A MATTER OF SIOO.
Figures Altered in Agreement Between
Architect and Borough.
Owing to the absence of a quorm tho
borough council failed to meet Tuesday
evening. Last evening, however, six of
the members, Messrs. Kline, Davis,
Mulhearn, DePicrro, Rute and Rude
wick, got together, and before they ad
journed some more damaging evidence
of jobbery and high-handod scheming
was produced. Fortunately tho few
members of council who are protecting
the citizens' interests against the as
saults of their avaricious colleagues and
other plunderers were strong enough in
numbers last evening to expose the
crooked work that is being engineered
by a clique which apparently believes
tho borough can bo fleeced without
protest from the taxpayers.
As reported in the proceedings of the
last meeting, tho motion to designate
Frank Salmon as architect of the bor
ough building and to pay him SSOO for
his plans was rushed. At that meet
ing Councilinen Mulhearn and Rude
wick wore absent.
Last night Mr. Mulhearn called
attention to tho fact that the contract
made with tho architect was for S4OO for
the plans, not SSOO, and asked for an
explanation as to how the figures
changed during the time between the
conference with the architect and tho
meeting of council.
The architect admitted that he alter
ed the figures.
Councilmeu Rudewick and Mulhearn
then entered their objections to such
high-handed work and demanded that
the matter bo referred to the borough
solicitor. A motion to this effect was
made.
Councilmeu DoPiorro and Rute spoke
in defense of the architect's action and
resented all efforts to investigate tho
matter.
Tho vote on tho motion to refer tho
question to the solicitor was a tie,
Messrs. Kline, Rudewick and Mulhearn
voting for it, while Messrs. DePicrro,
Davis and Rute opposed the action.
The discussion was spirited while it
lasted, and the manner in which some
of tho members took offense at insinua
tions of "there being something in it"
do not go very far in altering general
opinion that a conspiracy exists among
certain councilinen to lake care of
interests other than those of tho tax
payers in tho erection of the proposed
borough building, indisputable evi
dence to prove the above is being gath
ered, and again the TRIBUNE calls upon
tho councilinen to beware, for the citi
zens of Freeland aro in no mood to
trifie with wrong-doers.
Treasurer DePicrro reported a bal
ance in tho treasury of $5.44.
Tho committee on the Carbon-Ridge
street sewer was ordered to report at
the next meeting.
On motion tho names of certain streets
in the South Heborton portion of town
were changed, as follows: Main street, j
South Ilcborton, to Schwabe street;'
Centre street, Alvintown, to Alvin
street; Chestnut street, Alvintown, to
Dcwoy street; tho road leading from
Alvin street to Highland to bo Oak
street.
The street committee was instructed
to have boards with names of streets
placed In position.
Tho fire and water committee was in
structed to advertise for proposals for
the installation of an electric tiro alarm
system.
Council will meet tomorrow evening.
Unstamped Cigar Sellers Caught.
Former Deputy Revenue Collector
Ivear, of Pottsvllle, unearthed tho illicit
soiling of unstamped cigars and tobacco
at McAdoo and Kelayres, Schuylkill
county. He obtained the information
against Dominic Chappone, of McAdoo,
and furnished it to his successor, Major
Evans, who has arrested Chappone.
United States Commissioner Woltjen
bound the defendant over for a hearing
in tho United States district court at
Philadelphia. Other arrests are to fol

A FLAGCAMPAIGN.
Quay Exploits the Tenth Kegiment
For the -Machine.
SOLDIERS MONOPOLIZE STUMP.
The Republican State Committee Pays
the Expenses of tlio Tenl h Regiment
to the Dewey Celebration In New
York—Can the Fine Save the Im
periled Machine?
(Special Correspondence.)
Philadelphia. Oct. 2. —As patriotism,
according to old Ben Jonson, is the last
refuge of a scoundrel, so the waving of
the flag and an appeal to the martial
spirit of the electors is the final re
source of the Quay machine driven to
hay and waiting for the fatal shot to
he fired into its gangrened carcass.
It is no secret that Boss Quay was
seriously thinking of an abandonment
of his originally proposed "rally 'round
the flag, boys," and God-bless-MoKin
jey campaign, suppressing the leather
lung and brass throated stump scream
er—preferring to trust his luck to the
indifference of the people and on the
principle illustrated by the following
story:
"Dad," said the youthful citizen of
Dead Man's Gulch, "thar's a big rat
tlesnake under the bed." "All right,"
replied the old man, composedly, "jist
let him stay thar—kase ef you pester
the varmit he'll spring his rattle and
wake yer mom, and then that'll be the
devil to pay."
But a howl of protest wentupagainst
a Quaker meetin' campaign from
county chairmen and local candi
dates. In a great many counties
that contain the seeds of revolution
that were planted at previous upris
ings against the Republican machine
the insurgents are either sullen or
openly threatening, making things look
ns blue as indigo for the county tickets.
The party henchmen and the nervous
candidates, therefore, stretched out
their hands to the boss, appealing like
shipwrecked mariners for him to throw
out (he life line or Davy Jones' locker
or Mr. McGinty's mishap would be
their fate.
BRING FORTH THE STARRY FLAG.
Hence, it has been decided to at
tempt to arouse the dormant party
spirit and to impress the lukewarm
Republicans with the fearful import
ance of paying a visit to the polls and
voting early and often that the im
perialistic policy of McKinley and
Hannti of making American citizens of
the Filipinos with the aid of Krag-
Jorgensen bullets may be upheld in
pidentally and Quay permitted to re
gain the keys of trfie state treasury
vaults.
Keeping the martial and fluttering
flag campaign ever in view Chairman
Reeder has been directed to turn Colo
nel Barnett loose and allow him to
"swing around the circle." Two mili
tary parties of campaign orators have
been organized to sally forth from
Harrisburg, one headed by the youth
ful Barnett and Including a number of
the members of the Tenth regiment
who intend to vote for the colonel
for state treasurer and the other com
posed of professional soldier political
swashbucklers like General Gobin and
Colonel Tom Stewart. This last band
of grim warriors wear the service
stripes of long and patient office hold
ing. Gobin as a political Poo Bah. like
: old Sol Gill's watch, is "equaled by
few and excelled by none." and can
be depended upon implicitly to "put
his foot" in it by making some bad
break of speech, as he did during the
senatorial deadlock last spring anl
again at the Williams' Grove Granger
picnic.
Colonel Tom Stewart's greed for of
fice is not yet appeased, anu he has
a latest patent lightning rod up in
hope that the next governorship will
strike him. Colonel Stewart was a
warrior of great prowess in the civil
Iwar. A story is related of him. At
.the first day's light at Gettysburg Tom
'had pileu the rebel dead in a great
heap under the withering Are of his
Springfield, when the attention of his
colonel was attracted to his fearful
execution. The colonel riding up to
him and pointing to the pyramid of
his slain said: "Tom, cease firing anu
go home; you've killed enough."
WELL. WHY DIDN'T HE REMAIN?
This martial array of shoulder strap
jped and gold laced orators Is cunning
jly intended to divert the attention of
|the ring enslaved people from the
'.home issues that directly concern them
most. It is the ingenious policy of
European rulers and statesmen when
[their people become unrestful and
threaten to bring out the block and the
[ax to divert their minds from their
domestic troubles with a comic opera
J imbroglio with some obliging power
This is what Quay, crafty and foxy, is
doing, but the Democratic leaders and
'candidates mean to keep him to his
mutton.
It will be interesting to note Colonel
Barnett's elation voice ringing out that
ja vote for Colonel Barnett is a vote to
sustain the Hanna-McKinley subjuga
tion of the Philippines in direct eonlra
jvention of the immortal aphorism of
:the constitution of the United States
[that "all men are created free and
.equal."
i If it is essential that Pennsylvania
'shall vote to keep Quay's stork spec
julatlve grip o the state treasury in
[order to sustain the American position
iln the Orient why was it that Colonel
llnrnett deemed it wise and patriotic
,to return to Ills native shores from tlio
[Philippines, and thus weaken the
hands of President McKinley? Colonel
Barnett had the opportunity of re-en
listing in Manila, but he preferred his
Blackstone to a sword; he preferred
running for office in Pennsylvania to
running after the Filioinos with a CUD

MITCHELL'S
ALL STAR PLAYERS.
Week of October 23.
in ms nana, men, too, the state
treasurer should he a business man.
Colonel Burnett is a gallant soldier,
who braved Mauser bullets and disease
In the far off swamps of T.uzon, but
because he is a soldier and a lawyer,
sans a practice or reputation, does not
prove him possessed of the qualifica
tions of a financier. But light here, it
may be, is where General Gobin's ex
planation will fit as a piece of joiner
work. The office snatching Gobin con
fessed to the grangers at the William's
iOrove picnic that "the state treasurer
is only a clerk." Colonel Barnett
might, as state treasurer, make an
excellent and satisfactory clerk for his
boss, which his name is Quay, but the
[Contention of the Democrats is to ele
vate this office from the lot of a mere
clerk into a dignified state official,
who will own himself, and will carry
out his campaign pledges to the people
and "open the hooks."
HIPPODROMING THE TENTH.
Senator Quay could never be induced
to persuade President McKinley to
make the late Colonel Hawkins, the
heroic commander of the Tenth regi
ment, and who "died with his boots
on," a brigadier general. But Quay has
no qualms about hippodroming Colo
nel Hawkins' regiment and exhibiting
it as a Barnum's show to save his own
hide and tallow.
There should have been enough pa
triotism among the money kings of
Pittsburg and its wealthy vicinity to
have paid the hills for sending the
"Fighting Tenth" to New York's jubi
lation over Admiral Dewey. It is no
torious, however, that the Republican
Btate committee a la Jones, "paid the
freight," not so much to exhibit the
sunburned heroes in the streets of New
York as to to display them as Philip
pine curios and as an advertisement
through the state of Pennsylvania and
in Philadelphia for the Republican
state ticket and Colonel Barnett for
state treasurer.
However, let this political trick pass
for whatever it may be worth. The
"sojer" boys were cheered and feasted
and champagned and kissed by good
looking young girls, hugged by older
ones and divided the honors of the
New York jubilee with the hero of
Manila bay himself. While the Tenth
was in Philadelphia individual mem
bers were interviewed as to the reports
that had been in private circulation
that Colonel Barnett is unpopular
in the regiment. It was established
that the gallant colonel is the unfortu
nate victim of cephalic elephantiases,
or Napoleonic head, and is a bit of a
martinet, which frequently accompa
nies this malady.
His men resented his treatment of
them, and his indifference to their
comfort and well being. They recall
that while they were fighting Colonel
Barnett was recruiting in the United
States. It was also proven by these
interviews what Congressman Acheson
maintained in protesting to Quay
against (Colonel Barnett's selection for
state treasurer, that the bulk of the
Tenth regiment would oppose him and
vote against him. So unpopular is the
colonel in western Pennsylvania,
where he has the reputation of having
for years kicked against the regular
Republican organization, that the state
committeo will keep him cnmpalging
on the eastern side of the Alleghenies,
leaving "the warriors bold"—Gobin
and Stewart—to drape themselves in
the folds of the American flag on the
other side of the mountains and shout
for lead and sword as the true gospel
of American civilization and citizen
ship for the niggers of the Philippines.
MARTIN GIVES A CRUMB OF COM
FORT.
State Senator David Martin, the In
surgent chieftain of Philadelphia, has
created more than a flutter in the Quay
dovecote by an interview, in which he
makes the prediction that a light vote
will he polled at the November elec
tion. and says the hippodroming of the
Tenth regiment is a mistake and will
react. This is significant, coming from
a politician of Martin's importance and
girth, since it means that the anti-
Quay insurgents have nn understand
ing that they will go fishin' on elec
tion day. This "wise man of the east"
also ventures the assertion that the
vote that will go into the Philadelphia
boxes will lie honest, and that, better
still, it will he honestly counted by the
uratcssiuuul lightning calculators.
