but it must be borne in mind that no personal

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.

The President does not deserve being be-

ans for hanging Hoke Smith in effigy.
He ought to be hanged in reality.

for Harrison, they would not need to be

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

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.

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.

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,
