coming btate convention. While the
Interior counties are always found in
line and tl cir majorities looked for
to swell tho general aggregate, they
should out of all fairness be given
recognition, and that recognition
should be accorded this year since
there Is bucu an abundance of avail
able timber from which to make a
choice.
There is entirely too much fighting
In tho Republican ranks to ftlve the
party any hope for victory this year.
TheNewYork Republicans realize tills
and are' trying to get together again,
but a new fight Is in progress in
Pennsylvania to retire Senator Quay.
Tho least that can be said Is that Con
gresbimu Dalzell and his friends are
giving the Democrats every encourage
ment for success in the next Presi
dential campaign. The latter nro
taking Ex-Senator Wallace's advice to
drop all factional fights and go in to
win. Senator Wallace is shrewd. He
knows that if Dalzell aud his friends
can I e urged on in their hammering
of Quay and all Democratic factions
can be united, nothing under the
broad canopy of heaven can save the
Republican party from a trip up salt
river In '02. Now let tho Republicans
make a serious effort to get together.
Lat them discuss and settle the Issues
in caucus aud resolve to abide the
results there. The continual washing
of dirty linen disgusts people some
time and the men who can agree to
fight and can accept defeat gracefully
are the men who stand tho best chance
with tho people. Get together, fight
it out in caucus, and may the best
man win.
The scheme of Senator Hill to have
the New York Legislature elect
Presidential Electors will no doubt be
carried out, since his party have clear
majority in both branches in that
bodyto carry out Ills wishes. This is
just wtiat was to be expected of a party
that bellevps in seizing every oppor
tunity to make their success this year
assured. Had the Republicans of
that state burled their jealousies and
come out and voted this would not
have happened. The Republicans
must now carry every atato north of
the Mason and Dixon line, arid AVest,
Virginia, to win In the next 'Preal
deutial election, New York being
assuredly Democratic.

DEBATE ON WATER
A Resolution Introduced

Borough Water Works.
ARGUMENTS ON COST OF NEW PLANT.
A Full Report of All That Was
Councilmen, with a Copy the of Resolutions and the
Speeches Made Upon them Verbatim'.
Other Borough Business.
All but two of the morabors worepresont
at tbo meeting of thp Borough Council last
night.. Tho wore : Messrs. Gablo, Junius,
Scboily, Holman, Botteridgo, Devers,
Amour, Lamb, Wurm, Ooakloy, Portz,
Moaklor and Van Dusen.
Tho water quoktlon absorbed most of the
session and very little time was givon to
other business.
"When Chairman Gabto callod out
""Water Committee," Mr. Lamb responded.
Mr. Lamb said: "Sir. President, on the
question of water, tho committee is pro
ceeding as rapidly as It is possible, under
tho difficulties wo have to contend with.
It is almoit Impossible to cither make the
people ot town, or this council, understand
the difficulties wo have to put up with. No
matter what steps we taka impediments are
thrown In our road. Tho poople of this
town want water, and it will bo a danger
ous experiment for this council to say
otherwise. The people interested in this
water company somo of thorn have
made remarks that are not pleasant for
this committee, or this council to hoar. I
havo refrained from using ono word
detrimental to them individually. I wai
hoping that somebody would bo present this
ovoningthat I might have a chance to
defend myself, but I do not wish to sponk
behind any man's back, I was told only
this evonlng by n member of council, whu
is not ono of tho committoo, of certain
transactions misrepresenting me altogether,
and yot, instend of making mo the inno
cent, I havo been made the rogue. But I
will say nothing, If It Is noce?fnry, at
any timo,.to defend myself, or members of
this committee, I am ready to do it by
affidavit. "Wo havo, at tho present tim5,
surveyors gding over tbo lino pipe line
making surveys and mapping out the town,
etc. I havo also got a sot of nuotulions
hero, signed by T. J. James, A. D. Gable,
Daniel Gmkloy, Oscar Betteridgo, A. B.
Lamb, M. G. "Wurm, T. II. Van Dusou
and Thomas Moakler. I would ask the
ftcrotury to read them. I have ask d
ovory member of rouneil present to sign
them. It is time that every councilman be
put on his metal. It he it right, bis name
should bo there. If ho is not right why,
it is not there.
Mr. Lamb then banded tho resolution
to Bocrotary Warren J. Toil z They rend
us follows :
"Whekkas, It is rumored that corrup'
influence Is being brought to liear on mem
bers of the IJ rough Council, with the view
ot having 0 nuicil take action advuran to
what has already been done by mid h
ougb Gounod in the matter of u borough
water plant. And
"WiiKRiiAS, The oommiltee created In
said Borough Council, known as the
"Water Committee," has, in connection
with the citizens' committee, oxpended
oonsiderqblo money in tbo preliminary
work of securing an ample supply of pure
water for dtunestio and other purposes,
said expenditures being the result ot tbo
aeMnl the Borough Oounod; and
"WliuaiSAS, Any aoilon, at this time, an
Ugoi.istic to the ork of said Joint water
oommittco will moan a loss to the borough,
not only of money oxpendod, but ol
iho possession of tho stream of water tboy
now bave, which, no doubt, will be
poMMed by the Shenandoah Water Com
pany In os0 wo will have to relinquish the
ciiuo. Thero'ore bo it
llcsolvcd, lly the Bjrough Council of
Shenandoah, l'a , that we fully endorse ad
that has boon done by the joint committee,
known as tho ""Water Committeo," and
having implicit confidence In tbeir ability
and integrity, wo empower them tc do all
lawful aetB in completing the vork of
building n borough water plan'.
Resolved, That it is tho sense of this
Borough Council that said committee has
tli 0 power to make all tioceiury arrange
ments for tbo issuing of bonds to raise the
money tht will bo requlrod for payment
of material, etc., far the construction of
the borough water works.

Immediately after the reading of tbo
resolutions Mr. Ooakloy said, "I, for ono,
am very glad to got the clinn .e to defend
myself agalast tho rumors that we aro all
bought up,"
Mr. Scholfly said, "I could not sign that
paper unless I knew what amount of bonds
this borough wants to issue. It ought to
stated what these works are going to
.cost, uounoll, as won aa the citizens,
in Council Creates An
Done Last Evening by the
ought to know If it is going to cost 550,000,
or 9100,000. Let thorn say so."
Mr, Dovers: "That is my fooling. I got
no information from this committee what
they were goine to do, or anyth ng else. 1
would like to havo tho water, but I would
like to havo Information of what is going
on."
Mr, Amour: "lam iu tho same boat,
Mr Lamb Bald he was going to gijo me
information ; but he aiked mo to sign that
paper ; but I would like to know what is
going to bo the probablo cost of pipes,
dams and pumping station. I am in favor
of tbo borough owing the water works, but
I want to know tho cost"
Mr. ilotman : "I agreo with tho petition
until it comes to issuing tbo bonds, "We
had an election by which $45,000 was
allowed for water works. If wo could do
it for that I would siga all papers brought
hero, but until I know that I will sign no
papers. The first part ol the petition is all
right.
Mr. Limb: "Mr. President, I don't
mean to make charges against anybody,
but I tell you the air is full of rumors and
if you people do what is said something is
crooked. It is only a few weeks ago since
llieso men voted in favor of running our
own water works. Tho conditions are not
changed, Thoy voted in favor of the com
mlttee appointed for that purpose. They
told us to go ahead. Thoy know then that
we had f4'i000 already. They know that
I have reported that wo havo beon work
ing and acting under legal advice and that
wo aro not going to get this council In a
holo. Tbey know we are not anxious to
gel in ono our ourselves. The question
that puzzles mo is why have they changed
from a lew weeks ago. Tho people of
this town want wator. Wo woro instructed
by the public meeting to do it. This com
mittee was appqintod to do it and we havo
rep Tted everything we tnow of, I told
these men at tho last meeting that If they
wanted any information at any time they
oould havo it by asking tho committeo and
that was pubdehed in tho Herald. They
nave neter oome to mo to ask anything
ati.mtit. Tbey aro not Inquiring about
lwt this committee is doing they aro in
quiring aboutsoruething else."
vi r Betteridgo; "Something struck me,
n d that ii this: that when Mr. Holman
said he would sign that petition, providing
wh could get a watur plaDt for 515 000
Now, why n it that tho Shenandoah "Water
' 'ompany asks $125,0,0 for its plant? "Why,
we would be able to wort; miracles if wo
could get a new plant for $-15,000. If I
was not on that committee and didn't
know anything about it I w uld bo vory
well ffif-fled If that committeo could put
in a new plant for $123,000, when tho water
oompaoy asks that price for its old plant."
Mr. Holmun : "Tho peoplo say we shall
spend $45,000. Wo didn't apk tho peoplo
whether wo should spend $125,000 for water,
If wo could run water in for $45,000 I
would be ono of tho first to sign that
paper "
M r. James: "This oommitteo does not pro
pose to spend $125,000 without asking tho
poople for permission to spend the difference
between $46,000 and $126,000. They have
said, and did say ten years ago, that tho bor
ough debt oould bo increased $45,000. Wo
bavo been advised by good legal talent that
that stands good and wo havo a right to go
ahead and expend that money for that
same purpoko. Wo also havo a right to
have a bonded indebtedness in this borough
equal to 2 por cent, of the assessed valua
tion. Wo can get from $3,000 to $10,000
added to tbo $15,000, so that wo have
$55,000 to start this plant with. After wn
have oxpended ,$55,000, wo proposo to ask
tho peoplo, and the people are ready and
willing to grant tho request, for whatover
is neodod and wo know just what this plant
is going to post us. There is not ono of tbo
gontleinen opposed to this thing who are
not &waro that this committee proposos
eponding all tho money tho law allqws us,
and no more."
Mr. Holman : "And havo tho plant ly
ing there partly finished 1"
Mr. James: "Tho people will bavo to
finish it."
Mr. Wurm s "Tho poople say go ahoad.
The people aro crying for water the whole
lime."

Wedno'day's fall of n w was not 1

A "COKSTlTUTIONALi."
Of ceurso tho hoys could not content
themselves with drawing their sisters and

tho coasting placo3 wore woll patronized.
Coasting pushes baso ball hard fur second

they care for that, It's coasting they like,
coasting thoy want and coasting they'll

dangorous sport and ho will lose no time in
telling you that sleighs were made for it.
BOBBY AND HIS "BOB."
But boys and girls are not always tho
best judges of what they shall or shall not
do.
A kind hearted old gentleman stoppoi a
ruddy-faced little boy yesterday and said,
"Sonny, don't you know you aro liable to
be seriously hurt or. perhaps killed, by
coasting down this hill?"
"Is dat so? Well, don'tcher know I've

"Look 'ere," oxclaimod the urchin with
somo spirit, "if yor jalous, get on I'll give

Ot courso the old gentleman walked off
disgusted, whilo tho breaker lad bounced

Editoh Uebald : Tula week O ngreF8
convened agnln. I am of the opinion that
If somo of our Congressmen had never
been born It would havo beon a blesdng to
the country and especially to their eon-
diluents. Their wholo object soems to bo
to destroy American industries. Preo
ami I Freo iron 1 1 Free tin 1 1 1 Oui, of
four hundred biils introduced only one was
in favor of ihe workingman. The rhap-
laln should havo invoked Divine guidanto
on the minds of tho European royalty o
that tbey might send oaoh of the freo
traders a pass to the countries that reap the
benefit of freo trade. To pass the bills I
rofor to would be tho greatest iniustico to
tho sons of toil. The intelligent render
will agree with me that in our own 8tat,
for the lest quarter of the century, thero
has been scarcely any legislation in favor
of the workingman. If, perchance, a bill
ib presented in his favor, by the time ho
se:s it in print, it is lull ' of loopholes, so
that it is like a sieve, and, invariably,
thero is no penally fixed for n violation of
the act. To-day thero are thousands of
workingmen in the coal fields of this com
monwealth who bavo never bon paid af-
cording to the tomi-monthly pay law.
Ihis is especially Iruo with regard to Lacl
awanna and Luzerne counties. Way tho
employers aro allowod to defy the laws I
am at a Iosb to understand. The work of
tho sieve is plain in this case. Another
evil tho workiiigman has just cau-e to
complain of is the accursed compny 6tori
ystem. Tho owners of those stores aro
making colossal fortunes from tho sweat of
tbo toilors. In this concern tho working
man is fleeced unmercifully and if the poor
wretch has the moral courage to protest
against tho exorbitant prices, by a slow,
but sure process, ho will be informed that
his services aro no longer required. The
sieve is apparent again, A certain orator
once said "labor Is holy." Had he lived
in tho presont day it would bo an easy
matter to convince him that to labor in a
mine under existing ovils Is equal to slavery.
It is truo there aro somo companies that
ntideavor to treat their employes with re
spect. In my noxt I shall spoak of them.
