EDITOR TBIBUNE. —I was amused while reading the latest production of '•Extra" in the current issue of the Progress. Verily, "the mountain hath been in labor and brought forth a mouse." After taking a whole week to consult with the "boys" this counsel general of the citizens of Freeland occu pies one foot of valuable space, in which lie manages to say nothing, but careful ly avoids the only point of controversy between us—namely, what is free edu cation? This fair-weather patriot while masquerading as an exponent of "free education," crouches behind a non-de plume to shoot his poisoned arrows at a man who is his superior morally and intellectually, and for what reason? Simply because this man avails himself of the God-given right to educate his children where he sees fit. This man "Extra" is simply a drawling, crawling creature who belongs away back in the fifteenth century; a man who preys on the prejudices that unfortunately exist wherever ignorance obtains; a man who would appeal to the lowest passions the ilesh is heir to; who would array God's children in brutal sectarian strife; a snake in the grass who would crush liberty in the name of patriotism to ac complish his personal ends. When caught iu his own meshes this groat patriot ignores and evades the only point at issue and, parrot-like, chirps "new school," "abominable de ceiver," "you'r un-American," "you'r a liar," etc., etc.. but not one word about the only point at issue—"free educa tion." Oh, no, this narrow nincompoop has boon told by so mo kind friend that the "free education" ho advocates is not tho free education intended by the Declara tion of Independence and the constitu tion of tho United States, and ho wisely drops it and mounts the "now school" hobby. I have not said one word for or against the now school, yet I am told that "tho time is past when men of my calibre will try and light down such blessings," but ho carefully avoids the query in relation to the causes which compel parents to send their children to Ilazleton and Foster township to be educated. lie fails to state the fact that many parents were compelled to send their children to Foster schools be cause the principal of Freoland borough is incompetent and unable to advance them any further. The time is come when men of "my calibre" will arise boldly and indepen dently and denounce any attempt to curtail the liberty of even our humblest citizen. The time is come when all hon est men will arise in their might and stamp out every attempt to rekindle the fires of proscription and religious hate. Tho tlmo has come when no shallow domogoguo masquerading as a patriot can use the public press to advocate principles that are un-Cliristrian, un- American and unpatriotic, and win public approbation. Tho time is come when all true Americans will rise in their might in defense of free educa tion, good schools, competent teachers, honest and capable directors, and the right to worship God as your conscience d ictat.es. "Extra" says that my 1 otter was un- American and insinuates that I am not a citizen. My friend is simply "specu lating," forgetful of the fact that specu lation is dangerous as many citizens of this vicinity can testify. He seems to have very warped ideas as to what con stitutes patriotic citizens. The new school building confines his mental vis ion within a very limited radius. He cannot comprehend the broad fact that patriotism like nature loves all lands. Hungary had her Kossuth, Poland her Koscioski, England her Byron, her Burke and her Gladstone, Ireland had her Emmet, her William Smith O'Brien, her Mitchell, her Martin, her Parnell, the grand galaxy of names that adorn the pages of her history—the Protestant apostles of Catholic Ireland, Hcotland had her Wallace and Bruce, France had her Lafayette, America had her Wash ington, her Jefferson and Lincoln, and so it is ail along the line in every nook on God's foot-stool. It is not a manu factured commodity. Men inhale it in the air they breathe, Th° proposition to con line patriotism within curtain geograplcal limits is preposterously ab surd. You might as well try to bottle up the air and sunshine. The founda tion of patriotism Is invariably laid when the little boy is lisping the Lord's prayer at the knee of a noble Christian mother. .Patriotism is the essence of honesty *>■*' - • -■ .. . mingled with an ardent lovo for the wel fare of our fellow man, carried to the point of self-sacrifice. A certain patriot named Washington over one hundred years ago captured many prisoners in battle down on the Delaware and sent them up to the bleak mountains of Pennsylvania to earn their bread by the sweat of their brow. These prisoners were a mercenary horde who were imported from the continent by the tyrant English king to crush the spirit of patriotism that animated the sturdy cblonists to take up arms in de fense of their homes and liberties. These men were called Ilcssians and despised by everyone, but one hundred years has worked a complete transfor mation. Their offspring are ardent pa triots. They have not yet arrived at the point of self-sacrifice it is true, but they are coming. They are now busily en gaged trying to bottle up the eternal principles of liberty and patriotism that illuminated the world for thousands of years and substitute it with a homo pro duct of their own manufacture. It is to be hoped that another hundred years will work a complete regeneration and enable them to behold the principles of patriotism and liberty in the fulness of its universal grandeur. To my fellow citizens of Freeland 1 extend the hand of fellowship and brotherly love across the bloody chasm this gilt-edged patriot is trying to dig. We are brothers, the children of a com mon Father, linked together in social intercourse and holy communion by bonds that are inseparable and any at tempt to sever them will provo futile. The man who would revive the prescrip tive spirit that prevailed away back in the fifties, is a knave or a fool or a com pound of both, and henceforth must part company with honest and intelli gent men. Mr. Editor, I have occupied more space than I intended, and in conclusion would make the following proposition: After the election is past and reason has resumed Its normal sphere, I am satis fied to cast away the non-de-plume and discuss this question with my friend, in the light of day, if he will do likewise. I will engage, to prove to the satisfac tion of all unbiased minds that I am his peer as a citizen and patriot. INDEPENDENT. DRIFTON ITEMS. John Curran, candidate for school di rector, is working diligently to secure his election. Mr. Curran is favorably known throughout the township, and the citizens here, in particular, should avail themselves of the opportunity to vote for a man who has the ability to fill the oilice satisfactorily. William Gross celebrated his forty first birthday yesterday. Mr. G is one of our esteemed residents and his friends here wish him many returns of the event. There was an Austrian wedding here on Saturday night. People of every nationality were present and spent a jolly night, Dogs managed to get in the hennery of James O'Donnell on Saturday night and carried off twelve line chickens. Perry and Geo. S. Wentz enjoyed a sleigh ride to Scranton last week. Andrew Brislin attended the funeral of his brother-in-law at Wilkes-Barre last week.

FREELAND, PA., MONDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1895. POLITICAL POINTERS. Freeland is a Democratic town by a large majority, and each of the candi dates, Messrs. Butter, Breslin, Timony, McCarthy, Gallagher and Myers should be elected to the offices they seek. If any of them fails it will cause trouble in future years. Democrats should not forget their can didates for poor officers tomorrow. Mr. Faust, of the Weatherly Ilcralxl , is a gentleman who would make an excellent director, and Mr. Sharpe, of Lansford, is well qualified for auditor. A plain ordinary victory will not satis fy the Democrats this year. Every man on the ticket should have a rousing ma jority. The votes are here and all that is necessary is to get them out and make a clean sweep. Candidates are working energetically to get out the full vote on Tuesday. There is but little noise on the surface, nevertheless both parties are leaving nothing undone. Foster Democrats are making a splendid uphill fight. The odds are against them, but they are hopeful. Freeland borough will have 1,350 offieiaWind 450 specimen ballots. Foster will have 2,025 official and 875 specimen. The Democrats of the third borough district propose to give the ticket a majority of no less than 75 votes. Mark your ballot as the specimen bal lot shown on the fourth page is marked. Two crosses (X) are sufficient, but be sure you get them right. There Is considerable uncertainty in the borough. This is the first municipal election since the consolidation, and it takes nervo to make a prediction of tomorrow's result. Don't be afraid to sacrifice a little time tomorrow to vote yourself, and when that is done go after your friends. Poll every Democratic vote in the bor ough. The ticket will be elected if this is done. The proposition to increase the school debt will be stubbornly contested. The opposition has conducted an agrcssive campaign, and the failure of the board to make public its plans has helped the opponents of the scheme wonderfully. Democratic Nominee for Poor Director. Percy E. Faust, of Weatherly, the Democratic candidate for poor direc tor. is making an active canvass for the office, but owing to a lack of time has been unable to call upon all the voters of this portion of the district. However, to those who have not the pleasure of ids acquaintance, the TRIBUNE can as sure them they have missed meeting a gentleman whose Democracy has never been questioned, one who has worked faithfully for every Democratic nominee iu the poor district, both personally and through his paper, the Herald. This Is the first time Mr. Faust has sought office, and would not now bo a candidate if any other had desired tlio honor. He accepted the place on the ticket at the solicitation of the convention, and a man who responds so willingly to his party's call should have every Demo cratic vote in the district. It is not alone for this that Mr. Faust should he elected, but because of his sterling qualities as a man and his ability to properly fulfill the duties of poor di rector. Let no Democratic forget to vote for him tomorrow. A Lucky Editor. Dr. Allen Norten Leete, editor of the Scranton Sunday JVew, lias been notified that lie lias been bequeathed sso,uuu bv the will of the late Henry 1!. Carey, of hos Angeles, Cal. Back of the bequest is the story of an unpaid dobt that brought the lender ultimately a compet ence for lifo. In 181)2 Dr. Leete loaned Cary SSOO, At that time both mon lived In Newark, N. J. Cary (migrated to California and made a fortune, but he never during his lifo time paid Leete bis money. When ho died, not long since, bis will was found to contain a clause acknowledging Ills debt to Leete and stating that the SSOO was the foundation of bis fortune and in consideration of this lie bequeathed him $50,000. KnuliHli llaptlst Church Notes. Special baptismal will bo held qt the church tomorrow evening, when a number of candidates will bo brought from liazleton and baptized by Rev. C. A. Spauldlng, of that city. The pastor, Rev. J. T. Oriffliths, will also preach a sermon on "The Design of Baptism." The Junior Baptist Society will give an entertainment and social at the church on Friday evening, the 22d just.

It is estimated that already over 50,000 tons of coal have been burn ed. To add to tho difficulty of fighting tho flames, there is a scarcity of water.
