r.ioitTY-Hf!Vj:.v years ago to-day Abraham
Lincoln flint opened his cyos to the light,
and since his eyes closed for the last time the
world has enjoyed a light that it never knew
before. 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!

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.

Premature Conclusion.
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.

Mr. Win. Tliomton of 187 IV. Harltot
Btreot Explains How nud
Why Ho Did It.
(Prom the Elmtra Gatttlr.)
Old ago has many Infirmities, none- of
which nro more prevalent than kidney dis
orders. Havo you ever noticed how tho
old peoplo complain of backache, lamo
back, nnd general listlessncsst And thcro
nro many other symtitoms of which tlicy
do not speak, such ns bloating of tho
limbs, painful nnd Infrequent urination
or cxcesslvcncss of urinary discharge.
Most peoplo think they nro too old to
find relief nud euro, but this is not
so. No better evidenco than tho follow
ing, wnlch comes from an Elmlra citizen,
who lias been cured of it very severe caso
nL7?,'ear8,of n' JIr- Wm- Thornton of
127 West Market Street, speaks of his caso
In this way: "I nm 77 years old. I havo
been afflicted with that dreaded complaint
(kidney disease) for over ten years, mak
ing my old ago a burden. I was so bad
as to 1)0 forced to carry a belt at all times.
nnd, when my MiHei-inr? hemmo bovnmi
endurance, I would nut on tho belt ilmw.
ing it tightly around mn nnd htielrln U
thus bringing nn cxtrcmo pressure over tho
kidneys; this,' undoubtedly, forced the
urino out, a function which tho kidneys
themselves had hecomo too diseased to per
form. My condition I put down to a
Pttain 1 received. I began taking Doan's
Kidney Pills. After two or three days I
nol iced their effect. I wnsjnucli surprised,
ns the ailment wns so severo aud so long
standing, while I had tried many remedies
without nuy relief whatever. The pain I
have experienced at times from straining
in my efforts to discharge tho urine was
simply nwful. I havo dono nwny with
the pse of my leather belt, nnd tho pain
hits till pone, and I recommend Doan's
Kidney Pills to all afflicted with kldncv
urinary disorders."
