reforms in Cuba. Thus the insur
gents are to have practical autonomy
in all matters vital. II this is done,
as | am led to believe it will be, that
is all that is necessary, the war will
be settled. Why, then, should our
government attempt to soIvea prob
lem which at present seems to have
been solved? | am opposed to any
interference. No; am not prepared
to say what Mr.. McKinley's attitude
toward the Cubans is.

CLEVELAND AND MCKINLEY.
The President Shows Unusual Courtesies to
His Successor.

His Successor.
President Cleveland has shown an UNI
usual courtesy to President.elect Nc
Kinley, says the Washington correspond
ent OF the Philadelphia Times. During
the past few weeks the retiring executive
has forwarded to the man who is to
succeed him, every state paper and every
official document concerning the business
of this administration, which might be
of value to the next. The treaty with
Great Britain was in Major McKinley's
hands long before the newspapers got it,
and a great mass of stuff about Cuba
which has never reached the public, has
been forwarded to Mr. Mckinley with
Mr.. Cleveland's compliments.
In fact, the two have been in CORE
spondence ever since election day, and it
is proper to say, that they are better
friends now than any other two men
who have been under similar circum-
stances. Mr. Cleveland has had a good
deal of experience, both as a retiring and
as an incoming president, and he has
been in position lately to give the
major a great many points. That he
has not failed to take advantage of his
opportunity is evidenced by the fact, that
the president, elect is right now in pos
session Of more state secrets than ever
Secretary Olney will transmit to his
successor, when the day of the great
change comes.
The meeting between Mr.. Cleveland
and Major Mckinley on the 4th of
March, will be one of more than ord-
nary significance, because the develop
ments OF the past few weeks have brought
them closer together than the ordinary
course of events would in as many years.
Public men have just learned of MIR.
Cleveland's action, and he is generally
applauded for the common sense view he
has taken of the situation. That he has
given Major Mckinley a great many
valuable tips is not disputed even by his
political enemies.
The two men may be said to agree on
the currency question, and Mr.. Cleveland
appreciates fully, the difficulties which
will confront Major Mckinley, when he
assumes the reins of office. He had pre.
pared ull history of his own admins
tration's experence in the matter of bond
issues, and has incorporated with it re.
view of the effects on business of the
fluctuations of the gold reserve, which
Mr.. Cleveland firmly believes, serves no
more purpose as to trade than a Their
mometerdoes as to the weather. A man
with confidence in the conditions which
surround him can get along without
either.
COMPTROLLER Eckels has also prepared
a careful history of his administration
at Mr.. Ceveland's request, for the guild
ance of his successor

Wendall Rice, 65, eloped last May,
from that section OF Bennington known
as Coleville, with 14-year-old girl who
had been living in his family. He left
wife and an adult son. The couple APP
peared in Walden July l last and the
man introduced the child as his wife. He
found employment there as a farm hand.
The girl gave birth to still born child
Nov l. and the attending physician mott
fed the states attorney that the alleged
wife was not over IA. The couple had
given the name of Mr.. and Mrs. AbUah
Whiting, but in their conversation had
said something about Bennington. Let
tiers written to the officers there disclosed
their identity. The mans son went to
Walden last week and tried to induce his
father to return, but he refused and was
arrested. At hearing at Hardwick the
man was held in the sum of $500 and
the girl in 500 for appearance at the
county court on the charge of adultery.
The son furnished bail and the trio re-
turned to Bennington. 1t is said that
the girl is weak mentally, was completely
under the mans control and that he
locked her into the house when he went
away.

Prosperity Ahead.

Conservative business men predict
that the country is near a decided
change for the better, unless mis-
chievous legislation and war scares
fostered by the hot-headed element
in congress retard the upward move
ment
The following from Boston Her
aid interview with prominent rail
road man is at least encouraging:
II cannot examine the trade sta.
tistics OF the country, as made public
by the official figures for the calendar
year, without coming to the conclu-
sion that an era OF brilliant prosper
itv is foreshadowed and that a period
of financial ease is before us.
THE failure of general revival
in business after the sound money
victory of November is a very nat
ural result OF the prolonged depres-
sion, during which there has been
much loss in business and dislocation
OF the machinery linus Liquidation
and Encouragement under such cir
cumstances have been the inevitable
consequences, and these are indis-
pensablc preliminaries to healthy
restoration OF trade, and the revival
OF manufacturing industry. Many
concerns have been crippled by the
disastrous effects of the stagnation,
and the fact that many such cases Of
embarrassment have existed, kept
from sinking only by aid extended in
the hour of peril, has been too well
known to leading financial men not
to have had a restraining influence.
The bank failures have proved this
concusvelv. The inference is, that
the business world is waiting for a
clearing up of these disturbing ee-
ments, before embarking in new
enterprise with energy and conf
dence
"These troubles have been coming
rapidly to the surface. and will soon
disappear as retarding influence.
The large decline in our imports, and
the sluggish demand for domestic
goods indicate great reduction in
stock all over the country, and it
cannot be long before large renewals
will become a trade necessity.
81 think it is fair to anticipate,
therefore, that we are near the period
when a much greater activity will
develop in trade and manufactures.
Railway transportation is still
unsatisfactory, but railway traffic
is consequence and not cause.
Hence revival in general trade and
Industries will stimulate transporta-
ton. In short, believe the country
is near to a decided change for the
better in commercial point of view. "
