EDITOR TRIBUNE.—Since you have granted Patrick Gallagher space in your columns to boom his bolting candidacy I make bold to ask for space to present the other side. Mr. Gallagher says: "According to the laws that were to govern the Democratic convention I was justly entitled to the nomination," ami continues, "If a citizen must be a trickster and belong to rings not speci fcfied in Democratic rules the sooner he shows his Democratic principles the better for all concerned." A stranger coming among us would naturally con clude by reading the above that a grave wrong had been perpetrated in the Democratic convention. Now what are the facts? Past issues of your paper will show that Patrick Gallagher and Conrad Jt Brehm announced themselves us can didates for tax collector of Foster township "subject to the decision of the Democratic nominating conven tion." Both men "seen their friends," "kissed the babies" and the primary election demonstrated the fact that Con rad Brehm had six independent dele gates, while Patrick had only live. I must confess, as a Democrat, that I know of no laws governing Democratic conventions that entitles a minority can didate to a nomination, and if any such law does obtain it, it is undemocratic to say the least. Mr. Gullagher's allusion to rings comes with very bad grace if age and aspira tions are taken into consideration. It is simply playing the baby -act. Me is evidently confused with terms. A polit ical ring, as we understand it, means a combination of individuals who pool their political issues with two definite objects in view. Firstly, to grasp public power; secondly, to procure public plun der. This appellation does not apply to the sixteen delegates who voted for Mr. Brehm in the Democratic convention. They or their friends are not feeding at the public crib now; very few of them have done so in the past, and I think 1 am right when I say thut they are not begging for office in the immediate fu ture. Collectively and individvally they are good Democrats —the peers of Mr. Gallagher's men to put it very mildly— who have done as much for the paity as he has. Those men are not owned by any ring. They are too intelligent to be led and there is no visible mercenary motive to influence their action. Tiiis cry of ring is an old one. It is generally used by some "holier than thou" Democrats —political pharisees— who cry mad dog at the other fellow to hide their own footsteps. It does not apply to the Democratic party in Foster township. We leave it with our Repub lican friends and their Democratic allies. We must not loose sight of the fact that there is something more involved in this contest than the personal interests of Coney Brehm and Mr. Gallagher. The interests of the Democratic party are involved. Bolting the ticket is a disease that invariable proves fatal. It is contagious also, and innocent healthy people are very often inoculated with the fatal germs that follow in its wake. Where is the intelligent Democrat in Foster township who dare assert that Con rail Brehm has not secured this nomination honestly and fairly? Who dare assert that our German citizens have treated rightly in the past? It was the general recognition of this fact that nominated Mr. Brehm, and when we come to consider that he is the only man of that clu-8 on the ticket it behooves honest Democrats to arise and adminis ter a just rebuke to the little hand of political guerillas who are using subtle methods to induce the party to commit political suicide. In conclusion, I say again, the germs that follow in the wake ot bolting are contagious and fatal, and some of them might be in the air next spring. They might strike the county candidates also. In my next letter I will trace cause from effect for the edification of the people. DIAGNOSIS. DRIFTON ITEMS. The hall held by the Fearnots Athletic Association of this place at Freeland on Friday evening was enjoyed very much * by all who attended. While not so very large, the number present were of the kind who know how to make a hall lively and this was done to everybody's satisfaction. Andrew O'Donnell and Miss Grace McGoehan led a very pretty grand march. The association returns thanks to all who assisted at the hall. The rush of work on the D. S. & S. continues night and day, hut with the ihree new engines and crews put on this week it is expected that everything will be kept moving along hereafter. HIGHLAND DOTS. The boys are having a lively time coasting on the hill. Daniel Hughing was a visitor in Sandy Run this week. Michael Wargo moved his family to Ebervale this week. The slack time continues here and it appears as if there will he no end to it. A man from Eekley, who hail indulged I too freely in Freeland stimulents on Suuday, became lost while on his way home, and after doing considerable yelling was taken in and cared for over | night by one of our residents. Mike Selenskey, who was shot some time ago, resumed work on Tuesday. John Moser called on friends here on Sunday. John J. McNamara was off work for several days on account of sickness. Robbing on the highway seems to be played out at present. We suppose it's too far from pay day. Pat Murrin has resumed work after being idle for several weeks on account of sickness. Miss Maggie O'Donnell, of Philadel phia, is home visiting relatives. We have heard nothing from Con gressman Mines since last week, and we are about concluding that he is elected now. If we can't get a postoffice estab lished here without sending a delegation to Washington it is very queer. It is said one of our young men will join the Order of Benedicts before the lenten season sets in. The King of Trolley Line*. On Tuesday a charter was granted to a company which will construct the longest trolley line in the state. The name of the concern is the Northumber land, Bloomshurg and Scranton Street Railway Company, with main office at Hazleton. The capital is $500,000, and the line rung from Northumberland through Cameron and Chulaski to Danville, thence to Mechanicville, Ridgeville, Cat awissa Junction, Catawissa, Rupert. Bloomshurg, Espy, Lime Ridge, Willow Grove, Briar Creek, Berwick, across the Susquehanna to Nescopeck, back to Ber wick; thence to Beach Haven, Hicks Ferry, Shickshinny, llunlocks Creek, West Nanticoke, Nanticoke, returning to West Nanticoke; thence to Avondale, Plymouth, Kingston, Bennett, Maltby, Wyoming, West Pittston, Pittston, Dur yea, Lackawanna, Taylorsville, Belle vue, ending at Scranton, returning to Northumberland by same route. The line laid out runs parallel with the track of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad throughout its en tire length of about eighty miles. An excellent pike road winds along the val ley of the north branch of the Susque hanna, which, when not covered by flood waters, affords an excellent foun dation for the tracks of an electric rail way. The progress of this experiment in rapid transit between distant points will he noted by the public with no little interest. The incorporators are: President, J. R. Coyle, Shenandoah; directors, IT. O. liodgers, George 11. Troutman, T. 11. Hutchison, George A. Wilkinson, L. O. Emerich, Dominic F. Sweeney, A. T. McAllister, Hazleton. K. G. E. State Officer*. The unofficial returns of 465 castles of the Knights of the Golden Eagle, in Pennsylvania, show the following vote for grand castle officers: Grand chief—F. A. Harris, Tvrone, 2928.

Grand trustee —Jos. N. liuch, Phila delphia, 2169; Sydney Maurice, Phila delphia, 090. Representative to the supreme castle —D. D. Blanch, Johnstown, 2890. Not Afraid of tlio Germ*. "Old paper money is ns full of bacterid as eups is full of meat," says a profes sional hacteroloftißt, who has made ex haustive researches in this particular field. The chief medical journal of Lon don says, "two hank notes were found containing 10,000 germs of various kinds. These averments are strengthened and sustained hy various examinations made by specialists in bacteriology, and the matter has assumed such an important phase in the dread of cholera visitation that congress will be asked to make pro visions for calling in old bank-notes, and making re-issues. Still, if one of the two English bank notes alluded to were handed to the editor hy any of our subscribers who are in arrears we would not stop to count up the 10,0(10 germs. We would Bimply stuff note, germs and risk intoour pocket with a look of satisfaction that would please a photographer. Good New. from Carbon. Jos. P. McDonald, the Democratic can didate for poor director, made a tour of the lower end of Carbon county this week, and from the state in which lie found political affairs there he lias no longer any donht of being el.-oted by a handsome majority. In fact throughout the entire portion of the district which Mr. McDonald has I so far visited, he lias received positive ' assurances ofsupport from both Demo crats and Republicans, besides an un usual amount of encouragement and aid in his canvass. A Japanese Supper. The members of the International . Order of the King's Daughters will give j a Japanese supper, to raise the neces ! sary funds to open a night school and reading room for miners, mechanics and apprentices. Kind friends will ren der vocal and instrumental music. Two evenings at the Freeland opera house, Thursday and Friday evenings, Febru- I ary 9 and 10, 1893. Tickets, 25 cents. FREELAND, LUZERNE COUNTY, PA., FEBRUARY 9, 1893. BLAINE'S PREDICTION HAWAIIAN DEVELOPMENTS HAVE FOLLOWED. Further In*truction* Are Expected From the Provisional Government Upon the steamer Which Is Due In San Francisco From Honolulu Wednesday. WASHINGTON, Feb. o.—No more complete | and striking expression of the American : view of the Hawaiian question can he found j perhaps than is contained in the dispatch of Secretary Blaine to Minister Comly, ' dated Dec. 1, 1881, some extracts from which are here given: In 30 years the United States has acquired a legitimately dominant influence in the North Pacific, which it can never consent to see decreased by the intrusion therein of any element of influence hostile to its own. The situation of the Hawaiian islands, giv ing them the strategic control of the north Pacific, brings their possession within the range of questions of purely American policy. We Started Hawaii's Growth. The treaty of 1875 gave to Hawaii its first great impetus in trade and developed that activity of production which has at tracted the attention of European powers anxious to share in the prosperity and ad vantages which the United States has created in midocean. From 1877, the first full year succeeding the conclusion of the reciprocity treaty, to 1880 the imports from Hawaii to the United States nearly doubled, increasing from $2,550,335 in value to $4,606,444, and in this same period the exports from the United States to Hawaii rose from $1,272,949 to $2,020,170. In a word, Hawaii is, by the wise and benefi cent provisions of the treaty, brought within the circle of the domestic trade of the United States. On the other hand, the interests of Hawaii must inevitably turn toward the United States in the future, as in the present, as its natural and sole ally in conserving the dominion of both in the Pacific trade. Foretold With Accuracy. The United States does its simple duty both to Hawaii and itself, and it cannot permit such obvious neglect of national in terest, as would be involved by silent ac quiescence in any movement looking to a lessening of those American ties and the substitution of alien and hostile interests. It firmly believes that the position of the Hawaiian islands, as the key to the domi nation of the American Pacific, demands their neutrality, to which end it will ear nestly co-operate with the native govern ment. And if through any cause the main tenance of such a position of neutrality should he found by Hawaii to be imprac ticable, this government would then un hesitatingly meet the altered situation by seeking an avowedly American solution for the grave issues presented. Tlie Hawaiian CommUaioiier*. The commissioners have not yet been re ceived by President Harrision, and this fact is causing some comment. They ap pear quite satisfied with their status, how ever, and one of them said that they did not expect an audience with the president till he had been fully satisfied of their right to act and of the merits of their case. The most important feature of the information expected on the arrival of the steamer at San Francisco is that concern ing the attitude of the deposed queen. The administration feels that it should not act without giving Liliuokalani op portunity to present her side of the case. There are many who contend that she rep resents the native element of the island as against the wealthy foreign element which has now set up the provisional govern ment. The cabinet meeting revealed that thcro was substantial unanimity among the cabinet officers as to unnexiug the is lands. Connecticut River ltallroud Leased. SPRING FIKLD, Mass., Feb. 4. —The Con necticut River railroad was this noon leased by the Boston and Maine for 99 years, and President McLeod has already taken pos session. He has appointed George F. Evans as general manager. Mr. Evans has been superintendent of the Lowell division for some time.

I'sed In Filling Up Abandoned Working*, Tlion rillars Can be Taken Out. From Wilkes-Barre comes the report of an innovation that means the reclaim ing of millions of tons of coal, which has been introduced by the Lehigh and Wilkes-Barre Coal Company. The plan is to carry the culm hack into the mines hy means of water. This culm solidifies and liolds up the surface so that the pil lars can be removed. The company lias just contracted for an eight-inch bore hole to be sunk over the abandoned workings of the Nottingham at Ply mouth. It will penetrate to a depth of nearly 700 feet, and then will he used to Hush the worked-out portions of the mine with culm. Under the present system only forty to fifty per cent, of coal can he taken out, the remainder being left as supports and pillars. Under this flushing process a new support is furnished, and new breasts can he driven around the solidi fied culm, thus making it possible to take out all but five per cent, of the entire deposit of coal as it originally existed. These possibilites reveal a new future of things. It is to be expected that the system will before long he generally adopted, though by these operations just inaugu rated at what is now the greatest shaft in the world, the first seal of approval has been set by one of the big compan ies. The area of old workings to he im mediately flushed at the Nottingham will include nearly fifty acres. In a few months, if necessary or desirable, the remaining coal in this area can he taken out —a quanity fully as great as has been before removed. The system, besides reclaiming mil lions of dollars' worth of coal that it was thought never could he mined, is also though to he the solution of the culm hank problem, for thus hundreds of acres of surface lands will be reclaimed. The method of sinking the present big eight-inch bore is new, as far as its application to such a large opening is concerned. The boring is made by use of small steel shot being rubbed into the rock under the perimeter of the eight inch tube. It requires hut a pound or two of the shot to sink the drill ten feet through solid rock, and the method is much cheaper and fully as rapid as by means of the old diamond drill. A Grand Entertainment. There is certainly a good time in store for everybody who attends the World's Fair Monster Minstrels, under the di rection of Edward Faas, at the opera house on Saturday evening, February 25. The first part includes thirty-five people in burnt cork, introducing comic songs, ballads, choruses, quartettes, witticisms, etc. This is ended with a comic sketch, "The Hen-Pecked Husband." Part second introduces Faas and Woodring in a new piece entitled, "Scraps," with a budget of new songs. This is followed hy a grand musical programme by the famous P. O. S. of A. hand, under the leadership of Mr. Ario P. Mayberry, and includes selections and solos by Miss Annie Cunnius, Mas ter Morgan DeFoy, J. 11. Troell, Ario P. Mayberry and Win. Troell. The curtains falls on the funny of funniest comedies, "One Night in a Hotel." Seats are now on sale at Faas' store. Cbnnged Their Renideuce. Sheriff Robinson and nine deputies left Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday for Phila delphia with nine prisoners recently sentenced to the eastern penitentiary. The prisoners, their crimes and sen tences are as follows: Geo. W. Thomas, robbery, one year three months; David Albertina, manslaughter, four years three months; John Demstock, Joseph Kessasdo and George Koshock, assault ing an old woman at Jeddo, three years three months each; George Cooper, for gery, two years three months; William Rogers, forgery and horse stealing, one year six months; John Wiliick, felon ious wounding, six years three months; F.

JeaiieHvillu's Hall Team. The Jeanesville team for tho coming year is about completed, and some few changes have been made, says the Stan dard. The club as far as known will he as follows: Catchers, Brady and Fair hurst; pitchers, Sellers and Seeds; Ist base, Simmons; 2nd base, Ward; short stop, Uhlam; 3d base, Miller; fielders, Bachman, Smear and Hayes. Of the catchers little can he said, as both are well known. Sellers last year played with the Camden team, while Seeds made quite a record for himself | with the Tacony club. Miller, who is assigned to third base, played with Eas ton last season, anil Hayes, one of the new fielders, finished in a similar posi tion last year with the Williamsport team. Accented an Agency. Jacob B. Zeigler, of Washington street, lias accepted the agency for Koal spar, a powder which when dissolved in water and sprinkled over coal, will re sult in a great saving of that fuel and will cause it to give forth more heat. It also prevents the formation of clinkers in grates. lie lias given the article a severe test during the past few months, and accepted the position of general agent only after he was convinced that, it would do all the manufacturers claimed for it. Sam ple packages will be furnished hy Mr. Zeigler to any person desiring to give ; Koal-spar a lair trial.
