WHENEVER Republican gets into
office he is never satisfied unless he Is
squandering the public moner, whenever
all opportunity affords, and he has a
chance by his vote or otherwise to do SO.
As one amongst the many reasons Tor
this we give one instance right al home,
and that is this, 80 long rs the Demo-
Gratis had control of the water works
the whole thing went along smoothly
and with hut little expense. at least
there was no more money used thah
was really necessary to run the machine.
Now, that the Republicans have the
power as Water Works Trustees, they
have commenced to make the money
fv. They were not satisfied to allow Mr..
Wilson, the Secretary of the Water
Works, to remain ut the Office OF Mr. +.
g. Morgan. who kindly permitted HIM
to occupy D portion of his office free OF
charge, and was perfectly willing to allow
him 10 continue to do so in order to cur
tail the expenses of our city, but this
kind of thing don't suit RadlcHllsm- 1t
wasn't spending moucy-so they took
| Mr.. Wilson and crowded him into the
office Of a plumber and gas filter, and
pay heavy rentfor the room he orcu-
pics. Why was this done? The tax
PAYERS want to know something about
this matter. Trustees, rise and explain.
THERE is an ordinance Of our city pro-
hibting the firing OF tire-crackers, torpe-
dos, sky-rOckcts &c, within the corpora.
ton, and our police Fore have informed
us that they are going To enforce the or
dinancc to the letter, so that parents Will
have to keep watch over their children
and be careful how they allow them to
spend money without Knowing what 1t is
spent for, or they may have II fine and
some costs to pay. The same kind of II
warning as this was given late last ial
with relation to the snow ordinance,
and at the request OF the police II, thI, is
done, and yet some persons paid no need
to it and consequently WAS fined, and then
they blamed the police with oticiou-ues.
when the police should have received no
ccnsurc whatever, no more than they
should now il some one happens 10 get
arrested for shooting fire crackers in the
streets. The Fourth OF July will soon be-
here, and it will be pretty hard for per-
sons to refrain from this sport, but they
will have 10 Grub their patriotic feelings
little in this direction, or pay the PEN
atty.
