Years rolled prevent It, says an eminent Republican authority, will be a financial panic such as this country has never yet experienced. The mixers auk still out in the Le- hlgh coal reglon.and although the eleventh week of the strike has passed they are as persistently determined as ever to accept the girl's mother appeared lu court to back up on and the antiquated roue heard death knock ing at his door. When his brother died Charles had Inherited all his fortune and when Charles had died, the direct line was ended, and what remained ot his property was supposed to go to his collateral relations. When the application for an administrator was made, a very charming young lady appeared In court, claiming that she was Count Cheesboro's daughter, and this week no concession that Is not up to the full re- qniiements of the demand made oyer two months ago. Tho ultimate result of this disagreement between operator and miner will be a complication of all business enter- her daughter's suit, and swore point blank that the young lady In question was the veritable daughter ot the Count, and she knew It. As I mentioned at the beginning of this letter she did not pretend that any ceremony had ever been performed, but she considered herself his prises In tho Lehigh Valley If much longer wtfe ai the same, and being asked what she did prolonged. Already apprehensions are en- after she left the Count she replied that shehad terlalned by many In this vicinity that the Lehigh Valley Company will shut down the Packerton car shops, for what reason, and with what lesult is obvious to our readers. We hope the tumor will prove to be without foundation or fact .for a suspen- found another gentleman, a Southern planter, whom she adopted as a husband, -with as little ceremony as she did Count Cheesboro. There Is considerable money Involved In the fight, and the lawyers are by no means anxious to have the battle decided as long as a dollar remains. Another queer case Is that of an old and re slon at this time would prove lamentable spected merchant named Tatrlck Flnerty.whose to the employes of the shops many of whom with large families and much advers ity have been unable to lay by for a rainy day a sufficiency of the necessary to tide then! oyer several' months suspension. The coal bahoxs recently held a meeting, says the Newburg, N. Y., Regis ter. and resolved that they would put their hands in the pockets of the people and help themselves to a few millions by advancing the price of coal. To the poor working- man who lias to pay an increased price for this necessi'y the question naturally arises "by what authority do these monopolists rob us?" And when he investigates the subject he finds that they do as they pleast, because they have the protection of a high tariff upon coal, under the guise of an "In fant Industry" needing the fostering care of a protective tariff, and the question na turally arises, "Who is protected?" To a man who has to pay an increased price up on an article of necessity whenever it suits the whim of a dozen men the answer is an easy'one. The day of judgment for these public plunderers Is not far distant. LEIIiailTOX HAS ADyANCED WITn VVOJT- derotis strides during the past few years but there Is yet much to be done before our borough can be truly classed as a substan tlal self-supporting town. Tliero are but few of our citlzeus who do not fully under stand this, and the too, will soon recog- nlze the all-important fact that unless manufacturing enterprises are located here the borough w 111 soon be at a standstill. There Is no denying the fact that Lehigh ton possesses unequalled facilities for man ufacturing purposes, and we Incline to the belief that If a live Board of Trade were to take the welfare of this borough into heir hands, parties contemplating entering Into an ludust.tal business could be prevailed upon to locate here. Suppose our live and progressive citizens make a move In this matter. UKStOCBATIC NEWSPAPERS IN THE State of New Jersey are rnuch nonplussed at the matter of fact manner In which Re publicans of that State managed to secure a majority of the big offices Senate and legislature, une ot our esteemed con temporaries, the Dover N. J.. Index, re- marks that the Jersey "leaders must have been very sleepy, ' and asks "where was McPlierson, Abbet. Green, Kelsey, Little, Krueger and the rest?" At this distance we Incline to the belief that they were In dulging In an adjustment of personal polit ical matters, with what result Is obvious. loving relatives insist on putting him Into a luii atic asylum. It appears, the old gentleman, who Is now about eighty, had the misfortune to ac cumulate bv constant Industry and thrift, eighty or a hundred thousand dollars. Ills wife died a few years ago, and having no children he was left almost entirely alone. He-gave up his house on the death of his wife, and went to live In the back of his store on Vesey street seeking occas ional recreation In tho family of a friend whom he had known for many years. As soon as some if his fifteenth cousins found out that he had nouey they began to be worried for fear tho old fool might make away with It all, before they nuw get a hack at It, so they applied to the courts to have his mental condition Inquired In to. The old man fled and took refuge with the friends, who li;ul shown him the only friendship i had everjknown since the death of his wife. rheythen tried to have the friends arrested for keeping the old man under restraint; but he personally appeared in com t and swore that he went to his friends for protection, and because he wished to escape tho brutality of his so-called relatives. Now that the old man has been pro nounced perfectly sane by the courts It Is a fair presumption that the cousins, who tried to put him in a lunatic asylum will not get much of his cash, but It will all go to the fifteen year old laughter of his friend who suddenly finds her self a very desirable heiress. I mentioned laslV-eek that Henry Irving with Ellen Terryaud his English companvhadopened at the Star. As an acting piece, Faust has not astonished the town, but as a spectacle it Is un surpassed by any drama yet produced here. The Improved effects which the electric and hy- droxygen lights rended possible, geatiy enhance the weird beauty of tho scenes, many of which are masterpieces of scenic art. Whether It Is that the part does not fit him. Mr. Irvlng's Mephlstopheles fell flat; the only character In the whole play which seemed to rise above mediocrity was Ellen Terry's Marguereto. Hut while there Is no striking greatness anywhere tliero Is absolute goodness everywhere. It is not a performance of a star w ith a lot of slicks, but '.he smallest character Is an actor, and the result Is a universal harmony which makes the play a moderate success. Many people are com paring Mr. In lug's performance of Mephlstophe les with his Louis theXIth orMathiasln The hells. It Is Impossible to Institute such a com parison justly; we havo built up our conception of Goethe's Incarnate devil from the operatic re presentatives of Gonoud's brilliant opera rather than from the story of Goethe. Mr Irving has evidently done In this instance what he has done In many others that is, lie has discarded. old time traditions, aul when the public shall conic fully to understand him. they may yet consider it one of the noblest interpretations of that char acter given to the American stage. Nevsirwas Ferdinand Ward's eI example more pronounced than now. Scarcely a week passes but wo Bud some young men In a bank or other responsible position trying to rival that gigantic swindler. This week it Is Latimer E. Jones, and a tougher case of genuine moral obliquity has seldom been seen. It Is bad enough for a man to forge and steal and lie, but when he brings himself to rellgously believe that lying and stealing are the proper things to do. his case Is hopeless. This appears to be the ease with Latimer E. Jones, He is well convinced, so he says, that people don't get rich now-a-days lu the old fashioned plodding way so he takes the short cut ot swindling, aud lands lu States prison at twenty-seven. Come.younggeutlemen, devote an hour or two to out of door exercise every ofternoon. A large majority ot the Members of Congress ore lu town, and others are arriving dally. The streets and hotel lobbies are filled with strangers and the National Capitol has assumed the gen erally animated appearance characteristic of the city during the time that Congress Is In session. The Members who have arrived In tho city are busy In arranging the details of the coming con test over the organization of the House, it i expected that as usual, the most stubborn fight will be made over the selection of a doorkeeper, Although Mr. Doneleon, the present Incumbent. Is a candidate for re-election, It l general! thought that he will be defeated, owing to the numerous enemies that he has made In distribut ing the patronage of his office. Mr. Asher Bar- nett, of New York, who at the present time Is In eharge of the law library of the House. Is among the most active candidates lor the place, though there seems to be but little chanco of lib securing the prize, as It Is generally conceded that the door-keepershlp will go to the South NewiYork also has a prominent candidate for the lerkshlp of the House. In the person ot William Italnes, ot Itochester, a brother oCState Senator Raines. It Is said that Mr. Italnes w 111 enter the contest with the entire New York delegation at his back, and that he will also have a number ot New England and Western Members. Gossip In social circles Is quite animated tiverj the quiet ana unexpected marriage oi miss us nnne Bancroft, the granddaughter of Mr. George Bancroft the historian, to Mr. Charles Carrol), son of ex-Governor Carroll, of Maryland. It had been generally believed that the young lady was soon to be married to a prominent mem ber of the diplomatic corps, and the announce ment of her marriage to Mr. Carroll was a gen eral surprise. On Wednesday morning she left her grandfathers house with Mr. Carroll, osten sibly for a walk, but lustead, they took the train for Baltimore, where they were quietly married. There has been an unusual number of office seekers In the various departments ot late. There seems to be a general Impression prevalent among the army of aspirants for desks In the de partments that there are numerous removcls every pay day, and that by being present to sup ply the emergency they will be likely to secure a position. The rooms of the various appoint ment clerks are crowded upon those days. Of course nothing can be done but to refer the ap plicants to the civil-service commission, Noth ing daunts them however, and with each succes sive pay day, the same familiar faces appear, with the same anxious and hopeful expression upon their faces. It Is probable that the citizens of Washington will soon score a victory In their contest with the railroad companies, and that the various companies will be compelled to remove their tracks from the streets which they have persist ed In occupying. The Commissioners of the Dis trict, have prepared a report upon the subject, which they will present to Congress, in which they recommend tlio establishment of a union depot at the Intersection of Marjland and Vir ginia Avenues, to be reached hy the railroads by means of tunnels beneath tho city. It Is said that the Democratic Congressmen have been making Inquires regarding tho gov ernment employees who are known to have worked In the Interest of the ltepubllcan party during the recent campaign, and that some ot them have furnished the heads of Departments w Ith lists of the clerks who were the most active Republicans, aud it Is Intimated that the per sons whose names appear upon the lists will be discriminated against when It may be found nec' essary to reduce the force In any of the Depart ment. H- and attire of those days Is fast approaching. Only five more weeks when tho main streets ot Philadelphia will bo one guady show and em bellishment so symbolic, of this season. Block after block, windows and doors trimmed, with laurels, tokens and alluring articles emblematic ot Christmas and Now Year's day. These are sights and views worth seeing; Impressive of the happiness and good will Intended and designed. It is not only this but It means business for all tradesmen. From now until the 1st of January, 1SS8 wilt bo far the busiest part of the year In business circles. How many happy and hoiftful anticipations and how many dire disappoint ments are Involved In these things for all shades of people, no one knows. Geo, F. Parker, a prominent Philadelphia Journalist and red hot Democrat has beenselect ed for managing editor of the New York Pre, a new ltepubllcan paper lately organized there by Frank Hatton, It. V. Porter et.nl. to sound the praises ot protection and the Republican party. It is rather a peculiarity to have a red hot Democrat conduct and manage an equally red hot Republican hewsDapcr. While It Is a novel thing, yet the projectors knew what they were after when Farker was selected for this responsible position. He Is an active and one of the most brilliant and bright newspaper men In Philadelphia. He will certainly Inject vim abili ty and Success Into the new enterprise. Good, able men are always In demand. Hon. Dallas Sanders, chairman ot the Demo cratic Stato Committee, has been very much criticised for bis management ot the late State campaign, This criticism and fault finding Is unjust because Sanders was as active and earn est In pushing the cause of Democracy as any other Democrat, If a chairman, could have been He did all In his official capacity that any man could have done. He urged upon all county or ganizations the Importance of an active local campaign; the duty Involved in such a "home rule" contest. In his method of campaigning Is the only true way of successfully managing a po litical fight. He certainly could not go Into every county and election district of the State to urge the voters to go to the polls. Tins duty per tained to tho auxllllary committees and If they failed to do their work then tho State organiza tion cannot be held Justly responsible for the de feat of McGrann ahd Thompson. To repeat the criticism and fault finding Is unjust and nnfalr, It Is the work of factionallsls and therefore de serves need, for It Is only Intended to grind axes for such. This hue and cry agalust Sanders will avail nothing. Ills re-election Is suro. Philadelphia has In Its midst two victims of that terrible malady leprosy mother and daugh ter. They have been living In Hilladeiphla for two years past but were not discovered until a very short time age. Their lives ever since in this city has been that of seclusion. The disease was attained In Brazil and has been lurking tn tho system of the mother for four years. Toor belngs.lneVltable death staring them In the face, Horrors, how fearful and terrible such a thing Is. They are now quartered In the pest house of the Philadelphia Hospital. All alone In a simple solitary rogm, where, unless transferred to some other land, they must remain until the dread messenger, the sure outcome of leprosy for it Is Incurable death will overtake them. Commis eration and pity Is their only lot. The coal strike In the Lehigh reglou Is a bad thing tor Philadelphia. It has been the means of driving coal up to SG.CO per ton. This Is a steep prlco to pay for so necessary a commodity as coal. It Is the hope that tho trouble existing between miner and operator will speedily be ad- Justed so as to be satisfactory to all concerned. To take pity on some poor mouthed fellow and share bed and table with him In a spirit of char ity Is commendable, but to bo robbed by the beneficiary Is damnable. But Just such a case Is In view. It happened S iturday night, Nov. 19; a veil disposed and kind hearted actor met a poor fellow who claimed he was poor and hungry and itnew not where to lay his head that night; the actor tn his pity bought the beggar Ingrate a supperuud shared his bed with him. Well, Sun day morning when the actor awoke the guest was gouo with a good suit and money not be longing to nlm. Tho poor actor was compelled to borrow a suit for Sunday In which he appeared all out of sorts. -Jigjg Snyder 4 Son's 0 PLAPLL!

The largest share of this surplus has been drawn from the duties on imports, and this fact affords to Congress a signifi cant hint where to apply the knife of fiscal reform. THE TRADE DOLLAR ACCOUNT, WniCH Is now closed, shows that 7,089,030 trade dollars were redeemed out of a total coin age of $35,000,000. In yiew of the very considerable profit afforded by the specu lation, it is surprising that so small a num ber of the trades could have been found in the country or could haye been enticed in to it from China afler the bill for their re demption had been passed.

Fitler has been trampled upon. He Is .Mayor ot this townjas an executor he will brook no Insult or permit nothing to Interfere with his personal acts. It Is too bad. When August Schell was running as John Kellcy's candidate for Mayor of New York City, some ten years ago, the shining Sun declared that "No king or clown shall rule this town." It was the slogan that beat Schell, but Philadelphia was not so fortunate, for it has a veritable "king and clown. That Is the kingship Is run against by his majesty but the clownshtp Is real. The hor ror ot his excellency was aroused on Saturday, the 19th Inst., when a poor teamster was follow- lowing, at a proper distance, a street car. and accidentally came In close proximity with th dignified Fitler. This was too much, for ins tan ter the outraged (humph) official violently aud brutally rained atorrent of blows with his cane upon the poor beast, the horse. Thus Fitler act ed, but lo, the teamster, by name, Kew. like a flash of lightning dismounted and assumed the attitude ot putting a pair ot highly colored rims around the goggles ot the "clown of the town. This deserved treatment would havo been ac- corked but tor the untimely Interference ot some spectators who heard the assaulted cry out to Kerr "I am the Mayor of this city." Kerr was equal to the occasion and al lowed to h with the Mayor, He thought more ot the horse than the Mayor, and right he was. This Is not tho first time that his honor has demeaned himself thus. Ever since he nas been Mayor he has been doing things that have made him the laughing stock ot the city; receiving the curses and approbriums of the majority of tho people. His course has proved a dire misfortune to the party that elected him; his official acts as exe cuted by Wagner and titokely have Interfered with the Interest and welfare of a great portion of the business people. It remained for him to resusltate all the blue laws of puritanical enact ment and enforce them against creditable citi zens and business people. His official acts throughout seem to have been characterized ti the same haughtiness and "I am the Mayor of this city" as the Market street Incident devel oped. Under this administration Philadelphia Is tn straight jackets. Do anything that Is not ust within the scope of the old blue laws and damn It a blue coat policeman pouuees upon you. Fitler Is a thoroughly damned man, and It he will ever be Mayor again It will not be his fault. The Carbon Advocate deserves the hearty cengratidations of its many patrons upon the ad vancement shown and made by It lu the last fif teen years. It has been eminently successful and deserves the patronage and commendation that has so long favored It. It is always spicy want to be Jay Goulds and Vanderbits, sail In there are a few more cells vacant at Sing Sing, Auburn and Dannemara they are waiting for you, and when going In you may read oier the door the motto you might nave studied with pleasure and profit In Wall street Honesty Is tho best policy. It was not to be expected that New Yoik would uscape the effect of the Chicago executions, so we were treated to a mourning procession on Friday nlghtj but considering tho numbers engaged In It, It was of the mildest sort, In short, the tiger did not dare to show his claws; for police lined the streetr, and notice was served uponthem that any Infraction of the law would bring down vengeance uponthelr heads; so the affair oft without any serious disturbance. But the Sunday night following, braced up with Bock beer and Schnapps, their valor increased. and that universal nuisance, Herr John Most, let himself loose. This cowardly poltroon, who always gets out of the way wherever there Is danger, made frantic appeals to have somebody revenge their brethren. Where was he last Friday? Why did he not lead on the band of avengers at Chicago? That Is not the kind ot patriot he Is. When he was sent to the, peni tentiary last time, he was captured hldlng'under the bed ot a courtezan, named Lena Fischer. His threats of coming vengance were terrible, The seveiest punishment that could be Inflicted on Most would be to make him wash himself, and put on a clean shirt. If this was his sen tence, even the gallows would haye no further terrors for him. His followers aud friends are an unsavory crowd.
