Judge, Carbon county lias just tins man
and lawyer that meets the requirements of
thn position. Ho Is fitted, qualified nnd In
the prime of life. His capabilities to fully
dlsoliargtl the duties of tho position, Impar
tially and judicially, arc beyond question.
The Individual In view is the lion. )V. M
ltapsher, of Mauch Chunk. Let the Dem
ocracy of Carbon county present his name
and urgo It with an earnest purposo and
success may crown the effort.
It Is not noccssary for the AnvocATtS to

is worthy of the place.
for a good many years this section of the
State the strong Democratic section has
had no representation on the State ticket.
It has year after year rolled iip Its unenlng
majorities far the parly without any other
incentive hut that which actuates good
Democrats principle nnd conviction
This constancy and faithfulness to the
Causo of Democracy without any varlablo
ncss is worthy of recognition and reward,
If tho candidacy, through his friends, is
properly presented to tho consideration of
tho State Convention, on Aug. Slst, his
nomination can bo secured beyond perad
Tcnture. It would not only bo a rccognl
tion of the loyalty and constancy of the
Democracy of this Democratic stronghold,
but it would Spur the faithful on to more
vaTor and more earnest work In the cause
of that principle which Is the rcdeemln;
feature of our sjstem of government and
the principle underlying It.
Again, let the Democracy of Carbon
county as one man rally to tho support of
Mr. ltapsher.
The Advocate with soma f rlends.havo
taken the liberty to make these suggestions
vltbout any consultation with tho pro

THE HIGH LICENCE LAW.
A good summary of the-ficw high license
law is given by Paxtoni our Uarrisbnre
correspondent. In his letter, id-day. Whilst
the new law has many excellent features
and commendable qualities, there, aremanv
who will find fault with It, from the fact
that it drives out of a legitimate business
hy heayy and onerous taxation the saloon
keeper who is doing business In tho base
ment and on a limited, scale and puts it in
to tho hands of the proprietor of tho more
pretentious and -high-toned establishment,
creating thereby, as it were, a monopoly of
the liquor traffic. Brewster, who Is emin
ent authority, claims that the new law Is
unconstitutional from the above fact.
When the tlrae.comes for theabandonment
ef the low saloou tho dissatisfaction w ill be
ruore clearly expressed especially in small
country and mining towns. The new law,
ff successfully carried- out, however, will
regulate and correct the flagrant abusa of
the liquor system of this State, and from
this fact it has the earnest prayers and best
wishes of all law-abiding citizens for suc
cess.
One commendable fcaturo of tho new
law is that a certain percentage of all li
censes paid shall revert to tho use of bor
oughs and townships where said license Is
granted. This will bring Into the to"vn
treasury every year a largo amount and as
a consequence, will allow. In this town the
furtherance of many necessary" improvements.

Broaflbriiii's New ml Letter.
Special to tlio Cahdon Advocate.
One of the most delightful little-strains
fn Gilbert and Sullivan's admlnbUs operet
ta of "The Mikado," is-that sung by the
Mikado htmsslf "And let the punishment
lit the crlmertlie punishment fit tho crime."
The press ot our city Is on a broad grin at
the collapse- of one-of their blanket con
temporaries, moro remarkable for enter
prise than- discretion, who, Instead of doing
as the Mikado did In making the pnnlsh
aieat suit tho crime endeavored to make
the crime suit tho punlshnvnt,wlth a most
disastrous result. Several weeks ago.lhe
remains of a young woman were found on
th. outskirts ofHahway, X. J. j she had
Icen murdered the previous night. Xtxt
day theown was alive with reporters from
New YorS, Philadelphia, Newark, Patter
son and numberless other towns lu Pt-nii-svlvanla,
New Jersey and New Tork.
Your modern city reporter is not merely a
scribe and an Interviewer; ho Is a self-constituted
detectlvo In all that that implies.
So In the case of the Iiahway murder, each
reporter had to build up an independent
theory, and then work It as a matter of
news for all It was worth. With an enter
prlzs and zeal that challenged astonish
ment and admiration, the New Yoik
World entered the lists to elucidate the
Railway mystery. Holding the lightning
Ju one band, and an unlimited money bag
in the otbur, U did not take It long to dis
tance all' competitors. The enterprising
young gentleman to whom the matter was
entrusted, was not long in fixing the iden
tity of the murdered girl. Her name was
Anna Laraen; she was a native of Den
mark; she h.td a Wild romantic hU v.y.and
slui had a lover by the namo ufCail
Wolfe, and Carl was anxious lu get rid of
her, and had been heard to say, If sho did
not let him alone, lio would cut Iicr it croud
and a basket of eggs being found near the
murdered girl, It was then remembered
that of all things which the unfortunate
girl liked It was sucking raw oggs,'and he
lover Carl had been known to dcpleto
neighbors' barns and hen-roosts in tho In
dulgenco of this guilty pastime. Then
there was a scar under tho left ear, and
turn In tho nose, and finally a live Count
was hunted up who furnish id all the minor
details which placed beyond the shadow of
a doubt, tho fact, that Anna Larson an
tho murdered girl wcro ono and tho same
person. This week the original Jacobs
turned up-ln, Jersey City; the very antluode
of tlio wild romantic creatine- painted by
tho II orld a very plain old Dutch frow
bordering on the foities; fat. but nut fair
but, nevertheless, the vorltahlt Anna Lar
sen, aoout whom ono hundred and ten
columns of gush had been wiltlen in III
H'orW, and somo hundreds, if not thou
ands of dollars had been expended; and
tho fun of the thing was, that tho reporter
who wroto the sensational articles, rod
past tho woman s house twlco a day for
month; and If ho bad been so inclined
might haye tossed a sour applo in her back
window. Tho paper aforesaid mado

"lo beer or not to beer That's th
question." Tho lesion taught by the
Mayor last Sunday has stirred our Teutonic
citizens to tholr profoundest depths. On
Friday night the Cooper Instituto was
packed with protestants against the rlgl
interpretation of our present excise law-
It Is no usa denying it: Lager llicr Is now

it is Ullllctiltfor us to understand this statt
of affairs In America, but in Germany it is
pcriectly understood. A number of years
ago this city was cursed with a class of sa-
oons, whero minstrel performances of tho
lowest and most vulgar order wero given
whero painted syrens, clad irt oriental cos-
tunics, waited on tho tables drugging and
robbing unwary countrymen who were sec
ingthe sights of tho cltv. In addition t,.
robbery, murder was not uncommon, and
It was to suppress these places that an act

Had tho misroriunc to refuse his police pro

political pull without It. It was a sad mis
take for Harry, for ho lias had little peace
or ins lire since then, and he never will till
he surrenders or dies. In tho meantime,
nowever, a class of beer gardens have
grown up all over the city, which wcro ncv
er contemplated in the act. They aro re
pitiable places; largely patronized by our
ueruian population, whero men go with
ineir wives anil families which fact alono
assures good order; here they sit and listen
to the music, and onjoy themselves genoi
nlly. There Is no unseemly nolso; no dit
order, hut as well behaved, as orderly and
as cheerful a lot of people as could possibly
uc lounu in any piiDiic assembly. It is not
a question whether It. Is politic or wicked
to drink lager at all; but whether it is more
wicked to drink It while listening to the
overture lo Tannhauser or a Strauss waltz,
or Wacht an lihine. Tho judicial Solon
who decided that a performance by a well
trained band was a theatrical performance
oraminstiel show, ought to be presented
with tho latest legal dictionary, for he as-
suredly had a most limited knowledge of
the word entertain niEllt. Tim fnnul ln
was most enthuslatlc, and the lesult win
undoubtedly be.that the law will be amend
ed, and that the whole matter will be left
discretional with the Mayor. The respect

music and beer, and the dives will be driv

Tho ball set rolling hy Mr. VandorbUt nf
the gift of Rosa Jlonheur's '-norse Fair"
to tho Jletiopolltan Museum of Art bids
fair to become contagious. Since that im
perial gift enough has been donated to tho
Museum to form the nucleus of a splendid
uicry ot ait. .Most surprising and gratify
ing was ;he gift of Messonler's "1607" hy
mlgo Hilton firstly, because It marks a
new era in Judge Hilton's life, un to
the present time, though somewhat ad
varccd In years, ho has not been promin
ently identified with auy public benefac
tion. If he ever has contributed to any
public institution or charity beforo the'
peojde at large have never suspected It.and
It may be that he keeps liUlcfl hand In
Ignorauce of the vagrant doings of his
iluht. Howcu-r, he has given a noblo gift
to art, and the two finest pictures in the
lateStevtatt collection, which hung up In
Mr. Stewart's gallery for years, only teen
by a few dozeu faorod people, may now
be enjoyed by the great public without
money and without price. Now a spirited
effort Is being made to open ourart galleries
and libraries on.Sundays, Inasmuch as wo
hae not church room for one-fifth of our
bopulatlon, better let them go into tho
libraries and read, aud into the musenms

Tho lutcr-stato Commerce bill has been
disastrous to companies on the road, and

Tho theatiical event of the weak lias been
the production of Itlenzl at NIblo's by Mr;
I.awrcnco Barrett. To tlio credit of Mr.
Barrett be It recorded that ho Is the ono
American In-tho higher walks of tragedy
who Is hot afraid to measuro himself along
side of a first-class company. . It is between
ten and twelve years since Mr. Barrett ap
peared at Booth's theater as Casslus In
Julius Cajsar Davenport was the Brutus,
Bangs tlio Marc Anthony, Barrett was tho
Casslus, and cvbn surrounded by able ac
tors he stood out tho prominent figure In

hard, painstaking student, ho has labored
unceasingly till ho has Disced himself at the
head of his profession In the United States.
To witness "The Last of the Tribunes" Is
better than reading history. You aro trans

you sat on tho Capltollno Hill five hundred
