MR.. MANLEY'S FORECAST.

|THE old adage,-that a Prophet
is not without honor save in his
a own country, is not verified in
the case of the Hon. Joseph II.
Manley. Of Maine whose reputation as
Il political forecaster, has long extended
beyond the limits of his own State. His
National Committee, and his extensive
acquaintance with public men through
out the country, afford him facilities for
information possessed by few men. For
these reasons his political forecasts, at
tract more attention than those of the
average political prophet and have in the
past come closer to actual results than
those of others.
While his recent prediction, that tho
Republican majority in the next House
of Representatives will be thirty eight,
may be accepted seriously, yet it is ac-
companied by an apparently paradoxical
statement, that somewhat detracts from
its value, as a well considered expression
of his judgment as an expert in political
guess" work.
while the Republicans says Mr.
Manly, "will make strenuous fight in
every district where they have any show
whatever, still it must be admitted, that
it will be far better, for the Republican
Party in the Presidential contest of
1904, if it should lose the present House
of Representatives"
Why. if it is apparent, that the Re
publicans would be benefited by the loss
of the next lower House Of Congress,
| should they be making II strenuous fight
to carry every district where they have
any show whatever?
Senator Vest thinks, that the Demo-
Gratis are "better without" majority in
the next House, because both the Presi-
dent and the Senate being against them,
they could accomplish nothing in the line
of National Legislation. They might OBJ
struct, but could not effect legislation.
On the other hand, very many reasons

Public Sales.

Every farmer having public sale Of
stock should look carefully after adver-
Using it-scc that the public at large
knows he is going to dispose of such
stock, machinery, etc. Look around
and you will find that the Cecil Wing"
is read at every hand in Cecil county
and naturally the farmers consult its
columns for these sales. Send your ad-
vertiscments to the Cecil Wing" and
get the benefit of its wide circulation
The rates are low. And in the way Of
printing your hand bills-see if we can
not save you money.

COAL OIL ADVANCED IN PRICE.

J" HE cupidity of the Trusts" i'll
preying upon the people, finds
Il fresh illustration in the ad
vance this week in the price of
coal oil. One year ago the price was
seven and half cents per gallon, now it
is eight and a half cents with the pros
pect of another advance to nine cents.
These quotations are the wholesale
figures, which will compel the retailers of
coal oil to charge domestic consumers a
proportionate advance.
Small an increase in price. as one-haf
cent a gallon may seem, yet it means
additional millions Of dollars accumul
ated from the public in the Treasury of
the Standard Oil Company.
What existing condition justifes this
advance?
None in the world. except the inab-
iity of domestic consumers to secure
their accustomed fuel-anthracite coal
the demand for which is abnormally in
creased, the Oil Trust being quick to
take advantage of this increased demand
The Trust justfes itself in this un-
righteous act by declaring that trade con-
ditions 'rcquire it,
The pretcxt is as peurilc as it is I'M
true.
No trade condition affecting the Stand
ard Oil Company warrants it.
Its profits a year ago were stupendous,
who can compute them, at the increased
charge put upon the people?
Called by its proper name, this adj
vance in the price of Il domestic neces-
xity of the people, is an unrighteous ex-
tortion, an unmitigated robbery, n cow
ardly imposition upon the suffering poor,
against which they should be protected
by the Strong Arm Of the Law in every
State of the Union.

THE STRIKE SITUATION.

4 II THE White House Conference
n in Washington, last week the
Il n mine owners, while arrogantly
parading before the President,
still assured him. that if given adequate
projections, they could Immediately re-
sumo mining operations and relieve the
coal famine
Since that conference, the military au-
thoriticS of Pennsylvania. consisting Of
ten thousand officers and men. have been
placed throughout the ten coal producing
counties of that State.
In addition to this protection, Prcsi-
dent Mitchell has appealed to the miners
to pat down riot and disorder, and with
this powerful adjunct. by every rule Of
reason, the coal strike should cease.
If the operators will make no conccs-
sion to the miners. and the latter refuse
to resume work. the former have the OPP
portunity under ample military protec-
ton, to redeem their word given the
President. and open the mines with other
worsmcn.
If it appears they cannot do this. then
they must confess their defeat, and the
public will demand such concessions
from them, as will secure immediate re-
sumption Of work ut the mines.
Ibn huS,
people will no longer brook delay.
