TlIERE IS NO MATERIAL CHANOE TO UK reported In the great strike. Tho miners In the Lehigh region have been out almost flvo months, and the only noticeable result of the continued strlko Is the business paralysis throughout tha entire Lehigh Valley. As jflt they haye failed to gain a single advantage oyer the plutocratic coal barons, unless, Indeed, we may call their determination to hold out against the com bined Intrigues of corporative power ar advantage. The strlko on the Reading system and in the Schuylkill region have done much to injure the prospects of the Lehigh strikers; contributions have been cnt short and if reports are true, there Is .mnch real suffering, and In some cases, ac tual want for tho necessities of living, among Ihe miners and their families. If true, there is no question but what the operators .will take undue advantage of their condition and the cause for which they haye held out so valiantly will be Jost. This can be but tho logical sequenco to the fatal blunder of the leaders in the strlko on the Heading system, Labor journals acknowledge this and say eyen should tho strike be unsuccessful and the men go back to work at the old wages.there will be muttering and discontent, only ending when once again the miners in the Pennsylvania coal region go out to stay until corporative powers acknowledge the supremacy of the laboring classes and their right to a legitimate share of the profits resulting from their labors. Tho Reading officials emphatically rctnso to arbitrage the present difficulty, and so the strike stands bloated and bonded corporate powers on one hand and half starved min ers on the other, which appeals mosttoth better sentiment of man, the miners or the corporations? "Dana, op the N. T. Sun, takes as ' kindly to the Dill boom as a duck takes to water. PARTISAN HEWSPAPEnS 'WILL PLAY their respective parts in the campaign of 1888, as tho Interests of party demand, but the raridly growing intelligence of our peo ple makes an independent newspaper an lndlspenslble necessity with them, as it soon will be with all classes. The Carbon Advocate will, during the coming politi cal campaign, which gives promises of be ing the most exciting In the history of Am erican politics, present fairly and truth fully from week to week a fair resume of what transpires in the field of politics, be sides publishing interesting New York, Philadelphia, Washington, MaucU Chunk, Welssport and Packerton letters, as well as correspondence from the various towns and Villages In the county. The subscription price of the Advocate is only $1.00,which makes It tho cheapest, largest and best weekly country newspaper in the Lehigh Valley. The bona fide circulation of this journal exceeds that of any other Carbon country newspaper, and we are still grow ing. We would bo pleased to haye you as a subscriber. A LARD THUST HAS BEEN FORMED probably to grease the scale of prices. Kx-Secbetabt Lamar was on Most day confirmed by ihe Senate as an Assoc!' ate Judge of the Supreme Court, of the United States. Senators Stewart, Rlddle bergerand Stanford voted with the Demo crats, thereby giving Lamar a majority of four. In the debate upon Judge Lamar's nomination tne civil war was fought over again In all its cruel intensity; the stero typed utttrances of partisan bigots conclus ively proves that when the malady of Dour bonlsm slezes upon men in public life it clings to them with a tenacity born of des pair. It is the most ridiculous folly for men to suppose that the South desires or entertains thought of renewing the struggle of the late war, and wavers of the bloody shirt but show an indomitable hate and vicious Ignorance in persisting In their ef- lorts to revive tha past which is buried and forgot by the "boys" who fought the bat ties with sword and musket not with tongue. As usual a few Democrats can be found who want to carry Pennsylvania and this a national election with the tariff to he saved. Durino Tne trial or the Strau bllnger abortion caso last week Judge Dreher wisely and considerately excluded from the couit room boys of (mature age, This was done in order to prevent the minds of the young from becoming cor rupted by the vulgar and obscene charac ter of the evidence usually set forth in con nectlon with such cases. The Timet, of Mauch Chunk, stimulated by a desire for notoriety, however, published several col' umns of this filthy and reeking evidence, which the law would not tolerate were It not a part of the judicial proceedings, and then circulates in the surrounding com mnnlties the sheet thus filled with the con taminating, noxious and .obscene literature to debase and corrupt the minds of the youns;. Shame, on such a prostitution of journalism. MARTIN IRONS, THE LEADER OF TIIE great Southwestern strike of 1830, is ped dllng candy In St. Louis. It is an epen question now whether the candy business or Martin Irons should blush. THAT CAPABLE, INTELLIGENT AND distinguished Republican Senator for the State of Iowa, we mean Allison, has de dared himself to be In hearty accord with the president's plan and policy of tariff re ductlon, or more correctly and intelligently speaking, Revenue Reform, Senator Alli son s name nas Been prominently men. tloned in connection with the Republican presidential nomination, certain it is, that the grand old party could make no better selection, for while he is not so prominent as Blaine, perhaps, he possesses principles of conservatism which take well with the people and would u questionably make a strong candidate. On our local page will be found a special letter from the seat of war. Har rlsburg. It Is interesting; read it. Elliot Kisner, of Luzerne, will make an aggressive and forceful Chairman of thS Democratic State Committee. JPell Informed, able and popular, .the campaign will present many new features to the Democracy with Kisner as chairman. The N. Y.

Special to the Carbon Advocate. An Interesting phaso of our political life has been developed In New York and Brook lyn In tho disciplining of two political bosses whoso names for several years havo been synonyms ot power and pelf, and the cases aro exactly analogous one being a Republican and the other a Democrat, lty the skilful manipulation of tbeso wily statesman a Republican was triumphantly elected in a strong Democratic distilut in Diooklyn, and a red hot Democrat an over whelming majority in one of the strongest Republican districts In New York. Few names are better known In New York than that of Johnny O'Brien. Johnny has for several years past been the Jupiter Tonans of the Eighth Assembly District. The Johnny O'Uricn Association Is ono ot the features of this interesting locality, and In Its ranks arc to bo found all the heelers, bums and saloon keepers of every complex ion and degree. It would appear from the developments of the last election that the Republican voters of the Eighth Assembly District held their allegiance to the Repub lican party by an exceedingly light and un certain tenure ; In polntof fact Mr, O'Brien seems to have carried It about for sale in his breeches pocket to bo disposed of to the highest bidder; and to bis credit bo it re corded that he never failed to deliver the goods when the bargain bad been fully con- utnraated. The result of this delightful arrangement has .been, that no matter who won or who lost, Mr. O'Brien came out on top; he went clad In purple and fino linen; the gold of Ophlr hung from his fob and the diamonds of Golconda flashed In his bosom. He was generous too; he set her up for the boys whenever they wcro thirsty, and to do them justice they were frequent ly dry. Then he staked them whenoyerthcy got broke, and ho paid their fines whenever they fell into the clutches of the police; so that, blow high or low, for weal or woe, In victory or defeat, the boys wero solid for Johnny. Mr. O'Brien was not the only Republican who had done this sort of thing. Mlko Crcgan had done the same thing for many years and waxed fat on it; but the defeat of Thorndyke Rice for Congress was the last feather on the camel's back, so after a desperato struggle the County Com mittee bounced Mr. Cregan. His fall broke his heart, and he died two weeks after. In Mr. O'Brien's district, at the last municipal ejection, a gentleman ran on the Republic an ticket for Civil Justle,cand he bad every reason to expect being elected by at least one thousand msjorlty, but Mr. O'Brien had a Democratic friend, a German named Stcckler, who by tho way was a very popu lar man. The surprise camo when It was dlscoyered that Sleekier the Democratic candidate had been almost unanimously elected, only one solitary vote was found In the boxes for the Republican candidate for civil justice. Of course there was a row and Johnny was hauled up before the County Committee, and he soon gave that enlightened body to understand that if they didn't like it thev could lump It; that tho dlsti let belonged to him anyway, and that be proposed to do with it whatever he pleased. Implicated with' him was a distil) guished saloon-keeper named Barney O'Rourke, over whose head an Indictment had been hanging for years in the office of District Attorneyship between John R, Fellows, who was supposed to represent the Boodle element, and DeLancey Nlchol, who was the champion of tho reformers, Mr. Nlchol was endorsed by tbeRepublicans of the Eighth Assembly District, but that made no difference to Mr. O'Rourke and air. uunen mien tlio ballots were counted Mr. Fellows came out on top, and two days after, tho Indictment that had hung oyer Barney for years, was nolle'd In the office of the District Attorney. Repub lics arc not ungrateful 1 For many years Mr. O'Brien has had one of the fattest offices In the city, and be has been able to provide for an army of heelers from the public crib. His bank acconnt Is comfortable, his personal appearance In vlting, and his surroundings all that bis most ardent admirers could desire. The Republican County Committee will try and down him, but he threatens them with vengeance In the next Presidential election If the election of any President, either Democrat or Republican, depends on the support of such heelers as Johnny O'Brien ana uarney u.uouruo, me sooner our form of government is changed the better; for that of the Czar ot Russia or the King of Dahomey would be preferred to such political disgrace. The caso in Brooklyn was that of John 1. McKane, who Is known in Kings County as the King of Coney Island. Mr. McKane's special bailiwick is the Town of Gravesend, and this old town owned the fee simple of all the ground on which Coney Island stands. Mr. McKane is ostensibly Chief of Police, but this office represents but a fraction of his power; be was the town's factotum and administered justice in a very summary fashion. Be it known that Coney Island, the beautiful, is solidly Democratic. The hard fisherman, the farmers and old settlers, would as soon think of catching whales in Sheephead Bay as of voting the Republican ticket. If every election district in the United States Is as solid for Cleveland as Coney Island, the riuraeu jungiiimignt just as well 'pursue his archaeological studies In Europe for the next four years, for there will be no change in the administration, always provided that be gets the endorsement of John Y. McKane. The fight in Mr. McKane's dls trlct was for Member of Assembly, and Mr, JcKane had promised a friend of his that the Republican should be elected, and he was. Then went forth a roar from the un teirlfled louder than the bull of Basban and the Infuriated clans clamored for the blood of Mr. McKane. Mr. JfcKane ap peared before the Democrat County Com, mtttee, avowed bis treason, and declared himself ready to take his pea-soup, and with the slightest posslple delay the Com- mlttee gave him all he wanted; tbey kicked him out of his office, put another man In his place, and from this lime forth the King of Coney Island ceases to be a factor In the Democratic politics of Kings County The Democratic Committee of Brooklyn nas done wisely in striking down this fiant up-start, and the Republican Commit tee of New York has done well In decapl tatlng Johnny O'Brien. Parties are ab solutely necessary in a government like ours to intelligent political action, but 1st the Republican be a Republican; the Dem ocrat, a Democrat; tho Prohibitionist, rroniuiuonist, and the other a represent atlvoof United Labor. But no parties sailing under false colors; no Thugs hold ing themselves on sale. The examples these two political leaders will not be lost, but it dnlv proves that on the question bargain and sale between the two great parties honors are easy. A novel case has been amusing the Courts this week, which Is an admirable lllustra tlon of trite old adage. "Fools and their money," Ac Miss Emily Oulon had WMlbtrwl the storms of thirty-five ysars and had never securod that lnstlmablej blessing, a husband. How this occured It Is hard to tell, for Emily was fair to look upon, and her avoirdupois was ono hundred and eighty-two pounds; her family was very respectable, she had a good healthy appctlto and twenty-flvo hundred dollars In the bank. Now a treasure ot this kind ought not to have to hunt very long for a husband. But after walling nil thoso long weary years and not finding a fellow, in an evil hour her eyes fell on tho deluding advertisement of one Wcllman, who pro mised to furnish eligible wives and hus bands at five dollars a head. Miss Gulon invested five dollars in Mrv Wellman's Matrimonial Bureau, and three days after she drew a prize in tho person of Frank Leroy. It is true ho was red-headed, he had lost three of his front teeth, his left leg was a little game and his right eyo off color. But a woman who had waited thirty-five years Is not supposed to stand upon trifles. The old adago of "tho bird In hand" struck her with the force- of Sul Uyan's right duke, so shefroze fast to Mr. Leroy at tho first meeting. Leroy was not loth to be ftozen to; so after vows of eter nal fidelity and fixing the wedding-day, he struck her for a thousand dollars; and then, perfidious brute that ho was, ho vanished like a ghost! During the few blissful hours that passed between Paradise and Hades Mr. Wcllman struck Emily for fifty dollars, and as she considered her Frank dirt cheap at that price, she paid It with out winking. But when he didn't come to time, that was another thing, so she had tho matrimonial agent arrested for swind ling. She may send Wellman to the Penitentiary, out her lover Leroy and her thousand dollars have "gone where the woodbine twlneth.' Another blooming damsel of thirty-five Is seeking balm for a wounded heart from Arbuckle of Arlosa coffee famo. The faithless lover has neuralgia in the jaws, sciatica in his back, rheumatism in his legs, and malaria all over him; and in addition to tho above qualifications he was credited with a million ot dollars. It will require one hundred thousand dollars to heal the wound In Miss Campbell's hcatt. All their old lovo letters aro dragged Into Court; he Is sixty, and she might acknow ledge forty and never have her word called in question ; but she calls him "Dear Baby," and he calls her his "Sweet Bunnle." It Is all right when whispered in the ear with gentle squeeze, but It looks very funny In cold type, and double-leaded at that Moral: Say w hat you ltko but don't write. My sympathies are with Miss Campbell. Arbuckle will not miss the $45,000, and It will do Miss Campbell a heap of good. German Opera has got a black eye; the receipts are below the expenses, and it is thought that the box-holders will be assessed two thousand five hundred dollars head. Too much Wagner is the cause, and the singing has not reached the stand aid of last year. The Prima Donnas are ready to tear each others' eyes out. Nei' raann has all gone to pieces. His voice, that was worth a cool five hundred a night last season, is only a shadow of Its former self. Bock beer, American cocktails and draw poker have proved too much for the great baritone, and perhaps Wanner bas something to answer for; however, between them all they haye floored poor Nermann This will be his last season here. The Phelps family and the Dodges are again in trouble. The firm of Phelps, Dodge & Co. was known all over the world, and their names were tho quintessence of respectability, piety and wealth; but they have had their trials as well as tho rest of us, for they were associated In business with the Stokes, whose family affairs haye Been dragged before tho Courts. Only few years ago they wero compelled to dis gorge to the government $500,000, which It was said they had unlawfully sequestered. Then Ed. Stokes brought the family and himself to grief by killing Jim Flsk. Later still and their uncle's estate was dragged before the Courts, and in the fight for his money they proved the old gentleman, who had always led a reputable life, to be little better than a common drunkard. And now a younj; scamp of the Dodge family attemps acruel joke on his cousin, Miss stones, advertising through the papers that he was engaged to her, then that he was married to her, and as a climax'to his villainy, that he bad burled her. The nils erable joke has created a profound sensat ion, and the general verdict Is that he deserves the penitentiary and a cowhide. BROADBRDf. From WasMBjton: News Notes, Special to tho Carbon Advocate. Washington D. 0 Jan. . 16 1888 Mr. Editor: Dennis Kearney of San Francisco, who It will be remembered acquired considerable notoriety as "the sand-lot orator" at the time of tbo San Francisco riots In 1878, has been a con splcuous figure in Washington during the past week. Mr. Kearney Is a man of yery ordinary appearance. He is a short, stout man, with straight hair cnt close; short neck and bullet-shaped head. He makes no pretense In the matter of dress, and his general appearance is suggestive o! the "wild west." ne wears no suspenders and between the waist band ot bis trousers and the bottom of his vest there appears an equatorial band of another garment. He has bad several Interviews with members of the Senate Committee on Foreign Re lations upon the subject ot the enactment of more stringent measures for excluding the Chinese from this country. A very animated contest has been In pro gress over tne privilege of keeping the House restaurant. Although Mr. DeSblelds. who held the position durlug the term of the last Congress, claims to haye lost 12,800 during the past year, there has been no lack of applicants for the place which was finally awarded "to Capt. Donaldson ex-Door-Keep er of the House. The President and Mrs. Cleveland gave the first State reception of the season, .on Thursday evening last. Nearly all the members of the Diplomatic Corps were pre sent In full court dress and many of them were accompanied by ladles. Altogether, the reception was a great success, both in numbers and In the brilliancy ot the scene. The House Committee haye at last been organized, and Congress is now in readiness tocommenco Us labors in earnest. The appropriation bills providing for claims that had been allowed during the year 1SS0, which failed to become laws during the last Congress owing to the rush of business dur ing the last few days of the session, are now under consideration and the Urgency Deficiency BUI has been pasted. The, General Denclecy Bill, which includes among its claims appropriations for the payment ot post masteis claims, is now under consideration and will doubtless be passed during the coming week. The question of the addmlsslon ot Dakota has been set wide by the House Committee on Territories until tb Oklahama ease has been considered, and next Friday has been ! settled upon for a hearing of persons In tercslcd in the latter measure. A tnaor!ty i of tho Commltteo Is known to bo -in favor of the "boomers," and thcro is no qccsllon as to tho result beforo the Coiunlttee. Upon tho floor of tho Houso however, thero will bo a decided opposition. It Is claimed by the advocates of the measure that tho opening of the Oklahama region to settlers Is earnestly desired and asked by the Knights of Labor and other worklngmcn, but this position will bo vlgoiously com bat ted and the result of tho final action upon tho bill cannot at this time, bo pre dicted. Last week the Boston Ideals, the Sym phony Orchestra of Boston, nnd the joung musical prodigy, Joseph Hoffman, all visited tho city, and between tlmm succeed ed In drawing out most of tho loycrs of music. The Utllo boy attracted tho most attention. It is really wonderful that a boy ten years old could Interpret so correct ly and at the samo tlmo so sympathetically tho most difficult works of tho leading com posers. Prof. Bischoff, tho blind musician, gaye tho lad a themo and he at once repro duced It, embellished with all sorts of fanciful variations. Mrs. Cleveland was present and united with tho others in applauding his performances. H. Elliot P. Eisner. Elliot P. Kisner, chairman-elect of the Democratic Stato committee, Is alawjer by profession. Born about forty years ago, near nazleton, where he at present resides, ho early plunged Into the political vortex, and by means of his own force and am bition has kept his head well above the waves ever since. Ho took an active part In the politics of Luzerdc even beforo his admission to iho bar, and displayed such an unusual knowledge of men and condi tions that he was soon called into party councils with men twice his age. Far back In the seventies ho was sent to the Legisla ture from Luzeruo and In the lower House suffered little by contrast wltn more ex perienced men. Later a candidate for District Attorney, so strong a combination wa formed against him In one of the ycais when the Greenback heresy tainted moie than half of the Luzerne Democracy, that his defeat followed in the nominating con vention. The bitterness of preliminary contest waged, we believe, against an Irish opponent with a large and ardent following let t some lasting scars upon both sides, but those who were uppermost In tho party soon testified their appreciation of his abil ity by Inviting him again to their councils, whither he gladly returned. Elliot Kisner Is not an orator. Though able to make a fluent speech when he de sires, he thinks that other arts are more effective In the management of political campaigns. Hence he was rarely heard on the stump, though participating In every campaign since he attained Ills majority, nts methods are silent, but as quick as lightning and often as effective. He has. a habit of turning up at the most unexpected moments and places, and of leaving, as lio came, unheralded and unnoticed. It Is contrary to bis nature to act oa tho defer. sive, or to watt until an cncmy glves him points, nis rule Is aggressive from start to finish, with no quarter to the enemy, ncr truce In which to bury the dead. Loving politics for its excitement, ho Is never hap pier than when in its utmost heat, and never more combative than when taken at a disadvantage. In person tho new chairman is pr6bably six feet high, with broad shoulders, -stout lungs and sturdy frame. 'Ills face Is round and smooth, his eye keen and bright and his voice cheerful and strong. He walks with firm and solid step, his shoulders wel back and his head erect. He has a consti tution like iron. Though not a newspaper man, as has been frequently alleged,he Is a clear and forceful writer, preferring facts to fancy and figures to flowers of rhetoric. A secretary ot the State committee under Mr. Hensel, he has widened Ills acquaintance ship until it Is now limited only by the bor ders of tho State, and by his easy conversa tional powers, genial manner and ready wit made himself popular wherever he has gone. He brings to his duty qualities of no Inferior order and a will and ambition second to none in the State. Philadelphia Times. NOTES AT?D OPIHI0N8.
