Now that the suggestion meetings and
primaries are over and three political
parties in this borough, Republicans,
Democrats and Prohibitionists, have
nominated their tickets, the proper
thing to do will be to look over each
ticket and select out the best men that
have been nominated, regardless of pol
itics. Politics should not "cut any ice''
in the municipal election. The voters
and tax payers should consider the i'm
portance of the borough election. Ev-
cry man should use his best judgment
in the matter and not be influenced by
politics or political ringsters.

"The newspaper is vital part Of our
modern social economy. 1t daily per-
forms an important and Indispensable
service. 1t is insoparably interviewer
with our whole social, political and

OF society, as well as business require

of this publication, there are sometimes
evils. No great institution is altogether
free from them. Railroads sometimes
kill people, but nobody proposes to
abandon railroads, and the good results

BRAINS VERSUS LUCK.

Every business man can call to mind
certain men in his particular line OF
business who seem to succeed with little
effort in undertakings where others fail.
This class of men are usually spoken Of
by their friends as being lucky: aud
having natural talents; as being to the
manner born, etc. None know the fal-
lacy of these popular suppositions so
we'll, however, as do the successful men
themselves. The cases are rare where
successful men would not have been
equally successful in lines other than
those they follow, because energy is the
power that bridges difficulties, Brains
are certainly an important factor, and
while brains cannot be purchased, they
can be developed by study and practice,
but with the largest equipment OF brains
success does not follow, unless there be
application, industry and energy. On
the other hand, industry and energy
often go far to supply deficiencies In
talent and brain power. Probably the
highest compliment that can be paid to
a mechanic is to tell him that he
performs difficult work with ease, but
no words appeal so little as these to the
ears of men who have spent hours in
accomplishing what the uninitated
think requires but few moments

Charity of speech is as divine thing
as charity of action. To Judge no one
harshly, to misconceive no mans mo-
tivcs, to believe things are as they seem
to be until they are proven otherwise,
to temper Judgment with mercy-surely
this is quite as good as to build up
churches, establish asylums and found
colleges.
Unkind words do AS much harm as
unkind deeds. Many heart has been
wounded beyond cure, many II reputation
has been stabbed to death by a few little
words. There is charity which
consists in withholding words, in keep
ing back harsh Judgment, in abstaining
from speech, il to speak is to condemn.
Such charity hears the tale of SANDER,
but does not repeat it; listens in silence,
but forbears comment; then locks the
unpleasant secret up in the very depths
Of the heart. Silence can still rumor;
it is speech that keeps story alive and
lends IL vigor.

The dwellings were placed on mounds OF
clay raised above the level of the water.
The framework of primitive loom
was found under one mound. and the
number Of broken bone needles and
bone splinters discovered in another
mound led the explorers to think that
II may have been the site Of an an
rient needle factory. Very few human
bones have been discovered. but among
the interesting finds is a blue glass
