Our Firemen at Bradford.

Our fremen who attended the con-
vention at Bradford returned home well
pleased with their reception. The dele
gates made an effort to secure the con-
veDtion for 1900 but were unable to
reach the coveted prize Delegate A. C..
Blum, as well as all our boys, made a
determined fight in behalf of Emporium
but came out third in the contest. The
Bradford Hearld, in speaking of the
convention, says;
''EmpOrlum's cause was in able hands.
Mr.. A. c. Blum painted a pretty picture
of the good times the boys could have if
they went to that busy little town next
year. The sum of $1,000 had been
pledged in two hours to entertain the
fremen if they would honor Emporium
by their presence and the people
were unanimous in welcoming the laddies.
A vote was taken and Kane won the
convention, receiving 81 votes, 81 for
North East and 30 for Emporium.
When the vote was announced Messrs.
Collins and Blum thanked the delegates
for their votes and the vote was made an
unanimous one for Kane, as the conven-
tion city in 1900"
While Emporium would have made
every effort to entertain the visiting fire
men next year, we very much fear it
would be big take. We hope Kane
may be equal to the emergency, but they
have no small task before them. Let
every town along the line render all the
aid necessary to make the convention
success.

Shall We StrangIe It ?

Emporium is now in transition state
neither worm nor butterfly; and it is a
matter of some speculation whether this
place has not seen its happiest days.
One of the greatest checks to prosper
ity in a provincial town in the insane
desire to ape metropolitan airs. A vii
lage, no more than an individual, can af-
ford to be over-extravagant; and in either
case bankruptcy is the certain result.
The borough bond alluded to in "Why
not Pave Fourth Street ?" is the round
little sum OF ten thousand, seven hundred
dollars. Add to this the eighteen or
twenty thousand dollars proposed for the
paving Of Fourth street; and you have no
small amount on which the present tax
payer must pay the interest, besides pay
his usual county and state tax.
Moreover pavement is no cleaner, no
more sanitary, ana no more exempt from
dust than the ordinary highway, except
it is swept daily and to sweep street as
long as Fourth daily would entail an ex-
penditure likely to make the taxpayer
howl, and every Elysian field to bear the
pretentious motto, EThis lot for sale"
Will it be, as in the too recent past in
vain?
Let us get out of the woods, neighbors,
before exercising the ROSTERS voice.
As for laying the dust, did it never
occur to the jealous advocates of pave
ment that sprinkling cart would be an
effective instrument =? And in many
larger towns than ours the Hose Compan-
les take the matter in hand, in order to
increase their funds, and exercise their
horses.
Why not experiment in some such
simple way before running the risk of be-
ing obliged to put our judges in Jail, as
security, as happened to a bonded Indiana
town. Any way the equinoxial storm
is now at hand, when, presto, the dust
will be laid without any Intervention of
job contractors.
