While the Interior counties are always found in line and tl cir majorities looked for to swell tho general aggregate, they should out of all fairness be given recognition, and that recognition should be accorded this year since there Is bucu an abundance of avail able timber from which to make a choice. There is entirely too much fighting In tho Republican ranks to ftlve the party any hope for victory this year. TheNewYork Republicans realize tills and are' trying to get together again, but a new fight Is in progress in Pennsylvania to retire Senator Quay. Tho least that can be said Is that Con gresbimu Dalzell and his friends are giving the Democrats every encourage ment for success in the next Presi dential campaign. The latter nro taking Ex-Senator Wallace's advice to drop all factional fights and go in to win. Senator Wallace is shrewd. He knows that if Dalzell aud his friends can I e urged on in their hammering of Quay and all Democratic factions can be united, nothing under the broad canopy of heaven can save the Republican party from a trip up salt river In '02. Now let tho Republicans make a serious effort to get together. Lat them discuss and settle the Issues in caucus aud resolve to abide the results there. The continual washing of dirty linen disgusts people some time and the men who can agree to fight and can accept defeat gracefully are the men who stand tho best chance with tho people. Get together, fight it out in caucus, and may the best man win. The scheme of Senator Hill to have the New York Legislature elect Presidential Electors will no doubt be carried out, since his party have clear majority in both branches in that bodyto carry out Ills wishes. This is just wtiat was to be expected of a party that bellevps in seizing every oppor tunity to make their success this year assured. Had the Republicans of that state burled their jealousies and come out and voted this would not have happened. The Republicans must now carry every atato north of the Mason and Dixon line, arid AVest, Virginia, to win In the next 'Preal deutial election, New York being assuredly Democratic.

A Full Report of All That Was Councilmen, with a Copy the of Resolutions and the Speeches Made Upon them Verbatim'. Other Borough Business. All but two of the morabors worepresont at tbo meeting of thp Borough Council last night.. Tho wore : Messrs. Gablo, Junius, Scboily, Holman, Botteridgo, Devers, Amour, Lamb, Wurm, Ooakloy, Portz, Moaklor and Van Dusen. Tho water quoktlon absorbed most of the session and very little time was givon to other business. "When Chairman Gabto callod out ""Water Committee," Mr. Lamb responded. Mr. Lamb said: "Sir. President, on the question of water, tho committee is pro ceeding as rapidly as It is possible, under tho difficulties wo have to contend with. It is almoit Impossible to cither make the people ot town, or this council, understand the difficulties wo have to put up with. No matter what steps we taka impediments are thrown In our road. Tho poople of this town want water, and it will bo a danger ous experiment for this council to say otherwise. The people interested in this water company somo of thorn have made remarks that are not pleasant for this committee, or this council to hoar. I havo refrained from using ono word detrimental to them individually. I wai hoping that somebody would bo present this ovoningthat I might have a chance to defend myself, but I do not wish to sponk behind any man's back, I was told only this evonlng by n member of council, whu is not ono of tho committoo, of certain transactions misrepresenting me altogether, and yot, instend of making mo the inno cent, I havo been made the rogue. But I will say nothing, If It Is noce?fnry, at any timo,.to defend myself, or members of this committee, I am ready to do it by affidavit. "Wo havo, at tho present tim5, surveyors gding over tbo lino pipe line making surveys and mapping out the town, etc. I havo also got a sot of nuotulions hero, signed by T. J. James, A. D. Gable, Daniel Gmkloy, Oscar Betteridgo, A. B. Lamb, M. G. "Wurm, T. II. Van Dusou and Thomas Moakler. I would ask the ftcrotury to read them. I have ask d ovory member of rouneil present to sign them. It is time that every councilman be put on his metal. It he it right, bis name should bo there. If ho is not right why, it is not there. Mr. Lamb then banded tho resolution to Bocrotary Warren J. Toil z They rend us follows : "Whekkas, It is rumored that corrup' influence Is being brought to liear on mem bers of the IJ rough Council, with the view ot having 0 nuicil take action advuran to what has already been done by mid h ougb Gounod in the matter of u borough water plant. And "WiiKRiiAS, The oommiltee created In said Borough Council, known as the "Water Committee," has, in connection with the citizens' committee, oxpended oonsiderqblo money in tbo preliminary work of securing an ample supply of pure water for dtunestio and other purposes, said expenditures being the result ot tbo aeMnl the Borough Oounod; and "WliuaiSAS, Any aoilon, at this time, an Ugoi.istic to the ork of said Joint water oommittco will moan a loss to the borough, not only of money oxpendod, but ol iho possession of tho stream of water tboy now bave, which, no doubt, will be poMMed by the Shenandoah Water Com pany In os0 wo will have to relinquish the ciiuo. Thero'ore bo it llcsolvcd, lly the Bjrough Council of Shenandoah, l'a , that we fully endorse ad that has boon done by the joint committee, known as tho ""Water Committeo," and having implicit confidence In tbeir ability and integrity, wo empower them tc do all lawful aetB in completing the vork of building n borough water plan'. Resolved, That it is tho sense of this Borough Council that said committee has tli 0 power to make all tioceiury arrange ments for tbo issuing of bonds to raise the money tht will bo requlrod for payment of material, etc., far the construction of the borough water works. T. J. James, A. D. Gable. ijak1kl coa.ki.tcy, Ouoaji Bkttjsripoe, A. B. Lamii, M. G. Wuatt, ;i H. VanDubsn, TlIOUAS MOAKLEK." Immediately after the reading of tbo resolutions Mr. Ooakloy said, "I, for ono, am very glad to got the clinn .e to defend myself agalast tho rumors that we aro all bought up," Mr. Scholfly said, "I could not sign that paper unless I knew what amount of bonds this borough wants to issue. It ought to stated what these works are going to .cost, uounoll, as won aa the citizens, in Council Creates An Done Last Evening by the ought to know If it is going to cost 550,000, or 9100,000. Let thorn say so." Mr, Dovers: "That is my fooling. I got no information from this committee what they were goine to do, or anyth ng else. 1 would like to havo tho water, but I would like to havo Information of what is going on." Mr, Amour: "lam iu tho same boat, Mr Lamb Bald he was going to gijo me information ; but he aiked mo to sign that paper ; but I would like to know what is going to bo the probablo cost of pipes, dams and pumping station. I am in favor of tbo borough owing the water works, but I want to know tho cost" Mr. ilotman : "I agreo with tho petition until it comes to issuing tbo bonds, "We had an election by which $45,000 was allowed for water works. If wo could do it for that I would siga all papers brought hero, but until I know that I will sign no papers. The first part ol the petition is all right. Mr. Limb: "Mr. President, I don't mean to make charges against anybody, but I tell you the air is full of rumors and if you people do what is said something is crooked. It is only a few weeks ago since llieso men voted in favor of running our own water works. Tho conditions are not changed, Thoy voted in favor of the com mlttee appointed for that purpose. They told us to go ahead. Thoy know then that we had f4'i000 already. They know that I have reported that wo havo beon work ing and acting under legal advice and that wo aro not going to get this council In a holo. Tbey know we are not anxious to gel in ono our ourselves. The question that puzzles mo is why have they changed from a lew weeks ago. Tho people of this town want wator. Wo woro instructed by the public meeting to do it. This com mittee was appqintod to do it and we havo rep Tted everything we tnow of, I told these men at tho last meeting that If they wanted any information at any time they oould havo it by asking tho committeo and that was pubdehed in tho Herald. They nave neter oome to mo to ask anything ati.mtit. Tbey aro not Inquiring about lwt this committee is doing they aro in quiring aboutsoruething else." vi r Betteridgo; "Something struck me, n d that ii this: that when Mr. Holman said he would sign that petition, providing wh could get a watur plaDt for 515 000 Now, why n it that tho Shenandoah "Water ' 'ompany asks $125,0,0 for its plant? "Why, we would be able to wort; miracles if wo could get a new plant for $-15,000. If I was not on that committee and didn't know anything about it I w uld bo vory well ffif-fled If that committeo could put in a new plant for $123,000, when tho water oompaoy asks that price for its old plant." Mr. Holmun : "Tho peoplo say we shall spend $45,000. Wo didn't apk tho peoplo whether wo should spend $125,000 for water, If wo could run water in for $45,000 I would be ono of tho first to sign that paper " M r. James: "This oommitteo does not pro pose to spend $125,000 without asking tho poople for permission to spend the difference between $46,000 and $126,000. They have said, and did say ten years ago, that tho bor ough debt oould bo increased $45,000. Wo bavo been advised by good legal talent that that stands good and wo havo a right to go ahead and expend that money for that same purpoko. Wo also havo a right to have a bonded indebtedness in this borough equal to 2 por cent, of the assessed valua tion. Wo can get from $3,000 to $10,000 added to tbo $15,000, so that wo have $55,000 to start this plant with. After wn have oxpended ,$55,000, wo proposo to ask tho peoplo, and the people are ready and willing to grant tho request, for whatover is neodod and wo know just what this plant is going to post us. There is not ono of tbo gontleinen opposed to this thing who are not &waro that this committee proposos eponding all tho money tho law allqws us, and no more." Mr. Holman : "And havo tho plant ly ing there partly finished 1" Mr. James: "Tho people will bavo to finish it." Mr. Wurm s "Tho poople say go ahoad. The people aro crying for water the whole lime."

Wedno'day's fall of n w was not 1 heavy ono, but it was sufll-lent to gluddnn tho hoarta of tho boys ani girls who wer. fortunate onougli to be the owners nl leighs.

Of ceurso tho hoys could not content themselves with drawing their sisters and sisters of othor boys on sWs on the pave ment. That was not exciting enough and tho coasting placo3 wore woll patronized. Coasting pushes baso ball hard fur second placo in the heart of Young America. Danger I Why, bless your heart, what do they care for that, It's coasting they like, coasting thoy want and coasting they'll havo danger, or no dangor. Ask the average small boy why ho porsiats in the dangorous sport and ho will lose no time in telling you that sleighs were made for it. BOBBY AND HIS "BOB." But boys and girls are not always tho best judges of what they shall or shall not do. A kind hearted old gentleman stoppoi a ruddy-faced little boy yesterday and said, "Sonny, don't you know you aro liable to be seriously hurt or. perhaps killed, by coasting down this hill?" "Is dat so? Well, don'tcher know I've beon In der breaker all day and dad says all work and no play would mako rao wormy?" "Bear m"," said tho old gentleman, "your dear father may have a large doctor bill to pay for Ibis play. Oan't you do something else?" "Look 'ere," oxclaimod the urchin with somo spirit, "if yor jalous, get on I'll give yer a ride." Ot courso the old gentleman walked off disgusted, whilo tho breaker lad bounced upon his sled and shouted as he dashed down tho bill, "Look out dare, Skolly, or I'll bust one of yer runners. Dare are no lumps in dis chute." The polloo give notlco that tbey will a'rest all boys caught coatiug on hills leadiug to railway crossings. A Million FriendB.

I am of the opinion that If somo of our Congressmen had never been born It would havo beon a blesdng to the country and especially to their eon- diluents. Their wholo object soems to bo to destroy American industries. Preo ami I Freo iron 1 1 Free tin 1 1 1 Oui, of four hundred biils introduced only one was in favor of ihe workingman. The rhap- laln should havo invoked Divine guidanto on the minds of tho European royalty o that tbey might send oaoh of the freo traders a pass to the countries that reap the benefit of freo trade. To pass the bills I rofor to would be tho greatest iniustico to tho sons of toil. The intelligent render will agree with me that in our own 8tat, for the lest quarter of the century, thero has been scarcely any legislation in favor of the workingman. If, perchance, a bill ib presented in his favor, by the time ho se:s it in print, it is lull ' of loopholes, so that it is like a sieve, and, invariably, thero is no penally fixed for n violation of the act. To-day thero are thousands of workingmen in the coal fields of this com monwealth who bavo never bon paid af- cording to the tomi-monthly pay law. Ihis is especially Iruo with regard to Lacl awanna and Luzerne counties. Way tho employers aro allowod to defy the laws I am at a Iosb to understand. The work of tho sieve is plain in this case. Another evil tho workiiigman has just cau-e to complain of is the accursed compny 6tori ystem. Tho owners of those stores aro making colossal fortunes from tho sweat of tbo toilors. In this concern tho working man is fleeced unmercifully and if the poor wretch has the moral courage to protest against tho exorbitant prices, by a slow, but sure process, ho will be informed that his services aro no longer required. The sieve is apparent again, A certain orator once said "labor Is holy." Had he lived in tho presont day it would bo an easy matter to convince him that to labor in a mine under existing ovils Is equal to slavery. It is truo there aro somo companies that ntideavor to treat their employes with re spect. In my noxt I shall spoak of them. Honor to whom honor is due. Ou Miner, Shenandoah, Pa., Jan. 7, 1892.
