Great sympathy is felt for the citi-
zens Of Lyndonville in the great loss
that has befallen them. The burning
of almost the entire business portion
of their thriving village, the disrup-
ton of business and the destruction
of the homes of more than twenty
families at this season of the year is a
calamity of great proportions. Some
will be partially, perhaps well COM
pensated by insurance money, but
the most will suffer losses ranging
from large sums by some Of the
Wealthiest business men to the enJire
property of many others. While the
loss to the tenants might not amount
to a great deal in the sum total, to
them it is every thing, sweeping away
all they have in the world. Some of
them are thrown out of business by
the fire and many will be crippled for
years. Possibly in five or ten years
the street will be rebuilt, but the loss
es suffered can not be made good. 1t
is fortunate that no lives were lost
and that most of the families burned
out have friends in the vicinity to
open their doors to their reception.
Fires Of this sort, though not often SO
severe, are inevitable in every coun
try village which is unprotected by
fire fighting facilities. Many of the
business men of the place had fore
seen the misfortune liable to befall
them, but the conservative, close
pocket voters put the time off till this
unfortunate lesson comes.

as the democratic party came into
full power in all the departments of
the government, the process Of wreck
ing the treasury and paralyzing the
industries of the people began. The
new tariff has shown that under exist
ing conditions it is utterly inadequate
to produce sufficient income for the
government, and the national debt is
now 800, $50, 900. In other words, the
Cleveland Administration, besides
crushing down American Industries
and carrying restitution from the At
lantic to the Pacific, is running the
country into debt at the rate of al
most half million dollars for each
working day. 1t is no wonder that
democratic journals resort to frantic
mendacity in the effort to conceal this
appalling record.-Press

In the answer by the city, to the
suit brought by the Electric Light
and Power company of San An
tonic to restrain the city from con-
structicting its own plant, it is as
serted that the water and light
bills now consume nearly one
third Of the entire city revenue.
Statements of this kind, so far
from the actual facts, can do no
manner of good in sustaining a
case in court, because they will be
sifted to the bottom and their in
accuracy shown; but they will do
incalculable damage at home and
abroad in creating an impression
that this city is paying as alleged
SO per cent. of it's revenues for
water and lights, when in actual
figures it does not pay anything
like one half that amount. The
revenues of this city are in round
numbers half million dollars
annually, the figures being in eX-
cess rather that below this amount.
One-third of the revenues for
water and lights would call for
Sl66,666. The light bills Of the city
for October and November, 1898,
the last months settled for, were
$5,55j.75. Taking these as fair
average, the lighting of the city
would cost S33,334 annually. The
water bill for the city during the
last quarter was 1929, or $50, 100
per annum. From these figures it
would seem that the cost of light.
ing and supplying the city with
water is $G3,434, instead of $lG6,6G6
If the payments made into the city
treasury as taxes by the water anC
light companies were allowed il
Offset to the annual bill and de
Quoted from the account, the &C

1t is q poor specimen or proper
ty owner who cannot keep his
own front yard clean and his lawn
free from rubbish. The city is the
property owner of the parks and
streets and river banks. Sabe.
Time was when the river was
cleaned out at least once quarter,
but now it goes without any atten-
tion from month to month until it
is fairly choked with grass and
weeds. Clean it out.
If Jupiter Pluvius will give the
early and the latter rain to the vi
entity lying between this city and
the Rio there will be no complaint,
even if not drop falls within our

Every dollar that the city can
afford to spend on public improve

parks, streets and river. There is
great need of work in all these
directions.

The Texas Democracy thought
that last Monday was it's politi-
cal Christmas, with its party cry
of peace in the car shed and good
will in the Turner hall.
Reduced to its final analysis it
is not the protection of manufact-
urers but the protection Of their
laborers that is before the country
for solution.
1t is easier to keep the masses
contended by protecting their
labor than it is by pelting their
mobs with patling shot.

AS prophet of disaster Foster
is a greater success than as a pro-
phet of success.
The mere fact that Rosebery is
a lord does not hurt his liberalism
worth a penny.

The Congressional district that
Mr.. Breckenridge represents is as
much on trial in this case as its
representative and if it returns
him to Congress will be adjudged
paticeps criminis in his acts. A
rigid code of morals may not OBJ

ness does Populism drive its yotaries.
1t is. as the Tacoma Ledger suggests, only
few weeks ago since the Populists were
raising money and food and securing
transportation to send several hundred
Commonwealers out of the State of Wash
ington, every one of whom it was claimed
was Populist and a voter. That was
not 'disfranchising scheme'; there was
no ''hellish work" in thati 1t will occur
TO minds not unsettled by Populism that
the offer of free transportation to the
fifteen rejected strikers was an act to be
commended rather than condemned. 1t
was certainly level with the charity that
boosted The Commonwealers on their
way. But then, to think of fifteen votes
imperiling Populism in Washington It
was weakness to give the snap away, for
if these strikers do not go. it may sug-
gest to some of the political heelers of the
Democratic party. or possibly to some of
the bosses OF the Republican party, that
victory for them resides in importing
sixteen repeaters from Oregon or Cali

JUDGE BBLCHER of San Francisco said
recently in refusing an applicant for ad-
mission to citizenship:
win not admit any person to citizenship
whose knowledge of the English language is
not sufficient to warrant his being compe-
tent juror, even though he possesses the other
qualifications required by law.
The law requires that the court shall be
satisfied" of the fitness of the applicant.
This gives the court the widest latitude
possible. and while it is an excellent pro-
vision from one point of view, it is a
dangerous one from another, and an OBJ
vious one. The better plan would be to
have court officer appear for the people
in all cases Of naturalization and prose-
cute to the end that the fitness of the
alien be established clearly, or his unfit
ness made plain. a record of the case
should be kept by question and answer
also. By this means check would be
put upon the court and there would be
far less likelihood of Judge being ''satis-
fed" too easily. In the instance quoted
the court is to be commended for its Rc-
ton. In Wisconsin, however, it would
probably be held that the action of the
Judge was outrageous, since in that State
the English language is not recognized as
an essential even in the school system.

Nothing more novel than the assumption

This refers to men being held in Chi

there being anything novel in that
ruling, it is as old as the hills tina
language used calculated to provoke
breach of the peace is an offense. It il
