EDITOR HERALD lit seems strange chat
men of ordinary knowledge should possess
so little tact, to s.y ,he least, as to deprive
your reporter Io.A utSiug notes at its sessions.
What does it really mean? Are they afraid
/ to let their constituents know what actually
transpres at their meetings? Must citizens
who have a right 20 now what takes place
be required to buttonlulo couneihnen on the
street TO learn what u.tiuu WAS had Aud
that, too with a knowledge shat suly such
information will he given as salts the pBr-
pose of the indiVidug councilman RterlO-
gated.
As an instance, how many people in tswH
know how much has been expended Oh the
new water works, for what purpose, by whom
paid, and to whom paid? DO all Of the
eouncilmen themselves know? Is that
knowledge confined TO the water osAnittee
and its friends7 1t would hs an utter i'm
possibility for all citizens to attend the
meetings Of Council, and the evening after
the meetings Of Council the HHEALD is
eagerly sought to learn the action Of Council,
or possibly to learn what new deviltry they
are up to, or else--oh horrors we are COM
PEELED to invest a N tdc in the Sunday Nery
and thus be feasted with the wonderful in
telligsnGe that Sarah p O. Of Dark Corner
has a mash in q. p. s., aud other like de-
lectable information lo prepare our minds fer
the proper Observance of the Sabbath and
the worship Of G. d. OR worse, still far
worse, by Sissy Wills POtsviue cyclone,
which informs US only what the pure hA-
macHate Archie desires shall ss Y0uch-
safed TO us, the CON anon herd.
What person of u.l IN town for moment
believes that the Do,la brothers, honest as
We believe they are, would quietly sit dewa
and have nothing 10 s;,v about the actions II
Council, only that juyir old pig has bees
well creased on tie rump?"
What have the Council done for the public
good during the pat year? They havo ex-
pended $4,000, or thcrcabouts, Of the bor-
oughs money they have repaired three 81
four squares fairly well; they have left Us .
fair-sized ditch from Coal TO Cherry streets
they have granted orders to themselves for
labor and other pugpJses, which by the way
the lawyers say are Illegal suggest that &
would be eminen " proper Tor she bUrough
auditors TO inquil into their legality ana if
found wrong sure 1arge the individuals there
with-they have The poor, desplsed stone
crHsher left alone in all its glory; they have
an exceedingly pretty ire alarm, whiuA
don't alarm worth shucks, except when it
pleases; they have number OF suits for
damages on Their hands; and lastly, but by
no means least, they have three able bodied
attorneys to provide for
am a Rcpubli AN and do not believe in
lying down with sin to better become IN
angel. Not so however with Dir. Lamb. He,
with comfortable Republican majority Mt
his back, seeks 50 it said the help Of the
u wiley Democrats under the tutOrship and
mschination Of Pompadour jim No. 2. Was

have heard it charged and nevor denied
that de s" were sworn to d certain line Of
action.
l ought to qualify the above by saying the
. report is that Mir. Stout was not sworn.
Were they raid to trust themselves
Is Mr.. Stout tAo only honest man among
them2
If it be true that Mr.. Stout was not sworn
the natural inference is that they all are
s what each thought Of the other.
Y see Mr.. james is candidate for re-
c election as CiJilen of the Third ward.
So is Reilly ON The Democratic ticket Of
the same war;.
Is the bargain made to withdraw Reilly ia
case of Jamca nomination; and in case OF
. James defeat is he and Archie to turn in for

~ either, brother n-aw jim could continue to

50 per ton and is likely to 80 higher and
that he erptriei 10 sled the pipss along th,
Ink instead of drjirering By loag,n.
