A t'lmk for the Court linn...
A court liouso without a clock in
the ntccplo in n r.ro thing. Yet
when wo look up at tlio Ktorplo of
tho Snydor county -court houso wc
bclufnl tho blank fnecs whero a clock
ouijht to ho. Tho court house wns
built nnd financed so that a clock
couM bo put into -it nt nny time.
Wo bcliovo thnt the Suyclor county
court houHo 1ms Iwen without a
clock long enough nnd thnt now it is
high tiino for tho profrrci ifiivo people
of tho county to m-q that a clock is
placed t hero. If tho people of Mid-
dlcburgh only would bo boncfiltcd
by the prcnenco of a elf ck, we be
lieve the money would b e rained en
tirely nrnong tho rnoplo of tho town
and vicinity, but the pi toplo of the
eutirn county will bo b encfittod by
having a clock in Ike jourt house.
In the first place it wi ll bring the
Snyder county court liouno more
nearly on on oiualit r with our
neighboring, county c ourt houses,
In the second place, w would men
tion the fact that ever y day there
aro people at tho coun ty Beat from
variouH parts of the co anty and dur
ing court weeks all part & of the coun
ty uro represented her v. In view of
tkeso facts the people i if the eotmiy
should bear at loast a I lortion of the
expense. If the ccmi nissioners of
tho couuty will agroo to start the
subscription list with n reasonable
Hum, the people of Mid dlcburgh will
raise the balance. Th ? Muldlcburg
i r in behalf of the cit .izons of Mid
dlcburgh presents this proposition
which will be submitte d to all the
newspapers of thoccun ty so that all
the people may know its nature.
Thi.4 will afford tho co lumissionora
the privilege of actiug intolligoutVy
upon tho expenditure ( f this sum.
We present this matter to the read
ers of the PofT and to tl 10 reader of
all ti e other county papors that wo
may have a full and free discussion
of the subject. r
state, being representatives of both
factions and a sense of ordinary self-
respect and propriety would sug
gest a different mode of operation
on the part of the state chairman.
A majority of the committee, how
ever, can call that body without the
consent of the chairman and this
they propose to do. The committee
will meet next Monday and the con
vention will assemble in the Opera
Houso next Wednesday. A great
many Snyder county republicans,
including Joe Leshcr, will be pres
ent at the convention.
From tho latest information it ap
pears thnt Senator Quay, the ex
ponent of purity in politics, wil
win tho day.
U IikI Shall It Oct
We publish tlsewhero a communi
cation with reference to the nues
tiou of furnishing protection against
the ravages of fire. We believe that
there is not a citizen in the borough
who is blind enough to bo willing
to bo without protection against
l:re. Our correspondent is a heavy
taxpayer and he reviews the situa
lion in a clear, logical and practical
way. We would bo glad to welcome
a full and freo discussion of both
sides of this question. We are in
constant danger of fire and we have
no protection. In all cases of fire
wo are as helpless as infants. Shall
this stato of affairs continue?

13. F. Qilkeson evidently learned a
lesson from the Snyder county Re
publican committee. Ia some of the
payors of last week he is quoted as
saying that ho refused to give
letter for publication on the ground
that he did not approve of making
public a private letter without the
consent of the writer. Evidently
Mr. Oilkeson has learned a lesson
from Snydor county Republicans
'luo sentiment above expressed
wan violated by Mr. Oilkeson in re-
feroneo to chairman Arbogast's let
ter and is in strict harmony with the
spirit of tho Snyder county reso
lutions. If Mr. Oilkeson does not
get any Bupport from Snydor coun
ty, ho gets good advice and what is
more, ho follows it

ding insult to injury. Tho majority
of tho members of tho Stato Com-

It is customary for tho chairman and
tho secretary to nmko up tho roll of
tho convention. This U all right
when then-is no contest but when
tho chairman himself is involved in
a conflict with a faction of tho party
it is a matter of modesty to allow
the committco to make up tho roll
of tho convention. Tho action of
tho Stato Chairman in refusing to
cull tho committco brands him with
tho ignominy of being willing to
servo as jud o and jury in his own
conflict of political ruin and disas
ter. Tho Stato Committee is composed
