It is said some of tbe Couucilmen regret they were elected. The spiunl column of tbe joint water committee is out of Joint. "De Ate " should have their organ ization chartered. Quay has all the votea he needs. He can now saw wood and say nothing. Bad counsel among "do ate" hus coat our taxpayers much money. Our thanks are due Hon. J. D Cameron, of the U. 8. Senate, for valuable publio documents. ' The Couucilmen who,, .claimed to know everything have probably con eluded that they know very little. The clergyman who delivered the opening prayer in the Ohio House of Representatives the other day ought to bo engaged by local reformers to repeat to Council this closing passage from his appeal : "Lord deliver ua from bribes, bribers and bribe-takers In our midst, and keep them from the ways of temptation, which surround them on every hand, and may their acts be righteous and not corrupt." Now that the court has declared the joint water committee powerless and, consequently, all their acts have been and are illegal, the question arises, who will pay back luto the borough treas ury the money spent to advance its plans? The ten-year-old standby is played out and the taxpayers cannot afford to throw away $ 2,000 or $3,000 to satisfy the whims of a few peoplo who will not listen to reason. Defeat, great or small, seems to have no effect on tho organ wearing the Pittsburg collar. County after county has returned a verdict over whelmingly adverse to the corporation lawyer's interests, yet, If we believe the Press, every defeat was "just what Mr. Dalzell expected," or, "Mr. Dal- zell Is not at all alarmed, for no other result could be expected from that stronghold of Quaylsm."

Editor Bkhalo : Like most of the other citizens ot tbo borough, I havo walchrd with some interest, during the past week, tho progress of tho controversy be- 1 wcon the Borough Council and tho Elec trio Hallway Company, and in doing so I have obsorved a few tilings to which I de sire to call your attention and tho attention Hf the public. The communication published in Mon day's Usuo of tho IIekald, over the sig nature of Borough Solicitor Pomeroy, is, I presume, nuthoritive, and constitutes tho defense of the majority of Council, for their action in throwing obstructions in tbe way of tho building of the road. Mr. Pomeroy complains that you have not been fair in your treatment of the action of Council in tho promises. I will not discuss that statement, but leave It to you and him to settle 1IU dofence of O mncil's iction, and tho gist of his communication, outside the wail of distress that he sends up on ac count of alleged unfair treatment, is that their course is justitirtd on the ground that the Railway Cmpany did not intend to pave tho track, according to agreement. Let mo ask Mr. I'omeroy and tho mem bers ot Council for whom he speaks, how and whon they made this interesting dis covery? The sniffer is contained In the same sentence in which the charge it made, Tbo discovery, if such it bo, is an inference. gathered from a conversation alleged to havo taken place between Judge Sadler and certain members of Cuncil, after the latter had decided to get out an injunction, if mcesviry, to stop work on the road. Aside from tho workdono on tho extreme wost end of Coal street, early last winter, there was no work done on tbo road within the borough limits until Monday of last week, and by Wednesday evening, within three days from tho timo work had com menced, tho eight members of Council who subsequently directed the Solicitor to tako steps to stop the work, wore running wildly around the town declaring that the tbing had to be stopped. Now, I ask Mr. Pomu roy and if he answers at ail I know ho will answer truthfully did Council know then what the intention of tho Railway Company was regarding tbe question of paving7 Did Mr. Pomeroy or Oiuncil ex pect, whon tho privilege of laying thi the tracks in tho streets was granted, that tho construction and piving of the road were to be done simultaneously? And if they did not, how in tho name of common sense can be justify the action of Council in stopping the work of construction within three days after it was commenced? Every intelligent citizen will understand, and does understand, that no matter what the intontion of the Railway Company may have been, that to pave the track is imprac ticable until it is lined up, ballasted and settled, But, isn't there something else btok of this m,voment? Ordinarily I should consider it only an extraordinary coincidence that the eight members of Council who have halted tbo progress of railway construction are the identical eight who havo banded them selves together for tho purposo of erecting a publio wator works, at a cost of ?10J,000, or a tnfl j like that, und who now consti tute the committee of Council on now water works. But when I see tbe same citizen spirit? who have been mot active in promoting the water works proj ct, tike leading parts in this comedy of blunders, and again telling the p:oplo what the) want, I am forced to the conclusion that there is a sinister motive at tho bottom of the movement. Of course this Councllmanic combina tion and its citiztn allies proclaim that they aro acting in tbo interests of tbo people the dear peoplo, who don't know what tboy watit, and need j jst such guardians as tbey elect members of Council. But did you ever know or hear of a usurper or dem agogue who despised the people and disro gardod their rights, who did not proclaim impudently that his purpose was to advance their interests? It is under tbe cover of protecting the people and advancing their interests that the greedy and avaricious havo alway consummated their own solflth schemes and robbed tbo masses ol their rights and p ivilegs. It war ever thus, and it will probably always continue to bo so. Tho gentlemen who have boen active as private citizens in the movement to harass the Railway Ojmpany and rotard tbe progress of the road, aro so well known to tho publio, that I need not go to the extent of mentioning their names here. We all know who they are. Is thero a man among them who has ever thought of pro jecting any scheme purely tor the benefit of tho public, or who would giro a sorlous tbouuht to anything tlmt di 1 not promise lo yield him a persinal profit? Is there a man among tho lot who is not distinguished fur greed, selfhhness and either arrogance or stupidity? Isthorea man among thorn who would contribute a dol'ar to tha most deserving charity without tho sssuranco that it would bo advertised In suoh a way as to yield him two dollars in return ? And these are the men who, to wreak tbair personal vengaanoes.upon tbe stockholder! of the Water O mpany, hive d-oidod tbat tbo taxpayers muit put up $100,000 or more for U water works, and who, becauso of tholr on disappointed ambition, havi stopped in to hamper tho building of the railway I Thoir motive in inspiring tho action ol Council which rosultod in stopping woik on the railway is clearly one of royenue. They cannot pr fit by It, but tbey can annoy tho Railway C impany aud sut ject the public to inconvenionco. and that answers tho same purpose, or nearly so It is alleged also that at least one member of C uncil, who votod to stop the building of the road, is disappointed becauso ot the failure of ono Mr. Eberle to cause a block of Electric Railway stock to matorializo at a certain time and placo. I d not vouch for tho truth of this rumor, but the fact that tho mombor in quelion was an ardent supporter nf every privilege sought by tho Hallway Cimi any whon Mr. Eberle was in ubtrgo, coupled with the fact that ho is now opposed to granting the road any privileges whatever, glve credence to it. Tho motive of this combination of Coun cil and conspiracy of citizen schemers in xttemptfng to foist up n the peoplo a debt of $100,000 or more, for tho construction of a wator works, is not in doubt. If they Intended to conceal it they have failed nvsorably. By destroying tho value of the property of the Water Company thty would satisfy their personal hutrodt of the individual stockholders of that concern, and they would havo a plaything in the plant which ilny might use to advance their own personal and politic.il ends. Of course tbo peoplo would have to pay for it but they wouldn't let that worry thorn. It is now about time that the people unduritood the motivo3 by which this combine is actuated, am) unless I mistake their judgment and intelligence very much they are, as tho boys say, ,,ont to 'em." I would suggest here tbat the public indigna tion which is being felt at their actions bo givon exprestion at a public meeting, to be hold as early as convenient. Let the publio te'l tho eight members of tbo Councilmanic combine what they think about their actions, and lot us onco for nil understand whether they aro the servants or the masters of the peoplo.

The Lehigh Depot Will bo a Union !' sengcr Htatlon Hint thn l'hltudelplilA & Kcntllng Krclght Depot on North Main street Wilt Handle nil Krolght, E A DING railroad af lairs are taking on a decided "(!eal" shapo in this section and tho ork of consolidating tbe branches of that roid and tho Lehigh Valley for passnniter, freight and coal busi ness has begun. Yesterday Division Engitioer Ward and Superintendent Bortolet, of Mahanoy Plane, were in town and went over the tracks of both lines. Tho object of their visit was not made known, but it was learnod that they decided on a point of connection for the Blading and Lihigh. Valloy roads a short distance east of the rod bridge. AH P. & R. trtffh will be directed over the Lehigh Valloy road to Lost Creek, at which point thi can will cross over to the Heading road, thus leaving out Wm. Penn Itis raportoi tKattiuiq tlblej covering the changes will bo issu"d by Friday and that the trains will run under them by Sunday morning. It is now almost certain that all tho P. & R. and Lehigh freight business in this town will bo transacted at the Main street depot of tho P. & B. road and the Lehigh Valley depot will look after all passenger business. If this consolidation materializes it will be necessary to enlarge the platforms of the Lihigh. Valloy drpH.'and make many other changes for the safcty and con venience of the public. Guard rai's should certainly bo placod;along tho plat forms, as tho crossing of tracks to roach tha trains and leave them places lives in danger every day as tho traffic is at present. It is said that the enlarging of tho depot i contemplated, but this is not credited, as the withdrawal of the freight business will leave ample room for passengor service. Guesses of all kinds are made as to who will havo cbargo of the consolidated depots, but whatever plan1 the company may have in that connection are fenced in by secrecy. That tbero will be a cutting down ot tho working forces is a certainty, but no hint as to tbe intended changes can be gleaned, although it is said the company will mabo selections from tbe forces of both depots. Changes havo already been ordered at Ashland. They will go into eilect next Monday. The P. & R. and Lehigh Val loy depots will be consolidated and John E. Riley, tho present Lohigh agent, has been selected as agent for tbo Reading. Mr. Gjb'z the present agent of tbo Read ing, has been offered tbe appolntmant of assistant to Mr. Reilly.
