I'leiu generally throughout the state are lgltming to t'urtiment on the pospihlo candiilates lor governor next year and their chances oT elect ion. So far most of them are non-cominit-tul as to individual preferences hut those spenking urge that the candi date should be free from entangling factional alliances. The disastrous Dclamater campaign of 1H!)0 is point ed to as a warning of what may hap pen if the nhovc injunction is not heeded. There Is no reason that Is, no suflicient reason why the republicans of the state should not nominate a man for whom the whole party will vote. That a man can lie elected, counting even on a consider able (lefeiction because of the large normal majority in the state, is no reason why lie should be nominated lie should not be. There are many men with an ambition to be governor but ambitions should not be made paramount in the selection of a can didate. The governor Is the head of the. ticket and should add to Its strength. There are the local candi dates, 4he congressmen, the repre' sentatives, and they are entitled to the aid which a strong name at the head will give. They should not be compelled to carry the load of an iiu popular, nomination, or while the head of the ticket might be elected the defection of a few votes in a close district might defeat the congressman and this result be attributed wholly to an . unfortunate nomination for governor. Surely there are men In the state, many of them, wb" would make excellent chief magistrates and who have not been so identified with factions as to make them obnoxious to any considerable number of voters. Men on whom all would unite if proper spirit guided public senti ment. The proper thing to do Is to let the nominee represent the popu lar sentiment, let the people and not the bosses make the nomination, and then the eopIe will be responsible for the election. In view of what has been the rule in this state the above may sound Utopian but there seems to be ample reason to believe that the time has come to somewhat change the rule if the party is to retain its prestige. Whether the nnmler of smallpox cases reported to exist in various sections is exaggerated or not, it is certain that the disease is spreading and as it especially thrives in cold weather it behooves everyone to ex ercise due precaution. School boards are authorized by law to or. ganize and exercise the functions of boards of health. It would be well for those bodies iu the several town ships to lie prepared for an emer gency, which may arise at auy time, by having an organization bo that there need be no UuUy if lieoebsity for prompt action arises. Miss Ann Dakr is visiting friends lu Kew York this week. A considerable wreck happened OU the Erin nunc Port Jervis Tues day evening occasioned by the milk train rui.nihg into the rear end of a St iik height. iSuveial drovers in the csibooMi and s.niie of tlie train men were inj nvd. Only four ohei-p wi-ie kilh-d by d.,s in tiiis county in jynl. The damage was t'.'t and the cU 13, iiril.u.;.j a to'itl of f.ll. paid out by THE CHURCH COLUMN (Ily 1!kv. ('. K.

In the evening there will be a selection entitled, "Silent night," by our male quartet. We are taking up some st.mlies In the life of Chr'st in our Junior League. One hundred questions have been arranged, tho answers to which will give n connected and somewhat complete knowledge of the life of our L rd. We believe that no study can result in more good to those in flm senior dephit ment of our Junior Leigua. A clear nnd definite knowledge of the Ufa of Him who is our redeemer and example will bo of inestimable value in living a devout-Christian life. The Christmas service will be held on Wednesday evening, when the Christmas tree will drop its fruits In the hands of tlie scholars and the entertainment of song and recitation will bo given. We are thankful for the faithfulness of the teachers and officers of tho school, and anticipate a very enjoyable time. We call the attention of the children and tho patents to the faithful work that is being done and ask that a little extra- thought be given to the sacrifices that are made. Lot all of us express to those that labor for the good of our children our heartfelt gratitude. It does us all good to know that our work is appreciated. The usual nnnti week of prayer will be observed. Full pirticulars will be given next week. We believe that "in union there is strength," and esp ci illy in church work. Onr library comnii.teo has been busy reading books for our Sabbath school library. It. is a gooi.' thing to have some competent persons to read books that are able to be placed In the hands of our young people It la a good thing also that the Book Concern is willing to send ont. books on approval, allowing us to return all that we do not desire. Our li brary fund ia continually swelling, thus giving us the privilege of keep ing it replenished. Lillie Bock, wife or Dr. N. B. Johnson of Shohola, died Tuesday after an illness of several months of oancor of tho stomach aged about forty-two years. Besides her hus band, the well known physician, she ia survived by two sisters and three brothers. The people at Btishkill are arrang ing to secure a minister for the Reformed church of that place and 1300 towards a salary fund has leen subscribed. Hon. R. L. Burnett of Strouds burg has announced himself a candi datefor president judge of this dis trict. After Jan. 2, 1901, it will be un lawful in this state for first cousins to marry and any such marriages thereafter contracted will be void. hr! if irr''- LiMv4 vii' - You have used all sorts of cough reme dies but it does not yield i it is too deep seated.

The teachers fro u Ureene return ed from the institute at Milford and repoit among other things "11 good time." All were well pleased with Dr. and Mrs. King's lectures. Miss Oi ra Huffier suffered quite a loss before reaohlng home. On account of the recent heavy rains nil the ft renins in this vicinity swelled to ovarflowing doing great damage to bridges, dams and build ings. B. F. ICipp's family, with whom MissllalHer was stopping, was com pelled to leave the house in a boat Saturday night Mr. Kipp's wagon House wit 11 all Its contents was washed away. T. H. Gilpin suffered a loss of nearly 1500. The smaller bridges hot ween rloucktown and ureentown were carried away. All agree that It was the highest water ever known in thh vicinity in some cases there being two or three feet of water on the planks of the Iron bridges. It would be impossible to estimate the damage at present but it will probably reach thousands of dollars along the Paupack alone. Mrs. Charlotte Sanders, who has been ill, is getting better. J. H. Becltar of Ledgedalo Is under the doctor's care. Wo understand he has pneumonia. The house of Alex. Hoover was surrounded with water and the in mates were rescued In boats. The family of B. F. Kipp, which includ ed Miss Huffier, a teacher, was also rescued with boats. His wagons and farm utensils were all carried awiiy. The county bridge at his place is now some 400 feet from the stream, which now follows the road. Kipp'a orchard is ruined, his farm u wreck and his barn is most ly without foundations. His loss will reach 700. William Carlin lost considerable loose property and also his pigs. Lewis Wieland lives on an is land, the creek having left ils bed and tore through the flats above. The dam at E. F. Ljw's mill broke !id 1' gs, lumber, the biidge and part of the old mill were carried away.

The latter bnrstod and in oonsequonce our roads and bridges are gone, and tax payers contem plating the probable special road tax next year look blue, but some supervisors who sea many days of work nhead are smiling. Siine of our roads are badly washel, in fact only deep gullies remain, but, the gutters, filled with leaves and twigs which turned the water in the roads, are in nuiny cases not dis turbed and are several feet above danger . line. .All authorities on good roads complain, that roads are not properly .-worked and some of the reasons are that some supervis ors, want to make, too much money out of tha-i A) and to do not perma nently repair but only patch up the bad places. Tlie'' gutters are not kept cleaned on,t(so. the water la turned in the road.. Wira fencing is not used beca use, this would obvi ate snow drifts In winter. The cost of cleaning the 'roads of drifts lu one winter would buy all the wire necessary to fence them and put it up, too. The Auditors at settlement day should enquire whether super visors presenting bills for extra work were careless 41 ml neglectful of their dutiesaudascertain whet her they are not really to blame in many cases for the conditions which 1; were favorable to causing damage. If officers wore held to stricter ac countability the 'tax- payers would suffer less and there is no good rea son why roadmasters should not he compelled to perforin their duties in keeping tile roads in a fairly secure condition. . 1 Our teacher Spoke very well about keeping order in his school but if possible it should be kept without a hickory withe; if not, then use the willow, nnd if neces sary with snffintant animation to make enough rag out of the boys' jackets witl which to clean up thu blackboards ' If this is done with discretion people' won't liegrndge the teacher board tor cabbage is cheap.
