We are threatened with meat famine. Afl in otW Irnniun nnavl.. nil lt,i mo usod in thh section is dolivorcd to us by tho groat Chicago meat concern?, through tho locil butchers, and coneeouontlv thn arrival or non-arrival of these companies' relngarator cars has much to do with determining whether wa shall havo moat. At present wo are almost meatless. We should have had a tunnlv ot western primo on Friday last and n.hoth&r on Mon day but the cars are practically in the nanus of the people at tho places affected oy the strike and. hence, wo are almost meat! ot e. Thank goodness, the strike has taken DlaCO in the summnr find nru nnahliwl In supplant the rib roasts with ribs or wntAr- melon and other fruits, and vegetables are on band in abundance. Now would ha in excellent time for the apoftles of vegetar ianism to get in their work and make con verts. But those who cannotibe- converted to this belief'mav console themsnlvr with tho thought that meat die is hoatinir and should bo dispensed with as frequently as ijuhiuio 111 iud euuiuier, rrgm mis point of view tho misfortune attending tho scarcity of meat is really a blessing in disguise. But to deal with the subject more direct ly we find ourselves confronted bv the fact that ere the sun disappears in tho western norlzon many more times we will lin stricken by a meat famine. A Herald reporter called at thn Rtinn- andoah Bof Company's headquarters in town yesterday afternoon. Manager1 M. S. liiggs was seated comfortably in an office chair tilted backwards and smoking a gen ulno Havana. His assistant, "Billy iiowse, was also in toe onice. seated in a tilted chair. His face told tho visitor that the heat was eighty in the shade. - The perspiration streamed frpm his massiyo brow, ovor his rotund chop?, nnd dronuod out of sight under his 171 collar. Business was at a complete standstill. Thero was not a niece of meat in tiahi either in tho shipping department or re frigerator house. Everything was gone and the butchers who stood near nt hnnri. ovidently upon tho verge of desperalion because they could not meet tho demands of their customers, cursed the railroads, the strikors and every one who ventured to suggest patience. "We have been hleh and drv sinco Pri. day," said Mr. RIggs. "and when we will get afloat again I cannot say positively. We Hope to get off the reef on Friday ..but, from tho statements made in to-dnv't papers it appears that there is dansnr nf tne strlko becoming nenoral. In that caao we may be as bad off oniFiiday as we are io-aay." "Our car of beot should havo arrived here Friday nieht. Another should Imvi como on Monday, but both failed to eon nect. I tolegraphod for information and received an answer to the effect that our cars aro in the hands of the strikers At Wavorly, N. Y. no you expect other cars, or aro vou trylqg to get any?"

In answer to a Question. "Is them i meat in town ?" a butcher voluntnnmd iHa information that George Folmer succeeded in getting a car load of live cattle through on Tuesday night and that, with economical management, the people may be able to tldo over the threatened famine until relief comes from other sources. Tho situation gives an effective illustra tion of the terrible condition the country would Do in If all the railroads should 1a stopped for any length of time. QUERIES.

Fine photos, COo. per dozon.at Keagoy'i Special Correspondence to the Herald. . POTTSVILLE, Aug. 18. Twill be well, from now until November, to watch tbo political horizon and to note itt various colorings and changes, For in stance, it is yery evident that woro the election held to-day, or to-morrow, some would be elected on the different county and district tickets who may suffer defeat on the 8th of November. In a long lout- ney such as tho candidates have to undergo there ato many streams to cross and many mountains to climb, and many will be tho mishap therein and thereon. The chancos of some may receive cold water dampen- ings, while others may fall into abysses or gulleys who attempt too much skyward jcurneying in thoir too rapid march toward the pinnacle sought by them as the out growth of their ambitions. So it is, many of us think it is all very well to prognotticate who will be elected next fall. It is always my desire to kick that individual (anywhere, tho region of tho seat of his pants preferred) who con stantly inquires, "Well, who is going to bo elected?' Just liken him unto the jackass who so generously remarks every time he bids you the time of day, "It's terrible hot, isn't it?" a How nobly some of our mutual friends would contribute to purchase straight Jackets for those pests of s6ciety. The one keeps you thinking the fool-killer's occu' pation is not followed up, while the other keeps yuu in a continuous sweat. And yet if, as they say, everybody is put on this earth with some mission, I suppose iheso fools have theirs. Tho first ono men tioned has certainly sot mo to cogitatine and figuring ovor the probable outcome of the county ticket. Let us consider the head of tbo ticket in this letter and that will be sufficient. Speaking of the head of the ticket, the Herald h&s the right order of things when it names the candidate for Judge in tho lead. Headquartor flags, are seldom of much consequence in irivinir proper information, except so far as to do note where tho chairman is not to bo found when wanted, and constnunVW when our friends of the Republican ban nor which is strung across Centre street from Uauso's building to tho Mountain City, and is constantly getting itsolf en tangled in tho net work of wires overhead, mado tho mislafco of having tbo county ticket printed under it with Mr Brumm on top, it matters llttlo. It may be they copied from their friends of tho Americus club who mado the same mistake. No matter, we aro told Mr. Marr is going to swing his flag to the breeze with the tLkot In Its proper order. Ho is hero to-day gotting his house in order. lfiauRics wincii may lib or not, To resumo the thread of our talo. The average vote of this county, based on tho Auditor General and Poor Director votes was 20,588. Tho total vote for President in 1888 was 25,080, vizi Harrison, 12.622 Cleveland, 13,051: Fisk, 211 i Streetor, 193, Tho total vote fbrOongress that same Prea idontial year was 25,980, Mr. Reilly leading Mr. Brumm by CS8. This Is a campaign in a Presidential year with three full-flodired candidates for Judge in the field, two of whom havo been nominated by regular conventions, while the other will run just as well authorized under tho now ballot re form and with his name printed on tho tickets With the others, as an Independent, or third candidate. This latter is the Hon. John W. Ryon. whoso managers claim they already have oyer two thousand voters' .names on the petitions which are required by law to com pletoand legalize his candidaoy, It Is a self-evident proposition that Mr. Ryon's candidaoy will complicate matters, so far as tbo contest over tho Judgeshlpis concerned, while it may, and some balievo certainly wllj, havo a bearing on some of tho other contests, Now it is not likoly that the Ro publican candidalo for Judge will havo two thousand (2 0$0) less Votes than Mr. 'Harrison had in 1888. There is no material disffection whatever ovor Mr. Eoch. But it is very likely that with two Democrats running for the ofllco, ono df whom has boen practicing law at this bar for over thirty years and has malo many friends; and tbo other who has sat on the bench for nearly twonty years and made, undoubted ly, some enemies, also some friends, that thero is somo disaffection on some one Democrat, and It must be over the ono who received the regular nomination, otherwise 2,000 poople would not comq out thus early and openly and endorse him while it is reasonable to suppose that at least 1,000 others will flock to his standard beforo tbo campaign opens in earnost, which will not ba until the last of September. So that, i should Mr. Koch lose only 622 of the yote Mr. Harrison had in 1888, which will give j him him 12,000 vote's, and Mr. Ryon draws t from Judge Pershing 2.0C0 of theothor 13,000 jotes which will be polled, Mr. Koch wiil go n with a plurality of 2.000. f AXOTHBR LOOK AT TUE FIQBRKS. ' , Suppose Mr. Koch should run up well with hislticket, and in his own county, with his growing popularity, ho ought to exceed itand lead Mr. Harrison, he will receive at least 12,500, for Mr. Harrison should receive every Harrison vote of 1888v to wit: 12,522; and supposo Mr. Ryon should receive only 1,000 of tho votes cast for Cleveland in 1888, which was 13.054. it leaves Judge Pershing with 12 054, and still elects Mr. Koch by ovor 400. If Mr, Ryon is worth anything as a candidate ho is worth at least 1,000 votes and ho ought to divide the Democratic vote, with his ability so well known, his unimpeachable character unquestioned and in faco of tho disaflection against tho regular nominee, which must exist unless this county is com posed of more liars than live in the two largest counties in tho state.
