WEST CHEsTER,s oENTENNIAL

EVENT WILL MORE THAN LIKELY
EXCEED ALL EXPECTATIONS.
West Chester, July 19.-Preparations
for the celebration Of West Chester's
centennial have reached that stage at
which it is safe to predict that the
event will come up to the expectations
of all concerned. Burgess Talbot an
nounces that Charlton T. Lewis, of
New York, will deliver the Grafton,
that Gilbert Cope win prepare and read
the historical sketch Of the town, and
that Professor J. Russell Hayes, Of
|swarthmore College. will read the CEN
tennial ode, which he has in course Of
preparation.
The committees on trades display
and civic parade are working very
hard, as these features bid fair to
eclipse anything of the kind ever seen
in this section of the state There will
be dozen floats, in which the history
of the town from its earliest settle-
ment will be realistically brought out,
while others will display industrial
progress.
One of the most interesting features
of the celebration will be the musuem.
H. Rush Harvey has charge of this
end Of the line. AS Chester county is
rich in revolutionary relics, when
brought together and exhibited in one
spot they will make a display rarely
witnessed anywhere. A speciality win
be made of historic costumes. and a
rare collection has already been as
Isured. The large court room has been
secured for the exhibit, and at the con-
clusion of the August term Of court the
work Of converting it into a musuem
will be commenced
The military and firemen's display
will be imposing. There will a full
regiment of le National Guard and at
least fifty fire companies. Lodges Of
Knights of Pythias, Sons Of America,
Knights Of the Golden Eagle and other
secret orders, together with number
OF uniformed political organizations,
have asked permission to participate in
the affair. and will be assigned to
places in the civic parade.

rHAr oBsERvAToRY.

If the site proposed for the water
tower is absolutely safe for such
structure. why do the DuPonts want
the city to give them an indemnifying
bondq surely such a demand carries
with it the suggestion that with a
water tower in such a place not only
Il. but also the surrounding property
would be in jeopardy. If such danger
exists the city should not accept the site
under any consideration. II it does not
exist why demand an indemnifying
bond? City Council has taken the
proper course.
In connection with the project now
under way, we should like to know II
the water consumers are to pay for a
water tower for the benefit Of con-
sumers. and have tackled to the bill a
big item Of expense for an observatory
for the use, benefit and pleasure Of
everybody? If an observatory is to
be built it is for the common benefit
and the expense should be borne out
OF monies collected under the general
levy. and not out Of the water fund,
It seems to be the policy Of the Board
of Water Commissioners to compel the
water consumers to pay as much
money as possible in water rents, and
to assist the consumers and vacant
lot owners to pay as little as possible
under the general levy. Why should
the water consumers alone put theii
hands In their pocket and pay for
water tower for their own benefit, anc
then put their hands in their pockets
against and pay for an observatory foi
everybody's benefit? They have Coo
Spring Park on their hands. They
have free water for the Fire Depart
ment on their hands. They have free
water for the schools, city buildingl
and state Armory on their hands; anC
after supporting the water system an'
paying thef full proportionate shar'
under the general levy, they have thI
supplying OF an annual surplus o
nearly 100000 on their hands. Ant
now It is proposed to keep water rent
up and general taxes down by compel
ing water consumers to pay for thi
observatory.
We ask the water consumers. in al
candor. II tits not time to call hal
on such gross imposition?

A DEMOCRATIC SUGGESTION.

"In my opinion the city treasurer
should have something to say in re-
gard to the selection Of a person to act
as clerk to the Finance Committee OF
City Council" remarked a prominent
Democrat to the Wayfarer this morn
ing. Il don't suppose that what I say
will have any effect on City Council
but the merit of my remarks will, fee
sure, be appreciated by the public Tc
begin with the city treasurer gives
bond in the sum of $4,000 that the af'
fairs of the office will be honestly ana
capably administered. The clerk t.
the Finance Committee of City Council
is, in reality, assistant city treasurer
While the bond of the treasurer is re
sponsible in part for him, the treasure
has nothing whatever to do with hi
appointment, and even a recommenda
tion on his part is not considered. Il
the tax office the collectors name thei
own assistants, and / fail to see VIII.
the city treasurer should not be per
mitted TO do the same thing"

oUR SENATORIAL VACANCY.

One Of the many papers which come
to our exchange table is Case and
Comment, law publication Of stand
ing in the legal fraternity. In an edi-
torial treating Of the vacancies in the
United States Senate by reason Of the
failure Of the Legislatures Of four
states to elect, it makes the following
pertinent remarks:
The dramatic feature Of the long
deadlock in the attempt to elect a sem
ator from Pennsylvania resulting in
the governors appointment of Senator
Quay to be his own successor gives
peculiar interest to the question
whether he will be given his seat. A
far more important question for the
country Is whether the Senate will be
governed by any principle in the mat
ter or by merely partisan considera-
tions It is of no great consequence
whether the constitutional provision
fc,- filling a senatorial vacancy which
happens during the recess Of the state
Legislature shall be interpreted to
cover a failure of the Legislature to
elect or not. But it Is important 10
have the Interpretation settled and
maintained consistently and impair.
TALLY in its application to Republicans
and Democrats alike. In the determi-
nation Of a members right to a seat
in either house Of Congress that body
Is essentially a court. Quibbllng OF
partisanship in the decision Of the
question is as discreditable as it would
be in a decision by any court of jus
tice. Yet men who would shrink from
being called dishonorable have some
times voted on a seat contest as II
right and justice were Of no account
when compared with party interests.
Thus far Governor Tunnel has fail
ed to perform his plain duty, which il
to follow the example Of Governor
stone of Pennsylvania, and appoint 4
United States senator. Such a step OF
his part can do no harm, and 1t ma.
be productive of much good. We re
spectfully commend the above extrac
to his consideration.

merely because they would be reward
ing a man who had been faithful to

has the naming Of a large number Of
census enumerators in all three coun-
ties Il would have been an excellent
thing for the party-but it was not to
be.
