AN ESSAY ON THE LICENSE LAWS Tho "Writer Criticizes the Brooks' Act and Suggests a Sub tituto in the Form of aa Exoiso Commission. Sptutsl Hr.AD Correspondence. Potthtillk, Feb 4, 16'J3. UDUES Ilechtel and Orccn have been busy all week wrestling with (he applications for now llcensis. It Is surpris ing wliat good charnc tors tho men who ap ply, suddenly ret up for themselves, when it cornea to the point of wanting to become dealers In liquor. It Is liquor that 11 lis our Jails, our almshouses nntl kcot'S tho Criminal Courts busy and the men who sell it can as easily fit a good character on themselves as they can put on a porous plaster or chest protector. If some of theso follows were to set up for nngcls I supposo they could readily flnd friends to give them u clean hill of purification. In tho law of liceuso there is a requirement which makes a place applied for "necessary for tho accommo dation of the public." This it is, I suppose, that opened tho eyes of the court tu the great ticoessity of licensing three adjoining places on East Norwegian street, in this bor ough, and six or eight within two squares on North Centre street, in no moro than two of which can the public find accommodations. It is this requirement which makes liars of so many otherwiso good citizens when tbey omn tare and tako an oath to tell tho truth and immediately proceed to blind the court as to tho real facts of tho case. I.OillliD WITH LTAltS. "Necessity is thu mother of invention," it 'as long been salil, and I would rise loamend by adding aud also tho boss lieu that pre sides over the liar hatchery. Wo havo on our railroads such trains ns the Congressional Cxpress, tho Markot train, tho Limited Mail, tho Cannon ltall, and tho Huckleberry; nuw Is a good timo to put on all roads leading to ho county seat trains called tho Unlimited Liars' train, with through car3 to the county seat, stops t ovi ry fence corner for Ananins ind Sapphire plenty timo for cracker and lioreo-radish lunch at 50 t.rccmtiM along tin- route. Coming down to bed-rock facts our Hystcrn of licencing liquur marts is all wrong. It 13 an Imposition on the Judges to degrade them by requiring them by law to gnuii them and the sooner tho Legislature abolishes Mr. Brooks' act and Its amendments and sub stitutes something like an excise commission th better for the morals of the few remaining truth tollers in the commonwealth. It is a burning glianiti that the saying "all men art iiars" (presout company excepted, of course, is becoming to bo recognized as the quint essence of truth. LHO1HLATI0IT TltO BONO PUBLICO. At n very early day, and at a timo most opportune, a bill has been prepared and will be introduced Into tho Legislature now in session (which bill will doubtless become a law, becauso it is sadly and luilly needed, in fact it is moro of a necessity than half the places licensed annually to sell liquor en titled "An Act to providu for tho health and safety of the peoplo of this Commonwealth." The most important provisions of tills sojii to hecome a law will bo tho sections which will ko engrafted therein to mako it com puUory on nil boards of managers of p1ace of public iiunieeiuent an1 resort, maintained by companies chartered by tho Uw'of tin state, to keep their buildings in tepair and making it tho duty of tho mayor or chiei burgess of nuy city or borough upon com plaint made by nuy thieo tax-paying c!tizei thereof, that tho place so maintained o managed Is going Into decay or is unsafe from any reason or cause, to notify tho mamger or dltoetors thereof to .inako tho ncccssarj repairs or Improvements withiu thirty days and iu default, or for neglect, thereof, It will be the duty of Mich mayor or chief burgees tu prosecujo the said managers or directors criminally In the Quarter Sessions and upon conviction it will ba the duty of tho court tu leuteuca the culprits so criminally negligent to fine and imprisonment. This law will have a salutary nffoct tho moment it has been signed, which it surely will ho when it has been proierly uirasascd to the Governor. In Pottsvllle A law of this kind will bo of fn- culculable benefit to the people who patronizr and frequent the halls and rented apartments of the Union Hull Association, which In iudo the academy, the main hall, post office and other learnl rooms. About two j uard ago a local paper called at tention to the unsafe condition of this build ing, nud frequently biuco tho managers have been importuned to perform the simple duty they uwo to a too lenient publio by expend ing a little of tbolr vast and easily gotten gains iu placing their monopoly In decent, comfortable and cafe condition, but all these appeals havo ben so far unheeded and now the peoplp proposo to rise In their might and eompel notion as Boon as the bill mentioned has been eii.ietod Into a law. A petition as long as the ruail between here aud Shenan doah oould be jjotten to urgo the passage of the hill but sooh a. oourse is not necessary as all the Soauylklll members, aud marly all other legislators Iu the state, fa torn measure of this kind, knowing in they do that some men must be made to perform duties which they will not do of their own free will, and that life l toe sweet to be (uitnwted to tho trifling whims of dilatory and negligent peo plo in chargo of our public resorts. When a balky horso won't go he should bo treated to h very effective done of eomo kind, and elm. ilar niwllclno must sometimes bo applied to cure the old fogy notions that take possession of persons having the lives and safety of our selves and our children In their oare. NOT EH. A prominent, handsome and woll-to-do render and patron of tho IIkiiai.o living In this borough oilers to marry tho lady teaoher who receives tho highest numbor of votos in your World's Fair contest. Ho means busi ness and says as he "couldn't marry thrco" ho will select the ono who shall be selected by tho popular verdict to bo recorded by July, next. Well, won't tho lucky girl be happy, euro enough? She will not only have her pnrt of tho bridal tour paid for, hnt sho will wote a gold necklace from lloldcrraan's and geta husband who can pay for two wedding trips, and pretzels and peanuts thrown in. Let tho good work po on. Among our citizens who voto rarly ,and often for their favorites in your contest I may mention It. J. Mills, Arthur Itosengarten, Hnrry Schmidt, John F. Cooney, Gerald SIcKcrnan, M. Angclo Cooney, John Rattl. gnn, Kx-District Attorney Koch, his ox assistant, Charles A. Snyder, John Mornn and Momn, tho auditor. And thoy do not all voto for the sumo person either. As some of thoui nro singlo men you may guess which Is the ono who has offered himself as a husband to tho most favored lady. There is no north of tho mountain lawyer who comes to tho county scat who attends to business moro assiduously than John It. Coylc, Esq., of Shenandoah, Mr. Coyle, I am happy to say, has a good legal prnotico and knows his duty to his client and how to perform it. Tho liceuso mill has been grinding slowly hnt surely this week. There will bo some new places licensed In tho upper part of the county and Shenandoah, which needs a few more, will surely get fomo. Just think of it, you have only one drinking siloon to overy family of fivo. There is not enough. It is not fair, it must be correcM, there should be more, let tho thirsty he refreshed, if this is a free country. W. J. Whitchouic, Esq., has almost entirely recovered from his New Year day mishap, when ho sprained his lcfc nnkjo on Ken Severn's Dolly Varden pavement in your borough. During ihe long month of .Tanu ary this well known and aclivo lawyer only missed eight days from his work at the coll it house or oilico. Tho many friends of Dr. Williams hetc were distressed to hear of his death last Mondi y. Warm work is being clone here to select proper persons to borough and waid odlcers. For Chief Burgeas, J. G. Frick, Chief Burgees Dcrr, and the man who generally wins wheb ho runs independent, M. B Bell, aro proml nent for the chief executive oiTico In the wards Baird Snyder, of tho South-East; Mai Walker, of the South, and P. D. Helms, ol the Middle, aro pretty Bure to be retuincd ti Council. If the other wards do fcs well we shall have no cause of complaint. The candidates for School Director aio generally Kood men, Schmidt or Smithy, tho witness who was Hilled for so loudly by Lawyer Brumm in tin Zeiglcr homicide trial, has turned up at last mil is devoting tho small change he formerly wxpended for cigarettes in buying tho IlKR alp to voto for ono of your accomplished teachers.

Miss Hamil ton made her first appearanco here thissoison, testerday afternoon, In " The Little Dctec tive," In which play she won the hearts of tho ladies aud children by her clever acting aud various impersonations. In the evening, however, tho hall was well filled, and Miss Hamilton was at her best as Chip in the comedy drama, "Fogg's Ferry." The com (ny Is a good one, every actor being an artist in his or her role. Tho company remains here the rest of the week and we would advise all who wish to see a good show to feo Miss Hamilton's company. Popular prices prevail, which puts it in the power of all to attend.

Lewis jja Irono Sbaue 113 Votes polled yesterday (74 Grand total 2SOI8 Yesterday was a grcatono for tho HEiiAlD's teachers' contest. The way tho votes poured in in tho after noon nearly drovo tho contest editor wild. There was an avalaucho o' votes and the only way tho editor can account for the tre mendous vote is that tho ft ii mis of tho lenders laid in wait und expected to take tho prlva'o box iu Ferguson's theatre, Monday night, by storm. G.C74 votes were polled yesterday. Just think of itl Of these votes Miss Connolly polled the surprising number of 1,095, running her total rccoid up to tho second notch. Miss Stein still holds third placo aud did so by polling over 1,200 votes. Miss Hainl's poll for tho day was 1,470 and MisfWailcy's was C5C. Miss Fairchild polled 581 and passed Mr. Williams, who had 334 to his credit. Tho jump made by Miss Conuellv from sixth to second placo was a great surprise all nouud. The young lady did not poll a very largo voto during tho week and was steailih oing down tho ladder, but the developments .if yesterday clearly show that her friends 'were not dead, but sleeping," aud it was one of thoso slumbers wo sometimes lead about, in wuich the slumbers keep oue eyo oiien. In accordance with tho terms by which be Louiso Hamilton Thontricnl Company of fered the private box for the initial per formance of tho company's engagement at Ferguson's theatre, which tukes placo Mon d.iy night, it will now be in order for the company to place tho box at the disposal of uiss Baird. W 0 congratulate the young lady upon her sacress, Sho has undoubtedly made a mott spirited struggle for tho leadership ind has shown great strength. Wo also con gratulate the other contestants who are near the head of the column. They, too, havo mado a wonderlul showing, but, 0:' course, all could not win. We would have been pleased if all had tlod. As referenco to the tabio at tho head of 'his column will show tho grand total of votes polled in the contest up to the count yesterday was 25,018. As yesterday was but thosoveuteenth day of thocontest we find the average for each day is a fraction over 1,471. This is by far beyond the calculations of the management of tho contest aud we are eertainly grateful to the public for the ad ruirablo support it has given tho projoat. It h an nisurancc to us that tho people aro con fident that tho contest is what wo roareseut ir, and are leaving nothing undone to main taina fair aud honest competition, with justice to all aud favors for none. And we would say right here, we hope no one will placo any faith in absurd and malicious reports that arc being circulated by envious people, some of whom had not the foresight and enterprise to get into the field first and make such a showing as we do to day. On all reports that have a color of plausibility wo ask, as au act of justice, that our side be heard. The following letter was received from Pottsvillo yesterday: Contest Editoh : It Is chorged In this town and by citizens of t-henandooh that you are selling DmiALD's at the man office lor 60 cents a hundred 10 any body who asks for them. It Is also charged here thatooupons separate from the papers have been furu'shed by the office to parties who have voted them. As It Is next to Impossible to ret th- paper hero the day It ie printed aud it la rare that a copy is Be n ou your ugeni's tables minute after the arrival of the bundle.

Obo thousand papers could be sold hero every day at one cent a piece If no advantage Is given such as Is Indi cated in tfce above charges, KUUiOUlllKIt. Pottsvllle, Fob. 4, mi. Our answer to tho correspondent will be brief. Aoiu but agents have tecurai cosi'm of the Hebald at lees than one oent per copj and no coupons have bcon issued separate from the paper, uu( 110m iucA have lem atked for. We will pay $5 for such name of a man, woman cr child (other than agents) to who we have sold Ubraliib at less than oat cent a copy since tho teachers' ooutesi opened. The charges are malicious false hoods and eomo from jealousy. Such runion- are thick in this town, and It is only the re speot we havu for our oorretoudetit that leads us to coutradlot theee that eom Irani Pottsvllle, as wo have already repatdl. denied them and our position Is the sanu to day as it was when the rhst denial was made Wo thank tho correspondent for the Interest ho has token In tho contest.

Yours truly, . l. a. Wodesvlllo, 1 , Feb, 1, 1891). Wo regret oxceeditigly tho posiliou our cor respondent nnd old subscriber is In, but w cannot sco how we can grant his rcqaest. His statements nre certainly not very credit able, to the general mail scrvico in Schnyl kill county. Why, wo received coupons IhJs week from Denver, Colorado, within the teu- day limit and it is rcmarkablo that it should take six days for a return from WadctvilU which is nlmoat ou the outskirts of I'ottsvill. Exceptions to rules iu tho light requested ax llko rotten spots in apples. They tend lo dc- ttruction and for that reason wo do not think it would ho wise to comply with tho request. Wo have already rofuecd to change one rule that providing that the name of but ens teacher shall bo placed upon the coupon and must decline to muke an exception m "A. L. G's'' case.

The appropriation mado by Council a ihm-t timo since for tho new water scheme hu already been absorbed, and yet all the bills have not been paid. It is now proposed to cct up a contest to determino who is the most popular Council man this side of the Canadian border line.

Somo of the School Directors are disgusted with tho methods of the fire insurance com panies who issued policies ou tho Hlgfc school building aud they intimate that thoy would favor allowing all policies to lapse aud not renew the insurance on the building, or seek better companies. The company that insured the detks that were damaged by the recent fire has been trying to get the School Board to consent to a sand pepering aud varnishing of the desks, which would then be no bcttei, and perhaps not as good, as the desks that were replaced by the ones that ara now damaged.
