Chicago Is nothing unless she Is
novel. One of her citizens wantt fo
fieouro capital to dig a "World's Fair
hole ten miles Jeep," to bo fitted with
a series of mammoth elevators which
will on vnutn n( .,.
W ealoons, thoatres and beer gardens.
He estimates that sufficient gold, sil
ver and other metuls, to say nothing
of diamonds and precious stones, will
be found while digging this hole to
pay for tho expense, leaving tho rev
enue from "bar privileges" excursions,
etc., to return a very handsome profit
on tho (w)hole investment. If we
could have a guarantee that this hole
would be only ten miles deep we
should rest easier. Eut what is to
hinder this Chicago digger piercing
the earth? For our part we believe
this is a subterfuge on his part, and
that he intends to go through to
China, and use this new route to
bring tea and Chinamen into the Chi
cago market to tho detriment of the
existing steamship and railroad iin
and to convert a lake port into a dlr ct
port of foreign entry, and thus wipe
out New York and Bun Francisco,

Ttfis may be a good opportunity to
state that George Hellnor a-i Director
of the Poor never had any pattouuge
to give to any newspaper. This gives
the lie to his industriously circulated
report that the Eepuolican opposes
him because he wouldn't give us his
publio patrounge. "incompetency" is
all we have to urge against his candi
dacy .ZJejj ub 'lean .
T ue. Audit may be equally tiuo
that Heffiier might have placed him
self in a position to bestow patronage
upon the Republican and It friends,
but would not stultify himself, and
that that is the reasoa why the He-
publican is pjalust liim. The IV
publicau papers of the couuty have
called upon the Reimblican to be "a
man or a mouse" and it looks as if the
sheet has determined to be a dock rat
in this campaign.
Upon serious contemplation, tho de
feat of John A. Nash was one of the
most ungrateful acts ever perpetrated
by the Democrats of this couuty. Ho
is a brilliant lawyer and has been a
life-long Democrat, and to bo denied,
without any apparent reason, tho first
and only thing ho hr. ever asked his
party was treatment which even Re
publicans are bound to look upon as
shabby.
The question of the day is, "Will
the Irish Democrats allow the German
faction to pull the Woll over their
eyes?"
When the attempt was made to put
a third Potlsvllle Democrat on the
ticket every German yelled Nich(ter)
cumrous.
"A ii L of a ticket," is what our
Democratic friends of town call it,
uud they are in a majority, too.
Whoever thinks this is going to bo
u quiet campaign will find themselves
much mistaken before It is over.
Th eks is lots of harmony in the
Democratio ranks (?)

thoro Is no foundation for tho charges
mado against tho firo boss of tho colliery
by friends of tho two d.md men. They say
thai the deceased met tho flio boss and ho

"The flro boss is William Bainbridgo.
Yestorday I oxaminod IIopo, Noon and
Fritz, tho thtoo bottom men, and they
swear positively that they heard Bain
bridgo warn Mi'bkoll and Piper not to go
into their breast until ho would return, as
there was gas in their place. The witnossos
aUo say that two Poles woro present whou
this warning was given. They could not
bo found yesterday, but will bo present at
tho coroner's inquest. In addition to this
Balnbridge, thu flro boss, swears ho ex
amined tho pbico at 5:20 in tho morning,
found gas thore and warned tho unfortunate
men."
"Doy Knows Somedlngs."
A representative of tho Herav o yestor
day met a prominent Democrat from West
Brunswick, who was in n most happy
mood. "Yaw," said ho, "dom follows
