Theiik are but fsW observers of political events in tills country who will not freely admit that slnco the.prcsldchliai election of 1S81 an clement has developed In American politics, tho result of whh.li Is beyond tho calculation of the wisest politician. The Democratic admlulstratlon has been true to most of Its pledges mado in convention not quite throe yoars ago, ami unprejudiced and.unblased indivldualsof all parties must gtvo to the administration the -credit of be ing honest, business llko and correct In the dispensation of public affairs, yet regardless of this fact,-the Union Labor party has found an exist enco and stands, now.threat- enlng tho two older parties, by Its adoption oi "ais round" platforms, that suit every class and calibre of voters. Tho Union Labor party lias come; when will It go? The Carbort county Democracy is just now being treated to a conglomeration of dylcebythe Maucli Chunk Democrut as to whom it shall put in nomination at the ccmlnc! county convention In order to iu- Biird success at tho polls next November. If we mistake not the Democrat has more than once played the rolo of philanthropist Hi -order to gain tho ends for which it so avariciously aspired for its own good and not the aooi) of tho party In cencral. Wo feel inclined to tho -belief that tho Demo cracy of Carbon, in censlderatlon of the importance of the coming fall elections-will not act unwisely in tho selection of candi dates for the several county ofllces the Democrat advice and brawling neverthe less. Wu would be pleased to see our energetic, cntetprisins and go-a-hoad citizens organize Ihcmsolvcs into a Board of Trade. At White Haven such a Hoard was organized somctlmo ago, and by an untiring energy that body has worked out a wondorful revolution. in tlio business affairs of that borough ; Weathcrly also has a Board of Trado that is a credit to the town : Allcu- town owes much of its prosperity to a body of men organized for the purposo of fur thering the Interests of tho city, and so on through tho whole list of towns and cities whero Board of Trade organizations have been Instituted wo see a healthy and pros- prous condition of affairs. For this reason Lehlghton should have a Boaid of Trade. Organize. Timrsn Is an opportunity In tho field of polities for tlio young men. Lot them come out. With new Ideas and principles of reform thoy are bound to succeed. It was the young men tho young and stcrl ng Democracy that elected l'attlson gov crnor of Pennsylvania and-Cleyoland presf- dent of the United States.- Thcro Is no avocation in life w hero they can workout as multitudinous and lasting changes as by the ballot. It is. the duty of the young voters to work out tlio changes which lead to a complete reform in affairs leslsla- Hon of Isatlon, State and Borough. Let them get to work. As tho CAituosr Advocate predicted the water question, so far as it relates to tho borough erecting works aud controlling tho same, was defeated Saturday. It is now In order for council to tuako tho necessary ar rangements with the parties who have ox pressed a desire to put 'water in tlio bor ough, so that thoy can get to work and give tho towu a first-class water supply at an early day. The growing necessities of the town make It feasible for the Introduction of water either by Lehlghton citizens or "outsiders." The Advocate, backed by every taxpayer in tho town, says, let there be water. " iTft'Unltod Labor party convention held recently In Ohio tho following, resolutions wero unanimously agreed to: We uokUb&t all- Inequality of conditions riling under and mads possible by the present economic system spring from the monopolization by the-few of the natural opportunities wbieh aro the commen rights f all; ami, -therefore 1. We demand the' abolition of all taxa tion on Improvements and the products of iddustry, and wo advocate the raising of all puhlietrcvenuo by a single tax upon land Tallies,, thus, preventing- the' holding of tracts of unused laud and taking from the general benefit those values which are created solely by the srowth of population. 2. -As a logical sequence to tho above we ldvocate.govtrnmcntal contiol of railways, telegraphs, telephones and other means of distribution and communication that arc in their nature monopolies. 8. Wo further advocate a reform In our flical system by which our medium of ex change-shall issuo direct from tho gcncial government. To tho superficial oVsorycr It might ap pear that Henry George had given up his popular theory of land confiscation and compromised with the expressed deafteln train "Control of railways, telegraphs, tele phones--and other moans of distribution and communication which are In their na- turo monopolies." Cotisulerln? the fact that B-gOTermnentalcontrol of corporations would create thousands of new ofllces the above policy must ccitalnly become popular amongst disappointed politicians. inn "liolo" Is evidently yearning for Tuttle and Falrchlld Judging from the fol- lowlng-compllmcntarv remarks by Mayor Francis, of St. Louis, who with a delega tion of fifty of' Missouri's best citizen ap peared before rrcslilcnt Cleveland Monday and formally Invited tho President and his wife to be present at the (1. A. It. encamp ment In tho former city: "This Inyltalion emanates from- the peo ple, your sovereign and ours, ond not from any organization, civil or military, political or rellulous. It is tho spontaneous out burst of a community that never suffers Its reputation for hospitality to be aspersed. It is a vigorous and feeling protest from n generous host against the absolute declina tion of a distinguished i;uet to be the cen tral figure of an invited company. Tlio reasons why you should visit the west uie even stronger now than on tho formvr oc casion, when your reply was a foruble one, whether valued from our stand polut or your own." Foil our "temerity," as ono of the na bobs who plays the "spirit" role behind the scenes of borough legislation aptly pats it, the Cahhox Anvoi ate has been boy cotted by the ton n council, jitst eo far .is u Otrn 6taunch old Democratic friend, T. W. Stelgcrwalt, of East Penn, annouuecs himself as a candidate for the nomination of County Commissioner, subject to the rules of the Democratic nominating con vention. Mr. Stclgerwalt is a life-long Jcuorsonian democrat, possessing all the essential qualifications necessary to make an honest, faithful and capable public ser vant. The nomination of Mr. Stelgerwalt by the Democratic county convention will rellcct much credit on tho Democratic party of this county, and bo a just recogni tion of ability and worth. bout fifty years Rgo there flourished in 'ew York an actor by tho name of Mitcli cl!,.and a most excellent actor ho was, a low comudtait, who contilvcd to hold his own, in a number of specialties at a lime when Tom Hadaway, Charley Burke, Wil liam IT. Burton and the Placide Brothers wore on tho Now Torkslacc. A favorlto character of Mr. Mitchell's was Jem Bags, a wandering minstrel, who played most villainously on a cracked clarionet. Ills stiong point was to find a quiet neighbor hood, where some one was sick, and ho generally made it so lively for the Inhabi tants of that particular locality that they were glad to purchase his departure by a good round donation. On one occasion, a ady threw him a few pennies; ho Indig nantly threw them back, saying, "I never moyes for less than a Hp." Iam reminded of this by tho present posltien of the Sal vation Army -of "Brooklyn. Iam not pre pared to -say that tho City of Churches is more given to the world, the flesh and tlie devil, than wo arein this side of the river; But cei tain it is that titers aTe two grand divisions of tlio Salvation Army in our sis ter city, one subject to the Lord High Executioner Booth of Ilcr Majesties Do minions, and the other under command of Major Moore, formerly a subject of tlio Empress of India, but now rejoicing in the fact of Ills lielng a member of the ltoy.il Family of tho United States, with due right of succession to tlio throne for any of his children born under the stars and stripes, -and no bar between himself and any oftico howover hla.li except tlio Presi. dency; aud that Is only a minor loss to a man who rejoices in tlio title of Tycoon of the American branch of the Salvation llarmy. J Major Mooro was sent out byQcu. Booth some years ago withahandsomecontingent. of Hallelujah lasses'; who, with tambourine, bones, banjos, fifes, drums, cornets and bassoons, presented the gospel, a shape which had the attraction of novolty, if not sanctity. It did not take Major Mooro very long to discover that lie could garner slicckels wlilcli he gathered in the namo of the Lord and disposo of them on this side of the At lantic to much better advantago than send ing them to England, and tlie result was a second declaration .of American Independ ence. Ash Barrel Jimmy. Halleluiah Mary, Tambourine Sally, Red Headed Mike, Banjo Charley and Butcher Bill, went ff with the revolutionists; but Captain Maria Brown, Lieutenant Tilly Holdfast, Fancy Dick the bassoon player, and one-legged Johnny tho flfor, remained truo to tho Bootli contingent. As Lieutenant Tilly expressed it, "She hoed 'er halleganco to the Harray on the bother sido of Uie wa ter." Tho American saints say that General Booth is gobbling all the funds and wants to bo Pope. And General Bootli declares that tho Devil has full possession of.tho American contingent, and that all truo be lievers should treat them as heathens and publicans. Their first permanent foothold in Brook lyn was over a stable, and for sovoral months they made it very lively for the horses. At last they found a church whoso congregation had built a moro pretentious temple, and who wcro anxious to disposo of the old homo, tho price was agreed up on, a thousand dollars cash down, and the est on mortgage at six per cent. The ar my moved in, had a jubilee, and it was a jubilee, I assuro you; delegations camo from far and near; they had an all night walch meeting, and the saint who attended to the bass drum saw to it that nono of the watchers got to sleep about the gates oi ZIon, While tho spiritual feast was In pro gross, tlie carnal man was not forgotten ; corned beef sandwiches, hard boiled eggs and other oriental delicacies, sustained their severely taxed powers; while lemon ade, coffee, tea, sarsaparilla, soda, com pleted tlie feast of reasou, and if not the flow of soul. Tho neighborhood was one of the most aristocratic in Brooklyn, and it was not long before every man, woman and child for blocks around were up in arms, and various plans were discussed for tlie army's annihilation. Somesald that Bough on Hats might with propriety be introduced in tlie jubilee supper; while others thought if a Gattllng gun could be borrowed from the armory and trained on the door when the congregation was cominc out that per haps It mlgh scarcely a titho Of tho suffcrlngof this heat, edterm. In tlib Seventeenth rvaid alono is the population of a mighty city, and in some of tho tenement houses a hundred and fifty or two hundred people ro lilyctl to gether like bees. .Eight or ten iicoplo have been found Hying in a single rootn-'-eatlng, diinklng, wbiklng and sleeping; no one can imagine the horror of such ti life who has not seen It, And It is right hen! that blessed charity steps In to give these wretched ones a breath of free air on tlie lulls and in tho vnlloyii far away from New York, or along the sands by the seashore, Where the frco breath of heaven rolls over the salt waves, giving llfo and joy and hap piness. Dally I meet those sainted women down In the slums gathering up the ragged, unkempt children of tho poor for a two weeks trip to tho green fields or tho seaside home. -Sometimes Ihti mother goes witli her children, but thousands of them are In charuc of tlie matrons provided by the dif ferent associations, though frequently some charitable lady assumes the task, and no mother ever exhibited greater solicitude for her own children than sho docs for those mlsoiablo little waifs. It Is a blessed work, and ono that will earn forevery one of them a crown of glory. Here is a tough nut for psychologists to crack. I have no remarks to make, but here ate the simple facts: On Friday last Mr. Alfred B. Hill, Vice President of thoNsw York Stock Exchange Cot up to announce Uie death of Mr. Man uel E. dc liivas. He had scarcely made the announcement when he descended to the floor and fell Into a scat; his fellow -members hurried about htm; but in a few moments ho was dead. Now here is tlie singular part of tlw storyl Mr. Hill was very friendly with the Key. Itobert Collyor, and in conversation with him some time ago remarked that if ills mother died lie would not long survive her, and If ver he was compelled to announce the death of a; fellow-bclug it would be liis own death warrant. Ho received the news of his mother's death on -July lit, and on Friday be was requested to announce tlio death of Mr. Itivas. Before goln.t; on tlia rostrum to make the announcement he went to sev eral members and begged tlrem to make the announcement for him; they all re fused; ho then stepped up on the rostrum himself, made the aunouueemeut in a full firm voice, and descending reached tho floor and fell dead. Our Brooklyn neighbors liava been se verely tried this week in their elevated railroad system. Tho engineers and fire men struck at an hour's notice, when trav el was at Its height, demandine the dis charge of tho master mechanic, Mr. Ball, under tlio penalty of a tfe up. Tire com pany rofuscd to discharge the man, and the engineers and firemen left. They had no doubt of their success. But the company went to work and put hevv men in their places, and now tlio wlrolo body are thrown out of work, with tho absoluto certainty that not one of them will ever be employed ou the Brooklyn elevated road again. The men had a life job.wilh good pay, and thoy voluntarily abandoned it, and it is safe to say from tho terrible lesson they have learned that there will be no more strikes on the Brooklyn elevated roads. Now that wo havo disposed of Jacob Sharp wo are fairly pntltled to a rest. For a short speech, delivered with the coolness of an iceberg, Judge Barrett's arraignment of Jacob Sharp Is almost without a parallel In criminal nnnals. Tho simple fact, that whilo begging for mercy, the aged criminal had never offered to inako restitution of any of his ill-gotten millions, told fearfully against him. His scutcnco of four ycais will be commuted to three by good conduct, but If he had eyer anticipated conviction lie never would have stood trial. Another of these miserable affairs which unfortunately have not been uuftcqucnt of late occurred here this week. A young Hungarian came to this country a few Years ago, and seme months since ho sent for his sweetheart to jola him, he"knew she had a few hundred dollars, so that it cost him nothing to get her out here, and ho calculated on getting possession of her lit tlo fortune. He met her on her arrival, and they wcro to be married forthwith, The girl hired some rooms and furnished them with her own money. She got every thing ready, and on the evening of tho marriago the priest came to perform the ceremony, a few friends were also present, but tho groom never came. For such a crime there Is no punishment but the whip ping post, and I should like a good stout woman to bo the executioner. Such a a mean spirited cur deserves no mercy.

From our Special Correspondent. Washington, D. C, July 25, '87. Mil. Editoii: Tho officials at tho Signal Servico Bureau report that with but a single exception, Monday last was the hottest day that has been experienced in Washington since that Bureau has been in existence. At mid-day thermometers in various parts of the city indicated the temperature to be from 100 to 107 degrees, while a thermome ter placed upon the aspblt pavement and exposed to the rays of tho sun registered 184 degrees. This oxtreme heat resulted in tho almost universal suspension of work upon buildings In course of construction, aud in several of tlie Departments .the clerks were dismissed at an early hour for the day. Although there wore numerous Instances In winch persons were overcome by tho heat, there were but few cases which resulted fatally. Fortunately tlio extremely high temperature, was of short duration, anil was succeded by a cool waye which rendered life much more enjoyable. The work upon the new terraces and the magnificent staircase at tlie west front of the Capitol is being pushed forward as rapidly as possible, tho only Intel ruptlou being that occasioned by the excessively hot weather. Tho work has reached that point which renders It necessary to remove the fountain as well as tho oval fish pond whlcli it will bo remembered occupied the space between the old stair-case wings. The old fountain and bailn, together with the beautiful gold fish which for many years havo beon admired by visitors, who have rarely passed the basin without stop ping for a moment to admire tho countless bits of animated gold, as they darted about in clear water of the basin, will bo removed to the giounds of the National Insane Asy. lum near the tlie city. It is said at the State Department that the number of Americans who have left this countiy for Europe has never before been equalled In tlio history of tho Depart ment. It Is estimated that 25,000 tourists havo sailed from the United States since the first of April. The records of the de partment show that mere tbau four thoiii. and passports weu issued during the months of April, May, June and the early part of July, and more than four-fifths of of tho tourists sail without passjiurts.
