POLITICS IN FOSTER.!
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

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.

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.

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.

CULM BANKS TO GO.
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.

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

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

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.
