11QH. W. il. RAFS1IER rORJUDOE OF THE
BOPHEME COURT.
One week ago we suggested tlio name of
Hon. William M. Iiapsticr, of Mauch
C hunk, at a strong and suitable candidate
fbr Judge of llio Supreme Court, en tbc
Democratic ticket. .Judging from tlio fav
orable reports tliat have readied us from
different parts of the State we now feel
confident that our Idea w as ulse and poli
tic. In this connection ve desire to call
attention to a few tein&rks mnilo the other
day by an able and UistUiauisieil Philadel
phia lawyer In relation to Mr. ltapsbc?
candidacy., llo said: "I remember Air.
"Hapsbcr well, from his brilliant ami elo
quent speecliee lu the House of Iteiircien
41 tatlvcs ten years ago. In that Bedlam
"of confusion silence was restored when
" ever he Arose to speak. Of course, 'every
"man that amounts to anything, has his
"enemies, aud jou will no doubt now and
"then hear eomcbtio say, that Mr. Ilap
" shef is not well enough known to be a
"successful candidate for that high olllce.
" This fact instead of being an clcmeut of
" wvakuess will, I believe, prove to be his
"greatest strength, for the reason that If
"(the pa,ryJo"u1dflpuiinattbe Democrat.
" Ic lawyer' telipover' Ins may be) having
" the greatest 'reputation In Pennsvlvanla,
he would probably be defeated by a large
"majority. .Hlsfireat reputation would be
"his weakness. To Illustrate: Who knew
" anything Tib'Snt President Cleveland and
"Kx-Jov. Pattlsdn eight years ago out
"slde of their own election districts? And
"yet how many Illustrious Democratic
" statesmen with nuruxATioNS, were de
" f eatcd before Cleveland and Pattlson w ere
" elected? Yet tliey made useful and suc-
" cessf ul public men. No ddnlit both of
" them baye- learned a great deal since they
" came Into, public prominence. I know
" Mr. ltapsher to be a sensible and level
" headed man, and be would no doubt Iiim-
" self freely admit that there Is much to be
"learned and experienced which he does
" not yet know. But I am satisfied ho has
"the brain and perception to Oil a seat on
" the Supreme Bench, with credit. But
"his ability will hardly be called In queS'
"tloi."
We-deslre to-cmphaslzc the foregolns re
marks by adding tint- Mr. Rapshcr never
represented a corporation In any case, In
court or out of court. This fact you may
mark down In your diary because It Is such
a rare, thing. He was always on the side
of the people, and mostly with the poor
people at that, because after a large and
active practice of nearly twenty years, he
remains poor himself. Let us submit one
more suggestion, perhaps you will like' it,
Wouldn't It be a good and sad: Idea to
put at least one Judge on the Supreme
Bench, whoso heart and sympathies are
with the common people? On the other
hand. If you believe that the people of this
Commonwealth are fully determined that
no man, no matter how worthy he may be,
can ever be, or should ever be, elected to a
scat on the Supreme Bench, unless he has
first been a sallsfactoiy lawyer for "The
Standard Oil Company" or tho "Pennsyl
vania Railroad Company" and got men
and a lira heputation, then, ccilainly,
yon will join hi with the hue and cry of
monopolistic power, and say that Mr. ltap
sher Is not rich enough, and not big enough
for, that office, but go right straight ahead
and put corporation lawyers on the Supreme
Bench, and then afterwards wo:;m:it why
It Is that tlio law is so much in favor of
corporations.
Wo wish tho majority of tho people -vould
unnersinnu mis, auu aci ami voio accoru

Tuk constitutionality of High Li
sense Is to be tested by tlie State Liquor
League. It would be top.bad if there be
found a flat? In it after' all tho wrangling
and time lost by our enterprising leglsla
Lars.
is & recent speech in New Orleans, Jef
ferson Davis soldi "United you are, and if
the Union Is ever to be broken let tbc other
side break it. The truths we fought for
shall not eneourace youeverto light again
but keep your word In good or evlL" This
manifestation of Jeff Davis' complete
resignation, to tho existing order of thin
will be a grievous disappointment to the
gallant army of bloody-shlrt wavers in the
North.
Ir the number of hotels and saloons now
open and running in this place under the
older license system take cut the new $1G0
Ucenso- ue st year, $900 will revert to tho
borough treasury. This will allow of a tc
ductlon lu the tax. rate or permit of a. mmv
ber of very important and necessary Im
proyeaieiits for Instance, the construction
of a sewer and the macadanilzatton of
Bank street. Of course, our borou
authorities will consider this matter and
act wisely..
DECOHATIONDAY OBSERVE IT.
Monday, May 30th, will be Decoration
Day, It behooves all loyal and patriot!
dtiaeasto. observe in a fitting manner the
noble deeds of America's great and brave,
Iji no way can this be done more, approprl
atcly. and beautifully than by strewing fra-
grant flowers of summer emblems of loy
ally, love and patriotism on the graves o
soldiers who In answering to the Dual roll
sail, hay Joined 4th armies of the Great
CommanUsTj, and battle now for peace and
love.
1 here should' be no distinction on Decor
ation Day between the wearers of the Blue
and the Gray living representatives of
many bloody strifes should clasp hands
across Mason and Dixon line In an eternal
Koodfellowshlp, while tho graves of heroes
all alike should bo adorned with the sweet
it emblems of a glad summer lime. Th
trials ami vicissitudes of civil war have
passed into history as ah occurrence which
comes to all nations, and for a time dis
turbs the peaco and prosperity of her peo
pic,, but lu closing leaves the followers of
lalse, delusive dogma vanquished and pciv
ltenl and converts to tho perpetuation of
these United States and protectois of the

blem of thlrty-clght States and the greatest
and grandest nation In the world
Join with the Grand Army of the Be
public Monday mid assist In the perpelua.
Don for all time to come of the noble deeds
and self sacrifices of the Blue and Gray
who left their homes, friends and fortunes
to die on bloody battle fields amidst the
fierce, cruel carnage of civil war.

many a long aud weaiy march ami many a

'''.pncpfilnB busiest centers In New York
Is'tlufou Squari. Where Broadway meets
It on' the right Is the BUlto of the actors,
and here, lounging under the shadow of
tho Morton' House, through the summer's
heat ami the winter's celd, plenty of them
are Always to bo found. They vary fn
magnllnde and respectability like the
members of other callings,. and there are
more grades amongst Ihrni than there arc
castes lu India. Like their namesakes lit
the heavens there are stars of different
magnitudes; probably a more Intelligible
classification would bo planets and Used
stars, understanding always that there
are planets on the stage t?ho differ as
much in calibre as Jupiter differs from
Mercury. Great stars never hang around
here, if seen In the classic precincts of
the Morton House, It Is only for a short
time, and to keep an appointment with
some manager. But smug comedians, clean
shaven and often seedy, aro quite abund
ant; and tragic, solemn looking gentlemen
Ilh frock coats buttoned to the chin to
conceal their tolled linen are by no means
uncommon. As a rule all the actors en
gaged in the Metropolitan theaters are an
exceedingly well dressed and comfortable
looking lot of people; as well they may be,
for the average of Metropolitan salaries Is
high, enabling the members of the theaUl
cal profession to live in comfort and lux
ury. The leading man of a first class
theater docs not feel railed upon to uotlco
any of the junior members of the profes
slon, If ho meets them in tho street; and a
member of the ballet, though possibly she
might have .known her- for yean, would
never cipect to be noticed by tho leading
laity In public On Union Square arc also
number of tho best known theatrical
agencies and professional costttmers, shoe
makers and tailors, who reap a good harvest
when business Is good.
Immediately In front of the Union Square
theater Is an equestrian statue of Washing
ton, which on Decoration Day and other
national holidays is an object of special at
tention. Many yars ago, when Ulilon
Square was a quiet old place, where gentle
men built their houses for the sake of en
joying a breath of purs country air, a most
conspicuous feature of that surhurban re
ttcat was the magnificent mansion of Judge
Hooseyelt. The Judge represented a strain
of the oldest and bluest blood on Manhat
tan Island, and was an aristocrat of the first
water In all that that Implies.
When the Square was being fixed up,
committee of patriotic citizens resolved
that the proper thing to do, would be to
place a statue of tho Father of his country,
at the head of New York's noblest thor
oughfare. The different property holders
about tho Square were waited on, mid sat
isfactory subscriptions were obtained, and
at last they called on Judge Koosevclt
thinking that the liberal contributions of
his neighbors would have n good effect on
the Judao's subscription, for there was no
denying It, that the Judge was remarkably
close-fisted. The spokesman of tho partv
was an eminent banker, and the committee
was ushered into tho Judgo's drawing
room. The spokesman advanced and said
"Judge Roosevelt, wo have been requested
by a number of your fellow citizens to call
on to ask you for a subscription for' the
purpose of erecting a statue to the Father
of his country, which wo propose to set up
directly In front of your house. It's a
noblerause. Now. Judge, how much Mill
you give?" "Not a:cent, sir; not a cent,
said the Judge, rising from his scat; "I
don,'t want any statue raised to the Father
of my country, sir. I can remember him
without any statue; I won'tgive a ccnt;no,
sir; not n. cent." Tho committee rose in
Indignation, and the chairman advanced to
Judge Roosevelt and said, "so you won'
give a cent;" the Judge replied, "no, sir;
won't." "Why, may I ask?" said the
chairman. "Because," said the Judge
"I've got the Father of my countiyen
shilned in my heart." "Then, allqw m
to tell you, Judgo Roosevelt, you've got
the Father of. your country in a tight
place," and the committee Instantly with
drew. Tho statue was erected without the
aid of Judge Reosevelt, but as a punish
ment for his meanness they erected It on
the other side of the square. Between
Broadway and University Tlaco is or was
The Malson d'Or" the House of Gold
What visions of splendor long since van
Ished, pass in review beforo me; and what
a long list of Fortune's fools went down to
ruin within Its gilded halls I It was in the
Jays of I lie old Tweed ring, when fortunes
were squandered In a day, and oftentimes
by public robbery, made in an hour. The
extravagant tastes of theso Sybarites had
outgrown Dclmonlco's Austiueill's. and
their wildest dreams of luxury were to be
realized In this golden palace. Tweed had
leased tlio Metropolitan Hotel, and furn
Ishing It magnificently, proposing to make
it a sort of political headquarters; but at
"The Malsou d'Or," grand prlvato suppers
Were to be given, and all the fast flyers an
high steppers were expected to make It
ihclr headquarters.
The hopes of Its founders wero neycr re
allied; a curse seomed to rest upon It from
the start, card sharps and swindlers clung
to It like the shirt of Nessus, ami the taint
of moral leprosy dragged It down to ruin
In after years It was occupied for various
purposes, but tho evil taint of its birth fol
lowed it like a witch's curse; but tbe fates
seem to bo propitiated at last, it Is now
opened as a cheap restaurant, and with Its
dedication to the wants of tho million, the
curse seems to have passed away.
iue wiiumiu ircscocs are sun to uo seen
on tho celllngs'and walls, but Instead of the
rich feasts of the past, when fountains ran
champagne; when lu mid winter tho al
.vas heavy with tho perfume of tho rarest
(lowers, and tho land, sea ami sky were
ransacked to furnish the tables, may now
be seen codfish balls, ten cents; coffeo and
tea, five; flannel calces, ten cents; and up
pie dumpling the samo; a toothsome steak
for a quarter; chops, ditto, ditto, and all
tho pork and beans that you can comfotta
bly put under your belt for a couple of
niche's . I was thero when the Malson
d'Or opened its magnificent portals long
years ago. A good many of tho crow
who drank beer and tuld queer stories at
PlafTs took advantage of the occasion to
get a square meal and u square drink, and
I recollect some of thoni who for days after
had their pockets stuffed full of the finest
cigars. It was a great night, and every
freo to siuMiiEr.s or Tin: muss.
The. other day I stepped In there again
I was it stranger among strangers. A plate
i)t fish balls, some flannel cakes and a cup
of coffee tin olvcd the outlay of a quarter
humble but honest; not diamonds, chain
pagtie, quail on toast, l'ATU in: rots on ah,
bankruptcy and exilo; but, sulllclent for
the day, &u. Don't suppose for a moment
that because the charges are ten and five
cents, that "The House of Gold" Is frc
quented only by tho rlll-raff. Oh, by no
.means' Ladles J 11 silks and satins and fine
IflCCS OCCUUV tbll reterrcd enclulvel for

them, and after a luxurious feast they walk
up to the cashier's desk with a check for
fifteen cents. ItJooks hopeful, this cheap

quarter, where a well -dressed and well bred
lady 4s not ashamed to save her money even
her htubaiid lias to earn IL
Henry George, the apostle of land reform
and the prophet of the new mllleneluiu, Is
busily engaged with Doctor McGlyun in
the formation of an Anti-poverty Society.
It Is hardly necessary to say that my best
Ishes go with tliem. I should particular
ly like tho olllce of treasurer if the thing
goes n as It started last Sunday night. I
certain!) could see my way to daylight ns
far as the treasurer was concerned, If I had
to found my first colony In Canada. To-
ards the close of the meeting the audi
ence began pitching dollars, Halts anil
quarters on lira Blagc, and the result of the
liver shower was four hundred dollars.
Not a bad beginning for antl-poyerty, but I
have not yet heard that any iioor man, ex
cept Heury George, has been helped by the
contribution, though reserved teats cost
from 23 cents to a dollar; not bad for pov
erty. It looks now as if there was going to be
serious division In tlie Labor Party. An
archy represents a faction that will act In
dependently and cannot ho overlooked.
Henry George represents a distinct party
looking to a uaUonal organization, tlie final
goal ot which Is the White House. Then
comes the organization of the Knights of
Labor, which, in the last municipal battle
gave Mr. Gcorgo wliatcver prominence he
has to-dxy. Will they rally around him
again? or will labor relegate him liack to
a subordinate place and call Johtiwlnton
to the front? Tho mystery is, uliy did tho
labor-vote pass John Swlnton by and take
up Henry George? Heilry George- wrote
Progress and Poverty." What of It?
John Swlnton said all you can Cud in
'Progress and Poverty" .years and years
ago; aye, and said It better than it has
been said before or since. A man of edu
cation, of large brain and varied accuin
plishiucnts, and a reformer of the John the
Baptist cast, who, if needful, could go clad
n skins and feed ou locusts and wild
honey.
Clear and distinct is tho army of the
Knights of Labor with Mr. Powderly as
the leader, but whose political existence is
hourly threatened by- rebellious factions
who hate and fear him. It Is therefore
pretty certain that in New York at least,
labor will not enter as a unit Into our next
political fight. The methods of the Knights
in conducting their fights have already
awakened bitter antagonisms which are
crystallrlng alf the outside elements of op
position into a national organization.
There are thousands of honest hard
working men who do not belong to the
Knights of Labor, and who do not want to
belong to them, who will not quietly -stand
by and see themselves stamped with In
famy, because they refuse to join their As
sociation. As soon as the leader can be
found these thousands will form an As
sociation of their own, the corner-stone of
which shall be the Independence of the
worktngman, and the absolute right to sell
his labor when and where ho will to the
highest bidder.
A singular feature In tho trial of Jake
Sharp, which is now approaching, is the
fact that the railroad he laid down by sucl
infamous means, and which sent three al
dermen to prison and seven or eight Into
exile, and which may cost Mr. Sharp his
liberty for many years to come, Is a public
benefit which no man in New York would
willingly have removed, and which pays
greatei revenue to tho city than all the oth
er railroads put together.
The city has profited by Jacob's villainy
immensely, if villainy thero was; but
whether It did or whether It did not, It
proposes to make Jacob pay the piper.

out a particle of exaggeration, the largest and most complete
ever brought to Lehighton or shown in this section of the Lehigh
Valley. Tlie styles in lints and Bonnets for the Summer of '87
are more beautiful than ever, while the lovliness in .tints and
colors of ribbons have never been equalled. With a large nnd
fashionable stock of only the latest styles in millinery hats, bon
nets nnd trimmings, and a force of experienced milliners, I invite
the ladies of Lehighton, YVcissport and surrounding country, to
call and inspect my stock and leave their orders, feeling sure that
I can give satisfaction in every particular. Respectfully,-
