NEW CASTLE. April 12, 1897.
&The following letter has been handed to
your correspondent for publication. by
man who has not enough moral courage
to sign his name, but hides behind
"citizen" as If tho people cannot place
their hands upon him the first time.
Sir: wish to direct the attention OF
the citizens of New Castle to their present
deplorable condition, in regards to the
kind of material our City Council Is
composed of, What an imposition and
humiliation for the people Of this city to
be compelled to submit to the reflection
and disgrace of having such material in
our municipal body as we have had for
members of the present Council who have
had the advantage of a common school
education,
However, should any of the other mem.
bers lay claim to this advantage they have
neglected toimprove their time. The ma
jority of these men lack two of the most
essential and important qualifications
necessary for public officers. Namely:
Common sense and judgment. 1t is u
well known fact that the majority of the
members in our City Council are only
tools and puppets, in the hands of meddle-
| some and INSCRIPTIONS persons, who have
| sort of string attachment to them.
