~ WIN M coming more ana more
AAzA AZ noticeable as thisI
@<1g[ country ages, and if
~ some of these fine
days both the dominant parties shall make
it a resolution that mo Irish or Dutch
need apply and frame tickets composed OF
the people who are generally tabooed when
the offices are given out, be not surprised.
L repeat, the tendency is becoming more
noticeable because latterly every now and
then some well-informed American citizen
of American descent comes out with a
complaining remark like, "Oh, l am sick
and tired of eternslly catering and Ca
voorting' to foreigners" or ut is time to
give the boys of this country, whose fathers
were to the manor born, a chance" and
other expressions containing a mixture of
disgust, reason and purpose. This line of
thought was brought forward by the atti-
tude taken last week by a prominent
Democratic leader who, in days past, and
may again have, much to do with the
success of that party, and who has occu-
pied positions of great importance and
influence, but not of profit, in his party.
He said, II am getting heartily tired of this
absorption of all the good things in u
gift by one OF other of the foreign wings of
our party to the exclusion of a large class
of thorough Americans who have always
been obliged to stand aside Now, there
comes again this year the cry that the Irish
must have Congress, District Attorney and
Poor Director. Iesuppose what is de-
nominated as the Germans will gobble
what is left, if any there may be, and that
element who are merely Americans may
do their great act of straight voting. De-
pend upon it, if our party people load the
ticket this year you Republicans will have
a walk over"
AN oFT-TOLD TALE,
''This sort of thing, Continued the spokes-
man, "has been repeated so often hat it
sounds like the village joker's cry OF
wolff and it is very like it, because some
day, only too soon, the wolf will come and
devour us all, unless proper precautions are
taken to keep the destroyer from entering
the fold and fondling our lambs too much"
ut would not be at all surprising, there
fore, if the Democracy would, like the
fellow who married the widow with six
ready-made children, put his foot into it,
1t is to be hoped that a war of races may
never enter into party politics in this or
any other county, but it is very certain that
the grabbers who are known as the
"furriners' must act "daycint' this year
or take a political tumble.
Somebody has been s~windling the Phila-
delphia Times by writing a letter on
politics and dating it at Pottsville. The
~effusion was published in Sundays issue
and it spells Shepherd Sheppard" Cum
ming Cummings" and gives the Judge
candidacy to Ex-Judge james Ryon
instead of to the Hon. John. That letter
was written in Philadelphia by a dummy.
You may gamble on that.
THEY o U READ THE HERALD"
If the pen pushers who write on space for
{ the Philadelphia papers would take their
cues from your paper they would at least
get something right, now and then, besides
learning to spell nsmes properly. These
fellows could also learn other good points
from the HERALD. There are many things
happening and recorded in the daily
published in the borough having the largest
population of any in Schuylkill county
which would give the penny-a-liners grist
for many articles, and we give them this
gratuitous advice to search the columns OF
yours, the brightest daily in this region.
IN THE JAWS OF H JAIL.
Last Friday District Attorney Koch re-
turned to Judge Pershing a bulky bundle
which contained the testimony taken en-
parte by the memorislists who addressed
the court some time ago in opposition to the
deal made by Commissioners Bowes and
Reed, in which Mr.. DeTurk was left out in
the cold and the fat offices on the hill filled
with relatives of Reed, or dyes of the
Bowes crowd. The president Judge had
some time previous referred this testimony
to Mr.. Koch to examine. That gentleman
waded through the one hundred pages of
type written manuscript and found enough
in it to have the court refer it to the Grand
Jury. Consequently, after the p. j.. had
called in his A. Us, and Mr.. Koch had
further explained the importance of hav-
ing the grave charges investigated, the
