everyone who really wants the JOUR-

., A s TO when the newspapers
SS first began to pitch into the
n monthly gas-bills," said the
gnsmnn, us he was asked to
cell his story, I'VE have no statis-
tics to show, but it was probably
very soon after the first bills were
sent out. No man has been more
abused during the last hundred years
than the gusman, and yet no man has
been less deserving of 1t. The keenest
and shrewdcst citizen will let his grocer
cheat him out of pint of oil on every
gallon of kerosene he buys, and he will
not weigh his meat or sugar or bread
60 look for cheat, but no sooner has u
gas-bill been rendered than he is ready
TO declare it an extortion. In my twen-
ty-five years behind the counter in n
Rns Office have listened to the kicks
and complaints and threats of tens of
thousands of consumers, nnd am going
20 my grave with but one pleasant rec
election. One day, after 1913 citizens
lad come in and paid their bills under
protest, and each one had intimated
more or less strongly that was high
way robber and deserved lynching a
nttle old man tiptoed in and paid his
monthly bill of 90 cents and asked for
my photograph. He said our gas was
fhe best he ever burned. He said our
meters were things of beauty. He
thought the president of our company
ought to be made governor of the
state, and declared that any man who
impugned my honor was his enemy.
To discover such n man was an oasis
En the desert of life, and was cheered
and encouraged for two weeks. Then,
alas! the discovery was made that his
meter had been out of order for three
or four weeks, and he had been running
n burners night and day for less than
the cost of one!

ffFU Nhlo newspaper talh ABOUT the
80 plumbers profits make me
tired" said the plumber, as he
wearily leaned against his
desk and cast his eyes on the ceiling.
81 was just going out to hunt up some
body who'd lend me $50 for n week,
and even if 1 get it heaven only knows
when 1 can pay it back. Money in the
plumbing business? Why, man alive,
look at the failures reported by the
commercial agencies and you will see
that three plumbers fail to one grocer
or butcher There cannot help but be
faiiures-lots of 'em. A man goes into
the business simply as pastime. The
most he hopes for is to come out even
at the end of the year, and, though
few of them do, the rest hang on to
use up the stock in the back room.
There are shoemakers who ride in their
carriages and run the politics of a
ward, but the plumber must go en- foot
and be nobody. The public would
have treated him right and given him
a fair show but for the newspapers.
They have held the plumber up as a
robber and a villain, and nothing he
can do can change public opinion.
"A water pipe bursts" continued the
plumber as he drew diagram with
his finger on his desk. "The plumber

it must be inspected from all sides.

Necessary 90 a choice 30.
The preliminary skirmishing has been
attended with great bitterness and dis
sension in The ranks of the Republi-
cans, who have considerable ma
iority in both houses. These dissen-
sions nave rendered it impossible to
bring about a Republican caucus, and
at this writing there seems to be little
probability that this method of settling
the dispute win be resortcd to in the
near future. A long deadlock now
seems inevitable.
The Democrats are using every pos
sible means to foment the discord and
prevent a compromise. There are many
who believe that it may yet be possible
for Senator German to succeed himself,
If he can carry the next legislative
election in November, 1893 This possi-
bility is, however admitted by the
Democratic leaders to be a very remote
one, and they are looking rather to the
problem of further dividing the Re
publican ranks by aiding i'm the election
of man who is not the choice of the
majority of his party.
OF the candidates who We're voted for

and General Shryock are the most like
ly to remain to the end, although there
is a possibility that-any of the others.
as well as some whose names do not
appear in the list, may in the end carry
off the prize. One of these is Mayor
Malster, of Baltimore. Although not an
avowed candidate, it is certain that he
would not be averse to wearing the
toga, and there is much talk here con-
cerning the possibility of another coali-
tiOn between the Democrats and the
'Malsterites," or faithful eleven" foI
the purpose of eleCtiug the leader Of
the anti-organization wing of the Re.
publican party. That such a thing is
possible there is no doubt, and it is
freely asserted that Senator German
and his lieutenants will try their best
to bring about such a result whenever
it is demonstrated that deadlock is
no longer practicable,
Today at noon balloting will be re.
sumed, this time in joint session. and
will be continued until a result is reach.

is no reason to expect an election this

candidate, is believed 10 have polled
very nearly his full strength, and it is

FIRST WARD CONTEST.
The Fight Tor school Director Exoites
Much Attention.

The residents of the First ward, both Dem
ocrats and Citizens, display much interest in
the primary election to be held tomorrow
afternoon, between the hours of 400 and 500
o'clock. There will he but one ticket n omi-
mated in that ward-the Democratic-and
hence the members of the Citizens party, be-
ing compelled to vote for the Democratic
nominees, or not at all, are necessarily inter
ested as to who these nominees shall be-
There is no opposition to William Mcclure
for reelection to Council. The people of the
ward recognize that as a member of that
body he is an able and conscientious repre-
sentative.
The fight, therefore, centres upon the
School Dictatorship with the Assessorship as
side play. The term of Frank Hanna ex-
pires, and he has been making house to-
house canvass for reelection, in the face of
strong opposition. The voters of the ward
having prevailed upon Thomas Sheehy, a
young man having every qualification to
become r candidate for this important office,
he has made active campaign and has
every assurance of success.
The friends of Mr.. Hanna, seeing defeat
staring them in the face, have circulated the
report that none but those who have voted
the Democratic ticket for two years previous
will be allowed to vote tomorrow, and inti-
mate that it is in accordance with the Act of
1881. This law says no such thing Besides
to prohibit any member of the Citizens party
so inclined, from voting at the primaries to-
morrow would result in DISTINGUISHING large
body of citizens, especially so in view of the
fact that it is the only means Of expressing
their choice of candidates.
Let no citizen be deprived of his vote by
these statements. We have it from high legal
authority that if voter, no matter at what
primary, swears to support two-thirds of the
ticket nominated, he is a legal voter at the
primaries. We have both law and precedent
for this opinion. In the present case there
will be but one ticket in that ward, and all
citizens have a legal right to their choice of
nominees. To deprive them of this right
would be r clear violation of law and justice.
No local committee has the right to make
rules for the Democratic party of Schuylkill
county.
A number of citizens of the ward have
made inquiry of the HERALD as to the law
on the question, and we find there smoothing
to prevent all citizens in that ward from
voting at the primaries, if they will support
two-thirds of the ticket nominated.
