MR. puGGAN,s OPINION.

In an interview in last evenings
Truth. Burgess Duggau of DunmoEe
dexterously defends his right to act
simultaneously as borough attorney, or
solicitor. The ingenuity with which
he interprets the acts OF May 10. 1874
and of May %, 1898. 50 as to leave out
Of the question the improperly of such
doubls tenure does greater credit to
his skill rs legal tencer than TO his
sincerity rs reform'r 1t fairly re-
calls soma Of the remarkable eXposi
Iions Of municipal law 10 which Scrau-
tOnians were treated in certain period
now happily ended.
But if it is the intent OF tho act of
May Is 1874 to prevent a double ten
urs of borough officss-lud nobody. We
believe, disputes this-it is obviously
merely shlyty juggling with techni-
calitiss 10 argus that the borough at
torneyShip is not Il borough ot1icI, or,
as Mr. Duggan calls it. only a mythical
one, Whatever this Office may be, as
regards the wording OF this particular
statute, it is obviously very inhuen-
tisl Office in actual practice; and one
that carries with it pllpable weight in
the determination of municipal p.ocs-
dure.
Amy one with lofty spirit of fair
ness and propriety would instantly sac
the impropristy of burgess going to
bim5elf in his official capacity as a
borough attorney and asking himself
what he would advise himself to do
touching given question Of otli;ial
conduct. II for instance Mayor Con-
nell were also to srrosate to himself
the official functions OF City solicitor
TorreY. and were. as mayor. to 90 to
himself as city solicitor for an opinion
whereby to govern his course in the
mayOralty, 1t would not be one particle
more absurd than is the double bar
relied prsrogative claimed by the bur
CESS bOrough-attorney of Dunmore.
We DO not believe there is court in
Pennsylvania which would upholl Mr..
Duggan's Interpretation.

ACCORDING TO the Philadelphia Press
"the sidewalks belong to the people and
it is an infringement oftheir rights as
well as short-5igh;ed policy on the
part of the property owners themselves
to place any obstruction in the way Of
their free use" We are glad this truth
is recognized in Philadelphia, and we
hope to witness its gradual recognition

mills are opening up. The markets generally show that wool prices are already improving. The simple fact is that the interests Of the na- tive wool producer and the manu- faeturer are the same.
 If the manufacturer can get his foreign row material free, he can afford to buy and use tbe inferior home product; otherwise if the tariff be high he must shut up shop. In this difference in texture of wool, as all know, climate and other natural causes operate As the grapes on one side of a hill are ex- posed to the ripening rays of the sun more than the other, so are the feeces softer or heavier or longer or lighter, IS the wind is tempered to the lamb, or as the soil has this or that chemical quality
 There are sections where sheep raising is protitablea at low prices for wool; others where it is cheaper to buy than to raise. Let only those raise sheep who can do 50 advan- tageoasly, without bounties from the general taxpayer, and let the latter have the benefit of cheap goods.

TIE corn crop has been cut short by the drought this year. 1t amounts only to a beggarly 1900, GOO, GOO bushels, whereas it ought to be about 2,000, 000, 900 bushels. The price is therefore unusually high Possibly some may not be aware of the fact that this country not only produces nearly all the corn or maize raised in the world, but that it consumes the most of it. In Euro oe, Asia, Africa and Australia the people know very little of Indian maize as a food It should be q staple article at every foreign table, just as 1t is in this country, and Col. Murphy has undertaken q great work in behalf of the American farmer in his endeavor to influence the people across the water to eat corn bread If this could be done, the present corn area of the United States wold not be nearly sufficient to meet the demand. The value of an average corn crop of the United States is about S1 900, 000 GOO, but it would be far greater if the food were consumed abroad as it is here.

IF the predictions of the cotton planters come true that in con sequence of the denial of bounty on sugar the making of that commodity will not pay in Louisiana, the sup posed calamity may be a blessing m disguise. Already the planters al q owners of sugar mills are looking to the introduction of the tenant sys- tenn, for the division of the lands into small belongings, the product to be handled by capitalists and manufactured and marketed by them. Another scheme is to turn the sugar lands into farms for rais- ing vegetables and encourage i'm migration from the agricultural sections of the West. Certainly it may be said, without unkindness, that if the infant industry Of sugar making in Louisiana cannot enter a fair field of competition, but must depend on the help of the rest of the country, it should give way to self-supporting methods.
