There's nothing new to be said
about the seasons. The quotation
from Riley's verse about sums up
the variableness of the three months
that include the spring: March, the
same old clustering roysterer, fore
ing the dust down your throat /;
fretful April, that baits you with a
sunbeam, to wet you with shower;
May, playing the coquette, hover
ing betwixt flowers and frost they
are all and always the same
There's nothing new, either, in the
way of spring sensations. There's
the general breaking out of men,
women, and children, that is as
much q sign Of the season as the
budding branches Of the trees.

OF all the appointments none will be
likely to give more satisfaction to people
acquainted with the situation than that
of the Hon. W. w. Thomas of Maine to
be minister TO Sweden and Norway. Mr..
Thomas has filed that particular office
for several terms we believe, and he is
greatly appreciated and much liked by
the Swedes and Norwegians, both at
court and among tho people. He speaks
the languages of the countries and his
wife is Swedish. He is scholarly man.
He is quite as much at home in Sweden
as in his own country, has received marks
of the distinguished esteem of King Oscar
and had the support of the King in his
colonization plans whereby n stream of
emigration was directed toward the
United States and the community OF New
Sweden in Maine was established under
his inspiration and direction. The Swed-
ish-Americans honor him highly, and
indeed regard him as sort of "a father,

interests. He was a visitor to Providence

Rrnmm for novernor.

The resolutions adopted by the Re
publican county convention yester.
day was a fitting climax to the popu.
larity of the nominees. The course
Of our Representatives in Congress,
and the d ninistration Of the Execu-
tive OF the state were endorsed.
In recognition of the long and able
services of Hon. Charles n. Brumm,
as a consistent Republican, his name
was presented as the choice of the
party of this county for Governor of
the Commonwealth, and the unani-
nifty with which the resolution was
adopted fittingly attests the popu-
larity OF SchuylkilI's able representa-
tive in Congress.
The endorsement of Mr. Brumm
for the highest position within the gift
of the people Of the state is compli-
ment we'll deserved, and one in which
his friends may well take much pride.
1t would be a fitting roundup of his
political career to occupy the Execu-
tive chair, and none would fill it with
greater ability.

yesterday by the storm. The most seri-

mill, valued at $2O,OOO was destroyed.
A cyclone passed over the eastern end
Of Fulton county, three farmhouses and
many barns and outbuildings being
completely demolished Many people
sought refuge in their cellars. Mrs.
Robinson and son, who lived near
Broad Albin, ran from their house
when they saw the storm approaching
and threw themselves on the ground
behind the barn. The structure was
blown down, and both were seriously
injured. The barn buildings of Thomas
Steele among the finest in the county,
were demolished. All the buildings on
the Hartwicll farm, including the resi-
dence, were destroyed.

Glencnlrn Defents Mono.

Montreal, Aug. 17.-Glencairn II, the
Canadian defender defeated Mono the
American challenger in the second Of
the series of races yesterday for the
Seawanhala- -Corinthian challenge cup.
The weather conditions yesterday were
the reverse Of those of Saturday, when
Mono won a stiff breeze blowing from
Is to 20 miles an hour, and the Cana
dian boat fulfilled the expectations that
had been reposed in her as being the
better heavy weather craft. Glen
cairn won by about the same margin
as that of Mono on Saturday and the
question of final victory in the series
is now admitted to depend largely upon
the strength Of the wind in the races
to come In a light blow Momo's
chances are decidedly the better, while
in a stiff breeze Glencairn is looked
upon as a sure winner.

known to the voters Of Schuylkill
county He was born in West
Brunswick township forty-one years
ago, and is a native Of pure American
ancestry. He is identified with many
OF the business industries Of his
native town He has always taken
an active part in the work of the Re
publican party in this county and
been a delegate TO no less than 81
county conventions and six state con
ventions He was chairman of two
county conventions and his course in
politics has always commanded the
respect Of the people.
The contest for Director of the
Poor resulted in the nomination of
John Rowe, of fremont. Though
never before an aspirant for political
honors, Mr.. Rowe has always been
active in the support of his party's
nomi 1ees The same spirit was
manifested in the contest for Jury
Commissioner, and the convention
made no mistake in choosing John
Anstock as the candidate for this
Office His neighbors in Mahanoy
City gave him the same hearty sup
port that they accorded their candi-
| for Sheriff.
Taken as a whole the convention
performed its work well, and we have
no doubt will meet with the ap-
proval of the party at large, and will
commend itself to the independent
voters of the county. The Republi.
cans have nominated a winning
ticket, and the result in November j,

The Ticket.

The Representatives of the Repub-
lican party Of SchuyllIill, in conven-
tion assembled, completed the work
delegated them in manner highly
satisfactory to the rank and file Of
the party. The nominees were the
choice Of the great majority of the
delegates This was made plain in
the contest for the Shrievalty nomi-
nation. In contrast to previous polit-
ical conventions, there were no states
or combinations, but each candidate
was placed before the convention
upon his own merits, any one of whom
would have made an acceptable nomi-
nee, and would have received the
hearty'support of the party voters at
large. 1t was in every sense a Re
publican gathering, devoid of all
cliques and combinations.
The nomination of Judge O. p,
Bechtel, as his own successor, was
foreshadowed in these columns sew
eral days ago, and is in line with the
past record of the Republican party
in favor of non-partisan judiciary.
The contest for Sheriff was a battle
royal, and the successful candidate
won the battle simply because he
was the choice of the convention. 1t
is no disparagement to the other can
didates in saying this. Charles o.
Smith and S. Roll Beddall each had a
large following, and the strength
shown by the latter places him in
line for future preferment at the
hands Of his party. He had his forces
well in line, and his large following
was in the nature of a surprise to
many of the party leaders. His
friends, while not successful, can
felicitate themselves upon the fight
they made for their favorite.
The nominee for Sheriff, Hester s..
Albright, Of Orwigsburg, is well

trunks of English goods admitted free

Il don't think the public takes any

reply, nor can 1 think any intelligent

AMONG the noticeable incidents in
connection with yesterdays conven-
ton, says the Miners Journal, was
the absence of any official participa-
tion in its proceedings of John j.
Coyle. 1t is true he was present
among the crowd of ISLANDERS that
lined the walls on the outside rim of
the convention, but it was evident
that he had been shorn of the effec-
tive strength that made him at one
time a prominent participant in the
councils of the party. Three men
who have been the subject of his
vituperation in his Mahanoy City
newspaper, and whom he spent his
best efforts to defeat as delegates
were present and voting for the very
candidate whose only weakness was
in the fact that he was supposed to
be Coyle's candidate. If Messrs.
Andrew J. Comrey, Harrison Bal
and William H. Jones desired to visit
upon Coyle's head the most torturine
revenge for his malicious and merci
less attacks upon them, they could
not have secured it in a more effective
way than was furnished by their com
rades in the convention, who during
the whole of it's proceedings utterly
ignored the presence Of the fallen
politician.
