The Palatka daily news. (Palatka, Fla.) 1884-1888, 1886-10-30

John r. Mclean the editor and proprietor
of The Cincinnati Enquirer, Is very fond OF a
joke and hes the good sense to appreciate one
even at his own expense. Summer before last
he was walking rapidly with a friend along
Twenty-ninth street in New York vt the
corner of Fourth avenue he saw very hard
up looking oil Hibernian standing on the op-
poSite corner gazing liStlessly into vacancy
Watch me surprise this old fellow, said he
to his friend. Look right into his face and
see if it won't be a study \ second later
they were abreast the old chap. when John
pullei a silver coin out of his pocket and said,
rs he thrust it into the old mans hand: Here's
that quarter | owed you. Now don't 20
around any more telling people that I don't
pay my debts. | always speak well of you
and you have no reason to do otherwise 10y
me- For second the mans face was a
study
He was amazed at the unlooked-fo for kindness
and then its pUrport drew upon him he
raised his tattered hat, and said God bless
yer amer, III niver say another word agin
ye, but and here his eyes twinkled merrilyl
are ye sure it Wasn't half yez owed me-
The friend roared, and as Mclean Redeemed
to the roots of his hair exclaimed, oh, pay
the man in full. Don't try to beat him out Of
quarter The Irishman got two halves in
addition to his quarter, but the editor no
longer pays debts at sight unless demanded

Pull Together.

The business men and citizens oil Pa
latka do not entirely pull together. We
have plenty of public enterprise, but the
weak point is that our people will not
cordially cooperate. There are so many
enterprises that call for concert of action
but which fail or drag along, because We
stand aloof from one another. One man
can't do il all.
Take the sewer question 40 a sample.
There is not citizen in Palatka that
does not recognize its Importance. But
it drsss its slow length along simply be-
cause our citizens do not come together
and at once set the work in motion.
The council has gore right so far. =
good committee has been appointed to
see that survey is made and the city
plated. This they will accomplish by
the appointment Of competent sanitary
engineer.
When this work is completed we are at
the threshold of the enterprise. An es-
innate of the cost of providing for a
good sewer system will follow. If the
The Palatka daily news. (Palatka, Fla.) 1884-1888, 1886-10-30

cost is not too great, then the work will
be begun at once, provided the citizens
agree TO bond the city To provide the
necessary means.
But here is where the business men
and citizens need most 70 pull in unison.
The whole question of building sewers
and their cost should be thoroughly I'M
Gerstood before entering upon the work.
Citizens can alone make this matter
clear. They should inform themselves
on the subject so as TO be able to discuss
the question, if necessary, in all its
bearings.
We want 10 such thing as ''jobbery"
about the enterprise. We can best do
the work ourselves. Ii the estimate is
reasonable, and the work such as our
ability will admit of performance 10y the
city, then all we have to do is to APP
point competent engineer and go
ahead. a supervising committee, or
trustees, would be necessary, and they
should be selected from our own citizens.
But back of all it is public opinion,
and TO give shape and force to the under
taking, our business men must give the
matter ate zion and cordially cooper
ate. Pun together in this matter, and
soon We viii have what we need mt a
REASONABLE cost.
