Posses in Politics.


EDITOR HERALD Il am Democrat,
but have been a reader and subscriber Of
your paper since 1870 and on the latter
ground, l ask for small space in your
paper to express my views on affairs politi-
cal and otherwise, so far as the town is
concerned. / wish TO refer TO the schemes
adopted by certain bosses in the employ Of
the p & r G. & l, O.. Under f B.
Gowen no one holding Il position under
that company was permitted TO hold
political office. 1t is quite different now
and, as a consequence, there are many
citizen miners wac are deprived of tue
free and full exercise of speech aud ballot.
l cannot say positively that bosses have
made direct threats to enforce their
de Tres. We all know tia ther are IN re-
ways than one to kill cat and no one is
better acquainted with the ways than the
modern p. & r. Company nine boss.
The company would gain much more if
Mr. Gowen's policy were put in operation
| again The clsmoring Of the bosses for
positions in the Borough Council leads to
| aus piciOn and that suspicion incr a wi h
the act. MS of those who succeed N getting
| there and makes the community more
delicate in awarding concessions to the
company than it would be under other
circumstances. Ouly recently the power
OF the boss has been put to the test
| The joint water committee decided to
circulate petitions for the sigma ures of the
citizens of town setting forth an endorse
ment of the work OF the joint committee.
These petitions are TO be used in the in
junction suit. Certain bosses took copies
of the petition and industriously circulated
them among the employees of their colliery.
A nice place to get the expression of Il
citizen. 1t is the same thing as calling the
miner up before his boss and asking him,
do you like.your boss2 But am glad
to learn that there is at least one boss who
was fearless enough TO take stand against
the whipping in process and one of the
bosses VINO was circulating a petition was
given to understand in unmistaksble erms
that he was stepping over the boundary.
That he was out of his element and that,
by virtue of his position, as boss of the col
lieryr he was securing the signatures of
men who undoubtedly act otherwise insthe
absence OF "his iordship." 1 an miner
and a tizen and am as independent as any
one working in this region, but 1 freely
admit that have at times surrendered my
rights of citizenship to save my bread and
butter. There have been times wnen u
day 8 work has almost stood between my
family and starvation and it would have
been folly for me to stand upon political
point at the expense of my work when 1
knew 50 many were waiting to drop into
my place. do not say that all the bosses
tase their p Jsitions for political and other
influence. There are some know per-
sonally who will not do it and cannot be
induced to, but l hold that there should be
none. Hoping you will publih this and
give the miners and bosses of the town the
benefit of the sentiments remain yours

POISON.
TOOK A DOSE FROM THE
WRONG BOTTLE.
AN OLD TINE ERROR REPEATED.
A Boy Took His Dose Before Co.
ing to Bed and Very Fortu-
nately Discovered His
Mistake in Time.

Harry, the flfteen-y ear-old son of Charles
Powell of West Line street, narrowly es-
capped joining the long list of grip victims
Sunday evening.
He had been siling for some time past
and physician prescribed medicine for
him, The boy has been the room mate of
another boy of about the same age. The
medicine was kept on table in their bed
room and beside it stood bottle of simil.r
appearance containing laudanum.
Sunday evening as Harry and his com
panion were about to retire. the former
picked up one of the bottles, poured out u
tablespoonful Of the mixture, and swal-
lowed it, The taste of the mixture seemed
peculiar and Harry turned the bottle over
to bring the label on it toward him. His
eyes almost jumped from their sockets as
he read "Peson-Laudanum." The room
mate was terror stricken, but Harry re-
tanned his presence of mind. He hurriedly
redressed hi nself and hastened to DR.. Cal
lens office as fast as he could run. The
doctor administered an antidote. He re-
mained with the boy some time, requiring
him him to swallow salt and water, warm
water. and, finally, mustard and water.
The latter mixture nipped the action of the
poison in the bud and the boy was declared
out of danger. l. was a narrow escape.

TEE LuDGEsHIP,

District Attorney r. H. Koch has
sue umbed to the heavy pressure
brought to bear on him by his numer :
Gus friends and will be candidate for
the Republican nomination for Judge
Mr.. Koch is a brilliant young man of
high legal attainments, as his present
administration proves, and if the
Republicans nominate him we believe
he will be triumphantly elected. His
election to the District Attorneyship
three years ago abundantly proves his
popularity and, we think, the party
will do well by choosing him for the
Judgeship.

after the attempt to wreck it had been
foiled, and the one showing the interior of
the engine house, and the receipt of the
alarm Of fire, changing to the exterior oil
the house and showing the smoking steamer
dashing through the storm to the fire, were
realistic and thrilling. PHILADELPHIA Press

THE New York tribune says If Mr.
Blaine were elected, and should ask
Mr.. Harrison to take charge of the
State Department, there is no reason
why the request should not be met
with ready acceptance and popular
approval. If both should step aside,
and Governor Mckinley, or Senator
Sherman, or either of half dozen
strong men, should be nominated, the
Republican party would not find itself
crippled in any state which it has
reason to expect to carry. The fact is
that its voters are moved by its
principles. No antagonism of ideas,
no personal rivalries or wrangles,
deprive the Republican party with
freedom to choose as may seem best
when the time for nomination comes.

POLITICAL POINTERS.

Jim Smith is hustler. He says he is
going to get the Democratic nomination for
Chief Burgess.
Elect none but the best men for election
officers. Under the new law it will require
men of intelligence and good, common
sense to fill the positions on those boards.
The first election under the new ballot
law will take place in November. People
who want to vote advisedly should get a
copy of the law and read it over carefully.
Every person seeking nomination for .
borough office should make an announce
ment through his local paper. 1t costs
little, not counting all the fun there is in it
The election of Lawyer Mari, of Ash
land, as Chairman of the Democratic
| County Committee was a bitter dose to the
Young Democracy that were to do wonders
this year. They have come down from
their band wagon in good style. The
"Wall Paper Syndicate" is still on top and
it proposes to stay there.

ing carnivals here are virtually OIL,

Clubs are on tho lookout for lighters

March 1, 2 and 3, lacks an event for the
opening night unless the webbing
match between John and Billy Murphy
is patched up. A better attraction
however, is needed, and II Gallagher
and Dempsey are coupled, it is secured,
but Dempsey's refusal to fight La

postponed its carnival to the first week

A Woman's Story of Quantreli and James
st. Louis Gioos- Democrat

"I was living in Lawrence, Kan,
when Quantrell's gang sacked and
burned the town." said Mrs. Ann Boet-
tier. There were very few able'bodied
men in the place at the time, and the
guerriIlas had everything their own way.
They massacred $50 people. Jesse
James, then a beardless boy OF 10, was
with the gang. / was living with q
woman named Stephens, whose husband
was Federal soldier. He had been
wounded and sent home. Jesse James
and three or four others OF the gang in
yaded the house with the avowed pur-
pose Of killing Stephens, who was con-
fined TO his bed. He had been shot
through the hips, and his body was par
siyzed from the waist down.
"Mrs. Stephens met the guerillas at the
door and begged for her husbands life,
but they only laughed at her. They
crowded past her and approached the
bed. Would you murder wounded
man?' asked Stephens. oh, / guess
you'll only be easier killed. said James.
I've killed nineteen people to-day, and
want TO make 1t an even twenty Mr..
Stephens had large navy revolver un-
der his pillow. He seized it and began
firing. You never saw such scampering
in your life as those guerilas did to get
out OF range. They rushed outside and
fired volley through the win
dows, breaking Mrs. Stephens's
left arm. Then they set the
house on fire. was but a
child Of twelve, but with my help Mrs.
Stephens managed to get her husband
out OF doors, and she stood between him
and the guerrillas. They told her 70
stand aside or they would kill her, too.
but she refused. Mr.. Stephens still
held his pistol, and they were afraid TO
approach to drag her away. Her hus-
band commanded her TO go, and leave
him to his fate, but she would not
move. The guerrillas fired on her and
she fell across her husband. They fred
again, and Stephens fell back dead"
