We think Archibald Belshazzar
Lamb's boomeraug will prove harm
less. The Hazlcton Sentinel says: "The
sentiment of the people In this section
is turning toward Judge Sadler, of
Carlisle, as the best candidate for Su.
preme Judge. He has the ability
necessary and a good clean record be
side. He would be a worthy addition
to the Supremo Court. His candi
dacy Is gaining ground dally and his
chances for nomination are the
brightest if the wishes of the people
count."
Mr. Lamb has our sympathy. The
indignation of the Republican voters
I of town will cause the Dictator many
sleepless nights.

Tiie petitions circulated yesterday
by the Philadelphia and Beading
Railroad system for the signatures of
citizens resident alorig its line .have
already called forth thousands of
cheerful responses. Tho citizens are a
unit in the belief with the, company
that it is essential for the benefit of all
concerned that Governor Fattison
have the investigation of the recent
"deal" pushed as rapidly as possible.
The Herald feels quite Jubilant
to-day. We trust Mr. Lamb can say
as much.
It Is probable that Oregon and the
Northwest generally will v like, this
parsimonious, cheese-paring, humbug
economy Congress a good deal lees
than they liked tho billion-dollar
Congress, that lias been the subject of
so much Democratic objurgation. By
the way, there would have been no
billion-dollar Congress had It not betn
for the ten-bllllon dollar Deraocrntio
rebellion. The. annual charges on
account of-that rebellion still exceed

If Oliver Wendell Holmes had been

would have said to some :

Tho last leaf upon the tree

Let them smile as I do now

hottest fought in the brrough for many
years and never before did the clouds of
unenrtnintv-eather. so thick about tho o
ganization of Council and thaappomtmont
of supervisor,1 police and oth,er offl cial
It is not surprising that so many people
have, within the patt 'two or three weeks
expressed the opinion that it is time the
borough have some other fdrm of govern
ment by which tho affairs, of the place will
not be brought to. a standstill to give tho
officials time to put up fences and secure
berths for themselves, relative and friends.
The Council room was thronged with
spectators last night so that there was barely
room for tho officials, and It wa only by
strict orders that tho onlookers were ki pi
from crawling over the railing into tho
part of.tho room 'reserved for tho Council-
men and reporters.

Indication that he had made up his mind
to dump the other combine and jump back
to tho first one he was, interested in. If
his change of heart' surprised any of the
Councilmen they did not give any indica
tions of it. There was a smile or two, and
that was all.
The vote taken on the elcc.ions were

WHY THIS CHANGE ?
A Peculiar Feature in Last Night's
Proceedings.
A report of the.-proceedings of Council
la't night would bo incomplete without
reference to the oath taken by tho Council
men who wore sworn in. Tho oath was
this:
"You and each one of you do solemnly and
sincerely swear to support the Constitution of
the United States and of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania and to perform the duties of
your respective olflce as Councilman with
fidelity." . , ,
Tho following is the oath that has always
been taken heretofore by Councilmon ,and
other officials of this borough mark the
lines in italics, as they represent what tho
Councilmen did not swear to this year :
"Schuylkill County, ss: I do swear that I
will support, obey and defend the Constitution
of tho United Stateo, and the Constitution of
this Commonwealth, and that I will discharge
the duties of my office with fidelity; thai I
futve not paid or contributed, or promised to
pay or contribute, either directly r indirectly,
any money or other valuable thing, to procure
my nomination or election, exeptor necessary
and propsr expenses expressly authorized by
law, that I have not knowingly violated any
election law of this Commonwealth, or procured
U to be done by others in my behalf; that I will
not knowingly receive, directly or indirectly,
any money r other valuable thing for the per
formance or non-performance of any qc or
duty pertaining to my office, other than the
compensation allowed by law,"
The omission of that part of the oath in
italics has a remarkable significance In the
minds of some, of our citiaons.
Oolef Burgess Smith was aeked why the
customery oath was not applied. He said
that Borough Solicitor Pomeroy haddisf
covered, in looking over the law, that tho
old-time oath did not apply in tho cae of
swearing In borough officials and that the
oath that was applied was sufficient
"In the tempest of life, when the wave and tho

fall
"If thine eyo should grow dim, and thy caution

SeriouBly Injured.
J jbn Watson suffered more from the ac-
c'dent ho met with In the mines yesterday
than was at first supposed. The particulars
in the Herald yoslerday were meagre on
account of the report baing received just
before the paper went to press. The acci
dent occurred In the Suffolk colliery. Mr.
Watson was knocked down by a pleco of
rock that was barred down. His left ankle
was broken and he was badly lacerated
about the lower part of the abdomen. Ho
will bo laid up for some time.

At the following named collieries ob
inoor, Boston Run, Mahanoy City, Tunnel
Ridge, Packer No, 2, Packer Ho. 5 and
Draper, we have had no fatal accidonts,
which certainly must bo very pleasing to
the mine foremen in cbargo, Bnd we must
admit, while no reports of fatal casualties
have been received from these seven col
llories, the conditions under which they
are placed makes tho mining of coal no
less dangerous as in any of the collierios
which have had four and five fatal acci
dents during tbu year 1891, and when wo
compare, for Instance Kohinoor colliery,
with any of the other collieries where fatal
accidents have occurrod, we can not como
to any othor conclusion than Mr. Thomas
James muit bo very vigilant, to have had
the honor of having a clear record for tho
past 2 years. Mr. James is only a young
mine foreman and he has worked assidu
ously to make a success ol himself. In
talking with him a week ago I remarked
that notwithstanding the gas ho had had
at times lurking over him and tho squeez
ing be had on sevoral occasions ho had
been vory fortunate In not losing any lives.
