lust four weeks ago wo presented tlio
iiamc of Cnrlmn eoiinty'a dlsUnsitUlicil
lawyer Hon. XV, M. Itapslier, of Mmrcli
rimnk for the lojltlon of Judge of Ihe
ijtiorerno Court of Pcnnsyhanla; tlio many
influential newspaper comuiSnts coiiinieiirt
ntofy of our action and laudatory of Sir.
Itapalier's abllHy.ns a gentleman learned In
the spirit Rml Idler of the latv convince us
that we were not mistaken In presenting
Ms naroc for so prominent a position and
urging the Carbon county Democracy to
push his claims by presenting bis name to
the consideration of the' Democratic State
Convention, which convenes at Allentown
n the 31st day of August, 1S87.
The nomlratlon of Sir. Ilapshcr for Su
premo Court Judge by the Democratic Con
tention wouM be- -a just rccegnltlon and
ackno.wledgmrnt ef the majorities which
the oW Tenth Legion has never failed to
roll up- for the Democratic party; but not
that alone, the honorable qenUcman,whllst
ho Is a positive Democrat,' would not allow
blcoted partyism to blind him to tho im
partial discharge of the dalles connected
vtlth the Supreme Judgeship. He would
give to the office the best services that man
can give honest and careful mention and
a faithful discharge of all the various duties
connected thtrcwllh.. During Mr. Itap-
sher's twenty years of legal practice he has
never represented a corporation or monop
olistic enterprise being, however, always
on the side of the common people, the
champion of their rights and Interests.
The following opinions we clip from our
exchanges:
Hon. W. II. Ilapshcr, nf Carbon county, is be
ing pushed by Ills friends for a piaee on the Su
preme Court bench of tills State. If the Honor-
ablo Jiulg can show a good record on the land
atuliabor questions, let lilin go to the front

V. SI. Rapshcr, tlic present district attorney
of Carbon county, is a candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination for .Indue of the Supreme
Court, Mr. Ilapshcr Is spoken cry highly! as
ft lawyer by those who knowlilin. Ifo has been
a member of the Leghlntitre ami wlille there

IkwiiiciI liy many frlends-ln Carbon and adjoin
fiijr comities for the nomination o Supreme
Judge. Mr. Rapjher ts a good, clean man and
an able lawyer. He Is likewise a- sturdy Demo
crat, with an nndcrstanrtlnjt ot what Democracy
means, and would be a popular candidate and a
safe Judge If elected. Vi llkcsbarro Evening
Leader
The name of district attorney Itapsber will be
presented to the Democratic State Convention
tor Supreme Judge. It is tlio duty of Carbon
county to-give him an earnest support, if the
lightning should strike our way. we arc satisfied
that It will find a worthyand" capable candidate
m Mr. Rapsher, Since Matt Quay declares that
we must havo Supreme Judges who will occa
slnnally decide against corporations, allow us tc
suggest William M. Rapshcr. Lansford Record.
Hon. William M. Itapsher's candidacy for Su
premo Judgo appeals directly to the people.
With them, he has always been exceedingly
strong. Never In all his life lias he been in any
way connected with monopolies or engaged In
defending corporations In their greed for wealth
and pow er. His heart and sympathies are with
Uic common people and at ei cry opportunity has
his volco been eloquently raised in their behalf.
Kot la a demogogleal spirit, as so many do, but
actuatcd'by tho purest and most sincere motives.
Tho mention of his name for the ofllco Is very
layorably rccenrd. Wcatlicily Herald.
The numerous friends of W. M. Rapshcr, Rsq.,
district attorney for Cm bun county, have pro
posed his name for the consideration of the
Democratic State convention, as a candidate for
Judge of the" Supreme Court. Tho Democratic
party could not do better than to nominate Sir.
Rapsher.. He Is strong, politically, with the
mass ot the voters of both parties. Mr. Rapshcr
has no superior In legal knowledge, at the Car
bon county Rar. What he lacks In rlietuilcal
finish Is madenr bya sound knowledge of the
principles of law. ' We do not speak of Mr.
Rapsher as a party man. He would make an
honest, Impartial Judge for all the people and
we hope to to see Mm nominated. Mauch

Wm. M. Rapsher, a prominent member of the
Carbon county bar and an able law) it, will oc
presented by tho Democracy of that county to
the Stale Convention at Allentown, for the nomi
nation, of Judge of the Supremo" Court Mr.
Rapsher Is a lawyer ot high legal attainments;
He is qualllled, according to Democratic qualifi
cations, for such a position, which means that
he Is versed Inthe law, able, has Judicial capa
city equal to any requirements of the place, and
knows what tlio people intended when tluy
aaopieume present constitution. With a well
balanced, even and lust mind, the convention
would not go amiss in nominating the candidate
of the Carbon Democracy. Bcllfonte, I'a., Demo

At a- meeting of the Savannah, (Ga.)
Typographical Union, held recently"; strong
resolutions were passed "declaring that the
privilege of the press to a free and full ex
pression of opinion upon all matters of dal
ly concern should be unquestioned,unti-am
inelcd, and that any attempt of labor or
ganizations to interfere with the business
of any newspaper for the exercise of this
privilege should be condemned and cen
sured." It is pleasing to note this action
on the part of labor unions as it will lead
t a more free and open discussion of tho
interests of the laboring classes by all
newspapers. Following close upon the
above announcement comes the Informa
tion that Cardinal Gibbons will forbid all
Catholic membeis of the Knights of Labor
organization participating in boycotts or
infringements of any kind unon tho rights
of citizens. Thoro can ho no- doubt but
what the above measures if closely followed
out will result In much real and substantial
benefit to all classes of laborers. Let tho
good work go on I.

THROUGH THE POLITICAL HOROSCOPE.
Matters of a political nature seem to hold
the public mind most firmly at this time,
and although the nominating conventions
of the two great parties arc several months'
off the possibilities of tho aspiring candi
dates nro enthusiastically discussed by their
friends and followers. Borne weeks ago we
reviewed the political aspect of Carbon
county by a presentation or an enumeration
of the names of aspiring gentleiucn, desir
ous of holding county offices. Since that
1 1 mo 11. F. Ilrodhcad, of Packerton, an
earnest, hardworking Democrat, as well ns
an Intelligent and trustworthy gentleman,
has nnnounced through the columns of tho
Cauuon Akvooatb that circumstances
prevented htm from being n candidate for
that office, this Action; on the part of Sir.
Brodhcutd leaves; the field open to Dr. J. 0
Kncamcr, 'of Lower Towatncnslng, whose
name we have heard prominently men
tioned in connection with that office. The
doctor would undoubtedly make a capable
and efficient official, fnllllllng the duties
connected with the office, with credit to
himself and to tho full satisfaction of ttic
people. lie Is well and favorably known
throughout the county Slaving been sent to
the Legislature a lew years ago by a han.l-
ne majority. Tho Democracy will do
well to consider the doctor's candidacy.
For Register and Recorder the condition
ef affairs seem to remain unchanged.
Handwcrk is undoubtedly the favorite with
Republicans at this end of thecounty.whlie
his popularity )n the upper end insures him
a rcnomlnation, providing, of course, that
he-wants It. Ex-Sheriff Lentz, offcjaiich
Chunk, Francis McUiigh, of SummlL-pill
and Joseph De.Frehn, of this borouijb, pre.
nil uetnocrais oi wcii-Known sunny ami
Integrity. Tho latter gentleman Is well
known throughout the county aud If nom
inated and elected would undoubtedly fill
the ofllco with much credit. However, In
dications lead is to the belief that Sir.
Lentz will bo the Democratic- nominee,
from the fact that he ts well and popularly
known In all sections of the county, not
only as an earnest, hard-working Demo
crat, but also, as an honest and efficient
official.
For County, Commissioner there does not
at this time, seem to-be an over supply,
John Arncr, of Weissport, the present In
cumbent will, we understand, be a candi
date for rcnomlnation while Tilghman
Stelgcrn-alt, of East I'enn, finds much fav
or with Democrats all over (he countv. On
the Republican side of tho house we have,-
as yet, heard no names mentioned in con
nection with this latter office.

The New York Sfar has undertaken a
ycry laudable project, that of raising the
necessary $125,000 needed to complete the
Grant monument fund. Tho Star has the
best wishes of a patriotic country for sue
cess in Its undertaking. It is pleasing to
note that many prominent southerners are
contributing generously to -the fund; this
action on their part conclusively proves
that tho last shadow of southcran hatred
has died out. With no south, no north, no

Special to the Caiuiok Advocate,
In the Tery heart of the city, right among
the homes where Crresns swings his mil
lions, not a rifle-shot from the most famous
hotels on Manhattan Island,- surrounded
by the swellest of swell clubs, Is a ulagne
spot where Lalsr Aspaslaand I'hryne drive
their trade, and here, too, are the most
famous of these gilded hells far which our
city is famous. The tired tourist who has
exhausted the pleasures of Paris and Slon-
aco, can hero find solace and amusement
for in Captain Williams' precinct these for
bidden-pleasures thrive and flourish under
the protection of the law.
Captain Williams, In whose precinct this
piague spot is, a few years ago was a poor
man; unless common report does him great
Injustice, he is poor man no longer.
Aside from his salary, he has a respectable
private income which is Imperfectly justi
fied by the-reeelpts of his office. His prop
erty Is said to be worth oyer $100,000, and
people naturally ask how these fortunes
can be accumulated in a few yean from a
l'ollce Captain's salary. Captalu Williams
Is a sharp man a man whom criminals do
not like to run against. A few have tried
to brave his power, but vUgy have always,
had to regret it, add ills suspected that
this guardian of the'peace has Waxed fat
on tho wages of sin. One thing Is certain..
and iliat Is, that thero are more h-onscs of
questionable repute more vlto dens and
gambling liclls In Captain Alexanders.
Williams' precinct, than In hivy other'two
urcclucts in tho city of NeWlork; and
strange to state, with liundrrds of the Titlest
pollcchien at his back, ho never found-it'
out till Informed by tho attorney of the
Duslne&s Men's l'rotccttye Association. '
For years It lias been known that a regu
lar system of lilarkmail was in forcenmbng
the criminal classes, who, by the payment
of a certain portion of their earnings, se
cured Immunity from- punishment. ' Until
the past year It was impossible to organize
a raid upon a gambling house from Tolice
Headquarters, for In every Instance the
paid spies of the feamblcrs preceded tho of
ficers of the law. The llusttiess Sfen's As
sociation, wiioso families have been out

by ttic tolerance of these Infamies, bare
called Slayor Howltfs attention to the stale
of affairs' In Captain Williams' precinct,
and It now looks as If this celebrated po
liceman would have alf lib Ian do to cleat
his skirts. So 'far ho has been 'able to defy

A startling discovery was iriade this week
In the .arrest pf one Hare. Sir. Hare fig
ured as a first-class butler In a number of
swell, families; but wherever ho served he
left a remembrance, behind him. lie was
no common vulgar thief, stealing overcoats'
and silver spoonsrnet be. Nothing but
diamonds was his game,. and when ire took
the real gems he. always lift a substittita in
their place, and so clever was the imitation
n the case of a $2,000 pair of dlaniqud ear
drops that one of Tiffany's experts had to'
be, called in to detect the counterfeit. The
lady in question, took a pair of car-drops to
Tiffany & Co. for repair. They had beeu
purchased of the firm for $4,000. On ex
amination they . proved to be paste. The
lady 'was horrified, and Tiffany & Co. be
gan to feel very uncomfortable. Tho lady
had Tiffany & Cq.'s receipt In her pocket;
was it possible that that famous firm had
sold the lady's husband piste worth fifty
cents and bagged the other one thousand
nine hundred and ninety-nine dollars and
fifty cents, Such. a. thing was not to be
thought of; but thero were tho pasto ear
rings, and . there was Tiffany A Co.'s re
ceipt, and to cap tho climax the lady was
willing to swear that the cdr-rings had nev
er been out of her possession, neither had.
they oyer been repaired by any other jewel
er. The case looked awkward, to sav the
least. You will recollect somo tlmo ago I
gave an account of a fashionable lady who
took the .gems from her cars and gambled
them away in a little game of "draw,"
substituting paste instead. Tho husband.
got strapped and wanted to ralie a little
money on his wife's trinkets. So, taking
her ear-rings and pin to a pawnbroker, ho
found he could not raise enough on them
to buy an oyster stew. . .
The aid of Inspector BurnWs's cal'cd
for, and the Inspector can usually see as
far into a millstone as anybody else. Of
course any fraud on the part of Tiffany &
Co., was out of the question, and that a
change had taken place somewhere there
was not the slightest doubt. On Inquiry ft.
was found that a butlcrhad-becu employed
in the house, and somehow it leaked out
that he had been formerly a Jeweler. The
conclusion was Immediately jumped at that
he was the thief, and tho suspicion was
verified when another lady discovered that
paste had been- substituted for her dla-
monds, and she remembered that her but
ler, a very fascinating fellow, had left her
employ only a short time bcforeJThe do
tcctives;startcd in and found the gay butler
attending the races; wllcn cornered he
made a clean breast of'it, and aided the
officers In recovering tho stolen jewels. He
got a situation and as soon as he located
the jewel-case he would measure the stones
In the earrings, rings orpins, buy Imitation
stones of. exactly the same size, and while
the family were at meals extract the real
gems and put the bogus stones In their
places. But there Is an end to every tethe
however long, as the gay bu,tler found out
to his sorrow. lie confessed that he had
been in fifty-seven different families, now
many of these fair ladles sport paste'.car
rings at the opera?
A very amusing discovery wasmadc at
the Diocesan Convention at GawTan City
last week which made the reverend gentle-
men look rather glum. As all the world is
aware Judge Henry Hilton Is one of the
executors of the Stewart estate, and an im
portant factor in the estate is Garden City,
the site of the beautiful mausoleum under
which rest the ashes of Cornelia Stewart
alongside of the empty sarcophagus which
was intended to contain the' ashes of her
husband. The object dearest to her heart
was to make Garden City one of the grand
est Episcopal, centers- In- the country. Last
year the clergy met in convention-theie,
and after their exhaustive labors were in
vited to a dinner at the hotel. Bishop Lit
tlejohn and all the clergy attended, suppos
ing themselves to be the guests of theTrus-
tees of Garden City. Thoy had a first-class
time and returned to their homes delighted
with Judge Hilton's generous hospitality
but just as they were about to adjourn this
week a bill was presented from Judge 1111
ton for $300 for the dinner they had eaten
and forgotten over a year ago. Judge Hil
ton Is worth several millions ;many of those
millions have been made out of the Stewart
estate; It seems -rather a small thins to
present arlillr for'dinner to party of gen.
tlenien who supposed themselves his guests,
It may be regarded as the latest exhibition
of Hlltonlan thrift and ono that does him
verji little credit. To say that tho Convcn
,,i&n wm mad is drawing It very mild. The
clergy did not exactly Swear, but several
lelHIko it. pne said, "Gosh darn itr" and
another, "I swow," and it Is said tbeyseri-

litany of Garden City,- "From all stingy

A elrcrrmstonee occurred here this
which' recalls the attempted assassination
of Captain I'halen lrv O'Donoyan Rossa's
dingy office about two years ago. The
man who made the murderous assault was
well prepared fer his work. There was no
secrecy nbout it.. The murder was at
tempted lu open day and in the presence of
notorious dynamiters whose unsavory ante
cedents were written In fire and blood.
Captain Phalen, nearly ehopped to pieces,
reached the sidewalk, where he fell In a
pool of blood. For long days and nights he
lingered between life and death, and at last
confronted ids Intended assassin at the bar
of justice. The trial was brief; but to the
astonishment of the judgo and everybody
else but the jury, the red-handed assassin
was acquitted. For tho past year and a
half ho has been in the Cancer Hospital,
eaten up by disease and looking fearfully
upon inevitable death. Meanwhile hls(
wife and child are starving. O'Donovan
Rossa undertook to become the almoner of '
the Fenian Brotherhood's bounty. Ssyeral ,
htmdred dollars were collected for tho ben
eflt'of the tick man and his family, una O'
Donovan Itossn is' now accused of mating
ft good' share" of It In his own -pocket at
-any" rftlo tho beneficiary never got it, oh
though tho wife of tltcstck man with her
starving baby tn Iter arms appeals to htm
for money'" As long as O'Donoyan could
draw on Ignorant servant girls to swell the
dvTiamlto fund he had a good time, but
'si Aco the Fenian Brotherhood have kicked
'lifm' out ho looks rather seedy, and It now
flocks as though ho might bo reduced to the
patriot's last dire alternatives: Open a sa
loon, go to work, or die.
DecoTsfion Day opened gloriously. 1 ho
air was dellclously cool just srich ah at
mosphere as made the old 'soldiers feel like
mWe'hlng, and thoy sprangfto tho quick
steps they did In 1801, when they went
out to battle for the Uriforr. In New York
and Brooklyn the display exceeded any
Slemorlnl celebration of former years. As
the ranks thin out It seems as If the ardor
of tho people irieTcases, and there Is a gen
eral fllstvoslfron' tm the part of every one to
make'Dcora'tlonTJay tire sacred holiday of
the year. "
The presence "of General Sherman, Gen
eral DouuiWfAy, with a nnmber of oilier
dhntfgUtshed 'soldiers, and the Governor
of tho' Slatc and his staff, ndded greatly to
the Interest of the occasion. It only scents
like the other day since Generals Grant,
SfcChlUn, nancock and 'Logan were all
hero to take part In ttre celebration. , Their
places are 1 scant now, and the ranks ef
the bid veterans are 'thinning tost. In the
line were inaiiy -of the' old tattered battle
flags, the slgllt ef wtilofi's'tlrred'ttiejie'arts
of thousands lilong"ihe -way to the wildest!
enthusiasm. All dav Suttdar Mid the fol-
loWfopf'SIortday, thousands' uponlhousttnds
maderaatred pilgrimage to Grijcnwpdd to
deeorate' the graves of our'' Sono'fed dead.
Greenwood never looked so lortly. Death
Is robbed of all its terrors In such a-beauti
ful and quiet resting-place. Among the
soldiers whs sleep there, all did not fight
on the Union side. Iir the dells and on
the hill-sides are numerous graves of the
Confederate dead. Not onb was forgotten
on Slonday last.. Flous and loving hands
performed a stster's and a mother's part jn
strewing their graves with flowers- In
looking over the graves of these Confeder
ate dead, the saddest portion of the record
was their age eighteen;, nineteen and
twenty; the oldest I saw was only twenty-
six. The lesson of the day sank deep into
all hearts, rooting deep the love of the
Union- which was purchased at such' a ter
rible sacrifice.
