Ontting Down the Timber.

The fine tract of timber land at the
foot of McAuley Mountain which con-
stituted the famous Mountain Grove
Camp meeting grounds is now practi-
cally a thing of the past.
a saw mill owned and opo rated by
George Ortman of Derry township, is
installed on the spot and has very
nearly completed the work of clearing
the tract
The grove was one of the few fine
tracts of woodland remaining in that
section and it would probably have
disappeared long ago, had it not been
for the fact that it was selected as a
site for the camp meeting. There were
many sacred associations clustering
around the fine old trees and it Is in
deed much to be deplored that they
were not spared by the woodman 5

Will Not Rebuild All Bridges Asked For.

Members of the Board of Public
Buildings and Grounds are of the OPP
inion that all of the bridges that the
State is asked to rebuild by reason OF
the destruction of the original struct-
ure by floods and ice, will not be built.
In Susquehanna county recently the
commissioner asked the Dauphin COun-
ty Court to appoint viewers for a
bridge over the Susquehanna river be-
tween Great Bend and Halstead. The
viewers were appointed and waited
several weeks for the county commits
sioners to fix time wien they should
be on the spot and view the site tor
the new bridge. The commissioners,
however. abandoned their intention to
have the State erect bridge, and have
decided to patch up an old bridge
which has been doing public duty for
almost half a century. An effort Will
be made by the next Legislature to
amend the act compelling the State to
bare the entire cost of reConstructlng
bridges swept away by high water.

Legislative Landmarks.

Some OF the landmarks of historic
legislation created during President
Rooseyelt's administration are: (D The
law for the civil government OF the
Philippines: (2) corporate legislation,
chief OF which is that creating the
department OF commerce and labor,
with broad powers, which, in the ma
ture OF things, must steadily grow;
l3) Cuban reciprocity comforting ma
terial benefits on both Cuba and the
United States: l4l the treaty and laws
that make the Panama canal a GER
tainty; 90 the law for the irrigation
Of the arid lands of the great west.
Against these accomplished results
during one administration of the party
that does things the Democratic party
has nothing to offer but empty words
and high-sounding promises.

Two Judges with Political Pasts.

Democracy can always be depended
on to blunder. The nomination of
Judge Parker was blunder because
he received his early political training
from ID. Ii. Hill, one of the most no.
forlous wire-pullers and workers in
devious ways New York has produced.
The nomination Of D. Cady Herrick
for governor of New York also was a
blunder, because he was boss" of
the Democratic machine at Albany
before his election to the bench. The
Albany machine" has a reputation as
unenvlable as Tammany's.

AssAILING THE TARIFF
Democrats Seem Determined to Force o
Disturbing Issue.

DtStmfOtnE issue.
Signs increase that the Democratic
leaders are determined to force the
tariff issue to the front i'm the presi-
Dental campaign. While Republicans
Will welcome the discussion OF this
question, well knowing that II ~ sure
to add many thousands OF votes to
their maJorities. they cannot but re-
greet the selection Of the tariff as the
main issue, because of the unfortunate
influence 1t will have upon the bust
ness interests OF the country.
So far this year the presidential
campaign has not blocked business and
financial activity. Affairs proceed as
usual. In ali lines of business there
Is hopefulness and confidence which
ID most encouraging, But II the coun-
try Is to be confronted with another
visitation OF tariff revision agitation,
with even remote chance OF sue
cess In the election, there Is bound to
be q great slump In the industrial
world and a corresponding depression
In all business interests.
1t Is well remembered what hap
pened ten years ago. when. as Presi-
dent Roosevelt puts 1t, 1.-THE last at
tempt was made by means OF lower
ing the tariff to prevent such people
from prospecting too much" The at
tempt was entirely successful. The
tariff law OF that year was among the
causes which In that year and for
some time afterward effectually
prevented anybody from prospecting at
all. Undoubtedly 1t would be possible
at the present time to prevent any
Of the trusts from remaining prosper
GUS by the simple expedient Of max
ing such sweeping change In the
tariff as to paralyze the industries of
the country"
The people OF the United States
will not soon court again the destruc-
ton and panic of 1893. Once Is enough
for one generation. There will be
tremendous vote against tariff legisla-
ton by the Democrats.
The confidence OF the country may
stand even throughout a tariff revision
campaign, but 1t IL risking q good
deal to raise that issue In the manner
contemplated. They. however. have
everything to gain and nothing to
lose. They must have something
to stand upon, and complete failure
inevery other attack made upon
the Republican position has driven
them upon the tariff as standing out
post of Republicanism which can al
ways be assailed, when nothing else az
fords convenient target.

Is ProtectiOn "Rehhery.,,

The Democratic assertion that ''pro-
lection Is robbery; that the tariff liz
tax on the American consumer, is
best refuted by examining the effect OF
protection on the tin-plate industry.
When the Mckinley bill was passed
nine-tenths of all the tin used In this
country was manufactured abroad. To-
day the manufacture of tin is one
OF the most important Of our home In
dnstries, contributing millions of dol
lars annually to our national wealth.
But this 10 the least part of the story,
in SO far as the tariff Ia concerned
the price Of tin began to 20 down In
proportion as the United States began
to produce 1t, and the American con-
sumner has never paid under the Nc
kinley tin tariff anywhere near as
much per pound for tin plate as he
paid when tin was on the free list.
