THE SITUATION IN THE COUNTY
AS Seen Through Republican
Spectacles-Doesn' Like Uncle
Sans Free Delivery-Other
Items of Interest.

The political prognosticator of the Daily
Republican gets off the following gems on
the situation in the Democratic ranks
The candidacy of Hon. James B.. Reilly
for Judge was sprung last night by the
Chronicle and is apparently not unsuthor-
lied. The Republicans have been expect
ing this all along, Mr., Reilly, expressed
and implied indifference to the Judgeship
has been a matter of merriment to men
who have an eye open to passing events,
The Democrats want the other Judgeship
and no matter what they may think fa-
vorsble of Nash and Wadlinger, they
think their only political hope is Mr..
Reilly, who is the leading politician of
them all, especially when he has a chair
mar like Haley behind him to push the
column.
The Republicans are by no means asleep
in its Judgeship business. They are not
expecting a picnic in the campaign such as
they would have in case of the nomination
of either of the candidates who have been
publicly announced. Reilly can have the
nomination if he wants it. Scbalck will
take it if Reilly don't want it, and Mari is
the dark horse in grooming above the
mountain, in case neither of these want it.
These two Pottsville men are for Joe
Vol for Sheriff, and will forego their
Judge.hip aspirations this year, as they are
still young men, and by making VOL
Sheriff they will gain a hold on his friends
which will serve them we'll in future cam
paigns.
Chairman Healy don't know what to do
with his organization this year. They are
all at war on the national question. Espec-
tally isthis the case on the Judseship.
| Wadlinger's friends are working a great
racket against the Shenandoah Ne,0s and
the Irish. OF course the NewS and Mash
are making the most of the situation, AND
may come out ahead in the convention,
The Nash gang are not sleeping, but the
Wadlinger folks are whetting their knives
while they behold their hopes decaying
Then there is the Joe Vol crowd Joe
wants to be Sheriff. He has put up'' fol-
the swag before, and is in it again for keeps
He won't do Wadlinger any good, but OIL
the other hand is a power in behalf o
Nash. He can carry the German elemen.
himself and ant Nash to help hin
through with the boys who wear the green
The Journal is authority that John F
Gressaug, of Pottsville, will accept the Re
publican nomination for Sheriff if rendered
to him.

AT the beginning of this century
calico cost IS cents a yard; it can now
be bought for 5 cents. AT any distance
from the seaboard, it was then difficult
to get more than three shillings-373
cents-for wheat. Now it is in the
neighborhood of 81 anywhere in the
United States. Then it took n and
a half bushels of wheat to buy a yard
of calico. Now one Lushel will buy 20
yards. In 1900 coarse brown sugar
cost 49, cents a pound. Now fine
white sugar can be bought for 81 cents.
Before the war 8 cents was the GUS
tomary price for eggs in the greater
part of the country lying west of the
Alleghenies, and it took from two to
three dozen eggs to get ayard of calico.
Now, two dozen eggs will buy from
| eight to u yards of calico.
