THE SALARIES OF me CITY OFFICERS.

There is now move on foot among 8
certain class of spoilsmen-becaus they
are not having finger in the pie-to arouse
dissatisfaction about the salaries OF
the city officers. They are the fellows
who come out in print as Anxious In
quirer," " Taxpayer" or something else
tlat may mean anybody or most likely
nobody. They lack the moral courage to
ONE out over their own signatures and
hir their opinions.
Take the office of City Engineer, the
salary is fixed at 81 300. 1t takes years
Of study and practice, to say nothing of
superior mental ability, for anyone to get
to be proficient IN engineering. And we
predict that no engineer will be able to
make, during the three years of his term,
the rea! estate registry-which would be
a great saving to the city at any price as
well as to the property holders by ending
ali litigation as to lines of streets, alleys,
and all roperties-and the Typographical
survey, both of which duties may, at the
pleasure of the Councils, be imposed upon
that officer. Both these surveys should
be made, and they should be made now.
We want to start out righ. tho second
class engineer is competent to do the
work, and no first-class man will leave
better employment to take poor paying
job from the city. The city must pay
salary enough to command the services
OF competent men.
We might speak of the Mayors duties.
Johnstown, be it said to her credit, has
chosen for Mayor man whom she can
safely trust with any duties that may fall
upon him to perform, and the city will
rest satisfied that such duties have been
rightly performed. When an ordinance
has been approved by him we can rest
assured that it will bear the test of trial
And few people have any idea of the great
amount of labor necessarily expended IN
prawing up any carefully prepared ordi-
nance.
If those who are disposed to kick will |
study the law providing for the starting |
of the govern ment of a city such as ours,
and will take the trouble to attend few
Council meetings, where the diff
ferent ordinances and other meas.
ures are fully considered, they will
get some idea of the great task before the
incoming officers of the new city. Years
Of training and professional study, as well
as practice in legal matters, are only
some of the requirements to a successful
of public affairs, part leu
arly at the outset of city government,
md they cannot be obtained without their
icing paid for.

The following is another chapter from
the Pittsburgh Chronicle Telegraph's de-
scription of the great political fraud per-
petrated in this county in the interests of
Delamater. 1t shows the methods used
to defraud the honest people and glorify
the tricky politicians. 1t is fearful and
terrible story, and shows state of things
that is dangerous and demoralizing

Loretto borough-There being but four
Republicans in this borough, it is easily
handled. The organ of Andrews and
Delamater, the Johnstown Tribune, in the
list of delegates gave the name of W. w.
McAteer and William Fry as represent.

swell the list of names. There is no
William Fry in Loretto, but there is a Sc.
bastian Fry, who is an undertaken and who
was burying sombodY while the the con-
ventlon was in session. McAteer was at
Ebensburg, however, you may depend on
it. Being postmaster he could not neglect

The followin g items are from the Ma
tional Stockman:
1T is the all-the-year worker that gives
the greatest yield. IN
Why not get butter or milk bull of
your own? Bulls are cheap now.
IT is better to keep the COW healthy
by good feeding than by medicine.
DON'T forget that calves will eatgrass
or hay when they are only a few weeks
old.
A DAIRY COW should go dry but a few
weeks in the year; dry cow is not .
paying one.
THE COW on pasture runs less risk of
constipation at calying than the one on
dry feed.
If you have scrub cows, poor scrubs
at that, the bull, if a good one, will be
nine-tenths of the herd.
NEVER mind about the color of the
cows hair, but If her skin is yellow it
is one point in her favor.
WE can't force people to. buy what
they don't want, so we must make the
kind Of butter they do want
Z THE COW that calves just before the
pasture season is over will get good
start for her winters work.
MILK fever is generally prsceded by
constipatio& good condition Of the
bowels is therefore important
THE summer COW also declares week.
ly dividends, but as there are SO many
summer cows, the weekly dividends are
weakly.
THIcKEN the watery SKINNED milk
with oil-meal or middlings and the
calves and pigs will not mind the extra
quantity of water in it.
IF you have no ice you can keep your
cream and butter in the we'll. A wind
lass is the most easily managed way of
raising and lowering them.
AT this time of the year 1t is just as
we'll to give the lately dropped calves
hay, and then there will be no change
from grass to hay while the calves are
young.
1T is easier to teach calf to drink
that has never sucked its dam, but al
lowing it to suck for three or four DAYS
will DO no harm and may do the COW
some good.
THE profitable dairy COW is now be
ginning to make calculations about de
cfaring scrip dividend. This divi-
dend to be followed by weekly cash div
idends during. the winter.
A GOOD bull is more important than a
good stallion because foal from almost
any scrub stallion will make work
horse, but a calf from scrub bull
may not be able to work in the dairy at
all.
