Special Hkkald correspondence. Potts ville, Feb. 10. Political wire pulllug Is still Indulged In by some of the bosses. If they cannot get a nomination for thcmsolvcs they nurse one for somebody else. A certain gentleman who Is soaring high, and wants to go hlghor, finding his chances slim, has now sprung another new candidato for Congress, hoping to catch gudgeons. I need not mention names, as they are easily guessed, Hon. John T. Siiocncr comes (o town quite frequently now and gets in touch with many people from all over tho county. Ho informs rae that ho has met nothing hut encourage- inent-thns far and in lact many or tuo leading and most influential politicians tell him he Is the only real candidate In the new. It is my opinion that Mr. Shoener will secure the nomination wilhout any trouble, as I know ho has eocure promieos of support from almost every loading Republican worker In tho county. Without discounting any othor Iioiublican seeking tbo office, I think he is a clean cut candidate, a favorite with the work- ingmen and the business people The Assembly fight is beginning to get real warm and an active canvass Is being made by nearly all the candidates. Tho latest Potts- vlliiau mentioned lor tms oince is council man Mertz. Ex-Postmaster Culvor, of Port. Carbon, Is sanguine ot making the nomina tion. W. E. Herring, of Palo Alto, has mado wonderful progress In his canvass and feels coufident of victory. Joel McDonnell, of the same place, has not done much in this dircc tion. lie Is depending a great deal on bis friends In the district, and lion. Rameov Potts is attending strictly to busluesi, but occasionally finds time to look after his political fences. Tho candidates for Sheriff are not lying low by a good tliot. They art) all working like beavers, Hon Elias Davis can bo met everywhere. Ho docs not seem to havo tho slightest apprehension of deleat. Elias has the workiugmcu with him and that amounts to a good deal, lie mado a good legislator In their Interest and its not reasonable to sup two they will go back on htm. I picked up a paper the othor day and was very much interested In reading an arttclo written ty "jacK McCarthy, or the Hassle ton Sentinel. I think it will bearro publics tion. He says: "The Controller of Schuylkill county un dertakea to control everything In tho count? Ho hits done what no othor public official lias bad tlio hardihood to do award the con tract for printing the ballots to an out of tho con my print shop. Our Luzerne county controller will heroatter advertise lor pro posals for advertising and printing and give everything out to tho lowest bidder. At leaet ho says he will, but time may change all that, lhero would be a decided gain in oneway if lie would. In county attain news papers would not find it to their advantago to work day and night for candidates for nothing hut the hope of patronage. The newspapers would then do as tho saloon keeper doesinako the candidato pay as he goes. Wo never hear of a ealoonkeepor be ing "hung up" by a candidate, but we know oi many nowspapers mat carry many old debts on their books. If there "isn't any thing in it" for the average newspaper, or if advertising and printing is ta be brought clown to llgnres that business men mlgbt pay, wo expect an era ot Independent thought that was not bargained for by the mon who designed ine Controller's joo, but willed would be a benefit arising out of a mistake" Tho ballots for the election next week are hero and tho bill amounts to but $1,652 (id. No sane person in the county who pays taxes will condemn either the Controller, or County Cotuuifwloners, in aavlng nearly YJ.WV on tho original bid by tho syndicate, or over S6.000 on tho Pottaville riug bid, which wai only a joko, yon know. The enormity of tho attempt mode by the Pottsvllle newspapers to gouge the 18,000 out of the county olllcials is emphasized by a review or the County Coiainimiontrs' annual statement, which shows that all tho priultng for the county In 1B93, including all election work of every deoripi(on, cost ouly wSti 05.

Editor Hekald: I read iu your valua hie paper yesterday a coirpondence In which was embr iced a question by the city people as to why it is that while food and clothing havo fallen in price so heavily lu rcoent years, the coal companies end coal dealers are exacting such unreasonable fignrce for coal. 1 can say that it ie not tbo money paid to the miners that keeps up the prices, and it can hardly be the fault of the coal dealers Competition amoug therufeclves will cut their prices down to the bare profits oi Dueineee, anu as long as aonnuaut capital is seeking investment, the continuation of any aort of trade monopoly or "combine" is ouly possible when the price, with tho advantages of accumulated experience and good will, is kept so low as to givo a bare working profit. Otherwise, outside capital comes in to compete. a monopoly or prouuets or jauor must eitner fight the world or combine with the wjrld. Iu a civilized community there can bo no per manent monopolies, except those created by government control. A patent or coyyrigiit is a monopoly directly and designedly pro tected by such control.

Tho ohloroform burglars who have held sway at Ashland and other plaees down the valley have commenoed operations in this town. They visiled tho house of Frederick Reese, the mine foreman, en West 1'op'ar street, early yesterday and got away with a silver watch. They hadn't time to gt any thing else beeeueethey were frightened away. So far as known there were three men In the gang. They entered tho house by forcing enen a rear window.

The three jieople were awakened at 3 o'clock yeeterday morning by hearing something fall on the first floor.

As Mr. Ueeee awoke he called out "Who's there f" He repeated the Inqulr) and then heard whlsperjn; on the stairway. Again he a-kod "wIio'b there?" and then he heard a scrambling on the Btairway. Mr. Reese jumpod out of bed, seized a revolver and rushed down tho atrirway after tlio retreating figures, which ran thicugh iheroouif, out the front door and disappeared in the darkness. Mr Recee did not fire after them. He suy- theto woro two men and when he got to the lead of the stairway they were scrambling at tho bottom, A lari.6 SBOheo so.ikod with chloroform was found on Mr. Keeee'o pillow aud some straw, fomc partly burned and some covered with a peculiar smelling liquid, was found on thodlnlng room Uhlo The latter is sup pescd to havo emitted the bine flames the women say thoy taw Iu the stairway.

It was subsequently discovered that the object which fell and aroused the family was a stovo lifter. There was nothing to indicate that the burglars had entered the women's room although the door was open.

Ho said in an interview: "In the first place, the men were iu the very eenter of tho fall, and their chances of escape were very remote; and If they were In an open place we would have known it long ago. U'e could havo beard them. We have shouted, whistled and made all sorts of noises, which certainly would have reached the men were, they alive, bat there has been no response HUH.
