There seems TO be no good reason
why the city of Scranton should pay
1870 more for it's fire alarm system
than does Wilkes Barre for the same
number Of boxes. 1t remains to be
seen whether the councils will deal in
a business like manner with the Game
well people or whether the taxpayers
will be obliged to throw away $4,000
or $4,000 after having already paid an
exorbltant sum for rent in the last
decade

If for a municipality to own its gas
plants is no more satisfactory than it
appears to be in Philadelphia, Scranton
is satisfied to farm out such an indus
try. The grand disturbance now being
made in the Quaker city may act as an
good service.

To the Editor of the Dispatch
If there is one thing in party politics
that the masses of the Democratic voters
in Virginia prize and hold above another.
il is fair play, and no people on the
earth are quicker to perceive and swlfter
to resent any violation of this just and
essential principle in party politics than
they. Ii is mistake upon the part of
the City Committee of Richmond If they
suppose that the country people In the
State are ignorant Of. or Indifferent to
the unequal conditions under which this
present contest between gubernatorial
candidates is being waged i'm your city.
Questionable methods on the part OF
friends Of candidate are not in favor
by the average countryman. and at
the proper time shall be very much
surprised If this spirit is not manifested
i'm a very decided and emphatic manner
in the contest now pending. Tyranny
and oppression. no matter where. or by
whom practiced, is ever odious to the
people of Virginia and will never fail TO
bring it's just reward in the end. Mutt
terings of discomfort and indignation
now heard here and there throughout
the State are but the faint whispcrings
of the storm that may soon sweep TO OBJ
livion the perpetrators and benefclaries
of this suicidal scheme. No candidate
(and certainly no high-minded and clean
man like Mr.. TyleO who aspires to be
Governor of this great State. can afford
TO aid or countenance such methods.
