or calling that extra session.
But fur the extra session the public
might have thought that tho Demo

that the Republicans themselves had
not already brought to light.
But for that extra session Governor
Puttison would never have made that
little blunder of $289,232.00.
But for the extra session Attorney
General Ilensel would not be charged
by a Democratic paper with dividing
a fee of $20,000 in the tax case of the

ambition would not have been spread
before the voters of the state.
The extra session has cleared a
murky political atmosphere. It was
the turning point in favor of the Re
publicans. It has a sinister Influence
upon the fortunes of Pattison and
Harrlty, an influence which has ex
tended to the Democratic stato candi
dates. Wright Is trylug lu vain to get
oway from his corporations, and Har
rlty's head clerk, Tilden, puts to
blusli all pretouslon of reform by
drawing a salary of $2,600 while he is
going about the state making stump
speeches. The Governor's executive
clerk has also given up his official
duties, but not his pay, while he is
helping to run the Hurrlty and Patti
son reform campaign from Phlladel
delphia. Instead of affording Democratic
campaign thunder at the expense of
the people, the extra session 1ms ex
posed the Democratic game of hum

ALL BUT WADLINGER.
Seven Democratic members of the
Independent Judiciary Commttteo
have addressed a communication to
the editor of the Chronicle stating:
"Moreover we emphatically reassert
what we have repeatedly declared to
all of our friends and to all Inquirers,
that we are Democrats, and favor the
election of the entire Democratic
ticket from top to bottom, except Mr.
Wadllnger; not simply because it is
theDemocratlc ticket, but because we
believe all tho other candidates on the
ticket to be worthy, competent and
honest men, and good and reputable,
consistent and faithful Democrats, and
therefore entitled to our support as
Democrats which support we cor
dially accord to them."

GLEANINGS BY THE LOCAL
CORPS OP REPORTERS.
WHAT THE SCRIBES SEE AND HEAR
la tho Now Water Works Move
ment an Undortaklnff of tho
Pooplo or a Clique? Lot
tho Peoplo Know.
.Recently some people ia town wero very
anxious that tho Herald should declare
itself on tho movement to establish now
water works. Tho HERALD did so, placing
itself on record as in favor of water works
to be owned and controlled by the pooplo.
Tho Hkrald retains that stand and now
asks tho parties who aro engineering tho
affair to let tho public know What thoy are
doing. To say tho least, tho actions of tho
poople who wero appointed to arrange a
plan of procedure aro not tuch as to croato
confidence. A mass meeting of thocitizons
was hold in Bobbins' opera hcuo to discuss
a proposition to establish public water
works, and a committee was appointed by
that meeting to moet a comralttco of
council to formulnto a plan of action. A
Hkrald reporter has attended all tho
meetings of tho Borough Council since
that public meeting was hold and has not
boen ablo to hoar anything on tho water
question. No report has yet been mado to
council regarding tho public mooting, and
no committee has been appointed to moot
and act with the committeo appointed by
tho citizens.
Now, theso aro tho facts.
But, notwithstanding that no report has
boen mado to Council, and notwithstanding
Council his not appointod a committeo to
act in tho matter, two star clamber meet
ings havo beon held in tho Council cham
ber by the citizens'- committeo" and some
councilmen. A Herald reportor has
twice applied for admission to the meetings
in order to give tho public some informa
tion as to the progress of the projoct, but
each tlmo ho has been informed that
tho mcotings were of a secret charac
ter and it was not desired .that tho public
should know what was being dono.
Now, then, if tho proposed now water
works are to bo public property why
should not tho public bo informed as to
what is being done in tho matter? Why
has not a report been mado to Council on
tho public meeting held? Why is tho
borough not represented at tho meetings
by a committee appointed by Council?
Why did tho committeo fail to report tho
rosult of its meeting, or say fomothing
abjut it, at tho last regular meeting of
Council? When and how wero council
men who havo boen attending tho star
chambor sessions appointod a committee by
council, if thoy aro acting as tuch ? Who
are filling tho positions of president and
secretary of tho Joint committoo? In
short, what has become of tho public water
works movement?

trice Collins and "Butler" John Miller
A week ago. Nor is theie a yst the
slightest clue as to their whereabouts.
It Is not that the outraged public is so
extremely anxious to havo either or both
of them back, but thero are nt least n
ferr people who would like to know just
how slickly they got away.
Much adverse criticism has beon heard
ot conducting tho investigation In secret,
and, in view of the many repeated in
stances during tho past ten years where
wrong-doers in Berks County tailed to
get their just deserts, thero are few peoplo
who have any hopes of tho matter ever
being thoroughly Investigated.
Tho refusal of Watchman Rhoads to
appear before the committee is but
nutural, and it is a mooted question
whether any ono can bo compelled to
submit to examination. Of course bis
refusal was by the advice ot his counsel.

her jewelry is still in tho city, and thero

that certain parties nro groatly exer
