and the only scenery used was a representation
OF Roman ruins. The large aud critical audi

From the Buffalo Commercial.
A Buffalonian writes from Nice that in the
smoking room, which is frequented chiefly by
English people, the after-dinner talk is very
apt to drift toward American topics, and any
guext who has visited that country sets up at
once as an Authority on the subject
One gentleman, scotchman and man of
education and breeding, said: "Ahi yes.
know you Americans pretty well was in the
states some twcnty-six years ago" When
ssked what impressed him most during his
visit he said: Il found great laxity IN the adj
mlnstrstion OF the laws. In many cities
really felt that il was unsafe to go about the
streets after dark. In what cities? Well. in
Louisville, Chicago and particularly m Buff
falo. where saw hundreds of the aborlgines
gong about without restraint"
Our Buffalo friend pricked up his ears Mt this
and made some incredulous remark. Indeed.
yes, said the other. ''the native red men in
blankets and all that" Our friend observed
that Buffalo happened to be his place of resi-
dence and thai the only savages he remem-
bercd seeing there were the occasional and in
offensive vendors of sassafras root: but the
Scotch gentleman knew better. Buffalo was Q
wild aud dangerous border town. and he did
not hesitate 10 let his American intcrloc utor
see that his statements concerning the present
commercial greatness of that city could not
impose on him. He had been there.

LET us HAVE PEACE.

The injunction suit between the
Shenandoah Water and Gas Company
and the Electric Railway Company
has been amicably adjusted and all
interested seem perfectly satisfied.
Suppose the Water Company and
the Joint Committee on public water
works, or the Borough Council, or all,
now try hand at amicable settlements
The factors of both parties are citizens
of the borough and, as such, they
should aim to dwell in harmony and
strive to make the leading town in the
county prosperous one.
Let the cool heads of the contending
factions come together and look ovel
matters.
Il is true that the people were in
censsd by the action of the Water
Company in suing for the money
claimed to be due on back fire plug

was strong public sentiment in favor

Staley To-night.

Long before the curtain rose at the Far
nam street theatre last night the standing
room only" sign had to be hung out. Such
was the welcome Omaha gave to George G.
Staley and his thrilling play, "a Royal
Pass" All the interest of course centered
around Mr.. Stsley, who is one of the
cleverest of the German dialect comedians
now on the stage. His work showed the
result of hard study and close attention
to details, The support was good and the
audience lsvishod their applause upon
Louise, the little child of the star. In his
scenes and songs with his baby Mr.. Staley
is very reminiscent OF Fritz Emmet.
While the whole play was interesting the
great attraction wac the locomotive race in
the third act. The two engines looked for
all the world like veritsble 'steeds OF
steam" and whirled across the stage at q
surprisingly high rate of speed. When
the curtain went down on the scene it
seemed as If the applause would never

jority OF the taxpayers of the town
No sane man can make such claim.
The only way in which the majority
of the taxpayers of town or city eau
voice it's sentiment is by an election.
By ballot, and not by word of mouth
Considering this, what should be the
first step toward establishing the pub
lie water works? The accumulation
of facts and figures leading to a reliable
estimate of the cost of such works and
a special election, to give the majority
of the taxpayers an opportunity to say
whether or not they want public water
works and are willing to expend the
amount that may be decided upon for
them.
This is reasonable, just, and the only
lawful procedure.
But what is the plan proposed? To
go ahead under the $45, 900 increase Of
debt and an additional $4,000 the
borough is at liberty to extract in ac-
cordance with the right to bonded
Indebtedness equal to 2 per cent. With
| this $685. 900 the plant is to be started
and after it is spent the people will be
asked to hold special election to pro-
vide for the completion of the plant.
Why not have the special election
now? Why sink $55 900 in the works
under the color Of authority ut is Moth
/ ing more) by reason of the ten.year old
grant, and subject the people to a
thousand possibilities of bankruptcy |!
A special election would dispose of all
questions as to authority to proceed
under the election of ten years ago
and make the authorit5, clear.
The members of the Joint Committee
say they are acting under legal advice
and are advised they have the author
ity to act under the old special elec.
ton. The old water company officials
, are equally positive in their declar-
ations that, authority under that cleo
ton has lapsed. The court may de-
eide in the case being argued one
way or the other, but the Supreme
Court holds out hope to which side
may be defeated and then the pyramid
of legal fees will take shape, and where
is the $4,000, or $45,OOO fund?
1t is not necessary to have the Court
pass upon the question at all. A
special election would settle the whole
matter.
But, better still, let the new water
company enthusiasts consent to con-
ference for an amicable settlement in
writing.
That word aOriting was the rotten
apple in the barrel, we all must admit.
