Bona Fltle Circulation Larger than that of any Weekl J Newspaper in the County, THE I'.NI) Of 1891. It la owlso philosophy which soys that, "to the young tho years spood not fast enough; to the old they aro too short," The young,' in tho closing hours of tho dying yoar, plan ambl lously for tho new; tho old watch the lug hour half with fear and mnso rcr the past whllo they seriously con- rmmnr.n inn nvimia oi luh iuluiu. uui let us all stop just long enough in the few closing hours of this tho old year to contomplato tho past, Its fortunes and misf ortunos, Its joys and its griofs. If we aro wlso, if wo learn from that grim teacher, oxperienco, the old year will not bo without its lessons to one and all of us. As wo stand hero by the funeral btor of old 1891 wo pauso long enough to remember the good and bad ol the three hundred and sixty- five days now gono forever in the abyss of time. Have you mot with successes? Have you stopped long enough to know the roason of such success? Have you met with misfortune? Did you profit by it or are you plunging blindly on regardless of some lesson you should havo learned thereby? Have you performed some low, moan and contemptiblo act in 1891 which you aro now ashamed of? If so, now is the time to resolvo to do better! in fact, this Is tho period, tho switching off time, whon wo should all, each and every one of us, rosolvo that 1892 will find us bettor, nobler and purer than we havo over been in tho past. If wo resolvo this and perpotuate ourselves to tho rigid and strict performance of duty there is somebody who will profit through our oxlstenco and tho world will be better off that wo have lived in it. As we start out in 1892 tho Carbon Advocate wishes for all a Happy Now Year with an abundanco of prosposity, good health and plonty. IT WAS WIUT 11 r VS. This newspaper had intended paying no moro attention to tho silly harping of tho Mauch Chunk Democrat, and yet a civil question directed to us in the last Issue of that paper we feel called upon to answer. For somo weeks past tho Mauch Chunk Demo crat has alluded in tho most offensive mannor to an editorial wiutten bt the editor or tiic Carbon Advocate and appearing in our columns immediately following election and also appearing, in part, In tho Weathorly Herald of tho samo date, although this paper was Issued and in circulation fully fifteen hours before the Herald. The oditor of tho Democrat asks, "was this edi torial written by yoursolf." In reply wo say most emphatically "it was" and wo append below tho original article oa written by tho editor of this papor and published in our columns: GKonai: w. i:ssi:k. The result of Tuesday's eloctlon retires at the close of lfcol from theofflee of l'rothonotary and Clerk of Courts, Ueorire W. Ksser, a clean and fure official with a Integrity both in public and Srlvate life that Is far above reproach. Ills de eat was brought about by the most corrupt methods and despicable tricks and deals ever encompassed In Carbon county politics, and by a set of political demagogues aud ungsters who for a decade have disgraced the Democrats party in this county. George AV. Ksser, with a character above reproach and an honesty aud Integrity that no one dare Impugn lias the con fidence and respect of the people ho has so long served faithfully and well. Mr. Ksser has made an honest, falthliil and clean olhclal and uou the respect of all people with whom he has come In contact by Iris agreeable and courteous demeanor to all. Mr. Esser Is a gentleman aud u Democrat whohasbceu with his party tlrst, last aud all tho time ever working to honestly nth ance Its luterests. It can truthfullv be said ol him that ho has alwavs been loyal to ills ineuui, uis puny unu ins country, a true gen tleman, an honest, faithful, pure official and an Incorruntlble Democrat, what more need be said of him? Those who know him best are loudest In their expression of praise for his manliness and courage In all things whllo all speak of him as a gentlemau aud Democrat to be esteemed aud respected. If there is ant truth whatovor in tho appended paragraph, it might bo a very good thing to put it into practise in this county, and perhaps it would havo tho tendency to break up the practice of sending, petty, nonsensical cases to court at tho expeuso of the county: "A Northampton county jury on Tuosday rendered a novel verdict. After finding tho defendant not guilty of the charge, tho costs wero divided into four equal parts. Tho prosecutrix was directed to pay one-fourth, the defendant ono-fourth, tho constable who made tho arrest one-fourth, and tho justice of tho poaco who made tho return ono-fourth." The meanest and most despicable thing a man can do is to refuse to take his paper out of tho post oulco. If you don't want a newspaper afteryourtime has expired writo and tell the publisher so and he'll stop it, providing it is paid for up to date. Be manly, it is no dls- grace to discontinue a paper and you havo no need to be ashamed of it. Some of you fellows who don't do It, try this and see if you won't feci moro manly afterwards. A new yeah resolve: Durinff 1802 i win not connive lo injure my neighbor's business but will use ovcry honest effort to advance the divorsfled interosts of this town.

Politicians do a great deal of specu luting upou the best mean of educat ing tho voters of the State in marking the blanket ballot which is to be used at tho Presidental election next Ml, The ballot reform law, which goes Into effect on March 1 of next year, ro quires that the names of all the can didates of all parties bo printed on one ticket and the voter can only get his ticket from the Judge of Election in the election district in which he is registered. The law directs that in indicating his choice the voter shall "place a cross (x) opposite tho party name or political designation of a group of candidates or opposite the name of the candidate of his choice for each olUce to be filled."

DERBY IS THE ONLY REPUBLICAN SENATOR DECLARED ELECTED. The Court of Appeals and tho State Hoard of Cantassers Proclaim Osborn and Nichols. Dem., lllccted Sherwood, ltep., Ineligible Uecause He Holds an Office. Albany, Dec HO. Tho court of appeals rhnmtwr was filled Tuesday with lawyers, politicians and state officers awaiting the decisions in the election cases. Chairman Edward Murphy, of tho state Democratic committee. Tho court met precisely nt 3 o'clock and handed down tho decisions. Jndge May nard took them, together with the opinions, and proceeded before tho canvassing board, where he read them. The general under standing of the decisions was as followsi In tho Sixteenth district Derby, Republican, it to bo given the certificate. In tho Twenty- fifth district John II. Nichols, Democrat, i to have the certificate. In the Fifteenth district the Mylod cer tlflcatc is declared right as to form and at to manner of filing, but not as to face value. Tho board of canvassers is to uso its discre- ion. In the Twenty-soveuth district, Shcr wood. Republican, is declared ineligible, but the state boaid is enjoined tnat it nas nc power to go behind tho raco of tho returns. The only alternative given isaneweieciion Tho Sherwood Case. There aro twelvo opinions in tho election cases handed down and they aro all lengthy. In the case of an order for a peremptory mandamus to compel tho state toard or can vasfiers to return a certificate of ineligibility of Franklin B. Sherwood as senator in the Twenty-seventh district mode by the county board of canvassers, Judge Earl says: This Is an extraordinary order, what possible official duty did the secretary ol state have to return to tho county ot Steuben tho papers mentioned in tho ordcrl They did not belong to tho county canvass ers or the county clerk of 8teuben county, and wero not oiuciai papers. And wnai right did the relator have that they should be returned! 'It is possible and quite probable that a mandamus issued in pursuance of this order would do no harm. But as it con accom plish no useful purposo arid could be issued only to compel the discharge of official duty, for fear that it may form a precedent, think the orders of tho special and genoral terras should be reversed and tho applica tion for a mandamus denied." The judiro oIbo finds that Sherwood waa an officer under tho Hornellsvillo city gov ernment within the meaning of the consti tution and therefore not oligiblo to accept the office of senator while he held tho office of nark commissioner. Judfze Earl does not believe tnat tno court oueht to crant a mandamus to comiwl the Issuing of a certificate of election to one who boa no right under the constitution to the office, but tho senate itBelf when it meets can determine whether or not Sherwood was clegiblo and elected, Tho court simply determines that it will not aid him, and in making such determination it in no way in fringes upon the jurisdiction confided to the state. It simply exercises a jurisdiction which he has invoked. A New Election 1'osslble. Judce Earl decided that none of the ofil core clothed with tho duty to canvass votes derive any power in a case liko this to pass upon tho elicibulty or candidates and to ais- reirard votes cast for an ineligible candidate. The action or nonaction of tho canvassers may be an ototaclo in Sherwood's way, but the court win not uy mantiamus, wnero me facts showimi his inoliEribility are undis puted, assist him in removing the obstacle. If the Benate shall agree that Sherwood is ineligible and find that his competitor was not elected, the result win be mat a new election will have to bo ordered. The next most important decision is in the case of tho Dutchess county returns, where the judges, as a body, decide that the Mylod certificate is properly filed and may be used by the board, but depreciates Its merits as an honest return. The court declares that a county clerk's duties are purely ministerial, and that he cannot refuse to certify because tho county canvassers throw out votes. In the case of Nichols- Democrat, against Peck, Republican, in tho twenty-fifth dis trict, the court, in opinions written by Judces Rueer. Gray and O'Brien, and dis- Bcnted from by Judges I'ockham and An- draws, decides that the inspector cannot lawfully count ballots found in the box, which it was their duty to refuse when of fered by the elector. Lost eveninc tho state board of canvass ers declared Osborn, Democrat, elected in tho Fifteenth senatorial district; Derby, Republican, elected in the Sixteenth, and Nichols, Democrat, elected in the Twenty fifth. The Twenty-seventh senatorial dis trict result was left to bo determined by the senate. Theso decisions make- the senate Democratic. The benate will now stand upon organiza tion sixteen Democrats, fifteen Republicans and one vacant seat to be settled by the senate. Even if the senate, in the face of the decision against Sherwood's eligibility by the court of appeals, seats him tho Demo crats will have tho costing vote through the beutenant governor.

PRINCE CHRISTIAN PEPPERED. The Duke of Cotiuaught Accidentally Wouiids lllm While ou a Hunting Trip, London, Dec. 20. His Royal Highness Christian of Schleswig-Holstein, while hunt ing near Osborn Ca&tle was accidentally tshot by the Duke of Counaught. His condition is precarious. According to all accounts tho prince was slightly in advance of the party, unknown to tho duke, who raised his gun and fired at a pheasant.
