In the selection of township anil borough officials, party lines should be ignored and only tlie best mid most competent men be elected to iill tbe respective offices. It is not n question of party, but one of com petency and capability to execute the functions of the ollice, to which they are aspiring, wisely and eco nomically, and for the best interests of the tax payers. In every instance those who are so quick to draw party liues in local elections are the first to complain over tho results emanating from their own narrow minded work thc improper and unwise methods of executing the public business—and to such extreme partisans alone is due the resultant extravaganco and mismanagement of municipal affairs. Thoroughly competent and quali.ied men—those best lilted by practical experience and a knowledge of public affairs—do not seek municipal oflic.es. They realize the responsibility and annoyance incident to such official positions, and to secure theireervices the office must seek the man, re gardless of age, creed or party affil iation. D. M. Speary, an old soldier of Jlordmont, made us a pleasant call Wednesday. During his stay with us he recited many of his adventures ID the late war. His remarks were interesting and entertaining, lie was a member of the 14 Ith regimes and served almost three years in actual service. Air. Speary was a soldier in every sense of the word. Baueoelug (lie Uoveriiiiieiit. New York, Feb, 10.—The new bond issue is affording an excellent opportunity for buncoing the Treas ury. Assistant Treasurer Conrad N. Jordan intercepted the influx of gold to-day because certain deposi tors were utilizing a convenient method of getting the yellow metal. Leopold Zimmerman, of the Stock Exchange, and Mr. Jordan into an exciting controversy. Zimmer man has a lot of customers who bid successfully for bonds, and he went with several to the Sub-Treasury to arrange for making the lirst pay ment. The broker stuffed his pockets with green-backs and bought Un necessary gold. This h ■ delivered to his patrons to pay into another window. Thus the gold was bought at one part of the ml) treasury and paid into another. Jordan objected on the ground that it was converting the Sub-Treasury into a broker's office. He Insisted that the gold must be carted away from the build ing and brought buck by the bond buyers. "That is a very narrow view for •n official to take," said Mr. Ziniuur man. "You received gold from two TYRMI IQ tblt way. I don't »c« why you favor one and not another." ''AH there is about it, sir, i9 that I object to gold being bought and de livered oi) this floor. You can buy it and doliver it outside anywhere, but not here," returned Mr. Jordan. Mr. Zimmerman, who ia a smaller man than the Assistant Sub-Treas urer, immediately said he would not leave until he had transacted his business, lie finally went to his otlice in this mood. The method suggested by Mr. Jordan is now being much followed. The greenbacks are being exchanged for gold, the latter is carried around the block and paid in for bonds. The next broker takes it out agaiu autt so it goes. The Treasury people arc wonder* ing how much the gold reserve will be swelled by the $100,000,000 bond issue. Teat'hers' Local luNlilute.
