A REMARKABLE SPEECH.

Ex-Postmaster General John Wana-
maker at a recent banquet OF the Phila-
delpbia Business Mems League made a
remarkable speech on National and State
politics. After commenting on the failure
of promised prosperity to appear in conse-
-quence of McKinley's election, Wana-
maker said that the low state to which the
political religion OF the nation was brought
by unscrupulous bosses must eventually
result in new party.
"Political religion" may have something
also recognized disease. Just plain dog.

The petition for an increase of pay made
by the parlor and sleeping car porters, Is
based upon the complaint that tips are not
what they used to be. This Is not only
hard on the porters, but'the fact, II true,
shows that the times do not warrant an
additional increase of 20 per cent. on the
railroad charges, for the pleasure of having
the back of ones neck scraped by a last
years brush, and ones new patent leather
shoes drowned in varnish. Please grant
the petition, Mcssrs. Managers.

WHAT THE CUBAN WAR HAS COST

The New York Herald prints statistics
showing what the war in Cuba has cost
and points out the enormous losses of
Spain in men and treasure, hundreds OF
Thousands dead and dying from hunger,
tremendous shrinkage in production and
revenue, and home and foreign commerce
almost complety Destroyed.
In its news columns the Herald permits
~cue OF its trusted correspondents TO predict
that unless the Cuban war Is brought to a
speedy end, the island will be visited by a
famine and the inhabitants OF ii deci-
mated by epidemic disease in a way that
will not find parallel in the history OF hu-
man suffering.
These statements need no argument; II
IL is within the power OF this government
TO AFFORD relief TO the American citizens
now in want, that relief should be imme
diate. lit is within the power OF the civil
lied nations 10 stop the terrible devasta
tion OF life and property that the wa

the wrong is an important question, bu
its answer will come later. Each twenty
four hours OF the present terrors, sacrifice
from five hundred 10 thousand lives.

pended during his eight years reign,
and a legacy in the form of floating
indebtedness which has weighed down
and seriously crippled each succeeding
administration.
1 have no plea to put forward for
Mayor Elmendorf. His administra-
ton has been a disappointment to
many of those who supported him two
years ago, and has lacked in many es-
sentials the bold and vigorous policy
which marked the brief tenure of his
lamented predecessor. But it can be
said in defense of Mayor Elmendorf
that from the very inception of his in
cumbency he has been connected with
an organized opposition, whose hostil-
ity has been unconcealed and whose
determination has brooked no imped-
iment. He was elected in a February
blizzard, inaugurated in a mid-winter
cyclone and has been the storm center
for two years past of as bitter hurri-
cane as ever blew over the devoted
head of a man who arrayed himself
in opposition to corporate capital and
its always loyal followers.
I take it that every intelligent man
not blinded by pelf or craftsmanship
recognizes that the race is between FL
mendorf and Callaghan. Mr.. Lewy's
candidacy is simply a side show, de-
signed by enterprising managers as a
spectacular advertisement for the two
fold purpose of furnishing amusement
to the people and distract attention
from some private little entertainment
for their individual profit and pleasure.
Under such conditions, can any man
who desires a conservative, economical
administration of the city's affairs hes
itate to vote for Elmendorf? Judge
Callaghan was tried under conditions
most favorable. Mr.. Elmendorf has
not been fairly tested: but under the
most adverse and friendly and untow-
ard circumstances and conditions he
has given the city a clean conservative
administration. His chief opposition
comes from the corporations, whose
Establishments he has persistently re-
sisted. That fact alone should COM
mend him to the taxpayers of the city,
aside from any other consideration.
His election will insure an honest and

speedy completion of the sewer sys-
tenn, a strict compliance of all terms
of contracts with corporations and as
economical expenditure of the public
fnuds as is consistent with a proper
administration of government. Under
Mr.. Elmendorf's administration there
will be no change in the existing con-
tract with the Waterworks company,
whereby that corporation may shirlI
it's obligation to flush the sewers free
of charge, as well as the closets con-
nected with the sewer system, and pro-
badly restore rates to their former eX-
tortionate figures. No; under Mr..
Elmendorf's administration this will
assuredly not be done. But can any
one say it will not be done in the event
Judge Callaghan should be elected?
Citizens, taxpayers, ponder this mat
ter; study we'll your interests, for your
interests are the city's interests. We
have succeeded in a measure in re-
leasing ourselves from the clutches of
the Waterworks company. Let us not
foolishly, place ourselves again in it's
power. The election of Judge Gala
CHAN would be a long step in that di-
rection.

grant or convey any right that the
borough might not re-possess if at any
time it should decide to put in their
own water supply.
Attorney Miles stated that he did
not understand it; that in his opinion
the granting of this franchise would
forever preclude the borough from put
ting in plant of its own. While he
thought the men who were willing to
put their money into a project of the
Kind should receive all the encourage
ment that could fairly be extended
them, at the same time they We're seek
ing valuable privilege and one that
would have more bearing upon future
generations than upon the present one;
consequently he thought no action
should be taken that would prevent the
borough authorities from, at any time,
availing themselves of what they pos
sessed already.
After some further discussion Mr..
Miles was asked to insert a section in
the ordinance bearing upon the sug-
gestions which he had made. The
council then voted TO adjourn for two
weeks, when the ordinance will be vot-
ed upon.
The ordinance provides that the bor-
ough authorities may at any time af-
ter five years take the plant under GER
tain conditions, but the general senti-
ment is that this is a matter that
should be well considered.

An alarm of fire was given at Simpson

evening, and the roof of school house
No. / was found to be on fire. Although
the alarm was speedily given and crowds
gathered to the scene it was impossi-

scanty supply of water, which could
only be carried in buckets.
The building was large structure of
wood, built about six years ago at a
cost of $1,000. The building had been
improved and a Sperl heating appara-
tus had lately been added. 1t is not
known how the fire started, but it
seemed to be near the roof when discov-
cred. The directors of the township

as soon as possible. The loss is nearly
covered by an insurance of $500.

Constable Edward Neary was sum-

Wednesday evening. Deloskey, who
has long been known as Il brutal,

after assistance had been rendered was
he taken to the city prison.

assault We're preferred against him.
Alderman Jones held him in bail in the

Jail awaiting trial. His unfortunate
wife presented a sad appearance. Her
