TI WATER REPORTS.
SHORT SUPPLIES ALL OVER.
THE COUNTY.
ASHLAND'S CRITICAL CONDITION
Sho Joins Mahanoy City on tho
Two Hour Daily Supply Shen
andoah la all Right up
to Date.
jmj HE scarcity of water Is
beginning to oreate
nervousness in all parts
of the county. Ash
land and Mahanoy City
are special sufforeraand
in both places the peo
ple have been put upon an allowance of two
hours per day and even -that restriction has
ooupled with It the condition that the con
sumers shall only uso what is absolutely
Ineccssary. Tho Ashland water works are
owned by tho borough and tho ordors regard
ing tho supply aro issued by the chairman of
the Borough Council, Under such orders tho
supply was cut off from last Saturday night
until Monday morning. A correspondent to
one of the city papers got the towns and
orders mixed and sent word to tho Philadel
phia Itdgtr that Shenandoah had been with
out water since Thursday last. Of course all
peoplo in ami about Shenandoah know that
this report is absolutely false, but for the
benefit of outsiders who aro subscribers to
tho Herald it has been deemed wise to
make a contradiction of the report and sot
tho fears of distant friends at rest. Shenan
doah has water works in which the people
should take pride. Notwithstanding tho
prolonged drought the company kept up tho
regular supply until about ten days, when
it was considered advisable to curtail until a
good rain tfall would como to replenish tlo
dams. It was not a matter of necessity, but
one of precaution and tho town is receiving a
supply of twelve hours daily and, from
present indications, this supply will continue
until the fall of rain desired is at hand. So
that Shenandoah is in no immcdiato danger
of a water famino,liko her sister boroughs,
Some peoplo have complained of tho muddy
appearanco of the water in sorao places in
tho mornings and undertake to condemn the
quality of tho water, but they fail to consider
that when water remains in the pipes for a
stretch of twelve hours it cannot bo expected
toflow as clear and crystal-like as water that
is constauUy flowing.
Of all tho towns in tho county Ashland
seems to bo suffering the most from the
drought and Mahauoy City next. Shen
andoah is moro than holding her own
proportiouatelyr
In conversation with a Herald reporter
last night Mr. S. D. IIcss, superintendent of
the water company, stated that since Ihe
supply has .been curtailed the company's
dams havo gained, hence the town's chances
to withstand a long siege havebeen improved.
But the superintendent urges that tho people
continue the economical plan of use so that
at no time will it be necessary to resort to
extreme measures.
The Morll lSngagemont.
Thoro will be no advance in prices for the
Merli engagement so a full houso is assured.
In fact, It is a very expensive company, and
should be patronized. The play I3 conceded
to bo the greatest comedy drama ever writ
ten. Mmo. Bernhardt considers "Frou Frou"
tho most difficult role she lias ever assumed,
the third act, especially, calling for groat
acting. Madeline Merli certainly posesie3
tho divine spark, which is fanned to a per
fect flame in tho quarrel scene. Rage, hate,
emotion, pride, keen sarcasm, jealousy and
love she portrays in less than seven minutes.
Bat, like many Italians, she poscsses a won
derful amount of feeling and power, and is
equal to tho task, while her support is of the
highest standard of oxccllcnco.
Hoot ou the Other Foot.
When Brumm was in Congress he was kept
so busy writing speeches for tho Herald to
print and dlstrlbuto among his constituents,
that he forgot why the worlclngmen electid

but as a worklngman's friend well, what has
he done f Chronicle.
To cnumerato all that Mr, Brumm has
done would tako considerable time and spaco.
The shortest routo to a solution is for tho
Chronicle to enumerate what Mr. Brumm
has not done. If the papor makes any mis
takes it will be called down.

National Chairman Carter Strikes the
Keynote.
New York, Oct. 10. The kcynoto of tho
national campaign was sounded last night by
Chairman Carter of the Republican National
Committee.
It was.late in tho evening when Chairman
Carter reached tho decision to bring before
tho Republicans of tho nation the fact that
Uiey will bo callod upon in November to
save, not only tho executive, but also the
Legislative branch of the national govern
ment. 1 "Both branches of Congress would neces
sarily be Democratic in tho event of Presi
dent Harrison's defeat. We cannot lose tho
Presidency and save cither the Senate or the
House." Thus is sounded a clarion note of
warning to any Republicans who may be hi'
toxicated with tho delusion that the lcglsla
tive branch of tho government as well as the
executive is not at stake in this campaign.
They aro called upon to decide, as Mr. Car
ter points out, not only which party shall
rulo the White House, but which party and
which policy shall control the Senate cham
ber and the hall of the House of Representa
tives in the Capitol.
nero is Chairman Carter's own Iaugungo
as uttered last night;
"Tho people of this country aro called
upon to say whether they desire to substi
tute tho policy of free trade for thopolicy of
protection; to substitute the wildcat state
banking system for the present reliable
currency j to abandon the shipping policy
and tho trado treaties known as reciprocity.
There should bo no doubt about tho result.
This is not a free trado country. Tho people
do not favor wildcat curroncy.
"They are in favor of reciprocity. They
desire the merchant marine of the United
States re-established, and aro opposed to free
trade and bad money and tho reactionary
policy of tho Democratic party.
"The common senso of tho people stands
as a bulwark opposed to any policy which by
any possibility may result in hurling tho
nation down from its present prosperous con.
dltion into commercial chaos, industrial dis
tress and financial ruin.
"I think the people understand that both
branches of Congress would nccescarily bo
Democratic in the event of President narrl
son's deleat: Wo cannot losotlio Presidency
and save either tho Senate or tho House.
"We are therefore confronted with what
must seem to tho ordinary citizen aa an ap'
palling proposition to promptly and ab
solutely revise tho politics under which our
present prosperous condition has been
brought into existonce."
SCHrjME EXIWED.
Tho papers yesterday presented another
chapter of revelation concerning the frauds
on the ballot which tho Democratic campaign
managers proposo to perpetrato in this city.
Wo aro satisfied from our own investigations
of tho reports that havo been reooivod by the
Republican National Committee from tho de-
toctlvcs in its servioe that this account of
criminal opcratious is really a fraction of the
truth. Committeeman Martin, under whom
tho work of tracing Democratic preparations
for fraud has gone forward, has performed an
inestimable service to the Republican party.
His work has been dono with remarkablo
thoroughness, and Chairman Carter is in a
position now to bo suro either that wo shall
havo substantially a fair vote in Now York
or that those who attempt to corrupt tho bal
lot will go to prison. There is little room to
doubt that these Democratic conspiracies to
elect Cleveland and Stevenson by outrageous
electoral frauds are not merely understood
by tho Democratic National Committee, but
aro being conducted under its supervision
and by its direction.
Tho Democratic party has already stolon
one election in this country this year by
methods Incomparably mean and infamous.
The proceedings of tho Democratic party in
Alabama, by which votes cast for Captain
Kolb were counted for his Democratio rival,
by which ballot boxes wero stolen, polling
lists falsified and a majority of ono man of
at least 40,000 turned Into a majority for an
other man of 20,000, aro not to be under
taken in the state of New York. Tho great
apostlo of political morality and general re
form has to bo elected by some other means
than tho corruption of tho ballot box or he
will nurse his ambitious far a later occasion.
The Republican party is in a position this
year to assuro the poople of New York with
a reasonable degree of certainty against
Democratio frauds, as well on election day as
after election day. And the wisest and
safest thing for Chairman Harrity to do is to
iune directions to his subordinates that they
niuei be honest nud to convince them that he
means what ho says.

THE WATBR QUESTION.
A Quaint Correspondence on the All-Important
Question.
Editor Herald : In Wednesday's paper
I could see our Counellmen and Jlmm
Frauey met in hopes to push this new water
works ahead. Jimmy is taking the whole
business on his own shoulders. He wants to
let us see that ho is the leading man in this
town. He wants to deprive poor honest
citizens of their property what thoy earned
by hard work. His friend the tax collector
could tell him thoro is plenty property
holders who did not pay last year's tax. I
cannot tell how they will pay tho present
tax ; which is a larger one. Council, let yo
abolish all this trouble. See to make ar
rangements with the old water company.
By doing so yo will leave many a poor man
his house. If yo go ahead there is plenty
citizens who will lose a fall or meet ye first
of all, We will not pay a dollar until Potts
vlllo court compels us to do so. If our judges
compols us to pay this amount we will not
forget thoir goodness. Jimmy does not rest
easy but thinking over this. It is time for
him to understand that he had a poor look iu
what he took in hand. Once ho was boss of
a paper that was a failure. He then started
a cracker factory. That was worse than the
papor. Liko the snail, he wants to make the
third attempt and start a brewery. Tho
Dutch, Welsh and English thinks his address
all right. The Irish aint so block-headed
Drop your drollery and yo members that
wants to havo a hand In work quit it also.
Do not create enemies. Some of yo may
think the old company has a hand in this.
If so, have it in tho Herald aud ye will
find out. No, we have moro intorost iu this
affair than ye are aware. Ye can all read
this beforo noxt Tuesday's meeting. Let no
contractor havo anything to do with this
work unless he gets money before he starts.
Wo will let Jimmy know whether he or u
will be the boss. Citizens.
