THE election over there will be a
little lull in politics for short time
and then the lines will form for the
great Presidential contest of next
year. 1t is probable the National
Conventions will be neld somewhat
earlier than previous years, to avoid
the heatof summer, and the campaign
will be long and hard fought one.
The campaign of education will, how
ever, begin from now ON in the party
newspapers. Republicans who want
to be kept informed on the lead
ing questions of the day should take

Florida on Wheels.


The Florida Exposition car, which is
side-tracked near the Ashuelot round
house, attracts many visitors, and the gen
eral comment is that the exhibition of the
states products and curiosities is we'll worth
seeing. Many kinds of wood, all native in
Florida, are shown. Live alligators are to
be seen, various kinds of hides and a num-
Der of skeletons ard fossils. The agri-
cultural display is large and interesting,
the beautiful grasses grown in that region
being particularly worthy of mention.
An enormous sponge, seven feet in crcum-
ference, is to be seen. Fruit of every
variety grown in the state is exhibited
The visitor will be astonished to learn
what school OF information concerning
the land of flowers this rolling palace" is.
The car affords one of the most complete
exhibitions of the kind ever shown by any
state. Mr.. W. s. Webb, who has charge
of the car, is very courteous and we'll
informed gentleman, who takes pleasure in
imparting his extensive knowledge of
Florida and her products TO those who de-
sire to learn. A visit to the car is sure to
repay the csller.-Keefe, N. H., Tribune.

There was an exceedingly lively meeting
of the Borough Council last night and, for

body would invountarily go out one of
the windows.
The following petition, signed by 39
citizens, was prese ted and read
ITO the President and Members of the
Ioion Council Of the Borough of Shenan-
dodh.

Shenandoah, ana owners of livery stables,
and DRYERS of vehicles in said borough, 90

to the great variety in the guages of the
different wagons and carriages, etc, in e
in our borough, and knowing that the or
dlnary guage is preferable to the broad
guage for the driving public, do hereby
request your honor BILE body to change the
guage of the electric railway Company f
track which is abont to be laid through our
streets, and to which you have already
given the right of way from that of 62l
inches to 564 inches or what is commonly
known as the narrow guage."

The usual contemplate practice of
destroying election tickets was in
dulged again yesterday by overzealous
partisans at different polls throughout
the county, and especially fragrant
was this criminal conduct in the Mid
die ward of Pottsville, several wards
of Shenandoah, East ward of Gilber-
ton, and at points up the Schuylkill
valley. The Judges should instruct
. the county constables to watch the
polls on election days and report all
such infringements on the right OF
citizenship. The practice should be
stopped.-Republicdn.

THE gallant Major Mckinley won
in Ohio by handsome majority. He
deserved his triumph. The battle was
fought on purely national issues-the
tariff and the silver question. Ohio
speaks with no uncertain sound for
protection and honest money. The
people of Ohio voice the sentiment of
the country in these questions. They
were plainly put and fairly presented
and the verdict is that tariff and
reciprocity and honest money are the
principles for the American people.
