UaitALD : I have watched closely tlie tAcltos of several prominent Democratic loaders tn this now remarkable campaign, anil never in the history of the borough do I remember n contest that appealed with lets force to tlio better judgment of the tax payers than the one the Democratic party is engaged in. The principles of the party wliioh have stood ns n bulwark against tlio onslaught of designing politicians have been set aside for the time being to satisfy the cravings of two men for public position. V I have shewn conclusively, so far as the contest for School Directors are concerned, that the ono object to be obtained by the Democratic party, In tho hands of ita present leaden, is tho olection of Mr. Whltaker as superintendent and Mr. Ilanna (not Mark llanna) as secretary ot tho Board. Every principle of the Democratic party, the chorished rights of the taxpayers, and the constitutional privilege vouchsafed to tho American citizen, have all been cast aside to gain the object sought. Tho aspirations of men who have grown grey in the ranks of the party havo been blighted at tho altar of these new gods of Democracy. The battle field the primary election Is strewn with political wrecks. Tho representatives of tho Uermans wero sacrificed men. too. who have sacrificed personal interests, time and money to fight tho party's battles in the past, are numbered among "tho dead and wounded" as a result of the conflict for personal- aggrandizement. V In no other way can I aocount for the blttor and uncalled for attacks made upon the candidates of the Citizens party. Messrs. Bough, Leo and Morgan, who havo received re-uomlnation at the hands of their constitu ents, a strong endorsement in itself, havo dono more for the niatorial welfare of the borough than their assailants can or will do in a life tlmo. Why theso gentlemen should be the special target for attack, can only bo accounted for In one way. That is, they aro not sufficiently onthusiastio in sup port of tho two gentlemen for tho supcrin- tecuency ana secretaryship. I know not what opinion Messrs. Baugh, Lee and Mor gan hold in the premises, but the inference is that they must be anything but friendly, otherwise they would be tho particular pets of the "managlug editor" of the News, and would not be subject to his venomous darts and hatred. The Citizens candidates for Council nominated by the same party are subject to no such attacks personally. Why ? uocauso tliey will havo no voice in tho elec tion of superintendent and secretary. V Tho courso pursued by the "managing editor," I am pleased to know, has not the sanction of the better elemont of tho Demo cratic party. They can find no justification in such a course, and are only too anxious to give expression of their condemnation of tho sinister motivo behind tho attacks namely, to secure snug berths for the "man aging editor," who makes the attacks, and his friend Frank, who pulls tho wires.behind tho scene, I stated a great many Democrats aro opposed to conducting a fight of this nature, and if they voto as they talk there will be some surprises in store for tho local politicians and thoy wont be supporters of tue "Hybrid" ticket, either. A peculiarity of tho "personal" campaign is a sudden change in the opinions of a certain editor towards the Citizens candidates in the Third ward for School Director. Some tlmo ago not many days, however the editor in question was profuso in his praises of this candidate, and wanted his party to endorse mm; but, presto, what a change I This Is an Instance whore flattory was smeared on too deep tho public, nevertheless, distlnaulshed tin motivo underlying the surface Truly, I wouiu jiko to Know tlio "managing editor's' "private opinion publicly expressed" of tho TMrU ward candidate. V Now, dear reader and Amorican voter. take an iuipnssiouute view of the campaign and I think you will form tho same opinion that hundreds of voters havo that the Citizens candidates have conducted a clean and respectable cnmpulgn and havo dono nothing for which they need bo ashamed wnen tlio smoke of battle has cleared awav. Now view the other side, tho acts of those engaged in tho personal" camnaien. From tho day of tho nomination In fact, long oeiore mat time tlielr organ has contained day after day abusive languago directed against the Citizens candidates. Some times the English language appeared inadequate to express tue bitterness of the inanag Ing editor," who abovo nil othere sliould nave assumed an entlrolv illf. ferent position in this campaign. Tho candidates of our party appeal to the voters on their own merits, tho organ of tho other deals in abuse. Is It any wonder that many Democrats havo become disgusted and are only too willing to show that they do not sanction the acts of those who are Just now in control or tlio Democratic maohlnerv? I am of the opinion the people in general will reuuKe tnese gentlemen on the day of elec tion. At least, that is how I find the feeling in aiscussing tlio political contest.

ATTAGrJ 0Jt TgE OUDlflflliGES I A New Turn Jn the Flynn Stone Wall Suit. WADLINGER'S SWEEPING CHARGE. Ho Says All OnUnantes Sol Certified to aa Having Been Published Are of Ho EffectFamous Mahanoy City Case Recalled. The Injunction stilt of Anthony Flynn against the Borougm of Shenandoah, in which Mr. Flynn seeks to restrain tlio bor ough from tearing down a stone wall he erected across a creek in the First ward, was an attraction at the Qouncil chamber to-day and many citizens Were present to hear the testimony. Burough Solicitor J. II. romeroy and A. W. Schslck, Esq,, of Pottstille, put in their final installment of evidence and in doing so brought ont an attack by Mr. Flynn's counsel, George J. WadllBtfT, Esq., of Pottsville, that will Bet many psqple thinking seriously. Iu closing their oat Messrs. Sohalok and romeroy Introduced one of the borough ordinances. Mr. , Wadllnger objected to tho introduction oil tho ground that tho original ordinances were the host evidence. To meet this MoMt Sohalck aud Poinoroy called W. J. Watkiu, the secretary of the Borough Council, to the witness stand, and lie produced tho original ordinances. The siiecial ordinance sought to be introduced was that passed In 1888, referring to permits for opening the streets. At this point Mr. wadllnger objected to tlio introduction on the ground that there was nothing in the ordinance book to show that the ordlnauco referred to had been duly pub lished nnd advertised, in accordance with law. Mr. Wadllnger made tho sweeping statement that thoro Was not an ordinance of the borough that could ho sustained in law. Tho point raised will bo argued in couit. It is important in view of the result of a suit lost by the borough of Mahanoy City about eight years ago. The latter borough brought suit to abate a nuisance at tho Wadllnger slaughter house and lost the suit because it was shown that there was nothing in the ordinance book to show that tho ordinance had been duly published as required by law. The result was that the borough of Mahanoy City was obliged to re-adopt and re-publish all of its ordinances. The createst barcalns in the iawoirv Una at A. Ilolderinan's.

IMPORTANT TO TAXPAYERS I The School Board of the Borough of Shen andoah, through its undersigned finance committee, desires to submit the following statement in connection with the proposed in crease of the bonded Indebtedness of the school district, and which the voters of the borough will be called npon to decide at the borongh election to bo held on the 16th lost.: Within the past fire years the School Board has erected three now and commodious school buildings, which have been con structed on the most Improved plans and are In every way a credit to the town. These new structures, together with tho grounds upon which they are erected, and the in terior furnishings, have cost the Board about 80,000 and are located in the most promi nent and thickly populated parts of the borough, via : West street, just south of Centre; corner of Jardin and Cherry streets; White street, between Centre and Lloyd streets. The orection of those additional buildings became an absolute necessity, by reason of tho great steady increase in the population of the borongh and the desire of the people to keep the curriculum of the schools, as it al ways has been, second to none in the state. This growth of attendants and fidelity to the welfare of the cause of publio education has led to the establishment of more teachers. Improvement in heating aud ventilating methods In class rooms, the addition of ad vanced and modern studies In all branches, and a general source of outlay far in excess of what was required in the public school system in earlier years. Moreover the school term has been Inoreased, within recent years, from nine to ten months and the free text lmok law has caused an additional annual expenditure of considerable proportions. All theso sources of Increased Indebtedness have been met successfully until tho present year, when tho School Board found itself confronted with the problem as to whethor all its offorts of the past should go for naught and tho schools-left In a crowded condition, or whether the people should be asked to pro vide funds with which to relieve the pressure. The School Board has the power to add sev erul mills to Its present tax rate, and had the power to do so last Spring, but with confi dence in the people's pride iu the cause of publio education, it was concluded to erect another school building (tho one on White street) and trust to tho good faith of the peoplo to meet the cost. In addition to this it lias becomo evident that to afford suitable accommodations for the pupils and teachers of the High school, and therefore maintain tho standard, an addition to the structure must ho erected. Tho School Boai-d is now carrying ,i float ing indebtedness of $20,000, created mainly by tho erection and furnishing of the now school building on White street. Thero aro but two ways in which this indebtedness can bo met,' viz : By an incroaso iu tho tax rate, or the issuanco of bonds. With coufidonco in the intelligence of the taxpayers and their ability to undorstand that tho latter is tho simplest, oasiest nnd best method by which to meet tho obligation, the School Board of tho borough of Shenandoah, through its undorslgnod financo committee, asks that the application for a $25,000 In crease iu tho bonded indebtedness of tho school district be sustained at tho borough olection to bo held on Tuesday, 10th inst.

NEW TOBK THE CHAPPY CUBflU PATRIOTS A Pathetic Letter From the War De vastated Island. THE OUTLOOK A VERY GLOOMY ONE Insurgents Blew Up a Spanish Convey Train and Capture the Guard Accom panying It Sixteen People Killed In the Wreck. Jarlrsonvllle, PI a., Feb. IS. An Im poitnnt Cuban letter, graphically de pleting the Bltuatiun on the island, was received In the city yesterday. The letter came to Paul Kojo, who is well known as being; prominent in Cuban circles, but the name of the author, further than that he is a Cu ban occupying a high position in Ha vana, is withheld for reasons that are apparlit. It may be stated, however, that the letter is ot a semi-official na ture, and it is important for that reason. It says: "After dreams of pence through the reforms the terrible reality has come, because it has been found from differ ent sources that President Clsneros and General Gomez are thoroughly op posed to corning' to any agreement that Is not based upon the Independence of Cuba. 'Naturally, for myself and all of those people who have something; to lose, things look very gloomy, as the only hope for us now is the Interven tion of the United States, which would come like a blessing from God. If this shall not be done then I think, and I already hear some talk, that the three parties on the Island, the Autonomists, Conservative and Reformists, will come together and decide the future of the country, because the soldiers Will never think of peace when the war is their sole basis of ambition. "1 do not think that it will be long befoie the evacuation of Cuba by the Sr-J-nlsh troops will become a renllty. Tin- reason I think this Is that General Wt-yler has destroyed everything in hia path through the provinces of Matan zas and Havana, and now he is finish ing what he left In Las Villas district If the parties shatl not come togetheii and take energetic measures to settle tho struggle, then only God can save Cuba. "Every day in Havana we hear the shots that tell of executions, and we have come to lose our pity. If this ter rible war shall continue Cuba will not only be materially ruined, but morally as well. The people will lose all of their natural feelings, and everybody will be come indifferent to cruelty." INSUKOENTS DBSTItOS A TRAIN. Sixteen Men Killed ami the Entire Span ish Guard Cnpturod.

Hearing that the train was on the way he mined the roadbed, and as the train came up exploded the mine, blowing- up the en gine and the armored car and three passenger cars. As the wrecked train rolled down the embankment his troops poured in a hot Are, and the frightened Spanish soldiers immediately nunc- nut tho white flag. Sixteen were killed In the wreoK, including- the engineer and fire man and two Spanish officers. The Spanish troops were so demoralized that they did not fire a dozen shots at the Cubans.
