THE CARBoN ADVOCATES caption
"How will it work2" on the Lansford Re
cords article on the president judgeshlp
for this district in our last issue has
brought out one. fact, namely: "Bob"
Klotz has numerous wire pullers ready and
willing to throw their influence with him
for denomination of Judge Dreher, and
proved another fact equally as important,
viz; That the rank aud file of the party are
not with him for the same purpose. They
believe that the honor belongs to this
county, and in this connection the CAR
BON ADVOCATE places the name Of Viii
liam M. Rapsher, OF Mauch Chunk, to the
fore. without his knowledge or consent,
but because we believe him fitted, in all the
essential requirements, for the important
position. Learned, experienced, man of
the people, in the very prime of life, he
would make Judge creditable to Carbon
county and her people. Let the Demo.
Gratis unite on him to man and put the
honor and ofice where il belongs.

TIE KILLING W letfgs z Brooklyn,

he betrayed after inveis sclE.. her into
house Of disrepute in New York City by
lying and scbeming artifces, should not
be without its moral to that class of in
diYiduals who have no regard for the
sancity ofhome or the virtue of our women.
That the women did wrong to take the law
into her own hands there is no question,
but the culpable neglect of the law to
punish these high-toned roue's for offences
Of this class perhaps hurried her to mete
out that yeDgence for broken health in
mind and body and ruined reputation
which he 80 richly deserved. We have
heard tho women's side Of the story, a
pitlful tale of deceit, hypocricy, scheming
devilishness, destardly intrigue, broken
promises, the usual sequel TO the plannings
and plottlpgs of individuals who rush
women into shame and degradation,
trampling on laws human and divine, for
the qualification OF the animal propensities.

Art came in wlthG rush this week. and
all New York and his wife, who have been
on the tiptoe of expeelatiou for months
have been aFstined by a peep at Millet's
Angelus. The daY of the press view
went up to the American Art Galleries ez
pecling that at least, for the few hours set
apart for that purpose, should meet none
but my fellow scribes. The purpose OF the
frst Fall opening OF the American Art
Galleries. was the exhibition of the Barrie
collection OF sculptures and bronGes by that
celebrated master and OF illustrating tue
condition OF art thirty years ago. But the
rush was so fearful that postponed my
visit 20 later day, for It was impossible to
see the works of art with any degree Of
pleasure or TO form discriminating opin-
ion concerning them. But as l stood at
the door and saw men and women pushing
and squeezing to get in l could not help
asking myself, What is all this about9 Not
one in hundred Of them had ever heard
Of Barrie OF his art, but everyone Of them
had heard OF Millet. Not one in twenty
knew much sbout Aillet. They could not
have told you whether he was an English
man, a Frenchman, a Dutchmkn or a
Swede, but they all knew that he had
painted picture called the Angelus, and
that It cost the lucky possessor one hun
dred and twelve thousand dollars, and
they wanted to see it. Many no doubt
went in expecting to see a magnificent can
yass that would cover the side Of wall,
instead Of which it is small picture that
a man might carry of under his arm.
Later on shall have occasion TO speak Of
il more fully, but confess in advance that
il viii take me some time to discover
where. on a canvas 22x2s, you can put one

Mammal Schnmne.

The IRde1-hppeal gives some hints as TO
what General MALONE said to his followers
on Tuesday night last in his speech of
ninety minutes Here is a significant re-
mark:
HE hoped 20 live long enough TO see the
State debt settled on an equitable and
honorable basis alike 20 the State and her
creditors. and pledged that this should he
done were the Republican party given
control"
Is the General going TO desert the RID
pLEBERGER bill? Are the bondboldors 10
take part in our fall election? II not, why
has MALONE promised to settle the state
debt to the satisfaction of the State and of
her creditors? His sable followers would
be satisfied with any sort of settlement.
They would as lief the State should pay
forty millions as twenty, and would not OBJ
jet TO repudiating the entire debt. But
the Democratic taxpayers are not so easily
satisfied.
The feeling in the Petersburg conference
was almost unanimous for MALONE for
Governor. OF course it was. And If he
wants the nomination he will get it. His
will is the only law of the Republican or
ganization in Virginia. Whoever has
will OF his own is kicker" But we sus-
pect, as we said several weeks ago, that
MAHoNR's purpose will have been accom-
plshed if he shall be allowed the opportu-
nifty 10 decline a nomination to be unani-
mously rendered 10 him by his State Con
vention when it shall assemble. That
would make him the head of the Republican
organization in this State and induce the
President to allow hun 10 dispose Of all the
offices in Virginia.
General MALONE told the colored con-
ferrees in effect that it was more important
for them that they should have Republi-
can officials than that they should have
negro officials. The history of southern
politics showed that mere numbers were
powerless against intelligence, wealth, and
cOurage.n

editor and proprietor of the Virginia Ldncet'

Weiss. of EmpOTia, was called III the
Mayors Court for hearing tins morning;
The defendant waived examination and
asked that the case be sent on to the Hust-

b0iled for his appearance.
II may be said truly that the recent con-
ference of Malone Republicans IN this city
gave rise 10 as much interest among the
colored as among the white element OF the
party. And from what one can hear
among the negroes it IS believed that they
would positively rojOice over General Ma

publican State Convention for tho OppOr-
tunity thus afforded them Of voting against
him. They have not forgiven or forgotten
the treatment of their leader IN the late
congressional canvass.
And here 10 may be mentioned that the
name of q prominent ana popular itepubli-
