1t is matter of fact, that might easily
have been verified by anyone desiring to
be impartial, that the action against the
city Of Aberdeen and Cumming & Cook
has been continuous since the first hour
the contract was let tor the construction
OF system of water works. The HERALD
hopes it is also fact that the action will
continue until after the eleventh hour
fifty-ninth minute and fifty-ninth second
AT no time have the contractors been re-
strained or prevented from going ahead
with their work by this action. They
have simply been restrained from receiv-
ing any pay on their contract. "Thrice
is he armed that hath his quarrel just. !"
If the contractors are satisfied with the
business of their cause, they should never
have hesitated to keep right along with
their work and give the people water
There is question of right or wrong to
be decided, and it is in the hands OF a
just Judge, where it may be safely left.

A party platform is never intended to
be much more than means whreby the
"outs' may get in and the ''ins'' stay
there. The politicians are at sea just
now on the financial question, and are
looking for the planks that will build the
bset sort Of platform that will float them
into popular favor. The republicans Of
Pennsylvania favor the tree coinage OF
American silver, the democrats of Ohio
favor the unlimited coinage Of all silver,
while the democrats of Pennsylvania
want "a sound and staple currency,
based on gold and silver coined and cir
culated in such proportions as will keep
them on parity"

If it had been possible for those who
drafted the set Of resolutions, printed else
where, to point out that the interests of
the city of Aberdeen and of the person
mentioned are in the slightest degree
different, severe rebuke would have
been administered. But it is SO self-evi-
dent TO all that the interests of the person
is inseparable from the interests OF the
city what is for the interests of the city
must also be for the interest of the person
that it must be equally evident no set of
resolutions can make the same interest
subversive to ITSELF
Aberdeen herald. [volume] (Aberdeen, Chehalis County, W.T.) 1886-1917, 1891-09-10

The HERALD believes that it is better
to be right than popular. It believes
that it is better for Aberdeen's future
and for Aberdeen's good name that the
question of the right or wrong in the
matter of awarding the contract for the
construction Of the Aberdeen water
works should be judicially decided, even
though such proceedings should seem to
work temporary hardships upon the city.
1t believes that time will show that if a
wrong has been done, as there is every
reason to believe, that righting il will be
of inestimable benefit to Aberdeen.

When joint debate of public questions
was suggested to some Of the local candi-
dates Of the republican party in this coun-
ty last fall, it was pooh-poohed as being
too school-boyey: yet the daily press an
nounces that a joint discussion Of public
questions by Governor Campbell and
Major Mckinley has been arranged by
the residents Of Ada, o., to take PLACE
there this month. 1t is poor question
that hasn't more than two sides to it, and
discussion accentuates all the angles.

The HERALD is thoroughly in sympathy
with any movement to get water into
Aberdeen by fair means, and thoroughly
opposed to all other means. There is a
judge at Montesano in whom we all have
the most perfect confidence, who realiz-
ing the city's need Of water, will see that
there is no delay that can be avoided,
and who will also see that if any wrong
has been done, that it will be righted.

GENUINE GALL

Newspaper publishers receive many
very absurd propositions to sell Cor
more correctly speaking to give away
advertising space in their "valuable
columns. We have received many
such in our time, but for genuine gall

newspaper advertising agency at

letters and measly contracts ct. E..

tinction peculiar to itself They send
out the following proposition, which
is an insult to any self-respecting pub
Usher to ask him to sign:
We hereby agree to insert eight
inches, of advertising next to reading
matter, one year, regularly in our
weekly, set the type for same, and
change same monthly, paper to be
sent regularly to advertisers address
during continuance of same, for which
we are to receive as pay for the same
one Fine Clock, to be shipped to our
address after said advertising has been
inserted regularly three months as per
your offer.

length of ours set up twelve times

hope all such offers of something to
fill up their paper with will be indig-

whom they are sent. They ought tc
be.

Col. A. B. Andrews is getting con-
siderable newspaper praise on the report
of his promotion to the position of
First Vice-President of the Richmond

served and more too !; and should be
increased when it is known that he de
clined the great honor and larger
emoluments because it involved his
removal to New York City. He would
not severe his associations with North
Carolina. He is too proud of his

Gov. TILLAIAN, of South Carolina,
is being accused of inconsistence.
During the last campaign he severely
criticised the State officials for having
railroad passes-accused them of being
"bamboozled and debauched" and
it is now developed that he and his
family always ride on Richmond &
Danville pass.-Lexington Dispatch.
This was when Mr.. Tillman was
trying to be Governor and before he
had railroad pass of his own. 1t is

always see "bamboozling and debauch-
ery' in thing of this kind. When
he gets in the scarecrow vanishes.

THE BOOM VS.. DEVELOP
MENT.

1he StdteSVllle LHNHWU/h, So'h
menting on the article published in
the GOLD DEAF last week, from the
Wilmington Star, headed ""Town
Building" says this:
1t is a fact which cannot be disputed
that the "booming" of towns, real and
Imaginary, has done very much to
arrest substantial development in the
South within the past few years. Lo-
lallties in the woods cannot be made
into towns and cities by clearing out
underground, blowing burrows and
stalking off lots. Cities are not built
by men buying piece of ground at
wholesale, making great noise and
selling it out at retail at four or five
times what it cost them. Fuss is not
prosperity. Vaporing and blooming"
are things apart from substantial pro-
gress. There is no progress without
development, and any scheme that
does not contemplate attracting popu-
lation and that does not provide en-
ployment for the population after it
has been secured, is in its nature a
failure and disaster must over take it.
| Nay, more any scheme of proposed
development, even, if not conservative,
strictly honest, must collapse and when
it does so regulations will be buried in
the ruins and public confidence in the
community will be shaken if not de-
stroyed. There are schemes and
schemes these days there are "land
| Companies galore and before invest
ing with them people would do well
to investigate them critically and satisfy
themselves with regard to the men
who are conducting them. 1t may
be assumed at the outset that the com
pany which does not make the interest
of those who buy its lots its first
care is a company to shun. If il
is looking only to its own financial
interests it will fleece its customers
and turn them loose, and not only
will they be the sufferers but
when public opinion overtakes the
promoters, as it soon will, the ''boom'
will burst and the whole community
will experience the same sensations
that come next morning to the man
who was drunk over night.
| Concert of action among the people
is necessary to the up-building of any
community. If men organize them
selves for the special purpose of up
building, so much the better. If they
are honest themselves and their en-.
terprise is legitimate, they should
succeed in this section to which nature
| of climate are so delightful and raw
material so abundant should succeed
for themselves and for the community
in the midst of which they labor. But
this class of development has no re-
lationsfip to the "boom" which to
| day is and tomorrow is not. Develop
ment is steady and gradual, but it
results, when worked out, are substan
tial and benefcent. A development
company is now at work at Statesville
1t is trying not to give fictitious value
to the property; it is trying not t
