REPAIR1Ne CouNrY BRIDGES.

REPAIRING COUNTY BRIDGES.
In last weeks PRESS an abstract
from the opinion of Judge Dean of
the Supreme Court, was given as to
the liability for repairs to county
bridges and approaches. The de-
cision placed the responsibility on
the County Commissioners, under
the acts there quoted, Pike. with
several other counties, is under the
act of 1860 known as the Washing
ington County Act, Section 6 of
which provides as follows; 1t
shall be the duty of the supervisors
of the several townships, and the
street commissioners, or other per-
sons having charge of the highways
in incorporated boroughs, to keep
in repair all bridges built, or that
may hereafter be built by the Coun-
ty Commissioners at the charge of
the county and they shall be sub
iect to the like penalties for neglect
as they are now liable to in the case
of roads and bridges built at the ex-
pense of the township or borough" p"
Under this act it would seem that
if supervisors of a township, or a
street commissioner in a borough,
neglected to make the necessary re-
pairs to county bridge they or he
would be liable to indictment for
neglect of duty, but the question
still arises in our mind under the de
cision of Judge Dean as to which,
the township or the county. would
beliable for damages arising through
the neglect to keep the approaches
or the bridge in proper repair. Ger
tainly the supervisor should be
prompt in making repairs that he
may not be liable, and inasmuch as
the county must pay the bill for so
doing he should suffer no delay in
the matter and so jeopardize the in
terests of either municipality.

Sherman Under fIte.

General Sherman and General
Thomas were warm and intimate
friends. In their familiar inter-
course they were to each other usu-
ally Bill and Tom, after the free and
easy fashion of school boys rather
than like dignified and austere war
riors.
Near Resaca, during sharp action
General Sherman went upon a rail
way embankment directly in the
line of fire and stood carelessly amid
the flying bullets making his obser-
vations and giving his orders.
Turning he saw the head and
shoulders of the portly and magni-
ficently proportioned Thomas ap-
pearing above the railway earth
work. Sherman, always careful for
his friends rather than for himself,
called out:
"Pretty hot up here, Tom. Bet
ter not come up"
"What are you doing there your
self, then?" answered Thomas.
ooh, I just turn edgeways to ,em, "
said the tall, attenuated commander
with a grin, as he resumed his duties.

Now the Democrats of this Con-
gressional district will wrangle over
the representation in convention,
and the county rotation for candi-
dates to Congress. Possibly some
one of the lamb counties will lie
down with the lion Northampton,
in side of her of course, and that
will settle the hash, so far as the
two questions go, but it may not
settle the third as to the certainty
of election. We await develop
ments, and incidentally, harmony
with unrufled patience.

OUR LEGISLATURE.

Five months have now elapsed
since our law makers began their
incubations, and they are apparent
ly only at the beginning of their
work. Certain reforms were
promised, and were among the is
sues upon which they were elected,
but these have been neglected or re-
fused Some of these were law to
provide interest on State moneys in
banks, a reappointment of the Re
preventative, Senatorial and Con-
gressional districts, and some
changes in the ballot law. In all
these the people are disappointed in
either their non action on or defeat
of the measures. The Legislature
seems to be devoting its whole time
to finding out some new methods of
taxing the people to raise revenue.
1t never for a moment considers a
proposition to cut down expendi-
lures, and even goes so far as to
threaten to pass over the Governors
veto measures to which he objects
On the ground of expense, and be-
cause there is likely to be a deficit.
There is too much of politics in the
whole business, and not enough of
real consideration for the interests
of the tax payers, who should and
may have determined voice in the
matter later on. The state does not
belong to any one man or set of
men. The people pay the bills and
their rights should be respected and
cared for.

APPROACHES TO BRIDGES.

What are the approaches which
would be included in the above de-
cision might seem a debatable mat
ter, and the rather elastic term ap-
proach might seem to some suffici-
ent to cover the distance on eithor
side of the bridge, if the approaches
so called, are embankments or arti-
fetal constructions leading up to the
bridge. If this view is taken the
township might relieve itself of con-
siderable expense, and impose a
larger burden on the county. 1t
seems fair construction Of the
word to include only 50 much as
may be within the wing walls of the
bridge, that is the walls or what
ever may be used at the immediate
ends of the bridge TO retain the road
way so as to enable the public tc
pass on the bridge, and not to en-
brace what is more properly the
Pike County press. (Milford, Pa.) 1895-1925, 1897-06-04

roadway, although in one sense an
approach. This might vary in
length from a few to several hun
dred feet, but we think an approach
proper would be the immediate adj
junct contained within the wing walls
which are in most cases necessary
to the use of the bridge. 1t might
at times be a difficult question to de-
eide, but no such technicality should
create any laxity on the part of the
officers in making a necessary re-
pair.

OUR two commissioners, Newman
and Heller, in conjunction with
Reinhart and Hartman of Monroe,
deserve the commendation of the
public for adhering to the idea of
securing the best bridge for the
least money. That seems to have
been the result of the meeting in
Monroe last week, to settle the
Bushkill bridge matter, and we con.
gratulate the taxpayers on the out
come.

Listers and the Great Eastern Fer
tilizers at w. e. G.. Mitchell's.


A metropolitan newspaper con-
tains the surprising statement that
the ducking-stool still obtains in the
State of New Jersey as a punish
ment for the offense of being a com
mon scold. 1t appears that a war
rant was sworn out against res
ident of the City of Hoboken by a
neighbor, charging that the defend
ant, by her practice of scolding, dis
turbed the quiet and repose of the
neighborhood, and had become a
positive nuisance. And our con-
temporary states that the accused,
if convicted, may be placed on a
ducking-stool and soused in a pond
or other convenient body of water.
Although the law against a COM
mon scold still exists in this country,
yet punishment by the ducking-
stool has become obsolete, fine and
imprisonment having been substi-
tuted.

THE SUGAR SCANDAL.

The Tillman resolution in the
Senate to investigate as to what
Senators profited by their informa-
tion to speculate In sugar stocks, APP
pears to be on the hinge. If the in
vestigation is ordered it might dis
close some transactions which
would be highly derogatory to some
of the grave gentlemen composing
That body, and if not ordered there
is suspicion that they are afraid
of the results. 1t should pass and
the investigation be made through
and searching, no matter who is hit
thereby.
In 1891 several Senators specula-
ted in those stocks, but the enquiry
was halted at the critical point of
disclosing the facts. If this is to be
repeated better not pass the resolu-
ton, but it should not be. The
sugar trust with its methods OF
smirching the Senate should beun-
covered, and the men who are will
ing so basely to betray that illustri-
o1s body should be held up without
felr or favor. There should be no
mock sentiment about the matter.

The 5000 are of one mind and are united.
The 10000 are OF many minds, but they can
be united In common cause and Will then be
irresistible. The new charter must provide q
way in which to unite them.
Three things must be done by the charter
makers to insure the complet tie and permanent
victory OF the 70, 600 plundered victims over
their willy and resourceful 5000 oppressors.
The first condition IS that the new charter
shall be acceptable to the 10000, because 1t
VIII not fall to protect them when adopted !;
the second, that they can at once understand
1t because it is honesty plain and simple; the
third, that it shall escape slow death by tor
tured construction in ,he courts
The new charter will never fail to protect
the 70, 600 and render the 5000 pCWerIess TO
plunder them if all authority and response
bilty are vested in a large City Council or
Board OF Supervisors, and all their ordinances,
acts and orders are subject to veto by the
10000. The 20 600 can a once unders tand a
system so utterly plain and simple. The
courts cannot 'construe" the life out of it ii il
is MADE to conform TO the State constitution.
1t is not surprising that the veto by the
voters should seem somewhat difficult of uni
versal and ready application to the ordina ances
and acts of the Supervisors at first thought to
those who have not made study of this
method of preventing the plundering of a
city. For example, it has been objected that
some orders are by their complex nature out
side the orders that voters can pass on wisely,
finance orders being instanced as examples.
1t is a surfs ce objection. Finance orders are
of money can be undt rstooo by most voters,
to say the least, and these orders med not be
made complex. The Governor can legally
veto some items in bill passed by he Legis-
lature and let the Others stand. The people
can do so too. And the Mayor can SUSPEND
an order also, and he viii do it too ii he has q
