PACKERTON NOTES AND OPINIONS.
A Versatile Correspondent Comments on Time
ly Toples.
DSspatchet Harleman and Forwarding
Agent Williams aro again at their post.
John Scholl, Injured some time ago In
the yard here. Is again at work; his escape
from deatbat the time was mlracalous.
Wo stated Hi our last letter that this
town politically was controlled by the K.of
L. The late election does not verify this.
there Is still a chance for a straight out
Republican and Democrat.
-There is considerable complaint as to
tho management of onr public schools.
This district pays large salaries, and should
have good schools. It there Is good reason
for complaint, tho matter should be brought
to the notice of the school board.
Thomas J. Harleman, school director
elect, profited by the advice of last fall and
secured a cutting of tbe new grape grown by
county Treasurer Dolan; result, full crop.
Any oiuers desiring, can obtain the same
variety, Mack, our genial Post Master, en-
Joys the result.
Tho Philadelphia Press dreads the
very probable .nomination of Cleveland;
henco his .stirring effort to prove the re
verse. Tho Democratic party havo learned
from past experience and propose to profit
thereby. Thero will be no moro suicidal
nominations for the present at least.
The result of the election on Tuesday
was as follows: Judge ot election, Wilson
Bltner; inspectors, Alfred Mertz, George
Hallman; school directors. Thomas J.
Harleman, Frank Melsel; auditors, Lymsn
McDanlel, Wm. Angle; assessor, John W.
Koons; assessor In registry, Gus. Lang
kamerer; overseer of poor, Leopold Myers;
supervisors, Samuel Evert and Harrison
Miller.
It Is, perhaps, unfortunate for Attorney
Stroh that he sought an election to ofUcc,
on Tuesday, no good citizen desires to an
noy or humiliate the gentleman, his effort
to resume a worthy position is commend
able, and should, and no doubt will, ro
cctve general encouragement, but we think
Tuesday's move unwise. Mr. Stroh Is a
young man of fair abilities, we believe be
can, and will, yet do honor to himself and
friends If ho only embraces tbe right op
portunity. -Strike ordered off an era of good feel
ing promised busluess men encouraged
strike likely to be ordered on great an
xiety manifested; this Is the dally news
thus labor and business Is buffeted around
by tho malcontents and designing demo
gogue. What Is the reason, does tho aver
age wago worker Inquire? Who profits
during these seasons of unrest In tho labor
world? Who is impoverished? The Knights
as an organization claim to be self support
ing none of the number shall Buffet dur
ing a strike; granted, but what of the great
army of enforced idlers, the result of a
strike. Who aro the leaders In labor dis
turbances? JFhat Is their real object?
These are questions tbat thousands are be
ginning to answer, enducated labor will
soon answer in thunder tones tbat such
violent measures aro ruinous. Strikes do
not pay, says nlno out of ten of the wage
workers; then why persisted in?
Electricity and Insurance.
''Wlrcstobe duly coated with approved
insulating material and to have at least
double the conducting capactty required by
all the generators, and to be protected
whero they enter the buildings by porcelain
or bard rubber insulators, so placed as to
prevent rain water from entering tho build
ing alone the wire, and to be provided with
a cut-off outside. Whenever wires are car
ried through walls, floors or partitions in
buildings, they must be surrounded by a
special Insulating tube of substantial ma
terial. The wires must be firmly secured
to walls or ceilings by non-conducting fas
tenings. Lamp frames to be Insulated, and
where inflammable materials are exposed
to have globes closed at the bottom and at
the top by chimneys with spark arresters."
When the entire equipment Is In accord
ance with the rules as above provided, fire
Insurance companies grant privilege to use
electric lights, but under no other condi
tions, as we have a long list of fires caused
by Imperfectly Insulated wires coming In
contact with wood or other inflammable
mateilal, notably tho great Temple Theatre
