POLITICAL.

Q yiet, very quiet, is the political situation
in this county.
Clubs will be trump at Scranton this
week.
Elk Congressman Scott is dead. He was
the wealthiest man in the state.
McGnniss is making a thorough good
canvass and as he makes himself known
secures new friends.
Next year there will be lots of good
Offices to go around and it won't be the
sluggard who'll get there.
A. NJ. High, of Reading, is the first
delegate elected to the next National Re-
publican convention.
Just what the Press and Journal will do
after the Scranton convention is over is
being debated
Whether it be Robinson or Dalzell the
Republican ticket will receive the united
support of the party.
o, yes, Robinson will be showed under,
but the figures in the Press does not look
that way.
A member of the Executive Committee
wanted to be elected delegate to the
League Convention, but he wasn't. Now
the club does not legally exist according
to his opinion. Had he been elected, he
would have thought otherwise.
Shenandoah has a number Of Blowhards
in both political parties who never con-
tribute a cent towards the expenses of the
party but who claim all the emoluments
They also want to dictate which way the
cat is to jump and will not vote their ticket
if their wishes are not gratihed. Out with
these barnacles they are no use to any
body.

heretofore there is no better medium
of communication with the public
than the columns of the EVENING
HERALD. Our paper goes into hun
dreds of the beet families in town and
vicinity, and we have the most graft

that those who have availed them

bringing business matters prominently
before people who read, buy and
travel, have not failed to derive profit
from their advertising investments.

The Band Contest.

In reference to the recent hint of the
Republican for contest between the Grant
band, of town, and the Third Brigade, of
Pottsville, it may be stated that all reports
Of challenges from the Grant band have
emanated from outside circles and the
members of the band are in no way re.
sponsible for them. The Grant band has a
large circle of admirers who are enthu-
siastic in their estimation of the organiza-
ton, and they have frequently expressed a
desire for contest between their favorite
and the Pottsvilles pet. Since the Repub-
hean has taken the initiative, one Of these
admirers has authorized the HERALD to
state that the Grant band can receive
backing for from 500 to $500 for a contest
with the Third Brigade band, upon the
conditions, however, that the contest shall
not take place in Pottsville and the money
contested for shall not 90 to the benefit ol
any Pottsville institution if the Grant
band wins. OF course, the Third Brigade
band will be at liberty to do as it may wish
with the money, should it win.

pubncans generally are showing an un-
usual interest in the campaign
GREGH AND MORRISON HAPPY.

GREGG AND MORRISON HAPPY.
Chairman Watres has had two con
terence with Candidates Gregg and
Morrison. They seem to be very
much pleased with the outlook in the
state General Gregg and Captain
Morrison have had an opportunity to
Judge from personal observation as to
the feeling in a number of the counties
The general was delighted with the
ovation rendered him at the granger's
picnic at Williams Grove He deliv-
cred taking speech to the farmers, and
made II very favorable impression. At
Grand Army reunions in the northwest
ern counties and at several points nearer
his home, at which he came in contact
with former members of his cavalry
command, he was most enthusiastically
received.
Captain Morrison has scarcely had
day to himself since he was nominated.
He is in great demand. Invitations to
Grand Army and regimental reunions
are pouring in on him from every quar-
ter. He got one last week from an old
comrade, who was a member of his own
company during the war, asking him to
meet him at a soldiers gathering in
Ohio. What was no doubt very

tain was the reunion of the survivors Of
the famous old "Roundheads" recently.
This is the regiment in which young
Morrison enlisted after leaving his
fathers farm in Mercer county at the
very breaking out of the rebellion. He
got a great ovation from his old com
panions. He was met at the station by
a committee and escorted in a carriage
to the home of a prominent citizen,
where he was royalty entertained. Sub
sequently, at Mount Carmel, North
umberland county, he met many of the
veterans Of eastern Pennsylvania, and
received many encouraging words and
assurances of support from Democrats
and Republicans alike, rs he did at
Coatesville. Chester county, last week.
A very gratifying incident noted at
the Republican headquarters last week
was the calling on Chairman Watres
of both of the prominent candidates for
the presidency of the State League of
Republican clubs. Dalzell, of Pittsburg.
and Robinson, of Media, were there on
the same day, though they did not meet.
Both assured the state chairman that
whatever would be the result of the
Scranton convention, they and their
friends would be found working Loyalty
and earnestly in the interest of Gregg
and Morrison until The polls close on
election day. Robinson and Dalzell
both promise to take the stump for the
state ticket Though their respective
supporters waged a lively battle in the
league, Robinson and Dalzell have
been personally friendly since they were
college mates. A promised picture of
harmony is their appearance ON the

its nominees.
Chairmen Watres and Kerr get along
very nicely together. They have had
couple Of conferences in arranging for
a uniform plan for printing the state
tickets. Watres first called on Kerr
and then the Democratic chairman
visited the Republican field marshal, and
they finally parted on very friendly
terms

A Peculiar Mania for Stealing
Among Huns.
Last night a Hungarian was served ' ith
oysters in Schoener's oyster saloon, on
West Centre street. As he was about to
retire he stole all the sat.cellars on the
tables and dropped them into his pockets.
Mr., Schooner detected him in the act and
called in Policeman Davies, who arrested
the Hun and took him to the lookup. This
morning the case was settled by the Hun
paying damages and costs. Mr. Schooner
said this morning, 1T seems the Polish and

IN the death of Hon. William L.
Scott the Democratic party has lost
one of its most valuable members,
and Ex. President Cleveland his best
friend. Mr.. Scott was a self-made
man, commencing life as page in the
United States Senate, and ending it
when he was regarded as one of the
shrewdest ar d most enterprising bus
mess men of the country, and one OK
the wealthiest. His business enter
prises were varied and extensive, and
his reputation was that of one whose
word was bond. AS politician he
was calculating, shrewd, liberal and
audacious. Personally, he was greatly
liked, not only for his social qualities,
but for his many charitable deeds
done in a most unostentatious man.

HAusER LOSES HIS MONEY.

Judge RIcGrath Decides the Transaction
Was Not a Wager.
Decision was rendered by Judge Nc
McGrath in the case OF Hsuser VS.. Marcus
yesterday morning non-suiting the plain
tiff. The suit was brought by Hauser,
who is a prominent restaurant keeper and
butcher of Hoboken, against Markus, also
a butcher, of Hoboken, to recover S25.
This sum of money Hauser had put up
as a wager TO be forfeited il the latter
could prove Hauser had made certain
damaging statements against him. Mar
kus got the money from the stakeholder,
although Hauser considered his proof
insufficient and protested.
In rendering the decision Judge Nc
Grath said:-
"This case is not one of a wager in the
legal definition of the term, as it depends
on no uncertain contingent event 1t

to show this case one of wage and within

cal audience filed the church and demon
strated their appreciation in a manner
there was no installing. The society as a
whole sang with a grace and finish which
was remarkable. considering that last

AFRAID OF EUGENE.
The Emperor Napoleon Didn't Dare
10 Arouse Her Wrath.

The death of Prince Napoleon has
flooded the Paris papers with anec-
dotes and gossip relating principally
to life in the Tuilleries under the sec
ond empire. The inundation has not
vet subsidized, and among the interest
ing things floating about, here is n
from NJ. Pierre de Lano, which he OBJ
tanned from one of the famous five,
whose name be conceals by describing
him as NJ. y. One afternoon this nj.

Prince when the Emperor appeared,
after having tapped on the door OF
the little secret passage that united
the two palaces. NJ Y. rose to leave,
but the Emperor requested him TO
remain. Leaning against the mantel-
piece, the Emperor said to his
cousin:-
Say, Napoleon, does your wife
make scene for you?"
What scene could she maker
Scenes of jealousy, for example"

Eyes, that is true. | am what YOU
say, and my wife, no doubt, knows
my habits. But why should she
bother me? Victor Emmanuel, her
father, was also a person of the same
sort. She knows that. too, and mas
much as her husband is like her
father, she can't very well complain
since that's the way with kings"
The Emperor smiled. You are a

There is only one. sire"
What is it?n
