Special HniiAtD correspondence. 1'ottsville, May 1. With tho advent of the Commonwenlers Into tho nntionnl capital on this beautiful spring morning we must also note tho exodus of nn army of common wheelers from many nu Indus trial working camp, made Idle hy the striking miners in bituminous coal Ileitis of the west. The times, it seems, are not hard enough for the poor laboring men they must do something rash and make them harder for themselves. Of all the foolhardy movements that ever were started is the present coal miners' strike in the coke and other regions west of tbe Alleghenies. Now is the time for the an thracite miners to show good sense. Let them stick close to their picks and never go astray and they will hare steady work and increased pay. (All truth in the last sentence, and no poetry intended.) TUB LIC1N3H TIUFKIC. The court has had its attention called by a leading editorial in the Morning Dee- fiatch to the disreputable trafflc in liquor Icensei and it was therein shown how the judges arc impoied upon by designing people who angage In this traffic. This county is mtltled to a county detective at a salary of 1 1,000. Let some one be ap pointed and let him pursue as part ot his duties an inquiry into the character of the men who buy licensed places, and those who get them and sell them; also the necessity for all places applied for. The town of Shenandoah, Instead of having fifty or sixty licensed places kept by Polanders and Hungarians, would have less than twenty-live, about fifteen more than this class of foreigners are en titled to, basing the number on the citi zen population of the classes named. Is not that little word "necessity" abused in the granting of liquor licenses more than a poor dog with a tin can tied to his tail If any one asks you, tell them "Yes." OK A SILVKI5 8ALVEH. The Philadelphia Press rejoices that "Congressman Rellly, of the Schuylkill district, it appears, is not to have an un opposed renomination, as it was at ono time thought he would. He-has com petitor in Daniel Shepp." Your Quaker City contemporary is wrong. Mr. Shepp is not a candidate and Mr. Heilly will get a re-nomination and it will be offered to him on a silver salver. The gentleman came home on Friday night last, and tarried here until Monday, when he hied himself away to his duties via Philadel phia, where he called to see National Chairman Harrity on important business, The result of his interview with the latter gentleman will not crop out for a fort night or so, but your readers will know all about it when it does. Meanwhile keep your weather eyo on the public prints and note who is appointed to the mint from Schuylkill county. The best thing Mr. Reilly could do now Is to get up n caucus of all Democratic members who seek re-election this fall and decide to force an adjournment ot Congress before June 1st, and thus stop tarill tinkering which is keeping the business interests ot the country paralyzed. UEDIOCHK STATESMEN. Like the poor who are always with us, we have the usual number of chronic office seekers in the field again for minor offices. The latest announcement is that of the irresitible P. F. Bauer, of Schuylkill Haven, for Director of the Poor. It Is not any particular office that Peter wants it Is any office at nil. A list of political an nouncements In a Democratic paper with Peter's not in it is like the play of Hamlet with Hamlet left out, It would be well for the Democrats to give Peter an office for three years this time it only to give our eyes a rest. Peter is not the worst Democratic office seeker, hy o jug full yet, I would like to know why Sehuylklll Haveners have such a hankering after tho Poor House direc tory. It is certainly not because they know a trick or two beyond their fellow aspirants who reside in other places do you think 'Bauer will have a good follow ing in the convention and if the Democrat ic convention nominates a sheriff from north of the mountain his show to get on the ticket will be excellent. UUSTLINQ FOlt SUBMIT. Durincr a recent trln north of Locust Mountain I met Frank P. Langton, of date lor Sheriff. He was making ft quiet, but Impressive canvas among the sturdy farmers of the Unions and he appeared to be well pleased with his reception. Ash land has a nrettv cood representation on Court House hill now, that wont count in the Democratic convention, since Mr. Thomas Pepper wont out ot office last January. If Shenandoah's favorite son, Hon. Thomas J. Higgins, does not get too jUKewarm m me ngui Mr. Lung ton will be a possibility, nil do pending upon that horuey-hautled farmer or mngtown, Israel Appiegate. tsrnei is in tbe Held, sure enough, so tie recently told your scribe and, as he put it, "It will do no harm, anyway, if I do come out." The candidate for Jury Commissioner, 1 believe, who will receive the Democratic nom nation, has not been heard from yet. Brothers McGulnness and O'Hrien, of your town, are only parcelling out meagre and uncertain strength. They should get together and toss up for the lead with the understanding that the one who gets tail should turn tall on the office and lot the other fellow have the field to himself. For Senator in the 30th district the latest name circulated is M. T. O'Connor, Head ing ltailroad station agent at Mahanoy City. Hels announcing himself by per sonal letters to friends, some of whom say openly that Splese will beat him for the nomination and Coylecau whip him at the polls, since the family has received verv recent and wholesome recognition from their party. What If M. T's brother is postmaster r tvery man is t-upposen to be tho measurer of hi-t own ambition nnd ought not to be handicapped by his relations. Iet tbe O'Connors hoop it up audit J. J. Iteilly's friends do not lly the track you will see one ot the prettiest tussles tuut ever iook place. jn. A NOVEL CHALLENGE. The Schoium Orchettra ot Town Chal lenged to Compel. The following communication, which appeared in the Trl-Weekly Record yes terday, explains itself : Will you kindly nermlt me snare In your'vnluablo paper for n personl ex planation. At the Philadnr enunanmetit of my orchestra last week, I came in for a goodly shore of detraction from some Shenandoah people, who were aggrieved because the Schoppo orchestra was not engaged for that occasion. It would seem that thoy think it presumption for any orehostra here to put up for anything in our ora vuwn. in eso parties went to the extent of saying that my orchestra was no good, and actuolly had the kind ness to say I ought to be shot for putting up such nn orchestra or to call it, ono. I do not blame these people for saying the best they can for their orchestra, hut do expect them to bo fnlr, I have had the pleasure ot listening to tho Shoppe orches tra and call assure them that line! I l.f.n disposed to find fault 1 could hnve done so, having Tlnyed and had experience in some of the best orchestras In Kurope. I re- iraineu iron) criticism or even suggesting that Schoppo ought to bo shot for putting thorn there, although asked my opinion by a good many people. At the Phllndor ball there were nrosent persons from Pottsville, nnd members of the Third Brigade band, who expressed a very unierenr opinion m regard to the orchestra from the Shenandoah people. Now I wish to state that lam prepared to meet the Schoppo orchestra in a friendly contest In any class of music, cither classical or dance, on time, execution and tone, ten men against ten men, and the Schoppes shall have tho choice of music to be played, the orchestra that loses to pay the expenses of a competent adjudica tor, either from Reading or Philadelphia; or I myself will contest singly the leader or any man they may choose from amongst them, on tho same conditions mentioned ror the orchestra. I am Rorrv tosnenksonlnlnlv. but T feel It necessary to resent imputations agnlnst my own ability or the ability of the or chestra I have the honor to lead. I make my living by this profession, nnd do not throw it in as a side issue to some other regular calling. These people who im ogino thoy know it nil should go to the large cities or to Europe, where competi tion Is keener nnd thev would lenrn a les son. Yours respectfully, J-'ISOF. jonN JONES.
