Timely Topics Pithily Wrlttoa Up by Ver ntllo Qullllst. It Is qulto freely predicted hero that non. IF. M. Rapshcr will bo the noxt President Judge of this district. Theso predictions aro likely to prove truo, and ho may have a clear field, as It Is rnmorcd that Judgo Droller will probably not bo a candt dato for a third term, as a contradiction of an alleged bargain recently mentioned In tho Philadelphia Times. It has already driven out Major Klotz, If his ovaslvo card means what it Intimates. Honco it Is plain that tho congressional nomination will go to Northampton county after tho usual amount of wrangling Is over. Still it Is said by somo that Mr. Craig will earnestly chasoand sprint after tho Congressional butterfly, trying to catch it, or even to get It under his hat. Its a silly farco mora difficult than catching a flea. At least so tho knowing ones say. Then this wicked bargain to interfere with the rights of the peoplo will as usual be brought to grief to tormont Us pious old Instigators. The personal property of George Op phold, of the second ward, was seized by tho Sheriff this week and will bo sold to satisfy his creditors. This reminds us that Sheriff Gallagher's term of office has almost expired.

THIED AND FOURTH TEEMS OF OFFIOE. To the Editor of tho Advocate : It Is said that somo well meaning peoplo object to yottng for Jlfr. Georgo W. Esscr for tho office of rrothonotary, becauso It Is lor tho fourth term, Let us oxamlno this objection llko sensi ble men and sec whether thcro is anything In It, It Is claimed as ono of tho best and leading features of President Cleveland's administration, that ho has adhered to Civil Service Reform, that Is to say, to keep and retain competent, honest and ex perienced men. In office, not for one term only, but as long as thoy faithfully servo tho people. This Is simply, coming down to solid business principles In doing the peoples business. And why not? Busi ness Is business. Public offices aro public trusts, says the President. They aro for a higher purpose than to merely gratify the vanity of raw rec.ults to experiment at the public expense. Governor Fattlson also strongly endorsed this business Idea in politics when he was Governor of Pennsyl vania. Let mo explain what I mean by It so that any one can understand It. Suppose that Mr. J. L. Gabcl should apply to the Lehigh Valley R. R. Company for the position of Master Car Builder, the posi tion now so very creditably filled by Mr. John S. Lentz, upon the ground that Mr. Lentz had It long enough, and that Mr. Gabel was also 'a good man for tho place and could finally learn to fill It. Perhaps he could, but It would bo an expensive luxury for tho Company until tie did learn It. So It wonld bo to Carbon Co. Thercf oro It Is not a wise policy to make too many changes. Again, If he should apply for Mr. W. W. Bowman's placo In the First National Bank, do you think the Directors ought to give it to him, because Mr. Bowman has had It long enough? Thoy would laugh at the Idea, and so would any senslblo man at any other similar pre position. It would ba ruinous and un business like and thereforo no business man would for a moment think of doing it. This same Identical business principle Is just what President Cleveland Is trying to Introduce lnt politics, the public busi ness. If it Is a good thing, why not have It? Besides thero is a big risk to run, In frequently changing a raw and inexperienc ed man for a good and tried one, bccawie the now man may not prove to be honest and capable. Some men aro only service able for some particular purpose. When you have a good man for any puroose whatever, business or politics, It Is always an experiment to change. Is It not bo? It Is not a sound public policy to think that the tax-payers can stand anything, so as to give sone good fellows a chance to try an office. Of course, some offices aro easier to fill than others, but I wish to lay particular stress upon the undisputed fact, that the office of rrothonotary requires such special tact and skill that but very few men are so constituted that thoy could fill the p'.ace with credit to themsolyes and advantage to tho people. Why experi ment at this particular time? Is thero 'a sensible reason or It? If so, please state what It Is? I asseit that no responsible man docs desire to ex periment, If ho reflects and knows what tho public welfare demands. Competent and fit men haye as a general thing hold public office three and moro terms, not only In Carbon County but elsewhere. It is the rule and not as some bln-mouthcd fellows say, the exception. Just begin onco with your Township and Borough officers an'd go up In the 't and you will be surprised. In County offices I need not mention the Names of Nimson, Slewers, nandwerk and so on. You know them all. Who haye our useful and Influential public men In State and National Affairs? Thoy are not rotation men that aro changed at the end of every first or second term, I can tell you that. It takes time, experience and ability combined to mako a useful public man. tl Is astonshlng how floollshly some people reason, three years ago when 3r. Esser was a candidate the Republicans, and some Democrats, held up their hands In holy horror at the Idea, and the very first chance that the Republicans got they unanimously re-nominated Mr. Handwerk for a third term and elected him too, and that In a Democratic county. It clearly shows that thelil objections were not made In good faith. I simply refer to this- now to show how Inconsistent and trlffllng these Re publicans objections against Mr. Esser really are. How can anyone be so foolish as to take any stock In It? Now this tlmo the Republicans are asking the people to defeat Mr. Esser becauso he Is a truo and tried official, so as to make room for Mr. Gabel who dont, eyen want the office for himself, so as to put in some green and inexperienced deputy. But tne silliest dodge of all Is the claim and Indeed the do mand, that the Republicans of Mauch Chunk must not give Mr. Esser a com pllmentary vote in his home, but on tho contrary that the Democrats must by all means glvo Mr. Gabcl at Lehlghton and elsewhere, a large complimentary vote. That's a bogish notion, no matter if your own mother made It. If the people take a sober second thought btfore they vote, as they would do In their own business matters, then they will do no such foolish thing. A Business Max.

In tho morning of our moving wo camo to our new homo one-by-one I was afraid If they would sco the preacher's family thoy would get scared. There is a great Inspiration In members. especially In a preacher s family just usher ing themselves through on of the most public streets In town, toward their new home. During this tlmo tho housekeepers all uvea in tho parlor and viewed tho scene. Tho new preacher docs not mako -such a stir In town as his wife, sho Is new ..also. "1 wonder whv she don't conin tn sen us. she has been living In this street for over a montu and sho docs not show herself." Tho people criticise her, they say she Is pretty or sho Is ucly of faco. thev wonder why the preacher oyer raarrjed her or she wanted mm. 1 uo not mean, of course. that tho Boyertown nconlo treated us thus. But there are places in this round world of ours wncro sucn is tho case. My children were all kept busy durinc the summer. The schools In Bojertown havo begun ;they attend school, If it bo true that ministers children are worse than other people's, it is becauso thoy are, in most cases, idlers, an nue ooy or gin is bad, wncro there is no necessity to make them so, the children who havo nothing to do, whether the preacher's or otners cnuuien, ao evil, wo llyo In beautiful town, among a good people.
