We give space this week to communi-
cation from G. NJ. Blaker on the subject Of
"Bossism." Questions of politics are al
ways in order, and our columns are open
to any correspondent who wishes to dis
cuss any subject of interest, and who has
the courage to put his name to what he
writes. Both sides of every question will
always be given a fair show, so long as
the discussion is kept within proper
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1884-02-08

A new question has arisen in the matter
of the sewer, and that is as to tho rights of
the municipal authorities to enter npon
and lay the pipe on private property. The
Act of Assembly authorizes borough Off
GERS to make common sewers, and to enter
upon private property for that purpose,
But the constitution provides that no
private property shall be taken for public
purposes unless payment be previously
made or secured. 1t is little singular
that provision has been made for the as
sessment of damages in the case of rail
roads, canals, gas and water companies,
but the. legislature has overlooked public
sewers altogether. AS release for right
of way has not been secured, and probably
cannot be, from some of the property own
ers over whose land the proposed route
passes, the objection will be made that the
Council have no right to enter upon these
lands without first making payment for the
same, and if the land owners will not ac.
cept reasonable compensation for damages,
and.the law not providing for assessing
damages, another snag will be struck be-
fore the sewer is completed. Upon an ap-
plicGtion for an injunction to restrain the
Town Council from entering iupon private
lands, the courts will again have an oppor-
tunity of settling the yexed question.

The trial of Albertson, the deaf mute,
for stealing book at the store of l. w.
Hartman & Son, is in progress as we go to
press, Thursday. Considerable difficulty
was experienced in the trial from the fact
that the testimony had to be written out so
that the defendant might know what it
was W. L. Smith Esq of Berwick de-
Tended him, and of course labored under
disadvantage in not being able to converse

That there have been no fatal accidents
to slcighing parties and coasters has been
the result more of good luck than good
management. A number of upsets and
runaways have occurred, and coasters
riding down the streets crossing Main
street have collided with teams, but so far
no funerals have been necessary Coast
ing down any street that crosses Main
street should be prohibited by the town
authorities.

Quite number of true bills were found
by the grand jury, against persons for
stealing coal from the cars Of the Blooms
burg Iron Company. How long this pill
fering has been going on it is impossible to
say, but ii is evident that quite II number
of families have been supplying them
selves with coal in this way for some time.
The punishment of those who have al
ready been detected should deter others
from following their bad example. Hon
esty is the best policy, even if you have to
buy your coal.

We have not had time to examine it critic
ally, In glancing over it, we observe that
Centralia does not possess single dog, so
