THE REAL MOTIVE.

When the Pottsyillc Republican has no
other argument to put forth against Senator
Quay it uots out the Reading Company as a
bugaboo to frighten the timid. Its manner
of doing this is thoroughly demagogic, but
its continued cry of Wolf" scares no one
and is very amusing to people who under
stand the motive behind it, The Reading
Company and its methods are pretty well
known i'm Schuylllill county and it needs no
defense from us, but we are in a position to
say that no orders have been issued up this
way to turn i'm forauy one shenandoah has
more Reading employees among its people
than amy other town in the county, and if
orders had been given anywhere it is natural
to assume it would be done here where its
employees are a power.
This, however, win not make much differ
euce to our misguided contemporary, as its
motive is not so much to make people believe

l.. Hines of Kinzers, this county, who
alleges that Kennedy forged the name of
w. NJ. Tinsley to a promissory note for
$3.50 90 and induced Hines to give him the
money for it. 1t is asserted that Kennedy

THE BOARD oF HEALTH.

ItE bOAhb W hhhh IL
At its meeting last night there was almost
a complete shalc-up of officials and two of
the three positions were filled by the election
of new applicants. Mr.. John Curtin being
elected tosuccccd Mr. Thomas NJ. Scanlan as
secretary and Hon. Patrick Conry to succeed
Edward Miles as Health Officer DR. Spald-
ing succeeds himself as president Of the
Board for the second time and enters
upon his third successive year as pre-
siding officer. He can be expected to per-
form the duties of the office conscientiously |.
and without fear or favor, which has been |
his record for the past two years. Mr.. Curtin, |
the new secretary is young man who is |
very favorably known to our citizens and has
filed responsible clerkship in the freight
department of the Lehigh Valley depot for
several years with so much satisfaction to the
company and its patrons that there is no room
for doubt as to his qualifications for the
Office to which he has been elected.
Mr. Conry, the new Health Officer,
is as well, if not better, known TO the
citizens of the town as Messrs Spalding and
Curtin, having been member of the Legis-
lature and served many years on the School
Board, of which he is still member. While
such he has frequently displayed admirable
executive ability, especially while president
of the Board, and he should make an excellent
guardian of the public health. One of his
characteristics is independence and fidelity
to the convictions of his best judgment.
Experience Of the past two years has shown
that lust such a man is required for the
office Of Health officer.
As to the retiring officers we feel justified
in saying that they have performed their
duties well and in accordance with their
honest convictions. There may have been
times when they, especially the Health
officer, incurred the dispeasure Of some
people but such instances undoubtedly arose
from fidelity to duty in cases where the eX-
igencic4 of the law and health regulations
allowed no alternative. To leave Office
satisfied that one has performed his duty as
he conscicntiously and honestly construed it
is great satisfaction, and we believe Mcssrs
scaulan and Miles have every reason to feel
that way.
1t is clear that the change of officials and
