RailrOaders Fear Car Famine.

Despite the fact that a large
number of new freight cars have
been delivered to the railroads dur
ing the past year, another shortage
Of freight equipment is expected to
take place this fall. Following a
series of meetings held recently it
was announced by the railroads that
they were in fairly good shape to
handle traffic that is expected this
fall and winter. Before taking final
action in awarding contracts for
new equipment for 1908 delivery,
the Pennsylvania and several of the
other large railroads sent special
agents 70 the large shippers to see
what the prospects were for the
next year. They were informed
that the spring business for 1905
would be unusually heavy, and il
is now feared that a car shortage
will take place.

HARTMAN AND SAFETY.

Mr. Sheatz was nominated for
State Treasurer by the men who
have for a generation used the
Treasury for political purposes.
They nominated him because he
had a better reputation than some
other members of the Organization,
and it was necessary to conciliate
the good will of the decent people.
But he would not have been nomi-
mated if he had not been a loyal
member of the Organization, and a
man OF whom the party bosses en-
tertained no fears. He was put up
to help the Organization recover its
estige and its control of the State
Ids.
Two years ago the people defeat
the Republican candidate be-
use the Enterprise Bank disclos-
les showed what the Organization
was doing with the State funds.
The present Organization is exactly
the same as the one of two years
ago; there are the same men and
the same methods and the same
purposes. If there were reason for
defeating the Organization then
there is just as much reason now.
There is very much more, be-
cause since the Enterprise Bank
collapsed and Plummer was defeat
ed we have had the gigantic steal
ing in the Capitol construction laid
bare. The Organization has been
shown to be much worse than it
was supposed to be, at least by Re-
publicans. The Capitol disclosures
afford two convincing reasons for
the defeat of the Organization.
One is that the conduct of Republi-
can State Treasurers proves that
the safety and good management
of the public funds demands that
they should be in the custody of
man who is not the beneficiary of,
or on good terms with, the Repub-
lican Organization. Pennsylvania
taxpayers need a watchdog of the
Treasury, and no man picked out
by the Organization will do the
work of one. In the second place,
the prosecution of the Capitol
thieves will depend in great meas
ure upon the demand of the people.
The election of Harman will be a
mandate for their relentless prose-
cution, and the Republican party
will not dare to disobey the man
date. The victory of the Organiza-
tion will be accepted by the party
leaders as a condonation of the f.
nancial sins Of the party, and there
will be no effective pursuit of the
grafters. -PHka. Ree0ra.

NO TREATING.
Candidates Cannot Set Up Drinks and
Smokes.

Commenting on the decision of
Judge Walling, OF Erie county, in
regard to the corrupt practices act,
the Pottsville miners ./0n,ual says:
THE court in Erie county has rul-
ed that the giving of cigars or buy
ing of drinks by the candidate or
his representatives for campaign
purposes is violating the corrupt
practices act. This sweeping opin-
ion was handed down in a case
against the mayor Of Eric, who, it
is claimed, is serving in that Office
illegally. Steps are under way to
have him ousted from Office, be-
cause, among other alleged acts is
the charge that he treated voters to
cigars and beer. The termination
of this case will be watched with
much interest because of its bearing
upon the corrupt practices act. The
decision that the money spent for
cigars and drink was clearly illegal,
may have the effect of candidates
for Office and their friends to exer-
else greater care in conforming to
the provisions Of the corrupt prac-
tees act.'

During this week the North Car
olina rate case has been going on in
Washington before special master
who has been taking testimony. It
has not been a particularly inter
esting hearing from a public stand
point, involving the cost Of railroad
operating and the difference between
interstate and intrastate expenses.
But one interesting matter flashed
up in the course of a wrangle be-
tween counsel. EX-Representative
Woodward, who is attorney for the
state, declared that the Southern
railroad had kept a special man
here i'll Washington to lobby for it
all through the sessions of Con-
gress, and has paid him a regular
salary Of $4,000 a year. Capt
Thom, counsel for the railroad, de-
clared loudly that this was a SLAM
der and dehed Mr.. Woodward to
prove it, This brought almost an
audible laugh from all the old tim
ers and especially from the newspa-
per men who attended the hearing

 Bishop Clcim.

A new phase has come into the Crown street extension matter and it is now stated that because of the legal tangles and charter provision which are annoying, the request will be made to Judge Gager in the superior court on Friday to appoint commit tee to hear the matter
 Without an appeal this court com mittee could decide the matter in a week. As the matter now stands, it looks as though it would drag through the courts for many months at the least if this committee is not ap- pointed.

LORD SCORES
Rowland HARD
Wants Pub. Works Dept,
Cleaned Out
Complete


Coast yesterday on the Siberia in con-
nection with a dredging contract, re-
lieved his mind somewhat on local
r1atters connected with the Public
Works Department. He Is quoted as
'aying, In language not to he mlsun-
derstood, that there would be no work
performed by his company under the
contract in question until the Depart
ment of Public Works had been
cleaned out from top to bottom"
That Holloway was to resign on
November and In such an event the
two Howlands would go with him
caused Mr.. Lord to express himself as
being satisfied that work or a public
nature would move along in way It
should go thereafter.
Lord explained the situation further
by stating that Superintendent Hol-
loway was man of good personal
judgment but that he had let How'll I'd
,un things regardless, and to sucl rI
extent that no contractor had thus lar
been able to get along with him. Nl.
ord Is quoted as making the s,uir.
r1ent that Rowland is a man wu1
knows nothing of what he undertake
to oversee and makes up for his ignoG-
ance with his ofIlciousness.
Mr.. Lord further says:
'As soon as return from Colnt p.
bus. Ohio, | am going to start pH1-
ceedings against the Government iHs
payment for the work I did on lh.
contract for laying the bar-lock pin.
20 the Nuuanu reservoir. On that eIH-
tract have done nothing since about
the first of May. and | don't intend ty
do anything until get my money Tor
what | have done. The time limf OF
that contract expired some time last
July. II I am so much In the wruu-
over 1t as the department tries 10
make out, why don't they try to cancel
the contract"
There are $500 still owing Lord on
tSe pipe-laying contract, and that
gentleman Is very emphatic In his |
statement that that amount must be
paid before he will proceed any fur.
tier with the work.
Continuing, Lord is reported to
bave said:
When | had done considerable |
smount of the work had the Govern |
rnent engineer go over 1t and he put |
IN an estimate that I had completed |
rs per cent of the total contract. On
that basis ! applied for payment, the
contract being that was to be paid
up to 30 per cent Of the value of what
I had done. This estimate went to
Rowland. Without consulting his en-
gineer or anything else but his
caprice, he struck out the figures 65
and substituted the figures so, thus
knocking me out of considerable
amount Of the money due me-
I'm addition to this were other mat
tiers which cropped up. and | quit work
and will stay quit until either the de-
partment will do things on a common
sense and fair basis or the department
Is cleaned out and common sense and
fair men are put in charge"
Mr.. Lord tdid Of many other feat
ares Of the contract that had been
twisted out of shape by the whims OF
Rowland, and that he would stand for
no more such bungling.
Mr.. Lord says that he will return
In about six weeks, and expressed a
desire that things may be Strengthened
by that time.
