Walter : "What will you havo, sir?"
Robinson : "Steak."
Walter: "With mushrooms?"
Robinson : "No, sir ; none for me."
The present attitude of the Journal
demonstrates that paper's howl against
"mushroom" Republican clubs was" a
pure, unadulterated fake. Such papers
dislike the "mushrooms" as much as
the small boy does caudy.
If the Press, Journal aud like
papers really wish success for the Re
publican party why are they not con
sistent? Heretofore they have been
charging Robinson with being an
organizer aud suckling of the "mush

him because he has had the manhood
to step forward aud eay that ho is
Y-opposed to such organizations and

The definition of the above editorial
is that Robinson should have remained
silent under the charges and should
have allowed the "mushroom" club
fakirs to complete their dirty work by
presenting a resolution condemning
him for that of which he was not
guilty. Mr. Robinson would have
been very foolish had he not taken the
stand he did before the Executive
Committee. He unmasked his accusers
and proved himself innocent with one
blow. When the Journal attempts to
show that Robinson had no right to
defend himself It shows its ears.
The great clinch pending in Louis
iana between the lottery and anti-lot
tery parties seems to have aroused the
Louisiana tiger from his lair. The lot
tery is a disgrace to Louisiana, no doubt,
but if it cannot be abolished without
carrying the open threats of revolution
by both parties into ellect we cannot
think the principle Involved worth
such a sacrifice. It Is a turbulent
people anyhow, aud threats are to the
masses there as lire'to tow-. Thelottety
furnishes an excuse to the masses for
gambling, a business fatal to fixity of
purpose and therefore destructive to
public morals. It is not many years
ago that people supposed to be foremost
in respectability were firm supporters
of the lottery. The protests indulged
by northern papers were passionately
resented by the moat reputable organs
of public opinion there. There has
not been time for a formidable public
sentiment adverse to lottery gambling
to grow up, and as all moraljgrowth is
slow it would seem to be the best policy
not to carry the war beyond an earnest
but peaceable struggle at the polls,
Beyond that lies great danger to the
stability of thiugsln Louisiana. Proba
bly the lottery party may resort to
fraud to gain its end. Let it do so.
Men enlisted in a moral enterprise can-
not afford to copy the methods of the
evil they labor to overcome.

tho Burglars ?
One of tho papers that wera missed after
Iho safe belonging to Paul Summa, of South
Main street, was blown open by burglars
severa' days ago, was found yostorday and
restored to tho ownor last night.
John li. Trezise, ot town, is employed in
theolBce of Superintendent John Skoatb,
at Mahanoy City. Yesterday a fireman on
a coal train found a paper on tho railroad,
near tho Mahanoy Oity P. & It. dopot.
Tho paper was turned over to tho engineer
if the train, who romrked to Mr. Trezise,
"This paper was found on the railroad. It
looked likd a bond of some kind, but it
isn't." The engineer was about to throw it
into tho fire, when Mr. Trezise said, "Hold
up I What is It?"
"Oh, a paper bolonging to some Hunk."
Mr. Trezise took the paper and, upon
glancing over it, found that it was Paul
Summa's certificate of citizenship. The
paper was brought to town, and Mr. Tre
zise, accompanied by a Hkrald reporter,
cnlled upon Mr. Summa, Tho paper was
dolivered and Mr. Summa was told whero
it was found. It is believed that Mr. Sum
ma will have a search mado in tho locality
whero the restored paper was pickod up
with tho hopo ot finding more "papers or
other stolen property.
Politics and Politicians.
Major Pinnoy is enthusiastically in favor
of Georgo B. McCreary, of Philadelphia,
for State Treasurer. Nothing would suit
the Shenandoah people botlor than to see
Mr. McOreary roceivo some substantial
public recognition. When Shenandoah
was swept by the conflagration ot Novem
ber, 1883, no member of tho Philadelphia
relief committee worked harder or more
persistently than did Goorge B. McCreary,
for the relief of the suflorers. In
addition to this, Mr. McCreary is an
ex-Schuylkill county "boy" and should he
bi nominsted old Schuylkill will give him
a rousing vote.
Mr. Pomeroy's boom for delegate to tho
Constitutional Convention is an unpre
cedented one and should he consent to be a
candidate there will not be the slightost
doubt about his nomination. Thus far tho
matter has boon entirely in tho hands of
his friends who are legion, and fhould
ho ultimately declino to run it will be a
great disappointment to them.
J. J. Praney is making n warm fight
among tho Ddmoetats for a dolegatoship to
the Constitutional Convention. Ho is not
allowing the grass to grow under his feet
and if -he does not "get there", it will not
be his fault.

offerings for a summer outing, and as tho fare
is very reasonable, within tho reach of all,

ment it will be necessary to take you
into our confidence in the matter nnd
explain ninny little details that would

It Is unnecessary t ask if you wish
to earn your own living; if you wish
to help yonr parents in their hard
struggle. You would uot be nu Amer
ican youug woman if you did not. and
to help you do so the Hoaid of Trade
nus uevitcu a method which, when
put iuto practice, will afiord vou the
much needed opportunity. Now, since
we have taken you into our confidence
wo expect you to Help us, aud the way
we waut you to help us Is to talk to
your parents about it, talk to your
neiguuors about it, talk to your com
panions about It, ask every gentleman

and then when you shall have brought

Hoard of Trade is organized for tlie
purpose of inducing factories to locate

Tho first and most Important step is to
