C-21-tf sis EXPLANATION NOT APOLOGY Momcthlnc for tlio llenollt or tho Council men Concerning illlls. About two years ago thore was a weekly paper started here which was known os tho Dispatch, but since then there has been noth ing heard ot it until it turned up again at the last meeting ot the Borough Council, in the shape ot a biU with a Dispatch bill-head, giving John F. Finney as manager. Tho bill called for 872 for publishing tho notices ot special election. This Is tho way these parties tako care ot taxpayers' interests. Tho IIeiiaud'b bill for publishing the samo thing is J508, They might Just os well made it $1,000. Tho bill of the Sunday A'ews for the Bamo service was $31). Tho Schuylkill Haven Call and tho Church Tidings bills have not yet turned up. The S 'A'eif. The above item needs explanation for the benefit of somo peoplo who do not un derstand why tho Herald bill is larger than that of tho News. Before "De Ato" wont into power and formed an illegal compact to do certain things, among them to annihilate the Herald by witholding all patronage from it and, in the languaso of one of its mem bers, deolarod that ' B .yer will get this year" (tho full sentence is too foul for public print) tho rates charged tho bor ough, all corporations and individuals who were not regular advorlisois, or where no special rates wero aRroed upon, wero uni form with all papers of tho borough as tho bills he-etoforo paid by Council will show. "When the illegal combine went intp power tho IIkkai.d saw no reason for diverting from the regular rates. The M.w3did. The reason is known only to tho publishers of the latter papor and the illegal combine. The advertising for which tho Herald asks pay was ordertd by Borough Solicitor Pomoroy and A. B. Lamb. Tho Herald has' witnosses to provo Mr. Pomeroy's order, but their statements mo not required at this time, as Mr. Pomercy does not deny having given it. As to Lamb, hn daro not attempt to deny the Herald'h au thority for making the publications, lor wo still have his written order in our possession, and tho following is a copy of it : "Shenandoah, Pa June 1st, 1892 "Editor Shenandoah Herald : "Dear But : Please insert In every paper you issue, from now until tho 11th of this month, a copy ot the ordinance passed on the 5th day of May. 1893, pertaining to special election held on that date. Make it seperate from that now published In notice of election. "Yours &c, "A. D. Lamh." Undor the authority as above stated, tho Herald proceeded to insert tho advertise ments and charged for them tho regular advertiilng rates, theie having been no Hgreement for special rates. Now the Herald demands payment of its bills and objects to tho Sews being taken as a standard for their correctness. The Newa has been well taken earn ol by tho illegal combine and joint committee and what it sacrifices to create prejudice against the Herald it more than makes up from other official sources. Tho public must bear in mind that tho News, in addi tion to its advertising bill, received 01 for printing the special election tickets, and these bills were paid without murmur of obiection. Tho Herald will not tolerato any "rob bing Peter to pay Paul" business and will insist upon the payment of its legal claims The Schuylkill Press Association will bear the Herald out in the matter. At the meeting of that association last weok it agreed upon a much higher rate than tho Herald has charged Council, so, if expert testimony Is requirod we will have no difficulty in showing that our rates are not exorbitant. But wo wero forgotting that wo cheated ourselves. In making out the bills our bookkeeper over-looked an insertion of one of the advertisements.1 "Ve will ask tho investigating oommittee to add the amount to that already claimed. As to tho Dhpatch we have only this to say: Tho paper is issued at the Herald office, and the advertisements wera put in the paper under the written instructions of Mr. Lamb, namely "pleaso insert in ovory paper you issue" &c, and the specific verbal Instructions of Borough Solicitor Pomeroy. But, whilo tho Dispatch is issuod at tho Herald office, it is not owned by the proprietor of tho lattor paper. It Is issued for Mr. John P. Finney in consider ation of a stated sum weekly, on tho same plan as tho Frackyillo Hem was onco issuod from the office and tho Schuylkill Haven Call is now issuod. The advertise ments wero not put in tho Call becauso the papor is not.as the Dispatch a Shenandoah publication. Wo hopo tha Illegal combine will realize that by climbing down from tho trea and paying our bill at an early data thoy will promoto an oconomlcal policy.

POWIOK'S SERMON Sunday Morning on tho Savior's Con ception of Life, Tho sermon in the Methodist Episcopal church jn Sunday morning waB on Tho Saviour's Conception of Life. "My Father workoth hitherto and I work," John V-17. The text shows that in tho Saviour's thought lilo was a very solemn thing. Tha koy- noto of his ministry was "I must work tho works of Him that sent me." The servant is not abovo his Lord. "Wo may talk about death being a very solemn thing but it is not half so solemn as life. It is tho pre ceding life that giveB significance to death and fixes its after rosultB. "What unworthy views of life are hold by many. Thoy seem to think that time is given either to bo killod in the most pleasurable manner or to be used for ono's own aggrandize ment. Tho value of life is often measured by what ono can get out of it of pleasure or ot treasure, whoreas its truo value cor sists of what ono can give acd do. Loving servlco is a belter iest of loyalty to God than great gifts. Ha who gives gold give what is not his own but God's. But he who givos service givos of himself. Many find it no sacrinVo to contribute money for tho relief oi tho needy and for the extension of the kingdom of God who render no ser vhe for their own. An instanco was related of a Missionary of London who found a sick woman in a garret. Upon being questioned as to tho visitors she had received she spoke of a kindly old gentleman who had visited hpr and read tho Word ot God to her ai d pn yed with her. Upon being pressed for a Description of the man it was found that he was that "Grand old man," tho great Gladstone Prime Minisior, at that time, of England. "What the world needs more than men of wealth to pour out their wealth for tho founding of churches or colleges or public libraries and such institutions is for such men for all man to imitato such examples. Tho Saviour seeks "not yours but you." Cyrus, tho heathen prince, had a lofty conception of tha obliga'ions of life when ho said to Oreo-us "For a princo to be moro generous in giving whan he is infinitely more rich Is not so surprising nor extraordinary as when he descenJs, in a manner, from the throne and puts himself on a level with bis subjects." This is what Jesus did whon he "emptied himself" and came down from heaven not to do bis own will but the will of Him that sent him. His ceaseless activity and constant fidelity wera a con stant exemplification of the text "I Work." His waysido works -were a marvel. As ho passed through n murderous crowd ready to stone him to death ho saw a man "blind from his birth"-ho stoppoato restore him and so wo hayo the wondviul ninth of John, In passing through Samaria ho rested on Jacob's well. An adulterous woman camo to draw water so ho turned tho well into a pulpit and tho woman into a congregation and so wo havo the fourth of John. Ho enters Jericho and lights upon blind Bartirnous he passes through. Jericho and finds Zaccheus he departs Irom Jericho and finds two more pleading blind men whom he slops to heal bo socks solitude in tho coasts of Tyro and Sidon but ho could not be hid the Syro-Phceni-cian woman found him nnd obtained tho desiro of her heart. Tho thought is often suggested that Christ is no example for us because He was divino and wo wore only human. Such a thought would vanish if wo could fathom tho humiliation Involved in "making Himself of no reputation." Life was a oonstant sacrifice to Him as it is to us. He mingled with tho sinful and the outcast not because ho preferred their society, ho had not whore to lay his head not because ho pre ferred poverty to wealth, but because ha camo not to do His own will but His Father's. And in the final agony Ho cried "Not My will" My will is to havo thia cup pass from me but 'Not my will but Thine be done." Let u, His followers, imitate His example, and work for the bet terment of humanity though it may in volve the cruoiflxion of our own will. "My Fathor woikath hitherto, and I work." POLITICAL POINTS.
