POLITICAL, POINTS.
A Few Straws Which Show tho Way of
the Wlnil.
Surprises may bo looked for from unex
pected quarters. Tho IJcpublioins will be
nioro than pleased.
State Chairman Gilkyson is working with
his sleeves rolled up. Philadelphia will roll
up an unprecedented majority for tho tariff
patty. Tho shut down of Dabson's mills is
tho last straw.
Tho Democratic candidates in this county
do not seem to trust their chairman, as but
few of them havo paid him their assessment!
"What is tho matter with tuo Unions.' was
asked by ono Democrat of another, tho othor
day. They aro all right (for tho Republicans)
this year.
Tho r opullsts will have little uso for their
Democratic ally after this. Tho Democrats
always look out for No. 1. Having succeeded
in carrying tbo country with tho aid of tho
Populists thoy havo no further uso for them.
But, then, thcro is anothor day coming.
who n tho poor, deluded workingmen go
to tho polls to voto this yoar thoy will not
stand much taffy from tho party that has
brought about poor times. No moro roostor
diet for them.
Look out for tho National plums after tho
election. Thoy aro about ripo and ready to
fall. Congressman Iteilly will give tho tree a
shake about that time.
Dr. Dechort, tho Republican candidate for
Treasurer, was in town again last evening
doing good work. If there Is a more con
fident man In politics than tho Doctor we
have not met him yet.
"The Repeal bill will pass" but when?
Senator Sherman is a thorn lu tho sides of
tho Democrats. Ho is the peer of them all.
Let Congress adjourn. It has been playing
tho baby aot long enough.
The now tariff bill is almost ready, but are
tho Amerioan workingmen to accept starva
tion wages ?
Use Wells' Laundry Blue, the bei
Bluing for laundry uso. Each package makes
two quarts. 15cts. Sold by Coakloy Bros,
'The 1'nlrlo Well."
Tho always welcome Irish play, "The
Fairies' Well," conies to Ferguson's theatre
Monday, Oct. SOth. It has been changed
somewhat from last season, and tho changes,
It is said, have improved it. Geo. H.Tim
mons, is still the feature, while the company
is said to be the best ever seen in the play,
New specialties, iuoludlng selections by The
Fairies' Well quartette, are introduced. This
company hare always kept faith with our
people and in eoaasqueaee it enjoys au
enviable reputation in Shenandoah, which
will be tested by the welcome wo will givo
them Monday night.

OBE'S OBSERVATIONS.
WtlHt II
See timl Ileum During III
Trnvrln.
Whllo perusing ono of tho Philadelphia
papers recently my oyos full upon tin adver
tisement rending somowhst llko thin:
Q-1 AA OHHh will purchase tho hnndpome
OIUU Kentucky bred trotting ware, Annie
nUk, sired by Hill HiIltK. ho by Jim llllks,
dura Mary flay. Annlo links can trot fn 2:27:
sound, used im a road and family mnre, but
lately took fright nt tbo cable onrs and ran
away, and on that account must be told.
Tho advertisement was so nicoly and
frankly framed that nt tho time I concluded
that It hold out a rare opportunity for somo
man wishing a horso with somo speed, hut
upon glancing down tho column I noticed a
number of advertisements differently worded,
but ovidontly insortod with tho same object
In viow and then I commenced to think and
tried to tlx in my mind why a man Bhould bo
willing to part witli n thoroughbred maro
with a record of 2:2? for tho paltry sum of
$100!
Finding myself to arrlvo at a satisfactory
conclusion I decided to consult a gentleman
In town who has had cousidorablo oxperionco
In horeo dealings. "Why," said he as ho
glanced over tho advertisement I had clipped
from the newspaper, "this is meroly a 'gyp'
scheme. There are sovoral men in town who
have learned by oxpbrieuoe what such ad
vertisements mean. You see, thero aro
various methods of oxcuses for tho disposal of
these supposed excellent horses, and some of
thorn are oxcoliont, but you never get them
at that figure. Tho trick is this: You call
upon tho advertiser and ho treats you royally;
takes you to the stablo, allows you a fino
horso and takos you for a drivo behind it
thiough Fairmount Park. You become
captivated and try to forco tho $100 into tho
owner's hand before you get back to tho
stable, but ho refuses tho offer unless you
ivill also take tho 'buggy, harness, blankots,
etc' Tho horso is genuine and you want
him, henco you give in nnd ask tho prico of
tho buggy, &c. Tho nnswor is any whero
from S-t7G to $230. High you think, but then
you look at tho lino horso you can get for
$100, and yet you can't get it unless you also
purchaso tho buggy ami 'etc' Terms of
payment comes next. Tho seller is fair,
'Oivo the cash for tho buggy, etc. aud pay for
my trottor when delivered.' Somo times ho
is still moro generous and will say, 'I'll ship
the buggy, etc., at once. If you pay for them
on delwory I'll ship tho trotter lator.' Elthor
offer is genorally snapped up and the pur
chaser returns home bubbling over with
good spirits and chuckling with delight over
the surprise he will givo his townsmen when
the trotter arrives.
"Well tho 'buggy, otc.,' finally arrives, is
paid for, and becomes your property; but tho
horse fails to arrlvo aud when you seek in
formation you aro informed that tho dealer
is very sorry to bo obliged to stato that the
horse you built so much upon went lame and
and tho dealer could not risk his reputation
by telling a horso that was not up to the re
quirements of the advertisement. Further
more, ho informs you, the horse has been sent
to the Kentucky farn and should it recover
you will bo notified. And there you are !
Right in it I You have no 2.27 or 2.15 trotter,
but yon have 'buggy, harness, blankets, etc.,'
for which you paid $175 or more and which
are really worth about $75 or $100. Do you
see tho point?"
Contrary to expectations, work on the
Lakeside electric railroad has not been
started. Tho pnblio lookod for It because tho
newspapers told them to, and tho newspapers
mado the announcement by authority
of Capt. J. F. Bailoy. If tho latter
hadn't sufficient information to mako
him positive in tho matter ho should
not have mado tho statement. Tho people
get tired of theso announcements and tho
constant disappointments load them to lose
confidence lu tho project. Jnst when every
thing seems to bo arranged satisfactorily tho
unexpected occurs; something which should
havo been attended to in the first place turns
up as among tho forgotten, or neglected
things, and tho building of tho road is put
off for another period; then the people begin
to "kick" about tho obstructions ou tho
streets, the Counollmen become impatient,
and unpleasant feelings aro created on all
sides, all because "something has been for
gotten." I have reached the conclusion that
no ono knows when work ou tho road will
commence and if I were the editor of the
Herald I would not again announce the
beginning until I could see some of the rails
and sills down. 11 eantline I would lay low
and electrocute the first one asking "when
will the road start ?" Ows.

j3 HERE was qulto n stir
in somo of tho political
circles lu town to-day
over a report that
somo of tho Domociatic
leaders last night mado
desperate effort to
recoucllo tho Polish
voters by a promlso of future reward. The
larty who caused the circulation of the re
port at tho same time stated that tho effort
was an unsuccessful ouo, as the parties to
whom tho proposition was mado promptly
rejoctod It.
Tho allogod proposition was that if tho
Poles and Lithuanian pooplo of Shenandoah
should givo tho Democratic party their
support this fall thoy would bo rewarded
next spring with at least threo good borough
ofllces.
It is moro than likely that tho wholo story
Is a fako and was started to mako pooplo
boliovo thnt tho Poles nnd Lithuanians aro
open to propositions to desert tho standard
under which Blcrstcln stands as a candidate.
AHekald reporter to-day called upon
several prominent Poles aud Lithuanians
who aro very influential in local politics and
thoy declared tho report a hoax. One of
them said with much spirit, "You can say in
your paper that wo are for Bierstien and tho
wholo Republican ticket. This story is
nonsensical. If thero was such a meeting I
certainly would have heard of it I know
nothing of such a meeting and do not boliovo
ono was hold."
During tho interviews tho reporter found
that tho sentiments of the Polish and Lithuan
Ian pooplo aro decidedly anti-Democratic.
Thoy rldiouhxl tho alleged offer and asked
what inducement the three borough offices
would bo. "Wo aro looking for a county
offlco now," said ono of them, "aud will
look after borough matters later ; but whon
we do we will want something moro than
wind to depend upon. We cannot count on
the Democrats of this town. We have found
them traitors. They promised us a policeman
last spring; did we get ono? Wo had a young
lady as an applicant for school teacher before
the School Board last June and the only
votes she received were from tho Republican
mombers of tho Board."
In another interview an Influential and
very prominent man said, "Tho Idea is
ridiculous. Why, do you think pooplo aro so
blind as to make a deal with thoso pooplo
hot o when thoy aro doing all In their power
to kill us in districts whero our people havo
no voto? The report is no good. There's
nothing in it."
It is quite clear that tho report is a hoax,
but it would not bo surprising if it should bo
discovered that an attempt had been mado to
bring about a meeting such as reported, as
the Democratic party is badly scared. The
attempts will not bear fruit, however, judg'
lug from the results of to-day's investigation,
