A Superintendent DISCHARGED,
From the Hazleton Standard.

From the HaZleton Standard.
The South Side, particularly the en-
ployes of the Lehigh and WiIkesbarre
Coal Company, were given a sore shock
Tuesday evening, when it became pub
llcly announced that David X. Roberts,
the popular and efficient superintendent
of the Lehigh and Wlkesbarre Coal
Company, who has filled the position
creditably for the past several months,
would sever his connection with that
corporation. The news came so sud
denly that it created nothing short of Il
sensation. Mr.. Roberts has ever been a
kind and considerate official, and leaves
with the best wishes of almost every
employe in the works. He will be sue
ceeded by Assistant Superintendent
Conner Jones, who is reputed to be a
practical man in mining affairs.

what the Democrats object to. Some of
them had an idea that member of con
gress had no right to officially refer to
his opponent other than by the proper
party designation, and they asked one
of their leaders, Representative Dockery,
of Missouri, if Mr. Williams could not be
called to account for what they regard
ed as an offensive reference in a govern
ment publication to the Democratic state
chairman of Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Williams has right to call Mr.
German a Popocrat, l suppose said
Mr.. Dockery, ''but | consider that any
man who would so refer in cold type to
IA defeated rival long after the election
in a supposedly official and nonpartisan
publication, is sadly lacking in the
quality of courtesy. He is certainly TO
be pitied for his obvious absence of good
breeding"
This caustic comment from one of the
minority leaders of the house shows how
lieenly the silver Democrats resent the
party nickname, "Popocrats,' bestowed
upon them by the Gold Democrats dur
ing the presidential campaign. They
all have it in for Mr.. Williams, but can
do nothing in the matter.

To the above the Wilkesbarre Ne1os
dealer adds the following pertinent con-
ment: The 1900 odd Democrats of
Luzerne who voted for Mr.. Garman and
whom Mr.. Williams gratuitously insults
have the proud satisfaction of knowing
that Williams didn't write word of it,
for he cannot write correctly sentence
of ten words. And while Mr.. Williams
was about his biographical sketch he
might have added that he ran behind
Mckinley 1,694 votes; he ran behind
Commissioner Hay 1,50s votes, and that
while Mckinley carried the county by
over 5000 votes Mr.. Williams beat Mr..
Garman only 2,937 votes. That Mr..
Garman led his party vote by a thousand
majority is pretty good showing for
even a Popocratic candidate, as Mr..
Williams calls him. Mr. Williams really
ought to be little more modest. He
has nothing to boast of in the fight he
made for congress against Mr.. Garman."

writer rolled and tossed on the troubled
sea Of sexual weakness until II was q

take a dose OF poison and thus end all
his troubles. But providential lnspira-
ton came to his aid in the shape OF a
combination OF medicines that not only
completely restored the general health.
but enlarged his weak. emac4ated parts
to natural size and vigor. and he now

the trouble to send his name and ad-
dress may have the method OF this Won
derful treatment free. Now when I

Now that the change has been made,
the policy Of the new administration

Just as soon as the postmaster gen
eral can issue the treasury rules for
the guidance of the department the
new limited indemnity registration law
will go into operation. The law pro-
vides that the sender or owner Of first
class registered mail matter may by
the payment Of very small fee insure
ii against loss 10 the extent Of SO.
The indemnity in the case Of loss will
be paid out Of the postal revenues This
seems TO be only just, and the wonder
is that some such provision has not
been insisted on before. Heretofore the
sender of registered mail matter had
no assurance that it would reach its
destination, and had no recourse in the
event Of its loss. True, the postal au-
thorities exercised greater care in the
transmission Of registered packages
but if they were lost there was an end
ont OF 14,42S,0S1 pieces Of registered
mail carried last year only one piece
in 21,3O5 was lost. The insurance Of
this loss at so apiece would not have
cost the department $1,000. A fee Of
one mill apiece on the total carried
would have more than paid double
the loss to the department.

with President Mckinley that the first
thing to be done is to enact such tariff
legislation as will increase the revenues

than turning out democrats and filing
their places with republicans. Let the
