The thanks of the public nro duo to tho
Mine Inspector for tho promptness and com
pleteness with which he gho-j tho details of
this branch of his business.
In concluding his report tho Inspector
says: "Mr. Thomas James, iuBido foreman
ot Kohinoor colliery, has a clear record for
1892, It was remarked iu 161)1, in connec
tion with tho Mino Inspector's reports, that
Mr. James deserved great credit in not hav
ing a fatal accident iu his colliery. Not
withstanding that the mining of coal was
attended with more danger, especially in tho
seven-foot vein (and robbing tho Mammoth)
than in a majority of tho collieries in tho
sixth district, wo trust that Mr. James will
continue his vigilance with a view to prevent
accidents,"

Tho secontl week of tho Herald's public
sohoul teachers' contest closed al A p. m. on
Saturday and tho official count taade after
that hour showed tho number of volts polled
for tho day was 1,40! and tho aggregate
number of votes for all days 8,!IC3.
Two of the contestants arc now above tho
1,000 mark and close together. Less than
ono hundred otos will ehango the leader
ship. Miss Burns has eventually been forced into
third place and has four contestant close
behind her. The friends of tho young lady
say that she will not remain third long.
They kuow that desperate efforts have been
mado to displace her, but within tho next ten
day they expect to poll a vole that will be
oxcuedingly interesting.
Miss Stein, who has bceome contestant
number two, has certainly made a remark
able record within the past few day. In the
lust two days of the second week tho young
lady polled over fiOO votes!
Misses Faiiehild and Wasley are also doing
great work and Miss 1'atist and Mr. Williams
ao by no means slow.
From tho rumors that are alleal thero is
reason to believe that at tlio close of tho
third week will find at least one contestant
with a poll of over 2,000. Which contestant
will have that god ftrtuu It is impossible to
say.
Among oilier important changes iu the con
test aro the advancements of Mifscs Latterly
and Stack. Both ladies passed Miss Ucssou
Saturday.
It will bo observed that to-dav's table of
rccoids only includes tho names of the
teachers who havo pulled 100 or more votes.
Twenty teachers come within the rule. The
records of the others are in the official record
book and tho names will bo plaeed in tho
tablo as soon as 100 votes aro polled.
The highest records for Saturday were:
Miss Stein, 221; Miss Wasley, 178; Mr.
Williams, 103; Miss Fairchild, 112; Miss
Faust, 110.
It was stated on Saturday that before Un
close of tho first month tho people will find
some of tho contestants who now run slow
pretty well up to tho front rank.
All votes must bo iu by 4 p m. Those
received after that hour will not appear in
the table published tho next day.

REV. O'BOYLE'S INTERESTING
DISCOURSE SUNDAY.
HINTS FOR PURIFYING POLITICS
Tho Lawa of tho Land Aro All
Right Wo Neod Mon of Iu
tedllsrenco and Integrity to
Carry Them Out.
3V. liOIlT. O'BOYLF.
preached tho second of
his scries of special
sermons in tho Trinity
Reformed church last
VB'iWAl'Si "n,,ipin,i nr.
and the text was taken
from Ecclesliutes XII;
13 ; "Fear God, and
keep His command
ments; for this is tho whole duty of man."
Tho pretty little chuich was filled with
people who listened to tho discourso with
much attention and apparent interest.
Rev. O'Boyl spoko clearly and forcibly
and at times made many strong points. The
arguments were broad in their stops and
referred to national, state and local political
elfects. During tho sortwon Rov. O'Boylc
said an honest man fears God. The duty of
man is to fear and lovo flod ns tho creator of
tlio universe and to look upon man us the
head of that creation. Reform is the watch
word of tho hour and it has gi 1, ulsug the
wliolo political line of tho country. Shen
andoah is in need of muuiciial reform and
thisstatoof attains had been brought about
by the indifference of people in the exorcist
of ono of tho greatest blessings given to man,
the exerciso of a free ballot. The honest
people arc indifferent, not only in local
affairs, but in state and national nll'.iirs :if
well. If tho houist man does not take an
interest iu tlie political affaiis in his town,
state and country he is no better than the
corruptionist, because, by his silence, hi
condones their acts, in active interest by
honest men is required, but active interest
does net mean the offering of 50 cents or a
dollar for a vote; that is corruption. Thr
business man is needed iu politics
Wo have men iu politics who cannot
run their own business, and yet by
our silence we allow them to he elected and
have power. The men we need in politics
aro men of sound business principles, men ol
business integrity and capacity; men who
will look after th affairs of the towu us they
would their own. Wa elect men to look after
our streets and they know nothing about
them. Wo elect men to look after our prop
erty, but how much of it is protected? As
far as that is concerned we might as well not
havo any protection. Our lives and properly
aro in almost as much danger as they would
he if we had no protection at all. Should the
State Board of Health visit this towu and go
through tho streets, alleys and slums, and see
the germs of disease the town would be con
demned as a disease breeding hole. Thi
condition of affairs docs not exist j,iy iu the
outskirts, but the very centre of the town,
and yet we elect men to fight that very thing
We elect men to protect our sous and daugh
ters, to knop them iu tho right path, yet we
read iu our daily papers a warning tlr.it there
h in existence in our midst, and on our Main
street, places that aro luring our young men
and instead of making thorn good citizens an
lltting them for heil. Is it not necessury for
us, as christian citizens, to cerue to the res
cue? It is our boundeu patriotic duty to
tako an active interest in political affairs.
Thero is a law against gambling. The
statutes of the Commonwealth of Pennsyl
vania prohibits it and the Borough Council
need not pass resolutions to instruct
the chief officer to closo tho gambling
houses. The laws are all right, but
we fail to elect men to curry tliem out. flood
laws and bad men aro like oil and water
they don't mix. Wo need, also, intelligent
men who can intelligently look after the in
terests of tho people. All the people of the
towu are not bad, yet some acts of their
officers represent them as such. Wo need
men of reason. Men who have minds of
their own and who can rely upon their
minds, and not blindly follow sonic ward
boss. Rev. O'Boylo approached the con
clusion of his sermon by stating that he
feared that tho groat institutions upon which
the American looks with so much pride
tho public schoolsare too frequently en
dangered. It Is a pretty bad state of affairs
when those noble institutions are traded off
for the lowest position tho people can give.
If we as citizens do not cry out the chinch
niiut. Educate the children to consider the
community above party and the nation above
partisanship, Let every honest man go to
tho polls and vote iu accordance with the
dictates of his conscience and try to follow
the injunction, "Four God and keep His
commaudmeut; for this is the whole iufy of
man."
Rev, O'Boyle announced that next Sunday
ovening he will treat upon "Social llifoiui."
