cliarities, havesufTered from the pruning
knife,
The last bill passed by the house was
tho measure giving county commis
sioners of tho diiTeront counties tlie
right to make bicycle roads, and use 10
per cent of the good roads tax money in
so doing.
Governor Hastings has signed the bill
adding Lincoln's, birthday, February 12,
to tho list of holidays; providing for tlie
certifying of nominations in cases where
there is no opposition to candidate o
candidates; for return of paupers to
states where they Jb'dong; taxing stocks
of building and loan associations for
state purposes; to transport school chil
dren to tlie schools of their resident dis
tricts; for the imprisonment of persons
arrested for cruelty; punishing attempts
to secure positions of trust by false rep
resentations; regulating satisfaction of
mortgages; regulating sale of silver
goods; providing that manufacturers
that annually pay a certain sum to the
state may soil malt or brewed liquors
only to those dealers licensed by the
court. The governor also affixed his
signature to the Hamilton road bill and
sent joy into evory editor's sanctum by
signing the libel bill.
SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
EDITOR TRIBUNE^—Tho picture I am
painting of tho correspondents is so
strikingly true that at least ono of the
men on the canvas is getting uneasy
and may not sit quiet throughout tlie
ordeal. The poor fellow thinks it might
be ease to bis mind and possibly relieve
liis embarrassment if I would call myself
by some other name. My dear sir, it is
only imagination, only imagination, sir.
There is nothing.in a name, nothing in
a name, sir. It is the truth of tho por
trait I am painting tiiat people would
rather tlio correspondents to notice.
Let mo go on with tlie work while tho
canvas is spread before me:
As pedestrian travelers, the llazleton
correspondents have no equals in the
town. Learned to a small degree, these
men are, the spoiled children of cheap
applause, and on that account considcr
themsolves the privileged jesters of the I
town. Urged on by the few who
patronizo their writings, the correspon
dents have grown senseless to the high
principles that govern the profession—
and the epidemic malady of the mind
seems to be passing from one senti
mental humbug to another.
The lash is often laid on with tlie ut
most severity, and is rarely, if ever,
justified. Hut the circle that applauds |
and encourages the nipping of the corres
pondents Is narrowing. The people are j
growing to hate and despise the wonder
ful mock respect which wo find dang
ling at the end of every criticism in the
llazleton papers. These writings are
nothing like tlie remarks you would hear
in sonsible conversation. They are
mere on the order of a "Mrs. Caudle."
They are to the taste of tho town very
much like tiiat kind of fruit which drops
into tiie mouth before it is ripe.
It is common opinion that these gentle
men havo mounted above their quarry.
Tho keen edge of satire is worn off their
ridicule before the shafts sink into thoir
victims. The correspondents have many
powerful chances to do good and merit
approval. Unless they wish to be look
ed upon with utmost contempt by the
town, their policy must undergo a radi
cal change. The arrows of malice and
ridicule must be silenced and a better
spirit displayed by these men. We are
all getting impatient of tho false posi
tion in which the town is being placod
by these scribes. We are growing weary
of the over-cbarged descriptions wo find
in communications and correspondence
from our town.
Everybody feels keenly what I have
tried to make plain in these articles.
Our council and school board and other
town officials are as capable of taking
care of our interests as are the conceited
scribblers who attempt to belittle and
ridicule them. It is very hard for an
empty sack to stand upright; equally
hard for an empty and swelling head to
balance straight. These men, wo hope,
will take their latitude, as tlie town has
their measure long ago.
What the correspondents and their
friends try to claim as courage on thoir
part, the town stamps as an unaccount
able and very large bump of conceit.
I would not give 10 cents a dozen for all
the wisdom these pencil-pushers are able
to grind out. The kinks in their heads
need to be re-adjusted.
A headlong plunge into meanness and
malice is another of the disgusting
modes they employ to vent their dis
pleasure of prominent citizens, as was
witnessed in Saturday's Plain Speaker.
There is nothing to distinguish such
writings from tho meanest of the low
and tho lowest of tho most offensivo. It
staggers my belief to find that such cross
grained, vile and contemptible criticism
of a respected citizen in a public news
paper is permissible. But these men
iiavo substituted tiie badge of meatless
for the honored badge of the newspaper
profession in thoir attempts to bosmirch
tlie honor of the town and our citizens.

Another chapter has been added to
the five-cent-horse deal which was rc
portcd in Thursday's TRIBUNE. The
Hebrew peddler on Friday had Hrusaek,
the Hungarian who bought tlie horse,
arrested on a charge of assault and bat
tery, and Alderman Gorman, of llazle
ton, placed him under SSOO bail, which
was furnished by Superintendent Wag
ner. This was followed by the issuing
of a search warrant for tho horse, and
tlie animal was taken from Hrusaek and
turned over to tho peddler. From pres
ent indications tlie end is not yet.
A social hop was given by Eckley R.
Coxe, Jr., on Saturday evening, to a
number of visiting friends at bis hand
some now residence. It was a brilliant
affair. DoPierro's orchestra furnished
tho music. Tho lawn and building were

and made a (ine appearance.
