WHAT THE LONDON SPECTATOR
SAYH.

Ut encouragement is what we are
looking for from across the water. the
lnaglish press Is furnishing It. The
London Spectator, for instance, says
that "the only hope Is in the United
States sternly declaring that ths Span
1sh troops must leave the island, and
that them the Cubnrs must be allowed
to settle their own fate and to decide
whether they will have Autonomy or
Independence. That the United States
would be morally justified in saying
that the war must now end, and Cuba
be givca peace. WE do mot doubt for a
mcment."
Certainly what they want Is indepen-
dence and there can be no doubt about
the United States being justified in
asyhag to SPAIN that Cuba must be
given r:ace. What we want is to see
the war ended. The rests will be easily
settled

BROUGHT BACK FROM THE GRAY,

Last November Mr.. Joseph James,
painter, of BIS w. Pearl ST., Indianapo-
lis, Ind, was at DEATHS door with quick
consumption. Wasted to skeleton;
his lungs n mass of liberation; his
death was hourly awaited by his doctor
and family. He was kept i'll constant
stupor with opium. A friend, thinking
to relieve his terrible cough, gave him a
bottle of Brazilian Balm. Seeing its
wonderful effect, the doctor advised its
continued use. Mr.. James soon after
dismissed his doctor, and depended
on the Balm alone. His recovery was
rapid and complete, and III February he
returned to work. His lungs arc sound,
and his weight greater than at any time
in his life. His recovery is regarded as
almost miracle.

The Former Will Hold a Mass Meeting in
Robbins Opera House, and the
Democratic Hosts Will be

The present somewhat unusual political
campaign in this county will close tonight,
so far as the spell-binders are concerned
Every election district in the county, has
been visited by the speakers of the two
parties, and they will both close the campaign
by mass meetings here tonight, making heir
second appearance in Shenandoah.
1t is difficult, on the eve of election, to pre-
dict the result of to-mOrrows contest Both
the Republican and Democratic leaders pro-
fess to be confident of success. while the sup
porters of DR.. Swallow say he will carry the
county. The latter prediction is not based
upon good judgment. The preacher candi-
date will hardly receive 1000 more votes in
this county above what was cast for him last
year. jerks will probably carry Schuylkill
by small plurality, with Stone very close
second. The latter has gained wonderfully
within the last week. hundreds of Repubi-
| cans deserving tle Swallow ranks and falling
in line for the Republican candidate for
Governor. The latter, from present indica-
tions, will be elected by not less than IS 600
plurality.
Advices from different parts of the county
indicate large independent vote so far as
the county ticket is concerned, which makes
it difficult to forecast the result The Repub-
lican county chairman however, is confident
of success, and it is safe to say that majority
of the candidates of that party will be sue
cessful.
One of the most interesting contests is that
for Senator in this district, with David NJ.
Graham as the Republican standard bearer.
Shrewd political forecasters say that Mr..
Graham will be elected. He has united
party at his back, and his personal popularity
has enlisted many Democrats to his support.
Dr. Reitzel, the Republican candidate for
Legislature, will also be elected.
The Republicans will hold mass meeting
in Robbins opera house this evening, begin
ming at 1880 o'clock. The principal speaker
will be Gen. J. p. S. Goblin, candidate for
Lieutenant Governor. He is very forciful
talker, and will no doubt attract large
audience. The other speakers announced are
Hon c. N Brumm and $. Burd Edwards,
Esq, the latter candidate for District Attor-
ney. This is Mr.. Edwards first appearance
here on the stump in this campaign
The Democrats have secured Ferguson's

THE JUDICIARY,
A Correspondent shows ConclusiveIy That
Judge Koch is u Non-Partisan,

n correspondent SHOWS COnClusiVely That
Judge Koch is IA Non-Partisan.
EDITOR HERALD:-The Democratic press
admits the principle Of a bipartisan iu-
dietary, but tries to make Mr.. Marr appear to
be a bipartisan candidate. | am glad to
note that these newspapers at last succunlb to
the inevitable by admitting the correctness
of the principle. This scores victory
Now, let US see who is the non-partisan
candidate. The Democratic organs assert
that Mr.. Mari voted for one Republican for
Judge namely, Judge Green. They say,
however, that Judge Koch never voted for
Democrat in his life, and yet it is well known
that he voted for Judges Pershing and
Bechtel, two extreme partisan Democrats.
This demonstrates that Judge Koch is at
least twice as good a supporter of a nom
partisan judiciary as Mr.. Marr.
The false statement regarding Judge
Koch's attitude on non-partisan judiciary
is on par with the other campaign stories
concerning him. The people know what is
meant by non-partisan judiciary, and they
will again endorse it tomorrow by voting
for Judge Koch to succeed himself They
will say that good Judge shall be retained
in the public service, and that he shall not be
set aside to give place for a mere partisan
nominee. They will say also that the Re-
publicans shall have at least one Judge out of
four on the Bench in this county.

-Four residents, Adoph Rose John Smith
Adam Nawick and the latter's wife, all of
Brownsville, were shopping in town Saturday
evening. After returning home and leaving
Nawck's wife at the door, the men agreed to
repair to neighborng saloon to have a
drink. The midnight hour having set in
they were compelled to take the back door.
When dark spot was reached Smith was
attacked by his two comrades and knocked
down with IA piece of iron. He was exposed
to the cold for over two hours, but finally
gained sufficient strength to walk to his
home. His left shoulder was badly bruised
and his right hand lacerated, while his right
hip is terribly swollen. His assailants have
been arrested and were placed under $500
bail, each, by Justice Shoemaker. The
victim has been sent to the Miners hospital

They were rolling their plunder along Oak

but the case was Subsequently dropped as the

Firebugs are again at work at Mahanoy
City, the shirt factory operated by Harry
Bushar and located near the Lehigh Valley
depot, being totally destroyed by fire early
yesterday morning. The building, which
was owned by Ball & Kutz, was totally de-
strOyed, entailing loss of 81 800 with 81 900
insurance. The loss on the machinery and
stock is placed at So, 7OO with 81, 900 in
surance. The factory employed 66 hands
and its destruction is a severe blow to Maha-
noy City. 1t was the work of incendiaries.

POLITICAL PREDICTIONS.
Opposing Party Chairmen Figure Out

Opposing Party Chairmen Figure Out
the Election of Their Candidates.
Philadelphia, Nov. 7.-Republican
State Chairman Elllin has prepared an
estimate by counties giving his view
of the result of next Tuesdays vote
for governor. He claims that the Re-
publican candidate, William A Stone,
will be elected by plurality of 131 900
over GeorgeaA. jerks, Democrat in a
total estimated vote of $50 900. To Rev.
DR.. Silas c. Swallow, the Honest
Government" candidate, he allows a
total of 149,760 votes, claiming that
Swallow, who carried ten counties in
the contest for state treasurer last
year, will not have a plurality in any
county. Mr.. Elkin comedies that jerks
will carry 20 of the 81 counties and ac-
knowledges a standoff in three others.
He claims that the next legislature
will be largely Republican in both
branches, and predicts the failure Of
the fusion movement.
Chairman Garman, of the state COM
mittee, makes this predictions:
81 estimate that 1000, 900 votes will be
cast, divided about as follows: jerks,
4S0, ,000 Stone, 1896 900; Swallow, 175 900,
which will leave jerks at least 35 900
plurality. l do not care to give fig
ures as to counties, but our whole ef-
fort has been to have cast for jerks
as many votes as were cast for Bryan
in 1896, which is 422,O0O and my ad-
vices indicate that we will exceed that
figure. The Palmer Democrats and
those who voted for Mckinley who now
intend to vote for jerks will more than
offset any Democratic detection to
Swallow"

also issued an address claiming that
Swallow will be elected
