Har leman, of ICeatherly; Holllnger, of Lans ford; Mulhearn and Kelfer, of Mauch Chuck, and A. W. Raudenbush, of Le hlghton, are prominently spoken of In con neclion with tho Assembly nomination, for the minor offices men of more or less prominence loom up occasionally but do not slay long. The fight In this county next fall gives promise- of being a heated one; Democratic discord during tbe past few years has strengthened the idea with Republicans that by a gigantic effort they can carry the connty ticket by small major ities. They will go Into the battle well equipped, and unless tho Democracy pre sents a solid front "there will be the devil to play, and don't you forget it.

A Terrlbta Arraignment - Tho United States Mall save: "It can be laid down as the common law of the land that a non-paying newspaper subscriber be longs to the shabby, mangy part of humani ty. n is the mildewed ear in the crop of humanity. He Is, morally, a blotch on his generation, Tbe Lord has stamped him below par, base metal; his manhood is counterfeit. He Is guilty ot the pettiest, meanest robbery. He robs his faithful servant of his hard earned wages. He robs, Ilko a coward, the man who Is far off. He Is mean In little things that kind of mean ness that shrinks and ahriyels np the soul, until It is small and although contemptible. Ot this man tt has been said: "Thou art weighed in the balance and found wanticg.' "Thou art the small potato in the bin of society." If ttie soul of this man should transmigrate and enter the soul of a pig, the pig would slink away in shame, feeling that he ranked among swine as sevoral pelnts below the average of swinish re apcciabllity. Unhonorcd of men, unloved by angles, despised by the printer, Is the man who dtad-beats on the great waste of salvation Is devising a scheme tor the say. tng of such souls.
