SEEKING THE FAT PLUMS
Democrats Working Hard to Control
the Borough Council to Make the
Water Works Appointments.
Considerable spirit U being Injected into
ubllc affairs of the borough by the
ui)fejvch of the spring election, and from
uow until the close of election day events
of unusual Interest may b'i looked for.
The contest over the elect.on of Council
men in the respective wards is being en.
livened by the claims of candidates lor
the Councllmanlc appointment of
superintendent of public water works,
nd in at least two of the wards
.ue Democrats seem to bend 'all their
energies to the promotion of the claims
of their respective favorites. As predicted
by the Herald when the public water
works movement was first put on foot,
appointments to positions on the works
are becoming the bones of contention in
the spring election. This spring we find
three Democrats Timothy Miles, Oscar
Betteridge and Jame&Bell in the field, and
the most Important Issue In the campaign
to them and their friends quite naturally
is the election of. a Democratic majority
in Council that will appoint a Democratic
superintendent of the public water works.'
Another issue Is the appointment of an
engineer of the works. The man now in
cnarge is one who was placed there by
recommendation of the Jeanesville com
pany that put in the pumping plant. He
formerly employed on the Alalia-
noy City works and on account of
his experience was retained to keep the
pumps und engines in working order until
the weather breaks iu the Spring. How
far this man's experience will be con
sidered after that time remains to be
There are a number of men pulling
political wires to fill his shoes, and there
is little doubt that he will have a successor
utter the new Borough Council meets and
organizes. It is pretty well understood that
superintendent nud engineer of the
works will be elected at the same time
that the supervisor, town clerk und police
are selected. This will make the organ!
zatlon more than usually interesting this
spring.
The present Council is desirous of wind
ing up all the water works affairs that It
can before the new Council takes the reins
of the government In hand. The
water committee met last night and
considered disputed bills rendered by
contractors who performed work on
the public water works, and will present
them with their recommendations at a
special meeting of the Borough Council
to be held this evening. The meeting
promises to be a lively one. It is said the
differences of opinion on some bills are so
wide that there is no hope of a compromise.
Should, the predictions be fulfilled a num
ber of suits may be looked for.
Cars Still Stopped.
The Schuylkill Traction Company is
not running Its cars through town yet,
Chief Burgess Burns is enforcing the
Borough Council's order relative to the
cleaning of the tracks and carting away
of the snow, and until the order is fully
compiled with no cars will ba allowed to
run to the Main street terminus. The
Burgess had a conference with Manager
Ash and in pursuance of an
agreement made by the latter gentle
man a fiat car and gang of men were
sent to town yesterday and commenced
loading and-hauling away the snow that
had been shoveled from the Coal street
track. Yesterday the cars were run to
the west end of Coal street and travelers
were obliged to walk to and from that
point. The Lakeside Electric Hallway
Company's cars are running as far as the
corner of Centre and White streets, but
will probably run to the Main street
terminus to-night. This company loaded
the snow from the streets on to a big
truck sleigh and hauled it away. The
fall of snow early this morning did not
Interfere In anyway with the operation of
the lines.

The post office officials announce that
the new rates for foreign postage and
registry has gone into effect. The rate on
letters to all parts of the world except
Canada and Mexico is now five centB per

Wishing for a half holiday early last
week the scholars In one of the schools at
Hlngto wn took advantage ot the teacher's
absence from the room and opened nil the
windows and packed the thermometer In
n pall of ice. When the ;eicher returned
to the room everything was In order, but
the scholars complained of the bitterly
cold weather. Glancing at the ther
mometer, which had frozen down to 15
decrees above zero, the teacher Immedl
tely dismissed the pupils for the day.
Of all employed men of whom we have
knowledge there are none who havo a
harder time ot It than the motorraen on
the trolley cars. They are so exposed to
wind, snow and rain that scarcely any
portion of their bodies is protected, nnd
when moving against wind and storm as
they have been compelled to do during
the late Intensely inclement weather, the
wonder is that some of them did not
perish. Notwithstanding this terrible
exposure tney are compelled to keep a
constant sharp lookout for obstacles In
their way, for passengers who desire to
get aboard the car, for persons who are in
danger of being run over, for wagons and
other vehicles ahead of them on the
tracks, and In addition pay attention to
the conductor's signals for stopping and
starting. It is a cold, comfortless calling,
laden with heavy responsibility, and
naturally has the sympathy of all kind
hearted people, in fact ot everybodr.
Their narrow quarters should be vest!
buled.
Slelgbers say tbe sleighing was never
finer. It Is difficult to understand how it
could well be any better. Those who love
that kind of outdoor recreation and
nearly all young people, especially the
ladles, do have had fine opportunities for
Indulgence. Tbe piercing temperature
has thus far not appeared to have de
terred any who had sleighs and horses, or
offers of rides, from braving the frigid
elements.
The plumber at this particular juncture
has plenty of employment. The frost has
played havoo with scores of water pipes,
and from the frozen condition presented
by the roof spouts thore is a harvest ot
employment on hand and In prospect for
them. It is thus again demonstrated that
there Is no Buch thing as an unmitigated
evil, and that what is one man's poison is
another man's meat.
The Intensely cold weather has had very
serious effects upoi the oyster business
While there Is not a famine of bivalves,
they have become so scarce that unless
there is a speedy change In tbe temper
ature, prices will have to be materially
advanced.

POLITICAL POINTS.
Election uext Tuesday,
Ihls is not a Democratic year;
Tbe Democrats are on the run. ,
There are no sulkers In the Citizens
ranks.
Vote early and often for the Citizen s
candidates.
Make It a point to see that your neigh
bor votes next Tuesday.
The Citizens were born to rule, while
the Democrats are to be ruled.
The Citizens candidates in the Second
ward are confident of success.
Chief Burgess Burns Is sadly in need of
a Citizens Council at his back.
The people are not saying much, but
they are doing some tall thinking.
Weigh well the qualifications of each
candidate before casting your vote.
The enthusiasm of the Democrats can
be confined to tbe dimension? ot a thimble.
A man's business qualifications should
be his best recommendation for election.
There is a good bit of the green goods
method about the Democratic campaign.
A man who neglects his own business
is hardly a fit subject to legislate for tho
people.
Shenandoah needs progressive men iu
both the School Board and Borough
Council.
In tbe language ot Grover Cleveland,
'a condition, and not a theory," confronts
the local Democracy.
The official ballot for, Shenandoah will
contain but three columns, the smallest
ballot in the county.
The Citizens party was never mora
firmly united, and the little dissensions
In the past have disappeared.
At least one Democratic candidate In
tho First ward is tearful of defeat. He
Is making a house-to-houte canvass,
Turkey Run will give a good account of
itself on Tuesday, the statesman from that
bailiwick to the contrary notwithstand
ing. Each voter ot the Citizens party should
constitute himself a committee ot on to
see that every vote is deposited on Tuet
day. Tbe Citizens Standing Committee will
meet in the Republican League rooms to
morrow evening for the purpose ot con
sulting with the candidates of that party.
Said a prominent Democrat yesterday :
I have become disgusted with the class
ot men nominated by my .party for the
past two or three years, and shall vote to
give the managers a rebuke this time."
Died.
