Our streets and side walks are now
in very fair condition, a good deal
of work and good many substantial
improvements having been perfected
durF-g the past season. This speaks
well feE cur village board. There is
nothing that adds more to the gener-
al appearance of a town than good
streets and sidewalks. Strangers
coming to town will invariably re.
mark this. Recognizing this fact,
our village officials have labored in
dustriously to bring about this state
of affairs. With two good public
wells, with an amply supply of water.
farmers and others coming to town
have no trouble in obtaining water
for their teams. And in this connec-
tion we are pleased to make note of
the fact that the village council at its
last meeting voted to construct 200
barrel cistern, to be located immedi-
ately back of the engine-house. This
cistern will be great convenience in
case of fire, and is one of the most
commendable improvements made in
our village for many years past. Han
cock is determined to be fully up to
her sister villages by a way of public
improvements.

The CRITIC this evening was not only the
most readable paper ever issued in Washing
ton, but its declaration of principles had q
true ring and gave evidence that you have a
purpose not wholly financial in publish lg
your paper. Editors Of new papers and new
editors of old papers often set out with very
fine declarations of principles, but they do
not often prove their sincere attachment to
those principles, as you have done by throw
ing out advertisements which would yield biz
profits to them. In casting out the Louisiana
Lottery advertisement and pay Ing back to it's
managers the money which others had ac.
cepted from them you have done a brave and
noble thing and given the most substantial
proof that your declaration of principles is
not a hollow pretense. The people of Wash

such lines. Place my name upon your sub

The exposure of the methods in
vogue at the mail bag repair shops of
the United States Postoflice Depart
mept made in THE CRlTIc yesterday,
give publicity for the first time to
system wrong in principle and oppres-
sive in practice. When the building
on G street was first rented and the plan
of sending all the torn and dilapidated
mail sacks of the postal service here to
be Imended was put in operation, there
was a great flourish of official trumpets
over the reform" and the saving it
would be 10 the Government. The
credit of this new arrangement was
claimed, Justly we believe, for the new
Second Assistant Postmaster General.
A superintendent Of the shop was
broughton from Ohio. The work was
begun.
The result up to date seems to be to
involve the Government in system
which looks like an ugly combination
of the Sweating system" of England
and the "pluck-me' methods of the
Pennsylvania regions. AS the shop
has been conducted it was rapidly be-
coming public scandal 1t is hoped
that THE CRT1C's exposure will remedy
the matter. 1t is not believed that Post
mastcr.G General Wanamaller, or his Sec
ond Assistant, Mr.. Whitfield, or even
Captain Cullen, the superintendent, is
really cognizant Of the full hardships TO
WI ich the employees of this shop are
subjected. TIE CBITIC has no desire
TO hold them responsible for the
wrtiched work provided, which
renders all who toll therein miserable
or for the ciucl regulation which re-
quires forty sacks to be repaired each
day by each worker. Nor yet perhaps
are they responsible for the fact that
the wages paid are so scanty. Yet, il
these things be not promptly remetlied,
we shall be compelled to 50 hold them.

The esteemed New York Times de
scribes the dodge by which fraud may

1t consists in getting possession of one of

to vote it and to bring out the new one
furnished him unmarked as evidence that
he has acted on his instructions.
