Tho Democratic ticket of the borough is one that should bo supported by tho party, not only because Democrats are 011 it, but because the candidates are first-class men, qualified for the offices they seek, and are broad-minded and liberal, just the class of people who should have charge of municipal affairs. Foster Democrats are not dismayed by the big odds against thorn, and the offi ces were in as great demand last night as over. There Is a lot of the old fight ing spirit in the township yet, and with a dissatisfied opposition tho men nomin ated will make it an interesting contest. There is some talk of an independent Republican ticket in Foster township. The revolt there is growing stronger daily. The Democratic candidates of the bor ough will meet at 7.30 o'clock this even ing at the hotel of Peter Tlmony to make arrangements for tho campaign. The Democratic nominee for poor di rector is Percy Faust, publisher of the Weatherly Herald. Mr. Faust has been a loyal Democrat for many years, and his nomination ought to be followed by his election. He will make an excellent poor director. A resolution declaring against the pro posed division of Luzerne county was approved by the delegates attending the Democratic borough convention. It does not represent the feeling here, and an injustice was done the candidates by making tho new county question a par tisan one at this time. At the Opera Hoime. Kitty Rhodes and her company played before a good audience on Monday even ing. On Tuesday evening tho house contained more people and last evening tho audience was still larger. This shows that her plays and tho players are of the kind that suit Froeland's opera goers, and it must be said of them they have given better satisfaction than any company that appeared here this season. Miss Rhoadcs, in tho leading role each evening, deserves the highest praise for her painstaking and correct portrayal of the diversified characters she assumes, and her company is so evenly balanced that individual mention is unnecessary. It is sufficient to say that each member is a thorough actor. The two little chil dren, Maud and Jessie, are drawing no small portion of tho crowds with their pleasing songs and dances. Tonight, "The Blue and Gray;" Friday night, "East Lynne;" Saturday matinee, "Booties' Baby;" Saturday evening, "Hearts of Gold." Ho** Held Tor Trial. Goorgo Hess, of Butler Valley, who was arrested sometime ago charged with making whiskey without a license, was given a further hearing before United States Commissioner Hill at liazleton on Tuesday. United States Attorney Sam uel B. Griffiths, of Pittsburg, conducted the examination. Mr. and Mrs. Shive, of Butler, testified that they knew tho defendant had sold whisky of his own manufacture to the miners at Eborvale tunnel. No trace of the still has yet been found, although a search of tho premises lias been made. The prisoner was hold in 9500 bail to appear at tho next term of circuit court, to be held at Scranton, on March 25. A 11111 to Tax Aliens. Representaivc Biddle, of Bedford, In troduced a bill in the house at Harris burg last week, providing for levying a tax annually upon every alien in the commonwealth who had not taken out naturalization papers or declared his in tention to become a citizen. The annual tax shall be S3 for aliens who have re sided in the country for three months, q,nd for those residing over that time the an nual tax will be $5. This fund is to be kept by the county treasurers separate distributed to the various townships and boroughs for tip* purpose of road im provement. A further provision is made for the collection of this tax by the per sons or linns by whom they are em ployed. FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, JANUARY 31, 1895. CHURCH CHIMES.

Freeland, January 30, 1895. EDITOR TRIBUNE. —WiII you please insert in the columns of your paper what I think of the Republican conven tion last ovening. As a citizen of Free land I think it was a two-sided affair, namely, in nominations. If the Repub licans are to be run in that way I think ii would be better for the citizens who are not in the ring to stay at home. As a candidate for assessor I was spoken of as a man not qualified for the office. But let the man who said so understand that if the defeated could not build a house he can pretty well tell the value as well as the one nominated. I suppose ho thinks there are no brains behind the drill. In the nominations for school director did you ever know such a two-sided affair? One, an official of the township, had the audacity to speak of his election as being sure if the party would stand to him. Mark, self praiso is not a re commendation. The convention is past but the third Tuesday in February is to come and that will tell tin; truth. No more dirty work. A CITIZEN. UPPER LEHIGH NOTES. Robert Williams is lying dangerously ill with an attack of pleurisy. The Freeland opera house Is being well patronized by the young people of tliis place this week. P. F. Carr is around again after being confined to his home for several weeks with a severe attack of rheumatism. This has been a week of idleness at the collieries here, and there is no cer tainty of them starting before Monday. The efforts of some of Froeland's coun cil men to have the electric road extend ed to this place Is highly appreciated by our people. A scrap at South Hoberton was the attraction for some of our boys last night. Herman Redosky, who has been on a trip to Germany during the past two months, has returned home. Several of our young men have become so proficient on skates that they are looking about to arrange a match with skaters of other towns. Now County Affair*. At a hearing 011 Tuesday beforo the senate committee, which has charge of the now county bill, the opponents of the measure from Schuylkill county withdrew all opposition. The county commissioners, Senator Coylo and others acknowledged that in the face of such strong demands and evidence as was presented, that the now county should not be fnrthor opposod by thorn. This is considered quite a victory. At a meeting held under tho auspices of the Wilkos-Harre board of trade 011 Tuesday evening resolutions against the now county worn adopted. A letter was also read from E. A. Oborronder, secre tary of Hon. E. 11. Coxo, in which it is stated that Mr. Coxo has not changed his opinion in regard to the now county scheme, which he considers unwise. Eckley Fair. The contest for tho doll at the Eckley fair will come off on Saturday evening next. A large attendance is expected. A valuable door prlzo will bo ottered and somo fancy articles disposed of. The great event of tho fair, the closing of the contest for the lady's gold watch, will take place on Saturday, February, 33. Tho valuable sideboard contest will take place on March 17.
