All agree that it was the highest
water ever known in this vicinity,
in some cases there being two or
three feet of water on the planks
of the iron bridges.
1t would be impossible to estimate
the damage at present but it will
probably reach thousands of dollars
along the Paupack alone.
Mrs. Charlotte Sanders, who has
been i'll, is getting better.

rescued with boats. His wagons
and farm utensils were all carried
away. The county bridge at his
place is now some 400 feet from the
stream, which now follows the
road, Kipp's orchard is ruined, his
fnrm wreck and his barn is most
ly without foundations. His loss
will reach $700

THE NExT GOVERNOR.

Papers generally throughout the
state are beginning to comment on
the possible candidates for governor
nextyearand their chances ofelection.
SO far most of them are non-comnit-
tai as to Individual preferences but
those speaking urge that the candi-
date should be free from entangling
factional alliances. The disastrous
Delamater campaign Of 1890 is point
ed to as warning Of what may hap
pen if the above injunction is not
needed. There is no reason-that
is, no sufficient reason-why the
republicans of the state should not
nominate man for whom the whole
party will vote. That a man can be
elected, counting even on a consider
able DETECTION because Of the large
normal majority in the state, is no
reason why he should be nominated.
He should not he. There are many
men with an ambition to be governor
but ambitions should not be made
paramount in the selection of can
didate. The governor is the head of
the. ticket and should add to its
strength. There are the local candi-
dates, the congressman, the repre-
sentatives, and they are entitled to
the aid which strong name at the
head will give. They should not be
compelled to carry the load of an un-
popular nomination, for while the
head Of the ticket might be elected
the detection of few votes in a close
district might defeat the congressman
and this result be attributed wholly
to an unfortunate nomination for
governor. Surely there are men in
the state, many of them, who would
make excellent chief magistrates and
who have not been so identified with
factions as to make them obnoxious
to any considerable number of voters.
Men on whom all would unite if q
proper spirit guided public senti.
ment. The proper thing to do is to
let the nominee represent the popu-
lar sentiment, let the people and moi
the bosses make the nomination, and
then the people will be responsible
for the election. In view Of what
has been the rule in this state the
above may sound utopian but there
seems to be ample reason to believe
that the time has come to somewhat
change the rule if the party is t.
retain its prestige.

supervisors who see many days of

our roads are badly washed, in fact
only deep gullies remain, but the
cutters, filed with leaves and twigs
which turnod the water in the
roads, are in many cases not dis
turbed and are several feet above
danger line. All authorities on
good roads complain that roads are
not properly worked and some of
the reasons are that some supervis-
ors want to make too much money
out of the.S ID and so do not perma-
neutly repair but only patch up the
bad places. The cutters are not
kept cleaned ontdso. the water is
turned in the roads. Wire fencing
is not used because this would obvi-
ate snow5drifts inwinter. The cost
of cleaning the roads of drifts in
one winter would buy all the wire
necessary to fence them and put it
up, too. The auditors at settlement
day should enquire whether super
visors presenting bills for extra
work we're careless and neglectful

they are not really to blame in
many cases for the conditions which
were favorable to causing damage
If officers were held to stricter ac-

suffer less and there is no good rea
son why roadmasters should not be
compelled to perform their duties in
keeping the roads in fairly secure
