The COuucils, Doinys

In the city councils last evening the an.
pointment Of a hoseman in the fire de-
partment by the fire committee, was an
proved, although he was not y years old
and was therefore ineligible under the ordi.
nance. The obvious suggestion of this ac
tion is that the ordinance in this regard
should be amended, as it was certainly
wrong for councils to disregard it. The an.
polntee IN this case may have been entirely
ut, notwithstanding his youth, but as his
appointment was forbidden by the law it
should have been cancelled or the law
should have been amended.
Mr.. Riddle introduced an ordinance tax
ing telegraph, telephone and electric light
poles; to which we should think there couId
be no fair objection if the city proposes
still longer TO endure them. They should
all be buried, but while they stand they
should be heavily taxed, and the one dol
lar per pole per annum is hardly enough.
Ihe same ordinance proposes a tax upon
public hacks and wagons, establishes
stands for hacks and requires them to bear
numbers on their lanterns and sides. and
also prescribes the rates they shall charge
The need OF this ordinance is doubtful,
The idea is, we understand, that as the
streets are largely used and worn by these
vehicles, run for profit, they should pay
especially towards keeping them in repair ::
and there is doubtless justice in the i'm
position. The doubt we have, however.
is as to whether these public hacks should
lQ nm rral .l,..l
wear OF the streets is not paid for in their
great public convenience. No town that
we know of has so many carriages, public
and private, as this. 1t is quite a feature
Oh The city and the public service is very
cheap and satisfactory. These hacks are
better adapted TO our needs than horse
railroads, which the limited sizs of the
town hardly demands and its hills do not
invite. If councils want to raise a reyenue
OF the streets, based on the damage done
70 them by public vehicles, they might
Wen lay a heavy tax upon railway cars
pus We cannot say that we are satisfied
.has public carriages and wagons should
b taxed.
Inc provision that the public hacks and
their drivers shall bear numbers ia a yerv
proper one, since those who employ them
VIII thus be enabled TO identity them in
case OF suffering any abuse.

WilsOn.MOeB Mystery.

AT last Wilson's great secret is out and
it is just such story as a man of Moen's
standing and character would dread
whether true oruo. Would not any man
be tempted to pay almost any amount that
he could raise rather than have shadow
cast on the memory of the dead ? The tale
is plausible and Wilson has plenty of evil
dence ready to support it, but for this the
public wa prepared by the knowledge that
it must have been well.grounded lie that
was used with such terrible effect upon
the millionaire. By his rapacity the black
mailer brought matters to such point that
Moen was compelled to stop paying and
after the trial of course he could not expect
to be re established on the old footing But
now the story founded for purposes of
blackmail is to be used if possible to estab-
lish the mans position as an heir. Wilson
claims to have letters from Moen addressed
I" Dear Son, but is it at all probable that
any man with common sense would commit
himself IN that way TO man who was de /
ing with him entirely by threats to which
such an expression would give additional
strength; MOen may be more or less of a
fool, as most mOrtals are, but it will be
hard 10 make people believe that he had
lapsed into such state of idiocy as to write
letters containing any acknowledgment of
the truth Of the story he feared SO much.

WHEN the Atlanta returned from her trial

unable to sustain Il for six consecutive hours
1t now turns out that there is nothing in the

was S,03l, and this was only maintained for q
few minutes, while during the wholesiN days

MEMBER of the New York riding club
complains that Americans will never follow
anything until It becomes the fashion. Riding,
for instance, has always been considered a
healthiul exercise, and yet from the sudden
craze for 1t that has seized upon fashionable
people, one would think that it has Just been
discovered. 1t Is urged that riding Is espe-
cially adapted for ladies' because 1t develops
in them qualities Of self reliance and decision
OF character which their surroundings and
education suffer 10 remain dormant A rider
Is constantly facing emergencies that require
quick decision, Judgment and confidence, and
80 must IN time acquire those useful qualities
The New York man tails into the common
error OF mistahing the motives of his own
little circle OF Ang maniacs for those OF the
people OF the country. Riding has long been
iavorlte exercise in Pennsylvania and the
farther back we 90 in local history the more
general will we find the custom. The ladies'
and gentlemen Of fifty years ago passed plenty
OF time In the saddle, and those who are SO
fond OF It now do not Ulindly follow a custom
because 1t Is English and the fashion, but
because 1t Is pleasant and healthy. There has
been good deal of riding by Lancaster
people IN the past year and II happened that
greater zest than usual was shown in IL.
This was in some measure due to the enter.
prise OF a liveryman who kept good saddle
horses, though the fashion may have had a
very little 90 with it.

THE attempt to force lease of tho Phils.
delphia gas works through counctls has been
50 vigorously opposed that it may be- re-
garded as finally abandoned, at least in its
present form. This is dus first to the stren.
uous opposition OF several of the daily
papers, and then to the powerful speech of
Councilman Ma!oney, who is the direct
opposite of his New York namesake.
He branded the whole proposition az
gigantic steal, and said that the
fact that is was disguised under bust.
ness principles made it all the more oh.
jectionable. He said that the worst man in
any community is that selfish man who trans.
acts his affairs on strictly business principles
of this kind. He said further that councils
had been unable to get the necessary informa.
ton as to the value of the property and that
the only people asking that 1t should be leased
were those interested. Ifit were possible to
provide that none Of the gas trustees or owners
OF newspapers should hold stock the ordi
nance would at once lose all support.
