THE TOWN ELECTION

Mr. EDIToR:-We had an eleGtion on
Monday last wonder how many OF our
citizens cared anything about it, only
little more than one hundred votes cast.
Now, you gentlemen who loaf in grocery
stores, barber shops, street corners and
hotel porches, keep your wagging tongues
quiet for another year, if you did not
vote-and good many did not-you have
no right to grumble and growl over taxes
or anything else if you do not make any
effort to better conditions.
The RnCommissioners have rendered
a very satisfactory report, and they de-
serve a great credit for their wise and
careful management of the public moneys.
1t is right and proper that We should allow
them full credit for so doing. think they
have done remarkably well. "Well done.
good and faithful public servants" The
Board has now organized for another
years work, and there is work for them,
plenty of it. The first problem should be
how to reduce expenses, something done
in perfecting law in reference to dogs.
These questions no doubt will be thor
oughly considered by them. Gentlemen of
the Board, you have done well, "now do
better"
There is one thing that is noticeable
and has been for several years past, and
that is, that certain hotel keeper man
ages to have a ticket in the field, some
times openly, in the last election covertly.
l do not deny any man the right to vote
as he pleases, or try to get up ticket to
suit him, but will say, it is very bad
policy for the gentleman to try to run this
town according to his own sweet will.
For the sake of his business interest he
ought to keep entirely out Of politics, par
ticularly town politics, because there are
a great many people in this town and
county who.are not in sympathy with his
business, and any interference in our
town affairs will have only one result, to
create stronger antagonism and possible
remonstrances against his getting liceuses.
Such action by this party only iHtehsifes
the advocates Of local option in their ef-
forts and furnishes them with additional
argument A ticket concocted in bar
room is base born and should not receive
the support of any self-respecting man.
1 respectfully request that every citizen
see+.=a Ale =ararto Of the Town and LIGHT
and Water Commissioners and read them
carefully and note just what they contain.
In another article will have something
more to say aboat financial affairs, and
would Ike you to inform yourselves and
be ir position to know whether am
uajust or not-"Fair Play" take notice.

A STRIKE OF THRFARMERs

ga strike of farmers is the
latest problem which the con-
sumers of the country are to be
called upon to face. J. A. Ev-
erett, president of the American
Society of Equity, is the head
and front of this agrarian scheme,
which is said to have representa-
tives in 27O0 out of the 2800 conn
ties in the forty-five States of the
Union.
aThe strike was scheduled to
begin on Thursday last, but ad-
vices from indianapolis, the CEN
ter and headquarters of the move
ment, say that while it has not
actually begun the preliminaries
have been originated and are un-
der way. The object of the
American Society of Equity,
which is engineering this strike
of the farmers, is to advance the
price of the staple products of
agriculture and place the farmer
on an equal footing with other
bread-winners of the land.
I
"And why not ? If the coal
miner who warns and lights the
homes Of American millions, the
iron worker who contributes to
the greatness of railroad eorpor-
ations and municipal achieve
ments, the employees of agricul-
tural machinery works, and all
the other multiplied and varied
departments of labor can league
themselves in sympathy and de-
tendency and inaugurate strikes
for higher wages and better con-
ditions of labor, why should not
the farmer who feeds the world
demand the highest price for the
product of his fields, his orchards
and his stock barns, or in default
strike?
"It is all part of the irresisti-
BILE, onward movement, looking
to the advantage of the individ-
ual as well as of the class. Then,
too, the farmer in a manner is a
capitalist. On the same basis,
if the executive officer of a great
coal mining syndicate can afford
to yield to the demands of his en-
ployees for an increase of wages,
and, to make up for this expense,
increase the price Of his product
to the consumer, why should not
the farmer, who shoulders his
share of this burden, insist upon
an increased price for his pro-
duct, the usufruct Of his invested
capital?
"The,fact is the farmer is wax
ing up. He is beginning to ap-
preciate the fact that be holds
the key to the dough-tray of the
nation. He demands recognition,
and whether the present move
ment succeeds or falls fat it is
but the forerunner of things to
come. A farmers strike at the
present time may cause a smile |
of derision, but two decades
hence it may become a very ser.
ious and a very costly proposition.
The world is moving rapidly. |
The impossible or the improbable
of yesterday becomes the estab-
lished fact of to-day. If every
body else can strike why not the
far mer?"- Philadelphia Press

cruel to abuse dumb animals,

The proposition of Senator

to vote against him should resign
at once is not at all astonishing
when the source is considered
Had all that is now known of the
Senator's relations with his
friend Pierce been in possession
of the people prior to the prima-
ries this, Bailey's contention,
might have something in it, but
it so happened, and the fault lays
chiefly at the Senator's own
door, that the damaging testimO-
ny against him was unknown
then and to say now that his sins
should be overlooked merely be
cause he stands as a Democratic

JUMPED THE TRACK.

Trolley car No. 575 of the Public
Service traction company, took a no
ton to jump the track at Broadway
and John street shortly after 9
o'clock last night, and turned towards
John street as if heading for borough
hill. No cars could pass it, although
it seemed to have entirely cleared the
track, but having turned a distance
around it was very much in the way.
When near II o'clock men We're seen
getting ready to try TO SET it back on
the track. A number Of jokes pre-
vailed concerning it's having headed
towards the borough hall while the
council were in session, just as if it
was going there on business relating
the franchise, etc, Even parties
who had come into the borough from
out of town exclaimed, "Why. it's
headed for the borough hall" All
appeared to think it a huge joke.
