J KEITER'S. OUR COUNTY SEAT LETTER. From Our Regular Pottsvllle Cor- respondent. 0LITICAL AND OTHERWISE. The Applicants for the Factory Inspector ship are Making a Spirited Fight PhllllrsWlll be the Han. Pottbville, Nov. 29. To-day Is set apart by the President of the United States as one of tbnnksglvlog for the many blessings bestowed upon ui as a nation. As Individuals there are many in this "neck of the woods" who have very little for which to give thanks, so far as the things desirable are cincerned. This Is especially true of the politicians, and the same may be said with equal truthfulness of the recently elected county ofllclals. The majority of the former are on the anxious bench wait ing for something to turn up In the shape ot a snug political birth, while the lite of the latter Is made almost unbearable by the persistent ofllco-seekere and their unlimited supply of Influential friends. The new county offlolats may with much earnestness exclaim, "3ave us from our friends I" So far as the appointments announced by the Republican Poor Directors art con cerned, they appear to give gsneral satis faction, with the p-obsble exception of those applicants who were fondly hoping to be selected for tbeie places and got left. Messrs. Day and Deltrlch undoubted ly did a wise thing in retaining Warden Ilartman and his wife la their present positions, but It is questionable whether the Democrats would have been as magnanimous In this respect. Warden Hnrtman, although handl capped by the Democratic board, has proved himself during the past year worthy official, and, if I mistake not the man, will continue to Institute reforms during the coming year, This will re down to the credit of the Republican party and its representatives upon the board. 1 haven't the least doubt but that Messrs. Day and Deltrlch will give the people a clean administration, and will second overy effort on the part of their subordinates along the line ot genuine reforms, Clerk Connor has made nn obliging and efficient official, and will retire from his present position with the kind wishes of all, Irrespective of party affiliations. For tunately be will bo succeeded by a most acceptable young man In tho person of ex- Deputy Controller George P. Walker. So far as heard from, there are now throe applicants from this county for the position of Factory Inspector, The men who have their eye on this desirable politi cal plum are Hon. D, D. Phillips, of Gor don ; Hon. John T. Shoener, of Orwigt burg, and Gen. J. K. Slgtrted, of this town, The contest between these three proml nent politicians Is a spirited but a most friendly one. W, F. Richardson, of Uahnnoy City, a prominent member ot the Grand Army, Is another Schuylkill countaln who is anxious to be a subordinates under Gen Hastiugs. The position he seeks is super intendent ot the State Arsenal. Should the former plum 'come to this county, Mr, Richardson will be left out in the cold and tho position he seekB go to some other portion ot the state. This, In the opinion ot many Republicans, will ba the case. for it is generally acknowledged that the Factory Inspectorship will come here and that Mr. Phillips will be the man selected for. the position Senator, Quay appears to have consider able to say in reference to the distribution of the offices under the Governor-elect, but an usual he Is strictly following th admonition he sent ex President Harrison "Don't talk," But, however, I have it fro li pretty high authority that thestates man from Gordon will be the man, and no one in Schuylkill county stands closer to the Junior Sen itor than Mr. Phillips The epidemic of typhoid fever at Mt, Carbon Is excitlnr much attention here, and the benevolent are doing nobly I supplying means to assist the afflicted Assistance is coming from all parti of the county, The excessive water rates Is now th absorbing question agitated among the residents ot the county seat. If there not n large reduction in rentals by th watercoinpany very soon, It looks like tho people of Pottsvllle will have occislon to vote for increase indebtedness fur the pur pose of constructing a plant to be owned and controlled by the borough. Should this be the case, the same tactics will no doubt be employed by the old company as were adopted by similar corporations in other places, namely, Injunctions, law suits aud delays. We will not make the same mistake, ho vrever, that Shenandoah did. Sufficient money for the oompletlon of the works will be asked for at first aud not make two bites at the cherry Mr. Shumway, of the Evening Chronl cle, is making a losing fight, I fear, for the postmastershtp, Ex-County Chairman Stoflregan Is down on the list for that po- sltlou, and I cannot see how Mr. Relllyl can go back on him. Between the two men, Mr. Shumway Is tho most deservlug 'and competent. Taking the view that Mr. Rellly will be of no use to the admin titration nfter this year, pressure may be brought to bear upon Postmaster General Blssell to name Air. Shumway In prefer ence to the man of the present Congress man's choice. The newspaper fraternity of the county are a unit ill favor of Mr. Shumway. A movement is on foot to erect a hospi tal at the county Boat, and the probabili ties are It will be Kuccessful, Pottsvlllo has long been In need of suoh an Institu tion.
