What is approved. what condemned and what criticised. © Note:—This column is open to everybody, but it must be borne in mind that no personal quarrels will be allowed to be conducted through it. The objects of this column are for the gener- al good of the town and country at large, but it must be borne in mind that the editor is not re- sponsible for the opinions of contributors. Re member, it is the people's column; the editor shall not write a word for it. Mr. Eprror:—Would it not be wise for our borough fathers to pass an or- dinance prohibiting persons from mak- ing their gates to swing out over the sidewalks? I think it would. Why do not people have their gates to swing in- ward instead of outward? What right has an open gate to monopolize the side- walk? Many such gates open at night and are a constant menace to life and limb. I remember of once going to call a doctor for a sick child, and it being a very dark night, so dark that I could not see the open gates. I had a collision with three of them before I had walked 300 yards. When I reached the doctor's office I was about as much in need of a physician as was my sick child. There would be just as much sense in having doors of buildings to swing outward over the pavement as to have gates that way. The outward-swinging gate is a nuisance, a great nuisance, and so it ought to be declared by our boreugh fathers. JOE JEFFERSON. * Kk Mr. Eprtor:—I do not wish to be classed with chronic kickers, for the fact is that there are few men more easily pleased than I am. Really, I am too easily satisfied, and I believe that is the case with the majority ot the people in this town. If this were not so, we would have many more improvements and less nuisances in Salisbury than we now have. Bat I have a kick to make; it is concern- ing the nuisance of allowing cows to roam at large within the borough limits. In other words, I want to kick at the roamin’ cow. The Jersey cow is a good cow in its place; so is the Alderny cow; but the roamin’ cow is a nuisance, first, last and all the time. These cows that roam at large are to some extent like the traditional bull in the china shop. While they do not break everything in front of them, they certain- ly dirty everything behind them. I am aware of the fact that all the owners of cows in this town would raise a big howl if they were compelled to keep their cows from roaming about the streets, but it strikes ine that other people have some rights as well as thev have, are and it is a disgrace to the town to see the sidewalks full of cow manure. With the exception of driving them to and from pasture, to water, etc., people should be compelled to keep their cows off of the streets and allevs of the borough. But if cows must be allowed to roam at large. the of them ought to be compelled to follow them constantly about town and up after them. ONE WrO Has Trop Ix IT. TOPICS find © COMMENT.

The business of prophesying what Congress will do and when it will do it is safe enough for newspapers, but very danger- ous for politicians. SENATOR HOAR has introduced a meas- ure for a uniform system of bankruptcy. This is well, for when the Democratic party is in power there is urgent need for a bankrupt law.—Philadelphia Press. “UncLE SAM” will have to give “Miss Columbia” some plain talk.

Pity the poor v readers of the ““Congres- sional Record!” Before they get through the silver deluge they are threatened witn a tidal wave of bitter partisan abuse in the House, over the bill for the repeal of the Federal election laws, and after that the Chinese question. Our esteemed contemporary must prepare for a big fall in its circulation. AxDp still they continue to hang Presi- dent Cleveland in effigy. Great as the provocation may be, it is all wrong. The President does not deserve being be- littled in that way, and no good citizen will take a hand in such a game. How- ever, we do not blame the old war veter- ans for hanging Hoke Smith in effigy. He ought to be hanged in reality. INsaNiTY, having about had its day as a successful defense for murder, is now doing duty for thieves. Just as soon as a man supposed to be honest is canght stealing, his friends discover that he is insane; but no matter how many years Le steals without being caught, these indica- tions of insanity never appear. They ap- pear to exist solely for purposes of de- fense. CONSISTENCY is a jewel indeed! Thou- sands of workingmen voted for Grover Cleveland, who was elected on a Free- trade platform, and now thousands of these same men are petitioning Congress not to make any tariff reductions. If these men wanted protection, and why did they not vote for Benja- min Harrison, the Protectionist candidate for President? If they would have voted for Harrison, they would not need to be petitioning to Congress for relief. work wages, IN the past two weeks forty textile works have resumed and eighty have closed, and forty-three iron works have opened and thirty have closed, according to the reports in “Dun’s Review.” In August full 300 cotton mills were idle 600 woolen mills of various kinds, and in July and August eighty- eight iron blast furnaces closed. These simple figures tell their own story of the number of establishments which must open before prosperity really returns.— Philadelphia Press, Sept. 12th. and over Tar address made by Congressman Hicks, at the 54th regiment's reunion, at Somerset, is highly spoken of by all of our citizens that heard it.

Tre new Prussian Minister of Public Worship has announced in a circular that children whose parents have no religious faith need not receive religious instrue- tion in the public schools above the Pri- mary grades, except at the request of their parents. This is a remarkable con- cession to the Radical and Free-thinking element, when we consider that it is made by a government which recognizes the desirability of religious training in the making of citizens and provides for it in the public schools. Either teaching children responsibility to a Supreme be- ing helps to make better citizens of them or else it doesn’t. If it does, itis wisdom for the state to provide such teaching. The free-thinkers must have grown mighty in votes to force such a conces- sion to parental authority as this from a government which more than almost any other counts its citizens not so much as individuals, but as the component atoms of a state.—Pittsburg Times. ON Tuesday alot of Democratic coal operators from Pennsylvania, Maryland. Virginja and West Virginia were before tite Ways and Means committee begging Congress not to make any tariff reduc- tions on coal. In other words, they were protesting against what they had instruct- ed Congress bv their votes. last fall, to do. The spectacle presented by these hypocritical beggars was both amusing anddisgusting. A Pennsylvaniaoperator who was in the room, said: ‘Yes, there they come. After yelling free trade for 364 davs in the year, they get down on their stomachs and crawl before the Ways and Means committee, begging to be pro- tected from the result of their own dod- rotted idiocy.” It is a sublime sight in- deed when Democrats, after talking, vell- ing and voting for free trade, get down on their knees and beg for protection. It shows that they have been advocating doctrine that they do not believe in, the sole sake of being contrary. for Tue World's Fair management have cut off the passes for what they style the country papers. This is another acteristic case of Chicago buncoism. For years these papers have boomed the Fair and seized every opportunity to advertise it favorably. They have overlooked Chi- cago’s many glaring deficiencies or glossed them over when mentioned. They have in fact borne a large part in making the Fair as successful as it has been. Now that the attendance, largely through their efforts, has at last reached a point where it is satisfactory, the man- agement, with true Chicago spirit, turns its best friends, whom it thinks can be of no more benefit to it. The order withdrawing the passes will not injure larger sheets, which can afford to keep their own correspondents all the time on the ground, and to which the extra cost of admission will be but a trifle. But it will fall heavily on many small rural sheets whose editors and pro- prietors have deserved better treatment at the hands of the Chicago people, who will sooner or latter find that their mean- ness in this respect will come home to roost.—Pittsburg Times. char- its back on these, the Hanged Grover in Effigy. SACRAMENTO, CAL, Sept. 17.—Aneffigy of President Cleveland was found hang- ing to a tree, yesterday, by one of the State Capitol watchmen. On the breast was pinned a Latin inscription, of which the following is a translation: ‘‘Greet- ing to my pig-tailed friend from the Ori- ent. Iam that American Grover thou didst subhorn. See how blessed is whom the fate of traitors.” On the placard were other inscriptions as follows: _ “Public office is a public trust, but should not be a Wall Street Trusty” “Dictator Grover I, successor to Charles I. Where is Cromwell?” “Must we doff our hats to imperialism?” “Nero fiddled while Rome burned, but Grover would dance at the funeral of American liberty;” “God give us men. Free- dom weeps and wrong rules the land, and while waiting justice sleeps.”
