Now let the llepublienns get together work for the success of the ticket, ntlmitteil on all sides that too I much attention has been given to the league fight and work for the ticket nominated at tho slate convention ii cannot be pushed too vigorously, ii Pennsylvania's returns this vear will be taken as an indication of what may be expected iu the presidential cam paign, so let all Republicans prepare to show the enemy that the old Keystone state is still true to tho cause of good government. The leaguo light is over and it will be policy to let the matter drop. People who hint that the re sult will Jeopardize the state ticket will do well to change the subject and not place themselves in a ridiculous ij position. There are many Republl- icin clubs iu the state and their rolls bear the names of thousands of Re publicans, but it must be reriembered jv that there are many thousands of Y Rflniihlimins who lira not members of organizations and to them the 45 CENTS for a window shade with friuge, others for 65c, 65o and up.

More than three months ago the Item began tho agitation for an im provement In our mail service, which has since then been spread by other journals. Wo then pointed out how alow and unsatisfactory were our means of communication with the largest town in the county, which is only four miles away, yet cuu be reached by mall only in as ninny hours as it t'tkes to reach New York. The Shenandoah Herald shows, on the evideuceoniioPotmaster,that it takes about forty hours to send a letter uud receive a reply. Our connection with all (he towns in the Mahauoy and the Catawlssa valleys and other towns reached iu that way is equally uusatis factory. With Pottsvllle and other points south and east our communica tions are excellent, but in other direc tions they are certainly of a backward character. To reach Ashland, Maha- noy City and Shamokin, we must either send by a route most circuitous aud lengthy and slow, or wait for a service which is given but once a day, Superintendent Jackson has Im proved the postal service in this region but Frackvillo has scarcely benefited by It. We Invite his attention to the proposed route via tho Pennsylvania aud the Lehigh Valley lines, which the Hem urged last Juno and the Herald is pushing now. Fraokville Item.

THEMES TERSELY TABULATED Tho Tattlo of tho Tattlora TImoly Takon rind. Told Typograpically In a Tasteful and Tempt ing Tono. Ono of tbo oldest nnd most prominent busine men of thu town yesterday .sug- gestod to a Herald roportor a plan f)r or gan!zation in liou of a board of trade. Tho itloa i a novel ono nnd tho plan appears fimiblo. II is suggested that a co-opera-tivo industrial organization, having for its object tho promotion of homo industries, bo formed. That property holdors, bu.'inos men, and taxpayers who nro not proporty holders or business men, ho enlisted and each member pay in ono dollar per month on och sharo. On.an issue of 600 shares tho incoma would bn ?o00 per month and such an inoomo would lay a good founda tion for serious and healthy industrial movements. Of course if tho ono or two thousand sbaros could bo disposed of, so much mora healthy tho movomont would bo. When sufficient funds aro accumu lated the association would bo in a position to give outside capitalist! and manufac turers, who are. now rapping at our doors, substantial encouragement without casting a burden upon any clas of citizons, Tho property holder, of course.is tho most inter ested in having industries established in the town and he could woll afford to walvo in terest f r a whilo on thj Installments ho would pay into the fund The business man is equally interested and tho taxpayor who Is not ongage i In business and does not own property wou'd also have an in teret. In tho caso of tho latter tho holder ot shares who takes an nctivo interest in tbo affairs t( the association would bo in a bettor position to sccuro work for his rela tives in tho factorios or other industries that might bo establisboi than tho mun who interested himself in no way with tho organization. Tho gentleman suggests that a meeting of citizens bo callod to dis cuss the plan. Members of tho gentlo fox, residing in adjoining dwellings in the eastern part of the town, yesterday engaged in a wordy battlo that bad an nmming termination. To tho uninitiated tbo passages tho com batants hurled at each other sounded like so much Groek. All the roportor could understand was, "You did," "I didn't," "You'r a llnr," "Come out hero and say that," "Go in tho houso, you dirty thing," "I am, am I?," "When?" "Sunday night," "O, what a lie I," "You did," "Did you overhear tho like?"e'c. Tho battlo continued soyoral minutes and then ono of tho parties dashed into tho houso, squatted herself at an organ and proceeded to drown tho vocalisms outside. Tbotuno was that of tho beautiful hymn, "Shall wo Gathor at the River ?" The Amazon who was loft outside stopped talking, listenod for a moment and then shouted In a voico calculated loud enough to bo board by tho player, "Thero' 11 bo no river in tbo next world you'll go to, so thoro," and thero was a general slamming of doors and the dog in tho yard crawled into its kennel amid the death-liko silence that prevailed. Tbo local men of tho forest, otherwiso known as members of Shenandoah Tribe, No. 155, Improved Order of ited Mon, bad a jolly time at tho state fair In Bethlehem yosterday, Tho excursion was well patron ized. Over 200 tickets wore sold at the Le high Valley dopot. Thay returned to town about 11 o'clock last night, fully satisfied with tho trip and what they saw at tho fair. Tbo town Is as dull as a barnstorming company's production of "Komeo and Juliet" and tho lot of the news gleaner is a hard ono. "Not oven a dog fight," re marked Justice Monaghan, of tho First ward, this morning. "But thero is always a calm beforo a storm and as tho 1 & 11. O, & I.
