GRATITUDE DITTOED I The Wilson Illll Killed Out of the Question, So Tar as the ltepuhllcan Success In Schuylkill County Lust Vnll Was Con cernedOther Claims llevlewed, Hpeclal IlKnALI) correspondence, PotthVILLU, April 18. Like business men, pollttclnns have their resting times. On this glorious an niversary day of the First Defenders, when everything benrs a military appcar nnce, there is little to be henrd nbout the wiles and workings of oflico seekers nnd their managers. "We have our dull days, too," say the latter and it is like pulling wisdom teeth with a blacksmith's pincers to pet a thought or whisper out ot tho fellows who pose as leaders and party manipulators. Yet there Is always some thing or other which thrusts its head out of the shell like unto the turtle and re minds one that underneath n placid ex terior exists a Hying, breathing thing. RETROSPECTIVELY REMINISCENT. The Morning Despatch, our nw daily newspaper, which by the way had better make the earliest trains with Its bundles if it wants to deserve the title of a morn ing newspaper, or change its publication place to Shenandoah, Ashland or Alahu noy City, "recognizes the skill and vigor with which the campaign in the county last fall was managed by" the Hopubll enn chairman and his faithful lieuten ants, but BUggessthat the Wilson bill and its creator "were the most important factors in tho contest nnd that they be nccorded the credit that is theirs." Is that so ? Can it he possible that tho honors which were so easy fast fall In enrrjing such Democratio strongholds as Schuylkill and Northumberland coun ties are susceptible of division ? I am inclined to remember that "tho chairman and his faithful lieutenants" were alive and kicking and tho Wilson bill only lived in embryo. "Render unto Cawnr," &c. Now if Air. S. A. Losch will em phasize his power to turn Democratic tides into Republican ports this yenr, he will be entitled to the individual credit nnd glory that his Warwicklaiidlplonincy deserves and return to Congressional halls and honors the best tail 11' debater his party has, Hon. C. N. llrumm ; but lie will have to sacrillco himself on tho altar of public necessity mid protection needs and find out if "Uarkis" Shoener Is will ing to yield his firm hold on the rank mid lile of his party. No, the Wilson bill nnd its projector should not bu mentioned in the same brenthwith Losch, who, with nil respect for his chairman and co-lieutennnt, is alone entitled to the credit of electing Republicans to county ollice Inst fall and Hon. Galusha A. Grow last spring, with this reservation that Prothouotnry Deegan and Controller Severn may thank their Democratic friends for making a special light for them, and that they would have been elected without Losch. And Treasurer Dechert mny take the fluttering unction to his soul that his election is solely due to his own courage ous tactics. Mr. Deegan, wo believe, has already thanked these friends, in a measure, by the nppointment of Dell Brennun to a clerkship. Ho also remem bers his friends by calling on them occa sionally, while Mr. Severn is reserving all his thanks until the timo comes when Commander Losch will permit him to recognize others beside himself as factors in the Controller's election. The question is often nsked, "is It pos sible tor tho Democratic party in this county to ever become the ruling power it was in days of old t" Now for nn answer to this the reader and thinker has only to take into mature rellection my remarks of last Saturday on the great necessity of tho Republican conventions to place in nomination good people, dis regarding the dictations of professional politicians and tricksters. If they do not do this and the opposition should properly tnke advantage of tho mistakes mado ft will readily be seen how easy it will be for the Democrats to spike tho enemy's guns mid occupy the fortress where they may so entrench themselves ns to becomo impregnable for years to come. There is nothing sure but death and taxes; politics are as uncertain as n birth. You nover know tho sc x until It is demonstrated to you. POINTS. Shenandoah will continue to bo the battle ground in county campaigns as long as its people take such an absorbing interest in the contests. This year will be no exception. Thomas J. Higgius has not relaxed his efforts to gain the ascendancy for the Democratic nomination for Sheriff and he has really become more norvy by the entry into the Held of new candidates. Mr. Biggins' work on the appropriations committee of the House in 1881 and 1888 made for 1dm a reputation which few men from this county can boast of. It. If. Koch, Ksq., hns not decided to run for Congress yet. The probability is that his voice will only be heard in cam paign speeches and that he will shout for some one else and not ltlchurd, "Do you ever think?" is a question often propounded by Counsellor Pomeroy of your town, and he intends by the question to remind evetyoue who thinks thatuoth lug was ever gained in tho end by the av erage citizen who seeks fame and fortune through polities. So if you nre seeking nothing, dear reader, jump into the politi cal arena. Tain aqua is very quiet theso days, Probably Mr. Allen nnd his friends, who have every reason to be proud of their ro cent victories, have put a quietus on the political aspirations ot that usually am bitious community.

How the Dnrlij eooney I.lcen Contest Wsut I, ut Dtclilnl. Perhaps the most stubborn fight ever mado in our courts over n license trnnsfcr was that ono just decided by tho court at Pottsvlllo granting to P. C. Darby, of Mlnersville, a license for tho plnco re. cently occupied by William J. Cooney, No. 112 South Centre street, Pottsvllle. John P. Cooney, of the Academy restaur ant, wns nn npplicnnt for the fame place and had prepared himself by transferring his Academy llcenso to his brother, Michael, nnd securing from William n paper which was intended to bo n bill of sale of the personal property in tho place in dispute. Joseph Schonder, who had a judgment of about BOO against William Cooney, had caused an execution to issue nnd the goods were sold by tho sheriff and bought by Schonder's nttorney for Schonder. This was nil subsequent to the sale of the placo to P. O. Darby by Schonder's attorney, acting under au thority of his client, who had nn ngree ment with William J. Cooney lo sell the place for the best price obtainable, which wusJS.10. After this salo was consum mated Schonder by lcttcr.nflidav'.t and ver bally indorsed the nctionof his nttorney but subsequently forgot himself so far as to tako tho witness stand and repudiate tho bargain. His attorney hnd fortunately preserved Schonder's letters and afll davit and wdicu theso were shown to tho court the nttorney was vindicated and Darby's right to tho placo was established. Yet tho court proporly withheld Its decision until Mr. Darby secured possession of the premises which he had no trouble in doing when tho agents became satisfied that the Minersville man would get tho licence. During this litigation, Air. Schonder, to save tho money he had alrendy ad vanced to help William J. Cooney dis charge n debt to his hrother John, who was pushing him by legal process, put up more good niouoy for rent to keep tho landlord off, nnd yet by his chango of front from his bargain with Mr. Darby to a coalition with the other side through the double-dealing of alleged friends he becomes the heaviest loser in the transaction.

A DASTARDLY ATTEMPT In Seeking Revenue, Upon Ills Former Itonrdliic; Mistress tho Mali Would Kill t Innocent I'enplo ly llluwlug Up the House Successful Watching, Ou tho night of December 15th, last, tho residents of West Coal street were startled from their slumbers by tho ro port of nn explosion, followed by the screams of women nnd men. An Investi gation showed thnt tho explosion hnd been cntised by n quantity of powder placed under a boarding house on Coal street kept by Airs. Alaggio Gostitus. The force of tho exnloslon wrecked a good part of the foundation wall and ripped off several weather boards ou one side of the house. Some pieces of rags caught flro at the same timo and a blaze started. 1-or nearly n month the cnuso and mo tive of tho explosion remained n mystery, but after considerable very clever detec tive work Special Olllcer Alexis gleaned suiltcleiit evidence to warrant the arrest of one John Bronzn, who had been one of Airs. Gostitus' boarders nnd who hnd a disagreement witli her. Kvidenco was collected to show that Dronza had de clared he would blow up tho house and kill the woman. The suspected mnn nccidetitly learned that he was to be arrested and illsap- E eared last January. Alexis followed im to Alahnnor Plnne nnd Gilherton, and subsequently to Sliver Hrook, but at the latter place tho fugitive disappeared as If ho had been swallowed up by the earth and for nearly three months his whereabouts remained a mystery. Shortly after the disappearance Alexis learned that Hronza had $100 on deposit with John J. Uobbln, tho N. AInlu street merchant, and he concluded to watch It. Tho clue proved a good one. This morn ing Hronza walked into ltobbiu's store to claim his money nnd as he did so Alexis placed him under nrrest. The dynamiter was at llrst inclined tn show light, but a little determination on ino pnrt or tne olllcer lind its effect and the prisoner walked quietly to Justice Williams' office. Ho refused to make a statement further than deny his guilt and in default of $500 bail was committed to the lockup to await a hearing of the evidence against him nt six o'clock this evening.
