Kelly Says

u
IL the charter committee had the power to
elect the mayor and appoint the different
{ Ulcers of the city, town and school their
scheme for running municipal government
is perfectly proper. But with the present
system of ward caucuses and the influence
of the ward heller, that one man power is
a dapgt rous thing.
The new city charter fails to show where
il has reduced the expenses of running the
town. CITY and school and as an act of
economy it il failure. To the contrary.
1t has increased the salary of every man
connected with the new city government
from 10 to 100 per cent, and will add halt
a dozen or more new Office holders that
the people will he obliged to support as
long as they live. 1t will increase the az
penses at least $40, 600 q year and gives
such a sweeping power to the incoming
MAYOR that If hia financial abilities should
be ANYTHING like some of the mayors OF
the past the taxpayers of the city would
wish they were never born. It deprives q
man of the right to build on his own land
accordink to his own wishes; it deprives
the fireman of using his franchise as he
pleases; it deprives the right of liquor
seller to become member or the city
boards. These articles alone are un-Amer-
lean, unconstitutional and unwise. If the
common council recommend this new
charter they will regret their Judgment
when il il too late. Let rs keep away
from one man power as long as We can.

morse Doctors Himself.

A striking instance of animal instinct
or horse sense is revealed by the ac.
tions of an old horse owned by Henry
Root, a prosperous farmer of Wissa-
X Mr.. Roots horse has been trou-
bled for months with rheumatism of
the entire body, and all the treatment
of learned veterinarians failed to re-
lieve the suffering animal. One day,
upon being turned into the meadow, the
horse paved up the loose earth with his
hoof and stopped down to lick up the
earth. Almost Immediately the bene-
fetal effects were noticeable, and ever
since the rheumatic horse has taken his
daily dose of mud to the extent of
nearly a half peck per day. He is almost
entirely cured.

The city Council.

The city concil Is composed Of May
or w. H. Decker, VIM. Ziegler, H. e..
Nathan. NJ. Miller and 6. @. Sykes.
These gentlemen in the water works
investigation and election a. indeed
throughout their entire official career
have served the city inpartially and
faithfully.
They have given time and attention
to public business that rightfully be-
longed to their private business.
The editor Of the Teller in the last
issue of that paper in his unseemly
rage at the result Of the election
charges the council as a whole by
implication and two members directly
with dishonesty and criminal abuse Of
official power. They are accused Of
hiding ballots so that voters could
not easily find them. The accusation
is false in every particular. There
were ballots Of both kinds on the
table in the polling place during the
whole period the polls were open and
voters had free access to them. Be-
sides ballots Of both kinds were dis
tributed about the towr in fifteen or
twenty places. Among them We're
the following. Wright House, Post
Office, I~vey&W Stone x Hasselrs.
Gibbs q Cooley'- Ziegler's. Basford's,
Nathan's. Howell Il STAIRS. Kern's.
Pendleton's. Weber's. Greer's and the
Meyer-Showalter bank.
The election was conducted in an
entirely fair and impartial manner.
The Teller's criticism was unfair,
malicious, ~cowardly. 1t was an insult
not only to the members of the coun-
ell but to the city whose representatives,
they are.

Wankesha Despatch: Poor old An
thonv Comstock, censor of public
morals, always looking for something
to harrow his chaste soul with, is now
directing his bitterest diatribe against
the yoman on the wheel, and especi-
ally against the new costume. which
he characterizes as half mannish, half
nondesdript, wholly unwomanly. Mr..
Comstock's views on this subject will
probably not deter anyone from ~
cling. for the %concensus OF opinion
amongst the best classes of people is
that the average woman on the wheel
appears better than the average man.

Attorney General Mylrea has sign
ed the papers which release the ex-
treasurers Baetz, Kuehu, and MeFet-
ridge from further payment of inter
est money in the treasury suits.
Explaining his action Mr.. Mylrea
says:
I'm the decision of the many ques-
tions connected with these laws he
said. 1.-THE position has been one Of
much embarrassment. for the reason
that many people did not distinguish
between the duties which rested upon
me as a legal officer of the state and
my duties merely as a member and
representive Of a political party. The
duties Of the encouragement are
purely legal, and the only question
for him to consider is constitutionality
of the acts.
No matter what might be the pub
lie opinion or my own private opin-
ionu upon the merits or dement's Of the
legislation. it is not within the prov
lnce Of the Encouragement u pass
upon any question OF policy or adj
visibility In elacting any such meas
IRE. \ number OF people whose only
care was political prestige have de-
manded that the encouragement
Ought 10 submit the question OF the
question Of the validity Of these stat
uies to the supreme court. regardless
Of whether or not there were any
doubts upon the question. To have
acted in this manner would be an at
tempt TO use the power OF attorney
general in violation of his oath OF offs
&c, and unless he would conscientious
~ say he had doubts as to the valid
ity of the laws. il was his duty to
obey the Legislature. The veto pow
er, SO far as exercising the same to
defeat tho expressed will OF the Legis-
lature is concerned, is vested entirely
in the governor and was never given
to the attorney-general.n
II was hoped by many people
throughout the state that the attorney
general would refuse TO satisfy the
judgements and thus test the consti-
tntionality of the law by compelling
action Of the courts to order his sig
nature attached. But after a very
protracted delay'the~ attorney announc-
es his belief that it is his duty to
sign the documents. Perhaps Mr.,
Mylrea is right; he certainly ought
not To be expected to exercise a veto
power. But the action of the last
legislature cannot be so excused.
Both political parties were pledged
to leave the settlement OF these case :
70 the COURTS. Yet a majority Of both
parties in each house voted for these
relief bills. In the senate on the
Baetz-Kuehn bill the vote was Repub-
leans 10 for and : against and Demo-
Gratis 6 for and 5 against. In the
Assembly there were . Democrat
votes for the bill and + against II. the
Republican vote being as ayes and Il
nays.
There was not strength enou Oh in
either party alone to pass the measure
The Legislators Of both political part
les Went squarely against the wishes
OF the people and the declarations OF
party platforms. The treasury cases
were in the courts and there was nc
excuse for the Legislature to antici-
pate or interfere With the courts de-
eision

An 8 inch pipe wa to be laid from
the spring to the nter OF the city
and 8 inch pipe around a district about
8 blocks square from new school
house to first street south OF old
school house, and with four inch pipe
radiating outward from the rim as
well as toward the center. At which
meeting a resolution was adopted
emitting aportion Of the whereas, as
follows:-
And whereas it seems desirable
to this meeting that this city should
purchase said spring (Griswold) as a
source OF water supply for the city.
if it a be bought for a reasonable
sum.
Now therefore he it resolved BY the
citizens Of Lancaster now assembled
that the common council be request
ed To purchase said spring and suflici-
emit ground surrounding it for the
erection of suitable buildings for
water works and also a right Of way
from the public highway to said
spring and the right to lay pipes from
said spring under the ground through
the land OF the owner thereof with the
right OF entry at any time to relay or
repair said pipes"
And on motion the council were
ordered TO call a meeting TO vote on
the proposition to bond the city.
In obedience to that vote the City
Council expended 1884 in examining
and purchasing the Griswold spring.
On the 18th inst, the City Council
issued a circular in which thev said
in substance that if the bonds were
voted they would try and select the
most feasible %plan--the Day spring or
any other sourceof supply that might
be deemed best. Whether it will be
legal for the City Council to a%ppropri-
ate that money OF any place as the
source OF supply than the Griswold
spring has not been considered and
will not be now. / only express re-
greet that doubt should arise and the
hope hat the council will divert the
money to a feasible plan and will take
such action as will remove all doubt.
AT another meeting on the 18th inst
/ understand that it was reported
that the price Of iron had raised since
the meeting ON June 10th. That may
be true but the price Of iron pipe sub
mitted to me in the following state
ment ~ a friend OF the enterprise as
the increased price is the price ! am
informed at which pipe was sold at
the foundry ON the first day OF June
1899. The first report ON June p
gave the price Of iron at $40 per ton
whereas ii was selling ! am informed
at the foundries on June'lSt as high as
S23. The first column is the weight
of iron per foot.

In August 1894, | examined the
Griswold spring; but calculations
soon convinced me that we could not
with Il limited means construct
such a plant unless we privately
raised $4,000 or first raised the same
by t~axation-and that it would cost
annually from $500 to $500 more to
maintain the plant than it would
here,
Presuming that the water in the
town spring was pure. the question of
cost was further investigated and the
committee was confirmed in its be-
half that the plant could be put in
for about so, 600 certainly for So
much less than our constitutional
limitations that we could furnish all
the extra equipments and possibly en-
large the plant where necessary; but
the evening mail of the day on which
the nominations were made. con-
iirmed the report that the waters were
not pure, and the committee were not
prepared to submit any plan as it had
not Investigated thoroughly the reser-
voir nor deep well plan.
IL IS proposed To lay l6050 feet Of $
inch pipe weighing ~ pounds to the
foot reaching from the spring to
about the house Of Richard Never, Jr.
II will take lI450 feet To reach To the
tank. much OF il viii be under 800
feet head, some Of it under $50 feet
head and all must be in case OF fire
under very high pressure especial,
because Of the smallness OF the pipe.
Pipes are all presumed to have been
tested to stand 500 pounds of water
pressure. but sad experience has
shown in emergencies that pipes SO
marked do not ALWAYS stand the test.

viii the Conservatives Vote at
the Primary?

That's what we want to know,
Mr.. Editor, and if you cau give us
any in ormation on that line we
will thank you to do so.
We notice that the two conserv-
ative county organs.-the Edgefield
"Chronicle" and the Edgeheld
"Monitor"-both advise the con-
servatires not to have anything to
do with the approaching Primary
election for the nomination of cam
didates for election to the consti-
tutional convention. And Capt.
George Lake, Il prominent conserv-
ative, in a recent communication
to the estate" says: 'The Con-
scrvativcs here will not go into Il
primary, and the Conservative, So
called, who will consent TO be a
candidate before the primary had
Just as we'll join in With the enemy
and be done with ii. Everything
has its ending and SO will the Till
man craze in this State"
Of course we ReformerS will vote
ct the Primary and obligate our
seves % abide the result, as we al
ways do. And further, many of us
expect 10 vote for two conservative
Candidates, if the Conservatives
will 90 to the polls with us and
help elect the icket. But for them
to shout "hands of" and fold their
arms, and stand aloof, and refuse
to pledgr themselves to abide the
primary, is quite another thing.
And for them, under this condition
Of affairs, to expect the ReFormers
alone to vote for and elect two
Conservatives on their ticket,
would seem somewhat cheeky, to
say the least.
But will the Conservatives vote
at the Primary? That 5 what we
want to know.
