From Pottsville Republican,
Charles T. Staughn, of the Shenandoah
EVENING HERALD, and genial George Brill
assistant train dispatcher of the l.. V. rail
road at Deano, are full-hedged candidates
for delegates to the Republican State Con-
vention. They will be opposed by that pair
of beauties whose unsavOry record is written
in the proceedings of the late Legislature
Senator Coyle and Sergeant-at-Arms Wyatt
The latter will have the boss" at their
backs, but we have faith to believe that the
honest Republicans Of the Thirticth Dis
trict will take advantage Of this opportunity
to express their contempt for these two
great" political 'pretenders" by relegating
them TO private life and electing Messrs.
Straughn and Brill, who are gentlemen with
clean hands and clear heads, as wei. as Re-
publicans who caunet be trAed with by local
pothouse politicians or swayed by state
bosses" We may be mistaken, but for the
good of the Republican party, and the sake
of public decency, we hope not. There is
not much to be done by the coming conven-
ton, but what is done should be done by
men whose actions will not bring disgrace
and perhaps defeat, upon the party.

Ottawa, Ont. July 2l.-The Richelieu

complained to the minister of customs
that American steamers are reported
to be carrying excursions between
Canadian points, contrary to law. The
steamers evade the law by merely call

giving the coioring of international

that the practice, which has been
largely patronlzed by church picnics,
and which extends all over the st.
