LET US HAVE PEACE.
The injunction suit between the
Shenandoah Water and Gas Company
and the Electric Hallway Company
has. been amicably adjusted and all
interested seem perfectly satisfied.
Suppose the Water Company and
the Joint Committee on public water
works, or the Borough Council, or all,
now try a hand at amicable settlements.
The factors of both parties are citizens
of the borough and, as suoh, they
should aim to dwell in harmony and
strive to make the leading town in the
county a prosperous one.
Let the cool heads of the contending
factions' come together and look over
, I Js true that the people were in
censed by the action of the Water
Company In suing for the money
claimed to be due on back fire plug
supply and that, at the time, there
was a strong public sentiment in favor
oi the establishment of public water
works
It is none the less true that careless
nes'a In, the transaction of business of
the Borough Council enabled the
Water Company to recover judgment
in that suit. The minutes of tbo Bor
ough-Council in connection with the
matter were defective and, through
shortsightedness of the councllmen of
' the time, a verbal agreement was a&
cepted, Instead of requiring one in
writing.
The action of the Water Company,
in going back on the verbal agreement,
in nnianannnhlonii1 imtliafmnrnll xt
but;iu law ihe claim was held a . good
one. -The company claimed what It
was entitled to under the law by reason
of Jhe neglect and Ignorance of the
men elected by the people to protect
their Interests,
These are undeniable facts.
Now, then, let the new water works
movement be pushed forward cautious
ly. Let us be sure we are right and
that we have the people with us.
'Tls true that at tho public meeting
held some time ago there was a cry
for public water works. Butlet us ask
ourselves if the four or five hundred
people at that meetlpg formed the ma

jority of the taxpayers of the town.
No sane man can make such a claim.
The only way in which the majority
of the taxpayers of a town or city cau
voice its sentiment is by an election.
By ballot, and not by word of .Kititti.
Considering this, what should be the
'first step toward establishing the pub
lic water works? The accumulation
of facta and figures leading to a reliable
estimate of the cost of such works and
a special election, to give the majority
of the taxpayers an opportunity to say
whether or not they want public water
works and are willing to expend the
amount that may be decided upon for
them.
This is reasonable, just, and the only
'lawful procedure.
But what Is the plan proposed? To
go ahead under the $45,000 increase of
debt and an additional $10,000 the
borough Is at liberty to extract in ac
cordance with the right to a bonded
indebtedness equal to 2 per cent. With
this (55,000 the plant is to be started
and after it is spent the people will be
asked to hold a special election to pro
vide for the completion of the 'plant,
Why not have the special election
now ? Why sink $55,000 In the works
under the color of authority (it isnoth
ing mure; by reason of the ten-year old
grant, and subject the people to a
thpusand possibilities of bankruptcy I
A special election would dispose of all
questions as to authority to proceed
under the election of ten years ago
and make the authority clear.
The members of tho Joint Committee
say they are acting under legal advice
and are advised they have the author
ity to act under the old special elec
tion. The old water company ofllclals
are equally positive In their declar
ations that, authority under that elec
tion has lapsed. Tbo court may de
clde in the case being argued one
way or the other, but the Supreme
Court holds out hops to which side
may bo defeated and then the pyramid
of legal fees will take shape, and where
Is the $10,000, or $15,000 fund ?
It Is not necessary to have the Court
pass upon the question at all. A
special election would settle the whole
blatter. -
But, better still, let the new water
company enthusiasts consent to a con
ference for an amicable settlement in
writing.
That word writing was the rotten
apple In the barrel, we all must admit.

WHAT THE SGRIBES SEE AND HEAR
Rov. Powlok Proaohod a Revival
Sermon in tho Methodist Epis
copal Church Sunday Eve
nlnff. "The Lake of Fire."
The sermon in the Methodist Episcopal
church on Sunday evening was on tho old
fashioned subject of everlasting fire. Rev.
20-15 : "And' whosoever wa3 not found
written in tho book of life was cast into tho
lake of fire." Holy Writ spoaks concern
ing our future with considerable reserve,
lis sallentfeatures are cxhibitod with cleart
ncsa but there is much scope left for human
imagination and speculation. Tho facts of
a judgment to como and everlasting blits
for the goad and evorlasting punishment
for tho bad are plainly revealed. The book
of Revelation is an attempt by St. John to
describo what he saw through the open door
of heaven. (Rev1. 4 1.) Among the many
things he saw which have exercised the
minds of men and furnished material for
not a little idle speculation was a great
wlijto throne of judgment before which the
dejad both email and great stood to be
judged according to their works. The
cloBjng scenes of the judgment witnessed
the .casting ,into tho lako. pf, fire, of all
.whose names were not found written,fn the
Book of Life, The question has been raised,
"Is this fire literal or figurative?.." The
Bible does not explain, consequently, ho
could not answer the question without re
flecting upon (he questioner. It ought to be
understood that ft fool can ask a thousand
questions that all the philosbphors in the
world cannot answer. If figuralivo, the
reality must exceed the figure by which It
is' sol forth. We shall know more about
this' hereafter. Another question is "oin
you reconcile it with God's goodness?'1
We are under no obligations to do so. Its
truth does not depend upon our ability to
do so. "Vo are not called to defend or
apologize for the truth but to preach it in
all its native ruggodness. But where do
you got y pur notions of God's goodness?
Not from nature., "Tho Leavens declare
the, glory of God and the, firmament
Bhoweth his handiwork" but not his char
acttr. X can see the skill of the artist in
the frescoes around us, and of the architect
in the proportions of the building, but
must get a knowledge of their character
elsewhero. So the universe reveals God's
skill but not his character. Law, inex
orable law, reigns In 'nature and nothing in
it speaks to us of gopdnots. Only the book
of God reveals God's character. And the
sort of goodness it attributes to God is such
as is consistent with the everlasting punisu
meat of the wicked. If human reason is
to sit in judgment upon revelation and ac
copt what pleases it and reject what dis
pleases it, it may turn out, if part is true
and part false, that what we accept is false
and what wo -reft ct is true, JUoiven and
hell rest upon the same authority and it
faith is undermined in hell faith in heaven
goos along with it. Anolhor question men
ask isj "Ij there any way out of it?" We
know of none Some men think thore
ought to be and the with that there may be
become father to the thought that there
wi'l bo, ' But the word of God affords no
hope. Nobody pretends that "post mortem
probation" has any other foundation than
human reason. But suppose there should
prove to be a way out why should anybody
prefer such a round about underground
route to heaven when a direct one is avail
able to ail. Finally it is significant that
the reason men are consigned to the lake of
fire is pot because of what they do b it tp
cause 'of what they neglect to do. "Inas
much as ye did it ftot" to the Word runs
"depart ye cursed," How shall we escapo
U we neglect so great salvation," " Vho-
soqvor was not found written in the Book of
Life was cast into the lako of fire."

room only" sign bad to be.hung out. Such
was tbe welcome Omaha gave to George O.
Staley and his thrilling play, "A Royal
Pass." All tho Interest of coursa centered
around Mr. Staley, who is one of the
cleverest of tho German dialect comedians
now on the stage. His work showed the
rosult of hard study and a close attention
to details. The support was good and the
audience lavished their applause upon
Louise, the little child of the star. In his
scenes and songs with his baby Mr. Staley
is very reminiscent of Fritz Emmet,
While tbe whole play was interesting the
great attraction was tbe locomotive race in
tho tbhd act. The two engines looked for
all the world like veritable "steeds of
steam" and whirled acros? the stage at a
surprisingly high rate of speed. When
tbe curtain went down on tho sceno it
seemed as if the applause would never
cease. "A Royal rasa" tells a story of

YE SLEIGH BELLS RING.
Good Sleighing in Town but Bad
Outside.
Tbe jingle of tho sleigh bells could b(
heard all over own Saturday evening and
yesterday. Tho liverymen were wel
taxod, in fact tho demand was greater thai,
the tuppty. Many were tbe cooing couplet,
Up and down the streets they dashed be
hind prancing steeds and it was evident to
the spectators that the sleighing was "just
perfectly lovely,"
JUST EOOH FOR TWO.
Straw ride parties wore numerous, but
cutters out-nUmbered them by fifty to one,
Some of the "turn outs" were natty and
tho roadsters were, in many instances, of a
speedy cba'acter.
BLEIOHINQ IS GOOD.
There were numerous spurts on Main
strpot yesterday and tho local trotting hor6e
breeders enjoyed and displayed themselves
the width and length of the streets. There
wero some spirited brushes occasionally
and some good old ladies on their way to
tho houses of worship wero prompted to
exclaim, "Mercv me I" Tho echo was
"Let go yor nag and I'll pull der harness
off'n him."
The suburban sleighing parties afford' d
fun enough for a comic opera, or an ex
travaganza. Merrily some partiei drove
eas,t"ard towards Mahanoy City, but
dejectedly did thoy retur.i with a ton, or
more, of mud clinging to their cutters.
HOT BO GOOD.
The exjitement at Mahanny City has
