REPUBLICANS HOPEFUL I
Some Very SenilMo Advice Embodied Id
Terse Paragraph Uow the Hopeful
Ones Can Win and Uow They May Jflu
a Golden Opportunity.
Special Herald correspondence. - '
POTTSVILLE, April 14.
"Vhat would you rather do than go
fishing f" will for awhile be the question
most of ten propounded among the devotes
of Izaak Walton's popular sport, but
throwfug a fly for speckled trout is not In
it with angling for nominations and poli
eal preferment now at its hejghtlf-nll
over this county and- especially in the
Legislative districts. Candidates are
mora numerous among Republicans than
Democrats this year, owing to the .pre
vailing belief that the Democratic party
bus. been disrupted unto death and (hat
there is nothing to prevent a repetition of
tho successes of last fall and spring,if..tto
very bad breaks are mude by the. various
nominating contentions.
BLUNDEIlS.rOSSIBLE AND PHOIIABLB. ,
Just in the same degree that it is easierlto
pull down than build up, so it is easier to
make poor selections of candidates than
good oncs.and this year, when every out
look Is1 so favorable to Republican victory
there will be a whole Coxey army of
mediocre men clamoring nt tnd conven
tion doors for an entrance, some of whom
may force themselves, or be forced, on
one or other of the tickets to bo named.
Metaphorically speaking, many of these
unworthles aro pollticul tramps who
should be given a wide berth by the con
vention magnates, but it is too often the
rule that too-designing politicians control
our nominations and tho Hagson Tatters
element of both parties are preferred to
the solid citizens who would grace and do
honor to the offices to be filled. Let the
dear people have their say and tickets
will be graced by good men and true, who
do not make office-seeking a profession
and in whoso hands the trusts reposed
would be safe.
One possible blunder Republicans can
make this year is In not nominating their
strongest man for Congress against Mr.
Itellly, who is not so easily defeated as
some of our wiseacres' would have us
believe. Mr. Itellly has not been in Con
gress all these years for nothing that is
it is not possible that so shrewd a politic
ian ns he has not done much to make his
position invulnerable during all his Con
gressional life and particularly recently.
That he has a certain following among
the Republicans is too well known to
admit of argument and It will require
the party of protection to put its best
man to the front this time and then to ao
in to win with all Its might in order to
drive Mr. Itellly from his entreached posi
tion. Yes, it is possl ble and probable that
a blunder may be made In naming a can
didate to ueieat Mr. ueiuy tms lall. .Now
mark my words.
"BE NOT WEAItr OF WELL DOING,"
Should be the watchword of Hocubll-
cans this year and forever. Without dis
paraging any others who were chosen last
year to important positions, it must be
agreed that in the nomination and elec
tion of such a man as Commissioner
Frank Reutz the Republican party did
itself honor. He is regarded bv the multi
tude, including your humble scribe, as
the broadest-guaged man In office on the
hill. He has sense, courage and great
executive ability, and I only wish 1 could
inuite me same trutns aoout ail ine
others to whom have been entrusted im
portant county business. There nre too
uiauy in omce wno tone tneir inspiration
and counsel from broken down and
tricky politicians. Do not let these
blunders be repeated this yeur if they can
be avoided and there is no doubt they can.
The Republican party has another inning
this year, but it can easily be bowled out
by disregarding the injunction which
sub-heads this paragraph.
There aro many good men In both polit
ical parties who would accept office if
they are groomed properly and by the
right people. They will not seek office
for the sake ol having it, but they would
ncceptjit If nn effort, earnest aud honest, la
made to bring them out. Try it on once
and una out.
CANDIDATES NEW AND OLD.
For instance what is the matter with
Citizen Archie B. Lamb, of bheuandoah,
for Jurv Commissioner t Do not belttlo
the importance ot the position because I
do not name Mr, Lanibiu.connectionwith
a better navim? office. I want to empha
size, right bere, the fact that there Is no
county office in the gift ot the people so
Important to the people and which makes
a better stepping stone to iuture preier
ment than tills verv office of Jury Com
mlssloner. Any lawyer, or other court
officer or habitue of the Temple of Justice
at the county seat, can tell you ot the
Sreat need of good men in the office of
ury Commissioner to keep bad men out
of the Jury wheel. Both parties ought to
"sit on" any candidate for Jury Commis
sioner wno seeks ine omce. oucu a per
.nn nnlv wnntn It for the salarv that Is In
it and to fill the jury wheel with the
names 01 nis irienas, no matter uow in
enmnetent thev mav be.
I regard Mr. G. C. Schrink, of this
borough, who has made bis mark as a
School Director and who Is an all-around
public spirited citizen, as the most popular
candidate tor ine legislature in ine
Fourth district. It the Mepubllcau dis
trict convention falls to nominate Mr.
Schrink It will make a tfrent mistake and
possibly lose one of three members to be
sent to Hnrrlsbtirg next winter. Ills Re
publicanism borders on idolatry for party
men nnd measures and yet bo is never
offensive to the opposition and will receive
me votes ot many Hundreds ot liberal
minded Democrats. Mr. Scbrlnk's onuor
tuulty Is this year and his friends should
not permit any other candidate's aspira
tion to bo boomed ahead of that of the
enterprising merchant of the South East
ward.
Michael Moser, of Pottsville. Is, or will
be, a itepuuucan candidate lor bherlir.
He will cross swords with Alex. Scott for
the ownership of the most delegates from
all sections.
John II. Cnntwell, ot Shenandoah, is
another whose name is again seen on a
card for Sheriff, subject to Democratic
rules. He will enter the list against
Tommy Hlggtns and try to capture some
of the lntters promised delegates In tho
five wards of your town and the groat
Mahanoy valley.
It was Mr. Daniel Shepp's prerogative
to decline to run for office, as was pre
dicted he would do in my letter which
named him first, but it was n dictatorial
step ho took in naming Frank P. Splese,
of Tamaqua.as his legatee. The Democrats
ot the 30th district have to name a Sen
ator, not Mr. Shepp, and I would not be
surprised If Mr. John J. Itellly, of Shen
nndonh,, would be the man who would con
test against Hon. John J, Coyle for the
offic6. Mr. Rcllly, I happen to know,
only td-dny consented to stand as a can
didate and that only after much per
aunsiou.by very close friends. lie will nt
once go into training for the mill and
you shall hear more of him hereafter.
How pleased the Pottsville friends of
D. II. J.lewellyn, of Shenaudoah, over
the prospect of hU candidacy for Poor
Director, the render may well Imagine.
Dave was reared here and if he gets on
the Republican ticket, ns I think he will.
his old homo will roll up n rousing maj
jority. a uetter mon man uavld 11.
Llewellyn could not be named for such a
rosDonsible nlace.
Aud now Hon. Kllaa Davis steps Into
ine arena for buerllt Truly the Repub
lican county convention will have plenty
of good material to choose from for this
office with Scott. Glick and Davis in the
field already and the whole southern end
to hear from. And that body will need
to name Us fastest runner if Israel Annie-
gate wins the Democratic nomination.
No snail can get near Israel.

HO INQUESTS ON SUICIDES.
If They Are
Held No
Fees Can bo
Collected.
Juflgo McClean, of Gettysburg, has
handed down an opinion In the matter of
a coroners Inquest, that will be of more
or less lnjorest to county officials all over
the state It lias always been the custom
in Adapt county for the Commissioners
to pay tbe cost In Inquests over the bodies
of suicides; butrteeutly, when a justice
of the peace, In Gettysburg, presented his
oiu to me court air npprovai lor an in
quest on WllKwn Wttmore, who had
hung himself, the attorney for the County
Commissioners objected and filed excep
tions. The court sustained the objections
and its ruling Bays:
As our Supreme Court has declared that
an object of an Inquest Is to Beek informa
tion and obAain und secure evidence In
case of death by violence or other undue
means wmcn must oe understood to reier
to unlawful a at a done bv another Demon
and not to Include the cause of suicide,
the Justice acted In entire irood faith iu
doing what from his knowledge of the
law he bellevedto beright.btit he suffered
the risk of exceptions such as havo been
filed In this case and If the careful inves
tigations of tho legal question which had
not before been presented to the court,
when a coroner or a justice at. his absence,
is called upon to view a dead body he
should make some reasonable inquiry Into
tne circumstances or the death oelore
proceeding to summon a Jury and hold
tbe inquest. When tbe surrounding facts
do not show the death to be the result of
unlawful acts done by another or of
criminal necllKence of another, there is no
necessity ior an inquest, if or the prelim
inary inquiries, the law has provided no
compensation and they must be taken
witnout any.

Additional Action on the Vac
cination Question.
THE LAW TO BE ENFORCED
An ihlbltlon of a Vaccination Mark Is
Not Ijulllclent Certificates Must be
qillriHl by the Kcliool Hoard In All Caiei
In Iteeard to Scholar.
The School Board and the vaccination
regulations absorbed the most of the at
tentlon ot the Hoard of Health last night.
The board got the impression that the
other board was a little too liberal in its
construction ot the regulations concern
ing vaccination, and it decided before ad
journment that the regulations must be
observed nnd if people are Inconvenienced
tne biatne must rest with the school
Directors, who deviated from the rule.
The members present were .Messrs.
Spalding, Mnlono, Miles nnd McIInle. Mr.
m. i: vvuuaKer, superintendent oi tne
public schools, was also in attendance.
He said he had learned through the
HEltALD that tho Hoard of Health would
hn.ve a discussion over the School Hoard's
aciou on tbe vaccination question and ho
was present to be heard in the board's be-
iiaiisiiouiu any action lie taken.
Mr. Miles said that ho did not agree
with the School Hoard's decision Hint the
exhibition of n scar is a compliance with
ine law on vaccination, nnu lie tuouirtit
the ordinance requiring a certificate that
vaccination nas been neriormed witmn
seven years should be adhered to. Messrs.
Aicllale and Ainlouo agreed with Mr.
Miles.
Mr. Whltaker said that of the 2.400
scholars attending the schools fully ten to
twelve nunured nre under ten venrs or
nee. and that is an indication tbnt their
vaccinations cannot, uo ot long standing.
Ho also said that many children have
been vaccinated within tbe nnst seven
years, but the operations may bnvo been
performed in foreign countries, on board
ships, or in quarantine, and certificates
from the nhyticiaus who made the vacci
nations cannot be secured.
On tho latter point the board decided
that n certificate from tho parents would
bo sufficient.
Mr. Whitaker said he didn't wish tho
public to get the impression that the
School Hoard and Hoard of Health were
not.ln co-operation, yet he had no apology
to inake, as no considered mat under all
the circumstances the actions of tbe
School Hoard were wise.
In answer to a remark bv Mr. Whltaker
that a strict enforcement of the law was
not necessarv In the nbsence of nn em
demlc, Mr. Malone said that small pox
is not an hour's rldo from Shenandoah.
There nre three cases lug Shamoklu mid
the people of this town cannot be too
cautious.
After Mr. Whltakerwlthdrewthe board
Rave tbe subject additional attention nnd
then passed a resolution instructing tho
secretary ot the School Board thnt that
board shall be coverned by section 45 of
the rnles nnd regulations, which provides
mat any punll wno has nut been vacci
nated within seven years shall not be al
lowed to attend the public schools.
The board also decided that it does not
approve the acceptance ot vaccinations

NOW FOB THE TROUT.
T'i9 StatonrortheNpickUd Uetatl.ali at
Ilsnd.
On Monday, or more truthfully speak
ing, on Sunday, the trout season will be
open, nnd If you know where they can b
found tho law will not Interfere with your
angling so long as you use only rod, hook
and line nnd keep no fish under 5 Inches
in length. Ot course, you must bo positive
about the 5 Inches. If you havo a "bad
oye" for distance a good plan would be to
make two parallel marks on the top of
your basket just five Inches apart and
allow no fish to go Into It which will not
cover one mark with his head and the
other with his tail and both at the same
time, un Sunday certainly no true angler
will cast his line, but nn Mmiilnv null., n
rush to the streams will be made nnd he
wno readies the chosen spotntthctenrllest
hour will no doubt show the best results
upon returning home In tbe evening. But,
when we think of it, there will be very
little fish killed oh Monday for the molt
ing of the snow will cause n little torrent
In the trout creeks and no person will be
able to wade them or iu any manner
satisfactorily fish In them. There will be
very littlo fish caught on opening day. As
n bait for trout the red striped earth
worms aro the most alluring. They form
a more attractive object In the water
than tho black ones when placed loosely
upon tho hook, but some anglers prefer
the totlfzll black nnns for ttm ritnann timt.
they are not so easily pulled from the
hook by tho lish.
