Come off. deluded brother, come off. Of

the world famous journalist, who by

THH WATER QUESTION IB STILL THE
all-absorbing topic here. JW11 we get It?
Why, of course we will, If everybody goes
In with a Tim and gives the enterprise the
proper encouragement. And that Is what
should be done. It will place Lehlghton

that will pay.
Bismarck of Germany is in the sev-enty-fourth
year of his age, says the New
Xork &un. but tie is neither as healthy nor
as hearty as Thurman of the United States,
Moreover, Thurman Is not grumpy like
Bismarck, but Is full of lively humor. Since
his nomination at St. Louis be has become
gayer and more youthful In spirit than he
was before It. He can make as good a
speech as he ever made in his lite. He is
a wiser man now than ke was In any past
year. He is a grand old man.
IFxlt,, the Democratic National
ticket has been nominated, and the candi
dates are Stephen Graver Cleveland and
Allen G. Thurman; the former of New
York, the latter of Ohio. That they rep-
reieat the cardinal principles of the Demo
cratic party there can be no denying. They
are strong, too, with the people, Cleveland,
because he has made an honest, faithful
and Judicious chief magistrate: Thurman
the "noble old Roman," is popular with
the American populace because his political
record Is clean and above Insinuation.

BROADBRIM'S 1 1 LETTER.
Two years have passed since Henry
Irani Beecher laid down to rest, and In
the Interval Plymouth Church has sought
In every English-speaking land for a sue
cessor. One eminent .English clergyman
and another eminent clergyman, who did
not seek or desire the place, was humbly
solicited to take It, but after mature and
prayerful consideration was compelled to
decline the tempting offer, which Included
besides other considerations, the most liber
al salary paid to any clergyman In the
United States. Falling In this, the church
turned to the Rev. Lyman Abbott, who
was the life long friend of Mr, Beecher, and
who yras induced to occupy Plymouth pul
pit as a temporary supply. At last hope
failed the congregation, and while the call
was not unanimous, a majority of tbe most
In uentlal members of the congregation
favored Dr. Abbott. Meanwhile tbe Rev.
Samuel B. Halllday had been Mr. Beecher'a
assistant for eighteen years; he relioyed the
great Plymouth pastor of all the routine of
church wort: he organized and kept In
working ordor all the different departments ;
superintended the classes, meetings and
millions; dispensed Its charities, attended
the sick and burled the dead. He kept that
yast congregation like a shining piece of
clockwork keeping the most perfect time.
With all this he was a quiet, unobtrusive
man, and although oyery member of tho
congregation knew of his devoted
service, no one for a moment seemed to
think of him as a successor of Mr. Beecber.
He waited patiently month after month
expecting a call, but It never came, and
vnis week, wnen the cliurch decided to
make the Kev. Lyman Abbott the perman
ent successor of Mr. Beecher, Mr. Halllday
promptly handed In his resignation. Mr.
Halllday Is approaching four score, and
While a pious christian, he lacks those
brilliant shining parts which modern
Christianity demands among the chief
requisites of church administration. In
parting with Mr. Halllday Flymoalh church
loses a faithful and a yalutd servant, whose
place as a christian gentleman and a faith
ful worker forTJhnst It will be hard to fill,
Memorial Day did not pass by without a
hitch In either city of New York or Brook
lyn, for by some strange oversight neither
la New York or Brooklyn did the Mayor
receive a formal Invitation to review the
Memorial -procession. The plain facts ' ap
pear to be that the beads of some of the
parties having the matter In charge were
so completely turned by the presence of the
President and the desire to extinguish
somebody and make themselyes conspicu
ous that It seriously marred what promised
to be the finest procession that New York
and Brooklyn has seen for jnany many
years. Jfayor Hewitt failed to put lu an
appearance at tbe review, and It -was pub
licly said that the Mayor refused to appear
on the platform with tbe President. It is
well known that when In Washington he
never puts his foot Inside the White House.
Whatevar oddities our Mayor may be given
to, he is always a gentleman, but he stands
upon the dignity and respect due his office.
xne Memorial committee showed him but
scant courtesy, aud under the circumstances
he did perfectly right. It was not out of
a . tn . . ii . . I
miwu w iu mi rrestaeni, lor
had he as the city's representative been
freperiy treated, he would have been glad
ena to our CuUf-Jaglstrate a cordial
weifioaw Major Cbapln of Brooklyn was
UUd.ln exactly the same way but he Is
any.yfi yeunger than Mayor newltt so wealth have been closed, and Slate, Nation
he swallowed his wrath and attended the al and County Committees looking for
reyisw. A politician' brawl added another financial assistance have had to go fishing
uypitMui ieiure 10 ma uay. a air.
Crets had tendsred his house In Brooklyn
ioi a oner rresmenuai reception alter tbe
rviw was oyer, rollce Commlislontr
self sufficient
the proces
sion. It appears that Mr. Cross and he are
bitter enemies, and In ward politics are
Violently opposed to each other. It was
said that Mr. Dell did not want his old
enemy to have the honor of receiving tho
Fresident at his house, so ho delayed start
ing the procession and kopt the President
waiting a half-hour so that ho would have
no time for tlio reception at his enemy's
house. Tho President defeated tho little
game by leaving the reviewing stand befoio
the procession was over, and after a brief
hand shaking departed for Washington. It
was anything but a day of mourulng. In
the afternoon 10,000 people attended one
base ball game and 14,000 another; 12,000
went down to see Buffalo Bill and there
were over 60,000 at the different beer
gardens and outside resorts; 20,000 went to
the horse races, and thousands more to the
yacht races, excursions and plc-ntcs. Busi
ness was more generally suspended than I
have seen It for many scats, and to the
honor of our Jewish population be it re"
corded that scarcely a Jewish placo of busi
ness was open, unless It was some outcast
who never went to school even on the Day
of Atonement, and who would not be ac
knowledged as a son of Abraham, Isaac
and Jacob Inside the Synagogue.
The departure of the clans for St. Louis
has been one of tho events of the week,
People constantly hear of the dolncs of the
Tammany braves as If they were the only
Democrats alive In New York. Thero Is a
section here known as tho County Demo
cracy which made far fly when they bid us
eood-bye for St. Louis. Conspicuous in
the delegation was the Colonel Michael C,
Murphy Association, which had several
special cars. Our minds are easy as to
their return, for It is evident from the list
of the larder that they are not going to
perish by the wayside. For oyen If there
should be a famine in St. Louis oui boys
have enough of meat and drink to land
them safely back on, tho banks of the
Hudson and In the city of Getham. Here
Is a list of the creature comforts carried,
Read and ponder and reflect that with such
a delegation prohibition is still far ou:
Twelye cases of Heidsieck, six cases of
Mumm, six cases of Cllquot, four cases of
Holland gin, four dozen of brandy, twelve
dozen of Blue Grass sour mash rye whiskey,
six dozen of Bourbon whlikcy, five barrels
of Dublin stout, fifteen kegs of MUvaukco
lager, five dozen Santa Cruz rum, four
dozen of Jamaica rum, two dozen of
Angostura bitters, fifty bottles of cordials
twelve dozen of Apollnarls water, four
boxes of lemons, 8 cases of corned beef In
cans, twenty Elm City hams, five cases of
chicken In cans, boned turkey, ten boxes of
crackers, ten boxes of pilot bread, fifty
boxes of segars, 200 pounds of sugar, and
enough of other creature comforts to last
them and their friends til! the convention
Is over. This Is the larder record of
single association with many .more to be
heard from, noorah for the Mike Murphy
Association! Freedom still lives and the
country Is safe. That Is to say, it is safe if
nothing happens.
A cloud no bigger than a man's hand
rising In the Sixth Ward, which for years
past has been the battle ground of Paddy
Dtyver, Fatty Walsh, Tim Campbell and
number of statesmen of like ilk, who haye
been sacrlfllcing themselyes for the good of
the people by occupying office at their
hands for the past twenty years. Paddy
DIvver now represents the Sixth Ward In
the Board of Aldermen, and as tho Five
Points and all of the opium joints and
great many of tho thieves' dens, and the
Is In the Sixth the friends of Paddy Dlyyer
think that the Sixth irrd is entitled to the
office of Sheriff. IHien Larry Hoolahan
and Mud McCarthy waited on Coronor
Croker and explained the desires of Mr.
Dlvver's constituents, the coroner, though
an Irishman to the backbone, said, "Phoo,
phoo, Larry, no man wid the name of Pat
will lver be elected sheriff nv Noo Yourk
and don't you forglt It." "Ow, ov,
said Larry, "Do ye mane it, cororncr, do
you mane It? Beporra he will, and we'll
elect a man be tbe name of Paddy Presl
dent av the Uomlted Shtates, an don't you
forglt It. Put that in your pipe an shmoke
It, Mister Coroner!" Whether the fight
will end here remains to be seen. Maurice
Power Is yot to be heard from, and as tho
Sixth Ward is a potent factor in our politics
Paddy DIvver may yot be Sheriff of New
York.
On the sixth day of November, when the
result of the election was announced.
then made a prophecy that Jacob Sharp
would neyer go to prison, and that no other
boodler Would ever be convicted. This
week witnessed the trial of Mr. Kerr, the
treasurer who was supposed to have hand
ed over the boodle, five hundred thousand
dollars, to Billy Moloney. The jury went
out on Thursday; they wrestled with the
evldeuce for two days. The judge, tho
lawyers and everybody else were worn out,
The Jury finally announced the fact that
they were unable to agree and were dis
charged. The evidence was very much
stronger than that which convicted Jacob
Sharp; but no matter for tint. No other
boodler In the Broadway will ever be con
victed under the present administration
justice.
In speaking of the Memorial Day pro
cession I forgot to mention that it was Jr.
Talraage's first appearance In public
chaplain of the "Old Fighting Thirteenth,1
and mighty well ho looked. The Dominlo
is not what you can call a handsome man
according to the Greek standards of physi
cal beauty, but In a chaplain's uniform
with a broad-brimmed sombrero and
mounted on a horse, he certainly made
most imposing appearance. As a special
compliment to the Tabernacle pastor, tho
procession was deflected from tho line of
march so as to pass Jr. Talmage's house,
Every window was full of friends and the
ladles of hi j family who waved their hand
kerchiefs with the wildest enthusiasm, and
one old colored female, who stood upon the
steps, called out at the top of her voice,
"Fo de lawd sake, jess look at him jess
look! Ain't be a daisy! Yankee Doodle
ain't nuflhito limit"
Politicians In the Immediate nelghboi
hood of tbe Custom House are stirred
tbelr profoundest depths trying to find out
what has become of Widow McGinniss
Pig. This historic porker has brought
number of statesmen to grief, and only last
week the head of John M. Wyatt rolled
from the block of the Lord High Execution
er. The history of this Immortal Son
Bacon Is about as followe: Evervbodv
Knows mat a political campaign costs
money, and since Georce Win. Curtis nnrl
-Vr. Godkln have Impressed upon the
honest voters of this Republic the necessity
for Civil Service. Reform, the ordmarv
avenues for the collection of political
among tbe falluful, who did not hold offlce,
or go down In their own Dockets. At ilia
close of the State election a heavy deficit
occurred in the treasury of the Democratic
JX SfiSK
State Committee They could not call on
the Custom House employees, as civil ser
vice forbade it. In this dilemma, John M.
Wyatt, an officer In tho Custom House,
advertised a raffle for a pig belonging to
the Widow McGlnntss at a saloon In White
hall street, and all Custom House employ
ees were promptly aud urgently requested
tako a go In at llye dollars a chance.
Two hundred and seventy availed them
selves of tho Invitation, and $1,375 was
raised, which was at once passed over to
tho State Committee. Slnco then all tho
parlies have been trying to get tho address
of the Widow JfcGlnnlss, or to get a look
at tho Widow JfcGlnnlss' Pig. Expert
detective; havo been engaged to hunt them
up, but as they arc, now absent from tho
city and supposed to be In St. Louis, we
will hayo to await deyelopmcnts.
Truly yours,

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington D. C, Juno 11, 1888
Mr. Editor: The relatives and friends
of General Sheridan, who have been In
constant attendance at his bedsldo during
the past week, have had an anxious time,
and the numerous Inquiries made for the
latest news of his condition, the eagerness
with which tbe bulletins issued from tlmo
to lime by the physicians have been looked
for and read show that, beyond the perad
yenture of a doubt, the general feeling of
anxiety manifested by the public Is both
earnest and stuccrc.
Although tho scats of many of the lead
ing Democratic members of the House of
Representatives weic vacant during tbe
time that the St. Louts convention was In
session, and It required Congressmen of the
greatest application to sit quietly by and
devote serious attention to tho consldcra
Hon of business while reports from the con
ventlon were continuallo pouring In, a fair
amount of work was accomplished, and
seyeral matters wore taken up and disposed
of.
A number of bills of special Interest to
tho District of Columbia were passed,
among them being a bill making inaugura
tion day a legal holiday In tho District, and
two bills incorporating cable railway com
panies.
An amendment was offered In the Senate
on Monday last to the general appropria
tion bill providing an appropriation of
$200,000 to be expended In the establish
mcnt of a Zoological garden In Washing
ton. Tills project has been under considera
tion for seyeral years past, but It Is but re
cently that active operations have been
commenced, The garden will be established
In the valley of Rock Creek just outside of
the ctly limits, and a more beautiful site
could not well bo found elsewhere. Tho
ground is rough and broken, and most of
It inaccessible for ordinary building pur
poses. The banks are covered with a beautl
fnl growtli of forest trees, and now that
the plans have been perfected and Congress
has taken the matter into consideration, It
may be safely predicted that wo will soon
havo a "Zoo" whl;h we may well feel
prom' of.
The greatest anxiety to learn the news
from Sc. Louis was manifested. The
President had a special prlyata wire placed
In his office and was constantly informed
of the progress of affairs. Tbe Democrats
generally expressed themselves as- pleased
with the result and made about as much
noise over the nominations as if they wero
to have a yoicn in the election. About
salute of one hundred gnus was fired
In
honor of the occasion.
Since the news of Mr. Thurman's noml
nation was received the red bandana has
beconio tho most conspicuous object In
Washington. The corridors of the various
departments, where Democratic sentiment
a few years since was at a discount, now
blaze like an Adlrondac mountain side In
frost time.
The Houso Committee upon Public
Buildings and Grounds bo's at last decided
upon a site for the new city post-office, and
it Is probable that Washington will soon bo
possessed a post-office building which wil
be in keeping with the other public btilldl
lugs of the city. II,
Special to the Carbon Advocate.
OUR PHILADELPHIA LETTER
Philadelphia Ta., Juno 11, '88
The emblem of the Democratic party In
this country is destined to be an "ore-
flam o" tbe Thurman bandana. Just now
it obscures everything; even tho head of
the National Democratic ticket is forgotten
and unheard through the w a v o of
enthusiasm caused by this bandana. Street
fakirs bellow from every street corner
"nereyo are! your bandanas; two for
quarter." It Is a very remarkable thing,
but all tbe same It Is the one cnshuslastlc
feature of the Democratic nominations. It
Is a typical evidence of the popularity and
love of the populace for Allen Q. Thurman
the "noblest Roman of them all." lie is
the best type of a representative Democrat
in this broad land. Grand and majestic In
Intellect; noble In those honest Impulses
that makes the true statesman and gentle
man. The name of Thurman conjures
much. It Is tho force and vim of party ac
tion. This was very much demonstrated
upon the return of tho delegates from St.
Louis. The reception accorded tbcm was
a dlspla of the bandana, upon hats, ends
of canes, decorations of club houses and
residences along the line of march. The
reception thus accorded these pilgrim state
men was enthusiastic and genuinely Demo
cratic. A forctasto of what Is to come,
The thing that Is to come is a bitter con
tdst, waged In a manner so ferocious as to
challenge Us equal In any political combat
known to American history. The Demo
crat who calculates on an easy time and
wild prophecy as to success reckons with
out reason. Tho contest will be Inch by
Inch, and which everlpaity; wins will haye
very little to boast of.
Hon. J. G. Gordon, Common Pleas
Judge Is establishing a reputalon for sever
ity to violators of the law unknown ol 10
the Philadelphia courts. The woman who
Is mistress of the bawdy house, or the man
who sells liquor contrary to law, or the
thief, nil get tho full penalty of the law,
Last week ho sentenced, after conviction,
two women to eighteen months In Moya
menslng prison for being too liberal In the
entertainment of gentlemen friends. Dur
ing tbe same session ha senteuced a num
ber of men for some violations of the
Brook's license Jaw to the same Institution.
All criminals endeavor to evade a trial be
fore this new Daniel come to judgment.
If convicted, they know what Is In store
for them. Well may they fear a convic
tion before Gordon, In bis Interpellation
of the law he concludes that what the pro
visions of the law mean is meant, and his
action Is according to his belief. But with
all his severity to hardened criminals he Is
a juit Judge. He does what Is right and
proper, and If his administering of the laW
1.1 contrary to public wishes he deems It the
uty of tho public to clmngctho law so as to
conform to their wishes. In this he Is
right.
The summer season has opened In dead
earnest. The cry all along tlio whole lino Is
for the sea shore away from the city and
tho sweltering, seething beat. The exodus
on a Saturday afternoon for tho resorts of
tho sea coast, Is a sight to behold. Men
and women hustlo, jostlo and push for
placo ou tho boats and trains bearing them
to their destination for Sunday. Atlantic
City, Cape May, Sea Islo City, and hosts
of other places accommodate, the many
thousands from tho city who swarm like
becs to enjoy tho salubrious air of tbe ocean
waves, ll'liat a blessing theso places are
to tho ovcr-workgl many. How they do
enjoy It. What recreation It affords them
and how much tho better they are for tho
Invlgoiatlon afforded. Tho railroad com
panies have, on account of tho great pass
enger traffic, reduced tho round trip fares
during these seasons to a fair charge so
that rich and poor can avail themselves of
these pleasurable advantages. And thoy
do aTall themselyes.
Some clothing houses In Philadelphia
havo inaugurated a novel way of advertis
ing the prices of their goods. Instead of
using markers, they havo cash money to
show the prlco. For Instance, a coat Is
worth $25 they designate the prlco by a
real $20 and $5 bills. If less tho denomi
nation of Uncle Sam's representation on H.
Is less; if more likewise. It attracts much
notice and Is a good advertisement. -Vany
poor follows behold so much money; more
than what they ever possessed, In wonder
and awe. One firm by such representation
alone had In their show windows oyer
$3,000 in 00, $20, $10, $f, $2 and $1 bills.
The sight Is a galore and no wonder that
many with open mouths stand and look at
It. Oh I It Is so wist fell I
One of the abomlablo features of the
Brook's license law Is that, if blackberry
brandy or an equally necessary medicine Is
required for medicinal use, no ono can get
it unless he first goes to a physician, pavs
his fifty cents and gels a perscriptton. This
Is an unjustifiable assumption, ana a uaru
shlp upon some that should be remedied.
It Is a case of blue law of tho worst kind.
