SOMETHING ON THE RIOT, An Opinion TlmttlioIUMromliiKOccmrciict, Was a Tniilgcily nf IlliiinlcrH Tlu, Now ItcimlilU-iiu County Chairman and Ills Prolmblo Policy, Special Herald Correspondence. l'OTTBVILLE, Aug. 20. MOBE regretful happen lug than tlio riot at Gllbcrton, which has f,,r:cl,n,l -wtl fijSSwtiA niont for tho week, can- llnf Itn tninfrtnr.fi In fact a inoro uncalled for.unprovokcd.unmltl gated outrage than that has novor been recorded in tho nows annals of Schuylkill county. In tho dark days which woro dlspollcd by tho hang ing of twenty-one Mollio McQuirca thoro were many cowardly murders commit' ted, some of them so brutal and cowardly in tholr details that tho wholo community ro yoltod at a recital of tho facts, but tho porpe tration of this crimo which resulted in tho death of two inoffenslvo citizens and tho wounding of others at Gllberton during tho foro part of this week is without a parallel in tho history of Schuylkill county crimo, for downright devilishness, stupidity and wan tonnoss. Tho riot and consequent murders wero tho result of a bunch of blunders. In tho first placo whoovor advised tho tearing up of tho tracks by tho Gilberton borough authorities blundorod ; and tho lawyer, lawyers or othor person who counselled relaying tho tracks under tho protection of National Guard rifles not only blundered but aro parii eps crim- inis ; and the officer, Richard Amour, who was in command of tho armed posse, blundered badly in taking such counsel, in his selection of hot-headed men, and in loadingthclr weapons with ball cartridges, Altogether it was a tragedy of orrors, and when tho District Attoruoy finishes his task of placing tho responsibility there may bo few people who will wish they had been born in Kamchatka, or not at all, for a civilized country is too good for them. But this wholo community is mcanwhilo cautioned to bo cool, calm and law-abiding and to suspend its judgments until tho facts havo all been divulged and tho responsibility has been placed where it belongs; then let tho law tako its course, no matter whero tho blamo and tho punishment may fall. This Gilberton crimo is tho more appalling for this reason : it did not grow out of sudden passion bar-room fight, tho heat engendered through politics, religious or family quarrels, but it grew out of that right of eminent domain given by tho highest law in tho state, whore by it appears that oven in tho exercises of tho highest rights granted their use may fall into tho worst hands in any community. MIDSUMMER I'OLITICS. Tho county campaign has not yet opened in earnest, but there are quito a number of moves for position being made. Vantage ground is what both ptrtios aro aftor. Mean while tho sentiment that this is anybody's fight is becoming crystalizcd. There is a largo population in this county who do not caro who fill the new offices on tho hill and it is getting more and more to bo recognized that tho averago ticket that will be voted at this off-year election will look like a picco out of a crazy patch work quilt. Tho inde pendent voter will strut tho boulevard this year in great shapo and when tho votes como to bo counted the tally sheets will look like a barbed-wiro fonce. On tho principle that "what is worth doing at all is worth doing well," and in obedience to tho old saying "never send a boy on a man's errand," W. J. Whitehousc, Eso, , wag unanimously chosen last Monday by tho Ko publican candidates to be thefr Captain-General. It goes without saying that tho position camo to Mr. Whltchouse uusought, In fact, it required ten days' coaxing before tho busy lawyer consented to accept the chairmanship and undertake its onerous duties. The desire that ho should conduct this campaign for his party candidates was so overwhelmingly unanimous that Mr. Whitehouso couldn't well decline the leadership without injuring tho chances of election of every man on tho ticket and hurting the feelings of some of his warm est friends, Now that the candidates have got him they will bo made to obey him. They will be asked to toe the mark in every requirement of the chairman or get off the band wagon. Tho work of the chairmanship having been thrust on Mr. Whitehouse's shoulders he is going to havo things his way or the procession will not move. It seems to your seribe that this is tho only sure way to suooess- With refraotory horses a stage couch cannot bo safely drawn down a narrow and step mountain road and uo one IsjjwWthU better than the new county olSmitau of the minority politlsaj party In Schuylkill. WHY EHVSMM SHOULD WIN. I am asked to give publiejty to the fallow- iug which camo to nio irom a well-known democrat : Mil Sciiiiib: Pleaso find room In your lotter lor tbo following thought: I am a Democratic votor of 30 yearn standing and, I claim, n con sistent one. However, I do not now regard.aml never have regarded, a blind following of the mlstnkrs of a party county convenilon as any test or criterion of Democracy or party fealty. The Hue should always bo drown on bail mini- Incos for county offices and, In company wllh hundreds of others. I propose this fall to help draw It. A new ofllco has been created by tho Legislature which must bo filled by theolectlon of onoot two nominees. Two Shenandoah men havo been nominated, P. J, Mulholland by tho Democrat and I), It. Bovern by tlio Itcpubll- cans. There Is, and should bo.no party politics connected with nn honost admin istration of his ofllcc, no more than party politics should cntor Into tho conduct of prlvuto buslnoas or church affairs, and believ ing Mr. Severn tho Kepubllcnn nominee, Is hotter fitted to till tho requirements of tho onice than his opponent, I shall cast my voto for him and In Juco all Democrats who havo tho courage of their own convictions todollkowlso. Ilosldes, Independent voters In tho Democrntlo party will bo guided by another purpose In voting for Mr. Sovorn. Governor Pattlson und Gen. Decbcrt, both Democrats, wero clcoied Controller of Phlladelnhla twlco each by Republican votes, beoiuso tho people of that city believed tho watch dog of tho treasury should bota person of opposite politics to tho party In power. "Hero in Schuylkill county Democrats nro almost constantly In office on the hill nndnt tho almshouse, and It would bo the height of folly and tend to defeat tho purposes of tho ofllco to elect a person to tho position of Controller who would Blllllaio with the very ofllclals ho Is placed ovor to watch and control. I will go a Uttlo farther und tay tho Controller must not only bo "a man of strong mind nnd executive ability, a man who will not lot his good naturo lntertcro with tho responsible dutlos which ho has to perform," but ho must bo a man who has the courngo to control hlmsolf so that ho can control tho office und tho ofllclals hols cite ted to control. Tbls can hardly boa man who has tlio same uartv add fjerconal affiliation as tho majority of tho ofllclals usually cleeiod In this county." - All I havo to add.in' roferenco to tho ahovo is this. If Democrats aro going to tako tlio samo viow of Controller as that taken by tho taxpayers in Philadelphia when Pattison and Dechert wero elected thoro will bo an avalanche of Domocratia votes polled for Mr, Severn on tho soventh day of'noxt November.
