TO-NIGHT WILL
TELLTHE TALE
Councilmen Held a Lengthy Caucus
Last Night.
HE RESULT IS WITHHELD
Anolher Caucus for Finishing: Touches to
be Held Just Before the Organization
Takes Place Thl,s Evening.
"To be, or not to be," is tho question
that still remains unsettled from the
local Councllmanic standpoint of view!)
Whether this, that, or the other nppll
cant for the appointment under the Borj
ough Council to be organized to night!
will handle the wealth, direct the street
cleaning, or preserve the peace of the
town under a blue uniform, etc., etc., still
occasions n rub on the minds of the!
populace that breeds much speculation.
As was anticipated, the Citizens mem-'
bers of Council and ruembers-elert failed
to get together Saturday night for a
caucus. This wae not due to nny hitch
other than that occasioned by the pres.
sure upon the Councilmen who have busi
ness places and found It impossible to
eave them for politics on a pay day. But
last night the eight Citizens members
got together and they remained behind
closed doors for four or five hours, making
up a slate. It was almost one o'clock this
morning when the caucus ended.
When the Councilmen emerged from
their seclusion they were as dumb nt
oysters. No amount of persuasion could
induce them to give any definite informa
tion as to the proceedings of the caucus,
but persistent inquiry elicited the infor
mation that the members have agreed
upon nn organization with the exception
of one or two minor details, which will
be adjusted nt another caucus to be held
before the meeting for organization this
evening.
That the majority members have
matters pretty well shaped there can be
no doubt. They must ieel that the
appointments are well adjusted, or they
would not allow a caucus to go until
withlu hnlf an hour of the time fixed for
the organization. To night's caucus Is to
be held nt 7 o'clock and the meeting foi
organization Is fixed for 7:30.
The town was flooded with caucus re
ports to-day, but none were of such h
character as to be considered authentic.
But by taking fragment and putting
them together with information possessed
by those who have been close observers and
listeners during the past week it is fair to
presume that the slate that will go
through to night will he satisfactory to
the people at large.
As to the police force, it is diflicult to
make a prediction. It is really the forcr
that is prolonging the uncertainty. Rumor
has it that the postponement of the
caucus was made to give the members
time to consider, Individually, which of
the Polish, Lithuanian and German appli
cants should be appointed. It Ms hoped
that a day's deliberation will make it
easy to arrive at a decision at to-night
cuueuu.
POLITICAL POINTS.
What the Local Politicians of Both Parties
Are Doing;.
Rellly Is out, and Brumm goes in.
We may have an Orphans' Court yet.
Tho next national loan ought to be left
alone.
Two years more of Grover, then all will
be over.
Senator Coyle threatens to get square
with Losch.
A new crop of political statesmen is
about coming up.
Senator Hill does not take kindly to
Secretary Gresham.
Ex Governor Pattlson has retired from
politics and will practice laws.
Good-bye, Cleveland's cookoo Congress.
Mny we never see your like again I
We ire nnxlons to know how the county
Legislative districts are to be made up.
"Brumra-Coyle nnd Whitehouse-Losch
Vendette" Is what the Democrats call it
Wyatt, onr Joe, is not very alow. For a
new member he knows the ropes pretty
well.
No danger of an extra session of Con
gress ; Cleveland has had enough of the
one just gone out of business.
Within a few short months the national
debt has been Increased t300.000.000. ThU
speaks volumes for the Democratic party,
to their detriment.
The Republican party was paying oil
the national debt by many millions each
year; the Democrats are increasing the
debt more rapidly than It was being re
duced.
Lil., the dusky deposed Queen of
Hawaii, and particular friend of Presi
dent Cleveland, will likely be banished or
imprisoned for- a term of five years for
participation In the late attempt to over
throw the new government.

The case of Boyer against the borough
of Shenandoah referred to in the above

tisements inserted in the Evening Heh

publicity was given to the special election
called to increase the borough
debt for the purpose of constructing the
public water works. After the election
the Herald presented the bills for the
advertisements, amounting to about Slllj,
to the Borough Council, but payment was
refused. After considerable delay, during

The News Budget, on Saturday, In

Council in making its nnnunl appoint
merit of ofllcials, said : "The Secretary
should also be a man who is weltequippel
with a first class business knowledge, a
rapid writer and a good reader. Ono who
con go before the meeting and have
everything that comes to him during the
interval between meetings ready nnd in
shape so as to present It at the proper
time. In the past we have had some
secretaries who could never take down a
resolution or a motion properly, and these
aro qualifications that are of great value
at any time, and often might be the
means of saving a litigation."

A Newspaper Scheme That Met With
Deserved Failure.
An exchange says that about a year
ago two would-be mart men in Iudiana
leased an old printing plant uud started
a daily newspaper on a new and peculiar
plan which they looked upon as a
bonanza, but failed dismally. There-is a
law providing that, whether or no
there be a subscription, if a person con
tinues to receive a newspaper from car
riers, or toke it fiom the post office, he is
responsible for the subscription prica.
These enterprising men depended on this
law to a great exteut for the success oi
their scheme. They distributed daily
for a year over two thousand c uples of
their paper, making no coileoti. ns mean
time. At the end of thut penoii mt.. b
scriptions, at f3 each, aggravated cu.oou
Advertisements were inserted the
same plan. The people were annu d at
the liberality of the publishers, but
'hortly after tho year expired theeoilec
tors made their rounds and, of course.
nine tenths ot the Involuntary patrous
repudiated the claims. The rest p.vil,
preferring to avoid annoyance, but de
claring that they would never allow
themselves to be caught in such a trap
again. Suits were Instituted un the
balauce of the claims and, of larrse,
judgments were invariably recovered on
the involuntary subscriptions, under the
law quoted. On many of the ndverttsinf
claims settlements were made to avoul
the trouble attending law suits. The
success of the scheme, however, wai It
death blow. The people had their eye
opened and the second year did not opeD
as gloriously for the schemers. The rc
suit was that the publishers, fluding their
own creditors pnshing them and there
being no prospects for a second hnfl
became disgusted and disappeared Th(
moral is : When you want a newspapei
subscribe and pay for it and do not takt
one iimlur the impression that it is sen
free of charge. It costs money to ran a
newspaper, and when you find publishers
giving the papers and advertisements
away be prepared to find a string at
tached to the generosity.
