TheCarbon Advocate LEniUIITON, PA., BATURDAT, JANUARY 28, 1888. HTHRKD AT THE LUttlUHTOK I'OST-OFFICB AH SECOND CLASH MAIL MATTKIU TnB CASK OP llAWTLEY VS. BoTEIl, AS- lault and battery, before 'Squlro Belli last Saturday, In which Boyer paid the costs of prosecution settles, so far as local justices mo concerned, tho extent to which public school teachers dare Inflict corporeal pun ishment on scholars. Whilst the law speci fically nets forth that the teacher Is to take tho place of a parent In the school room,. It does not ndylso the extent to which punish ment Is to bo Inflicted, for the fact, no doubt, that teachers are supposed to use their own judgment In guaclnt; the amount of punishment suitable for tho case. The Idea Is erroneously entertained by many teachers that owing to tho fact that no specific form or extent of punishment Is set forth their power In this direction Is un limited. It Is wlso that tho teacher's mind should be disabused on this point, from the fact that cases have been reported where black and bluo marks and severe bruises have been the result of an unnecessarily sever punishment at the hands of a teach er who believes his power omnipotent In this direction. In consideration of this fact, teichers should bear In mind that whilst they tako the place of a parent in tho school room, they must uso a parent's judgment In the infliction of corporeal pun ishment, or, It tho result of Saturday's case be taken as a criterion, par the costs of prosecution in an assault and battery case. The couhty statement is audited, and the resources In excess of liabilities amount to eleven thousand dollars. Host people will remember the liowl the Mauch Chunk Democrat raised against tho last Commissioners, Insinuating that they were squandering the funds and would leave the county In debt. The Record at the time disputed tho assertions, and informed the public that the real reason of tho Demo crat's charges was duo to tho fact that it failed to qct from the commissioners cer tain official advertising. Tho audit just made proves that the old Board was one of the best the county has had in years. If Editor Kaucli Is fair to the ex-commissioners, fair to himself, to the profession he represents, and honest with bis readers he will acknowledge (hat his assertions of last summor were without foundation in factor fancy. 1WU he do it? Lansford Record. AS USUAL THE ATTEMPT TO PROVIDE each congressman with a private secretary at the expense of the people has been de feated. The bill as presented by Mr. Ter klns, from tho Slate of Kansas, is a fair specimen of the regular periodical salary grab, and was promulgated, no doubt, with the double intention of reducing the trou blesome surplus as well as to lighten the labors of poor, overworked congressmen. In this connection we are sorry to note that Congressman Buckalew, of this dls trlct, voted with the minority, Salary crabs are unpopular with honest voters, no matter of what political shade, and cannot be too strongly condemned. The people at present arc compelled to support too many ornamental clerks for public officials and the sooner they are dispensed with the moro satisfactory it will bo to the mass of voters. Salary grabbers and useless clerks are condemned. The election op Elliot Kisneh, of Luzerne, as Chairman of tho Democratic Slate Committee Is a single and significant victory for the free trado forces of this State, so far only as local politics Is con cerned. It pre-eminently testifies the pre ponderance of Scott strength over Randall and ends there; the prevalent idea, that the result of this factional fight will have any bearing on the probable presi dential candidacy of Samuel J. Randall Is ridiculous. Individually and politically Samuel J. Randall is stronger to-day with the rank and file of the Democracy of the United States than before, and no one Is more fully aware of this fact than Scott himself, as his constantly growing hate for Randall fully and conclusively testifies. Thebe is no change to be beported In the great strike. Both sides remain firm, neither having thus far, gained any special advantage over the other, and so the case stands, and if indications oj)d threats are not misleading, will continue until spring. In the meantime millions of dollars are withheld from circulation, coal has advanced to almost doublo its price, furnaces and foundries have shut down, and a general business depression is report td throughout the cnliro Lehigh Valley, the result of which bears heavily on the horny-handed sons of toil. This Is the ef fect of the great strike at this time; how will It end? ACCOItDINOTO A DESl'ATCn FROM PllIL- adelphia a Knight of Labor Assembly in that city, condemns the Democratic party for placing Ecklcy B. Coxe and 'William Scott on the State Committeo of tho above named party. Resolutions passed by the same assembly eoncludo In the following language: "If tnese men are continued In those positions we will take it as a declara tion of enmity to the worklngmen and their organizations." Considered from a K. of L. standpoint, candor compels us to say that they are about right. TilE COMMITTEE ArrOIKTED SEVERAL weeks ago for the purpose of securing esti mates, Ac, as to the probable cost of erect ing water works in this boroueh have been strenuously at work during the past ten days preparing reports of their Investiga tions. There seems no doubt now but what Lehlghton will in the near future have a first-class water supply. Tho earn est and hearty co-operation of all our citi zens should be in this progressive move ment On Tuesday, February 21, the vot ers of this borough will be called on to elect for the ensuing year men to fill the several borough offices. Lehlghton is growing, and as a result each year finds greater and more complex questions to be solved, In consideration, then, of this sin gle fact, the voters will certainly see the paramount Importance of electing men capable and efficient to the several borough offices. We publish on tub local fade of to-day's Issue a few complimentary alius Ions to Carbon county's able, distinguished and forceful District Attorney, Mr. W. M, Rapsher, clipped from county contempor aries. Mr. Rapsher is justly recognized as the head of the Carbon county bar; quail fled as he is, In the possession of all neces tary requisites, the honor Is not misplaced.

There Is one contention made by the Dominion of Canada which, In view of the relations now existing between tho civilized States of tho world, Is altogether Intolera ble. Canada refuses to permit American fishing vessels to enter her ports and pur chase supplies. Upon what principle of International comity can this churlish poli cy bo defended, and why should the United States submit to It? Our ships enter tho harbors of all nations for peaceful purposes, and tho foreigner Is always glad to have American captains buy whatever thoy need. What would we do If Franco should excludo somo of our ves sels from her ports, or if England should exclude somo of our vessels from tho ports Great Britain? Wo would regard tho exclusion as n hos tile act, and treat It as wo should all hostile acts. What is the reason for out taking n different course with Canada? There is no reason, except that Canada Is a colony of England and that war must be mado upon a people who give us no cause for quarrel, and to whom we are united by bonds of In terest and sentiment that are hard to break. But the present situation cannot endure. We cannot go on forever bargaining with this selfish colony paying her money and granting privileges to her corporations. Tier banks establish branches hero. Her railroads carry a vast traffic drawn from us and free from the Impediments of the tai Iff. Her vessels enter our harbors and buy and sell what they choose, upon tho same terms as all other friendly strangers. The humiliating and treacherous demand should be finally and peremptorily rejected. If England shall, unhappily, sustain this insulting pretension, there will be but one thing for us to do. We should then main tain the country's rights, as our fathers did, with all our powers upon sea and land. It is more than twenty years since tho civil war closed. North and South, a generation has grown up since tho surrender of Lee. The young men arc notdestltuto of martial spirit. If the country needs armies, they are ready to come at her call. Wo do not un derestimate the sacrifices which such a war would requlrc.but It would end In securing to tills continent an enduring peace. It Is possible that that blessing cannot be estab lished until, to use Charles Sumner's words, all foreign flags are withdrawn from this continent and from the buttresses there to." From the N. r.

Rapid transit is yet In Its infancy in our sister city of Brooklyn, but I see In a late report that a single line going through, not the most populous portion of Brooklyn, carried in 1887 thirteen millions of passen gers, and the deaths by accident were less than one in a million, and the- injured from all causes not one In a hundred thous and. Not a bad beclnninc that, and ouo that speaks more than volumes for the care and skill exercised In this perilous work. While I write the city is being girdlorncd in every direstion with elevated ioads, and It Is said that when all of them are com pleted, and it Is hoped that they will be before the close of 1888, that tho following year will show a transportation record of sixty millions of passengers, or about equal to tho entire population of the United States. Long Island Is waking to a uew life. It Is possible that the eastern end of It may be made the terminal point for a new line of transatlantic grey-houndsj which, built expressly for passengers, carrying uo freight, and providcdewlth every luxury and convenience that modern Improvements suggest, It Is hoped will mako tho voyago to the nearest point of the Irish coast In four days, and thence by rail and rapid steam 'to Holyhead. Many of the finest watering places in the world can be found along those Long Island beaches, and while New York will always remain a great commercial center, in point of population the next decade will show a very active rival In Brooklyn. Death stepped In to settle a law-suit which for the past four years has furnished work for the Courts, gossip for the -town, and abundant fees for tho lawyers who have waxed fat thereon, and whose grief is bit terer than Rachel's, as there are still two hundred thousand dollars left on which they never got their claws. In Brooklyn lived an old merchant named Valentine who had succeeded In making a fortune of about half a million of dollars In pork, lard and bacon; and after he had laid Mrs. Valentine No. 1 to rest beneath the daisies, ho bethought him that he would have a good time, and being sixty himself, fell head over heels In Ioyo with a blooming widow of thlrtv. While in weeds foi her first beloved she was the nicest, mildest, sweetest creature that ever wore a widow's cap. Like Bonnie Annie Laurie her voice was low and sweet, and when Valentine did a wooing go he got a new scratch wig, dyed his eyebrows, put. on nis bunday suit; and to make a long story short, In less than a month she was crowned with orange blossoms, and Valen tine thought himself la paradise. It did nt take him twenty-four hours to find out that he had made a gigantic mistake. A man'may be a very good judgo of pork and ham, ho may be sound on bacon and saus agesand yet get fooled on a widow. Well that was just Valentine's case; and from that time to tho day of his death, which occurred just four years after, he sat on the stool of repentance and never got off, No salty tears were wasted on Valentine's grave. One child, a son, was the result of this unfortunate union, and Mr. Valentine had another son by his first wife to whom he left $200,000; to the widow the house she lived in and the Income of $100,000. She sent for her father, mother and brother, and the family got along very well till one Doctor Richard appeared upen the scene, and from that hour there was trouble in the Valentine family. This self-willed woman, who bad driven two husbands In sorrow to their graves, became as putty In the hands of this wily doctor, and at last so scandalous did their conduct become that her mother was forced to remonstrate with her, and then in her rage she drove her father and mother out of the house to starve. An appeal was made to the Courts and she was compelled to pay them twelve dollars a week. At last her conduct be came so flagrant with the doctor that the relations of Mr. Valentine declared she was an unfit person to have charge of her son, and the Court was appealed to on the boy's bebalr, and he was finally taken from her custody. As they tore the child from her arms It was one of the most heart-rending scenes ever seen in a court of justice. The boy was rarrltd off screaming for hl moth er, and the mother was carried out In hys terics. She then deeded the houso she lived In to tho doctor, but tho affair caused such a scandal that ho was compelled to deed It back; however he succeeded lit got ting her to deed It to him again. There is no doubt tho Courts will declare tho deed Invalid on account of fraud and undue In fluence. This week she was suddenly seized with hemorrhage, and before anything could be done for her she was dead. And so ends tho record of a colossal fortune and a stormy life. Mr. Valentine did what thousands have donu before him and what thousands more are doing to-day. He was a close, hard-fisted, hard headed man; ho grubbed away through sixty years stuck to business night and day. He had no sympathy for the poor fools who fritter away their ttmo in pleasure; Ibis life Is not mado for pleasure, said Mr. Valentine; It's made for work I work and other people should workand he did woik, and his dollars rolled up to hundreds of thousands. Then ho married tho widow and after four years of supcrlat ivo mlscryho died a broken hearted man. But what of the money he left? "Ay there's the rub," well, It ruined the widow and killed her, sho died more miserably than Valentine; for she was de serted by every friend she had on earth, except tho doetor, and he was so terrified as he stood by her bedside that he sent out for four physicians and tho coroner, to bear witness that he had not murdered her. But he left two boys, surely they will enjoy it? Perhaps. The younger boy Inherited from his aged father n miserable constitution, and from his mother a temper and qualities that may curse his lifo If he lives. The other fell desperately In love with the daughter of a poor country parson and mar rled her. It was not long till this dowdy country girl, blossomed Into a fine fashion able lady, and camcls-halr shawls, sealskin sacqties, diamonds, pearls and rubles calorc, proclaimed her wealth to the world. Then she made the grand tour of Europe, and while abroad made the acquaintance of Adelaide Neilson the actress; she lavished presents on her which the actress was not loth to receive and followed her from place to place like a poodle dog, till Miss Neilson died on a Paris Boulevard. Then Mrs Valentine Imagined herself possessed of the spirit of Adelaide Neilson and forthwith prepared for the stage; sho called herself Adelaide Moore, and at the present time is wandering somewhere about the world trying to act, and no doubt is rapidly dis sipating the last remnant of Old Valentino's fortune. What a moral for inero money getters. The man who accumulated this fortune, now scattered to tho winds, in his lifo measured every man by the length of his bank account. If he had. no financial backing, though ho had the virtues of the Angel Gabriel, and the talents of Plato, Demosthenes and nomer combined, with Mr. Valentine ho was of no account. Yet bo ntado money, piled his gold In stacks, and died a broken hearted wreck. Mayor ncrwltt Is a thorn In tho sides of official oyll doers, and ever since he has been in office has been stirring the different commissions up with a very long pole. Our charities department is just now being keel hauled, and tho revelations are anything but savory. Waste, extravagance, theft and cruelty, are the offenses which demand Investigation and reform. God help the poor that are compelled to claim its aid. An old acquaintance turned uo this week Mrs. Tom Ri Jon, who used to sell the Volcano opposite St. Paul's somo years ago. Like Dr. Mary Walker she preferred pants to skirts and a sack coat to corsets and a waist. She was arrested this week for peddllngjperfumery and fined ten dol lars, but when It was discovered that it was her own manufacture sho was discharged. She Is not altogether lovely to look upon, and yet I hayo always felt a great deal of sympathy for her for tho brayo manner in which sho has fought the battle of life. She has worked for her husband and her children as not one woman In a hundred thousand has done. Through poverty and contumely she has struggled on for yeais, anrMbose exposed and tempted by penury aud suffering as few women ever have been, no breath of scandal has ever touched her, and that Is more than thousands of fine ladles can say whose husbands hayo sur rounded them with every luxury that money could buy. Why Is it that, tho moment a man Is proved to be a murderer and a ruffian and is 'sentenced to the gallows, such desperate efforts are mado to save his worthless neck. Here is Dan Drlscoll, tho chief of the ll'liyo Gang, a man whose life from childhood to the gallows has been ono long record of infamy. In attempting to assassinate another ruffian of his own stripe, he shot his paramour Bcezy Garrahan. He was tried, convicted aud sentenced to be hung. Whllo in prison he planned and almost succeeded in escaping, and latter laid a plan to assassinate the warden. No sooner is this known than the Governor Is appeal ed to, to save him. In this city there are thousands of people suffering from cold and hunger whllo I write. If one half ot the effort was made for them that Is mado to save this murder ous ruffian, it might alleviate much misery In hundreds ot homes which haye never been stained by crime. Harry Hill, who keeps the thieves resoii on Bleecker street, and who came to grief with the Excise Board because ho would not allow a policeman to blackmail blm, has forsaken whiskey and other deluding' drinks, and now keeps a dairy on the old spot right under the nose of the Police Board. There are sacred concerts an Sun day night somewhat different from those of the Y. M. C. A., but, nevertheless, high ly relished by the audience, and arc fully equal to the best peiformanccs of the Sal vation Harmy. Plymouth Church settled Doctor Abbott's salary at $0,500. This Is something of a drop from the $25,000 paid Mr. Beecher but Doctor Abbott Is satisfied, Plymouth Church is satisfied, so the rest of the world will have to be. Truly yours, BROADBRIM. From WasliiiiKton: News Notes. Special to the Carson Advocate. Washington D. C, Jan. 23 18S3 Mr. Editor: If the proceedings of Con gress during the past week can be relied up on as a criterion of the future, it may be safely predicted that the days of long drawn out discussions of important measures upon the floor of the House have passed. In fact, there appears to have been developed a determination upon the part of the mem bers, that the discussion of the merits of pending bills should be confined to the rooms of the respective committee having the measures In charge and to allow the report of the committee to be Indicative of the proper courso to follow in the disposit ion of the measure by the House. Hence, although the proceedings of the week have not been of a character tending to greatly Interest the general public, sttll a great deal has been accomplished In the was of disposing of private bills and ths way thus cleared for the consideration of moro Im prortant measures. Tho Senato In Executive session on Mon day last confirmed tho nomination of Mr. Lamar as Justice- of tho Supremo Court, and also the Cabinet nominations. The voto upon Mr. Lamar's nomination was a party one, excepting that Mr. RIddloberger voted with tho Democrats, ns did also Senators Stanfordand Stoward. "Tho dis cussion was almost entirely confined to the Republican side and tho lino of opposition covered tho official and political record ot the nominee, as well as his ago, business habits and legal qualifications. The Supreme Court room was crowded with strangers on Wednesday when Justice Lamar took tho official oath of office. After tho oath had been administered ho was assigned the chair of tho junior Justice at tho cxtrcmo left of the bench which has been uncccupleJ slnco tho 4th day of May 1885. There has been fivo Important conten tions In session In Washington during the week. Probably tho most largely attended was that of the National Shipping League. The meetings were held at IKlllarl's Hall and prominent representatives of tho ship ping Interests were present from all parts of the country. A series of resolutions were adopted urging upon Congress the Importance of Immediate action in rebuild ing and equipping a strong and efficient navy, not only for marltlno defense but for tho security of our commerce and carry ing trade upon the high seas. Tho other conventions In session were those, of the "National Board of Trade," "National Pure Food Association," "National Tobac co Association," and tho "National Asso ciation of Window Glass Janufacturcrs." Each of these conventions were largely attended and measures discussed both in teresting and instructive. I regret that, within the confines of a single letter, it Is impossible for mo to give them moro than a passing notice. Although it Is reported that Speaker Carllslo's Illness Is not of a serious nature still there is a great deal of anxiety express ed by his friends upon his account. He Is suffering from nervous prostration which was doubtless brought about by overwork, During tho two or three weeks Immediately proceeding the re-convening of Congress after tho holiday recess, It is said that ho devoted himself so presistcntly to work In organizing tho committees that ho deprived himself of needed rest and exercise. It is to be hoped that lie will soon entirely re cover and be able to resume his official duties, but at present ho is confined to his room and his physician states that it will be several weeks at least before It will be prudent for him to devote a thought to business matters. H. OUR PHILADELPHIA LETTER PliiLEADPLniA Pa., Jan. 25, '88 Two pretty women with no artistic ablll ty were tho rage of tho cremo do la'crcrne theater goers the week past Mrs. Lanstry and Mrs. Potter. Oh, my I what a stir there was; society was out In lull force to do homage to these marvels of purity (?) and beauty on the stage. Reputation, a pretty faco and an unspotted family record, such as Mrs. Langtry and Mrs. Potter possessf?) is all that Is wanted in order to draw an aesthetic audience. There are millions in it. Mrs. Langtry is an old chestnut but all the same she attracts largo crowds. Mrs. Potter made her first appearance and .many a half cracked dude or society swell paid an exhoibltant prlce'for tho privilege of beholding a pretty woman and poor act ing. There are somo species of cranks that arc truly to bo commiserated and ot this species there Is none so much a crank as a fellow named Francis Tracy Tobln, claiming to be a lawyer, and who for a little cheap notori ety, Is writing letters to Senator Hale about Postmaster W. F. Harrity. Tho sin of Harrity Is that he has removed Republican barnacles lrom the employment of the government and appointed Democrats. This littlo miscreant Tobln has made It a point to gather or get toge'her all the post office employees who were discharged by Harrity and haye them sign a paper that they were thus discharged and that because thus dismissed somebody violated some thing, tc, Ac, and a whole rlgmlrole more. Tobln, for notoriety sake, Is so ac tive and his spleen finds particular vent against Philadelphia's whilom postmaster because ho blames narrity with knocking him out of tho Survcyorshlp of tho Port of Philadelphia. At that time (1885) he was a rampant Democrat but because he did not get the Suryeyorshlp as any little man with a petty mean mind Is liable to do, he turned traitor to his convictions or profes sions aud joined the Republican party.' He now out Herod's Herod. As such he par ades himself in the papers from day today. Some day he will have as a component liic Jacet. A terrific fire at corner of 8th and Arch streets destrojed about $2,000,000 worth of property. The principal sufferers by the fire fiend are Marks Bros., Slioneman & Co., Anton Heller & Co., wholesalers and retailers In hosiery and millinery goods. &c. These firms wore of tho largest and employed many men, women and boys. The loss to the different parties is great but relatively speaking it Is not as great to theso as the loss is to tho poor employes wiio are In consequence out of employment. This feature of the misfortune is to be de plored moro than the mere loss of material things. A sight such us is beheld through a fire of such proportions as this was Is something to fill one with awe and wonder ment. The heavens for miles around were one grand lurid reflex; the licking flames as they shot skyward, cracking, creaking and roaring were sufficient to arouse fear in the stoutest of souls. Such sights while graud and majestic to behold are most unwelcome and unprofitable and therefore the hope is that all mankind will be spared from repe titions. It was a clear crystal night and If the wind had been strong Instead of des troying 2,000,000 worth of property It might have run up to many times that j amount. As It was the entire fire depart ment of Philadelphia bad all It could do to stop the conflagration. Their powers were fully taxed. Tho matchless leader, Win. R. Leeds. was dethroned from the chairmanship of tho Republican city committee. While the people of Philadelphia conserved their best Interest lu defeating Leeds for sheriff, It seems to an outsider, that the Republicans did not conserve the Interest ol their parly by displacing so efficient, so capable and effective a political leader and party worker as Leeds. The Republicans, like the Dem ocrats, are all broke and cut up and as be tween the two parlies if an election were to take place to-morrow it would be bard to judge which one would suffer the most. The political conspirators and paid agents ot the Pacific Railroad Co., who thought that they would blacken the reputation and character of Hon. R. E. Pattlson, by In venting a circumstantial story about seme thlnir. have been holitad hi thlr nwn n. sard. This circumstantial story and blatk- j mailing scheme hns been disposed of at every point by tho ex-governor producing undisputed evidence as to tho falslti of tho charges mado. It seems to bo beyond the comprehension of the Pacific Railroad thieves that there should bo such a persoii as an honest, fearless man, ever ready to doJtho right. This attempt to blacken Pat tlson Is outrageous and Is bound to fail of Its pnrposo for tho iniquity that accelerates It Is exposed. Think of a woman weighing 000 pounds! JJut just such a specimen of human flesh was on oxhlbl Ion at tho "Dlino" for two weeks. This woman was born at Trenton, N. J., and Is truly a sight to behold. At tho sanio time and same place an "ossified man" was on exhibition. This man is a wondrous being. There Is not a joint In his whole body that ho can move! ho has been thus for 28 years, and has to be fed and handled like a babe; he is absolutely helpless and vat liycs.and Is to all appear ances a reasonable being. He can talk for tho tongue Is tho only part of tho body he can move, This man is from New York State. In his earlier days he was a boat man on the Erio canal and while boating was hurt somehow from which ossification, or Inability to move a muscular joint in the body took place. The con'est for Chairman of the Demo cratic State Committee Is over and Klsner Is tho man. Whether the selection will provo ns fruitful as his friends anticipate remains to be seen. But one thing about tills contest Is that a great cry has gone forth over the whole country as to Its sig nificance, etc., etc. In some circles it Is an anti-Randall victory. Many of tho sup porters of Klsner disclaim any such notion and declare that It. cannot be construed In this manner. Amongst these is W. F Harrity. Sanders would never have been beat but for Harrlty's opposition to him, Notwithstanding these disclosures It is all over the oyer the country accepted as a de feat personally of Mr. Randall and In circles that are not for the best Interest of the Democratic parly, It Is construed as reading the great Democratic Commoner of Cougrcss out of the patty. This hl'arl- ty, so greatly manifested, at the primary repulse of Mr. Randall may all turn to ashes, for there Is no man who thrives moro under defeat, or becomes more fear less under repulse than Randall. But all this aside, can anybody impeach tho Dem ocracy of the Congressman from the Third Pcnnsjlvanla District? There aronone, for Randall Is thoroughly Democratic upon every cardinal or fundamental principle of the Democratic party It is true that in non-essential construction of the faith of tho party Ihero Is a difference between him and some other leaders; but in essential matters there Is unity. The reading out process that has been inaugurated by the the cranks will be rudely halted b'efore many months will have passed, for the thud they will rccclyo will produce aense of realization.
