he may expect to be confronted with a
circular reminding the public that he

expressed his idea of people running fol
office in this state who were not born il

said
1t is natural that Pennsylvania should

FLOODS IN TEXAS.
Great Damage Caused by the Rise OF tho lilc
Ursnde and Heavy kRius.

\ special from Laredo. Texas, says ;
the rains of the last day or two have
caused an Unprecedented rise in tho Rio
Grandc. At noon Friday the risc was
eighteen feet. II has since fallen one foot.
Heavy rains haze been falling Friday and
/. is expected that greater height will
bo reached. Sheep owners are apprchenS-
ing great loss among their nooks by
drowning.
Numerous washout are reported ON the
International and Texas railroad. The
bridge over q creek near Laredo on tho Rio
Grando aud Pccos railroad is gone and
the road bed is badly damaged. Last
night just after the Monterey train on the
Mexican National railroad had crossed the
bride over the Rio Grandc, largo por-
tion of the structure was washed away.
Several houses on the Mexican side of the
river are inundated. 4 large derrick on a
tower erected in the river by the ferry
company, and which withstood last years

delayed. The damage on the Texas and
Mexican road for one hundred miles east
is very heavy.

TIE Pittsburg Dispatch makes the
point that there are other constitutional
mandates just as binding upon the Leg
lslature as that directing 1t to make an
apportionment, which have been re-
jected, and which nobody seems 10
insist upon very strongly. 1t instances
the clause against free passes and the
articles regulating railroads and cOrpOr
ations in general, which, il says, the
Legislature is directed to eHfore by ap
propriate legislation and IN which thus
far there has been melancholy failure,
This is lamentably true. 1t does not
lessen the obligation of the Legislature
to make an apportiOnment, however
That duty is binding upon it, and, hap,
PLY for the Democrats, they are not
responsible for the failure to perform it
The Republicans are the obstructionistS
and they are responsible for the extra
session and it's failure thus far to accom-
plish its objects Still 1t is not to be
forgotten that there are other COnStitu
tional duties yet TO be performed besides
that of making appOrtionment, and the
Democratic state platform declares in
favor of them.

THE PDLE TROUBLE


sioic Uouncn.
Ea-ton Express.
Town council at its last meeting very
properly aud justly declined to act hastily
on the petition of the telephone company,
asking the privilege of using the sidewalks,
on which to erect their poles. Unfortu-
nately, however, the matter was again
referred to the street and fire committees,
who will probably report tomorrow even.
ing in favor ot granting the privilege
asked for. We sincerely hope that all
members Of council who have any regard
for tho rights Of their fellow citizens will
thorough examine both the petition aud
the resolutions before voting in favor of
them. 1t is u question whether council
has the legal right 10 give the sidewalks
of the town for the purpose asked for, and
unless the mombers are legally advised by
the borough solicitor that they have the
right, they should postpone final action
until his opinion Is obtained. And even
should ho decide that council has the
| right 10 give away what is actually private
property, every fair minded councilman
should vote for the protection of our tax.
payers.
Those poles will have 10 come down in
| all tho towns and cities OF tho Union. Tho
| people everywhere are opposed to the
| miserable nuisance of them on the streets.
| To talk of erecting more of them in Eas
ton is absurd.
New kra.
There is feeling abroad that the tele.
graph, telephone and electric light poles in
cities are neither profitable nor desirable.
| Our own councils do not seem TO have
realized this fact, however. We believe
no denial was ever made by them to any
parties asking permission to erect such
poles. On the contrary, permission to
| do 80 was fully granted, 1t is matter of
public interest to know how they will,
in the light of REQ Mt events, act in
the future. Public sentiment is almost
universally against tho erection of any
| further nuisances of this kind on our
streets. In every case tho privilege has
been accorded without resulting in any
benefit to the city. Not penny has been
realized from these money making con
Germs. The city barters away valuable
franchises without receiving any compen,
sation whatever, contrary to the desire of
tho people, who, while they feel they are
wronged thereby, are nevertheless left
without any redress whatever. 1t is to be
hoped that when the next concern comes
along with such request, it will encounter
