POLITICAL POINTS.

Colonel Laciar in The Tribune notes
that certain Democrat will probably
be candidate for congress next year.
Colonel Laciar is sometimes very fun
ny in his news items. The man he has
reference to is about the deadest politi-
cal hack there is in siXty-seven coun-
ties and stands about as much show for
election as Major William Hines
News-Dealer
The above refers to The Tribune s
mention Of Hon. Asa r. Brundage as a
possible aspirant for congressional
honrs next year. There is nothing
funny or improbable about this. Mr..
Brundage has within the past year be-
come very active in local Democratic
politics after having been "outside the
breastworks" for years. He is now
chairman of the Democratic city COM
mittee and had full delegation of his
own friends selected to represent the
first legislative district in the next
Democratic state convention. Mr..
Brundage is not n dead political
hack" but very much revived factor
in Democratic local politics. A good
many prominent Democrats have their
eye on him.

COURT house SCANDAL.
No Important New Developments but q
Great Deal OF Silence.

Great Deal of Silence.
It was not denied in court house cir
cles yesterday that the James NJ Nor
ris, chief clerk of the county commits
sioners, had made a confession sub
stantially admitting corrupt collusion
between Architect Meyers and the COM
missioners office in the division of
$4,000 paid out Of the county treasury
as advance commission to eyers. The
one thing that occasioned surprise was
that Norris should have compromised
himself in the manner h did. The
commissioners are not very happy over
the situation. but they deny in the most
emphatic terms the statement that the
commissioners received any portion Of
the money They are also very severe
in their denunciation of Norris, and un-
hestatingly allege that he is not re-
sponsible for any statement he may
make.
Whatever may be the outcome of the
scandal, no one doubts that the end oil
the new court house matter Is at hand.
The whole business will now collapse.
1t was yesterday confidently predicted
that Architect Meyers will endeavor to
collect the second instalment of $4,000
under his contract with the commits
s.oners. and If he succeeds in getting
the money. that will be the last heard
of him. At some time in the future,
after a new board of county commits
soners shall have been elected by the
people, a new court hause will be erect
d, and everything done in sensible
and busness-like manner. Fortunate
" for the taxpayers, their interests in
this contest are represented by attor-
neys who will probe the present scam
dal to the very bottom, and If guilt
can be established the people can rest
assured that prosecutions will speedily

THE LOWER END.
Effect of the Erection Of Quay County on
Local Politics.


Speaking of the Republican county
convention, to be held Aug. 6, the
Wilkes-Barre Record raises this inter-
esting question: what are we going
to do with the Quay county territory?
Shall we allow them representation in
the convention, and will they put up
any candidates for this county? Clear
ly, until the new county Is formally
erected they have the right to send
delegates. But they have no right to
ask for representation on the ticket
Whether or not Quay county IS erected
cannot be decided before Aug. 6, but
the people of the Hazleton region are
so confident that they will have
county of their own that they will not
hereafter take much interest in Lu-
zerne county politics. But LuZerne will
still be intact when the convention is
held, and If the Republicans of the
lower end choose to send delegates they
cannot be denied q voice in the con-
vention. If they present candidates
and can command enough votes to
nominate them, clearly they cannot be
barred out. 1t Is not at all likely, how
ever, that any complications will arise.
Possibly majority Of the election dis
tricts in the territory embraced in the
proposed new county will not send dele
gates, but they are clearly entitled to
do so. The lower end will in any event
have the state senator and the repre-
sentative in congress during the next
two years, and If Quay county mater
ializes Luzerne will be without a resi-
dent representative in the state senate
and in congress. This is a peculiar
position for the third county in the
state to be in. but there is no remedy
for 1t If the new county is erected.
But one thing is almost certain, If
the new county materializes Congress-
man Leisenring will not be renomi-
mated next year without the strongest
kind of opposition. There will be a de-
mand for the nomination of O Luzerne
county man. County pride, rather than
antagonism to Mr.. Leisenring, will be
the motive for cutting the present rep
resentative off with single term.

PECULIAR COAL CASES.
Tho Kingston Coal Company and Daniel
Edwards Defendants.


Edwards Defendants.
A somewhat novel and interesting
law suit will come before the Luzerne
court this week. The plaintiffs are H.
=. Cosgrove, william II. Hines and c.
Mortimer Lewis, who have brought
suit against the Kingston Coal com
pany and Daniel Edwards, demanding
s25 900 for coal taken out from under the
Main street of the borough of Edwards
Vile The plaintiffs claim to have ac-
uuired possession OF the coal underlying
this street by patent to CosgroVe ana
subsequently transferred to Hines and
Lewis. The land was originally sur
vcyed by the state and laid out into
tracts and roads. The state subse-
quently patented these roads to differ
ent parties, some of whom sold or
leased the same to certain coal COM
panies. When Mr.. Hines was In the
state senate, he says he discovered
that the main road, running through
Edwardsville. had never been taken up
by patent, and he had Mr.. Cosgrove
take it up. The strip of land is two
rods wide and extends from the river
bank opposite Northampton street,
Wilkes-Barre, through Edwardsville,
and to the top of the mountain beyond.
1t is claimed that the Kingston Coal
company has Illegally removed the coal
from portions of this land. while other
portions cf 1t have been robbed by
other coal companies, against which
suits have also been or will be brought.
The suit to be tried this week is some
thing in the nature of test case, and
is attracting considerable attention
among coal men. 1t is said that If the
plaintiffs win they will make in the
of one hundred thousand
dollars, but it will be a long and stub
born fight. The defendant companies
will, If they lose in the lower court, take
an appeal to the supreme court.
