Letter to JntIn Pyle, Esa.

: NOT state in what line he will give the sat
islaction. In my opinion he ought to de-
| fine the course to be pursued in the in
tereSt OF the economical administration Of
| the laws TO DO made in tho HcXt leglsla.
! ture, IN the interest Of our over oppressed
starving people, by taxation. Now. my
| Democratic friend John Pyle, you arc
aware that white man is very uncertain
| ana In order that we may all give you
endorsement at the polls on the 3rd of
| next November, ! consider 1t Is best for
you to give us plodge of your plighted
faith IN carrying out the reforms SO sorely
needed at the present to prevent the Op-
preston of the starving poor, whose
| gr0ans and mOans go up to heaven for
relief Tor with God there Is ulercy, and
with man there is none
Now, friend John, | want you to go be-
fore your friend, squire Kelly, and take
an oath on the five books of Moses with
your nat on and faco turned toward the
East, old Jewish fashion, and swear that
you Will vote and use your influence in
lhc senate to carry out the following re-
forms in the interest of the people, which
Will be II guarantee to the voters that you
mean business in the interest Of your
friends who sentyou 60 that high and cx-
allied position. You know, friend John,
You made great mistake in fathering
the Police Commission on our over op-
pressed taxpayers; when you got the pc
lice commission passed and created extra
uncallcd for officers, one way or another,
that have cost our city ten thousand dol.
lars extra i'll keeping up n lot of barnacles
TO be FED at the cityS crib for no Othor
purpose than to retain power, and pay our
Mayor $500 per annum for endorsing his
own check. Ycu know, friend John, we
will have to be more careful in making
the laws in the future, or our city will be
vacated These are facts worthy Of men
tion, which hope you will bear In mind.
First you will vote and work for II new
constitution giving us representation aC-
co.ding to population and do away with
the present one copied after King George
constitution Eho ruled this rs colony.
In FIG We gained our Independence. Now,
we want representation according to pop
ulation. | suppose King George and his
gang said then what is said now, we
were cranks and anarchists but he got
fooled that time and hope you will learn
IL lesson from King George, and not only
you but all the servants OF the people who
arc double the number needed and whose
salaries IN every Instance Is twice what it
ought to be, and it ought to be reduced to
what it was before the war us tho purchaS
ing power of the gold dollar to-day is 100
per cent. more than it was from 1873 10
1896. Therefore, there is no just cause for
penSioning tho servants of tho people by
paying them double salaries, especially in
these dis rcssing times. AS Burke Cochran
remarked in answer to Mr. Bryan we cam
nj be just and generous ut tho same
time.
second, we want the Board of Health
abolished as 1t is another CanCcr-pating ma
chine gotten up to make places for "A lot Of
doctors and one carpet bagger plumber
from West Virginia who for some cause
best known to himself.
1t was intimutcd at the time they had
the rupture that the druggist who suppli
ed the medicines did not equally divide
the dirry amongst them aud hence the
disruption. Your son on That occasion
succeeded Dr. Oglo and the next meeting.
your son was bounced and Oglc reiustutrd
springer hold the fort on account of his
father being in the ring with tho trustees
until he made enough off the poor house
paupCr5 to build Il villa of exquisite de-
sign on Washington street. lhis Board
of Health is II useless expenditure of
money on our tax payers, it is nothing but
Il put up job of political robbery amt is of
no manner Of use us when the Mayor is
rcinstatcd in power he can have all the
nuisanccs ubutod by his police and tho
Mayors clerk can set down all the marri
ages, births and deaths and keep a record
OF them in Il better system than they Low
have. For instance tho Liebg nuisance
this cotcrlr of doctors who represent the
Board Of Health, visited the liebig works
and gave IL as their opinion thai there did
not exist any nuisance.
Now, friend John, you know that all
fertilizers are made from decayed matter
either animal or vegetHblc-anu are mixed
with viLriol, acids, minerals and other
things to bring tho substance to It's re-
Quired strength, and i'll bringing it up to
its crop results IT. can't ha made without
that diSagrCenblc Uuur that arises from it
i'll its Manufacture and the man that says
it can is one of two things--an ignorant
person or II falsitier. Now, these doctors
must have lost their sense Of smell by
being in tho poor house SO long that they
don't know what cumposes II common
nuisance, or if they do know the managers
of this filthy place must have paid them
well for their clam-lkc decision. Now,
friend John, am no chemist, but | claim
to be common! sense man, and ! will tell
you and these college educated professors
how to abutn this nuisance not exclusively
III ;hs lirbig Company, which | find IN
looking over WebStrr's dictionary There is
no sl:rh wOrd in the English language, SO
it must be Il fraud in name us well rs in
disgusting smell, and should not be per-
nittcd to "slst in u civilized community
unless 1t abatcS the nuisance, which our
urdtnuncr requires, as follows:
A public nuisance is something that
annoys the community or public that is
noxilus or offensive and there is II fine of
five dollars for every day it cyists Its
remedy is by cremation or draft. Ono Of
The worst smell ing factories in cAistqnce
lanN, ycf 6ii,1s 1sTT1S The Works it IS not per-
ccpt!ble, WhyY Because they hayH q
chimney or stack 375 feet high All Smell
made in the works is driven to this stack
by fans and when it gets to the top ,Oi
said stack it is disseminated in the clG.
m.ptI to such an cXtont that the smell is
entirely eliminated All tho Morocco
factories ght to b. made pu! up stacks
In our city or shut them up as they are q
public nuisance. For authority give he
name Of Charles Baird as stating that he
hired Charles Agncss, a colOred man, to
clean some cess pools at Third and Tatnall
streets. llo being long time in doing it,
ho sent for him again and he told Mr..
Baird he did not care to work down in
that sinking place among those Morocco
factories. Yours, ID. LEMON.
