"PENNSY" WORK DELAYED
The Trackmsn Did Not Finish the Trestle
Last Night.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company was
so confident that the trackmen would com
plete work on the new bridge and trestlS at
Boston Run last night that the passenger
train crew was instructed to report this
morning ready to run the first train to Potts
Vile at six O'Clock. The trackmen did not
get along as rapidly as was anticipated, how
ever, and no trains were run over the short
line to-day. 1t is believed that all the work
will be finished in time to run trains tonight.
At least the railway officials are confident OF
that result.
The condition of Harry Welker and En-
gineer Cleavenstine, is still serious. Both
showed improvement yesterday morning, but
passed very bad night. Welker's head
panied him so much that Dr. James s. Car.
penter had TO be summoned for an extra visit
yesterday afternoon. CleAvenstine is suffer

Galleries Abandoned.

Several days ago the HERALD stated that
the p. d X. G. & l. Co. would probably
abandon ono or two of their collisries. Next
week, or as soon as the loose coal can be
removed, the Thomaston and Pine Forest
collieres will close down permanently.
Neither is mining sufficient coal to make it
pay to operate them. The abandoning of the
latter colliery throws out of employment
nearly 1000 hands, most of whom reside at
ST. Clair and vicinity.

A HERCULEAN TASK.

IN LAST weeks issue of our con.
temporary Col. Lewis, Demo
cratic candidate for Congress, payS
the PRESS considerable polite at
tention, for which we are grateful,
and with due modesty hereby aclI-
nowledge our humble position, and
our many sins of omission. We
have never, however, cOndoned the
faults of the last Legislature, or at
tempted to palljate its many sins il
the way of iniquitous measures
passed. For these ,transgressions
we sincerely hope the several con-
stituencies throughout the State will
hold the transgressOrs responsible,
and relegate them to private life.
We want to see only men elected to
the Legislature who have the in
terests of the people at heart, and
who will serve with an eye single
to their benefit, and if the Demo-
Gratis in this county, who in times
past have elected the representa-
tives, had been strenuous on this
point, Pike would long ago have
been in a far more prosperous con.
ditto. We undertake to say that
no greater curse has ever befallen
any community than the manner in
which our Democratic representa-
tives from this county have fritter-
ed away, bargained and sold the
rights of the people, especially in
regard to the bridge at Matamoras,
which has been. and is a greater
direct tax on the people than all the
measures ever passed by a Repub-
lican legislature, and which by the
open effort, neglect, or secret man
ipulation of our Democratic repre-
sentatives was allowed to be taken
from us. and thereby became a
stumbling block to the building of a
railroad down the valley We can
not influence the people of other
counties, we can only say, take
heed to the class of men you elect,
and we do most earnestly desire to
impress on the people of our own
town and county this admonition.
Now will the doughty Colonel join
US in the effort to purify our own
dooryards before Attempting larger
tasks?

EDITORIAL.
WHO is DECElVING THE PEG.
PIE?

CANDIDATE Lewis, in his letter
published recently, says the
editor of the Press "ought not to
try to deceive the people about the
recent Democratic State Convention
as he does when he tells them the
'Silverites were successful, when
on the square issue whether or not
the silver question should go into
the resolutions it was decided by
vote of 23S to 1S1 in the negative. ="
Does the guileless Colonel really be-
lieve that the Jefferson Democrats,
of whom in the campaign of 1896 he
was a conspicuous member, and a
pronounced Palmer and Buckner
man, were in control of the Altoona
Convention Editor Morey, of the
Monroe Democrat, who was a dele
gate and on the spot, distinctly af-
firms in his paper the contrary
Does any sane man, knowing that
Guffey and Garman, the former of
whom had just supplanted w. F..
Harrity in the National Democratic
Committee because Harrity was not
straight on the silver question, and
knowing that the two Gs. absolute
ly controlled the deliberations and
results of that Convention believe
that the silver question was left out
of the platform for any other or bet
ter reason than that they hoped TO
gather in men like the Colonel, who.
itching for Office, would be willing
to gloss over the omission, and
boldly attempt to argue that they
could not have inserted a silver
plank had they thought it polite to
do so? To further show the SINGER
ity of our erudite friend who now
inferentially at least, to put it mild.
ly, attempts to demonstrate that
the Press is trying to deceive the
people, wequote from the Rochester
Democrat and Chronicle, which
says under the caption "Going Back
on jerks :"
The anti-Quay Republican element
is not the only complicating factor
in Pennsylvania politics. This ele-
ment has been rather quiet lately.
and mauy Republicans are apparent
ly thinking better Of their talk about
Col. Stone, their candidate for Gov.
because he was nominated by con
vention which was said to be con
trolled by Quay.
On the democratic side, however,
there is a revolt which appears to be
rather formidable. The Democrat
ic state convention was controlled
by tho silverites who nominated
Mr,Jepks for governor, and who al

though they suppressed all allusiun
to national issues were under the
complete control of Col Guffey,
who is a Bryanite to the marrow of
his bones. The sound money Dem
ocrats are displeased and they are
going TO hold conference to deter
mine what course to pursue, The
Philadelphia Times representing
this element, says that 'for the
sound-money Democrats to indorse
the nominees of the Altoona conven
ton would be a public confession
that they are without conviction,
and that they are ready to barter
their principles, even without con-
sideration to their most pronounced
and proscriptive foe" And in the
way of advice the Times says:
1t would be unwise for the sound
money Democrats TO nominate a
third ticket for the reason that not
one-h half the Democrats of their faith
would support it. They will in the
end as a rule, vote their own con-
victions, and most of them are likely
to vote in the most direct way TO
prevent the success and continu-
nance of the proscriptive mastery
that ruled the democrats in the state
convention.
If this programe is followed, the
result is easily forecasted Col Stone
will be elected by majority of at
least 200, 600. And it will not be
surprising if these figures cores
pond pretty closely with the count
on election night which will show
whom the people of Pa. want for
Governor ="
Will the Colonel be at that con-
ference, and what has he to say III
reply to the structures of the able
editor of the Philadelphia Times if
he is not one of the foremost to con-
fer? Will he now, recalling that he
is a candidate for Congress, which
body has something to do officially
with the National Finances, and
which issue, so far as his candidacy
is concerned, is involved in the com.
ing election, state unequivocally hi
position on that question. The peo
pie will then be able to guess who il
the gay wouldbe deceiver.

The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1898-10-28

The Andrews Opera Company played
to a full house last evening and gave
universal satisfaction. The opera
Martha was presented, and was
handled in q manner which showed
careful training. The solo work Of
Miss Catharine Lee, as Lady Harriet,
vas we'll received and she was loudly
applauded. This lady is a singer of
marked ability. Miss Nellie Andrews
as Nancy" was better as an actress
than as singer. Mr.. Taylor in the
role of ''LioDel'' was a favorite with
the audience. His rich tenor voice
ssemed an inspiration to the others.
Mr.. Lea Veil also sang some difficult
solos. Ed Andrews as Sir Mickleford,
proved himself equal to the occasion as
he always does. When he appeared on
the stage he was greeted with round
of applause. However he is better in
comic opera. The chorus work was
fair, and under the direction of Chas.
Hazelrigg showed good training. This
company on former visits to -Denison
carried an orchestra, this time they
were without one, which in way had
tendency to damper the performance.
