playing for the American League trophy

lowed. and the results were better There
are still those in the club who pin their

proposed match.

fraud on the Taxpayers and a mis-
application OF the sewer fund
voted by them.
In July, 1894, the council passed
a resolution to the effect that it
was willing for the citizens to ap-
point committee OF fifty citizens
to inspect the sewer work, con-
jointly with the city authorities,
and this resolution was the chief
inducement with the taxpayers for
voting for sewer bonds.
Why not select this committee
of fifty "good and true men" to see
If there be "bug under the chip?n
The people want the worth OF their
money and are in no humor to put
up with jobbery and juggIery.
Whereabouts is the sewer fund?
In whose custody and charge is it?
How much of the fund is now on
hand? The people have a right to
be fully informed about these mat
ters, and the sooner such informa-
ton is vouchsafed to them, the bet
ter will it be for all hands.
The city authorizes should feel
it to be a bounden duty to be in
touch with the people and to give
the people full information con-
corning the affairs of the city and
the expenditure of the city funds.

CONTRIBUTED SCRAPS.

A resort to lynch law is
stoned by the popular distrust
the delays and uncertainties OF
judicial proceedings.
Continuances OF criminal cases
are too much the order OF the day.
The state should always be ready
for trial, and always would be,
were the district attorneys as uili-
gent as they should be. The con-
stitution gives every person the
right to speedy trial"
Engineer Gray appears to have
hypnotized the council. He re-
fused to be investigated the other
day-refused to have an article
published in the LIGHT of the 10Th
inst. read in his hearing, dictated
the wording Of the oath to be
administered to him and mounted
on the stills Of his dignity.
The article published in the
LIGHT contained grave and specific
charges against Mr.. Gray and the
council should have required him
to disprove them, or else to "step
down and out" Mr.. Gray acted
in his own light by envelopihg
himself in his robe OF unapproach-
able dignity and loneliness, instead
OF demanding a thorough investi.
cation of the truth OF the charges
made by Mr.. Peters.
The public expected and desired
full and public investigation Of
those charges, and was surprised
and disappointed at the meekness
with which the council allowed
Mr.. Gray to mount his "high
horse" and dictate to it. II it was
not dictation, what was it?
Mr.. Gray is in the employment
of the city, and is getting the big.
gest sort Of salary, yet he will not
suffer specific charges, publicly
made, to be so much as read in his
hearing, or the words "investiga-
ton" and investigated" to be used
in the oath administered to him.
And the council, or the committee
OF aldermen, very meekly let him
have his way in the matter.
There is no proof that Mr.. Gray
is infallible in sewer construction.
Why then should he be above in
vestigstion, or why should he lord
it over the city authorities? The
people are fast becoming suspicious
about the sewer business, and
nothing but the most searching
investigation will remove this sus-
picion from their minds.
II the city engineer be really in
competent for the task OF superin-
tending the sewer work, tender
ness toward him should induce
the council to leave him in charge
OF the work; but it should employ
q competent person to oversee the
work. To make a botch OF the
sewer work would be a downright
