Wherever truo patriotism, true hi inline, tine genius and truo love of free dom and humanity :iro cherished, thcro to day will the memory of tho martyr-l'resi-lent be honored. Tin: Combine, tho members of which have strenuously denied the assertion, nro now compelled to admit that Governor Hastings mil Senator Quay aro on amicablo terms, lly refeieneo to our news columns it will bo found that tho Governor Is an enthusiastic supporter of tho Junior Senator for tho Presidential nomination, provided the latter ia candidate. Senator Quay states, liow- ver, that any announcement of his candi dacy 1 without authority from him. To an .iiterviowihg reporter he jokingly said : "If the boys want to nmuso themselves with tho use of my name for the Presidency, I have n objection. It may keep them out of mischief." The Senator again positively stated that ho was not and would not be a antliilatc for tho nomination. Tub llazletoti papers contained a long interview with Superintendent Fred. L'. Zerbey, of the Lehigh Valley Coal Company, in reference to what is termed "the most valuable discovery made in mining up to date," and "which will icvolutiouize the jnctliols now employed to keep open under ground winkings." We are not surprised that the Ilazleton exchanges should accept the system as something new, but to find our utility exchanges, including those of Potts villc, copying tho article nnd dishing it up to iho people of .Schuylkill county as "somo t dug new," is indeed laughable, when we t'ike into consideration tho fact that tho same process has sbcen In successful operation in! nd 'around Nihciiaudoah for a number of T yean. 1 he sysVm may bo new to Luzerne 'ouuty miners, bt to Palm it oil' as such on ! Schuylkill county readers is liaidly to be c lasf ed as journalistic enterprise. Wii fully agree with tho Mahanoy City IiOcord, in commenting upon the unsatis factory state of affairs in awarding the ballot printing contract, when it says : "Wc rcspect- fullv sui2e-t that the manner of chine out1 : ills election printing in Schuylkill county is I wrong. In other counties in the stale tiro work is divided up amnug the various offices 1 of the county. Tho Commissioners might 1 fix a figure which experience has suggested I as a just one and divide the work among the diu'cruhl districts and unices in tho county where tho fanllltlos oxUtcd for performing the work. ThU would, provo u more satis factory and just system than the present. Thero nro a dozen offices in the county which ould each take n twelfth part of tbo work and do it well and on time, but they cannot hid for, the .whole contract, knowing their inability to perform it." In this way the Commissioners would bo relieved of all em barrassing circumstance connected with tho work, and at tho sums time break up the monopoly that now exists. The subject is worthy the consideration of th Coin inisslunors. Tni: Democrats aro concentrating their forces lu tho Fourth and Fifth waids in the hope of securing control of tlio Borough Council and electing a member of the ficboOj Hoard from each of these wards. They fully realize that thcte Is no earthly show for them In tho Third ward, aud are therely putting up n bluff to catch tho Citizens napp ing In tho Fourth and Fifth. It Is lu the latter that they will make tho light ; in fact, a prominent member of tho party uninten tionally dropped tho Information, and It bohsoves tho Citizens to meet tho enemy with a solid front and ovcry man at his poit nnd doing his duty. Political victories can not ho won in any other way. It requires work, and plenty of it. In theso two wards in fact, every ward In tho town tho Citi zens have made excellent nominations, liven their opponents cannot say one word deroga tory to their character as men ortbclr ability to represent their constituents in cither of the legislative bodies of tho borough. Tho election Is loss than one week henco, and from now until tho 18th imt. effective work should he performed. If this is dono there I neod be no foar of the result. IN THE POLITICAL ARENA. 'ertliieni Comment by Onu IVliu Knows It All. The situation is critical. I'ho national deleg.itoslnp is not going the way of the self styled no.ses. Llectric trolley wires are being charged ; periodical trips nro being made to Washington ; combines and slates ato made yet all to no purple. The voters thcmsclvos aro taking n hand, and as n result there is eonstoriiation in tho camp of the braves. V It is given out on good authority that tho "slato" manipulator of Mahanoy City will have to either fish or cut bait this fall; that ho will either havo to form a new combina tion and strike oil' nt least two names that nppoar upon the slato as at proseut formed, or it will be smashed to smithereens. There is considorablo kicking against Phillips not tho Hon. 1). 1). but ho who handles tho ducats for tho Union Xational Ilauk, of the town of "rcmonstratori." Such is tho life of n political wire-pullor, especially ho who sets himself up as superior anil ubove his party. V Why tills apiiarent tn'.ui in tho Third ward after tho leccnt political' vhirlwind ? The Democratic allies In tho Citizens rauks have put away their dark-lanterns and crawled into obscurity. Tho cation is appaicnt to tho knowing ones. Senator Kecfer is sawing wood in his own back yard those February days. It is likely he will oxperienco much colder weather, politically speaking, before tho hluu birds nest again. Thero appears, however, to bo somo difficulty in centering tho opposition upon somo particular candidate. V H. Jefferson Yost ho who manipulates the keen knifo over tho faces of those seeking political information hoots tho idea that the dozen or so Shenandoah candidates originated in his fertlll brain, but says it is the popular uprising of tho people tha. brought them foith ; that thoc who aro tie.iting tho matter so lightly may rue tho day, and that before many days theso very samo peoplo will, upon bended knee, bo asking the support of Shen andoah's favorites. Time will tell, says Jeff. ,r- Political contests come high, but we must have them. That is one of the character istics of Itcpuhlicans they always stand up for tlieir rights. Tho Itepublicau, of Potts vlllo, is wasting considerable energy ami valuable space just now in trying to persuade Jutlgo Lyon to withdraw the contest that ho has inaugurated. Tho ft lends of the latter say he weighed tho question in all its bear ing before taking the step. This being so, and he Is firmly convinced that lie, and not Judgo Dunn, was legally elected to the oflico the latter now holds, ho is justifiable in seeking red t ess. Otherwise, tho contest is wroug. V Time, and tiuio again, have our friends had a fighting chance in tho Third ward on paper. And it will ho on mighty thin paper tliis time. y Tho Citizens party in the Fouith aud Fifth wards is harmonious, aud nothing hut over-confidence can defeat tho nominees of that party. Tho men whose names appear upon the ticket havo tho confidence of tho voters. While tho outlook is bright in these two wards, as well as In the Second where Mr. Bocbmnlono has opposition yet it will require work to win. Tho Democrats aro on the alert, and to defeat them will require tho assistance of every voter of the Citizens party. An Allentown exchange furnishes tho following political information: "Phil J.

A report lias got abroad that one of the public school teachers has heeu dismissed for abusing n pupil. It is merely a mild rumor arising out of a distortion of circumstances, mingled with a stretch of Imagination. It is, novortheless, a fact that a charge of abuse has been made by tho parents of a pupil against n teacher, hut tho caso is In such a position that tho facts nro not open to publUation. A formal complaint has been mado to tho authorities and a committco of tho School Hoard has tho caso in chargo for investiga tion. Tho committco declines at tho present timo to niako any statement regarding tho affair. In this It is porfectly justified at present, as it is qulto an easy matter to inako a chargo against a teacher, hut not so easy to rcmovo tho effects of publication of tho charge, even should It fall. Thoso Intimately acquainted with tho school affairs know that mauy parents nro somewhat hasty and somo excellent and unoffending teachers havo been wrongfully charged and put to great troublo and Inconvonicnco through misconstrued or misrcDrescnted incidents In the school room, and this past oxperienco has led to the pre caution which is being followed in the pres ent caso regarding publicity. It is not duo in any way to tho merits of tho caso on one sldo or the other, but simply to a nioro conservative policy than has been exercised in somo older cases. Assurances aro given, however, that tho case will ho fully investi gated, both sides will bo given amplo opportunity to bo hoard and n report based upon Impartial consideration will bo mado by tho committee to tho School Board in duo time. How tho report that the teacher had boon dismissed got out is n mystery to every body cognizant of tho caso. 'I was troubled with quinsy for flvo years. Thomas' Eclcctlric Oil cured mo.
