THE WALNUT STREET SEWERS


Work has been suspended on the Wal
nut street sewer for near two weeks, and
no steps have yet been taken by the
Council to provide money so as to re-
sumo work and compl to the same.
II is to bel hoped that action will be
taken on next Monday evening looking
10 that end. The work iswell advanced,
and the contractor and workmen only
await the action Of the Council to re-
sumo operations.
II may be we'll TO state the situation.
The City Council passed an ordinance
for the construction OF storm water
sewer on Walnut street. Some two
thousand Ave hundred dollars were al.
ready In the treasury for this purpose,
and levy was ordered providing for
the balance Of the money required.
This money, of course, Is not yet in
the treasury, but In the ordinance pro
viding for the sewer ia clause allow
Ing that bonds may be Issued, and
money borrowed on the strength OF the
levy. This may requires special ordi-
nance authorizing the bonds; and we
trust the Council will take the matter
into speedy consideration. q"
The opposition to this sewer project
was somewhat bitter In the Council |;
but the ordinance having been passed,
and a contract entered into, II is the
duty OF every member to help II along
now. Good citizens, and especially off,
Cials, should render prompt obedience to
law. Jefferson says, absolute acqnies-
cence In the decisions Of the majority,
etc"
II may be remembered that nothing
can prevent the completion Of the
sewer, II may be delayed, by q failure
to provide money In advance OF realiz'
Ing the same from the levy. But the
money will be along by and bye { the
completion OF the sewer, Let the Conn
ell, then, by unanimous vote, order
the Issuing Of bonds, and let the work
be completed this season, since II is 80
we'll advanced and fully provided for.

Of the.tax on the:mortgage, II is ques-

To Lady Randolph Churchill, who, by
the way, is an American lady, daughter
OF Mr.. Leonard jerome, does Lord Ran
dolph Churchill owe HIS reelection TO
Parliament. Although, under ordinary
circumstances the seat OF Lord Churchill
would have been secure, yet In view OF
the indifference with which he treated
his constituents, and the determination
OF the Liberals, who used every endeay0r
10 defeat him, made the matter serious.
IL is true that had he been defeated In
his own borough, q pocket borough
would have been offered, but the prestige
he would have lost would not have been
made np easily. In this dilemma Lady
Churchill ehowed her tact by coming 10
the front and electioneeriDg for her
husband, not In direct way, but by
Visiting and making herself agreeable
to the electors and their wives and
daughters, In her efforts she was
seconded by her father. who happened
to be on a Visit TO England. aud the re-
suit was that Lord Randolph was tri-
umphantly elected. II will not be amiss
TO give q short sketch OF the Secretary
Of India, who, In the opinion Of many,
Ia the rising politician Of England. He
Ia the son OF the Duke OF Marlborough,
and has led what was known as the
Fourth Party" In English politics, and
has made himself particularly promi,
nent by his attacks upon the policy OF
Mr., Gladstone, He tried to divide the
Liberal party by attacking Mr.. Joseph
Chamberlain, a Radical, charging him
with employing roughs to break up
Conservative meetings, and followed II
up by proposing vote Of censure
against the gentleman, but the motion
met with a crushing defeat. He de-
termined upon q tour OF the world, but
upon reaching the Orient, was recalled
