Foot Bridges.

What is the reason that the foot bridges
across Spring Hollow in the southern end
of town, that were washed away III the
early part of the past summer have not
been replaced They are greatly needed,
and the citizens of that part of town as
well as a large number generally are put
to great Inconvenience. A rise OF few
inches in the stream carries away the lose
board or two that some kindly hand has
placed across it and then women and
children cannot cross at all, while rain
of a few hours duration or the melting OF
few inches of snow would compel
pedestrians on a much used street to wade
through deep mud to reach the only place
where the stream can be crossed with a
plank. After night, IN the dark, it is
perfect trap and dangerous. The corpora
ton would undoubtedly, we think, be
liable for any damage sustained here. The
people of this part of town want to know
how long this great inconvenience not to
say dangerous affair, would have been
permitted anywhere near the center OF
town Yet they pay taxes. There is
surely some one responsible for this
neglect. 1t is shame, a glazing piece Of
injustice to permit these important needs
to be longer neglected.

il to themselves and the county to see
that not the smallest ground for eavil
remains, before they o sent to make

Verify consistency is a jewel in the
eyes OF some newspaper editors.
When the subservient tools OF Boss
Gardner unseated Senator Edward F.
Mcdonald, and gave his seat to the
wretched fraud, Stuar, the Newark
Ecening Ne1cs was loud mouthed in
denunciation of the proceeding. 1t
freely admitted that Mr.. Mcdonald
had been elected Senator by the peo-
pie, fraud or no fraud, and it pro-
nounced outrageous and revolution
airy the action of the Republican ma
jority of the Senate in unseating him.
1t is slightly bewildering therefore
to find the NeUs again in a denuncia-
tory mood, and, this time, because the
wrong has been undone and the fir aud
thrown out OF the chamber which he
disgraced. In this vein it reiterates
that the last State Senate discovered
mo sufficient proof OF fraud to take
away the whole enormous apparent
majority by which Mcdonald had
been declared elected to the Senate"
And yet it declares that the present
Senate has done its best to make bal
lot box stuffing respectable"
Can anything be more abs urd?
Yes, one thing, and that is the
ground on which our namesake bases
its preposterous criticism. 1t claims
that Senator Mcdonald ought to have
come before the present Senate as a
contestant for Stuhr' u seat. There
should have been an enquiry and a
full debate of the subject, and then
equity and decorum" would have
been observed.
1t is fair to ask the NelDs what new
light could an investigation or even a
debate throw upon the subject?
Would it be reasonable to
the whole session and thousands of
dollars in threshing ove all the old
rubbishg Gardner assuredly got at
everything that could be found dam
aging to Mcdonald. On the NeaDs'
own admission, he did not get enough
to impair Mr.. McDonald's title to the
seat. Doesn not that end the matter?
The trouble about the NetoS is that
it is a journalistic dyspeptic. 1t must
always have somebody or something
to find fault with, and 1t does not
much matter what the merits of the
case are, so long as it affords a chance
for a captious word or two in the
Neecs' own choice style of pompous
condemnation.
