Judge Above POLITICS.

ED. HERALD II feel impelled as a citizen
and taxpayer of ~Schuylkil county, who is
interested in holding the Judiciary, both
local and national, above politics, in express
ing through the columns Of your enterpris-
ing paper my sentiments in re-
gard to the coming election Of a sue
cessor to the Hon. O. p. Bechtelf
1 am not SO thoroughly familiar, as many
others are. with the exceptional ability and
training Of Judge Bechtel, but as an every
day observer Of people and current events I
have seen and heard enough to warrant me
in saying that the people Of Schuylkil
county, irrespective Of their politics, it
to themselves to place the election of Judge
Bechteps successor above politics, 1t can
hardly be disputed, at least not fairly so,
that Judge Bechtel's conduct upon the bench
has been marked by integrity, ability, and
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS that should mark
him among an intelligent people as a successor
to himself, aud the unanimous choice Of a
people who should not delye in the political
mire for q servant who is to discharge
judicial duties. Ispeak thus as "a Republican,
fervently hoping that my fellow-partisans
will see the wisdom Of placing Judge Bechtel
upon their ticket at the coming county con-
ventiOn for the Judiciary.

The Rain ran of 1906.

supt. L. c. Wagner, Of the Girard Water
Company, has kept a record Of the rain fall
at the c|ompany's Lost Creek dams since 1889
and has just issued in a neat form the record
for 1896. From it we learn the rain fall Of
last year amounted to 53.6s inches, an in
crease of 1887 inches over 1895. The average
for the past s years has been So. SO inches, so
that while the precipitation in 1896 was Of
fairly good quantity it was less than the
average. The fall last year was greatest in
July, 113 inches, and as hat is usually one
of the dryest months in the year the heavy
precipitation was very opportune for the
water supply. The lightest precipitation was
in December when but 1.2 inches fell, The
greatest fall in anyone day was on Nov. 5th,
1913 inches, a heavier fall than in either of
the months of January, April, May, August
September or December.

IN SENATE AND HOUSE.


Addioks Puts in a Claim to the Delaware
Senatorship.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-The senate was
on the verge of a deadlock late yesterday,
and for a time there were prospects of a
prOtracted test Of endurance. Mr.. Nor
gan, in charge of the Nicaragunn canal
bill, was determined TO secure a time for a
final vote. This was resisted, however, by
Mr.. Turpie and Mr.. Villas. Thereupon
MIR. Morgan announced that he would ask
the senate to sit out the bill, remaining in
continuous session until % vote was forced.
This evoked sharp criticism. Mr.. Villas
finally madea dilatory motion, which on
a roll call disclosed the absence of q
quorum, and Mr.. Morgan was obliged TO
give up his plan temporarily, although he
expects to execute it if an agreement for
a vote is not reached. Mr.. Turpie con-
cluded his speech against the Nicaraguan
canal bill, the third day being a continu-
ance Of the bitter invective directed
against the measure. During the day
Mr.. Chandler presented the credentials Of
John Edward Addicks claiming the va
can't seat as senator from Delaware. The
claim of Henry A Dupont for the same
seat has already been presented, while
Kenney will appear with his credentials
later.
After a two days debate, i'm the course
of which considerable partisan passion
was aroused and an Intellectual attempt TO
flibuster for the purpose of gaining time,
the house yesterday decided the contested
election cases of Yost VS.. Tucker, from the
Tenth Virginia district, by denying the
seat to Mr.. Yost and confirming Mr..
fuckers title thereto. The Republicans
were badly divided, ~flfty-four of them
joining with the Democrats and support
ing the claims of the Democratic con-
testee.
When the supporters of Mr.. Yost's con-
tentions found they were defeated by a
narrow margin of eight votes (the vote
being 119 TO 127 against htm) they inaugu-
rated a hlibuster in the hope of gaining
time, and for two hours there were a sue
cession of roll calls, but they were finally
o~verpowered by numbers, and the resolu-
tions confirming Mr.. fuckers title to his
seat were adopted. Mr.. Yostis a member
elect of the mex house and Mr.. Tucker,
who is a son of Randolph Tucker, has
been a member of the last four congresses.
He declined n denomination because he
did not agree with his party on the money
question.

One thing is certain 1t will not do to
fool with a bad cold. No one can tell
what the end will be. Pneumonia, Ca
tarrh, chronic bronchitis, if not con-
sumption, invariably results from a
neglected cold. 1t is surprising, too,
that bad colds are so often neglected
when one remembers how easily and
at what little expense they may be cured,
Chamberlain Cough Remedy is always
prompt and effectual, and costs but a
tritie; % or SO cents is trifle as com
pared with the disastrous effects of a
neglected cold. Mr.. Abner Mercer of
Dilworthtown, Chester County, Pa, in
speaking of this remedy, said: Some

Hunt, the druggist, recommended
