THE THIRD 1M-" TOT IS IT !"
Not raauy yean ago Barautn, the
great showtnau, hail sxett a wonderful
.curiosity that It became kuown as the
ckbwd"rartjr JW" Who were
ambitious enoueh to start a nolltleal
bow In Carbon county and put the
"ttlrd Tcriri-i wider Uts canvass as the
greatest political curiosity lu the -world,
ha would draw a small crowd, rot thev
would pay him big to sco so wonderful
a uung.
Be could cut some well-ouallfled noli
ticiin on a store box and proclaim totlio
awe rtrtclron people, and tho smaller
politicians, that now ha hid obtained
for the first time at great, expenso the
-ureal What is if In politics called
the "Third Term." Ho would no doubt
say that such a thing u a man holding
onyofflco for tlireo terms In Carbon
county, or In any other place In tho
world, was never known or heard of.
Of course all men of sonso would know
- I,. . .
nM hi:, isi uiero are always a
few .who would llko to bo humbugged by
political uarnuni's. indeed, every well
Informed man would at once sav. that
nearly, If not every township and bor
ough in tho county has men who have
held local offices 'for moro than three
terms It is full of them everywhere In
all the counties of Pennsylvania. Whv
was It? I supposo It would bo fair to
say, mat it was because they wero
honest ana competent men and faithful
ly served the people that Is all tho
peopio want or caroabont In tho admin
titration of public trusts, whether they
be hlch or low. Instances are verv
plenty of men holding County, State
ana national offices for more than three
terms. JSanram'a 4,Thlrd Term" show
Leonid io a .Inmbng to deceive tho Ig-
7n -relation -to the -office of Protliono-
tary I wlsb. to make a special observa
tion. I flnd upon Inquiry, that In the
majority of tlie connlles of (this State
men have held that office for three
terms, and In many ease3 oftcrar and
that the same practico lain -voetuo to.
day. Thero is a very sorcntl reason for
this: The office of ProKicnotary is one
requires special talcnt,-trInlng and
skill, and moro than that, It requires
experience. I would wagi? 'anything
mat i.eorge w. Esscr, TEsq., after serv
ing six years In that office, tflth great
crodlt to himself and entire satisfaction
to tbe Court, bar and people, docs not
fully understand all the Intricate details
and requirements of that cfiioe. It is
one of the few offices that -fiie-publlc
good requires should bo helfi ?bv the
saino Individual during good bticavlor.
1 Indeed, that Is now tho law, or Kt'least,
the customary practice, In all ourt.ighor
courts.
'How then can the people be benefited
by putting an untrained and inesptri
teaced man In such a critical office every
iltree or sir years? U do not think tiiU
the Carbon County Bar will disagree
with ma when I say that there Is'not.'a
lawyer at the bar that knows a partible
too much about law, custom, iociciof
procedure, and the proper methods f
'issuing the numerous writs, and gener
ally performing the duties of tho office
of I'rothonotary, to fill tho position.
It Is fair to askny man who objects
to otc for an .exnericncjd. nullified
and honest am, 'like Mr. Esscr, for Ms
reason. If he has no other reason thut
because It Is for tho "Third Terns,"
then he surely ought to go to Barnum's
political show and see the "What is It,"
so that he could explain himself to his
frleuds,
I have shown you that the "Third
Term" is not against any rule, practice
or custom of the Democratic party, In
deed that party is lu favor of It, and
has been since the foundation of the
government. But seine opponent of
the "Third Term," unaccustomed to
reasoning and discrimination, may say
In reply, Didn't the Democrats raise a
"great howl" when Gen. U. S.Grant was
mentioned tor President the third time?
I answer certainly the Democrats did that
very thln. and so did that class of Re
publican leaders who wanted tbe office
themselves. But you must not forget
that thero Is a vast difference between a
IomI oflha and that of Prcsiicnt of the
United Slates. The great cry -raited
about "Caisarism" frightened some He
publlcans, and Gen. Grant lost the
nomination. No man of any Intelli
gence Is foolish enough to believe that
Gen. Grant ever could, or ever would,
have thought of usurping his powers.
Those people, If any there be, In Car
bon county, who are opposnd to Jlr.
Esscr for Clerk of our Courts, prohably
have "Caisarism" on the brain from the
presidential campaign cry of 1880. This
"Third Term" Is a nlc little trick to urge
against a ma In office, by soiuc other
fellow who wants It himself, to beat
him out of the nomination, but after
that It Is no good and ought to be
dropped, because It Is nonsense In the
highest degree. The "Third Term"
has been given to honest and able men
all over the Union cl all times and
.places, and especially Is this true of the
Frothonotary's office.
heard a business man use the fol
lowing argument against the "Third
Term," to wit: I believe In rfvlni.

Mr, Riser, and it looks neat and clean

' would that same business man, if he
had men In his employ who by long
years of honest service had earned and
obtained his confidence, discharge or
dismiss them from bis service simply to
give others a chanco and to find out
what kind of other good material there
Is among the people of the world. That
same business man has such men In bis
employ, and I know-lie would not think
of utscharglng them for the purpose of

But lastly, will the croakers say that In
tho mutter of a public offlco It h a dif
ferent thing. How is It different?
Why, nnd where is tho difference? Tho
sooner tho people of County, State and
Nation realize the grand idea that "a
public oltlco is a public trust," and tho
closer It Is managed upon strict business
principles, tho better it will befof thorn.
This Idea, I think, 110 man will or can
dispute. It was this issue upon whlch
Mr. Paulson was elected Governor of
Pennsylvania; nnd ho has adhered to It
as sound Democratic doctrine in the
State administration of public affairs.
But" this is not all. Grover Cleveland
was elected President of tho United
States upon a Democratic platform
strongly endorsing tho same principles.
Indeed, that platform earnestly endorses
tho doctrluo of "Civil Service Beform.'i
That doctrine not oly glvea every pub
lic office-holder of a certain grade, a
"Third Torsi" but It gives him his po
sition as long as ho lives, If he so long
Dehavw himself well. Even that Is not
all. A Democratic President cannot re
move a Republican office holder without
cause, if he comes under that class of
officials sped lied under tho civil service
laws. Tho whole idea of all this'is to
bring tho administration of tho govern
meat. In all Its branches and depart
ments, upon sound business principles;'
Tho Democratic party,' tn CountyState
and National Conventions, has repeat
edly declared this idea to bo tho correct
doctrlno of tho party. Besides all this
tho abolishing of tho fee system for a
fixed salary for all public officlals'is
urged and argued everywhere as an Im
portant question of reform, to get upon
solid business principles In conducting
the affairs of the people. Lastly, as a
clincher, tho Democratic party have, in
thli very, campaign nominated Conrad
B. Day, for State Treasurer, because ho
is a business man, and not a politician,
in order to sustain the well-defined
policy of tho party, to conduct tho
peoplo's business upon strict business
principles. It is such a sound and com
mendable political doctrine, that honest
men from all parties will vote for It, for
their own good and safety. Reason,
sound business principles, precedent,
rules.customand platforms, all point out
the path of duty which every Democratic
and Independent voter owes to Mr.
Esscr and tho good of tho public cause.
It sounds very ridiculous to hear a sen
siblo man thoughtlessly say, that he can
not vote for Mr. Esser because It is
against tho rules of the parly. No man,
who is a man, will vote against him for
that reason, because he knows better,
lie must find some other cause.

Ex-GovecKon Hoyt's speech at tho
great occasion of tho unveiling of tho
Soldiers' Monument, at Hazleton. on
Hie 25th ult., has caused more discussion
than any speech delivered in this region
for years. Ho boldly antagonized Si na-
tor Sherman's Idea of any Tenewalit

eloquently and fearlessly. He declared
that, thu cause for which tho soldiers
had fought was won: that the entire

that the only questions -remaining were

Whero the great Brooklyn Brldgo
crosses Pearl street Is a llttlo spaco
called Franklin Square. It is said that
Franklin when a traveling "jour,"
wandered Into Bradford's printing of
fice, which stood near this spot. It is
not a Square, as its name would lndl-
I Ian-, nut n uiiiL-, uui u irmiiie, nur n
....... 1....
cribablo figures for which geometry
finds no name hut irregular. Tho
Franklin Squaro of to-day Is not tho
Frauklin Squaro of fifty years ago or a
hundred years ago, for matter'of that
when Franklin Square, which was. then
fmbraced In ''The Maidens' Walk," was
one of tho fashionable sauntering places
of the city. Hero the lovers of a hun
dred years ago tnpt tholrawoethcarts on
tho banks of tho beautiful dock or lake,
and crossing tho "Lovers' Bridge" they
never failed to claim a lover's privilege,
to which" tho crossing of tho "Lovers'
Brldgo" entitled them; and they wan
dered Into the green fields along the
Bowery Lane, picking the cowslips and
tho daisies, and perchance finding after
anxious search thatomtni of good luck
a four-leaved clover. Rii;ht under the
brldco was the house In which Thomas
Jefl'erson'lled when ho was Secretary
oi-oiaie, anu ucncrai. kuox, tnc becrc-tary-of
War. was a near nWnhbor. and
across .tho way were tho lodgings of
'Tom Paine; and It was here that Tal
leyrand touud quarters when driven an
exile from his uatlvo laud. It was tho
fashionable French quarter, and this In
all probability decided Mr. 'Jefferson In
selecting it for his abode. At that time
a broad law.n stretched away to the
banks of the East River, and gardens
and orchards were to bo seen a3 far as
the eye could reach,
All that is altered now. The gardens
and orchards disappeared many years
ago, and whero the pink of our aristoc
racy once dwelt is now to be found tho
vilest dregs of our population. Only a
block away lived John Allen called the
wickedest man In New York and It
was here that Jerry McAulcy founded
his Water Street Mlssiou, which from
annunible beginning grew and blossomed
into the Cremorne Mission, whero Jerry
McAulcy died. An humble follower of
Christ was Jerry, who first caw his
Saviour's face through a convict's prison
bars. Ho had been a river thief, a
gambler and a prizo fighter; but when
lie put his hand to the plough ho never
looked back. Utterly friendless, with
crimo deep-scarred in every lineament
of Ills face, who would trust him, who
would bullnie himV Ho had faith in
Jesus that might have moved a moun
tain; it did nearly .13 much, for it moved
the hearts of men and woman outcasts
scomingly of God forsaken. From
Wall street came rich bankers, and from
South street great merchants, and in
the humble Water street Mission, sur
rounded by druudard3, harlots and
tli'evcs, they knelt down and prayed;
and their prayers have been answ ered,
and tho harvest was great. Mr. Hatch
and William E. Dodge had faith in the
convict, and in his work, aud that faith
never wavered with Mr. Dodgo "till the
silver thread was loosed,, aud tho noldcn
bowl was broken." After Mr. Dodijo
died, Jerry began to fail, and he, too,
passed tho "Golden Gate." These two
friends, whose lines wero cast so far
apart one a wealthy merchant, and tho
other a convict are to bo rcuumbcrel
by future generations. A statue is to
be erected to William E. DoJge, by the
Chamber of Commerce, and a drinking
fountain to the memory of Jerry Mc
Auley. But I find I have wandered away from
Franklin Squaro. On tho west side is
tho great publishing house of tho Harp
ers, whoso names are known wherever
civilization has obtained a foothold.
Ono after another tho Brothers pass
away, but tho business goes on without
a perceptible jar, turning out Its hun
dreds of millions of pages of history,
philosophy, travel, science, and all the
multitudinous forms of human knowl
edge. From hero go fortli Harpers'
Magazine, and Harpers' H'ccMy, and
Harpers' JJazaar. On the opposite side
of the street, and almost directly under
the Bridge, is tho office of tho Pofce
Gazetlc, a vile sheet devoted to prize
lighting and sensational reports of crime
in its various phases; its proprietor, an
Irishman by the namo of Fox, by pand
ering to tho criminal classes has ac
cumulated a largo fortune, lie lias
been bunting the world over to find
some rullian to slug the fcluggcr Sullivan,
but up to this ttino tho man lias not
been found. To show tho profits of this
nefarious business: Mr. Fox was recent
ly a defendant in a divorce case, and
when it came to the question of alimony
Mrs. Fox testified that her husband's
income was $200,000 11 year. The in
terior of the office is elegantly fitted up.
and in Mr. Fox's private sanctum is a
magnificent case lull of champion's
oclts and other trophies for prize lights,
walking matches, running matches, and
sports of llko character. It Is at this
office that tho Puss generally meet to
deposit sialics and make arrangements
for prize lichts. and here the latest anil
most reliable reports of such affairs arc
to be found. The proprietor of this
sheet recently married the widow of
Johnny Dnjcr, tho prize lighter, who
was made co-rcspoiuleut In his divorce
case with Iijh first wife.
immediately under the bridgo is the
building formerly occupied by Firth A
Hall, the great music publishing house
of fifty years ago. As late as forty years
ago It was the popular music publishing
house of tbe United States, and here
our mothers used to come for "Wood
man Spare that Tree," "Tho Moon on
the Lake is Beaming," and all those de
lightful ballads that make up our child
hood's happiest memories. Tho New
York end ot the great Brldgo runs over
tho Swamp which, for a hundred and
fifty years, has been the homo of tho
tanners. This Is the great leather mart
of tho United States, and hero can be
found tanned all ready for use, every
kind of pelt from a rat skin to an ele
phant's hide. Many of the staunchest
linns In the Swamp aro Quakers, the
business having descended from father
to son for moro than a century.
Speaking of the Brooklyn Bridge, It Is
one of the finest points for general
Observation In the city. Under your
feet Is the river, freighted with busy
life, and on cither tide of you arc the
rushing train's, bearing betuecn the two
cities sixty or seventy thousand people a
day. To the wrst aie Governor's Island,
nnd Bedlo'o's -Island on which stands the
magnificent pcdestral for Liberty En
lightening the World, to which tho New
i ork U'oWd made such a splendid con
tiibution: and still far beyond, in bold
relief against the sky, the Orange Moun
tains of New Jersey. To thouorth rises
the great City, with its million- and a
half of touls and its fifteen bundled
millions -of treasure. Here, and there
some mighty building raises its-head far
above'. its dingy fellows. One of "tho
most prominent Is tho ugly Tribune
building.and beyond that thp Post Office
and the 'spire of the Western Union
Telegraph Co., the Mutual Life Insurance-
Co.' the-g'reat building' of the
Standard Oil Co., and farther thsouaro
turret of the Produce Exchange." Al
mot opposite Is the Cyrus Field.bulld
ing, erected over Washington's head
quarters, on the corner of the 'Battely
and tho Bowling Green. One .Citrig
strikes the old New Yorker sadly,' and
that is tho change In everything. The
splendid opulence of Broadway, with
usmigniy uuuuingsami us costly stores,
arc to him no compensation for the old
time memories when the city was. not
a tithe as rich nor a quarter as popu
lous. Modern Improvements are dally
destroying the old landmarks, and In a
few years fcarcclv any that have ihe
slichtcst historical interest will remain.
We are beslnning to feel the effects of

FROM WASHINGTON
From our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, D. C, Sept. 20, '85,
The Washington people look forward
to a gay society season this winter. As
that is tho general consequence the first
vcar of a new administration, but they
aro not quite sure that President Cleve
land will contribute very mucli to tho
social brilliancy. Uo has given sucii
unmistakable cvidenco of quiet tastes
that tho pcoplo who expect the White
Houso to bo tho centre of society very
much fear that the Impetus for social
splendor will havo to bo sought else
where. Some pcoplo Insist that the
President must do a great deal of enter
taining in order to get acquainted with
pcoplo and to learn something about
society. But tho President has left his
purpose to tho conjecturo of those In
terested, and has yet given no Intima
tion of what ho will do. Sincohohas
occupied tho White House ho has per
sistently refrained from accepting invi
tations to receptions and other social af
fairs, having gone out but twice. Miss
Cleveland has shown the same disposi
tion, preicrnng 10 live quietly ana wuu
out mo excitement attendant upon
society inuuigcncc. biio went out but
little in thu Spring, having with her as
cuests some friends from New York.
When she returns about October 10, she
will bo accompanied by some ladies.who
will remain with her the greater part of
uie season, -is lar as Known, mere
will lie no social occurrences of note at
the White House, aside from Ihe rccen-
Hon. The President docs not, it is as
serted, care for banquets or dinner par
ties, and this usual Stale dinner will bo
the extent of the entertainment In that
direction. Uo likes, however, to have
friends to dine wilh him, and will pro-
uaoiy jpuow mo custom.
The crowd of visitors is unusually
largo for tills time of year, and Is getting
larger every day. Lets of them are
sightseers, bride- and grooms, ifcc, but
a large proportion ot them are not
strangers. You can tell the stranners.
you Know. And you can tell tnc olllce
seekers, well, they outnumber the
others just now. Strangers and sight
seers generally get a guide to show
tliem about. They always want to
know how high it Is to tho canonv in the
uome, wucu sno iapnoi was mint and
who owns the pictures around tho walls.
Then they want to go to thu whisperiug
gallery and see tho echo stones, and
some of them want to know if it really
whispers, and what it says; and then
say, "Ain't it funny?" Then they want
to sit in the Speaker's chair, put their
loot on the centre stone under the doni
and to see tho lobby, whero all the big
lanroaiis are uuue. i lie larger part oi
the visitors here now aro after places
under the new administration. They
are after thcineinbers laying their wires.
They are swarming in every day. Some
of them wear beavers, and button-hole
the members on every occasion. Some
are seedy and don't know anybody, but
just sit here and wait. When "one of
them settles upon what he wants, he's
just as delighted as if he had received
the appointment, lie runs up and tells
the watchman and then his neighbors
w hat lie's going to be, and after that
tlicy give him his title. They are then:
"Mr. Inspector," "Mr. Marshal," "Mr.
Collector," "Mr. Auditor," Ac. If
two settle upon the samo place, there's
trouble, and they have to compromise
the matter and think over again.
The great passion in Washlneton just
now Is gaming on the races. There are
In active operation at the present writ
ing, live pool-rooms whero betting on
horse races all over tlie country is carried
on openly. A test caso was made last
spring, but the courts held that Con
gress had failed to pass any legislation
which would cover the subject. Then
inlluentlal New York parties camo here
and. opened pool-rooms, aided by local
talent. Betting on horse racing lias
reached the size of a mania and tho evil
Is constantly spreading. Thousands are
lost where hundreds aro won. It is only
a matter of a short time when the in
evitable smash will take placo in Wash
ington, and it is certainly only uttering
a kindly wonKof caution to employes,
whether under the government service
or not, to see that men who are hand
ling funds do not, ns tho phraso goes,
"play the races."
In the South of Frantfe Dr. Estachy
tried to disposc-of hfs rival, Dr. Tour-
natoirc, by sending him some game
dosed with belladonna. Illicn discov
ered he said taat it was only a little
practical joke, but the Judgo did not
view the matter In a humorous light, and
locked the Doctor up on a chargo of
attempted murder. Tho wifo and a
sen-ant of his Intended victim nearly
died from the effects of the poison.
