HE'S ALIi RIGHT.
County Chairman James is not
conducting the Republican campaign
on tho brass band principle, yet hois
fill ther ahead in his campaign work
!flu the astute chairman of tho
Democratic committee, notwithstand
ing tho declarations of "Jack Smith"
to the contrary. His headquarters In
Fottsvllle have been open for feverul
weeks past and no time has been
wasted. Those who look upon Mr.
James as a pumpkin will learn their
mistake on tho day after election.
"Jack Smith's" last letter to the
S'news had an I'm-at-sea tone about
it that tickled the Republicans who
read it. "Jack Smith" is not in a
position this year to play the spy in
tho Republican camp for the benefit of
tho Democratic county chairman and,
therefore, Mr. James appears idle to
him. The Democrats need not worry,
the Republican campaign can bo
satisfactorily conducted without the
aid of "Jack Smith," or the S'news.

THOUGHTS ON THIS AND THAT
THREADED TOGETHER.
THEMES TERSELY TABULATED
Tho Tattlo of tho Tattlers Tlmoly
Taken and Told Typogrnplcally
In a Tasteful and Tempt
ing Tono.
Tho suggestion mado by an old citizen,
and which appeared in tho Herald last
woek, Is alroady bearing fruit.
At a mooting of ono of tho local socrot
societios tho suggestion was debatod, and
resulted in an expression of sontimont
favorablo to tho proposition.
It Is thought tho secret societios of tho
town can woll afford to tako a numbor of
shares in such an undertaking, as it will
placo them in a position to lessen thoir
burdons by providing employment for tho
widows and orphans of docoased membors
who aro frequently left in distressing cir
cumstances. V
If tho lodgos could grasp this idea
intelligently tho co-oporativo industrial
movement would soon start out with 250
shares subscribed.
V
Tho schomo sugEostod Is on tho building
and loan association plan. "With COO shares
subscribed thore would bo an income of
$500 por month on payment of 81 per
month on each share. This incomo would
soon swoll to a sum largo enough to bo used
in securing satisfactory iltos for buildings
that could bo usod for factories.
V
Tho primo object would bo to givo om
ployment to tho largo amount of surplus
labor in the town, which would causo
ronowed activity in tho circulation of
money, directly benefit membors of the
sunscriDing societies, or thoir tnends, or
relatives, and give tho business pooplo of
tho town a ronowed lease of prosperity,
"In unioii thero Is strength" and tho
schomo is ono which would onablo the man
who is now unable to contributo a dollar
towards holping to build up tho town to
bocomo an Important factor in making tho
place one of tho industrial centers of tho
state,
Look at tho result I Busy workshops of
all kinds. Now homes throughout tho
valloy. Busy, business men. Increased
revenues for tho borough. Pormanont Im
provements. Enhanced values of prop
erties. "Would it not bo a glorious result?
Is it worth the attempt? Mako a move,

Itoterringto tho oleclrio railway articlo
in Monday's Herald, one of our town
drones romarked, "O, that wind pipe, tho
Herald, is only trying to boom it again."
Tho speaker was ono of the individuals
with long cars who make similar com,'
menU on all movomonts of progress.
When gas wits suggested as a substitute for
tallow dips and caMphendahd fluid lamps
thoy yellod "Wind." When olectric
lights woro suggested as substitutes Ifor gas
burners they yelled "Wind." When tho
erection of a largo theatre and a largo hotel
was advocated, "Wind," yelled tho' long
oared mon. When the Herald suggostod
that it would bo a good idea to run a rail
road down tho mountain fron Frackvillo it
was "Wind" again. The truth is tbo wind
all comes from tho lorjg-oarnod individuals.
Thoy nro wind bags, and nothing elso.
They havo fio enterprise in thom. They
laugh and ridicule all enterprising pnjects,
but whon tho schemes dovij'.op into a form
promising profits Iho run forward to sharo

Tho readers of tho Herald will rorm ru

a man who represented himself as Dr. H.
o. Darwin, 01 uaiumoro, Ma., who was
accompanied at tho timo by a man named
weller, a cattlo doalor of Middleburg.
After tho horso was takon from him Tag-
Kill had a warrant issued for tho arrest of
both Darwin and Wollor.
About two wooks ago Chlof Amour ar
rested Woller at Middloburg and $1,000
bail was furnished beforo a Justice of tbo
Peace at that placo for an appearanco at
the trial in Fottsvillo. No cluo to "Dr.
Darwin could bo secured, but ye6torday
afternoon Chief Amour rccoived tho fol
lowing tolographlc dispatch from Middlo
burg: "Darwin in jail hero; badly
wounded. Brought throo horsos again."
Amour was congratulating hlmsolf upon
tho termination of Darwin's career and tho
prospects of having him under lock and
