INTO BROAD STREET.

The Pennsylvania railroad has refus-
ed the latest request Of the trades or
yanisations, and il the present DISPOSE
tlon holds. passengers on the through
trains win still be obliged to aiight in
Nest Philadelphia and make their way
70 the center Of the city on foot or by
iome conveyance other than the trains.
The demand Of these organizations
reems reasonable They do not ask
hat all trains shall run into Broad
Street station. but they do insist that
when passengers are required to alight
Il the West Philadelphia station they
hall be taken 70 Broad street by an
other train. This seems reasonable.
md We fail to see why the company re-
uses 10 grant the request that repre-
ents the sentiments OF many thou
ands Of patrons.

England has followed the other Eu-
ropean nations in recognizing Panama
and about the only nation that still
holds out is Colombia. 1t is concededly
impossible for the Democrats to bind
their senators by caucus. as it now APP
pears that at least five win support
the measure. Senator Clay Of Georgia
is quoted as saying that it would be
disastrous to make a party measure
out Of so important a matter and inti-
mates that he win vote to ratify the
treaty.

According to a story IN our morning
)ntemporary a Wilmington man who
lvested his money with a company of
oolumakers has as a result lost fifty
ollars and gained considerable expe-
ence. There are always persons ready
, invest the savings Of others, and a
romise Of dividends is easy to make.
lere is a safe rule, however, to fol-

PHILAoELPAlA's POPULATION.

According TO the recent assessments
the population Of Philadelphia is in
creasing at most remarkable rate.
The increase in the number Of voters
for the year just passed is l6,1sl. which
az the usual rate OF estimate makes an
increase in population Of sO,9o5. II this
continues. Philadelphia win soon be at
the head Of the column, leaving both
New York and Chicago FAR behind.
Doubtless the assessors have been
over-zealous. remembering the close
vote in our neighboring city. But we
win guarantee that they have been
thoroughly impartial, putting down the
names of the dead and Of those who
have removed TO other cities. The right
OF free ballot in Philadelphia is SO sa-
cred that nobody who can walk to the
polls is denied, providing Of course, he
votes for the machine.

Commission Bill Asked For.

At mass meeting held at the court
house Saturday evening the following
resolution was unanimously adopted:
Be it resolved by the citizens of Adams
county in convention assembled that ir-
respective of party we feel that the most
important matter before the legislature
of this state at the present time is the
passage of the bill establishing railway
commission and that we feel that all
matters should be regarded as secondary
to the passage of such bill. And be it
further resolved that in our opinion the
best and only way to bring about the
passage of such measure is for the var
ious representatives to join with the
other members of the House and Senate
in agreeing not to caucus for the election
of Senator until that bill is assured of
passage through both the House and
Senate. and we feel it is the duty of our
representative, Mr.. Bassett. to sign the
anti-caucus agreement being circulated
by the Commission forces.
Resolved, further, that two citizens be
elected from this meeting to at once
carry this resolution to Mr.. Bassett and
present this resolution in person to him
and urge him to take up the fight for the
passage of the railway commission bill.
John F. Irby. chairman Of the Repub-
lican county central committee, accom-
panied by w. w. Gent, the attorney. left
Monday for Olympia to take the matter
up with the legislator from Adams coun-
ty.
A wire from them today states that
Mr.. Bassett spurned all their overtures
and absolutely refused to change his
course.

THE RURAL TELEPHONE.

Neighborhood not far from here,
Put in telephone last year;
Farmers built rural line,
Instruments all talked UP" fine.
All you had TO do was ring;
Every bell went ting ling;
One for Swanson, two for Eoggs,
Long and Short call for Scroggs.-
Every neighbor had his call,
Twist the crank and that was all.
Mighty nice when work was through
To gossip for an hour or two
With your friends, one by one;
Mighty nice but lots of fun
To hear some other two
Telling what was not for you.
Every time the signal rang,
To tie phone each farmer sprang,
Slyly giinned and quietly took
The receiver from the hook,
Other peoples secrets dear
Poured into his big red car;
Slapped his legs and said, If swan.
Telephonin's lots of fun"
Somehow, in week or two,
Troubles began 10 brew.
Farmer Jones got fighting hot;
Heard ScroEgs call him sot,
Farmer Scroggs seemed angry, too;
Heard Smith telling what lie knew.
Smith heard Johnson telling lies;
Paid him off with two black eyes.
johnson heard young Isaac Boggs
Underbid him on his hogs.
Boggs o'crhcard sncaaing chiyl
Make love with his best girl.
Women. too, were in the mus,
Raised a most Tremendous fuss,
Everyone IRON scroggs TO Jones
In glass houses throwing stones
Now the line has silent grown,
Wires rusted. poles o'crthrown;
Twenty friends were deadly foes,
Each one full Of grief AMI woes:
Each too mad to speak Il word.
Cause OF things they'd overheard.
