Decreased Expenses---Tno Duty @
the Democrats.

The REPUBLICAN papers are prolific
of suggestions for the course Of theDe-
mocratic Party. We are very much
obliged to them. But when the trans
fer of authority is made by the people,
if we desire the advice of the Radical:
we will call for it, But the first CHIEF
duty of'the Democracy will be to dis
charge useless Office holders and re
duce the expenses about $10O, 100000
That will enable the nation to rcturr

The Quarrel IN the Council.

..-..z.s.---..... s7..--..-.@-.'is~
The Quarrel IN the Council.
When Mr.. Febiger concluded not to rer |
sign his seat in the Council and returned
and occupied it after being superseded
in the craftsmanship of the water de-
partment he gave his successor fair warm |
ing that he would oppose him on every |
issue. And he seems to be carrying out
this determination to the letter. un-
fortunately he carries with him idr. Wm:
Candy and Mr.. John Adams, men whom
it was supposed had the interests OF the
people more at heart, and did not fear the
Ring. That Mr.. Febiger should carry
the remaining Republicans wss expected
by those in the secrets of the party.
But what is still more discouraging, we
find Mr.. VIM. NJ. Candy falling into line,
and voting to expend 100000 On tho
reservoir job, Notwithstanding his report
with the estimate Of Mr.. Morris, the en-
gineer, that a basin could beerected large
enough to supply the city with water for
thirty years for $4,000. Mr. Febiger's
proposition to change Mr.. Morris plan
does increase the dimensions of the reser-
voir, except to deepen it For the purpose Of
saving the dirt to erect the banks fer the
southern half of the large basin, as origi-
nally proposed.
And this change Mr.. VIM. NJ. Candy
finally voted for. At the next meeting
Of the Council the latter gentleman said
the change would increase the cost from
$4,000 to $780, 1000, slight difference Of
$4,000. This is just $4,000 more than
the city is authorized to cypend on the
work.
But what do we get for this Sill .0O0.
According to Mr.. WIN. NJ C4nby and Mr..
Morris, the basin which was to cost
$4,000 would supply the city with water
for thirty years. If this be true is ii
wise to go on now and spend $4,000
merely for earth in a bank for another
basin that it is possible may never be
needed? We do not think so. st the
end OF thirty years the interest COM
pounded will bring the cost Of this pre-.
posed unsightly, useless and damaging
bank of earth up to over $500, 600. Al
the end Of thirty years, thu progress ot
improvement may render another BASH
entirely unnecessary. Then the dirt vii
be to cart away ut additional cost. Dur
ing all that time the bank will be an EN-
barrassment to that whole section of tn,
city, requiring an immense loss Of finn
in travelling around the streets to avoi
1t.
mir. Febiger's chief reason for ehans
ing plans of Mr.. Morris WIGS to get tn
dirt to build the bank
Now, we think the dirt WI cost to
much that s30O, 900 would even build
railroad mile or two long and pay fc
twice as much dirt, if the city shoul
want it thirty years hence. By that tiul
too it Is argued that the national del
will be paid, and the taxes will be lighte
We hope the Council will reconsid(
their last vote on this subject and d
termine to save S114000 while they chi
1t IS folly to go on and spend money
this way.
II it should be that the quarrel in Il
Council, or stubborn party spirit, caus
our people to lose this enormous sum
money, they will aorely regret they d
not elect better men, without regard

A change has been made in the Ash
brook firm of this place-Mr. 7. NJ.
Ashbrook retiring, and Mr.. John NJ.
Ashbrook, of Fairfield county, taking
his place. The incoming partner, Mr..
John NJ. Ashbrook, is one of the "solid"
and influential citizens of our neighbor-
ing county. We believe that he is the
owner of small farm of some 1400
acres of unsurpassed land adjoining the
village of Pleasantville, and is other
wise "well heeled," as the saying goes.
AS Somerset has long stood in need OF
such men, it is with. pleasure we note
this acquisition to her business interest
His interests in the Mill, grocery, and
other affairs of the firm will be managed
by his son-in-law, Mr.. Steward, who will
make Somerset his home.
We have not learned what Mr.. T. NJ
Ashbrook purposes driving at" in
future, but trust that he will find it tC
his interest to remain with us. A more
afable, prompt, and generally agreeable
business man than T. NJ. is rarely met
and we feel disinclined to permit any
such leaving us, without more or les
protestation.

We trust that the people of Northern
Perry will unite in the proper effort to
make the coming Fair of the P. c. L. S.
& NJ. A. U. Society more successful IN
every respect than any exhibition yet
held by the Society. 4 large attendance
at the exhibition is desirable for several
reasons, chief among which is the pc
cuniary assistance which it would bring
the Society, and which it greatly needs
to free it from debt, and place it in con-
dition to work without embarra ssment
or dependence upon unreliable sources
for finances. We feel sure that there is
nothing in the way of the permanent
future prosperity of the Society, if its
friends will but work together, with the
aim to place it upon substantial foot
ing. Certainly, all admit the great pro-
priety of sustaining the organization,
but none should be unmindful of the
fact, that just about now is the "tug," SO
to speak, and hence the necessity OF
unity of action. Northern Perry ought
to sustain, and can sustain, an Annual
Fair far ahead Of any thing of the kind
in any other section Of the county.
The present efficient officers and
Board Of Directors of the Society, are
laboring with most commendable zeal tc
further the interests of the organization
But its friends must not expect them tc
do all that is required to bring about the
desired result. We do not say that they
do-still there are too many indifferen
about il, and who are only so becaus'
they are not occasionally punched up
and the main object of this writing is t.
stir up all such.
