STATISTICS for the first half of the
gear show that new undertakings
'in Manhattan, Bronx and Brooklyn
have crossed 800, 900, 900. For the
'same period of 1898 the total was
o60, 900, 900. About 10, 900 plans for
new buildings were filed during the
past six months.
In Manhattan and Bronx the first
half years operations called for an
e85. 600, 600 outlay. This Is nearly
20 per cent greater than the figures
If 1898 In Brooklyn the $4,000, 900
ictal is IS per cent. greater than
that of year ago.
From these facts large interests
argue that New York is getting and
will continue to hold. the lion S share
OF the country's prosperity.

Four boys, ranging from s to II
years of age in Phila., were arrest
ed yesterday for burglary. More
than half a dozen robberies were
committed on Sunday, in which
these youthful thieves took part.
The boys had buried their plumber
in a vacant lot, which was recover
ed by the police. Such boys need a
wholesome lesson by sending them
to reformatory, where they should
stay until they were u years of
age. 1t is too bad that the parents
of such boys do not take any better
charge Of them, but allow them to
run the streets and grow up thieves
and blacklegs.

THE Every Evening says: "Tax-
es are high enough, they bear upon
all classes and conditions of people,
particularly upon those possessing
only ordinary means, to many they
are painfully burdensome. The
revenue tax is caused by the war in
the Philippines, which unfortunate
ly has been thrust upon the Admin
istratlon and has therefore got to
be harshly dealt with. What would
the Every Evening want the gov
ces? Shirk the responsibility thus
put upon its should ers, and leave
these half civilized savages to set
up a government worse than Spain
had in the Islands.

Bryan should be put up a second
fine to be knocked down. He will
surely be defeated for the Presi-
,iency in 1900. He still sticks for
silver 16 to l, which fallacies have
been knocked in the head by the
good times promised under the Nc
kinley administration, of which we
have had evidence for the past two
years. The iron business has been
exceptionally good and every other
business has followed in its wake.
Men that want work and are of any
account can get it. There is no
need of men walking around with
their hands hunting Job.

announced that they have selected
the site for the workhouse on the
Finn farm near Brandywine
Springs, which was first announced
in the REPUBLICAN some three
weeks ago. The much talked of
quarry scheme can here be put in
practice as the new site has a
quarry Of blue granite on it. The
work of building the workhouse
will soon be commenced, and it is
expected that the trustees will have
it completed before another year
rolls around.
