| there Is another town in the State where
the citizens have uniformly proven SO
prompt and willing to respond to every
call when the object to be effected was
plainly public necessity, or even bene-
tit. But, in common with others, there is
| a strong objection to being used as a eats
paw, and being compelled 10 submit to
additional burdens of taxation for the
purpose of placing money in the pockets
of individuals, under the specious guise
of contributing to needed public improve
ments. The people must and do object
to rings and cliques that manage to en-
rich themselves at the expense of the tax
payers. They object to individuals seek
hing Office merely to further their own self
ish purposes, or those of their friends, with
whom tney operate. They object TO ex-
travagance, even if free from ali taint OF
undue influences. They object to useless
outlays, even if economical SO far as the
price of the work may be concerned. In
brief, they object to having their money
expended for any save legitimate and
needed purposes, or without being per-
mitted to have voice in its disposal.
Whether the present scheme is one of
which fheV approve or Wnetuef IL IS mol, rs
immaterial, so far as the objection last
mentioned is concerned.
But at present there is nothing 20 urge as
a reason for incurring the expense of this
scheme, either on the ground of public ne
cessity or public benefit. On the contra
ry, significant facts show that, whatever
may be the motives of those having the
matter in charge, the results are SO far
suspicious that they bring large profits
to the pockets of few, and OF the few F.,
too, who have been most forward in ma
nfpuiating the project. Whether these
suspicious are we'll founded or not, it will
at least be interesting reading to have
presented the facts upon which they rest,
and the names of those who have, SO lar,
managed the scheme, and to whom the
profits are to accrue. These We propose
to give hereafter, and in the meantime
leave the question for the people to de-
eide for themse Ives, whether they desire
to be taxed at least twenty Thousand dol
lars for building which they do not need !?

Marine.

Captains of steamers aver that the buoy .
at Bar Point are away from their proper
positions, which has been caused ,by RATS
getting foul OF them. Also, that light
ship located there would decrease the dan
ger to vessels passing that way.
Under the provision OF the admiralty
law sailor is entitled to his pay tor SER
vices rendered at the expiration of the
voyage or times specified in the articles of
agreement. If a seaman's wages are not
paid within ten days after the voyage is
ended he may libel the vessel. Rnt if he
is bound to remain and assist in discharg-
ing the cargo then he cannot attach the
vessel until ten days after the cargo is
discharged. unless she is going to sail be-
fore that time. 1t the sailor is discharged
at the end of the voyage, and before the
vessel is unloaded, then he may proceed
Immediately against the vessel.

The fiat has gone forth, and Painesviiie
is to have new Engine Honse-so called.
The land has been purchased, the contract

needed preliminary steps taken by the
aPowers that be- With this much done
there is suggested the pertinent inquiry
For what purpose is all this outlay and
expenditure of money, and what COM
mensurate public benefit is to be gained
by calling upon the people to pay twenty
or thirty thousand dollars for that which
they do not need. In other words, is the
scheme one for the benefit of the town or
of individuals?
1t is but a few months since the propo-
sition TO build Town Hall was submit
ted to the people, and was emphaticaily
voted down. Changing the name of the
the proposed building from ''ToWn Hall"
to s'Engne House, the Council have
ayailed themselves of the power conferred
by another statute, and now compel part
of the people of the township to do that
which the whole refused to do. Would it
not he Wen for the people to inquire the
reason OF this persistency and disregard
of their expressed wishes2 Ifthe proposed
building Is to he an engine house proper,
there are few OF the taxpayers of the
town who will say it is needed. 1t is only
a short time since the building now occu-
pied for that purpose was rebuilt and re-
fitted, and it is certainly not yet in SO bad
Il condition as to call for u new one, the
contract price of which is almost fifteen
thousand dollars. If, however, the scheme
is to practically secure Il Town Hall, un-
der another name, the project is one that
has already received the unqualified con-
demnatiOn of those Interested. In either

Generous AppreciaIioa ae

Almost every individual who listened to
the concert of the Band and the chorus of
voices on the Park last Friday evening
| was disappointed. But happily so-for
| the entire programme WAS SO much better
! aud its rendition SO much more perfect
| than had been anticipated that the gener-
al feeling was one of pleasurable sur
prise.
In general the Band did better even
| than is its wont. The selections were ex-
| celient and there was an evident amount
| OF individual painstaking, induced per-
| haps by the '.inspiration of the occasion"
! Mlich produced as its result, marked
| Improvement in the rendering of all the
| pieces undertaken. Perhaps the best of
| the selections. both in arrangement and
| feeling of playing. was the selection
from Martha given as the opening of the
| second part ofthe programme.
| The Chorus, although its training had
+; been but OF the brieiest kind, was Kept
we'll together and in most, If not all OF the
| programme, earned merited applause.
AS is almost always the case there was too
| great preponderance of female voices
| fer open air singing although many would
| hardly consider that as a defect. The
| "Anvil Chorus" from II Trovodore, was
| the most popular OF all the selections
given and partly through the novelty of
| the anvil and band accompaniment as we'll
as through its own merit, received an en-
| thusiastic encore.
| 1t is expected that the entertainment
will he repeated within Il few weeks.
| When this is done the managers would
| add greatly to the effect If the chorus
should be placed outside the band stand.
| The roof browns the voices and mars
much of the singing, which would sound
| far better if given outside of all enclosure.
| But after all this was only a minor defect
and one which is easily remedied in future
entertainments.
Taken altogether the managers may
| feel perfectly satisfied with the result-so
| far as their efforts are concerned, at least.
To Professors Burt and Hamim the pub
lie are certainly indebted for an evening of
musical enjoyment-to the former as lead
er of the Band and arranger of the accom-
paniments, and to the latter for the ener-
gy and skill with which he organized and
drilled his chorus.
At the close of the entertainment col
lection was taken up for the benefit of the
band. And now was presented an OppOr-
tunity for the people to evince their gener-
| Gus appreciation, which, as was to be ex-
pected, was eagerly seized upon by those
present. AT the time the collection was
| commenced there were at least two thons-
| anu persons upon the Park. When finish
| ed there were probably that many hundred
| The amount obtained Was-Fourteen Dol
| lars and Ninety Cents.

The Marshal.

On Monday next special election is to
be held to choose City Marshal to fill
the vacancy caused by the resignation OF
Frank QUAINT. The Office is an important
one and in selecting the candidate to fill
it. the people should bear certain facts in
mind.
Upon the City Marshall, more than upon
any other ofIicer in the corporation, de-
wolves the duty of preserving order and
quiet. He it is whom the people rightly
expect to be promptly present at every
disturbance,to exercise constant visiience
aud to feaflessly perform his duties by
personal attendance. Formerly our town
could manage well enough with only a
village constabulary but now our size has
so far increased as that the Gld-fashioned
ways are insufficient and the constant
service of a competent man is an impera-
tive necessity.
For this reason, it becomes an absolute
prerequisite for candidate that he be so
situated as to devote his entire time to
the discharge and performance of the du-
ties of his office. The people pay a good
salary and the people are entitled to d
proper return in the way of services rem
dered. Undoubtedly it would be very
pleasant for any man. already engaged i'll
business, TO receive the Office and thus add
$500 to his income, without being called
upon to sactifce either time, occupation,
or convenience. But this kind of arrange
ment is not by any means what the town
demands or what it is entitled to receive.
An important question, then, for every yo-
for tn aSl Monday . whether tho as H.
didate soliciting his support will give his
time and attention to his duties or whether
he will merely take the Office and tack. it
onto his business in order to add so much
to his income without the intention or de-
sire to faithfully serve the public interest.
Whoever is electedshould be thorough,
careful, prudent man with good Judgment.
These qualities are SO essential that no
candidate not possessing them should re-
ceive even the slightest support. But
above all the citizens should insist that the
person chosen shonld give his whole time
and attention to the work to be done. 9th
erWise shirkng and dissatisfaction are
inevitable.
1t is announced that on Monday there
are to be no less than four or five aspir-
ants for the position, each of whom will
undoubtedly receive the support and aid
of his Immediate friends. Between these
candidates and SC far a S the question is a
personal one we desire nothing to say. So
far as we know they are all capable
enough il only they will attend to their
business. But, ceteris pdribas, the man
who accepts the office and relies upon that
alone, is far more apt to faithfully perform
it's duties than he who combines it with
| other business, and seeks to use it only as
a means to add to his income.
And as upon this officer depends, to a
very great extent, the preservation of Or
der and quiet, it is by no means an unill-
portant question for every voter to decide
as to whom he shall support.

In the first place it is hot, and with thai
sage remark L am almost tempted to stop
writing. But perhaps 1 had better try
and give You few items, as have not
written you before for some little time.
We had party of young folks out here
from Painesville last Saturday. They
got Kellogg's Hall and had dance and If
they had danced just little longer they
would have broken the Sabbath, which
would have been sad.
The heavy rains CT last week and the
first part of this week have proven to be
almost too much. In the village on Mon
day several of the stores and dwellings
narrowly escaped being flooded and from
the country complaints are already coming
in of the extent and damage OF the storm.
Crops generally seem to be doing pretty
Well. The wheat averages fairly and. !.
thanks to the unceasing labor of the far
mers, the potato bug has been SO far con-
duered that there may be very fair crop
of potatoes, after all. Wild fruits are be-
ing offered freely and faspberries can be
bought for six and eight cents quart.
Last Saturday night as Mr.. William
Marsh of South Madison, accompanied by
his family, were going down the hill near
Mrs. CLIPS with three-year-old colt, the
animal became fractions and jumped to
one side, throwing them, colt, wagon and
all, down the nank some fifteen feet, break
ing Mrs. Marsh's leg below the knee, one
of the bones twice and the other once, be-
sides injuring her back. Mr.. Marsh was
severely bruised on the shoulder and side,
ter very fortunately escaped serious inj
ry, and MIR. and Mrs. Marsh are progress
sing as rapidly as possible toward com
piete recovery. SIGAMON.
