..As tho time for the election of dele
gates and the nomination of candidates
fot the various county offices draws
nigh the usual excitement takes the
place of the quietness that has prevailed
all along, llolh tho upper nnd the lower
end will produce thclrscveral candidates
nnd no llttlo "excitement" Is antici
pated. It has been tho rule of many
lower eml Democrats In the past to sup
port tho ticket as nominated by the
county convention; whether they have
been wise in so doing the past plainly
shows, llcfore tho sj stem of rotation
became the rule In our county politics
we were w ell nnd ably represented, both
In the halls of Congress nnd the Stato
Legislature. It has been the custom of
giving a man "two terms" whether ho
has proved himself an honor In repre
senting the affairs of the county or not.
This habit, or custom, should be done
away with; It reflects no credit upon the
advanced nnd new ideas of the young
Democracy; it smacks too much of tl'o
system of spoils and will ultimately. de
generate to a worse state of affairs. At
the coming convention the usual num
ber of candidates will bo present, con
sequently due regard should be given to
tho election, of delegates who aro, to
represent the various election districts..
The delegates elected are supposed .to
represent the sentiment of the district
from which they come if they favor the
system of rotation, if they recognize or
fear to act as honest and conscientious
Democrats by reason of what tho so
called bosses may say or hayo said, it
shows the weakness which controls
them. In this county where the
Democratic majority ranges from 400 to
500 tho party needs no boss, and he who
attempts to pose as such should bo sum
marily dealt with. A leader with fair,
honest and conscientious principles, one
w ho is not urged on by reason of self
aggrandizement, Is what the Democracy
wants lu every election district. When
the party ranks aro purged of such as
"aspire to boss," of those who "carry
the Dutch vole in their pocket" and of
tl lose who "control Irish voters In the
upper cud," tho Democratic party with
their new and advanced Ideas of Jeffer-
sonlan simplicity will placo Carbon
county in an advanced political position.
Our town authorities should take all
the precautions possible In order to pre
vent tho spread of typhoid fever of
which tiiere aro several cases reported
here. It would not be unwise at a time
like this, when the fever epidemic rage3
so fiercely in some of the neighboring
towns, to organize a. Hoard of Health,
and at once enforce tho sliiclest sanitary
measures. This Is an Important matter
and should receive the prompt attention
of our town fathers.
We have a joungman In this place,
who since his advent here, some vears
ago, has posed as a great leader In the
lower end Democracy. Ho is a young
man possessed of untiring zeal and en
ergy (?) hi pushing forward the claims
of the Democracy, he, no doubt, would
hn willing to become a martyr in the
causo of the Democracy should necessi
ty demand it, going ilown with the fall
of the party, gloiying In the f.-ietlhat he
had done only that which is "good and
great." Hut it is just this energy, this
so-called display of ability that makes
I-rank L. llcber objectionable to the
Democracy here. He is at present hoid
Inga position in theU. S. Mint, still the
work thorn Is not so picsslngbut what lie
finds time to see Ills many ('.') friends In
tills section and make things solid for
the Hon. Michael Cassldy. Just how
solid lie makes things for the above
named Individual, however, will be seen
on the day of the convention, when
I-rank shall hayo a mighty fall and
Michael will open his eyes to the fact
that ho is left.
Parents, keep your eye on that
daughter of jours; exercise your better
judgment as a parent in allowing her to
run the streets at all times of the day
and night, fcvoiy night in tho wee!
young glils can bo seen running up and
down, over and across ourstreets. You
may think that because H'elssport Is a
small town, Its temptations are likewise
limited. This is a mistake on your sido
and you may live to rue it. Under the
watchful eye of a parent we luvailably
seo a "perfect liltlo lady," but bo lax lu
your vigilance, careless in your ways,
and seo how soon that "perfect little
lady forgets heiself. As an evidence,
which substantiates our assertions, we
need only recall the recent exposure of
so many Newark, X. J., joung girls,
who have gone in "tho way of tho wick
ed." Tills is an important matter ti
parents, It concerns tho elernal as w.til
as the earthly welfare of your daughters
and tho safety of our land, for on the
virtue of our women depends the future
of our government. Parents nnd guard
ians bo watchful, see that jour daugh
ters are off the streets at night; by ex-,
ercislng our authority now you mny be
saved years of sorrow, ami your daugh
ters f i om an eaily grave.
Tho Prohibitionists and liepulill
eans nro at logger heads here. Our most
radical partisans aro beginning to real
ize that the Piohlbitlon party must bo
recognized now, If they do not wish to
hao a rude awakening from their
dreams after the day of election, by fee
ing the Prohibition vote mniked at 00,
000 to 100,000. These figures aro not
too large. If anything they could be
raised a little higher; when wo consider
the number of Hepublicaus whoarc tired
of voting for Uoss Quay's candidates,
and the number of dissatisfied Demo
crats, wo find that tho above Hemes are
not too largo Dissatisfied politicians
of every stripe will find rest for a time
under the banner of Prohibition, and if
not recognized, In time, will seek pas
tures new. So tho world moves along,
and tho Prohibition party, under caro
ful training, will ultimately prove lo bo
tho gicat "knocker out" In polities.

Jos. Obcrt vs. The Borongh of Lch'ghton.
Tho case of Joseph Obert vs. the Le

ages which Mr. Obert claims for the up
setting of eeu-ral wagon loads of hay
and for the Injury of one of his em
ployees, some weeks ago, was heard be
fore 'Squire Lenta:, on Northampton
street, Monday evening. Tho several
witnesses testified that tho gutter was
in a bad condition and required careful
diiiing In order to cross with a heavy
load. The drivers of the te.mis which
met with the upset testified that they
iook njl the precaution possible In cross
Ing the gutter, Ac, &c. Samuel Grav
eraud Al Guth, witnesses for tho bor
ough, testified that with careful drivln;
the gutter could bosafelv crossed: Grav
or claiming that be could cross it safely
with a four hoise team, Ac. Mr. Ober
is willing to pay cither ot these tw
gentlemen ?23 if they can substantiate
their claims according to tho testimony
theygaio Monday evenin?. Tho evi
dence was summed up and the argument
heard, 'Squlro Leutz rcservlnir his d

The Coaniry Shaken Up.
A considerable of the United States
was shaken by Friday evening's earth
quake. Tho area over which the con
vulsion extended Is much greater than
umi uiiecicu uy ine shock of 1SS4. In
that year the shock was not felt south
of Washington, west of tho Alleghanie:
or north of tho St. Lawrence. It wn
the most severe close to the seaboard
and in about this latitude. Tuesday
nlcht's disturbance was felt as far south,
aeemiling to the repoits at hum!, a:
Alabama, and as far west as Chicago
lToin still fuitlier west comes an In
teresting account of a iihennnien.il
water-burst from an artesian well, and
from the Yellowstone region a report of
an unaccountable awakenlngof ageyser
that hail been doing iiolhirg of l.itc.
tvrliaps our earthquake sliarp3 will be
able to tell whether last Tuesday night's
slioelt and theso occiirreness hud any.
thing to do witii onu another. In the
earthquake of 1SSI the vibration pasted
from south lo north, according to tho
most trustworthy observations; whllelho
vibration Tuesday evening seemed to be
from west to east. There Is n w idc
difference, of opinion as to tho dur.itlnn
ofthndlsttiibance. Tho duration to tho
shock of 1SS4 was vailoiuly estimated
at from 1 1-2 seconds to 1 1-2 minutes,
the briefer limit being the ostlmato of
tlic moro cxpeiieueed observers, The
most impressive feature of the disnir
banco of two years ago the character
istic rumbling, like that which might bo
produced by the grating together of
masses of rook Is not mentioned in any
of the accounts of Tuesday night's
earthquake. The culmination of these
shocks was at Cliai lesion, S. C, where
three-fourths of the cily was destroyed,
over ;i0 persons killed and fully 100 in.

reckoning!
Hut how w 111 s on begin? If you arc satisfied
with jour efforts, practices, and results. If you
think thai there Is nothing lobe learned from
the records ot the past, from the methods
or principles of the great masters ot the ait,
If ) on think that there Is noonelU Ins or dead,
superior t( yourself, you. of course, will con
tinue lo do as you have done. There Is ncllhcr

Hut If jou have nude mistakes and there

stilie to correct these errors, and start anew
upon a patli.uol marked out by cmplikiuuor
micss-work but by the skilled hands uf known
surveyors. The path Is ilearly .shown. The
finger-boards never point In the wrung direc
tion. Thero are neither stiunhlliiK blocks
nor pltf.ills In the way. There Is not a subject
lu jour curriculum that will not bear lcexam-
Inallon or rcincstl(ratlon in regard lo jouror
any method of teaching It. There Is not a
teacher living, who tests his methods by the
known principles of the art, tli.lt Is not forced

training Is essential In the foiiiuitnn of cliar-

punishment is not a powerful clement In that
training? We think th.it Solomon was en
tirely right In Ids direction to train up a child
hi tho way he .should go, so that he might con
tinue therein when the jear.s come upon lilm
but we nlsotlihik that Solomon was radically
wrong when ho Intimated that the rod of cor
rection was the one and only thing necessary
lo drive away heart folly from a child and
that child spoiling was the necessary .sequenic
of roil sparing. If teachers would speak, we
think that many of them would say that the
onfy blot, thu darkest and heaviest that mrrs
tho memory of the past Is tlieanger, the hate,
the excitement thai attended and followed
many ot those school punishments, l'ossil.ly
parents, too, may have cause for much un
spoken sorrow lu the thought that much of
tho whipping of their children inkilit have
been spared, It they had onlj understood
child nature.
The school-bell rings! The school-bell, a

terrors of the old time regime. How It hur-

Tho Coal Trado Active.
There Is an active business doing In
anthracite coal at present, tays tho
Uecord, nnd the demand exceeds the
supply. Operators are working much
closer this year than Jast, and there Is
no danger of an overproduction. Al
though the indications for September's
trade are fully equal to those of this
period last year, still the limit of the
output for the Philadelphia and Heading
Coal and Iron Company is 500 000 tons
below the amount allowed for last Sep
tember s production. This will reduce
stocks to a minimum. A possible ad
vance of say 25 cents per ton Is looked
for at tho meeting of general coal agents
in New York, in view of the low rates
ruling there as the result of tho antici
pation of a heavy overproduction which
has not been rullilled.

John 15, 1-10. Golden Text, John 15,
5. Time, Thursday evening, April 6th.
Place, an upper room in Jerusalem.
The lesson is a continuation of that
memorable scene in the upper room nt
Ji Titsalein, when Christ took leave of His
disciples. The little conipnny had risen
to go, hut .Tcuiis seemed imxious to say
more to theni before lie took His I'mul
departure, mid so Ilespokc to llicm ns
tlicyMmxlnniuml Ilim. llis illii-triition
was tit once beautiful nnd appropriate.
Probably the house in which I hey were
staying overlooked n vineyard, nnd the
vines could be seen in the moonlight.
It was now ten or eleven o'clock at night.
Pointing to tlievincs, it maj' he, Jesus
tells Hisdi.sclplos that in them tlicy see
a good illustration of Iliimelf nnd His
disciples. Tlicy were nil fmnilar with
tho vine nnd its cultivation, and could
readily ajipreciiilethe forcoof the simile,
the v ine is tjie lifo of the brunches, from
whence they draw their sustenanco nnd
strength. As the branches-live in tho
vino so they are able to bear good fruit;
but if they are cutofl'from llje vine, tliev,
soon wither and die amlure-cnxt'Oitt f
the vineyard tohc burned. ChrKt'is the
iruevine. llisdiscipIesarellie.brHnchcs.
Each follower and each churrli is a
branch. If welivein lilm and Hein us
wesjinll bringlcirlh fruit. If wo forsake
Christ we shall cease to have spiritual
life, and will soon wither mid die and be
east imttobcbiirnod. The true believer
and follower of Christ is a living branch
of a living vine. Although Jesus was
about Iodic, Ho speaks of Himself us
living, nnd going to live and give life for
ever. He is still the living vine, and
those who follow Ilim constantly receive
life from Him. We livein Hini liv faitli
and love nnd earnest deeds and" holy
lives, As a vinedresser gives carefiil
attention to the vines under his charge,
so our Father constantly cares for us.
The vinedresser prune's and cultures
and trains the vines so us to make them
pnMuce the largest quantity of the best
fruit. So our Father is ever pruning us,
removiiv; things not in harmony with
Ilim, training us in many ways, preparing
us according to I lis own purposes, so that
we may be aide to bring forth large quan
tities of the best fruits.
Tills must have been very gratifying lo
the disoiplesut that time, 'in the shadow
of the coming ermilixion tlioy had the
Divine assurance that their Master would
ever live in than mid give them living
aid nnd strength, as certainly as the
branchesdrew life and nourishment from
the vine down thcrcintlie garden. And
then tlicy bad the further satisfaction of
knowing that their Heavenly Father
would watch over them and' care for
them willi even greater thonghtfulncRS
than the vinedresser would tend his
vines.
Comforting as this must havobeen to
the disciple., it is much more so to us.
In the midst of nn unbelieving genera
tion, with atheism ami scepticism on all
sides, it is a blessed thought that we are
living in ChrUt, and He is living in us.
Every day and every hour we may draw
life from Ilim, nnd every lav and hour
thoDivineFutlier is tenderly watching
over us and carefully training us up
according to His own "wisdom.

TAKE1I OFF THE BAT,
The Carbons, of East Mauch Chunk,
aro anxious to play with tho Lansford
Stars.
The Arcadlas', of Welssport, cross
bats w 1th the Welcomes', of E. Mauch
Chunk, to-day (Saturday).
Is it not rather premature for the
Lansford baso ball club to lay claim to
the championship of tho county?
Rrinkinau's catching and throwing
to bases is said to have been a very In
teresting feature of tho Lausford-Le-hightnn
game.
The game of ball nt Lansford be
tween the Stars and Levlston club
closed at the end of the fourth inning
for various reasons.
Efforts aio being made to arrange
for a series of three games between the
Slatington Hints Stockings and the Le
highton club for a purse of S50 or $100.
Sohlatich, get your "chestnut register"
In order.
If the game of base ball at Slating
ton between tho Hlue Stockings, of that
place and the H'elssport club was played
under the difficulties claimed by Welss
port players, truly, Schlauch should pull
his "Ilawthorno register," and tho Hlue
Stocking juveniles should be called off.
