WORLD OE POLITICS.

Not Much Noise Above the Surface, But
Lots of Quiet Work Being Done.
In month and few days more the
Democrats of Luzerne county will meet
to name their ticket for next November,
So far the politicians and candidates
haye been exceedingly scarce in this
part, yet the blossoming out of delegates
IN nearly every district in the vicinity
proves that the ofiice-seekers are not
sleeping. That large amount of quiet
work has been done already can be
easily seen. 1t is rather hard task to
keep track of the many candidates in
the field. The crop, according to cal
culation made on Friday by the Neaos-
dealer, includes twelve who want TO he
commissioners, two for treasurer, two for
register, and one for controller. This
IS on the Democratic side. Republican
candidates are not SO numerous. but
their convention will have no trouble
in filling the ticket.
For commissioner Thomas Smith. of
Milnesville, will probably be one of the
Republican nominees and George Rimer
or +. L. Norton his colleague. The
Democratic ticket may be Edward Burke,
OF Pittston, and Owen Fritzinger, of
Freeland, or Tom McGraw, of Beach
Haven; or it may be Tom Dullard and
Charles Honeywell, of Plymouth, or
honeywell and John Helferty, of Haz-
Teton. A strong effort will be brought
about to defeat Dullard, but he may
pull through in the convention.
Sam Boyd, of Wilkes Barre, will get
the the nomination for controller with
out any great trouble, providing the
Ledaer is not successful in bringing out
candidate who will be man of extra
ordinary strength. Boyd, however,
seems to fill the bill, and it will require
considerable influence to beat him.
Three candidates are looking for the
Democratic nomination for register of
wllls-John j. Brislin, of Sugar Notch;
r. Z. Campbell, of Shickshinny, and
stanley Davenport, of Plymouth. Bris-
lin Is already booked as winner in th e
race.
No names have yet been mentioned
Tor the nomination of county auditors.
and even though it is not a high-salaried
slnecure it is good for three years and
pays few dollars per year. tbs gener-
ally looked upon as stepping stone to
something higher in the court house.
Inc Democratic county convention
Will be held on Tuesday, August %, and
the Republicans have fixed their date
for Wednesday, September o.
whoever the new controller NAV be
he will be given such chance to distin-
guish himself as no other man has ever
had before in the history of Luzerne
county. He will also find a sufficient
power in his hands to make him a wor-
thy rival of the czar of Russia. It is an |
Office full of opportunities for good or
EVIL, and the people should be exceed
ingly careful in their choice of a man for
this place. When the controller whis-
ties every officer in the court house
IRON garret to cellar has got to dance.
The right kind cf a man in this capacity
can save Luzerne county $4,000 the
very first twelve months he is in office.

Col. Lamont Using His Influence.

LAKEWOOD, N. j., Jan. 26.-Col. Daniel
Lamont, former private secretary to Mr..

yesterday and was met by Mr.. Cleveland,
who took him to the Cleveland cottage,

Bayard. A long conference followed in
Mr.. Cleveland's private study, and at 4
O'Clock Mr.. Cleveland conducted his ex-
secretary to the station, where Col. La
mont boarded the train for the city.
From knowing ones ii is learned that Mr..
Lamont's journey here was to use his in
fuence in persuading Mr.. Baysrd to ac-
cept the portfolio offered him by Mr..
Cleveland. Mr.. Bayard has been rather
undecided about accepting. II is said
Col. Lamont's visit was successful.

CARLISLE TARIFF BILL.
Much Speculation Regarding Its
Probable Features.
PRETTY GOOD PROTECTION
Expected That 1t VIII BE n Complete
Enactment. with a Groundwork of
Free Wool and Probably Free Lum-
Der and Iron Ore.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-There Is con-
siderable speculation in congress as TO
the tariff bill which Secretary Carlisle
will frame for presentation to the House
at the extra session, which is expected in
the rail-.
1t is expected that, while the principles
of the Mills bill will be observed, it will
differ from that measure in being a COM
plete enactment, covering all the SEIZED
ules, instead of simply an amendment OF
the schedules Of the act of 1888.
The Mckinley law and all preceding
tariff laws will be repealed, and the new
act will take its place.
The groundwork OF the new bill will be
free wool, and this will go into effect as
soon as practicable after the enactment
OF the law. The duties on WOODEN goods
will be reduced ! / proportion. The rates
fixed in the wooden bill. which passed the
present z last spring. will prob
ably be retained in the main.
A strong plea will be made by Demo-
cratic manufacturers who are advocates
OF free wool, to have the higher rate re-
tanned for at least a time. while they are
learning the advantages of different
woods and improving their methods OF
There will be some big cuts in the
metal schedule, but they will not serious
ly affect American manufacturers. Ger
tain kinds of trade machinery, which
have to be bought abroad, will come in
at lower rates.
Iron ore will probably be made free Of
duty. There may be a little opposition
to this from the southern mining dis
trlcts, but most of the Sou hern represen-
tativrs express no fear Of the results OF
free iron upon their market, aud believe
that the effect would be limited to the
s~eacoast.
Tin plate Is likely TO be left at 1 cent
per pound. as In the bill which recently
passed the House. A good many Demo
Gratis would be willing to see tin plate
free OF duty, IL the treasury could stand
the loss OF revenue. Those who are more
conservative believe that the duty of /
cent per pound may be useful in protect
ing the tin plate mills.
Silver lead ore will probably be made
free OF duty at once, unless leaving IL
upon the dutiable list puts our govern
ment in n better position TO treat for a re-
ciprocity arrangement with the Mexican
republic.
Manufactured articles which enter into
daily consumption will be reduced in
duty, and many chemicals will 20 upon
the free list. The need OF revenue will
keep articles of luxury. like liquors n
laces. well up into their present rates,
but articles which contribute to the COM
fort OF people Of moderate means will in
MANY cases be reduced.
The reduction will probably be applied
through almost the entire schedule Of
earthenw ware and glassware.
Sugar will remain free of duty, unless
the Imperative necessity for more reve-
nue. aud the desire to strike "A blow at the
trust LEADS to the adoption OF Mr.. Har-
ter's proposition, to make the duty half a
cent per pound on both raw and refined.

BALTIMORE, Jan. 26.-The News says
Baltimore enjoys the %unenviable distinc-
ton OF being perhaps the greatest hot
bed OF policy playing in the United
States. 1t has become a part OF the politi-
cal machinery oy which Baltimore is gov
erned.
The sellers OF lottery policies flourish with
practically no let up or hindrance. Tho
chief hackers OF the game, the News
states, are men we'll known in municipal
politics.
1t is asserted that officials In the police
department itself are concerned in the
business. BY means of the influences on
the vote OF lower classes welded by the
writers who, in nearly every instance are
ward heelers and precinct sub bosses, the
authorities charged with the vindication
OF outraged law have their hands tied.
News reporters visited forty places
wherein policy vas played. These places
employ over 500 men as "walking books"
who ply their trade in all parts of the
city.

Plenty Of Work for the Water and Sewer
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Rowland.
The cold weather and the present thaw
have caused plenty OF work for the depart.
ment of public works. The sewer depart
ment has turned out to assist the water
department in the labor of thawing
out the frozen service pipes. The
department has -four engines at work,
aud 1: there Is no recurrence OF the ex-
IRENE cold weather this will soon be fin
ished. The fact that there has been a
good layer of sno " on the ground during
the most OF the severe cold is the reason
that the water has not frozen in the
mains. As IL is it has been necessary TO
keep the water running by pumping in
some of the mains which have dead ends,
and IL is m that about 1000, 900
have been discharged daily in this way.
COMMISSIONS Smith has received n
letter from ;. y. Rowland, inspector of
the casting of the water pipes, who has
arrived at Admission, Ala. He states that
the work has not been begun on the con-
tract as the extreme cold weather IN that
section has necessitated the closing OF
the foundry for several days.
Officer Livsey has had a good many
peculiar questions and requests, u
never till last evening did anyone ask
Tor desk room. "A stranger came into the
