A Klrmeaii, Last ovoning Post Utf, Grand Army of the Republic, decided to hold a Kirmess, some thing new and very popular, for tho purpose of replenishing their Widows' and Orphans' fund and help along the Soldiers' Monument. Tho unusual drain on tho resources of the Post by the death of several members and the relief of a largo number of widows and orphans has mads it necessary to tako this step. A strong committee has bcon appointed to make the necessary arrangements and tho pnhlio may count on having something good for the patronage they are oxpected to give tho Post.

When the case wns up for a hearing the testi mony showod that the case was the rtxult of spite work and the Justice directed tho prose cutor to pay tho costs, amounting to about six dollars.

The as(s)tute editor of the Potlsvllle lit publican, is' one of tho uiost grateful nows- paper men in the county and his kind words drop as oil upon tho troubled waters. He has never recovered from the gratification (?) af forded him by his friend's tippointmeut as Postmaster of Shenandoah. Tho pleasure was so great that he has since behaved like a man aillicted with softening of the brain The ttcpulUcan has had rv long pull at the political teat. Wo btill remember tho time when an honored relative of tho editor of that paper held one of the best paying ollices m tho county for feveral years, and we re member the tenacity with which he held on to it until the people discovered that the ollice was a barnacle on the public treasury and abolished it. So far as tho Republican itself is concerned it is tho recognized "for rnvenuo only" organ in tho county. Its favors aro always upon the market nnd its actions aro entirely dependent upon the quantity of "soap" that is within reach. Tho people have never really understood why tho JUuublican opposed tho appointment of tho oditorof this paper as Postmaster of Shenan doah. Tfio facts aro thesa : the Mr. Zerbey who holds a position under tho Lehigh Coal Company is a brother of tho editor of the I'tyuMicaa and a hrothor In-law of John C. Seltzer, whom Mr. Boycr succeeded as Postmaster of this town. St el As long as brother In-law Seltzer wa3 allowed to hold on to tho so-called teat there was 110 cause for complaint, hut when tho chniigo was mado the Republican eon sWered that the government wns not acting wisely. . J. Morgan was Mr, BoyciJs first opponent for the appointment, but upon discovering that his chances wero slim Mor gan nnd his friends combined with tbi brothers-in-law tor Seltzer's retention. All fell between tho benches nnd Morgan was soon after made the Shenandoah cor respondent of tho Republican. The fight on Mr. Boycr and tho "gang" was then started aud tho vigor with which it lias been kept up is so well known to the public that it needs no review here. I.tucoln Anniversary.

WHAT OUR CORRESPONDENT SAYS. The Sooner Govornor Pattlson Appoints Judge Groon's Suo oflssor the Better Names Montionod. Special llEitw.D Correspondence. Potts ville, Fob. 11, 1893. EATH claimed a shin ing mark when it re moved Judge D. B. Green last Monday night nfler lees than thirty-six hours ill ness, and a void is left in tho ranks of tho Bench and Bar of Schuylkill which will bo noticeable for many years. It was well said by P. M. Dunn, Esq., who delivered a masterly eulogium at the Bar meeting on Thursday, when he said, "Judges aro not made by political parties or political conven tions. A Judge of the typo of him wo mourn is called by tho wisdom of tho people." He might havo added Judges aro born, not made, by any human power, for it is a fact iu tho ease of Judgo Orcen that ho was a natural born Judgo. All cincedo that and that ho was studious, courageous and honest. Err, ho doubtless did, but who -.theie among all men in positions of trust and power who sumo time in his ofllclal career has not erred? Notono. Judge Green will be mourned by tho legal fraternity for nil tlmo so well was he loved aud respected. His sudden end has east a gloom over tho whole community and in reviewing his tireless work, and knowiug nothing of the rowurd he will receive for it in the land called tho great Unknown, brings foith the wonder ngniu "Is life worth living, after all." WHO WILL SUCCKEI) .Il'DGK QHKKS? Already ambitious members of this county liar, aud some lawyer, are casting their nets to catch tho appointment to the place made vacant by the death of Judge Green. The all-niwoiblng question is that which sub bonds this paragraph : Who will succeed Judge Linen V I ought, perhaps, drop this subject with tho query, but there are a few thoughts which ought to he publUhed and now i3 tho timo to do it. Governor Pattiaou will be called or. very shortly to fill the vacancy and just how, or with whom, he will fill it is a matter of tho gioattst importance not only to the legal fraternity but to the Iieoplo at largo. The condltlou of legal busi ness iu this county and tho iuteresta of litigants aud taxpayers arc such that n suci-ebMir to Judgo Green cannot bo appointed any too soon, after llio Governor has had time to look over tho field with a view of making theriglitsolcction. Ten days timo will be long enough for a man of the sagacity of the Governor to measure all the men who make up available timber for the p'ae and it is hoiied ho will not delay naming tho man longer than tho 20th inst. Situated as we are, witli our President Judge physically unlit to do duty, and only ono Judgo 011 the bench to cope with the mass of work con stantly accumulating, the demand 011 the appointing power for speedy action is very urgent. He should allow no feelings of sham sentiment to hiuder or blind him, but he should buckle on to his sworn duty at as oarly an hour as is practicable aud give 113 a now Judge, so that the business of our courts, which has been sadly interrupted by Iho sickness of ono aud the death of another, may go on again with the regularity and precision of furuier days. THK BOONEU THK HITTER. We are a progressive people in country, state, couuty, town, township, patch and hamlet, and when a good oJHcial is called tu his last home, another is soon named to take his place. So when Justice Lamar died recently, President Harrison appointed Judgo Jackson to tho vacancy within a few days after the dead jurist's funeral and on the bench of the United Statos Supreme Court there are eight othors to hear tho cases. When a cabinet officer dies the department goes into mourning but keeps working along just tbo tame, so that tho public business is not delayed or affected. Therefore, when the state aud volume of our law business is taken into consideration, I think, it would be wise to fill the present vaeaniy. so that the new ofllcul could begiu work on Monday, the 20th Inst. Beginning with next Monday for ono week will bo Supreme Court week tor this county when it is usual to hold no court here and many of our attorneys will be absent in Philadelphia. It might be a good timo then for the Governor to feel tho pulte of the lawyers as to a proper person to ap point, but I imagine he has his own effectual way of ascertaining who it would be proper to appoint without asking a singlo member of our Bar. I can also easily imagine how feeling the pulse of the lawyers might make him wish the constitution had not imposed tho duty of filling such a vacancy upon him, beeaase no two of our many legal lights, each one of whom thiuk he has the most influence with tho Governor, would agree on the same person and our state executive would be none the wiser for his pains. BOMB WHO ABB MKNTlONtl). Of the ninety resident moinbers of the Bar, I hear most prominently mentioned tbo fol lowing, either one of whom thinks he ie fit to be a Judf e, and some of whom really are. Hon. John W. Byon, Hon. Charles N. Brumm, Hon, James B. Rotlly , Hon. James Ryon, Hon. Thomas H. Walker, B. H. Koch, A. W. Sohalck, S. It. Kaercher, Matcm WetdiMn and William A. Mnrr. I have not named these men in tho order of their ability but at random, because some of thu lMt named are more able, perhaps, than some of thoee tint named, and it is not for me to sit mytolf upon the pinnacle of judgment on the cnljMt, hut I may be permitted to my that the pflfatal lightning may strike one whose name Is not mentioned above and that there lea growing feollnij that Judge Green's suceeceor may Ite a Republican. Certain it is, In view of the fact tiiat Governor Pattlson may very soon be called upon to me hi appointing power again lu this county to nnmo a man for the Orphans' Court, in case that inmecesaary court Is croatcd for us, ho will take into very serious consideration the advisability of mak ing a successor to a dead Republican out of tho best Republican material ho enn find. In this event ho would namo your nominco and candldato of last year, ox-District Attornoy Koch, who is every way fitted for tho posi tion and whose selection would meet with the hearty approval of a majority of the po plo in nnd out of court. But should ho decide to name n Democrat who 8 also eminently qualified to beeome-n good, conscientious nnd courageous Judge, ho would select Hon. John W. Uyon. "How happy I could be with either, were the other dear charmer away." In a onto like this any of us can proposoi it will bo tho Governor who will dispose, and' let him dispose as soon nn possible. He inli ne, t do it too soon for Schuylkill count'. POINT.

Since tho Hag of our Union now lloats over Hawnli, it is expected some local newspaper will start a contest to send tho mot popular local editor to Honolulu, or other seaport in. tho far away islands. The most unpopular fellow would doubtless draw tho prize. Tho new Unale county pnjeot is unpopular here. If our people who oppose it knew how many lawyer are considering tho propriety of moving them they wuuld favor the new county. There arc so many weddings taking place here that many of our loenl preachers ra looking with longing eye to the seashore and tho minuter vacation, with plethoric pocket books.
