EVERYTHING that tends to cut down
the trade of the merchant depresses
rents, injuries investments and general
ly holds back your town, says the De-
post Courier. 1t may not come to you
right of. but such an alien policy will be
felt bv everybody in the end. The busi-
ness man pays his taxes, buys his goods,
employs his statesmen and pays his rent.
He deserves to be patronized. He is
doing more than his share of keeping
the town going and helping it along. If
he does not keep in stock the article you
want he can get it more cheaply than
you can, because he knows where to
buy, how to order and me gets the dis
count given the trade. If you are the
owner of houses, if YOU have vacant
lot waiting to be built upon, ii you own
land around the town which you hope
one day to see valuable, if You own busi-
ness houses which YOU want to see filled
with enterprising and successful merch-
ants, then you will discourage this mar
row policy of shopping away from home.
1t ignores the men you want to prosper,
whom it is to your interest to help.

propriety of Memorial Day obser-
vances. the exercises at the soldiers

A court decision of wide interest was
handed down by Judge Woods, at Bed
ford, few days ago, in which it is held
that where township has adopted the
cash roads system, it cannot return
again to the work-tax system. The
voters of Bedford township at an cleo
ton held year or two ago declared in
favor of the cash tax system, and after
trial it was again submitted TO a vote of
the qualified electors, when the majority
OF them favored return to the old sys
tenn. This, Judge Wood holds, they
had no right to do, and he has set aside
the election.

GLAMOUR OF PATERNALISNi.

In his heart of hearts the average
American believes in his country
and it's institutions and has faith
that it will successfully work out
it's great political, industrial and
social problems in ways that are in
harmony with individual liberty
and a democratic form of govern
ment. But that does not prevent
an occasional hankering after the
fieshpots of the Egypt of paternal
government, whether it is frankly
monarchical or nominally republi-
can. We are prone to forget that
such a government is a very close
corporation and one that is apt to
be arbitrary in it's methods and
since it controls the courts, less
amenable to public sentiment than
were the private corporations it
supplanted. And that forgetfulness
makes us an easy mark for con-
scienceless writers who find it prof
liable to attack our institutions and
industries by writing up the ad-
vantages of public ownership in
other lands, while preserving a dis
Greet silence as to it's disadvantages.

BUFFALO BILL" Cody has come in
to his own again. In Philadelphia on
Wednesday of last week, he and "Paw-
nee Bill" otherwise known as Major
Gordon w. Lille, purchased the inter-
est in the estate of James A. Bailey in
what is now known as Buffalo Bills
Wild West and Pawnee Bills Far East"
The price was not made public, but the
transaction marked, in sense, pros
porous advance in the fortune of Buffa-
10 Bill, while at the same time sigma
lizing the withdrawal of the once famous
name of Bailey from the show business.
Once upon time Colonel Cody sold
share in his Wild West show to the
Bailey estate, which retained that inter-
est until last week. In the meantime
he and Major Lille got together and
decided that it would be mutually prof.
table, if they became allies instead of
rivals, although there were marked DIFF
ferences in the nature of their produc-
tons. But it was always Colonel Cody's
ambition to re-acquire the Bailey inter-
est. This was not so easy to do while
James A. Bailey, one of the shrewdest
and most experienced of circus men,
was alive, but since his death his widow,
who was his sole legatee, displayed a
willingness to take the name out of the
arena, and so Major Lille has become
with Col. Cody the owners of the prop
erty. "Pawnee Bill" has made several
visits to Honesdale with his Wild West
show, and both he and his wife, the
noted expert with the rifle, have many
personal friends here who will be pleas
ed to hear of this evidence OF their pros
perity.

GRAND ARMY DAY IN SCHOOL.

A delegation of Captain Ham Post
visited the High School on Friday, Nav
2Sth, and entertained the scholars with
some recitals of their experiences during
the Civil War. The delegation con-
sisted of Commander Henry Wilson,
Comrades Graham Watts, Edward Cook,
Samuel Found and w. W. Wood. Com
mander Wilson gave a very instructive
talk on the flags used by the different
army corps, having upon a large sheet
the corps, division and brigade flags of
the Sd Army Corps of the Union Army,
also the flags used by the Confederates
Comrade Watts gave avery vivid descrip-
ton OF the battle at Monocacv. at which
place the Second Division of the Sixth
Army Corps stopped the victorious raid
of the rebel army on their way to cap
ture Washington, the Capitol of the Ma
ton, long enough to permit the arrival
OF the balance of the Sixth Corps, when
the Confederates retreated. Comrade
Cook gave very interesting account of
his adventures as a dispatch carrier for
General Sheridan and other command
ing officers. Comrade Wood spoke
briefly of some of the humorous episodes
that took place on the march and in
camp. The scholars sang some patriotic
songs in manner that showed they
were enthusiastically patriotic.

\ DISTINCT earthquake shock was felt
throughout the northern part of Illinois
on Tuesday of last week. The motion
was from north to south and lasted one
half minute. The quake was reported
especially noticeable in and about Elgin,
Illinois, and as far west as Davenport,
Iowa. The shock was distinctly felt in
the office of the local weather bureau in
the dome of the federal building and at
the following cities near Chicago: La
mont, Joliet, Lockport, Riverdale, Or
land, Downer's Grove, Napierville, Pc
oria, Evanston, Kewanee, and at Beloit
and GAINESVILLE, Wisconsin. No one wat
killed or injured, nor did the early re-
ports show any save minor damage,
such as the breaking of dishes and china
or porcelain ornaments thrown from
mantels. The delicate instruments OF
the weather bureau were not disarranged
1t is said the shock was not felt at the
street level, but was noted at the second
and higher floors of buildings.

TEA SHOULD NOT BE TAXED.

Renewed efforts to levy duty on
tea should fail. 1t would not be a
duty demanded for protection, but
direct tax. Furthermore, it
would be burden which the poor
man and his family would have to
shoulder. 1t would not he felt by
the rich. On the other hand, it
would be seriously felt by the Ia
borer. In England where there
are no protective duties, but where
taxes are levied for the express pur-
pose of raising revenue, tea pays
heavily. 1t has not been the policy
of the Republican party in this
country to levy duties upon i'm
ported products that are classed
among the essentials of life where
that duty has no excuse other than
that of revenue producer, and it
is altogether too late in the day to
change that policy.
1t is true that experiments at tea
raising have been made in the
United States. For quarter Of a
century some has been grown, with
government assistance, in the Caro-
linas but the average has been only
about 10000 pounds, whereas the
consumption of tea annually in this
country amounts to 100, 900
pounds. If the time comes when
it is found that tea can be grown
here on a large scale, then, indeed,
we might talk about protection.
But that time is not yet, nor is it
in sight. A tax on tea, therefore,
would now become direct tax,
with no countervailing advantage.
1t is tax that the man of means
could stand we'll enough, but ten
cents added to a pound would cut
into the wages of the laborer in a
decidedly serious manner. Tea has
become necessity to a very great
proportion of the population. The
woman who bends over a sewing
machine, turning out clothing for
manufacturers, keeps the machinery
of life going on tea. Through the
congested districts of every city,
where work is done by the piece in
the home, the teapot is always pres
ent. The tea that countless thous-
ands of the poor drink is sold at re-
tail from 25 to 35 cents per pound
All that any member of Congress
has to do to ascertain that fact for
himself is to ask any grocer who
deals considerably in teas. If five
cents or ten cents were levied as a
duty upon that tea, the cost to the
consumer would be that much more.
BY the time the retailer distributes
these low priced teas the margin of
profit is not great, and the retailer
is not going to stand for the loss of
whatever profit he now reaps. The
consumer would be forced to pay
the tax.
There is no tea trust for Congress
to consider. Four hundred thous-
and retailers handle the business.
Congress will do we'll to let tea
strictly alone.

IT is said that the gypsy taxation bill,
which the Governor of this State signed
few days ago, is intended to rid the
State OF this pestiferous class of nomads,
rather than as a revenue measure. 1t
provides tax OF $50 in every county in
which band OF gypsies may temporarily
locate, besides fee of fifty cents to the
County Treasurer for issuing the license.
The licenses hold good for one year only,
and if band is found without license
every member of the party may be fined
from $50 to 500, or sent to Jail for thirty
days.

THE Williamsport lumber boom, on
the West Branch OF the Susquehanna
which will be dismantled when the -
600, 900 feet of logs it now contains are
RATED out, has had wonderful business
history. Since 1862, the first year for
which the boom records are available,
there have been RATED out of the boom
total of 80, ,909, ,5ll logs, totaling 7,l2S,-
66l l04 feet board measure. This does
not include the 100000 feet approXi-
mately, now in the boom, which makes
a grand total of 1,l33 ,66l l04 feet. Es-
timating the value OF the lumber at
$40 per thousand feet, which is said to
be fair average, il shows that as a
direct result of the West Branch boom
more than $40, 600, 600 went to Williams
port, or ten times the present total as
sessed value of the CITY. The banner
year in the history of the boom was 1873,
when it held total of 3lS, ,3i2,7 ZIP feet.
In only one other vear-lSS2-did it eX-
ceed 800, 200, 900 feet, the total that year
being BOB, ,S69, ,S3S.

such law is to be enforced. He gen.

THERE is now in force new cocaine
act which should help in the effort of
authorities to stamp out the cocaine
evil. This bill which went through the
legislature without opposition provides
that sales of cocaine can only be made
by prescription and that physicians,
dentists or veterinarians shall not give
prescriptions to habitua users. Re-
strictions are placed upon wholesalers
who must furnish reports of sales while
retailers are required TO keep record
of sales. The penalty is a fine OF not
more than $500 or Imprisonment of not
more than two years or both. Where
the law strikes at the illegal traffic is by
y provision that any person not auth
orzed to handle the drug being found
in possession of it except on prescrip-
ton shall be liable to fine OF not more
than 800 or six months imprisonment or
both. This is aimed at the walking dis
pensers of the drugin cities, the men who
buy from druggists and sell indiscrimin-
ately to the unfortunatcs in the clutches
OF the drug. The act does not apply to
laudanum and other poisons. which
are under a general act.

THE HUSTLING BELL
TELEPHONE COMPANY
Quarter of Million in Improve
ments in Two Years-Fiye
Thousand Dollars Spent in
HnnanaInl1,

III
HOnesdale.
The Scranton Tribune of Saturday
last gives some interesting particu-.
lars relating to the expansion OF
business and improvements installed
by the Bell Telephone Company in
the Scranton district, in which
Honesdale is included.
e. G. Simons, the manager, states
that on top of the $15O,OOO already
expended, 100000 or more is to
be added this year, the most of it
to be used in increasing the facili-
ties for the conduct of business at
the exchange building. Mr.. Simons
adds: Last year we spent a lot of
money for new cables and for put
ting wires underground, which, in
cidentally, is the voluntary policy
of the company, and the result of
these improvements outside is that
our accommodations inside are not
nearly adequate to take care of the
business which the improvements
have brought to us. We will build
two stories to the rear of our pres
ent building, and on the third floor
Will be new switchboard, to be
installed at cost of $4,000, with
other improvements. On the Sec
ond floor will be retiring room
/ for employees, of whom there are
eighty-tive operators alone, and we
expect to add five more in a short
time. The second floor also will be
used for offices for the plant depart
ment. The first floor will be used
exclusively for the clerical force.
which will have to be at least twice
as large as it is at present. We
have ten statesmen on the road and
we expect this year to surpass even
the large record of $500 new sta
tions added last year. All through
the district the increase in business
has been pronounced. In a tenta-
tive canvass in Honesdale made re-
Gently we secured 1862 new subscrib-
ers. In this town alone we are
spending $1,000 for improvements,
and in Carbondale we are putting
out $4,000. In short, all along the
line business has been booming and
we are going to keep right in pace
with it,
The Carbondale Leader furnishes
the following additional information
of local interest: Many important
changes will be made in the Carbon
dale district of the Bell Telephone
company, which at present COM
prises HOnesdale, White Mills, Haw-
ley and this city. Owing to the eX-
tensive growth of the district it has
been found nee e@@ary TO create a new
district. 1hC new district will con-
sist of Wayne county towns and will
be in charge of +. NJ. McCracken, of
Honesdalc. The Carbondale dis
trict will consist of Vandling, Forest
City, Jermyn, Mayfield, Archibald,
Crystal Lake, Dundaff and other
suburban points. The district will
still continue under the direction of
c. F. O'Donnell, who has been the
courteous and efficient local repre-
sentative for the past year.
Thomas A. Garvey, who recent
ly completed a canvass of the Homes
dale district, will soon be transferred
to the Scranton Office, where he will
take charge of force of eighteen
solicitors

PRICE OF MEATS ADVANCED.

The papers contain sad news for
the housekeepers. The price of
meats has been advanced materially
in nearly all retail markets, and the
promise is that it will be further
increased in the near future. This
movement has been steadily upward
for two years and by the last of
June it is expected the prices will
be double what they were two years
ago.
The reason given is that at the
time of the financial panic, two
years ago, the Western farmers re-
duced their stocks in order to get
cash to carry them through the win
ter, and have since followed the
practice. This, with the effect of
the high price of grain, which in
duced them to hasten their cattle
to market rather than fatten them
for higher prices, has produced a
scarcity of meat.
There never was a time more ad-
vantageous for the vegetables and
fruit propaganda. Advocates of
the prohibition of meat are likely
to finds more attentive ears than
ever before. The housekeepers of
the land have been outraged and
incensed for months. They are
wearied of explaining to the carp
ing head of the house why they have
exceeded their allowances. They
may answer superior and criticising
questions by abolishing meat from
the table if the anti-meat philosoph-
ers will stanu up and teach them
how.
