HAS LEAKED OUT.

1t is considered curious that such q
railway project should he kept for so
long time carefully concealed from the
public and the vigilant eyes of the Penn
sylvania railroad people, but such is the
case. 1t is predicted that a glorious fu-
ture awaits the town of Punxsutawney.
1t is rapidly becoming fsilroad centre.
The Beach Creek has purchased the
Pittsburg & Eastern, which iuns from
Mahaffey to Glen Campbell. This sum-
mer 1t will be extended distance Of IL
miles into Punxsutawney. When the
hew road is built tho town will be tapped
by the b. r. & p, The Pennsylvania,
New York Central and shoit line to
tidewater. Probably the most difficult
part of the project will be to build the
road from Black Lick to Pittsburg. En-
trance into the Smokey City," as other
railroads have found out, is most diff
cult, but the B. & o. is expected to be
the open sesame. The New York capi-
talists are attracted by the enormous
tonnage of Pittsburg, and as they say in
the slang of the streets, 'they want a
piece of it," The other railroads will
make them fight for it, but all additions
to the railway facilities will greatly ben
eft the city. Important Developments
are expected soon, and tn fight for right
of way, especially in Punxsutawney,w will
be of the vigorous injunction kind.

Mr.. SIBLEY in defending Secretary
Gage against the attac of Mr.. Sulzer in
Congress said he had read the answer of
Secretary Gage to the House resolution
and he considered it a full, free and frank
statement, which completely justified
each and every transaction. A conflagra-
ton had started in New York, he said,
and required courage and will to stop the
panic before it had extended itself. "I
had rather see the country prosper" said
he, "than to see my party succeed" The
best Republican in the country cannot
complain of the manner in which our
Congressman is standing by the adminis-
tration. The administration suits the
people and the country is prosperous
features that all who are attempted to ally
themselves in opposition will take note
of.-Rdne Republican.

THE time has come, said ex-Minster
Barrett in an address on the Philippine
situation before the Union League Club
Of Chicago, when the country must take
either the opinions of actual observers
such as Dewey, Schurman, Beveridge,
= Dandy and the late General Lawton, or
men who have watched events from a
distance of 10000 miles. "Are we 10 ac-
cept," he asked, ''the opinions Of Colonel
Bryan, OF Nebraska, or those of Colonel
Stotsenburg, who fell leading his men on
the battle field? Col. Bryan says that we
provoked the conflict, and are solely re-
sponsible for it. Col. Stotsenburg, in
command of Nebraska regiment sta
toned at that point of the line around
Manila where the first fighting of the in
surrection began, went on record that
the Filipinos provoked the outbreak af-
ter he and other officers had done all in
their power TO prevent it," And Mr..

character and who has been in the Phil

DEMOCRATIC leaders are wondering
what will happen next The effect of Mr..
Bryau's premature stand on the expan-
sion question, from which he is now try
ing to beat a retreat, is causing havoc
among Democrats who do not know how
they themselves or oven their leaders
stand upon public questions. Mr.. Bryan
has thus far made no declaration side
tracking silver, though most Of his polit-
ical .iscussions are devoted to other top
les. Silver, it is claimed will not be put
to the rear, but rather other issues
brought formost. The distinction is
trifle hazy even to the minds of the
faithful.

THAT old free trade argument that our
foreign commerce cannot flourish under
protection will hardly go any longer in
view of the announcement just made thet
exports from the United States have in
creased from s497 900, 900 TO 81, ,293, ,OC 900,
while those from the United Kingdom
were increasing from sl,OS7, ,OOO, 900 to
81, ,2s7 900, 900. This is the work of the
quarter ofa century between 1875 and
1899, during all of which time the United
Kingdom has had free trade, while the
United States has practically all the time
had protection.

DEMOCRATIC newspaper and statesmen
who are scolding about Secretary Cages
course in depositing public money in
banks are emitting to say word about
the fact that this course was followed un-
der Democratic administration and that
they had no occasion to find fault with it
then. OF course their attack is merely a
political one and for political purpose.
If the Secretary were to carry out theii
plan, he would be compelled to pile up
in the treasury the surplus which the
successful revenue law is now bringing
in, thus reducing the amount of money
in circulation, for all of which, of course,
he would again subject himself to the
criticism Of people whose sole occups-
tion it is to find lanlt with the Admins
tration.
