We desire to call the attention of our readers to the vital importance of being registered or assessed on or be fore Thursday, September 3d. The Democrats are making extraordinary efforts to have all their voters enrolled and assessed. Let Republicans coun teract the results of their eflorts by doing likewise. Dalzell refuses to retire from the league presidency field with Congress man Robinson In the interest of har mony. As. this is a good year for kickers It may be possible for Dalzell to kick himself in, but we doubt his ability to do so. By the way, should not the straightouts have some en couragement ? IiAbt week the pension office at Washington issued 6,297 pension cer tificates. These called for a total first payment of iG4,847. This amount seems large. Over half a million paid out last week alone, and merely to new claimants on the publlcbounty. How- 03Z33KTIX',3 PER YD. & fora GOOD HOME MADE RAG STAIR CARPET, taken out of the loom to-day. C. ID.

The Integrity of this nation to-day, as well as Its commercial prosperity, Is due ulone to his gallantry and hla courage. The United States Is redeem ing her pledge well to those who fought for her her life and her honor. No old soldier and no old soldier's wife or children will bo left to feel the pangs of hunger while Uncle Sam has a dol lar left In the treasury. Mark our words. It will not be many years beforo American shipyards will be engaged In building ironclads for foreign navies. Already the naval experts of one power have been feeling our market for a couple of big battle ships. Why not? IRELAND'S MISGOVERNMENT, Sometimes figures are more eloquent than words. The new official census of Great Britain shows that while fifty years ago there were 8,105,124 i souls in Ireland, there are now only 4.700,101 souls a loss of about three and a half millions of population in that period, 450,000 of Whioh are cred' ited to the decade just passed. And the most striking feature of this state of facts is that the north of the island is a greater loser than other parts of the island. In the last ten years the number of abaudoned homesteads and dwellings in all Ireland has increased 12 per cent. The Irish land bill, if there be any virtue in it, passed none too soon. It will take much good gov eminent to replace In small part what bad government has wantonly de stroyed. The evil done can never be fully atoned for. FOR THE SCHOOLS.

THOUGHTS ON THIS AND THAT THREADED TOGETHER. HEMES TERSELY TABULATED. Ihe Tattle of the Tattlers Timely Taken and Told Typograplcally In a Tastoful and Tempt ing Tono. There is something choorful in tbo sight that moots one's otes to-day. lie e and thero ho meots a coup of school cb' dren, weighted with books, ela.03 and olhor edu catlonal perquVtes, bound to or from the school house or tea book store, full of oagor excitement and vo'y evidently re joicing that the tcbool days havo again begun. Tbey havo opjoyod tboir Jong vacation and many of ibom woro loath to see us lorm grow shorter and tbo limo of work draw near. Ajd yet when the school day actually conies and tbo school boll rings tbey scamper off to their arithmetics and spoiling with as much alacrity as if the books were doHs or base ball bats. Thore is on immeofo amojnt of enthusiasm ex pressed on tho face3 and in thu speech of our school children of all ages to-day And for tho typical laggard, "creepin: liKO snail unwillingly to school." ono Would have to search long and fruitlessly. Of oourso Shenandoah children do not all lovo school. It is not tbo naluro of every child no', porbapr, of many children so to do. Tho eminent Edward Evorelt Ilalo has said, in a recent magazine article, that be always haled school and was en couraged to bato it. And, strange as such words sound f'om ouo of tbo deepest students and most widoly read scholars of tho ago, thoy probably pretty accurately eipress tho sentiments of many of tbo aplost pupils of our Ecbools. It was Dr. Halo's hatred of school, ho tells us, that mado him apply himself raoro diligently. He knew his lessons must bo loarnoi, and ho made baste to learn tbem, that tbo ab horred task might bo as spoodily as possible finished. Those of our pupils who lovo school will learn readily enough. The discipline that was applied in Dr. Ilalo's caso mako ovon tboso who lean toward truancy tho head boys of tho class. The childron who hate school in tho ab stract are the most ontbusiasllo pupils to day. Ask tbo teachers if it is not so. Tho boys who are tbo most unruly and tbe girls who rofuso to study aro apparently tho most oajer to begin tho school yjar. They do notreaby lovo to study. Tbe flwttnn minute reccs ot the now lorm will bo to them one of the baopiest ton mlnulei ever known. A ed yet tbe'r avtual dolight over school's beginning far exceeds tbat of their more demurely studious com-ades. V "Why cii't Ibis eager ODtbutlaira bo al ways maintained 7 Why need it wear away and tbo eoorot pleasu-o of t;i'dy 'or tbo boys and c''ls in question w''M cever openly admit it is a p'oature be tbe perennial substitute for tbo g-inding drudgery tbat seems su.-o to set in next wcok. Perhaps our wleo toscbers may mako It so. Perhaps tbey will see that a hov who b ,Ua ma'.bematios can oot bo made to ado-o tbem, and bo may novclbelfM be made vory proficient in them. PerbapUbev wll take tho cue Iron the ao'Jvity of'i;sor that lazy boy to-day and endeavor to keep him active all year. Perhaps they will,; -y to improcs on their pupils tbat trite b'.'t wholesome lesson that the more diligont'y tbey work the briefer will bo the haled labor. And thus, porhaps, even like Dr. Halo, tbey will reach a period when da- tested study will become unconsciously a dolight. We will at lout hope so. And let us hope that the relations of parents and pupils will not be marred dur log the ensuing term as thoy woro during the last. Let parents act with forobearanco and, should tbey feel called upon to In quire in complaints mado to tbem by children, let them do so with a spirit of fairness and not pronounce guilty upon anyone until a full Investigation is made. With a spirit of harmony prevailing be' tween parent and teacher the child can gain much. But the Influence of home and the school room must bo combin d before arjygood losult can boa'la'nod. When ever a child topo Is a ciovaoco let tho Ds eot consult wl,h tbo toaoberln asp ,'t ca'oiiialed to p'-omoie an am'cab'o ar arge- raont, and not do or say anything that w'll tood to sow seeds of dlico'd Rnd prec'pUato a lud;c-ous oxbibUfon befo.-o the ichool load. School teacbe s a;o human and a orab'atooif, bulfio Inves'igalioos du -fDg .bo last to ms showed that most of tbo cr o swore chargeable to tbo pa'-on add that had tho uoublos been handled ctOm'y aid jua'c'iocsly much ill feollng would b&vo been avoided. POLITICAL POT-POURRI. Pithy, Pungent, Pleasing Points Polntodly Paragraphod. Get registered. Shenandoah will poll 2,100 to 2 203 voifs celt elec.ioo. The political pot gives internal ovidenco of violent unrest. Tbo clocloa th's yoir will not bo bold under tbo new law. Oandida.os for office aro now making tbo rounds among tbe farmorj. Tbo campaign leUor writer is abroad. Noit wi'l ba tbo nffldivit fiend. Farme-s say thoy no too busy making money this year to talk politics. This ought to bo a bard cider campaign. There will ba plenty of the liquid this fall. The interests of lha Btito administration woro looked after hero on Monday by a delegation consisting of Jim Sweeney, of Ilazloton; Jim Padden of Cass, and Hugh McGarvoy, cilizon at largo. Their instruc tions were to boo that tho administration which employs tbom was not neglectod in tho resolutions, and thoy accompl'sbod their mission without any apparent effort. isunday S' News, (Dom.) Powdorly's friends do not relish the attacks made upon him by tho DmocHtic press. Tbe decision on tho raco question in tbo bons of America has no political signid canco. McKinley is striking hard blows in Ohio His audiences aro the largest over seon at a political mooting. Harrison is willing to withdraw if Blaine wants tbe Presidential nomination. That is tho latest from tho seat of war. The Damocats nominated a ticket that sent a thrill of joy into tho boirt of overy Republican in tbo county. It was a strange combination of deceit, troicbery, corrup lion and stupidity, and wa3 lust powerful enough to defoat tho expressed will of tho majority and to nominate a ticket tbat invites disaster in November. Jack Smith in the S'News. uei. uogg 13 mooting wun a cord'al re ception wherever be goes, 'the old vetei- ans will rally around him to a man. "We hopo the ticket will bo elected in its ontiroiy, but wo have our doubts about it." So tho S Netos comments on the Democratic ticket. Wo doubt with jou, old fol Tbo Republicans aro not troubling them solves about Q ay or Mageo. Thoyaioa unit for the ticket nominalod at Harrisburg and Potlsvillo. When tbo Chronicle mado tho attack o:t Major Pinnoy, last wcok, for leaving bi post on a leave of absence, it did not occur to its bright editor that tbo Democratic boss at Harrisburg was giving out freo passes to tho clerks to onnblo them to attend tho DemocMtio convention in order to bavo the state administration endorsed. Novo?' theloss it was a fact and tho abovo confirms it. Tho S'iYewjBiys Shenandoah was repro sonted at tho Democratic county conren Hon by "half lads," and tbo joke hinges on Denny Doyle failing to pull Na9h through Thero aro quite a number of pretty good political jobs put up for next year already Tbey will all receive careful attention in due time. , Graf will havo more fruit jars Tuesday or Wednesday, RAILWAY MISHAP. Ono Man Killed and Ono Sorlously Injured. James Ferguson, of South Jardin street. was brought to town at noon to.day with his right arm crushed from writt to elbow Ills relatives say he was injured in a coal train wreck at Mtbanoy City, but inquiry at tbe Lehigh and P. & H. depots failed to disclose any sueb wreck, siooco said tb man was Injured at Sbamokio. Ferguson will probably lots tbo arm. He has a wife and two children. Ho was brought to town tbis afternoon. Patrick Joyce, an aged repalrsman, was struck by a P. & II. train at llabsnoy Plana this morning and instantly killed, Walt for Bargains. J. Coffee has gone to Philadelphia and Now Y.'rk to purchaso a stock of goods for both his South Main street stores. Ho will be absent ten days and will bring back with him tho largest and flnost stock of boots, bIioos, clothing and gents' furnishing gsods evor brought to this town. Parties in search of bargains in this line of goods should watch for bis return as he will toll his purchafos at the most reasonable prices imaginablo. Tho stock will be first class in every particular. Watch for Coffee1 return.

REY.POWIGK'SSERMON ONTHESEA Mooting of Olorgymen Yesterday Afternoon in tho P. M. Church to Provent tho Dosooration of tho Sabbath. The pastor having returned a few davB aso f.'om Ocean Grovo tbo subject of last evening's discourse in tbo M6thodlst Episco pal church was "Sea Sido Meditations.'' Tbo text was, "Tbo Sea Is His and Ho mado it." It speaks to us in its vastnos, power and depths of its Alakor. Tbo o dices it porfo.-ms fjr man in bearing away oartb's Bswago, purlfving its atmospboro, equal izing its temperatu o and be'plng to pro- ido its food supplies from its o'gbtthou sand vacict'es of fish proclaims tbo w sdom and goodness of God. No wonder that Cbiist loved tho sea and frequented its ores and tbat wo do tbo samo as oppor- turily aflords. Our rapidly multiplying peasdoreso ts proc'aim tho mato-'al pras- povity of man. Not only tbo rich but the poor aro g owing richer. Notwithstanding isolated exceptions a day's wages repr&onls ore comfort in tbo past decade tban over befoio. Tno coation of larger wants and flier a'pirations maiks an epoch in tbe pward development of tho 'aco indo pendently of tbo question of their realize on. A struggle onsues for an upward rise and somehow we get thero. Honco paupers avo conveniences and comforts within tnelr reacn wn cn r low yean ago woro denied to kings. Only Christianity fur- sshes tho inspiration. Thero Is no progress beyond its pale. Men may doploro tho changes which havo taken place In our camp moetlngs but we aro powerloss to ro slst tbem, Old-fashioned camp meetings aro things of tho past. Wo do not need tho camp meeting as a distinctively spirit' al institution as it was formerly needed Tho multiplication of cbuiches has djno much to supply thu need that called thorn into bolng. But tboy are needed as sum mor resorts under religious auspices. Wo read much of tbe poworful meolings at Ocoan Grove. Truol Men preach llko Paul and sing liko angols although some f the proaching and singing aro as poor as you can find anywhere olse but the inside rojults are no greater than in many lees pretentious places, showing that tho hard ness of tho sinner's heart Is a factor in tbo problom of salvation that defies both human and divine influences. Another tbougbt i3 concerning tbo adaptation of ro ligiousprlnciplos to civil polity. Among the unconvorted thousands at Ocean Grovo ho saw no ono drunk and saw no ono quarrol and heard no one swear. Childron skipped and played in perfect eafoly, Contral Park, New York, spends fSCO,0C3 a year to pro' lect her flower beds and walks but Ocoan grovo with more va'uablo interests gets a'ong with ono or two policemen. Why There aro no saloons. Incarnate fiends aro trying to dos.roy its peace by introducing them. But thero thoy encounter men who have instead of "a cotton string down their back" a roal gonuino back bone. This is all that is needed to mako Shenandoah very different place from what It now is I this respect. Mon wbo instead of doling out moral suasion to Inco-rigiblo rumsellers will imitate the mook and lowly Jesus when he mado a whip of small cords and said to tho incorrigiblo thieves in his fathers houso "get out." Sabbath Obaorvanco. A meeting was hold in tho Primitlvo Mcthoditt church yestorday afternoon at which nearly ovo-y congregation of tho town was represented to consider tbo ques tion of Sabbath observance in geneial and tho suppression of baso hall In particu ar.
