The Bridges DELAYED.


II is encouraging to learn, upon
liberal calculation. that Scrantonians,
ere much more than year has passed,
will probably be enabled to walk from
Linden to SHETLAND street without
wetting their feet To be sure, this
prospect is six months further off than
most people had been led to expect;
and easily three months more remote
than there would have been any nsces.
sity for, had the original will of the
voters been accepted gracefully
and promptly by all interested.
There should have been no aim
less obfuscation Of the bridge
enterprise in the form Of belated ef'
fort to achieve a change in site. That
point. if pertinent at all, should have
been raised prior to the special election.
Now that it mas petered out, the ener-
gies.of all who really favor the bridges
should be directed to furthering the
preliminary WORK just as rapidly as is
consistent with safe and prudent prog
ress.
The delay that has marked this move.
ment is the fault of nobody but the peo'
pie themselves. 1t is not the fault Of
the city engineers department, which,
with small force fully occupied with
regular work, has nevertheless made
valiant inroads on the bridges. But
even as the case stands. after several
weeks frittered away in futile sea-saw-
ing over site, tits possible toexperience
additional delay unless the taxpayers
of Scranton eyince an active interest
in this matter, and intimate to members
of councils u more vigorous desire to
see something tangible accomplished
in the direction of real bridges. The
thing to do is to buckle on the har-
ness and pull ahead. Indifference
is as hurtful as open opposition.
In this particular instance it is
even more so. There will, we are con-
tident, be no disposition in councils to
shirk this duty if the members are led
to believe that the citizens of Scranton
are keeping close watch upon the sue.
cessive steps that lead toward actual
results.
The bridges must be speeded. The
delay already experienced has been
anything but creditsbls. From this
time forth let each citizen see to II
that the enterprise is moved steadily
ahead.

their origin in desire to extort hush

CHURCH IN SOUTH AFRICA.

Tho Soldiers Hate ro Turn Out for tho
Parade.
On q recent Sunday there was
church parade ut which the bishop of
Mnshonaland ofiiciated. Church pa
radcs are not, and never will be, popular.
There appears to be a prejudice in
grained into the troopers nature
against the institution, and there is
some truth in the saying that the af-
fair is the cause Of more blasphemy
than devotion.
Fall in there for church parade" is
first heard, and then n subdued buzz
runs along the lines, which, if at
tentively analysed, results in being
found to be a coaglomcration of such
expressions Us "Where the deuce is
my bayonet bclt?" Course these spurs,
they won't fit" and then there is the
long, continuous growl of q string Of
oaths from the man who is looking
apoplcctic in a struggle to get on a
poir Of top boots. don't mean by the
foregoing that men dislike church.
Far from it; but they hate the forlnali-
ty which is gone through most heartily.
In the evening there was n voluntary
service in ono of the improvised tents
which was well attended, although
ones gravity was sorcly tried when
the bishop, whose discourse was rem
dercd almost inaudible by the chatter
of plates made by IN enterprising
coolie cook in the near vicinity, sug-
gested that some one should
Tell the gentleman washing the
plates and things that little less noiso
would be more edifying."- Diamond
