C01II SHUT I r Our Regular Correspondent's View of Political Affairs AND THE REPORTED DEAL, Ilu Thinks There In Still Some. Doubt That Allen find Mat-till llavn Miule tlio Agree ment Which Hits Itceu (liven so Much Publicity. Special IIli'Ai.d Correspondence. PllTTSVII.LE, Dec. 14. NGRATITUDE is ab horred by God and man," L'Estrange tells us, but it required not tho Frenchman's word for it, so fir as man is concerned, becauso al most daily wo ato con fronted with tho truth of his words. "Un grateful as a dog" is a very common ex pression, but wo cannot say it is a truism in fact most curs aro more grateful than men for kindnesses, and this is proved nearly overy lay in ordinary life. Ingratitudo and troacliory go hand In hand. Show mo a man who is treacherous aud I will point out ono who is, or has been, uugrateful. Thoso thoughts aro produced by tho an nouncement in our morning daily that a deal has been entered into between ouo of tho He- publican Commissioners-elect, Mr. Charles F. Allen, aud tho Democratic Commissioner- olect, Mr. John I. Mutin, by which tho other Commissioner-elect, Mr. Krauk Kentz, is left in tho cold to far as tho now officials in tho commissioners' ollico and jail is con corned. 1 am told by this deal a Democrat is to bo appointed County-solicitor, another Democrat chief clerk in tho commissioners' ollico and a man from Tamaqua, of doubtful politics, warden of tho prison. rUTTIKO TI1EII1 MO 1'RKT IX IT. Tho information is also voluntoored that tho Controller is to bo allowed but ouo clerk to perforin tho manifold dutiesofthe most important ollico in tho county, an ollico which will have thrice tho duties and labor in it as that of tho Commiseionors after Janu ary 1st, 1801; that these worthies, in fact, hnvo arrogated to themselves tho ability to judge of tho sizo of tho necessary clorlcal forco df tho Controller's ollico without ever reading tho act by which that olhro was created, or iftheyhavo read it, without understanding provisions, or those of tho act of March 31, 1S7G, Without saying anything more about this than tho following, which isquotcd from the 7th, section of the last named act, wo leavo tho subject of tho Controller's clerks for tho time. It is provided therein as follows: "But if, after such decision is made, (mu ing tho number of clerks and their salaries to be fixed bj tho board consisting of tho Controller and tho Commissioners) any ofUccr shall think that tho number of bis clerks or deputies it too fow or tho compensation fixed for either is too small as tho samo may have been determined by tho lourd, he may ap ntal from the ac ion thereof to the Judge or Judges of the Court of Common Pleas of tho county in which ho is an otllcer, who shall hoar and detcrmlno such appeal as promptly as possible, and their decision thereof shall bo final; each of said board shall keep a correct uiniuto book of its proceedings iu all casts heard and determined by it." OUILTY OH NOT GUILTY. Your scribe does not tako as much stock in the truth of tho story of tho alleged disrepu table deal as most people do. Ho cannot bring himself to believe that Mr. Allon is ready just yot to commit political harikari; nor can ho beliove that Mr. Kentz is going to sit quietly by and sco tho Republican organi zation, which made them both, snubbed and spit upou. So I will not criticizo Mr. Allen as harshly as sonio are doing every day on the highways and byways, nor call him vilo namos, nor threaten to burn him in elllgy and all that. It is better, ra(hcr, to try to reason with him and warn him against his inevitable fato if he is guilty of this allegid troachery, aud if not guilty, to iuduco him not to do the wrong be is accused of having already done. First then, Mr. Allen posed as n reformer while ho was doing activo aud yoemau duty as a county auditor. Ho was in line of pro motion as a reformer when ho aspired to the otHco of Commissioner. As such ho wag taken iu hand by the ruau who was afterward unanimously selectod as tho chairman and captain general of his party, aud to him ho owes hit nomination, and to him ho is indebted, more than to any other ono person, for his election. This man still represents the Re pub'icau organization iu this county. He usks tho Commiseloncrs-elect of his party to meet and give the positions to ho filled by them, not to their friends or relatives, but to Republican workers who aidod tho organiza tion to olect theso very Commissioners. POWER OF ORGANIZATION. There can bo no fairer proposition. These positions bolnng to tho Republican party and that party is represented by Its organization. This year it was evident that tho organ Iza tiou was as near perfect as it could bo made, rinrmony prevailed within in the ranks, aud with that and tho furco and effect of tho power of u well aud strongly organized party, success was possible and beoamo certain. Will Mr. Allen stop to consider? Will Mr. Ken 1 7, tako in tho situation and review tho work which placed him and his oolloaguo in the load of tholr adveisarlos V Will thoy not both agrco, before it it too late, that they owo all to the Republican organization aud now it is their bounden duty to lay aside personal preferences to ay back in part to tho organi zation which mado thorn, that debt which is ono of honor and gratitudo ? Mr. Allen, as County Auditor, was activo in trying to get at tho bottom of that other disreputable deal which was mado two jeaia ago between Commissioner Reed, a Re publican, and Howes, a Democrat, by which the other Democratic Commissioner, Mr. Do- Tuik, was iguorod. Mr. Allon was loud iu his denunciation of that bargain and wo shall bo slow to beliovo that ho is about to emulate tho bad example set by his predecessors and dc orvo the sarus fato which befell Mr. Reed when ho camo out for rc-nomlnatlon, Tho reward of a good and faithful public servant is the plaudits of tho taxpayers as demon strated by a rp-nomlnatlon for work well per formed in office. Will Mr. Allen forfeit the confidence of tho taxpayers before he hae taken tho oath of ollico? It is hard to beliovo that ho will. N. A Happy Mother.

THE MEMBERS DECEIVED, They Accidentally lll.eiiti-i- That tho Ar- rlvnl of tho I'lpo Connections Wh l luyeil Itcemlic They Were Nrer Or dered. IMMIK! "I""' s mysterious IMP - HCtivItr umnnir t h o members of the com mittee on public water works which savois of the calm which usually precedes a sovoro storm aud theio is reason to beliovo that at the licit mooting of tho committee theio will bo a veiy warm timo. A meeting wss to have' been hold on Tuesduy night last, hut for somo unknown reason It wps not. Tho facts now In hand were not known to the com mittee then, or tho meeting would havo been hold, and it would havo been a lively one, too. Tho mysterious activity has been caused by a discovory that tho reasons given for the dolay in laying tho pipes in town for the public water works do not Beoni to be sus tained. Some time ago Mr. Womelsdorf, tho engineer In charge, and Contractors Quinu and Kerns wore instructed by tho water committee to order tho pipe for tho works and proceed to lay them at onco. Tho piro arrived and has been laying on tho streets for about threo weeks. During that period tho commiltco hss been constantly insisting that tha work proceed, but tho engineer and contractors offered as an excuse for tho delay that tho connections had not anivtd. At times, it his been tild, a member of tho commltteo stated to-day, that tho manufac turers wero so busy tho ordeis could not bo filled. At other times tho oxcuso has been that tho connections were shipped but got tangled up in tho Lehigh Valley railroad strike at Phillp.burg. Iu tho face of these plausible excuses tbo water commltteo was obliged to curb its im patienco and it had become prolty well ro- signed to tho inevitable when on Tuesday night a representative of the pipe manufac turers came to town to see if a payment could not bo so, ured on tho pipe furnished. Natur ally this budaess brought the lepresenutives and tho water committee together while tho matter was being talked ovor tho represcnta. lvo waB nuked what was causing tho delay in tho delivery of the pipe connections. To tho surprise of tho committee the representa tivo manifested great surprise by the questiont "Why," said he, "we have received no ordor for thom. Wo woul d only have been glad to sent them and could have done so without de lay as our supply on hand is mare than sutlic lent for what you require." Whew 1" was the souud that escaped the lips of several of the eomuiittee as they cast significant glances at each other. A member of tho committee said to-day that there will be a full investigation to decido who Is deceiving them. The reason why Arnica & Oil Liniment is so popular with tho ladies is because it not only is very hoaling and soothing hut its odor s not at all offensive. lm Have you tried McElhonuy's fried oysters? a-ia-tt (Sllt.VUDVILLl.
