Siinatok Allen has discovered that civil Msrvicc reform is-fast filling tho offices with cigaiettc-smoking dudes.

Ho will no doubt begin one of the groatcstHgitntious 1,'ngl.ind has over seen and the fall of tho .Salisbury ministry, despite Its l.iro majority, is among tho possibilities when the Ihigllsh middle class is thoroughly .roused upon a question llko that of tho per secution of tho Christians in Armenia. Tub Citizens uomiuoeii for High Con- J stable and Borough Auditor wero selected be tausu of their fitnoes for tho two positions. Edward Mason, a veteran of tlio late war who is Incapacitated by old ago from performing manual labor, lias been a resident of Shenan doah for many year., and during that time was nover before tho people asking their aupport for a political otlloe. Ho is both worthy and onpablo of performing tho duties of tho offloa to which heasplies, aud if elec ted which wo think he will be will servo the people faithfully. In tho jiertou of Will iam Reeves, the Citizens party presents a candidate for Borough Auditor who has a full knowledge of tho duties of tho position. The office is an important ono, and it would be unfortunate to place a ptfrsou in the position who has not tho proper qualifications. Mr. Reeves has had the required experience, and ni electing him no rnUtako will be made. POLITICAL CHAT. Wlint Is Transpiring Three Days lleforo , the Klcctlon. What If Pennsylvania should have thrco Presidential candidates Juay on the Repub lican ticket, Pattlsou on the Democratic, and Cameron on tho Popullst-SHrcr ticket. V Two of tho present Councllmen aro candi dates for re-election Thomas J. James In tho Third ward and John P. Koohm in tho Second. The fonnor has apparently no opposition and will Iki returned by a largo majority without much of an cll'flrt on tho part of his supporters. Mr. James has been a Councilman for a number of terms and is well posted on borough affairs. Tho voters of tho ward rcallzo this, and know ft good thing when tlioy seo it. Mr. Bochni Is another memlwr of tho Bor ough Council whose retord Is his best recom mendation. Although he has served but ono year in that body, his previous familiarity with borough affairs, btained as tho execu tive of tha town, has enabled him to tako a prominent position in our legislative body. The fact that ho bad no onaoaltion for ro- nominatiou is evidence that the people of the ward appreciate his worth, and will re turn him as their Councilman. V Tho Democrats aro putting forth strong efforts to carry tho Fourth and Hfth wards. T hero is no good reason why they should. Tho Citizens candidates in theso two wards will compare favorably in every respect with their oppononts; they appeared to bo tho uuanimouseholcont tho primaries.and should command tho united support of their party. Thomas Bioughall and Daniel Riegcl, tho nominees for School Board and Council re spectively, need no Introduction to tho voters of tlio Fourth ward, while Charles Hoffman and Christ Foltz, who aro nominated for tho sanio offices in tho Fifth, will servo their con stituents faithfully. As stated before, thero is no good reason why theso two wards should not rcconl a Citizens victory noxt Tuesday, V Thomas H.Rickert is looming up asSenator Keefcrr's most formidable competitor. Keep an cyo on tho Coloucl in this fight. V Edward Mason, the Citizens candidate, for High Constable, walks with a cane; hut his opponent will have to take to crutchos nfter the lbth iust. Ellas Davis, of Broad Mountain and Potts ville, and until recently also claiming resi dence in Schuylkill Haven, is erecting political fences for the Treastirership nomina tion. 'Lias' avocation is of a varied nature, but ho finds tirno to give to his numerous friends what is termed as the '"Davis shake." v Tho Democratic voters of the Second ward will resent the presumption of a citizen of tho Fifth ward naming a candidate fur them. If you don't think 60, watch tho returns. Tho national delegate fight appears to bo In a stato of comatose. Onu of the candidates has followed the example of the ground hog gono in his holo again. V There'll bo plenty of fun in Shenandoah previous to and after the county conventions. Tho "boys" will bo right in the swim. V . Don't make a fuss because thero is going to bo a Democratic county convention this summer. An inquest is always necessary ben death has been violent. The news comes from Malianoy City tho town of. political patriots that M. J. Powers will ask for the legislative nomination on tho Democratic ticket. Mr. Powers is entitled to the recognition from bis party, but, by by tho powers, he'll wish lie hadn't after tho Hon. Joseph Vyatt isdouo with him. V Victory is in tho air for tho Citizens party next Tuesday, with one proviso, livery vote must bo polled, and every voter ot tlio party must work In the party's interest. Wkons.

Baldwin, tho meteorologist of tho Pcnry expedition of 1893-91, was nskod what ho thought of tho roportod dlscovory of tho north polo by Dr. Nnnscn. "I think it highly probnblo," ho ropllcd. "It is tho result of woll calculated plans, and not uuoxpocted. Dr. Nnnson has cer tainly, It would apponr, accomplished that for which ho has striven for at least tho past flvo years. Tho voyago of tho Jenn otto under Do Long until tho crushing of tho vossel in latltudo 77 degrees 15 minutes nnd longitude 165 enst, indicated that tlio near approoch to tho north polo wns to bo mado by a well equlppcdnnd properly con structed vessel from thnt direction by tho Now Siberian islands. "The Jcanotto had drifted through two long Arctio nights in that region, and this would indicate that it It Is possible for a vessel undor ordlnnry conditions to onduro so long, it is to bo oxpectod that ono of special construction, as was Dr. Xnnsen's, would" succeed In going much farther. Dr. Hansen's ndvanco sinco Juno 21, 1893, has given him tlmo to mako nt least vory closo approach to tho north polo, and I think it highly probnblo thnt, with fnvorablo con ditions, ho has succeeded in arriving ut the long coveted point. "Slnco communication with tho Now Siberian islands nt tho mouth of tho Lena and Delta is continuously had by moans of tho tradors aud hunters of that region, it is not improbablo that Dr. Nnnson has had means of sanding dispatches to tho Russian sottloinonts in Control Siberia, and thus homo. So I think tho report is not nt all improbablo. Tho appropriation made by tho Norwegian government, and supplomentcd by prlvato subscriptions, so abundantly cqulppod Dr. Nanson thnt ho has been unhampered so far as his ship Is concerned, and tho conditions havo boon, altogether very favorable. "It wns, howovor, expected that tho first news from him would chronlclo his arri val off tho north coast of Greenland, as it wns his theory that his vossol would drift with tho ico north of tho Now Siberian Islands nearly, if not diroctly, over tho north pole, and thonco southward to tho coast of Groonland, It scorns, however, that Instead of drifting south nfter onco having arrived at tho north polo ho has re turned southward by way of tho outward voyago, as dld-Do Long after tho crushing of tho Jeanetto."
