Building in tho Fourth
"Ward.
T was quite evident as
the School Directors
gathered for t h o 1 r
J meeting last night that
thoro was some thing
In the wind. All the
membors were presont.
Thov wrn M
Oonry, Davenport, Lynch, Hanna, Bron
nan, Trezieo, Boddall, Ogdon, Muldoon,
Gable, Bachman, O'lioarn, "Williams,
Burke and Gallagher.
Groups of three and four were formed
about tho entrance to the High School
building and whispered discu-eions were
kept up until President Oonry called the
meeting to order. Then, an ominous
silence set in.
Mr. Gable said the management of tho
Columbian public scnool exhibition had
written for photographs of all the public
schools in tho town for exhibition at thn
"World's fair. No action was taken.
The committee on teachers and salaries
mado a report in which it stated that it will
be necessary for the board
additional school rooms until the proposed
new scnool Duiiding in the Third, or
Fourth ward, can bo erected. In maklnc
Unreport Mr. Gallagher said that the en
rolment of pupils for last jear was 2,767
for 44 rooms, Pottsvillo had an nnrnlmnm
of nearly 800 less tor 62 rooms.
Mr, Muldoon, for the building and re"
pairs committee, reported that the VRPnnt
lot on "West Oak street, owned by Mrs.
vainer, could be purchased for 13,600. It
is 100x46 foet In size. After some discus
sion about the location and price, the board
decided that the committee, in conjunction
with the solicitor, proceed to take possession
of the property and in caso a reasonable
price cannot be agrood upon proceedings
bo taken according to law to fix a price.
Mr, Muldoon also recommended that the
P. M, church basement bo re-encased for
school purposes and that a partition be put
in it to maKe two school rooms. Also, that
the stone wall between the Lloyd street
building and tho Cardin property be torn
down and rebuilt, as it is in bad condition.
Tho commitlao on building and repairs
was instructed to advertise for bids for
tearing dovjn and rebuilding the condemn
ed wall and also ascertain what price Mr.
Cardin asks for his property next to the
Lloyd street school building.
The election of teachers to fill vacancies
and on account of the large classes in the
first grade primary department it was de
dided to olect five of the applicants, in
stoad of three. Thoro were fifteen appli
cants, but three received no votes, they
were Misses Lizzie O. Noary, town, Miss
A. II. Fisher, Calawissa, and James M.

li Richard A. MoHale, 1. The first five
named were declared elected,
"When election ot Janitors was called for
the board decided that all the old janitors
applying be re-elected and this was done.
As Mr. Dayls, who was Janitor of tho
school In tho German Lutheran church.
had no written application on file, Mrs.
Stanton was elected - in his place. Mr.
Davenport said be knew Mr, Davis was an
applicant, but,. through some mistake, had
no writton application on file. Mrs. Stan
ton was elected by a vote of 8 to 7.
The election of a solicitor at a salary oi
?50 per year resulted in favor of John R.
Ooyle, Esq., overT. R. Beddall, Eiq., by a
vote of 8 to 7-
The finance committee was instructed to
make a domand upon the County Com
missioners for the duplicate. This action
was taken to place tho board on record as
trying to live up to all the requirements of
tho school law.

UP
RAILWAY WARS.
A Suggestion by the 'ew York "World
That Will Not Work.
Tho New York World has an article on
its editorial page under the suggestive
title "Conquer Reading by Exhausting It."
"By pushing the presont suits against the
Reading system," says tho writer, "and
beginning and pushing as many moro as
possible, that systom v. ill be eaten up by its
own lawyers." By "insisting on IhU
courso" and "constantly urging it," the
readers of the World are assured that it
"will incalculably serve tho interests of
the people."
Thero have been various plans suggested
for tho overthrow of the Roading, but this
of "conquest by exhaustion" is tho sim
plest. Mr. Caseatt, who be torror of railway
combinations thrilled tho newspapers in
February and March, insisted that tho
Government should interfere. Mr. Cassatt's
sudden horror of monopoly did not go so
fir as to propose a dissolution of tho
alliances under which tho Pennsylvania
system had been made a powerful monop
oly. Nor did he propose a return to the
dear old Camden and Amboy days, nor a
revival of tho blessed tonnage tax, nor a
restoration to the Northern Central, the
Philadelphia and Erie, tho Philadelphia,
"Wilmington and Baltimore and other
ravished corporations of their beroft honor
and dignities. His game was the Reading,
and his associate "against monopoly" was
Mr. Terence V. Powderly. Several New
York newspapers with unconscious humor
were pathetic over the Governor's "refusal
to act," when implored by such eminent
labor movement as Mr. Powderly and Mr.
Cassatt.
Another cogent member of this anti
Reading alliance is Mr. Henry Clews, a
Wall street magnate, whoso financial posi
tion is like that of those onterprising gen
tlemen on the Jersey coast, to whom every
storm is a harvest when it gives them the
bloising of a wreck. Mr. Clows advised
the state of Pennsylvania to take possession
of tbo anthracite lands, and ignoring the
millions that had been paid for ownership
by thousands of invostors, treat coal as an
Inherent natural right, as air, water and
sun. Of course, tho principle involved was
confiscation. Money invested in the trans
portation of wheat, the regulation of water
supply and the manufacture of light was
on this principle as amenable to confisca
tion as that invested in coal. Mr. Clews
would, however, confiscate coal as a war
upon tho Reading, and in tho interest of
"Wall street adventurers who had not given
a dollar for coal development.
Of those various warlike processes, the
Cassatt-Powderly plan of having the
Governor "interfere against monopoly,"
tho Clews plan of confiscation, and the
World plan to "conquer Reading by ex
hausting it," harrying the Reading by
law suits, until, like that forlorn, vermin
devoured bishop on thu Rhine in tho
German fable, it was "eaten up by its own
lawyers," the latter seems to have been
adopted. Thero are, we believe, a half-
dozen suits brought, as the World advisos
in its "Conquest by Exhaustion." The
World, as our readers note, commends
those suits, no) for their merits, but as a
part of "the conquest" of tho Reading.
One of them was dismissed out of court
the other day in Easton. That makes no
difference. The suit cost money. There is
no reason why there should not bo a dozen
more. If Reading "is to be oaten up by
its own lawyers," the qucstbn is not what
the courts may decide but keep tho courts
busy over "decisions."
Yet this question seriously considered is
of the gravest nature If the money to
defend these suits is to be taken from
Reading investors, and if by forms of legal
machinery it is to be taken to such an ex
tent as to "conquer Reading by exhausting
it," where are the supplies found for their
prosecution? Lawyers are paid on both
sides of a causo, If the defendant is to be
exhausted, who nourishes and rocuperates
the plalntifl? Only the editor of the
World supposos that Plaintiff Gummere in
the Easton case paid a penny of the cost.
Tho Now York Evening Post distinctly
rofors to it as "one of the Pennsylvania
suits against the Reading." If the Evening
Post were not a careful paper wo might
overlook this statement. Yet when a
leading and conservative newspaper sums
up this "conquest by exhaustion" campaign
as in reality a series of Pennsylvania suits
against the Reading It opens an important
field of inquiry.
No corporation within her jurisdiction
has bad the royal endowments of tho Penn
sylvania. "We revive nono of the criticisms
so many of those endowments invoked
from the repeal of the Tonnage tax inder
Govornor Ourtin, to the presont day, Wo
have no sympathy with them. The Penn
sylvania is one of the forces of the nation,
an institution of which tho Commonwealth
may bo proud the work of a dynasty of
gifted and Intrepid men, and from that
work wo would not take a stone. Nor do
wo grudge the Pennsylvania Railroad
whatever it has asked, nor whatever it may
ask in reason, "While tho Pennsylvania
has taken with the opon hand whatevor the
people have given, she has rosistod with
olonohed hand whatover has been given to
any ouo else, no matter bow just and
equitable tho claim. Take the entrance of
tbo Baltlmoro and Ohio into Philadelphia.

OUR POTTSVILLE
POLITICAL LETTER
SILLY THEORIES ON THE
JUDGESHIP REFUTED.
THE AGE QUESTION DISCUSSED
An Experienced Writer Refers to
Ablo Jurists Who Ascended
tho Bench When Much
Younger Than Koch.
Special Correspondence to the Herald.
POTTSVILLK, Aug. 4.
vyJj p vjj, HERE are two things
settled now as later in
the campaign and
your scribo proposos
to bo tho arbiter in tho
case and render the
decision, which must
be final. If these matters could be success
fully contradicted I might not be so brash
as to arrogate to myself the ability and
omniscience of tho ono who posessos the
deciding power, but they are so utterly
silly in their nature that any ono who
claims ordinary knowledgo in tho premises
could do just as I propose to do now, and
that is forever put at rest tho stories and
arguments that weak-minded opponents of
our candidates for Judge have set afloat.
Not that any assertion that is herein made
can stop the mouths of certain wiso asses
who know it all, because everybody knows
thero lives in every community a 6ot of
fellows who, notwithstanding all proof to
tho contrary, will still harp on the opinions
they have formed, but wo give what we
know to thoso of sense and fairness and
leave tho others to the' fate in store for them
wben the fool killer comes around,
BEUOLD OUB NEXT JUDQK 1
My first proposition is that R. H. Eoch,
Esq., present District Attorney, and, by
tho grace and good sense of a majority of
the voters of the 21st judicial district, tho
successful candidate for Judgo this year,
has not now, nor never had, the slightest
idoa of withdrawing from tho contest. He
has never entertained the thought for a
moment. He received the nomination by
a vory flattering vote, and he haB come to
stay, "When next you visit the court
house just cast your eagle eye on the chair
in which Judge Bcchtel sits when the
three judges are on the bench and you will
thus be introduced to tho soat that will bo
warmed by Mr. Koch on and after January
2, 1893. This is no idle talk, but it is
prophecy based on a knowledgo of the sit
uation gained by a careful roviow of tho
field from every point of vantage ground;
and let me say further in thus introducing
the reader to Judgo Koch, I am proud to
have it known that in him tho county will
have an official at once fearloss, honest,
fair and industrious.
By way of parenthesis, let me say, there
are two lawyers at the bar to-day who are
noted for their industry and untiring atten
tion to their business. Ono is A. W.
Schalck, E-q., and the other is tho subject
of this letter, Mr. Koch. When not
actually engaged in the trial of cases you
find those men, day and night, at work in
their offices which have long ago boen
transformed into voritable treadmills.
And now for the second lesson. Certain
persons, with moro timo on their hands
than brains in their cranlums, aro galivant
ing around this town and other soctions of
the district singing the now thread baro
song which could bo properly entitled,
"Oh, He's O'er Young to bo Judgo Yot." I
would liko to call these peripathetic creatures
by name so that they could be held up to
tho ridicule they deserve, but that is not
permissible and I am too charitable to do
It. Preferring to cover thorn with tho
mantel of charity, I will bo content in
giving thorn a bit of history for their
digestion. .
YOUNCI MEN ON TUB BENCH,
Judge John Dean, who was so unani
mously placed in nomination atHarrisburg
recently and whoso namo graces the Repub
lican ticket as our candidate for Supreme
Judgo, was only twenty-fivo years of age
whon. he was elevated to tho judicial dig'
nlty he hss so woll graced and honored
He was admitted whon he was twouty-ono
and consequently had practiced law but
four years.
Judgo James Ryon had practicod law in
Tamsqua, this county, but for tho short
period of six years when, in 1802, at the.ago
of 20, ho was olectod President Judge of
our county courts, and an excellent Judge
he mado.
Judgo D. B. Greon was admitted to tho
bar January 23, 1855, and practiced for 12
years when in 1807 the Criminal Court was
establishtd and he was placed on tho
bench, when only 30 years of age, by
appointment by Governor Geary, in tho
pring of that year and afterwards elected
for ten years. And I say it without dis
paragement to his Honor, his pratice was
that of an office practitioner and tho activo
court work, especially the criminal cases,
were tried by his partner, tho lato much
respocted and ever-to-bo honorod Lin
Bartholomew. And we nil know what an
excellent judge we have had in Judgo
Gieen,
Judge Oliver P. Bechtol wont on the
bench in January, 1878, aged 35 years.
He was admitted May 10, 18CG, and had,
therefore, beon at tho bar a trifle over
eleven years. "Who will gainsay it wben
we utter tho fact that Judgo Bechtel is one
of the ablest jurisU in Pennsylvania.
And now for tho closing chapter. Mr;
Koch is now ripe, vigorous, clear-headed
and alort at tho ago of 40 years. He, too,
has practiced law for over eleven years.
Ho camo to this bar May 3, 1881, and has
been one of our most successful lawyors.
For the past six years be has boen the most
active man connected with the Criminal
Courts, first as deputy under District Attorn
ey Whitehouso and latterly as District
Attorney. . How well it is known what a
busy professional lifo Mr. Koch hss led
during the last eleven years and a half.
His success has been marvelous and his
varied experienco has boen such as to
eminently fit him for a judicial position.
And yet wo read in some ephemeral
public prints and hear it mouthed by fools
on the streot that "Mr. Koch, the Republi
can nominee, is a young man of limited ex
perience, and it is admitted that thousands
of Republicans who regard ago and experi
enco as indispensable qualifications for tho
Judgeship will vote for" some one else.
"We are not a fighter nor the son of a
fighter, but we havo placed the chip on our
shoulder and we will bo pleased to meet tho
goose who invented the lie we have just
quoted in tho court house grounds with
seven pound glovrs and according to
Marquis of Queensbury rules, where he
can knock the chip off if ho dares. N.
