Editor Herald: Thoro Is an ol -adage that "an open confession it Rood for tho soul." I wns reminded ot It this even ing when I read your very complete report ol the Ounctl meeting Thursday night. I'ne free and open dtsclisslon of tho wator onUrprise at tho meeting was, indeed, good to my mind, if not to my soul. It oponec my o 01. I am a chlzim and taxpayer ol iho but' Ush and have been wondering for months p let If wo would ovor havo water workB owned by the borough. Occasion ally I heard something about the joint coniinitt o that was appointed at tho mate mnellng in HubbinV opera house,, but I coul'j hear nothing of what it w doing until 1 road y- ur paper this ovoniijg. Now, Mr. Editor, I wu convincod that tbo borough will novor own water works un der tho present in ivcmont. I will gtvi vou niv reasons lor believing this. I do not think tho j int committeo Is acting Mr wi h the people of this town and I honestly believe that li ttioy askoJ the p 'oiilu to-morrow to back thir actions up to date by an elec ion not one-third of tho citizens wtiu'd stand by them. I challenge tho riiiht of any member or members ol that commitioo to force water worki upon this borough. If that committee Is so con U lent that thoy huve tho peoplo boblnd U why has it not got faith enough to flret so cure Oatimates on what the water works are to cost and then lot the poop e, by special election, authorize an increase of debt to tho amount riquirod. I toll you, Mr. EJi.or. tbitt that committeo daro not do that. It wants to sink $o6,L00 In the val ley first, and then turn to tho poople and my, "Now sink or swim. You havo $15, 000 in this ihlng and you must complete this plant or lose what you bavo put in it. In other worde, Mr. Editor, thi. joint com mittee wants to get tho pooplo in such a position that thoy can put tho screws on tnem a d fay, ''"We've got your money, you tako your choice." I hea a Kreat deal said about tho re spectability and integrity of Mr. Lam1 , Mr James and other?, Mr. Editor, and I do not wish tj question it bore; but let m tay thut T. bavo g.od reason to believe that at least throe of tho councilmon on that joint committeo are actuated in this water question by self in.ortst as much, if not moro, as by a desiro to benefit tho people. The throe councilmon I refer to are Messrc. Lamb, Qablo and "Wurm. They may rant and tear as much as thoy .pleace, but I will thuwjuu whoie their self interest comes in. Thoy have but a few weeks more to serve as councilmon and they know that it tliuv are not ro-ulecttd they will bo like Hismarck on tho shelf. Now, what shall we do to bo saved ? "Wo will stir up somt -thing that will bo likely to develop into a popular boom. "We will take the boom by tho lorelock and we will let the people know we aro their friends and thou we will bo re-elected to council. So these three jolly councilman start the boom. They burn tho water company in efflgy and tay to the peoplo, "Stand by us and vo will gi o you water works of your own." Tbo peoplo (ibis csmmitiee claims) havo stood by them until to-day. Hut whero aro the waterworks? 3lr. James says wo will get ,hm Tn rnmmittnn will take tho 45.000 d , d al oection iquot.ZB . . , ' -1 . &m 10 ? w-m " ln th enaP ol an creasid bonded indebtedness, spent tbo &i3,U&U wo will then have in hand and then what I "The people will, havo to I have admired Mr. James as a council man, but as a financier and promoter ot pub. 10 water works I think ho is a failure. Ilia County CommUeioners want high aesossuvnta in tuis borough, our population of tax dodgiiix l'oloj and Huns is on the inurea-e, a ttouo crusher representing ?2,00j or moro lios idle on the mountain, a lire alarm sstom will soon swallow about 0U0 mote, wo aro not able to pay our doou now, and yet Mr. James calmly says, 'Vpve us ?65,0U0 lor the water works," and tho climax, will bo "The peoplo will havo to fiiii-ti il." Mr Juiues is right. Tbo pooplo will have to finish it. 1 aUo notice by your loport that Mr. "Wurm stated tbal the kickers aro tho tuen who don't own a shingle. N w, Mr. Editor, I would hko to know how Mes rs. Lamb, James, Wurm and Bolter ido aro ralod. Add to tbo list Messrs. Gable, O.akley, Van Ouson and Moakler. Are they the moneyed people of tbo town? But, then, admit it is the peo ple who don't own a shingle in the town, who are tbo kickert? "Who form the majority of tho pooplo in tho town? Are thoy the landlord, tbo butchers,' tbe mine bosses, tbo saloonkeepers, tbo shoe dealers, or other businoss mon? O' are they the poor devils whose horny hand keep tho colliorios going for bloated bondholders and pay what little thoy have left over for tbo mtserablo hovels thoy Inhabit and which covered by the mimomer-home? Another thing, Mr. Editor, why is it that tbe citizens on that joint committee don't mtUi come statement to the poople, or council ? No. They are mum. All tbo pouting and glorifying is left in tbe hands of tbe throe candidates for lo-electlon to council. I have' one or two questions to ask tbe Joint committeo. What power do they claim under that part of the resolution adopted by council that says, "that said commi t io has the powor to make all coc- ossary arrangements for tho issuing of bonds to raise the money that will be ro' quired for payment of material, etc., (or tho construction of tbe borough water works?" What does etc, mean? "What will tbe material cost? How much moro will tbe etc. cost? How many thousand dollars of bonds will bo issued? If Messrs, Lamb, Qablo and "Wurm are not re-elected to council tblt tnring will they still be members of the joint committee as members from councd? How toon will the time arrive when tbe people will havo $J ,u"tn ol lbu balance will be requited to complete tho work? When will tbo poople know Just what the joint com mitteo is doing? Kiukkr. Shooandoah, Fa Jan 8, 1892. THE NEW RULES. Speaker Crisp to Mnk Several Changes In the Code. Washinoiom, Jan. 8. Speakor Crlap Is recovering, though it Is not thought It would be snfo for him to go out for some time yet, lest be should tnke cold, being in a weak physical condition. Ho will probably be able to begin the con sideration of the new rules within a few days. The other Democrats of the Committee on Itules will confer with him at his ho tel as soon as It is thought desirable for him to begin work. In this way the ma jority report will probably bo got ready, so that there will be no delay in its pre sentation to tbo House nfter tbo Speaker resumes his duties at tho Capitol. Theie Is really not a great amount of work to bo done on tho rules. The code of the Fiftieth Congress will form tho basts, nnd but few changes will be nec essary to make the rule3 conform to the Ideas of the Speaker and the leaders of tho majority of this House. Tho code will not contain any arbitrary features, but some of the laxity of the aid Carlisle rules will be corrected. It Is probable that the right lo legis late on annrourlatlon and to reduce ex penditures will bo restored. THE BOILERS EXPLODED. Terrible Arcldont ln Chicago Three Dead, Two Dying. Chicaoo, Jan. 9. By tho terrific ex plosion in the boiler room of the Warren Springer Company's building on South Cannl street. Three men are known to havo been killed outright and three others so badly Injured that their recovery Is doubtful. Tho names of the dead are: Edward Bush, white laborer, Patrick Rogers, white fireman, Arthur Hall, col ored fireman. The injured nre: James Sigglns, fire' man. terribly scalded: Henry Oswald laborer, internally Injured, cannot live; John Lee, colored llreman, frightfully bruised, cannot live. The cause of the explosion Is as yet unknown. The engineer says ho left the engine room but a few moments before tho exnlosion occurred, and that the boilers were all right. All the injured are at the hospital, where it was stated this morning that two of the Injured men will undoubtedly ll Sentences of lSruto Convicts Iteiultted Calcutta, Jan. 0. Tho sentences of the female convicts who on November rescued a number of male convicts who were fwept Into tho surf clinging to an overturned wooden building, have been remitted or greatly lightened. The women referred to, it will bo remembered. at the time of the cyclone which swept over the Andaman Islands, lormed a life line by joining hands, ventured into the surf and rescued the men from drowning. The sentence of the leader of these brave female convicts has been entirely re mitted, and she has received a sum of money from the government sufficient to enable her to start life in another clime should she elect to do so.
