THE JUDGESHIP.
" District Attorney E. H. Koch has
Buccuinbed to the heavy pressure
brought to bear on him by his numer-

Mr. Koch is a brilliant young man of
high legal attainments, as his present
administration prove3, and if thq
Republicans nominate him we believe1
ho will bo triumphantly elected. 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.

Realistic and Thrilling.

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.

Posses in Politics.
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

benefit of iho sontiments, I remain yours
