ELECTION REFLECTIONS.
The election of Tuesday simply
tended to Increase disgust for the Citi
zens party. That the party is nothing
short of a puppet In the hands of tho
Democrats was clearly demonstrated
by the returns and it la only a ques
tion of a very short time when men
who insist in upholding the party will
be treated as allies of the Democrats.
-True, the Citizens party elected three
Counollmen on Tuesday, but where
do the Republicans gain by it? Stout,
the Councilman from the Second
ward, is more of a Democrat than a
Republican, and was elected by Dem
ocratic votes at the expense of Balrd,
the Republican on the Citizens' ticket
for the School Board. Gable, in the
Fourth, Is a Democrat in state and
national politics and was elected at, tho
expense of Butts, the Republican can
dtdate for School Director on the CHI
zena' ticket. Thus it will be seen that
success may attend the Citizens' ticket
when a Democrat is the nominee, but
no Republican need apply. The
third Councilman elected is a member
of the Republican party, but his elec
tion was not made easy because of that
fact. Lamb was given a walk over
with tho hope that the leniency would
tend to make votes for the opponent of
the Republican candidate for School
Director. It is useless to deny that a
deal was made in this case. I .-The re
turns show that the Repubian can
didates for Judge and Inspector of
Election each received 191 majority,
while Davenport received a majority
of but 10S, a out of 63 votes. Malone's
withdrawal from the Council fight
was a desperate measure and was
adopted as the next best thing to hav
ing a Democrat on the Citizens' ticket,
Surely the election of Stout, Gable
and Lamb cannot whitewash the Citi
zens' party. Even the fiery pens of
correspondents to the Pottsville papers
can hide the rottenness of the party.
Tho Citizens' ticket has cost the Re
publicans tho School Board, None
can deny this.
M But Tuesday's election does, not jus
tify any true Republican In declaring
that he will give his support to the
Democratic local tickets in the future.
It is their duty to see that in the future
candidates are not trotted out before
the pubiio under afse colors. Let
them bend their energies to tearing

away the false Citizens' party mask
and make the issue rest between Re
publicans and Democrats. The Re
publicans are not wholly responsible
for Tuesday's results. They practi
cally had no voice In tho Citizens'
primaries and were unable to put up
candidates of their choice, savo in
cases where the Democrats who ran
the primary thought the nominee
would serve their interests. The
tickets in the field Tuesday were prac
tically the creatures of 'the Democrats,
who packed the primaries and made
their choice. Look to the Democrats
when seeking a door at which to place
the blame for the defeats. They are
mainly responsible, but not wholly so,
The Democrats had able assistants in
the persons of some would-be rulers
and whlppers-ln who disgusted sens!
ble people by their nonsensical boasts
and vindictive acts. In one breath
they declared that Finney and the
"gang" were an insignificant set' and
in the next they urged that their
friends throughout tho borough con
centrate their efforts to down them.
It is strange that suoh a stupendous
united effort should be required to
down an insignificant "gang,
Stranger still is it that every office in
the borough should be staked upon
the defeat of the Insignificant parties,
This is inconsistency of the plainest
character and the parties who make
such statements and resort to such
methods only make bo much laughing
stock of themselves before the eyes of
Intelligent people
What have the efforts to "down the
gang" resulted in? Look over your
ranks, ya "downers," and count your
wounded. Make the count carefully
in the First, the Second, the Third,
the Fourth and the Fifth wards and
then ask yourself the question, "Has
it paid?"
In the mad pace set to "down the
gang" these people left undone those
tthlngs which they should have done.
They left their fences open and the
wlley Democrats took advantage Of
the situation, and walked into thetr
pastures, where they are now grazing
contentedly and are at peace with the
world--untll the time for the organiza
tion of Council and School Board ar
rive?. The "downers" will eventually
lenrn that the proper manner in'
which to grasp a sword is by the
handle, and not by the blade.

PUBLIC SCHOOL
BUILDING VACATED,
MINE WORKINGS MiKE IT UN
FIT FOR OOOUPANOY.
A SERIOUS LOSS TO THE BOARD.
It May bo Necessary to Toar Down
the Largo White Street Build
ingExpert Architects to
bo Summoned.
Thli morning all the cbildrnn In tho
large brick public school building were
transferred to the school rooms of other
buildings and the building is now closed
temporarily, and perhaps will never be
opened again.
This action was taken In accordance with
a decision made by the School Directors at
a special meeting last night. The directors
have decided that the foundation and other
parts of tbe building havo been so badly
damaged by tho mine workings undor
aef.th that it wou'.d be unwise to continue
schools In tho structure
The board also decided to telegraph to
Harritburg and ask for the services ot a
stato intpoctor of buildings. If there Is no
such official the board will securo tho
services of some ezpert architect in Fhlla
delphlaor New York.
The condition of the "White street school
building has been a subject of discussion In
tbe School Board for Sjveral months past,
but In order to avoid creating unnecessary
alarm on the part of parents who had
children attending the schools' In the build
log the matter has been gUardcd with as
much secrecy as possible. About two
Months ag6 it was decided to try and brace
tho foundation walls.
This work was starttd and reported upon
at the last meeting of the board, on the
2nd Inst. The subject was the' cause of
the mUck-talked-of scene between Direc
tors Davenport and O'Hearn. Mr. Daven
port wanted the board to have an ezpert
architect engaged to inspect the structure.
A motion to that effect was made, but de
feated. When Mr. Davenport asked to
have his vote recorded a discussion fol
lowed that led to the scene. Mr. Daven
port feels that he is fully vindicated by the
closing of tho building to-day.
The work of bracing the foundation wall
and other steps to make the building safo
has continued since the last meeting of ttie
board, but yesterday Superintendent Free
man dlscovorod signs that led him to bo.
lieve lhe work was not bearing fruit. A
special meeting was called by personal
notice.
A prominent member of the board says
that he fears the condemned building must
bo razed. However, nothing will be done
until some export architect Inspects tho
structure, and meantime the pupils will at'
lond school in other buildings, so that
there will be no lose of study.

THE NEW BURGESS.
He is Certainly a Man of Ambi
tion.
James Smith, who was elected Chief
Bnrgess of this tdwn on the Democratic
tfeket Tuesday, is not unlike Gor. Hill, of
How lork. He is a man of a'mbitlon and
has beon such all bis life. But few people
of this place are cognizant of just what
-Mr. bmith's past life'has been and a brlei
sketch here may be interesting. Ho has
beon an athlete all' bis Hie and for twelve
years held the title of undisputed cham
pion heel and too walker of the world for
any dUtanco from one to ono hundred
miles:
On July 5,1809, at Trenton, N. J., he
won a gold cup valued at ?G00 and em
blematical ef the championship. Tho cup
was 19 inches high and weighed 62 ounces.
At the Exposition building in Chicago
on November 6, 1878, he defeated Daniel
O'Loary in a 50-mile heel-and-toe race for'
a purso of $500 and a gold cup, O'Leary
had just returned from Eogland, where he
won a six-day race and tbe celebrated
Astley championship belt.
During 187-1-6 Mr. Smith travelod with
P. T. Barnum's circus is tho champ'on
fast walkor of tho world and met allcomers
from the Atlantic to tbe Pacific and from
the Lakes to' the Rio Grande.
About two months after beating O'Leary
at Chicago in 1878 Mr. Smith entered and
won a one-hundred utile tournament in the
same city. In the spring of 1879 Mr.
Smith won two moro walking matches.
The contests were hold in Allegheny Uty,
Pa. One was a distance of 25 miles and
the other 100.
After holding the championship for
twelve years Mr. Smith retired, undefeated
In any match race, in 1881, Ho then
turned bis attention to training athletes,
giving special attention to men for six-day
races. One of tho prominent mon ho
handled was Fitzgerald, who ho trained for
three six-day races. Fitzgerald won two
of thum and was socond to Hazel In the
Ihtrd. It is safo to say that had Mr. Smith
handled the' monoy he won through theso
races in Madison Square Garden, New
York, from 1880 to 1833, as carefully as he
handled tho men under his care bo would
now be a man of considerable wealth.
Mr. Smith's career as an athlete would
fill a large-sized book. From boyhood his
ambition urgod him to a championship of
some kind aad he secured one. He became
a resident ol town In 1883 and since that
time has been turning his ambitibn Into a
political vein. He says he Intends to do
his very best to give the town a good chief
officer. It is his Intention to discharge his
duties faithfully and earn a name for him
self that will not cut off his ambition at
tb Chief Burgesship.

Plans for Lakeside Next Summer.
A Busy Season.
John Neison has been granted a license
for the Lakeeido hotel.
Ice Js now being cut from the lakes at
East Mahanoy Junction, ten inches thick.
The ponds belong to the East Mahanoy
Junction Land Improvement Company, in
which a number of Shenandoah parties are
interested, and is leased to the Knicker
bocker Ice Company, of Philadelphia.
This company has already housed over
8,000 tons this season, and will cut about
4,000 tons more. Tho ice Is cut by means
of an Ice plow that cuts about five inches
through tbe Ice. Cross cuts are then made
which makes tbe cakos uniform to the'elze
of 22 x 28 Inches. The plow which Is
drawn by a horse makes four furrows at a
time.
The new through lino from the ilazleten
region is going to be of vast benefit to
Lakeside. The railroad company has
plans and specifications for a new depot
and other buildings at tho junction to
accommodate tho excursionists.
Good work in advertising Lakeside has
been accomplished since the close of last
season and the place is now well known all
over the region. It is believed the recent
Reading deal will benefit tho place, by
enabling the management to arrango for
low excursion rates from distant points.
B. J. Yost, of town, will soon commence
putting the pavilion restaurant, which he
has leasod, in order for next season.
The "people drawing" attractions at this
popular resort will bo.numerous and of a
varied character during the summer. Tb
trotting course will be a special feature and
purses to tempt tho owners of the best
horses will be offered. The management
is making overtures for the engagemeat of
Buffalo Bill's world-famous "Wild West
show for a brief ssason.
A parly of capitalist who recently
visited Lakosido contemplate locating in
dustries there. They seem to think that
the facilities for water power make the
place very desirable.

The Snow Man.
Thore aro times whon an illustrated
weekly can uso a cartoon most effectively.
That -this is not altogether a feature of a
fUnny paper like Judge Is proved by the
striking take-off on tbe Democratic poli
tical situation. This cartoon in question
shows a large-sized snow figure of David
B. Hill with the Democratic editors of
New York both building it and cutting
into it. With heaps of snow in every
direction and a picture of the hall Where
the convention is to be held in Albany on
Washington's Birthday, and across' tho
street the picture of the auditorium with
June 22d marked on It, ,ono wonders
whether this snow man can stand until that
time. An inUasely interesting picture is
that showing the sports of the Hudson. A
ice yacht going over a mile a micuto is
taken instantaneously by photography. Jim
and Joe Donahue, champion skaters of
tho world, are caught as they stride along
at a terrific pace. Even a bicycle can bo
