OSCAR AYERS is our senator elect from

OSCAR AYERS IS our senator eject from
this county for the next four years. We
congratulate Mr.. Ayers on his successful
campaign and also all citizens Of the
county, irrespective Of party, on the pros
pect of their being so ably represented in
our state legislature. The recent pollti-
cal contest was very persistent)y fought.
Political tricks were resorted to for de-
feating Mr.. Ayers which might better
have been left out. But out of all the
political turmoil, Mr.. Ayers emerges the
victor The people did not believe the
silly and false campaign stories circulated
to injure him, and we believe that DEM
ocrats as we'll as Republicans are really
glad that the result is as 1t is. Mr.. Ayers
accepts his election with a strong deter
mination to be as useful as possible to
his constituents, and we expect to find
that Mower county is in position of
much influence in the coming legislature.

The Month OF Roses.

We are now In the centre of the
charming month of June, usually call
ed the month of roses, and we hope it
will bring recompenses, and that
summer will now speedily come in
earnest, for May was cool and chilly,
with great deal of rain and damp
ness. June is the most magnificent
month Of the summer, ever the time
of sweetest summer splendor-when
the trees are the freshest, the foil
age the leafiest. 1t is the month in
which the day reaches its full length;
flowers appear in the richest bloom |;
birds are in song; earth, air, and
water teen with life, and all nature
is gay and joyous. With its close
verdure begins to fade, and never
after during the season is it so beauti.
full and bright. 1t is month which
for this year can speedily boast of
several good things, among which
are that it gives more hope to tie
farmers and storekeepers, better
health to young and old, and pre-
sents nature in a more attractive
garb, than any of the five proceeding
ones.

New County Jail.
Ed. REPUBLICAN

Ed. REPUBLICAN
Your correspondent has of late
noticed several articles in the coun.
ty papers in reference to the neces.
sity of a more secure Jail accom-
modations at the county seat. 1t is
not necessary to call the attention
of your readers to the fact thas the
present county Jail is entirely unfit
for the purposes for which it was
intended. The easy escape within
the past few years of almost every
occupant to whom confinement there
in proved burdensome furnishes an
unanswerable and indisputable argu-
ment that something must be done.
The recent discovery that the bars
in cells l and 2 had been completely
sawed through and that the prison.
ers could escape at any time they
desired has naturally brought up the
question. The old cells cannot be
made sufficiently secure, with noth-
ing but narrow brick and mortar
wall between a convict and liberty,
his escape with such assistance as
his accomplices will render, is fore
gone conclusion and only matter
of little time unless, as has been
the case since last court, watch
man is continually employed to
stand guard. This is deplorable
condition of affairs. Sullivan coun-
ty needs new Jail separate and
apart from the Court House. A Jail
from which prisoners can not es-
cape, a Jail that will be sufficiently
secure SC that the court can sentence
a prisoner and not feel that the
sentence will probably be full and
free discharge by reason of the in.
security Of .he cell; a Jail that will
not cause the Sheriff to pass Sleep
less nights through fear that prison
ers placed by the court in his charge
will escape ere the morning Jail
built of good solid stone, (like the
foundation to the county offices for
instance.) Such a building can be
erected for less than $4,000 and the
time has come in the history of
Sullivan county that demands it.
The papers in adjoining counties
have been making sport of our Jail
for years: We are well able to build
good one and let US do it. The at
tention of your readers is directed to
the fact that atleast two grand juries,
after Thorough inspection of the
present jail, have reported in favor
ola new blilding.

The LaPorte correspondent OF
the Dushore Reyieso sees the neces-
slty of new county Jail and advo-
Gated the same in his communica-
ton to that paper last week. Newell
says there is small "faction" of
about one third of the people of the
county advocating a new Jail and
that CHE will oppose the building
of Jail at present" That settles it,
unless those who favor the erection
of the building can persuade Newell
to join with them, who is the op-
posing two thirds and would result
in a unanimous vote for the new
building. We fear, however, that
no person will go to the trouble of
getting his consent in the matter.

The record of high license in
Philadelphia is most satisfactory
one. Strong efforts were recently
made to induce the judges of the
license court to increasethe number
of licensed saloons, it being urged
that this was the only way to reduce
the number of "speak-easies" in the
city. Investigation brought out the
fact that the number and influence
of these illicit rum-holes have been
greatly exaggerated. That in fact,
outside Of the bogus "social clubs, y
they are not numerous and cannot
in the nature of things do much
business without exposure. The
record shows the number of licensed
saloons in that city in 1881 to have
been 5,773. In 1883, the first year
of high license, the number was re-
duced to BAT, the next year to
POS, and now there are Lib licen.
sed saloons in the city and yet there
is a class of people who say that
High License is detriment to the
temperance cause. Those who
judge high License, thus, are proven
by the above, to be incompetent
judges of what is best for the world q
good.

About one half of the reading mat
ter published in the Dushore papers
last week was copied from the Re-
PUBLICAN of May 3Oth. Among the
articles taken were: The court pro.
ceedings; the defect in tie county
iail, the political compromise in the
Democratic circle and the list OF
census enumerators appointed for
Sullivan county. To our sub
scribers the Dushore papers of last
week must have been stale. The
editors of our contemporaries have
yet to learn to give credit to those
to whom credit is due.

The Adjustment of the Loss

Fire.

sip.

An adjustment has been made of the
loss on the main building by the recent
fire, and the work Of repair will begin
tomorrow. The damage was estimated
at about $1,000. The building is to be
made comfortable with the least posi-
Bile expense, SO that it can be used two
years more, when it is hoped to secure
an appropriation to erect new main
building, which is much needed. The
plan at present is to make the new
building thoroughly fire proof, and
place the library in it, instead of having
a separate building for the library.
Plllsbury hall is now undergoing re-
pairs, and the work is proceeding
slowly. The walls are being calcimined
and the woodwork refinished and paint
ed, so that when completed the build
ing will be in all respects as good as be-
fore the fire. The damage here was
S10,500 and in this case, as in that of
the main building, was fully covered by
insurance. Work On the new chemical
building has been suspended for the
winter.
There is no lack of diversion at the
university this winter. Perhaps the
most popular means is dancing, and the
dancing cub affords ample opportunity.
The meeting last evening at Malcolm's
hall was very pleasant one. Those
present were the Misses Best, Nicol,

President Day Puts It in q New
and Different Light.


New YORK, Jan. 11.-President John
B. Day, of the New York league club,
said yesterday that there was no truth
in the statement that COnnor had re-
fused to sign a league contract. Mr..
Day says that he never asked the big
first baseman to affix his signature to
document. They talked over the matter
in a casual way, and Conner never
made use of the assertion credited to
him. He is said to have declared that
all the money in New York could not
induce him to leave the brotherhood.
81 called on Connor at his home in Wa
terbury," he SAID, land asked his views
on the base ball question. Conner said
that, while he did not believe that the
officers of the brotherhood were treat
ing the men right, he intended to stand
by his agreement. Connor, like many
other players, does not want to be
called a deserter. Although mat
tiers have been misrepresented to
the rank and ile by the leaders of the
brotherhood movement, the boys are
fearful of showing their hand, not car
ing to be called traitors to the cause. |

delay as the best policy, it can he seen
that his omission was unfortunate. TO

clubs of that body. He could then re-

get what money he desires besides, and
