Pottsville, April IT. Tho award of the contract for tho county printing supplies to an Allentown company lias again stirred up tho printers of this place, but what they say about this has no more effect than water has upon a duck's back Tho people who aro now crying have none but themselves to blame, for they killed tho goose that laid the golden egg when they made the bold 8,000 stroke last February and will find it difficult to win people over to their way of tklnklntr. henrd n man say to-day, "It is too bad to see work of this kind, which can bo dono sotisiocioruy in tue county, go outside, but who, is to blame for it r" With 'the appearance of the Morning Despatch we now have four dally papers, two issued in the morning and two at night. Whether there is room for the new candidate for public favor is to be determined later. The newspaper busi ness, nt best, is an expensivo one and the close competition on job work of these days makes the financial road of jour nalists a harder one. I am informed hnt the expense of running a daily paper here is from $175 to J225 per week, independent of the cost attending the job printing de partment, and on this basis anyone can readily imociuo the nmount of patronage that is required to make a daily paper Eay. I am inclined to think thnt, unless usiuess brightens up in the near future and more merchants aro converted to the use of printers ink, one or more of our papers will And it hard to keep afloat. The young Republicans hero are active and up to the times. I have had occasion to mingle with a number of them Inte'y and hnvo found nil ready for tho next fray. The recent banquet in memory of Henry Clay demonstrated thnt there is some substantial young Republican material here and that it is steadily gain ing a good foothold. Tho next election will bring out a showing that will open the eyes of tho unterrilled. I have reached the conclusion thnt If tho Republican leaders wish to escape annihilation at the next convention they should abandon some of their preferences. Fair play and an honest count will be demanded this tlmo and if it is not forth coming something will drop. The Re publicans are determined thnt tho county shall be wrested from the Democrats this time and thev reallzo that to accomplish this there must bo no Heller seances or mysterious wire-pulling. Men of strength and merit must bo selected as tho stand ard bearers for next fall and old stagers must bow to the Inevitable fall back and into line with tho warriors. The congressional trio remains Brumm, Shoener and Losch, and it Is not likely thnt a fourth candidnte will be an nounced. I hoard tho other evening that somebody had made a suggestion in the direction of harmony. It was that the three candidates get together and decide to take the result of tho convention like men and turn in lor tho ticket with enthu siasm whether victory or defeat perches upon the banner of either. This sug gestion was made to draw particular at tention to tno inct that If the next Con gressman is to be a Republican he must have the united party nt his back. The idea Is all right so far os the notice is concerned, but I do not think it is Drncticahlo. While Brumm seems to have a good lead in the race Shoener Is by no means out of it and he has tho support of a largo number of people who would look upon tho confer ence with suspicion. They are for Shoener and will go to the convention for him. If Brumm proves too stronir thev will then give him their support, but not before men. Another thing, a conterence with Losch, who is really only n nightmare In thernce. would not meet with the nn- nroval of the friends of either Brumm or Shoener. Tho fight for tho Legislature Is every body's light. The candidates aro num erous ami the likely men are mnnv. As to the Sheriff, the light has settled down to a three-cornered one with Davis, Scott anil Click os the candidates. Davis appears to bo In the lead with Scott a good second.

A llntlnru Man's Few ITordi In llegard to Memorial Ihjt. Editoh HEHALDi Owing to the close proximity of Decoration Day, I would like to mako a suggestion. I nm not one of thoso who stood between our country nnd those who would hnvo destroyed it, who fought and bled that tho nation might live, that made this ono of tho grnndest countries on tho face of the cartji, but I am ono of thoso who havo prospered and been benefited by their de votion to our country, and I am hcarttlv In favor of our business men taking holil of this matter, and helping tho veterans to mnke tho day, as It ought to be, a dis tinctly national Memorial Day, and to that end I would suggest thnt the busi ness mon hnvo n meeting, appoint a com mittee to assist tho old boys In nny nnd nil ways that presents Itself. Lot some others have their say on tho subject, why not say something yourself, Mr. Editor, do you think the oid veterans would ob ject, or think wo wero meddling f Business Man. Shenandoah, April 17, 1M1. Tho suggestion of "Business Mnu" Is a most excellent one, nnd if carried out, Memorial Day for IS!) I could ho made an event lone to lie remembered by the citi zens of Shenandoah and vicinity. The men who fought to preserve tho Union nre entitled to the grntitudoof the people, and surely there could bo no moro fitting uuchiiuu iu express tunc gratituue tnnn on tho day when tho veterans gather to pay me inst triuuto oi respect to their gallant nnd nntriotic dead.

During tho services there were eloquent sermons by Rev. II. F. O'Reilly, pastor of the church, Father Kane, tho curate, and Fathers Brady and Mc Gettigon.

Riddle, one of the surgeons of the store ito'pitni at AslUnml, l'l., was seen last night at tho Lafayette. "The hospi tal at Ashland," said ho, "is maintained wholly by tho state for those injured in the anthracite coal in'iies about Ashland. As you know, anthracite coal mining is tho most perilous occupation known, nnd on account of this we have, perhnps, the largest number of purely sur gical cases of any hospital in the country. Wo average ninety cases n day, all of which nre odmitted free of cha.-ge. We maintain the patients for less than nny hospital of the like nature in the state, the money being expended wholly for thoto injured in the mines. When he enters a mtno in the morning no man knows whether he will come out alive or dead. as you know thnt not only must every man iuuk ma lur iiiiueii, nut no must look out for others, and trust to them to look ort for him. One man's accident Is ant to cause the death nt n Immlreil others. This is tho reason the mortality Is so great. The hospital is just now nbout tochnngo to female nurses altogether. For myself I think thnt where so many nnd so seriously surglcnl cases come in every day it is rather an experiment." A Dellghteil Audience. The production of "The Fast Mnll" nt. Ferguson's theatro last nluht was wit nessed by a good-sized audience nnd gave excellent satisfaction. As with all of Lincoln J. Carters nlnvs. "Tho Fast Moil" abounds In renlistic,scenio and stage effects and great attention is given to the smallest detail. The steamboat explosion and railroad scenes ore particularly elec tive and the nudienco was exceedingly en thusiastic over them. The company is a good one and tho jdoi of the ploy very in teresting.
