Bid election to the District Attorneyship three years ago abundantly proves his popularity and, we think, the party will do well by choosing him for thj Judgeship.

If both should step aside, and Governor McKinley, or Senator Sherman, or either of half a dozen strong ment should be nominated, the Republican party would not find itself crippled in any state which It has reason to expect to carry. The fact is that its voters are moved by Its principles. No antagonism, of ideas, no personal rivalries or wrangles, deprive, tho Republican party with freedom to choose as may seem best when the time for nomination comes.

POLITICAL POINTERS. "Jim" Smith Is a hustler. Ho says ho is going to get tbo Democratic nomination for Chief Burgoss. Elect none but the best men for election officers. Under tho new law it will require mon of intelligence and good, common sense to fill tho positions on thoso boards. The first election undor tho now ballot law will take place in November. People who want to voto advisedly should got a copy of the law and read it over carefully. Every person seeking a nomination for a borough office should make an announce ment through his local paper. It costs little, not counting all the fun tbo:e is in it. Tho olection of Lawyer Marr, of Ash land, as Chairman of tho Democratic County Committee, was a bitter dose to the Young Democracy that were to do wonders this year. They havo come down from their band wagon in good style. The ""Wall Paper Syndlcalo" is still on top and it proposes to stay thore. The S'Ncwa did not predict correctly, It was sure of Wadlinger. Dr. Bissell, of Mahanoy City, could have given the Doyles points long ago on this subject, correctly. Doc. Bissell is longer-headed than bis colleagues in his party give him credit. Ho can do more, if ho so feels disposed, than all tho so-called leaders in Mahanoy City put together. New candidates for this and that office in tho coming borough election are mentioned daiiy, but most of them aro too modest to announce themso'ves in the Herald. Safe ana Effective.

EniTon Herald : I am a Democrat, but have been a rfader and eubtcrlber of your paper since 1870 and, on the latter ground, I nsk tor small ipaco In your paper to express my views on affairs politi cal und otherwise, so far as tho town is concorned. I wish to refer to the schemes adopted by certain bosses in the employ of tho P. & R. C. & I. O). Under F. B, Ofwon no one holding a position under that company was permitted to hold a olitical office. It is quite different now and, as a consequonce, there are many citizen miners woo are deprived of the free und full oxerciso of speech aud ballot. I cannot say positively tbat bosses havo made direct throats to enforce tin ir de.ires. "We all know tLa. ther aro m ro ways than one to kill a cat und no one is belter acquainted with tbn ways than the modern I. & It. Company m.no boss. Tho company would gain much more if Mr. Gowen's policy were put in operation again. Tho clamoring of tho bossos for positions in the Borough Council leads to suipicion und thai suspicion incr a o- wi h the ucti ns of those who succeed in getting there and mukes the community more delicate in awarding concessions to tho company than it would bo Yihder other circumstances. Ouly retontly tho power ot tno boss has beon put to the test The joint water committee decided to circulate petitions for tho signa urts of the citizens of town setting forth an endorse ment of the work ol the joint committee. Those petitions aro to bo used in the in junction suit. Cerluin bosses took copies of the petition und industriously circulated thorn urnong the employes of their colliery. A nice place to get the expression of a citizen. It is the same thing as calling.tho miner up bofore his boss and asking him, "Do you likeiyour boss? ' But I am gltd to learn that there is at least one boss who was fearless enough to take a stand against tho whipping in proctss and ono of tho bosses who was circulating a petition was given to understand in unmistakable .eras that he was stepping over the boundary. That he was out of his element and that by virtue of his position, as boss of lhecol liery, ho was securing tho, signatures of men who undoubtedly act otherwise injthu absence ol "his lordship," I am a miner and a c lizon and am ub independent as any one working in this region, but I freely admit that I have at times surrendered my rights of citizenship to save my bread and butter. There have been times when u day's work has almost stood between my family and starvation and it would havo boon folly for me to stand upon a political point at the expense of my work when I knew so many were waiting to drup into my placo. I do not bay tbat all the btsses me their p sitions for political and other influence. There are some I know per sonally who will not do it, and cannot bo induced to, but I hold that there should be none. Hoping you will publi-h this and give tho miners and bosses of the town the benefit of iho sontiments, I remain yours truly. Pick and DniLL. Shenandoah, Jan. 17, 1SU2 Nothing Compares With It. The mania fur realism on the stage ap pears to bo unbounded. Fire ongines, patrol wagons, buzz-saws, stamping mills and saw mills have beon used "to hold thj mirror up to nature," But plays wi h these features are as nothing compared with "The Midnight Alarm," presented at Jacobs' Academy last night.
