The Sunday Wilkes-Barre Loader,
commenting on the suit instituted by
Editor Hart against the county for the
payment of 300 for publishing the
county statement, says: "The, Pitts
ton Gazette, whioh by the way, vigor
ously supported Abeduego Ri'eae for
the controllership last fall, has been
compelled to sue the county eomrais -shiners
for a bill of 800 for advertis
ing the county statement, simply be
cause Abednego's conscientious scru
ples would not permit him to approve
what ho was pleased to regard an ex
cessive charge, tbongh he knows no
more about the merits of the
case than tho average newioaper pub
lisher knows about mining coal, the
governing principles of which--at least
in the matter of paying for labor the
controller is endeavoring to apply to
the affairs of the county. Further than
tliis, the bill is for work given the
Gazette before Mr. Reose came info
office nnd ho really has no business
with it anyway. For the publication
or the statement $300 has always been
allowed; but Reese wants to cnt it
down more than half, to about $1 10. Il
is hoped that the controller will feel
tlio pricking of his conscience when he
eonu-8 to draw hia salary for the
present month of May and refuso to
accept pay for the time he tore him
self away from tho duties of his of
tier to attend the state convention
rtt Harriet urg. Right is right, nnd it
is not right for him to be drawing pay
from ihe taxpayers of the county the
larger portion of whom are Democrats,
while hobnobbing with the Republi
can politicians at the Btato capital,
luat isn't what the peuplo employ him
for, and one who is so feartul of pay
ing somebody else a dollar or two mort
than is earned should not be willing
lo nccept for himself pay for any time
not absolutely given to his employers.
Hj will therefore bo exp cted to turn
in his lost time nnd havo the commis
sioners deduct it when drawing the
order for his salary, or if they omit to
do so, it is coufi lently anticipated that
ne will not approve the order until it
shall have been corrected "
Among thosj prominently mentioned
as a probable candidate on the Damo

from the Second district is W. L Hibhs,
