The death of William G. Harrington

claims on Peelstick Hill, just north of
the Hamburg mine oil Prospect Mount
ain, from which he expected to realize
a fortune. He plodded ON in his hope,
giving twenty years of his life and all
his earnings to a fruitless effort, which
he only abandoned when physically
and financially unable to longer prose
cute the work. He was an upright and
honorable citizen, and during his ups
and downs in his many years residence
ON the Base Range he always held him
self up and commanded the respect and
confidence of the best people of this
community.

The note of warning soundad bv ,ho
SENTINEL three weeks ago, and repeated
the following week. was emphasized in
a startling manner when the neVvs
spread through the town last Monday
morning that malignant scarlet fever
had broken out in Eureka and the
school had been closed.
The many cases of throat trouble and
scarlet rash which continued among the
children induced several citizens IN
consult County Physician Burnett ON
the health situation in Eureka, and as.
certain If 1t were mo- wise to close the
school. The fact was brought out
that there were three cases of malignant
scarlet fever in town, two being in one
family. Whereupon, DIR. Burnett was
requested to appear before the Board of
School Trustees and make a statement.
with a recommendation that as n nre.
caution to prevent the further spread
ing of the disease and avert a much.
feared epidemic the public school should
be closed.
DIR. Burnett Immediately performed
the duty imposed upon him, with the
result that when the children assem-.
bled at the school house on Monday
morning they were dismissed for the
week, and longer if need be.
It was learned Friday that there are
four cases of scarlet fever, one of
measles. and one of malignant sore
throat in Eureka. All the children are
reported as doing well, but the situa.
ton is not encouraging as the late cases
have the worse symptoms of the dis.
eases, high temperature, heart weak.
ness. depression and languidness. A
good storm is badly needed to clear the
atmosphere and end the anxiety which
now concerns every one.
School Trustees Cronant and Laird
the SENTINEL that the school
will remain closed until the physicians
declared the town free from the
sickness. The probability is
the school will remain closed until
after the holiday vacation.

TIE GOVERNOR AND HIS PARTY.

The Republican Party is having
a good deal of trouble with Govern
or Pennypacker. They had to vote
for him when he was nominated
because he was the machine candi-
date. After he assumed his official
duties he baked and kicked over
the traces, and then they wanted
to get rid of him. When Chief
Justice McCollum died the bosses
saw chance to shelve him by
nominating him next year for the
Supreme bench and getting his re-
signation as Governor. But he
spoiled it all by appointing Samuel
Gustine Thompson, Democrat, to
fill the place, and then with child
like simplicity confessing that he
had selected a Democrat so that
there would be nothing to prevent
his own election as Supreme Judge
next year. Such a move on his
part was SO Objectionable that the
Republican papers have not dared
to attempt to uphold him in it, and
a denunciation has been raging
throughout the state.
The Wilkes Barre Rec0yd, the
leading republican organ of Luzerne
county, says:
I'VE do not recall any matter
concerning which the Republican
newspapers of the State were ever
SO nearly of one mind in condemn
ing as they are Governor Penny
packers scheme for trading off the
governorship for a Supreme Court
judgeship. 1t is project so utter
ly at variance with the high STAN
dards the people believed character
ized Samuel w. Pennypacker that
unless he had publicly confirmed
the truth OF the damaging charge
against him 90 per cent. of the
people of Pennsylvania would not
have believed it. The Governor S
true friends i'll Philadelphia, who
are endeavoring to persuade him
to renounce his ambition and re-
deem the pledges he made OH the
stump as candidate for Governor
believe that the opportunity is still
his to recover his lost prestige and
regain the confidence and respect
of the people of Pennsylvania.
Perhaps they are right, but should
he heed the counsel of disinterestec
friends how long would it be before
he again plunged headlong into
some other reckless scheme? TIL,
fact is that Governor Pennypackel
is lacking what is sometimes called
balance wheel"

routes or shall break open the same,
or wilfully or maliciously injure,
deface or destroy any mail matter
deposited therein, or shall wilfullv
take or steal such matter from OF
out of such letter box or other re-
ceptable or shall wilfully aid OF
assist in any of the aforementioned
offences, shall tor every such offence
be punished by a fine of not more
than one thousand dollars or by

Among Democratic Representa-

avorable to Parker, although the
majority Of those approached de-
line to name their personal choice,
many declaring they would be

preference, thirteen declared for
Parker, eight for German, three
or Hearst, three for Gray, one for
Governor Garvin, of Rhode Island.
and one for Senator Bailey, of
Texas. The fourteen Representa-
tives from Missouri and Senator
Stone declared for Senator Cockrell,
and two or three Of the Illinois men
expressed themselves for Repre-
sentative Williams of that State.
Those quoted who declined to ex-
press a preference number twenty
five.

TO DECIDE SALARY LAW
Attorney General viii Say II Present Judges
Are Entitled 10 Increase.

1t is expected that the contro-
versy which has arisen as to wheth-
er the new law increasing the
salaries of Judges, which goes into
effect January Ist, includes Judges
at present in office, will be settled
this week when Auditor General
Hardenbergh will ask Attorney
General Carson for an opinion on
the question. The new law pro-
vides in connection with the in
crease that the salaries shall be
paid monthly instead of quarterly
as heretofore.
High authorities of law contend
that the Judges now in Office are
not entitled to the increase under
the Constitution which says that
the salary of no public officer can
be increased or reduced during the
term for which he was elected. If
this be the opinion of the Attorney
General there will be few to get the
higher salary, as but few Judges
were elected this year. Attorney
General Carson will be asked to
give his opinion as SOON as possible.
The Judges now OH the bench will
be paid quarterly salaries as at pre-
sent, and not every month, but
some of them evidently do not
understand this and are sending in
warrants for the month Of December
alone, under impression that they
are included in the new order of
monthly payments. The Auditor
General will hold that they are not
to be paid monthly under the new
law, but quarterly as heretofore.

The Pennsylvania Railroad company's New
Order.
The order issued by the manage
ment OF the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company requiring all persons IN
its employ to lie vaccinated is a
step i'll the right direction and if
every employer of labor would sus-
tain the health bureaus of the cities
in the matter of vaccination there
would be no further occasion to
fear an outbreak and spread of the
loathesome disease. The men in
particular who are engaged in
handling freight, baggage, and who
meet thousands of people travelling
hither and thither, in addition to
the exposure incident to their en-
ployment, are peculiarly liable 20
infect those susceptible in the
crowds with which they are brought
in contact.

TIE VISIONARY WORLD EOPEFUL.

The Neoo Y0rk Hor2 of Decem-
Der IS, i'll commenting rpon the
editorials of Republican editors
and what they say III relation to
Republican success in 1908, says;
Gen. Grosvenor, to be sure, in
sists that the Republicans can easily
carry the country without New
York. But the Zi76ne more
sagely and most significantly ob-
serves that the Republican Nation
al convention will not choose to
take a gamblers risk and that no
party in its senses is going to make
a nomination for President which
could easily be interpreted as an
announcement in advance that it
expects to lose New York"
Nevertheless" " says the Uorld,
Mr. Roosevelt is as good as NOM
mated already. And he is more
than likely to lose New York
provided, of course, that the Demo
Gratis act sanely." Do we under
stand this great apostle of Demo
cracy to mean, provided, of course
the HorH and its clique will again
bolt the Democratic nomination in
1904 if it cannot lead the democra-
tic hosts into the camp of the
money powers. We shall feel bet
ter satisfied if Roosevelt can be
elected President than that a man
of the WorlFS stripe should be
elected, for this reason: We only
need one more term of high tariff
and the temple of protection will
crunble to atoms. The depression
which will follow in the wake of
the next administration, with its
retinue fsoup houses, and business
slagnation, will down any admins
tration that may happen to be in
power. And for that reason we
would like 10 see the responsibility
saddled where it belongs. Then
we have no positive evidence that
times would ever get any better
through the influence of such lead
ers as the W0rld. The money
power is a world wide conspiracy
to rob labor Of its just Snare of
LABOR profits, and the so called
sound money doctrine. And the
WorIa is always sure to be found
leading in one of these channels.
Those are the wedges that split
apart the common people, that pre-
vent them from reaping the rewards
OF their own labor. The H0yLH
and few other papers of its clique
continually pound the gold wedge,
while the Republican papers ham
mer the protection wedge. We
can see no prospect for better times
if the U0rla'S ideal candidate
should be successful in the coming
campaign, 1t would be better for
the people in the long run to leave
Rooseeelt bury his party to oblivion
than to leave a gold Democrat to
secure its resurrection after a term
OF hard times for which the Repub-
deans are wholly responsible. We
are Of the opinion that the Demo
Gratis have but little cause to en-
thuse over the outlook with bright
prospects of the success OF a gold
Democrat. We are sure that we
enthused over the Cleveland cleo
tion in 1892, and, marched in the
triumphant parade, and hurrahed
with all the rest, and now we can
look back and see what we have for
1t. If Harrison had then been
elected, we would not have had
eight years of Dinghy and McKin-
leyism, We have no desire to see
the same program repeated. Elect
