OMATTEU,dear reader,
whethor tbo author of
"Beautiful Snow," that
most pathetic ami soul
affecting mld-wiutcr
poem, Is over found out
or not; no mattor
whethor tlio particulars
of the death of tho Ar
tic explotor, Sir John
Franklin, is over explained to tlio satisfaction
of a scientific public; no matter whether
the fato of crow and passengers of the City of
Boston, which for twenty years has been
mystery, over comes to light; no matter
whethor Brer Itastus can ever demonstrate
that tho "sun do move;" no difference to you
or me whether an open polar Eea Is over dis-
covered or not, slnco it has transpired and
been definitely ascertained to whom tbo pub
lie is indebted for tho monetary plank in the
platform adopted at Harrisburg on Wedncs
day by tho Republican Stato Convention,
And but for tho ontcrpriso of a borough oven
Ing paper, which interviews the same
gentleman on some great problematic
subject every fortnight, wo would all bo still
in tho dark and it would uovor bo known to
whom tho general public aro Indebted for
many blessings which comoto us Boftly as tho
gentlo dews from heaven. True, wo havo
been led to believe, and many of us hope, that
tho Greenback party was a thing of tho past
but llko Banquo's ghost, the man who wants
to keep it alive and tho shado of tho dofuuet
party itself will not down, but they both per
sist in coming up just at a timo when nobody
is thinking about either of them, at a time
when for various good causes they both havo
every right to slumber in tho sleep of obliv-
ion.
SHOULD GET OFF TIIK EARTH.
Tbis,mundaue sphere is not good enough
for some people, and eomo day these worthies
will got tho raw material and niako one of
their own, whero they can rule or ruin to
their hearts' content. Wo particularly refer
to that Individual or individuals who recently
attempted to put tho Republican county con
vention into a holo by committing it to un
wise politics and by attempting tho noinina-
tion of played-out officials ; and, in short, by
divers tricks which were found out and nipped
in the bnd by sagacious leaders and reprceon
tatlvo men who can alwnys bo trusted,
Later on one of those samo manipulators
figured on the wrong side iu tho Gilbcrtou
riot and assisted a verdant correspondent of
tho Philadelphia Press in deceivlug that
usually wide-awake newspaper into publish
ing a gross perversion of tho truth. It will
now bo in order for these great pervortors to
receive tbo samo consignment that tho dovil
gave to that great disturber of tho peace of
Sheol. "Younginan,"said his nibs, tho Devil
"we ain't used o your ways here in our do
mains. Vi'u aro used to having harmony and
peaco anu you aro a little too lresli In your
ways to shlno as a harmouizer; so I'll give
you n portion of brimstone and a few matches
and you can go somewhere and set up a little
hell of your own."
CLKAMNO THE DECKS FOIt ACTION.
Early nest week Field Maishal Whitehouse
will open Republican headquarters in tho
Seltz building, 114 South Centre street, tho
same as those occupied by Chairman Marr fur
Democratic headquarters last year, and noted
for tho many vlctoiies whioh resulted from
campaigns conducted therein. With his Sec
retaries, Losoli and Duffy, and a corps of
clerks, Sir, Whitehouse will organize an ag
gressive campaign and it will keep tho oppo
nents of his ticket busy to keep up with his
rapid gait. It will be a clean campaign and
tho dealers in mud who havo large Btocks to
dispose of will be notified that they cannot
find a market for their material iu tbo Seitz
building, as none will be thrown from Re
publican guns this year. If thero is any
merit in complete organization and harmony
the Republican chairman proposes to get all
the benefit he can out of thoso elements. The
claims of his various candidates for election
will be urged to the best advantage and here
and there.especially in the matter of the Con
trollership, where it appears the election of
the Republican candidate for a particular
offlco would be best for tho community at
large, it will bo shown that the election of the
Democratic candidate would result iu a public
calamity. Mr. Whitehouse can be trusted to
luake as effective a ooutest as his resources
will permit of, and when the battle is over
and the smoke rites from the fUld It will re- J
quire more than one basket to carry the
laurels won.
A STIUUIHT TIP.
Tho office in which the piblie teem to take
tho most interest so early is that of f 'oiituilUr.
Tho importance of si ,ui ii.j.' u 1 tho ..thi-r
offices combined Is uot regarded as amounting
as mncll us that of tho selection of the
proper pert on to fill the one office of Con
troller. Tl Is interest arista from tho factthat
tho mistake of electing a. man to tho oilico
who would! afillate with and be of the same
ilk politically at the majority of officials whoso
accounts hotmust supervise can bo cosily mado
easily maldo, I say, liecnuso there aro so
many voteiU who aro cwlly deceived Into
unnaiy stl'.uing to n bad nomination, no
matter howl their business interests may bo
afl'ectod. hfannily for tlieso people, and in
splto of Uolr own stupidity, thero
are sufllcieiit senslblo ones who regard
tlio welfare elf tho county, and consequently
thoir own gobd, as paramount to ovorything
olso, and the) am taking hold of this Control-
lership fight in tho proper way and with tho
proror spirit, Tho lato Democratic county
convention d sregardod tho public demand to
place on its t ckot tho proper kind of man
for this purcln-business office and that party
now has no c alms on independent busluebs
democrats, to rote for Its nomlneoand thereby
ratify tho plui ider made. I stato It as a sound,
sensible and li laioal proposition that tho man
who has any ilmsinoss interest at stako who
votes for a noitalnco for an ofilco, such as Con
trailer, simply
by his party c
bceauso hohas been nominated
buvcntiou is a blind fool. Those
of us who
nomination
know how tho Domocratio
fl for' Controller
was
made, audi
1 1
linw hen other
worthy aspirailits for other offices in that con
vontlon were liurned down,- and how it is
proposed to nut tho Controller's office If the
Democratic candidate is elected, aro not afraid
to eomo out opdnly and boldly for tho credit
ablo nomlneo Juiado by tho Republicans in
thoir convention, Benjamin It. Severn, tho
and county-loving family, and
ouo who has leArucd how "to control himself
so that ho cam control tho office and the
officials hoi3 clikted to control."
Let mo give ylour readers ono little straight
tip. The politicians may get most of the
county offices tol bo parcelled out this fall, but
tbo rcoplo aro Jgoing to claim ouo for thoir
own, and that Ms tho office of County Con

lfurmor ltnllch.
A man representing himself as John Fitch
on Wednesday hired a horso from Liveryman
Maurer, of Ashland, to drlvo six miles Into
tho country. Neither the man or horse has
et turned up. It has siuco been learned
that Fitch is a shrewd bunoo-steerer. nnd
played his gamo upon William llollch, a
well-to do farmer of Taylorsvlllo. Tho
sharper represented himself as agent for a
widow residing at Shamokin, who wanted to
purchasoa farm.
Ho told tho farmer ho would give him
$1,000 for his farm, which tho unsuspecting
farmer accepted. Fitch told tho latter ho
had $5,000 iu securities In a box which ho had
with him, and offered to let Bollch havo tho
box If ho would glvo him $1,000 cash. Tho
money was borrowed from neighbors and
handed to tho smooth-tonguod swindler, who
departed chuckling with glco over his great
scoop.
Farmer Bollch went to his homo with his
apposed treasure, and with great dolight in
formed his family of his groat luck. Whou
tho box was opened its contents was found to
consist merely of a lot of bark nnd cork.
Bollch will bo compelled to mortgage his farm
to almost its full valuo in order to pay back
tho amount ho borrowed. Constables aro now
on the track of Fitch, but It is not likely that
ho will bo caught.

Photographer Bretz, of Pottsvlllo, nccom
panlcd by Deputy District Attorney Bechtol,
yestorday visited Gilbcrtou aud took several
photographic views at tho corner of Main
and Church streets, where tho riot occurred.
A number of tho citizens co-oporatcd iu the
work so as to duplicato ns near as possiblo the
scenes on that terrlblo night. The Schuyl
kill Traction Company ran dinkey No. 1, tho
car upon which tho posso wont to GUbcrlon,
up to tho coiner and men were placed on tho
platform to reprcbent Amour, Briggs and
others alleged to havo been on it. A crowd
was also placed in front nnd about tho car to
reproduce tho scene as described by wit
nesses at tho inquest. Views wero also taken
of tho street when cleared nnd several
buildings in tho vicinity wero photographed

According to a circular just issued tho
cistedfodd hold at Lavollo on August 15, last,
under tho auspices of tho Schuylkill Musical
Festival Ateociation, was a failure. The cir
cular sets forth that there is a deficiency of
sovoral hundred dollars over and ubove all re
colpts of the association on account of tho
financial condition of tho peopo in this sec
tion of the state, and tho different coal com
panies delaying the pays of their employee
and also because of tho large number of at
tractions at other places on tho same day
with better railroad facilities. An assessment
of $5 from each member is called to cover tho
deficiency, payablo on or before September
11th.

HE peoplo who went
from Shenandoah this
morning to witness the
gamo of ball say thoy
never saw a worse ex
hibition of tho national
gamo than that mado
by tho home team. One
disinterested party said
thai both clubs played poorly, but tho Shen
audoah team put up a ridiculous gamo. Dur-
ng tho greater rart of tho contort the Maha-
noy City players had them at thoir mercy.
Tho Shenandoah team must do some won
derful playing this nfteruoon to temper the
sentiment of tho cranks in town and if this
morning's burloequo is rcpoatod somebody
will suffer,
Most of tho cranks woro censuring the
homo management for only Bonding seven
players over this morning nnd depending
upon tho morcy of Mahanoy City. Tho two
borrowed players woro Boylo and Heisor, but
tho defeat cannot bo laid at their door.
Ono or two of our townsmen spoko unfeel'
ingiy of tho umpire upon their rcturu here,
but ho, too, uiU8tbo exculpated from all blame
in the faco of tho summary published bclowf
which is reliable
Fredericks, tho Philadelphia man who
joined the team this week, rertainly mudo an
inglorious debut. Ho only accepted threo out
of eight chances.
The truth is there appears to be something
wrong with the home team. It has not
played a game for a week, yet it goes upon
tho diamond and put up a gamo that any
juvenllo team In tho town could beat. A
short timo ago some of tho players complained
that their bad playing was due a lack of
practice, thoy wanted more games, that may
bo the rock upon which thoy split this morn
ing, but at all ovents tho cranks havo a long
black mark against them.
Read this summary aud reflect ; nnd think
of tho halcyon days when wo walloped the
Prow, Richmond and other teams over the
diamond. Something has certainly gone
wrong.
