WHAT ARE WE REPUBLK-
CANS GOING TO NC!

The democracy have managed to get two
Richmonds in the field for Representatives
this fall. and the question naturally arises,
what are we Republicans going to DO abont it
Shall we stand idly by, and, with folded arms
look complacently on at the battle between
the Carbonites and Monroeites, or, shall we
join forces with either and push the tide of
victory over to the faction we deign to favor?
We think neither horn of the dilemma should
be seized upon. 1t is true that the Republi-
cans of WAYNE and Pike have set us an exam
pie worthy of consideration, but we cannot
evade the thought that the better plan would
be to look out for ourselves and by nominat-
ing and voting for a straight-out Republican,
perfect our organization and strengthen our
lines not only for this falls campaign, but for
future operations "a well.
With the sguabbles and wrangles Of democ-
racy, we should have nothing to do, save TO
make them useful for the accomplishment OF
our own success and if this canno: be brought
about by collision with the Dimmickites or the
Kistlerites this fall, and We don't see how it
can, then let us do the other thing, and, in the
presentation of Republican candidate for the
Legislature, and voting for him, do what we
can towards bringing out the full Republican
vote for our excellent State ticket. This really
should and must be the design Of all our opera
tions, if we would do share towards keeping
our State Treasury and our Supreme Bench
from being manipulated for partizan ends and
aims. We deem it wrong at any time to fight
the battles of democracy, and especially, Is II
wrong now, when so much is at stake, to foregc
the privilege which should be blessed to
every Republican, of voting for Representa-
tive men of our own party, in preference to
voting for men from whom we can expec
nothing but opposition to our principles upon
every occasion.
1 But if we would do anything in this matte
we must begin at once. The time is too shor
for delay The candidate belongs to Monroe
Have we man willing to put himself befor'
the people? If so let us find it out at onc
and go to work for him. If we have not sucl
a man, as it matters but little as to locality, bu
much as to principle, let us request our Repub
lican brethren of Carbon to furnish us the can
didate, and then vote and work for his success
with all might We have every reason to be
lieve that voting and working, will no
have been in vain.

TIE AIR CAvE.-A few days ago the
Germantown Scientific Society met in it;
rooms, in Stokes block, Twenty
ward, Germantown, Philadelphia. The
principal feature of the evening was the
report of the committee to investigate the
causes of the cold air cave at the Delaware
Water Gap, Pennsylvania. The committee
reported that the cave is in the side of Mr..
Minsi, facing tho Delaware river there is al
aperture in the face Of the rocks, about two
feet in diameter, from which a current OF
cold air issues with considerable violence,
Near this opening is hollow stump, which
is also vent for the air. Several crevices in
the rock yield supply of this cold atmos,
phere.
The question now arises as to what causes
this volume Of air. and why it should be
cold. The committee believes it has solu-
ton of the question.
About thirty OF forty feet from the main
aperture is q spring of cold water, three sides
and the top of which are of stone. The
water of this spring trickels from the top and
sides-does not spring from the bottom. On
listening a gurgling of water can be heard,
not such as springs usually make, but similar
to rapidly flowing creek over pebbly bot
tom. The spring is evidently leakings from
this creek, for such the committee believe it
to be. And, too, at the spring. air as cold,
though not in as great volume, can be felt
The rapid transit of subterranean creek
would cause quite a strong current of air,
strong enough to thoroughly chill any one
standing in its way for any length of time,
The scientific discussion for the evening
was on Glaciers. A fine and curious
specimen of sea weed was presented One
of the members made some remarks on
curious plant called the cuscula, member
Of the conYovulps family.
