who is the Man who Knows so Much?
The Mahanoy City Tri- Weekly Record pub
lished the following on Saturday:
SHENANDOAH, Nov. 3O.-The post office
fight in this town is growing very hot. There
are about twenty applicants and each Que has
a sure thing The present postmaster does
not seem to be much worried. He has over
year yet to serve and being veteran of
the war he does not fear he will be removed
before his term expires. This will give the
different candidates time to cut each others
throats and the filling of the offices will be an
| important factor in the nominations to be
made next fall. The gentleman who really
has the pull, or rather the backing of
Congressman Reilly, is Michael Mellet,
stationer and travelling salesman for
a cracker house. He has relatives enough
to fill all the positions connected with
the office. In ease he makes the appoint
ment Edward ODonnell, his brother
in.law, who is also a travelling salesman
will be made assistant. Patrick Goldin,
ODonnells brother-in.l law, will carry one
of the leather bags This is not all.
At one time there was a cracker factory here
The firm was composed of James j. Franey,
Michael Mellet and others, with Ed. O'Don-
nell as an employe. The programme is
Senator Monaghan is to step aside. James j.
Franey is to succeed him. NJ. J. Malone,
who is also a travelling salesman and brother
in-law of Franey's wants to succeed Mr..
Kear as Collector. But what of Squire
Monaghan, H. J. Muldoon, C. II. Hagenbuch,
P, P. D. Krlin, j. C. Settler and half a
dozen others? What is Senator Monaghan
and his friends going TO do about it? Will
he kindly submit and retire? How will he
take it to be turned down in Squire Mon
aghan's appointment as postmaster? Ditto,
in the case of John J. Reilly, late defeated
candidate for the Legislature, who wants
the same job Malone has sure
cinch on? Submit without kick ?
| Oh, no! or l am a mistaken man. Squire
wanted the Prothonotaryship before there
was any possibility Of post Office berth. In
case he does not succeed in getting the latter
much if the Treasurership goes to George
Folmer Perhaps Folmer will be showed
aside 1t is the easiest thing in the world to
do that The Dutch won't kick. They'll
swallow their disappointment and vote as OF
yore Perhaps there will be a Kindt after all
Who knows? Ovsrtures, no doubt have been
made, or viii be, to induce the present in
cumbent to resign and recommend Demo
crat who can be appointed and who will not
likely be removed. For this consideration,
perhaps years salary, and the retention of
two or more Of the letter carriers. Wait

cred the morning sermon. The discourse was
an eloquent presentation of the double con-
trast between the manner in which Jesus and
Paul approached death. Jesus shrunk from
it and Paul courted it. Jesus prayed, ''If it
be possible let this cup pass from me-" Paul
said, 81 am in a strait betwixt two, having
desire to depart and be with Christ, which is
far better" Was it because the holy soul of
Jesus was less heroic than that of Paul2
Perish the thought 1t was because Jesus
died for others and Paul only for himself
1t is our relation to sin that makes all the
difference in our relation to death. Jesus
groaned under the load of worlds sin
which pressed sweat drops like blood from his
pores and extorted that agonizing cry My
God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me ?"
Nature was Indifferent to the death of Paul
as it is to that of all men. But when the
Lord Of glory died she darkened her skies,
rent her rocks and opened her graves in
attestation of his supreme divinity. 1t was
atonement that made the difference. The
other contrast is between the effect of the
Jesus said, at is expedient for you that l go
away" Paul said, "To abide in the flesh is
more needful for you"
The world was much the loser by the
death of Paul. No man can estimate the
worlds loss when any good man dies, but the
world lost nothing and gained everything by
the death of Jesus First in the list of
blessings is atonement. without shedding of
blood is no remission Of sin. This was the
great end for which He came into the world
He was born that he might die. "He took
hold of the seed of Abraham that through
death he might destroy him that had the
power Of death--that is, the devil" Then
there is His high priestly intercession. And
again His abiding presence everywhere with
His people. LO, l am with you always even
unto the end of the world. Some how OF
other the relations of the Holy Trinity are
such that the comforter could not come until
the departure of Jesus. And what a won
derful transformation He made and still
makes, in individual character. Judas sold
his master, Peter denied him, they all for
sook him. But after Pentecost we find Peter
who denied Him charging His death upon
the Jewish rulers. And the very same power
by which that change was brought is pro-
claiming like changes now.
In the evening the congregation listened
attentiyely to an able sermon by Presiding
Elder Rev. DR.. Thomas. The attendance was
very large.
The Bishop and Presiding Elder congratu-
lated the congregation upon its enterprise in
erecting such beautiful and commodious par
sonage and appealed for funds to aid its pay
ment. The congregation responded nObly
with a subscription of nearly three thousand
dollars.

SPITE WORK.
This is the Acknowledged Warfare
AgRinst the nHeraldn

This is the Acknowledged warfare
Against the "IIerald."
The Councilmen who engaged in a con
spiraey to deprive the HERALD of its just
dues and attempted to place upon it boycott
that would cut Off all public patronage now
plead that they did not send the public
printing out of town because of prices
charged by the HERALD, but because the
paper had no claim on Council by reason of
the "abuse" given them. Conspiracy and
duplicity will out. These Councilmen attest
what the HERALD has claimed all along
They clinched the nail. They are running the
borough affairs to suit their own convenience
and vent their personal spite, as occasions
present themselves and to vent that spite they
are allowing six per cent and costs to accrue
which must eventually be paid by the bor-
ough in full How much longer will the
Borough Council allow itself to be led and
dictated to by two or three men whose
actions are guided solely by spite and self
interest? The HERALD acknowledges that it
has no claim upon the Borough Council 1t
was organized upon a Democratic basis and as
civil service reform is not in vogue here we
have never attempted to make claim upon it
But what strikes us as peculiar is that thi:
Democratic organization should be subject tC

conspirators who for the past year have beer

The matter Of securing a cheaper means
than gas for Illuminating the Council Cham
Der and other parts of the borough building
has agitated the Councilmen for several years.
The problem is not such one that it cannot
be solved the great trouble lies in the
weakness Of the back bones Of the Council
men. One of the members hit the nail on
the head at the last meeting when he said,
The company does not care about putting in
the electric lights. They would rather have
dicker? The Council can act in this matter
as any individual. 1t is only question of
ordering the one system Of lighting out and
the other in.

The street paving project is practically
killed. As the proposed contract between
the Grant brothers and the borough is not
yet signed there is a disposition among some
members of Council to let the whole matter
drop, at least to let every thing in connection
with the matter rest until next summer, or
such further time as the pipes Of the public
water works shall have been laid. Council
man Lamb says that PottsviIle firm offers
to furnish a paving stone which he thinks is
the best he has seen and from what the
Councilman intimates an effort will be made
to make contract with the new party if the

A Queer Pacific Cos.t Lake.

One of the natural curiosities in Kliki-
tat county is Lone lake, which lies in
butte or mound in the Simcoe foothills
six miles northwest of Goldendale The
butte looks as though the top had caved
in, as the trees are lying dead sll over
the bottom and years ago were grow
ing where the lake now lies. This
lake cannot be seen until one reaches
the summit of the butte, as it Is circu-
lar in form and surrounded by q wall
or bank of earth which is covered with
trees. The bank itself is more than
one hundred feet high. The early set
tiers tell Of cutting hay on the ground
which this body of water now covers q
good many years ago. There u no
doubt the water is steadily rising, trees
have been covered where they have
fallen. and now lie slowly decaying be-
meath the waters. It Is fairly possible
that the lake will one day All the en-
tire cavity in the butte and overflow the
banks. A few years ago the lake was
stocked with carp, and its waters are
fairly alive with them now. Last sea-
son great many catfish were put into
the lake. They will thrive there and
soon exterminste the other Ash The
lake affords excellent boating, and Il
becoming pleasure resort.
