A Convincing Argument

According to the Chronicle Of Inger-
be, William the Conqueror conducted
his wooing in characteristically bar
barrie manner. We are gravely told
that he met Mathilda in the streets OF
Bruges as she was returning from
mass. He seized her, struck her sew
eral times with his fist. rolled her IN
the dirt, thereby 'spoiling her rich ar
ray" then rode off at full speed. Con-
vinced of the intensity Of his ardor,
Mathilda subsequently consented to
marry him.

JOY ARRESTED.

Charged wtsi, Improper Relations With
his Sister-In-LaH-
Frederick Joy, of Rea's Run, was ar
rested by Sheriff McCallister and pgaced
in the county Jail Saturday to await
trialoa the grave charge of incest. Joy's
arrest grows out of a paternity charge
made against him some time ago by
his sister-in-law, Nancy Ann Lee.
When the case came to trial before the
Justice the woman changed her mind
and testified that Joy was not the
father of her child, This led to her
arrest and indictment ON the charge of
perjury and she is also in jail awaiting
trial.
After the trial of the bastardy case
the woman again changed her mind
and stated tkat Joy was ia reality the
guilty man, notwithstanding her pre-
vious testimony to the contrary. Joy
was thereupon indicted for incest and
will be tried at the present term of
Court.
We are infOnmed that he has already
served eight years in the penitentiary
for killing man in fight.

Dealh of Lemuel Amermau.

The sense of shock experienced by
this community upon receipt of knowl-
edge of the sudden death at Blossburg
yesterday of ex-Congressman Lemuel
Amerman is not descriLable. Of all
men this sturdy. progressive and gift
ed citizen was the last whom proph-
ecy would have selected for such a
summons. 1t is difficult even yet to
adjust the mind to a contemplation
of his singularly energetic and useful
career as one which has reached it's
end.
Concerning the characteristics of Mr..
Amerman as revealed in the intimacies
of private life we lack the immediate
knowledge requisite to testify with
weight; and yet the unaffected grief
which his demise brings to those with
in this narrower circle of his acquaint-
ance supplies most eloquent evidence of
his personal worth. But regarding Mr.
Amerman's identification with the pub
lie life of his town and time we can
with heartiest commendation recall his
breadth of mind, his earnestness for
wise progress, his integrity and his
courage. In activities looking to the
public welfare he was not ostentatious
but he was always to be counted upon.
In short, solid citizen he was, with
mind directed to practical results
sagacious, clear-sighted and with a
will which, when fixed, did not easily
yield; in works of benevolence, gener-
Gus but modest; in all things thorough,
self-possessed and true to conscience.
The record of his work in public sta
tion supplies its own best commentary.
Here, as elsewhere, we see revealed d
high purpose and effective achieve
ment. But for the eXactions of politics
as disclosed to men in official position
Mr.. Amerman had small inclination
and 1t was with feeling of relief that
at the expiration of his membership
in the Fifty-second congress he re-
sumed the more tranquil pursuits of
private life. In these he had laid the
foundations of a broad success and
was just entering upon the realization
of his ampler plans and hopes when
the end came. Thsre can be no doubt

MUNICIPAL SOCIALISM.
From the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post.
At the convention of mayors and coun-
cilmen at Columbus, Ohio, last week,
Mayor f. B. Doran, of st. Paul, said that
he would heartily sanction municipal own
ership Of street cars, gas and water works
'if We could be sure that under city
control they would be conducted on purely
business principles" but that he had
seen employees of the city and those or
private companies working side by side
in the streets often, and noted that the
employees of the company always accom-
plshed more than those of the city do
O.
His horor of st. Paul might have added
that the cost of work performed by mu-
inequalities is greatly enhanced by vari-
Gus circumstances other than that which
he mentioned. Not only do the employees
of q government-of a city, state. or ma
tion-do less work, as a rule, than per-
sons In corporation or private employ
ment. but there is a large additional ex-
penditure for superintendence and cleri-
cal work. Foremen and assistant fore
men are appointed merely to furnish good
places for friends. Chief clerks, assistant
chiefs, and timekeepers in large numbers
are provided with salaries. 1t often hap
pens that the pay roll calls for more
money for these positions than for all
the real workers. There are few govern
the nation down through the states to
the small cities. that do rot pile UP eX-
penses in this way. 1t is true that many
excellent citizens are helped along
through life by this generous manage
ment of public affairs, but that fact Is,
nevertheless, a strong argument against
municipal ownership of public works.
q
But we should not include a city's sup
ply of water in the list of things to be
excluded from municipal control. Water
Is as necessary as air, and its relation TO
the health of community necessitates
it's ownership and management by the
Offices of cities. We hope the time VIII
come when an ample supiy of pure water
will be furnished free to every home in all
our cities, the cost being betrayed by
general taxation, the same as that Oh the
fire and police der artments.
%
There are in our opinion, insurmounta-
BILE objections to municipal control OF
TRANSFORMATION and similar matters. Even
II a city could successfully manage such
affairs, II would stil be best to avoid
doing so. Corporations to be compelled
to serve the public with fidelity. Munich
pal ownership is a step toward the great
socialstic scheme of rational ownership
The goal at which it's advocates aim Is
the abolition of the individual, his merg-
ing in the state, the abolition of COM
petition by public ownership and control
of al industries. The mayor of st. Pau
mentions but one, and that a minor rea-
son, for his opposition to scheme thai
is being pushed with unlagging zeal, but
happily, with little progress.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1897-10-08

A peculiar situation is presented In
Ripley county. Indiana. where the
quintuple lynching of the Levi gang
of thieves recently took place. The
Ripley county grand jury has ad-
journed after declining to return in
dictments against number of citizens
clearly shown to have had hand in
the lynching. The grand jury's excuse
is that an indictment would simply in
volve the county in needless expense,
inasmuch as the conviction of the men
was an lmpossibllity. OF course this
excuse Is utterly untenable. but the
making of it clearly shows that the
jury did not want to do its duty, not
~ithstanding the fact that the COVER
nor offered to protect its members by
means Of company of militia If they
so desired. Unless the local authorities
will act the governor is powerless and
mob law stands unrebuked. 1t is not
a pleasing prospect to those who value
law and order.

assures the commission that the sensa-
tion OF such trip would be worthy OF
the year 1900 Another maker OF pro-
jects recommends a giant depot in the
shape of a locomotive from which trains
would go to the various sections OF the
exposition, each train emanating smoke
of the colors OF the various nationalities.
There is no lack of elevated roads from
which bird's-eye views OF the exposition
may be had, and there Is also canal In
the height of 800 feet surrounding the
entire exposition. Then there is the
scheme of connecting the Einel tower
with the highest Partisan structures by
means of wire ropes on which passengers
could be transported in hanging baskets.
Schemes for theaters are SO numerous
that they would crowd the entire ex-
position ground to the exclusion OF ev-
erything else. So far only two have been
recommended. n marionette and shadow
theater. Offered are also a "bewitched'
house, n glass palace, an old Egyptian
city with representation OF Antony ana
Cleopatra, a Swiss village and collec-
ton of discoveries by means OF Roentgen
rays.
