Many Remained.

A good sized contingent, however,
remained at the Delaware and Hudson
station, and, when at 9.q5 O'Clock the
gong announced the arrival Cf the
advance guard at Sunbury, the crowd
began to swell rapidly.
This crowd, too, was dispersed short
ly aftcrward persistent rs it was. The
Delaware and Hudson station officers
cleared out the station, locked the
doors and gave it out that It would
be daylight before any of the soldier
trains would get in. Most Of the crowd
took this for granted and departed.

Crowd Dwindled Away.

As 3 o'clock approached and the an
nounCement was still wanting that the
first section had reached Harris
burg the crowds began TO dwindle
away.
The progress of the trains, as an
nounced exclusively by The Tribune
bulletins, was passed from mouth to
mouth through the entire city, and as
they showed that even though the ffsi
section should come through without
waiting for the others il would he
along in the wee sma' hours before
it would reach Scranton, the idea of
waiting to shout welcome faded from
the minds of many.
There was nothing definite known as
to whether or not the rrst section
would come through without waiting
for the others. Nothing very definite
was known as to what time this Sec
tion would get through If it did come
direct This indefiniteness coupled
with the general disappointment over
the struggling manner in which the
different sections were 20 come in sent
the crowds home.

try lies in the blind adherence to
party which possesses most men.
Nearly every abuse counts upon par
tisan fealty for its furtherance. Pub
lie opinion was formerly formed by a
few leaders Lately it has been
formed by few leaders and few
great newspapers Since wealth be-
came omnipotent in this country, its
agents have seen to it that the di-
recting minds in public life and the
great controlling newspapers have
been steered into the needed chan
nels, and that through them the
thoughts of the people have been
given direction.
So parties go into a campaign in
tense in their advocacy of certain
men and principles; the world in
their estimation hangs upon the re-
suits; there is no end Of passion and
enthusiasm and excitement, and when
it is all over the men who have made
the punch and judy show chuckle at
the result. If the result toward the
close becomes doubtful, then the en-
misaries Of money go out and pur-
chase the needed votes to accomplish
what is required This last is the
greatest danger that now threatens
the Republic, for the money power
is so entrenched that it is almost all
controlling The cry now is trusts
and the thought is they must be
downed How is it to be done? We
have seen a combination of moneyed
men absolutely dominate the five
great powers of the world for the
past twenty-five years. Their first
legislation was obtained by stealth
so shameless was it that they did
not dare present it to any Legislative
body fairly, but ever since they have
succeeded in preventing its repeal
and now they and their adherents
take lofty grounds and assume that
only ignorance or avarice could cause
any question of the absolute scien-
tlhc justice of their position. When
any sufficient protest has been framed
against them, it has been coupled
with so many wild schemes and rad
ical, foolish issues, that conservative
men have turned away in disgust and
despair; the old party whip has been
cracked and the professions have
moved along the old lines, and quite
half their victories have been defeats
One Of two things will have to be
done, either a way out will have to
be provided for the ballot, or, by and
by the sword will be appealed to, and
then, as usual, most of the suffer
ing will be among the poor. Salt

The fact continually slarcs us in
the face that Weiser has absolutely
no fire protection whatever, and at
any moment the destroying element
may appear, as it has appeared in
the past to our sorrow, and we would
be completely its mercy This alb
sence Of any safeguard has caused
the business men Of town to pay
more each year in increased insurance
rates than it would have cost to get
some kind of protection. Water is
only five feet beneath the surface of
the street, but it might as we'll be a
mile deep for all the good it would
do at presentif the raging liend should
wave its flaming banner. 1t is but
simple and inexpensive matter to
dig few large wells at proper local
tiles, fire engine to lift the water
from the wells and throw it on the
flames would cost more than the wells
themselves, but the reduced rates of
insurance would pay it, aside from
the lessened danger of losing home
or business in an hour. We need
some kind of an engine and also a
hook and ladder company, and to
90 without either when we are able
to have both is simply criminal neg
ligence.

Breaking the Net.

One Of the things which John speaks
Of with surprise is the fact Of the un-
torn net when 60 many strong hsh had
been caught. One Of the surprising
things about church nets In the past
has been the rents which have let ont
such a multitude Of those once In
closed. How often has the cry been
raised: Glow can we hold our young
people I" ''What can we do for our
young meni"
1t is a fact, all too true. that In
many places the half grown boys drift
out of the Sunday school and never
come back to the church. What Is the
causef What Is the curef Much has
been written and spoken about this
evil, and wisdom is not yet exhausted,
nor has the complete cure been yet
found. Nets still. break and boys get
away into deep waters and are lost.
Some few items we have learned
about this business. Old nets are apt
to be rotten. New ones hold best.
Don't rush or frighten the fish or try
to do everything in a minute. Slow
and sure is a good rule In working q
seine. But don't be so slow that the
Ash all get away before you begin to
''purse up the net" Keep all nets In
repair. You can't tell which one will
be needed next, nor how soon. Fish
whenever you get chance. and not
just when You feel like IL. You must
study the fishes, feelings more than your
own IL you are to catch them.

Inquiry Of Endeayorers and

The TRANSCRIPT desires to
have answers to the following
query from members of the
Christian Endeavor and Epworth
League Societies: Months ago
the TRANSCRIPT inserted a col
umn upon the Sunday School
Lessons which are so generally
used. 1t is presumed these COM
ments are read and are appreci-
ated by members of the Sunday
Schools and Bible students.
Subsequently comments upon
the weekly topics of the Christian
Endeavor societies and also those
of the Epworth League were in
troduced. The query is, "Are
these found to be useful or do
the many special papers and
helps so abundantly furnished
the societies do away with the
necessity for these newspaper
comments?" If so, thespace can
probably be devoted to some
thing of more general interest.
Answers are desired. A postal
card will fill the bill.

Literature nnd Religion.

In vain do we search for true and
soul saving religion among the most
brilliant writer's of the day. In too
many cf them we encounter only bitter
hostility and unbelief. Therefore when
a prominent writer acknowledges the
superintending care of God in honest,
vigorous terms the Christian world is
surprised into thinking that he is on
the side tf truth, and especially when
he is at the same time one whose voice
is for l.rcsress and the development OF
the race upon natural lines. MIR. Kip.
