The Importance OF the coming spring
election is commented upon by an ex-
change in the following manner: Have
you been thinking OF candidates for
Spring election? This is subject that
should interest every good citizen. The
officers of town council and school di-
rectors lie very close to your pocket
books and you want the best men Of the
town tofll these positions and manage
our borough and school affairs. Have
you stopped to think that these men han
die three-fourths of all the money you
pay in taxes, including what the bor-
ough receives from licenses and school
appropriations?

Wire nails have very nearly super
seded the cut variety, and in their man
ufacture the United States takes the
lead, exporting them to almost every
country in the world. During the five
years from 1892 to 1897 the production
of cut nails fell from 100000, 900 pounds
to 2l,000,00O; during the same period the
production of wire nails rose from AL
100000 to nearly 900,000,000 pounds.
The price of nails in the meantime has
been reduced from ten cents per pound
in 1888 to two cents and under in 1898.

Marietta daily leader. (Marietta, Ohio) 1895-1906, 1899-11-25
SATURDAY. NOV. 25, 1899.

The all-absorbing question now
with Mariettlans is, Shall we give up
Butler street from Fourth to Fifth to
the railroads for switching purposes?
It's an unfortunate situation that
the railroads are cramped into such a
short space as they are at present, and
it would seem to be an advisable
thing to suggest that they betake
themselves to the suburbs where land
is in plenty and the fussy work of drill
ing trains may be done where the pub
lie in general will be the least incom-
moded thereby; but there are in op-
position TO such an idea number of
drawbacks. Permanent improvements
are now in place, and a certain limited
piece OF ground which is of the rail-
roads own making Is pretty thor
oughly filled with their necessary
tracks for a constantly increasing bus
mess. To move these tracks to an
other part Of town more remote is to
render useless much of the railroads
improvements so far as they them
selves are concerned. The present fill
ing which they are doing, and the
building of the big culvert would not
have been to their advantage did they
not expect to remain and enjoy the use
of the property above it.
AS to the extension-it will add very
little to the length of their switching
capacity, but If have 1t they must, it
being the end of the switch it would
have the least traffic upon it; and we
think would not be as detrimental to
comfort as might be imagined at he
first blush
The drawbacks to the extension, to
our notion, are these: The trains in
switching will block for greater or
less length of time an important street
Fourth. Their movement will SER
iously interfere with work at the OBJ
servatory, and there will be more or
less disturbance of the conduct of
school duties at the College. The i'm
mediate neighbors about Fourth and
Butler will be more or less disturbed
All these things should be considered
and the comfort and happiness of
those concerned should be conscient-
iously dealt with.
1t is a knotty problem to solve-the
yards must be expanded. How?
There's a word we want to say for
Marietta and we think more of her
than of any of her welcome accessories
to her greatness, and that is, if this
street is given up can't we get nearer
the heart of the B. & o. s. w. and Sc
cure better trains between Marietta
and Parkersburg, and more of them?

The Keystone State which left Gin

water to allow her to get through, but
the large amount of through freight
that she is handling and the dense fog
which now prevails have greatly i'm

Still Without An Issue.

AS might have been expected the
emocratic conference at Chicago
finds party affairs in. badly tangled
condition. All the off-year elections
are over and no sign of the longedfor
reaction" has appeared. The few al
legged crumbs of Democratic comfort
look much like additional discourage
ments. Bryan held Nebraska by the
majority of 1896, a result due to his
prominence as a candidate. This prob
ably insures his denomination, and not
a few Democrats who voted for him
three years ago are sorry to know it,
Maryland went Democratic, but only
through profound silence ON the Chic
ago platform. Some Of the Democratic
papers rejoice because Ohio gave a
Republican plurality of only $4,000 in
stead of majority. But the Ohio
Democrats can't come within 100000
of a majority. The consolation deriy-
ed in that state may be regarded as
humorous. On the other hand, Ken
lucky went Republican and is lost to
Bryan through his stumping for Goe-
bel. Republican gains occurred in
New York and Iowa, while South Da-
kota swung over to the Republican
side, hitting anti-expansion a tremen-
dous blow.
At best the Democratic leaders are
in a quandary, though they try to put
a good face on the matter. They are
in a thorny chaparral and at a loss to
know how to cut their way out. They
are beaten with Bryan and beaten
without him. Free coinage Is a dead
proposition Expansion is no longer
an issue. 1t is an accomplished fact,
with its military yindication near at
hand. Opposition to trusts can not be
made a Democratic speciality. Re-
publican congress is about to meet
and can iegislate on the subject to the
extent required. Should the Demo-
Gratis drop Bryan they would lose the
few transmississippi states that re-
main to them and their Populist allies
everywhere. BY retaining him they
can obtain but third or fourth OF the
electoral votes. Possibly the Demo-
cratic managers can get up some sur
prise within the next six months, but
the Chicago meeting serves to show
that they are befogged and in a funer-
cal frame OF mind.-Globe Democrat

Is. G. o. .. W.. began their present fill
At this time all chat property from the
Ward-Nichols block, on Second street,
to Kelly's carriage factory, or what
was recently sor,- by Mr.. Kelly, was
substantially vacant lot property and
of very little value. 1t stands today on
the duplicate for taxation at merely
nominal figures The city seized the
occasion of Mr. Dale's filling opera
Ions to get low prices for filling and
had Second street brought to grade.
Inc other day piece of property right
in the middle of that low ground of
ten years ago, which was rented by the
city at one Ame for a stone pile yard,
If the city would pay the taxes, this
same lot sold at S125.0O per front foot.
| mention this to show what one rail
road man has done for Marietta. 1t
will not do now to turn on Dale and
the scheme he advocates and discredlt
al railroad enterprises and forget the
short span of a decade and what these
reads have done for the city. Besides
that, we are still expecting favors
from all these roads. We must work
together in building up the business
interests of Marietta. We cannot af-
ford 20 deny a reasonable request. A
refusal to grant the present request
means that we may still have to en-
dure the nuisance of switching across
Front street and lose the chance of
getting the track removed from Sec
ond street, as now proposed.
We still expect favors from the
railroads, as we just said, and Marietta
will build a monument to the man
who will give us a railroad up the
Ohio on this side and place Marietta
on a trunk line, as was promised us
over forty years ago.
