How the People Look at it,
Editor Columbian &:

Editor Columbian
Little did / think that the Sentinel
would futter over the article in the
COLUMBIAN over the signature of
"Justice," in the issue of July 26.
My subscription to the Sentinel
dates back to the time it was rocked
in the cradle. l have no quarrel with
the Sentinel, l care not what 1t
prints about any individual, or official,
neither am l confused" But l
take the liberty to think and believe
as my better judgment and sense OF
duty teach me about the charges the
Sentinel prefers against our public
officials. The Sentinel runs all risks
of libelous prosecutions in assaulting
public officials, or in otner words, for
misrepresenting the public acts OF our
public officials, and hence l have
nothing at stake, in these seemingly
unwarranted charges against public
officials l am only impressed by the
SentiaeES criticisms of public officials
thus far. If the Sentinel prints moth
ing but the naked truth without pre-
varication or color in reference to
those officials, and from which those
officials could not escape by judicial
investigation, there are better men IN
the penitentiary than those assalled
officials. And believe that the peo
pie are rapidly coming to the same
conclusion.
Personally, l have nothing against
any official in the county. They are
all courteous, affable and oblglng
But if the accusations Of the SentIae
are true in letter and in fact, those
officials are not fit to hold public posi-
tons, but should be impeached, triee
and punished for criminal mlsde
meapor in office. The Sentinel say
of an official, His official acts ar
public property" But no one ha
any right to deface, or injure publi
property, any more than he has
right to injure private property.
am only looking on, and either tn
Sentinel, or those assailed officials
will. in the near future, get into
hole. I will take up no defense &c
, any official when | do not personall
| know whether charges preterre
! against him are really false or not
, But this much we can guarantee
/ The situation is exceedingly interes
ting,
JUSTICE.

COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.

A special meeting of Town Council
was held on Friday evening, The
matter especially to be considered
was presented by J. K. Geringer and
R. S. zimmerman Of Danvllle who
asked for the right to use certain
streets in the town for an electric
railway, from Danville to Bloomsbury.
1t was referred to a committee con.
sisting of Corey, Lockard and
Wilson.
S. Wigtall called attention to the
Welsbach light for street lighting, but
no action was taken.

Bloomsburg processes to be a moral

Bloomsburg processes to be moral
town. We fine Cinnamon for work
ing on Sunday, and We try to prevent
the sale of cigars and soda-water on
that day. We enforce the ordinance
prohibiting bicycles from using the
sidewalks, by one arrest and fine.
But there is a matter far more i'm
moral than working or selling goods
on Sunday, and far more ofa nuisance
than riding bicycle on the pavement,
that is permitted to 60 on without
notice from the authorities. 1t is
known to the police, for they have
been told of it over and over again
We refer to the conduct of certain
gangs OF young men on the street
corners, and especially on Market
street at night. They gather in groups
trespass on private property, indulge
in language obscene and profane
make insulting remarks in the hearing
of women passing by, or they wall
along the street and talk loud an(
indecently as they pass residences
wEere ladies are sitting on the porches
Occasionally they meet some girls WHIT
are as bad as the boys, and then the
conduct is disgraceful and indecent
and the talk worst. People who pa
taxes have right to be protected
but they can't get it when such thing
are permitted to go on under the yer.
eyes and ears of policemen. There
a movement on foot among the resi-
dents of one section to organize, an
make some arrests as an example
unless this nuisance is abated

Before the summer is over some
steps will have to be taken by the
Town authorities to regulate the curb
stone market on Main street. Thee
days in the week the market is largely
attended by farmers, hucksters and
truck dealers, and it is convenience
for the public to have the market,
but there are few people who are
more or less annoyed by it, and those
are the business men in front of whose
places the market is located. They
complain of the dirt that is left in the
gutter and on the side walk after
market is over, and unless something
is done to avoid the nuisance, it is
likely that there will be some con-
certed action by those who are affect
ed. The town should arrange in some
way to have the street and walk clean
ed up each market day, either by com
pelling every dealer to clean up the
spot occupied by him, or by charging
a nominal sum to each one, to pay
for having it cleaned,

Article g. The sublime porte, having ex-
pressed its willingness to maintain the
principle of religious liberty, and give II
the widest sphere, the contracting parties
take cognizance Of this spontaneous dec
laration. In every part OF the Ottoman
empire differences OF religion should not

or Asiatic Turkey shall enjoy the same

The obligation TO see TO the enforcement
of these terms devolves chiefly upon Great
Britain. which is responsible for taking
the duty off the shoulders Of Russia by
the abrogation of the treaty of San Ste
fano.

rnarck was president, and Beaconshelf.

THE SCHOOL ELECTION.

The approaching school election is al
ready awakening great interest among
the people OF the Seattle district, and,
from the fact that school matters have
been discussed the past year moro than
ever before. there is promise Of great at
tention being paid to the selection Of d.
rectors who will be well qualified TO serve
and who can make the work OF the school
board harmonious. efficient and general
~ satisfactory.
A number OF communications were pub
Iishsd yesterday. all OF which contained
suggestions which warrant being careful
Is considered. II is well for candidates
TO appreciate that TO perform the duties
OF the Office VIII require much thought,
time and patient attention. 1t is general
u known that difficulties have been en-
countered in the past. and those who seek
preferment now should carefully investi-
gate what Will be required and expected
OF them and not blindly seek an office tho

congenial and therefore viii be unsatis-
faotorily performed.
II would be well to make a careful
study OF school management in the past.
and ascertain with some defniteness what
will be undertaken in the future. Vexed
questions will arise and should be settled
promptly. The troubles OF the old board
furnish abundant proof OF what the re-
suit Is OF disorE aniza,ion. discord and
cross-purpose work. ana the various can

One of Washington's foremost and
brightest minds went from the earth on
Sunday In the death OF Elisha P. Ferry
the state has lost one of her strongest
public men. There was the spirit of the
"old time" about him, which, mingled
with the new, made him a very popular

OF high aims and good principles. and for
the seventy years he spent on the earth
the world is all the better. Peace to him.
His worth will be remembered: he will be
missed.
