ALEX ANDRIA.
SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 26.

IT IS we'll known that General Malone,
when democrat, tried to have the charter
of Petersburg 80 changed as to diEfranchise
the negroes of that city at municipal elec-
tions. Mr.. George G. Round, an original
and prominent republican, at the time re-
ferred to member of the Virginia legsls-
ture, in recent letter to colored man In
Farmvile, in reference to that matter, said ::
"You will remember that you and the
other republicans Of the legislature, together
with the colored men of Petersburg, headed
By Peter G. Morgan, asked me- to take
charge of the opposition to the charter in
the House of Dslegates. You will remem-
Der how the cohorts of Malone crowded the
Hobbies and hotels demanding the consum-
nation of the outrage. You will also re-
member that when that ili-starred measure
had finally passed both houses that APP
pealed on your behalf to democratic Gov.
ernor and that 1 did not appeal in vain.
Aud you remember how brave Kemper 9
veto message was read in the light of his
blazing efigies III Petersburg fired by Ma
hone and his minions."
Now, if negroes we're like white people, II
they were susceptible to the same infuen-
ces, and were actuated by the same mo.
tiyes, such talk as that of MIR. Round would
not be without effect upon them but they
are not, and with enc of the Generals cheap
badges on their breasts, with his likeness
printed On RimNy handkerchief in their
pockets, and with the malicious words OF
their subsidized preachers ill their ears,
what Mr.. Round, aud what all other wise
friends of their race aay to them, has as little
effect az if it were spoken to the winds.

AN ASSURED FACT.

Persistency is one Of the main attributes
that lead to success and is the prime factor
to which Lehighton can lay the organiza-
tion and success of the Lehighton Water
Company. All the various forces haye
been amicably united and on Saturday and
Monday there was rush for water stock
which resulted in the closing of the sub
scription books, s,-the full amount necessary
being subscribed to complete the project
commenced year ago, II is settled fact
now, and work will no doubt soon be com
menced on building reservoir and laying
the pipes Oh the several streets. This is an
important period for Lehighton, it marks
the commencement of a new era in our his
tory; it is the beginning Of period of ad-
yancement that will soon place us on an
equality with any town in the Keystone
State. With facilities for manufacturing
purposes unexcelled and .frst-class water
supply, only dormant, careless disregard
on the part of our people for the advance
ment of the town will kept it in the old
rut We are getting out of the mire on to
a good, solid bottom; let determined am
bition keep pushing us along. All moye
together in body and Lehighton will soon
drop off her swaddling clothes and shine
forth in the light of pushing, live and
ambitious inland city. Push, now, and all
push together.

BROADBRIMS n. Y. LETTER

On Thursday the papers announced the
death of Maurice B. Flynn. The death of
any man, however prominent, causes but
little commotion in community of a mil
lion and half of people; but there is some
thing in the death OF this man that calls for
more than passing notice. The struggle
for political position and political power in
a city like New York, is constant, bitter
and unrelenting and the man who succeeds
in distancing all of his fellows and rising to
superlative command and wealth, must be
possessed of that supreme quality which
marks the ruler among men.
He had no especial advantages for his
start in life The son of poor Irish farm,
er, he came to New York City quite friend
less, a little over twenty years ago. and he
died this week aged forty. a millionaire.

are full of footballs for unwary youth, and
New York is no exception. Fortunate is he
who passes them with unmeshed feet. The
poor Irish-Amercan boy had steling quail
ties which early secured him promotion and
gained him the confidence of his employers.

LOUDLY PRAISED LAWS.

THE HAZLEToN Seminal IN CONCLUDING
an article on the arrival of car load of
dirty, uneducated and hardly civilized Hun
garians in that place, has this to say:
"Where are those loudly praised laws
that were to free the country of such peo-
pie? Why are they not enforcedf Is the
United States compelled to turn itself into
an immense poor house for the benefit of
countries on the other side, whose Kings,
Emperors and rulers suck the life blood
from the people and grind them down to
the lowest level of poverty. Those are the
grand old countries, about which some men
insist on making people tired singing their
praises"
This coming from the organ of what is
generally supposed to be the mouth-piece of
the coal baron'' is decidedly refreshing
reading, though truth to tell it sounds more
like one of Brother Maue's wicked scarcas-
inns. Where are those loudly praised laws,
why are they not enforced? Well, firstly 1t
would not be convenient to the corpora
tlons to have them enforced, and secondly,
there is something decidedly rotten at the
core of our political institutions which al
lows this wholesale disregard of the laws
and the flooding of our country with pau
per labor to the detriment of her funda-
mental institutions and the condition of the
American workman. The contract labor law
is farce SO long as it prevents the landing
respectable mechanics and then welcomes
with open arms the scum of over populated
Europe. There is something wrong, de-
cidely wrong and the law should be thor
oughly enforced or else repealed.

THE ASSOCIATE JUDeEsnIr.

There is some talk going on, suggesting
Hon. j. G. zern as strong and acceptable
candidate for Associate Judge this fall.
His practical and honest bent of mind,
combined with his large business acquaint-
ance with the people, his experience of two
terms as law-maker at Harrisburg, do
most assuredly give him first-class certif-
cate of qualifications. His residence is so
close and convenient to the County Seat,
that 1t will as fully meet the public wants
as IL he lived there. Judge zern will no
doubt be more readily found when wanted,
and more easily get-at-able than the resi-
dent Mauch Chunk Judges ever haye been
as they have generally been class of men
that are very much out of town. We pre-
dict that he will distance all competitors
for the nomination, If he is candidate,
and win be easily elected in November by
the strong voice of the people.

as 1 would teach him English grammar or

class and a very large class, that looks
upon success in the prize ring as the
height of earthly ambition. It was this
class that made Fitzgerald an alderman Of
Long Island City after his great walking

Wedding Bells.

Last Thursday, December 9th, 1888, the
Chapel at Arcadia Convent was filled at an
early hour with quite a number of friends OF
Miss Mary Cora p. Wheiehon, and Mr..
Frank Goyreau, the latter Of st. Genevieve
County, for the purpose of attending the
marriage ceremony which was then about to
be performed according to the rites of the
Catholic Church, between said parties.
Rev. Father Wernert administered the
Sacrament which made the two ONE before
God and men, and after the services were
over the young couple were sincerely con-
graduated by their friends. Both the bride
and the groom passed the ordeal in be-
coming manner, and many were the good
words spoken of both, and the hearty wishes
for their welfare, rendered to them.
The bride was dressed in very becoming
attire, and appeared lovely as she returned
from the chapel leaning on the arm of her
husband, and the groom also appeared to
advantage in his suit of black, so pleasingly
set off by the cheerful couutenance of the
happy couple.
May their road through life lead over
pleasant paths and their love and esteem for
each other increase with the increase of
years. a FRIEND.
