Webster Flanagan, who first achieved
national repute as the gentleman who
asked in the Chicago convention of 1880
tho momentous question, "What are we
here for?" is ayerse TO giving up his pres
emit job as collector of customs at Ell
Paso. In a letter to his Republican
friend, Senator Sherman, of Ohio, which
he signs "Cheerfully yours, Webster
Flanagan" he says: ANY kind words
spoken in my behalf to Secretary Carlisle
will be highly appreciated, for I would
like to hold this place till October l, and.
you may say as much to Secretary Car
isle" Senator Sherman has placed the
letter on filein the treasury department,
but as there are several Democratic ap-
plicants for the El Paso collectorship
the probabilities are that Mr.. Flanagan
will be retired.

The political atmosphere in this town
ship is not very clear 80 far as county
politics are concerned. Walter Cottrell.
who seems to be the strongest candidate
for the Democratic shrievalty nomina-
ton, is giving all his attention to his pri-
vate business. William Chambers, the
Republican candidate for sheriff, is new
man, and ii is not known how strong he
is outside the township. He would doubt
less have the delegation from the town
ship if he wished, as Billy" is very pop
ular at home. George L. Shinn, although
he has not announced himself as candi-
date, is developing somewhat of strength
for the county collectorship. George
would make good run, and his business
experience would enable him to fill the
Office with great credit to the county
He is pledged to Chambers, but if he con-
tinues to develop strength for the collec-
torship. Chambers would probably retire
from the field. Prominent politicians
throughout the county are urging Shinn's
nomination.

The OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Sermon

Before the students and graduating
class of the College Preparatory for young
ladies. was preached at the Presbyterian
Church, last Sunday evening, by the new
prin cipal, Rev. c. Cotton Kimball. d. D.
The congregation was large and choice
and the interest deep.
The topic was the value and indispen-
sableness of Christian education. The
ideal school. said the speaker, was not the
denominational school, but the simply
and widely Christian school-the school
to which the pastor of any evangelical
church would be glad to send his own
children.
On such schools depended the preser-
walton of our national liberties, now
much imperilled by oyer-immigration,
trusts and monopolies, and the damaged
condition of the public conscience, as
shown by assaults upon the Sabbath, and
the cIamor for dishonest money.
Dr. Kimball is now settled with his
family in Mount Holly, at 1873 High street,
opnosite the court house.
