Thk borough election is one of
much importance to tho taxpayers
uud they should tied to it that good
men are nuuiiimted for tho various

If incompetent men secure these
nominations, the people themselves

Wk hear people assert occasionally
that if there was a contagious disease

He paid five dollars fine and cost of

Trivial Cases in Court.
The press of the county, and in
many other parts of the state, for
that matter, have commented favor
ably upon tho action of the grand
jury In this county in directing atten
tion to the large number of trivial
cases returned to court, and recom
mending that the members of the
Legislature fron this county give the
subject their consideration and ware
the enactment of a law giving the
grand juries greater power.
The, recommendation was endorsed
by Judge Bechtel, who heartily
favors a law granting to grand juries
greater power in the matter of plac
ing the costs upon the parties who
instigate these petty prosecutions,
which are generally of such a trivial
character that they should never
have been returned to court.
The sessions of thecrimiiialcourtsin
this county bears out the statement
that there are people who are in court
year after year ; who bring prosecu
tions for assault and battery merely
for the fees that fall to their coffers
as witnesses and for free transporta
tion. Many Justices otter the pleit,
and perhai justly so, that tliey can
not prohibit these cases going to
court under "the present statutes of
criminal law. If that is true the
recommendation of the grand jury,
presented to court last week, would
certainly prove effective. Our law
makers oould stop the Inroads made
on the oounty treasury by the enact
ment of a law, giviriK the grand
juries greater iower in the disposi
tion of the costs in the matter of
trivial cases.
Commenting upon this subject the
Philadelphia Times of yesterday says:
"The enactment of a Jaw for the
more severe punishment of complain
ants in suits brought for revenge or
othor reasons not justified by the
law would meet with the approbation
of taxpayers. Many of those who
instigate petty prosecution and who
are sentenced to pay the eosts take
advantage of the insolvency law and
escape punishment altogether. A
suggestion made by one who ha
studied the question Is that when tbe
costs are not paid the person, upon
whom they have been plaoed by the

Since I wrote my last letter to the
"Republican" our estetmed. president.
William McKlnley, has made a South
ern trip and received a warm welcome
from the people who voted against him
In the national campaign. Mr. Mr-
Kir. ley In many respects wins univer
sal admiration. His gieat I'rotec.lve
Tin lit Act gave him more than a na-
tlimal fame made him Presld nt and
he will go clown to Immortality wear
ing a wreath of glory woven In the
looms of his own genius. He differs
with Washington In the respect that
he is last In war. He Is a greater
peace President than was the Father
of His Country, and now that our
bloody strife with Spain is at an endhc
goes South to assure Its citizens that
the unpleasantness of '01 to '03 Is
really forgotten. He congratulated the
Southerners that our recent struggle
with Spnln had given assurance that
we an. at last mutually one people w tn
one Hag. No North, no South, and the
spirit of secession sleeping with the
bones of those who attempted to en
force it. This picture Is more beauti
ful than true. The fact that our
Southern boys Joined with us to free
Cuba Is not full philosophical a-sur-
ance that they have no grl vanco
against the North. It simply showed
their patriotism and love of justice.
Help from England on the same score
would not Indicate that she conformed
to our manner of government. Blood
brothers may Join to oppose a common
foe, but the partial will of a deceased
parent will create eternal enmity be
tween them. Besides the Southerners'
conception of liberty Is somewhat
different to ours. You In your own phil
osophy may term It broader or nar
rower. They want all the liberty we
enjoy, and the additional liberty to
enslave the negro. No matter what
their national utterances may be, this
is their Innate home feeling. Then they
have the memory of the Lost Cause,
which means so much to them. ..Still
our worthy Pres dent congratulate!
th'em as good forgetters and gracious
oonformers (against their wishes) to
our way of thinking. That Mr. MfKIn
ley Is mistaken in this respect seems
very likely, but then his wish may be
father to the thought. Against his
utterances I have the authority of
SEVERAL COMMERCIAL MEN
who know more about the Southern
people than perhaps our good Presi
dent can ever expect to know. They
have been doing business with the
Confederates and circulating among
them for years, and as we have very
well enllghtentd men who are huslnesj
tourists their opinions, based on close
association with the subject, are enti
tied to the highest respect, and numer
ically should be of greater weight than
that of him who simply visits the sec
tion. All of these men say that the
South stillbelieves in slavery, and that
the Lost Cause Is its second nature.
They even hold from what they have
been constantly observing down there
that the South will open warfare on us
again when It feels that It is able to
accomplish lts purpose. I might re
mind brother McKlnley of the fu
neral of the daughter of Jeff Davis
which occurred after the Southern boys
had offered themselves to help conquer
Spain. If he read the papers at thut
time he will remember that all along
the line of the funeral prooesslon the
rebel flairs hunir from everv window.
These flags are being made continuously
mint tliA wow I f tha .n(. ,1 1 .. 1 1
prompt them and the demand for them
continue to exist they would long ago
have been relegated to obscurity. If our
good President, who said In his Southern
speech that we had but one flag In thla
country, had at the same time request
ed the Southerners to burn the rebel flags
he might now hold a different opinion on
the matter. If he were telllnir the truth
Lhe need have no fear to make such a re
quest, Dut tne unumeuness evidenced
on the face of the latter Ind'catea a
lack of veracity on the part of the for
mer. Bob Inaersoll once said that Chris
tianity was almost dead. He afterwards
ran for Governor of Illinois, and learn 1
to his great surprise that It was very
much healthier than he had thought it
to be. On this Important subject we
have the mrmortal utteranoe of Father
Ryan, the rebel poet priest, who, wjjting
of secession, sas: "Its cradle Is Its mar
tyr's grave " Tom Moore, Ireland's fa
mous Dard, says something like this:
Tou may break, you may shatter the
lags If you Will,
But the scent of the roses will cling
round It still
l And so with the South. The brines of
the original prime movers may be con
signed to earth, but the spirit of aeees-
i slon 'll Htlll hover among those who are
left l li nd. we see no pictures or th
Noiili and South belnfr united only in
northern newspapers Southern papei
never portray them. In faot south, rn ar

the reasons of "Ragle Kye" f,,r illff, r

AllOUT CHRISTIAN SCIENCE.
"Eagle Eye" thankfully acknowledges
an Invitation to attend a lecture on
Christian Science by Carol Norton In th-
Pottsvllle Academy of Music next Tues
day evening. I will bo there. Although
nothing of a scientist myself I am
a lover of science whether It be Christian
or agnostic But It must first of nil be
science. If It Isn't, then all tho adjec
tives In the vocabulary placed in front
of It will not redeem It or save It from
censure. In this ago of progress and ad
vancement when Christianity must con-'
form to science rather than science to
Chr'stianlty, I am at a loss to surmise
which side of the Issue our learned vis
itor will maintain. At any rate, as ho
Is an eminent Christian plus science, and
I an humble Christian minus science, , ho
will at least have one attentive listener
to his words and one fertile heart in
which to sow his seeds. Like the gonrt
apostles of Bid, Mr. Norton Is chars
Ing no admission to hear him. All are
Invited free. This In Itself Is refreshing
in this age of self greed and Indifference
towards the masses, whilst other Chris
tian shepherds are making no endeavor
to find the lost sheep, To be plain, some
of them In their estimation are too poor
to be soughtnot In spirit, but In pocket
Oh, that beautiful parable of tho ninety
nine sheep! Is It doomed to pass out
from the hearts of men? But what can
be expected when those tfho pledge their
honor to remember are the llrst to fur
get? I trust that a large nud'ence will
greet the lecturer nnd that he will eluc
idate matters so clearly as to leave no
doubting Thomases after the event.
THAT PUBLIC BUILDING.
Well, well, did you see the great' pub
lic building thut our National govern
ment gave to Pottsvllle? Perhaps 'you
didn't, 'as it Is not easily seen, and you
are better off If you hate disappoint
ments. Why, even the Pottsvllle papers
aro ashamed to refer to It any more,
ami when they fall to mention any
addition to the county seat In u spirit of
pride it must be one of mud, or an
Increase of the other fellow's circulation.
For 20 years the two political mountains
Rellly and Brumm have labored and
brought forth i mouse. And such a
sickly mouse moro pitiful looking than a
scaldv catbird. Rellly got the building,
and Brumm got the money to ouild it.
What does it look like? Just 1'ke a one
and one-half story rough brick freight
depot. Don't go to Ree it. It Isn't worth
the walk. It should, however, bear tne
inscription: "Twenty years In Congreks
by Rellly and Brumm. , No wonder the
people relegated both of them to private
life. They might elect better, but they
could hardly defeat worse. Ah, me! oh,
my!
PLENTY OF GOOD FOOD.
During the travels of "Eagle Eye"
among the working classes In the holi
days I observed plenty of good things to
eat from turkey to the delicious pud
dings. I was delighted to see every
home with full and plenty. In some In
stances when there were men present I
made a little speech to the effect that the
tables of the working classes should be
spread every day in the year as they
were at present. I told thorn that labor
was the life of tho nation and In turn
that the very best the nation could pro
duce should bo used to sustain that life.
Some agreed with me and some were
so modest as to think that the present
bill of fare was too good for the working
classes. It appeared to them like a lux
urious dream unworthy of serious
thought. Vet it la Indeed true, If the
American worklngmen were treated with
Justice, the good things and 'plenty of
them would bo found In their homes
from one end of the year to the other.

of them.
Among the callers was the Cuban

Purls. Jan. 11. The Dreyfus affair
has now entered upon one of Its bit
terest chapters. Accusations, vltuper
ntlons and threats are raging In the
rnfes nnd nmonc the acores of boule
vard sheets, mnny of which have found
their sole reason for existence for
months past In the unhappy strife they
foment.
It Is regarded by Impartial observers
ns the most dangerous factor to the In
stitutions of the republic the affair lias
yet developed that the president of the
chambers of the court of cassation
should assume the role of a leader of
agitation against the tribunal, declar
ing that 16 of his colleagues are con-
anlrlne tn defent the ends of justice.
The method he employs, of appealing to
the nonulace through the newspnpers,
In the eyes ot the most conservative.
aggravates his course by Its lacK 01
dlcnltv. It Is evident that he, bel.ev
ing that the court ot cassation will
decide In favor of Dreyfus, Intends, to
dlvVst the decision of all weight by
Impeaching Its fairness In advance, nnd
he seems likely to succeed, so far as tne
antl-Dreyfusards, many of whom have
hitherto respected the court, nut are
now only eager to find excuses for dis
crediting It, are concerned.
The oolnlon Is gaining ground that
the opponents of the reptibllc may find
In this man. M. Ouesnay de Beaure-
palre, a leader, the lack of which has
hitherto been the chief guarantee of the
continuance of the present regime.
M. Beaurepalre today contributes to
-the papers another rhetorical denuncla
tlon of the court of cassation. He ex
horts the government to take the Drey-
lus case from the hands of the criminal
chamber nnd to entrust It to the 4D
magistrates composing the whole court
or to five nf the oldest justices. He np
peals to the Dreyfusards: "Repudiate
M. Loew and the others who serve you
too well not to serve you badly. Ac
cept Instead magistrates without pre
conceived opinions, men who are non
est nnd slaves of the law."
The gist of M. Beaurepalre's charges
Js that M. Bard nnd M. Loew conferred
with Colonel Plcqunrt privately In an
anteroom, and also Instructed the clerk
of the court to express to him the
court's regret at having kept him wait
Ing nnd being unable to hear him that
day. which the clerk refused to do, re
questing a messenger to take Colonel
Plcqunrt a glass of wine.
The Maln asserts that when General
Billot (former minister of war) was
"before the court drink was offered him
-also. To such trllles has the strife de
scended. The papers heatedly afllrrrt
and deny the statement as to BUIot,
who has been appealed to settle the
matter, but the refuses to speak.
It is believed that only 15 Judges In
the whole court have Dreyfus leanings,
so that the hearing thus far Is said to
he to the nil 'ontage of the antl-Drey-
iusards.
The discussion of the affair In the
chamber of deputies elicited the usual
cries of "Vive l'nrmee" and "A bus
Dreyfus."

Another great discovery has Lee.i made.
anil that too, by a lady in this country. "Dis
ease fastened its clutches upon her and for
seven years she withstood its seveiest tests,
hut ner vital organs were nndermlned and
death seemed imminent. For three months
she coughed incessantly, and could not sleep.
She finally discovered a way to recovery, by
purchasing ot us a bottle ol Dr. King s rew
Discovery for Consumption, and was so much
relieved on taking first dose, that she slept all
night ; and with two bottles, has been ab
solutely cured. Her name is Mrs. Luther
