Oh, how he values time.

And then he poin's with honest pride
To the range that bears his name.

Gov. Brown Again at Fault.

AT last the long disputed issues
between the State and the Mason

the penitentiary, are in fair way
for a settlement. The Mason &
Foard Co., if Commissioner
Posey's findings be sustained by
Judge Cantrill, to whom he made
his report Wednesday, will not only
defeat the State, but turn the table
and show that the State is owing
SI2, 524 to the company.
1t will be recalled that it was
in regard to the accounts of the
prison lessees about which Gov.
Brown and Secretary Headley dis
agreed with the majority of the
Sinking Fund Commissioners, the
former holding that the company
owed the State 500, 900 aud the
latter that a fair adjustment of the
accounts would about strike a
balance. At the last term Of the
court Judge Cantrill, on a mere
statement of the case, set aside
about $4,000 of the amount
which the Governor insisted was
due the State for the pay Of

The Other Side OF the Question.

To the Editor of The Evening star.
The all-sbsorbing local question of the day
seems to be the ice question. The press has
ventilated only one side of it. In April Of last
year the icemen appealed to the people Of our
city to allow them one days rest in seven 1t
was granted. The summer passed and il there
was a complaint i never heard of 1t and / read
the papers daily. This year the papers started
the agitation. knowing that if it was possible TO
put the question to the people the majority
and, the large majority, too, would say mo ice
delivered on Sunday.
Now il is understood that the medical COM
bine proposes to take some action on the sun
day ice question from a sanitary point of view.
Let these gentlemen bear in mind that the Ice
men are all citizens and have the good OF the
people at heart. and in case of epidemic would
make any sacrifice In their power, day or night,
for the relief of the city.
Let each and every citizen do his duty to put
our beautiful city in q clean. healthy condition.
and then If epidemic comes. rest assured that
the icemen with the doctors will be found at
their posts Of duty. There is no need for the
Sunday icewagon in Philadelphia. Baltimore
Washington or elsewhere. Let the poor iceman
and his horse have that day wherein to rest
from their SIX long days of sixteen hours each.
II neither the iceman nor mis- horse has rights
worthy of consideration we don't want the ice
wagon nuisance on our streets on Sunday.
