News dispatches report that DIR. Ahlwardt
has arrived in this country for the purpose Of
beginning a crusade against the Israelites.
II that is his mission it is apparent that he
is not convcrsant with either the laws OF
this country or the sentiment of the people
1t is too late a day and too advanced an age
for any man to come to America to stir up
prejudice against any race or sect, and we
think DR.. Ahlwardt will find this out before
he is here many weeks

In is given out at Washington that Speaker
Reed and the Republican House of Repre-
sentatives are likely to support a bill re-
stricting immigration by the imposition OF
an educational qualification. This will be
welcome news to all intellisently patriotic
American citizens. The time is passed when
the United States can throw its gates open to
every class seeking an asylum Even Luzerne
county is now reaping the fruits of undesr-
able immigrants, and the time has come
when, i'm selt-prcservaton and in justice to
the immigrants that are now here, that a
restriction should be made.

ROANOKE, Va, Dec. 13.-News has
reached this city of a recent outrage being
perpetrated on white girl in Franklin
county, about twenty miles from here, by

wantonly murdered his victim. The girl

A Bedford county negro answers to the
description, and posse of citizens started
out in search of him. His whereabouts
was soon discovered but he made good his
escape by jumping from a window The
names of neither party could be learned.

The Daily News publishes dispatch
from Constantinoplo which says:
For days past Turks and Kurds have
been pouring into the city from the devas-

mary object is the disposal of the loot
which they have obtained during the mas.

is unwholesomely significant of the con

Thomas +. Jones, a special officer, yester-
day afternoon arrested an Arabian named
Joseph Anthony for peddling and took him
before Justice Bicrstcin. Anthony claimed
he was engaged in taking orders for Joseph
Mandour, of the First ward, and entered
bail for trial at court. At about the same
time Jones arrested another Arabian named
John Jabour on a similar charge, but did not
take him before a Justice. Last night the
officer was arrested by Constable Giblon and
taken before Justice Toomey on complaint of
Jabour, who alleges that Jones released him
after taking from him razor and two dol
lars. Jones made general denial and stated
that hc took no money from the man, but
was given a razor as security. He claims
that when arrested the Arabian said he
wanted the attendance of his friend Joseph
Mandour and would 90 for him, giving the
razor as security for his appearance with
Mandour before Justice Biersten. He
didn't appear, but entered the suit. Jones

THE RIGHT COURSE.

Our special correspondent at Pottsville
yesterday gave forecast of the probable
organization of the Board of Poor Directors,
which, if subsequent events will verify, may
mean a continuance of Republican power at
that institution for many years to come
This depends entirely upon the class of ap-
pointments that are made and the inaugua-
lion of reforms during the forthcoming year
Shortly after the election of Director
Middleton the HERALD pointed out the op-
portunity afforded him to shed lustrc upon his
name and the Republican party, of which he
is representative. lie was advised to re-
pudiate the administration of Jacob Day,
and join with Director Dietrich in correcting
the abuses that have crcpt into the manage
meut of the almshouse during the past year
or two.
1t is gratifying to know that Director Mid
dleton has recognized the wishes of his con-
sHtuents as expressed through the HERALD,
and his will be the reward. There is much
room at the almshouse for reform, and as the
responsibility for the administration of affairs
in this branch of county business is now
entirely in the hands of Republicans, the
members Of that party in particular, and the
public in general, expect clean, honest
transaction of the business of that institution.
To accomplish this the new Board must
start out right, and the first essential is com
petent and honest employees Without this
precaution the we'll meant reform ideas will
be given a setback during the entire term.
The public await the result of the delibera-
lions of the Board Of Poor Directors with
much interest
