THE snow falling on the ice and be-

PROTZMAN.
The Photographer,

To MORROW will be grounding
day. Every year at that time the
grounding comes out to take a look
at the weather and decide how much
longer Spring is to be delayed. He
has been cramped up in his narrow
quarters and has been sleeping SO
long that he cannot stand much
light and in case the sun is shining
he scurries back to his den and the
advent of Spring is delayed for an
other period of six weeks

The Biggest pole.

Uniontown News Standard.
The longest campaign pole that was
ever raised in Uniontown is said to
have been ia 1874 for James X. Polk,
the nominee for President. 1t was
planted near the "Swan HOTEL now
the Brownfield house, and was over
300 feet high. 1t was raised amid a
great outburst of Democratic enthusi-
asm, and stood but a short time. A
typical mountain storm came along
one day and leveled it to the ground.
When it fell the top almost touched
the old Methodist church on Peter
street. That was in day when they
raised big poles.

THE RAT HUNT ENDED.

UNIoNTowN, Pa, Feb. 1.-The rat

count Of tails was made. The con-

and Councilman John III. Todd, each
OF whom had 20 or more 'ssoldiers. y
Frank S. Farquhar and Attorney l..

WHILE engaged in digging at Bal
timore last week, some work men
discovered a petrified woman. All
of her body, with the exception of
her tongue, was a solid mass of
stone. That important organ was
still in state OF comparative soft
ness as compared. with the rest of
her anatomy, indicating that it was
the last thing to knuckle under.
Possibly great truth is emphasized
by this incident-nevertheless we
publish the item without comment.
The young man who is petted too
much at home is seldom any good.
What is wanted nowadays is a prac-
teal man who can do something else
besides smoke cigaretts and twist a
cane. The time to learn to work
and to learn business habits is in
ones youth. He who leads the life
of a butterfly until he is % or 80
years of age, and then recognizes the
fact that he has made an ass of him
self, has precious little to recon-
mend him when he applies for a
job. This may be chestnut" but
it fits not few men of every town
and city in the Union. The boys on
the farm are better off, if they only
knew it, than thousands of the boys
who are at large. There is nothing
Ike being practical, and there is but
one way to be so. Acquire business
napits, and train yourself to good,
hard work. Don't waste your time
learning to tie cravat. You can
buy cravats already tied.

The mercury reached 10 below

probably went lower during the
night. There is no relief in sight
/ but the greater majority Of people
/ have now become used TO the low

enjoying it. 1t is fact that the
grip will not have an easy time with
the population as it has when the
weather is damp and rainy.

4 ADVICE is a very dangerous thing
to give. A few days ago a man was
ready to lick the editor because sui
phur in shoes had been recommended
as preventative Of the grip. On the
other hand another man who also
tried the remedy and found it to work
wanted to kill the advisor with kind
ness. The first man thought it was
a fraud of the rankest dye and the
other enc imagined that the wisdom
Of the ages was combined in the adj
vice.

The New Postmaster.

While we do not believe any Of the
1888 voters who expressed their pref
erence for postmaster Saturday would
say that any one Of the other candi-
dates was not qualified for the posi-
ton, and all would probably have
been pleased If it were possible to
have recommended all four for job,
there was but one indiyisible plum
and it was necessary TO concentrate
plurality upon some one. And
since the vote emphatically shows a
preference for G. @. Glass, in all
honorable controversy that settles
the hash" and his qualifications alone
are to be considered.
The Office of postmaster is eminent
ly business function. Not one man
in a dozen cares whether the man
who performs these duties in the
postoflice is a Democrat or a Republi-
can. But the exigencies of party
policy demand that the emoluments
shall so to the party in power. 1t is
the universal practice and no body
but political nonentity kicks at the
usage of the distribution of public
| patronage. We say the transactions
of the postoflice are conducted upon
strict business principles. Conse-
Quently a good business man is de-
manded for the place. This was I'M
doubtedly what the people chad in
their eye" Saturday, and in selecting
"Cykes" Glass,-as he is Familiarity
called with no intimation Of disre-
Spect in the fundamentally knew
what they were about. We say this
because Mr.. Glass, we believe, has
more generally come into intimate
| business relations with more men in
the last ten years than any other
man in the city, certainly than any
of the other candidates. We think
this explains the phenOminally large
vote he received. But it shows not
only that a great many men have haC
business relations with him but that
they were satisfied with the fairness
honesty OF purpose and honorable
character Of Ills business dealings
| AS bookkeeper for the large business
firm of f. j Burhyte, firm that die
an extensive credit business, we have
yet to learn that any man ever called
In question the fairness and integrity
of Mr. Glass in any business transac
tion. His many years service in Mr.
Burhyte's has familiarized him Will
| business details and when he goes in
to the postoflice he will assume the
! duties Of the Office where Mr.. Nc
Oregon drops them with adequate
apprehension OF responsibility, the re
CURED capabilities and the confirmed
determination to perform them il
the interest of the office and its pa
irons.

ment with ether remedies, even If
they are urged on you as just as good

are not as good, because this remedy
has a record Of cures and besides is
guaranteed. 1t never fails to satisfy.

The OUTGOING Postmaster

Roderick McGregor has served the
people here as postmaster two terms
of four years each, when his present
term shall have expired. He received
the appointment in each case from
President Cleveland, the only Dem
ocratic administration since the retire
ment of Buchanan in 1861. In adj
ministering the duties Of the office Of
postmaster partisanship cut no figure
with him. He performed the duties
solely in the interest Of those who did
business though the Office under in
structions from the central depart
ment. During all his term of service
we have never heard a complaint of
any kind against Mr.. McGregor. His
business methods were adequate to
the service, his courtesy and accom-
mediation all that the most exacting
could demand. The postof1ice comes
into the most intimate relations with
the people Of any department Of the
general government and every one
recognizes the honest intention Of the
government TO give the patrons-all
the people-the best possible service
that modern methods can devise for
convenience, accuracy and despatch.
a postmaster above all other officials
is required to attend TO his own bust
ness-and not to other peoples. The
department is especially exacting in
this regard upon the assumption
that every mans business concerns
himself most intimately. Mr. Nc
Gregor has never given the depart
ment OF the patrons an intimation
that he was derelict in this regard.
His kindly courtesy Of manner and
speech, as we'll as his ability to keep
his mouth shut when the exigencies
OF the case required will find its
counterpart in his successor. His
accommodating disposition and de-
sire to please everybody induced him
to keep the Office open beyond the
hours required by the regulations Of
the department. And so we all feel
most kindly toward the outgoing
pos master; he has the assurance OF
a service well done, and the apprecia-
tions Of those whom he has so ably
and conscientiously served. To his
successor we hope the same eneom-
igms may be as justly due.
