Cottingham. New York Is talking about spending $34,000,000 in East River piers. If we could only raise half that sum here in Pennsylvania we would "be able to show New York what a .real pier Is like. Once again The Citizen calls the attention of the Borough Fathers to the importance of having guard rails at the foot of streets border ing the rivers. The town has heen fortunate in not being sued by par ties who have accidently or other wise driven off the retaining walls. It would seem better to use a little precaution. It hardly seems credible that a town the size of (Honesdale, "with its beauty and a place of recognized healthfulness, would allow an open sewer to run into the basement of one of its churches. AVe ask the question, Is tho Board of Health or ganized? Will they longer permit this cesspool slime to ooze out and endanger the lives of hundreds of people who daily attend this church? The Board of Wealth have It in their power to close this cesspool, which would be the proper step to take. The affair is disgusting and should Tie given immediate atten tion. The committee representing the Town Council brought gratifying news home with them on Tuesday last upon their return from Harris burg. Deputy Highway Commis sioner Joseph W. Hunter Informed Burgess McCarty and Councilmen G. v. Penwarden tnat the State was willing to contribute one-half of sixteen foot road, one mile long in the borough with anything the town might suggest. Deputy Hunter says Main street is too wide and that it ought to bo cut down. He sug gests making a boulevard of North Main street, claiming that Hones dale would then 'be the prettiest town In the country. The committee was shown a boulevard in Harrls burg and they claim the effect was very pleasing. Tho difference between the coal operators and tho miners having been successfully adjusted, attention Is now being directed to tho dlfferen ces between the operators and the consumers. It will be remembered that with tho first sign of trouble coal advanced in price in some sec tions instead of coming down, and tho ordinary reduction during April and May of CO and 40 cents a ton was not only wiped out but a high er price was demanded. There was no apparent justification for this action, because it has been proved that there was plenty of coal and that there is still plenty of it al ready mined. Notwithstanding, however, there is now talk of with holding the usual discount of 30 cents a ton that Is allowed for tho month of Juno. It begins to ap pear that thoy welcomo signs of a strike in order to havo an excuse for boosting tho prlco of their pro duct. Tho minors got an increase of five and one-half per cent. Tho average value of coal at tho mines Is $1.90 a ton. Tho minor's in crease will add threo cents to each ton. It may bo a trlflo moro or less. Tho companies during the month of Juno propose to mako tlio consumer pay ten times tho cost of tho Increase that has heen won by tho miners. tho Citizen Publishing Company. K. Ii. ItAHBKNFKRGU W. W. WOOD ttl, 1JU2. THE DEMOCRATIC PRESIDEN TIAL CAMPAIGN. The Democratic presidential cam paign has been overshadowed by the more interesting and exciting cam paign in the ranks of the Republican party. Nevertheless our Democratic friends have had their own troubles and their own excitements in tho contest for tho presidential nomina tion. So far it is anybody's race and no man's victory. Early in tho cam paign it was Woodrow Wilson against the Held, with strong indi cations of his ultimate victory. But of late Wilson has shown much weakness in tho primaries. Champ Clark has developed unexpected strength, and Underwood has more than held his own. In tho Demo cratic convention it will require a three-fourths vote to nominate. It is extremely doubtful whether any candidate will go Into the convention with a majority of tho delegates. While Wilson represents the Progres sive wing of the 'Democracy, Under wood and Harmon the conservative element, and Champ Clark the low- tariff faction, it is ibelieved that no one of them has sufficient personal strength to unite on himself a suffl cient number of the supporters of the other candidates to secure his own nomination. Talk of a dark horse is therefore becoming more and moro prevalent, and the one whose name in that connection bobs up with the most persistency is that chronic seeker after the presidency William J. Bryan. Mr. Bryan has not announc ed himself as a candidate. No dele gates are being elected In his be half. Neither, let It be observed, has he attached himself to the fortunes of any of the candidates now in the field. Mr. Bryan is an astute politician. When the hour Is ripe, when the convention, after numerous ballots, has failed to agree on a candidate, Mr. iBryan will come up smiling. And if a kind Providence should order a stampede of the delegates to Mr. Bryan's tent, the big chief will not put away the proferred honor. A SERIOUS QUESTION. From the number of mysterious fires Honesdale has experienced dur ing the past few months, it would appear that there Is some reason for them. In almost every Instance there had been no fire where tho con flagration started. All of these llres wero In brick buildings, which are supposed to bo almost fire proof, and business places, too. Is there a fire bug operating in our community, or is 'there need of a rigid examination of the electric wiring of tho buildings of Honesdale? We prefer to think the latter. Take for instance the Leino lire. The pro prietor, when asked by one of this paper's representatives as to how long his store had been wired, re plied fifteen years. A further ques tion ibrought forth tho remark that no changes nor repairs had been made during this time, neither did any of the different insurance in spectors, who had Inspected the store, make any recommendations or authorize any alterations In the wiring. Does this signify that tho wires wero all right, or on tho other hand did tho examiners mako a hasty in spection and mark wiring O. K.? This is a serious question and one that ought to bo followed up. Somo competent person, party or parties ought to be placed in authority to examino every store, tenament, fac tory and church In fllonesdale. If this wero dq.no It might expose a number of places whero there Is de fective wiring and may bo tho means of saving considerable property. Tho continuance of lires in brick build ings in Honesdale might possibly lead to a ralso of Insurance rates. Havo tho examination and thon wo will all know tho condition of our buildings and will feel easier, and not live in suspense fearing that we, too, might havo similar experiences. It has been stated that by tho In stallation of several additional ilro hydrants that It would havo a ten dency to decrease tho flro rates. Not as long as we have fires and espocl ally In brick buildings, will there bo any reduction In tho rate, no matter If , there ,,worc many moro .plugs In stalled. Application might "bo made to tho Underwriter's Association for a reduction, (but they In turn would refer us to our fires. Let's got down to tho bottom of affairs, have a thorough examina tion of the electric wiring In our respective business places and houses and see If possible defective wiring Is tho re'ason for 'mysterious Arcs. If not, no harm will have been done nnd wo will then rest assured that our properties will bo free from flro as to defective wiring. Big Shipment of Bibles. Now York. Seven tons of Bibles, consigned to South Africa, nono printed In English, comprised the record shipment of tho American Bible society. HONOR OARPATIIRIA'S OA 1 TAIN.

Chicaco. A new' serum which its discoverer believes1, gives immunity from tuberculosis has been announc ed. Tho discoverer Is Dr. Karl Von Ruck, of Asheville, N. C. First re ports of the experiments on which he basis his contentions were given to the Chicago Medical society in a pa per prepared by Dr. Von Ruck.

Experiments made upon children and counter experiments made upon animals are said to .have demon strated the value of the discovery, Dr. Von Ruck does not yet claim It will cure consumption in Its ad vanced stages.
