At Last.

The only proper objection to the
proposed new bridge across the Poto-
mac is-that the county is not able to
build it.
With previous corresponding gener-
ally and an extra-costly courthouse
on hand, the apostles of high taxes
have had to call halt on themselves.
They did not cross the bridge this time
before they got to 1.-THE proposed
Drudge across the Potomac.

The negative reason not assigned

The Eckhart friend of mine who called
their reporter "mouse-colored ass is clever

alluded to is indebted to Keno for

"John Simon, M. D., F. R. C. S.,
chief Medical Officer of the Privy
Council and of the Local Government
Board of Great Britain" presents in
his work entitled Filth Diseases and
their Prevention" the following alter
natives:
1, Whether in particular cases populations
may be so circumstanced that they cannot
refrain from polluting streams, is a question
which would in each separate case have to be
judged on its own merits; only, if they must
polute the water, let the acater be frankly rec
ognized as unclean.
2, Thus, regarding rivers as sources of
drinking water, one of two positions ought,
submit, to be consistently aimed at-either
that, being a necessary source of domestic
water supply, the rioer shall be absolutely pro-
tected against pollution; or else that, being in
whatever degree used as sewer. 1t should be
classed as unfit to supply drinking ,cater.
Addressed to the people of Cumber-
land, this means-be honest with
yourselves concerning that river water ;
give yourselves the benefit of all
doubt of its purity, and go down deep
in your pockets for the money to obtain
deem mountain water

The republicans of AllegaHy county do not
need the aid of the superior wisdom of demo-
cratic officials in the conduct of financial
affairs. We have tried that often in the
affairs of Cum berand, and in 1887 we tried
it in the county affairs. That trial of two
years of democratic rule under a Reform
Board, resulted in career of extravaganza
unequalled in the history of the county, and
left US legacy of floating debt from which
we have not yet fully recovered.-Cumber-
land NewS.
Perhaps the "affairs of Cumberland"
under democratic rule have suffered
like county affairs" in ISIS, when
80 per cent. of the "eXtravagance" was
conceived, promoted and forced on the
Reform Board by Cumberland republi-
can delegations.
Take, for instance, the bridge at the
Narrows pulp mill, that had to be built
before the mill was erected, in orler
that 1t might comply with the demands
of the dictators-a bridge, too, Of not
half the value to the communities in
terested as the one proposed at Pied
mont would be.
Hence. people, whether your County
Commissioners be republicans or dem
ocrats, what you most want upon that
bench is MEN!-not only men of
known intelligence, prudence and i'm
partially, but men of unbendable and
unbreakable b CKBONE!-men who
are morally and invincibly proof alike
against Cumberland Establishment and
Cumberland intimidation.
If you haye such among you, they
are worthy of your choice, and they
owe it to you to respond to your call
with the best service they can render.

world may not know the beauty of her homelife-
her kingdom of motherly and wifely devotion
but her labors for her church and in the cause of
the suffering and unfortunate, and for all local
charities remain as monument to her memory.
In what stands for the best interests of a commu
nifty she was strongly identified. Local temper
ance organizations especially, found in her a
stanch and loyal champion, who always kept the
bright side out in the face of all discouragements
She was eminently fitted by her womanly gra-
ciousness and ready tact TO be leader, which
she was in all good works, and leaves behind a
memory fragrant with good deeds. The flu neral
was held at Emmanuel church on Monday after.
noon, Rev. Mr.. Sanford officiating, and the burial
