WHO'S WHO?

There seems to be something wrong
somewhere between the Mayor and the
police officials. Soms time ago Mayor
Brown suspended sergt. Nickerson for
releasing prisoners who had not been be-
fore the court. There was an investiga.
tion and the Board found that the vio-
istions OF duty were the result OF "fol.
lowing up an old custom that has grown
ND in this city," Then the Board re.
solved that ain the future the Board will
require the police force of this city to per-
form their duties strictly according to
law, without any interference by
Judge, Clerk or any other
party not authorized to do So.
The sergeant was restored to duty and a
copy OF the resolution, or the substance
OF 1t. was posted at police headquarters
This occurred Monday OF this week.
Last night at the meeting Of the Board of
Aldermen Mayor Brown said that the
order was violated on Tuesday, the day
after 1t was posted.

THE LIGHTING CONTRACT.

The lighting proposition which was
rushed through the Council and then
through the Board OF Aldermen is much
of surprise for 1t increases the cost Of
city lighting instead OF making 1t cheaper.
So far as sound business sense goes, the
contract ought not to be entered upon.
II has been demonstrated again and again
that the cost of lighting is far cheaper and
can be furnished at a less cost than the
local company proposes. Why, then, in
crease the price? Does the Gas Com
pany own the city fathers, that they are
willing to enter upon new contract at
this outrageous increase that is proposedH
We trust the Mayor will find sufficient
courage to veto the measure, and II he
does, every honest, thinking inhabitant
of the city will thank him for it. No
wonder there is a cry for more money and
increased taxation, II such contracts as
this are to be made. We presume 1t was
for the purpose OF paying the Gas Com
pany more money that the tax rate was
raised the other day.

State, the Mayor OF the town and a num-
ber of city official strung out In process
sion of open carriages, with a brass band
at the head playing "slide, Kelly, slide"
"When Casey's at the Bait" and other
National airs. 1t was a gala occasion.
Public business was neglected for several

Monday the Massachusetts, Legislature,
with frightful pressure OF important

that the lawmakers might attend the

extra fastidious legislators wanted to re.
main at their desks and keep on making

much for the others, so the body ad.
journed, and the Legislature saw the gam,
and helped to fill the grand stand with
