The Index Breaks The Last Straw

The de mocratc papers of this state hapgon as
hopelessly to dead cause and defunct party, as
a lean, lank leech does to rotten carcass with
every drop of life blood long since sucked out.
The Farmont Index iu particular took occa-
sion last week to use the last straw and warped
into violent span recipe given by the Tele-
gram TO prevent smallpox. and at the same time.
reproduced the recipe without giving us the slight.
est credit for obtaining it from a professional
nurse In short the Inc ex stole it.
Frenzled into the greatest degree of lunacy
over their own ignobe defeat, the Index takes
iaunt from home 10 squirt its spleen. which but
displays its own proneness to devlate from reason
and truth ard heaps its own calumny upon its own
head Wonder if those naturaized foreigners
made so by democratic money did not have some
thing to do with the political sore spots the Index
exhibits all over itself Just at presents That was
. sadder blow than SMALLPOX 10 the Index Pos
sibly, a good common sense remedy just prior to
their naturalization, administered III prescribed
doses 10 the Index would have proven good anti
septic 10 that esteemed journal. Even vinegar
might have done some good.
But the Index will probably resume its nor
NAL condition after that coat of brine itgot up
Salt River wears off although from the general
condition of things and the disposition it shows,
the trips will oft be repeated,
Again the Index alludes to the Telegram as
the ring organ BY inspecting the handsome
republican majorities in this county, the greatest
ever known, the Index will find it wrong in
defining the ring" unless it terms the people the
ring. II will further fnd that the people are with
and for the Telegram and that the Telegram is with
and for the people Both interviewer and
identical The Index has broken its last straw,
now let it withdraw to the privacy of its own
closet and take vinegar something stronger to
drown its troubles and The effects ignominous de-
feat brought.

The two local democratic papers rehashed last
week an article in the Fairmont Index abiding to
smallpox in Carksburg, and yet, they we're sub
timely innocent of any designs against the inter
ests of our city and people lu other words they
appear to gloat over any and all references to
smallpox in Clarksburg by outside papers. Still
they expect the business of Clarksbure to
graciously patronze and support them.

The Wheeling Registers reproduction of the
venomous attacks made on the Telegram by the
local democratic papers confirms the statement
that the democratic riugsters and office seekers
have designs against The best and highest Interests
of the business of Clarksburg. Because the people
prevented them from getting their theving hands
on the reins of government and stealing the public
funds, they seem determined 10 ruin the city and
county in another way, just any way at that no
matter how INSCRIPTIONS, SO long as theirp litica
disappointment is gratitie6. The dominant spirit
with them is to exploit to the world every imagin
able thing that will in any way njure the citizens
OF this county aud their business. And yet they
have the audacity cry criminal at other people!

The News had to swallow its own wad about
that quarantine business. Democratic votes we're
wanted and they clamored for the lifting of the
quarantine. The democratic votes failed to pan out
and then they began bowling. How would it do
to stereotype what the News said about it before
election that there is not genuine. well defined
case of smallpox in that neighborhood, and run it
all the year to that sheets dscomfiture?

Chased to hole by facts and figures, the local
democratic papers fell to abusing the Telegram
employees. as well as the of the paper, and
the repu olican party in general, but without ac-
compishing anything. They did not rectify their
position or mend matters by this subterfuge and
may we'll feel ashamed of the villiticatons they
made.

OBSERVANCE OF
NEW YEARS DAY
Hebrew Residents of This City Yes
terday Appropriately Celebrated
the First Day of Their Year.

Services in celebration of the Jewish
New Year were conducted throughout
the various city synagogues yesterday
morning, and everywhere the Hebrew
citizens scrupulously observed the day.
Scranton's busy business thorough
fares were dotted with establishments
that We're closed in honor of "Rosh
Hashonah," while the proprietors and
their families attended divine worship
at the temples and fittingly observed
one of the greatest and most awe-in-
spring of all the holidays of the jew
ish calendar.
From 10 o'clock to II o'clock in the
morning all the Scranton synagOgues
were thronged with worshippers, and
the afternoon and remainder of the day
was entirely devoted to happiness and
merriment This festival is one of JOY
and mirth, and everyone beginning the
year with the customary good resolu-
tions, starts the New Year with a day
of wholesome pleasure. which is TO
serve as a model for the 1854 to follow.
The entire holiday is entirely in vari-
anCe with the Day of Atonement. OF
Yom Kippur, which will begin the night
OF Tuesday, October 2. This latter
event is no less important in the Jew
ish religion than New Year, but is
marked by services throughout the en-
tire day, and a strict fast from nour-
ishment of any sort. 1t is a period OF
gloom and sorrow, greatly in contrast
with the happy, merry day which was
yesterday celebrated.
Services began at 10 O'clock vester-
day morning in the Linden street syna-
gogue. The church presented a beau
tiful appearance, palms and potted
plants, banked gracefully in mass in
front of the pulpit, producing a hand,
some effect. Sol Foster, formerly OF
this city and now a student at the
Hebrew Union college, a rabbinical
university at Cincinnati. was in charge
of the services, and created a splendid
impression upon all his auditors.
He chose as his theme yesterday
morning the extract from Genesis, tell
ing of the sacrifice of Abraham, on the
occasion when the patriarch was about
to offer up to Heaven his own son
Isaac. He told of the struggle the
maker of the covenant with the Lord
had with himself as he heard the warn
ing voice of his conscience. and he
graphically described the marked eff
fects it produced on his after life.
Mr.. Foster pointed out a similarity
between the clear, ringing notes of the
voice of conscience and the vibrant
tones of the "shofar," or cornet. al
ways sounded in the house of worship
on New Year and the Day of Atone
ment. The "shofar" is intended to pro-
duce the same results as the wee sma'
voice. and by its warning peal to re-
mind all who hear it of their own er-
rors, and the fact that it is not too late
to mend.
The discourse was logical and
thoughtful. During the service. sacred
music was rendered by the choir under
the leadership of Professor G, b. Der
man.

Just a month ago last night School
Controllers Evans and Gibbons had an
exceedingly lively wrangle over some
work done around No. 13 school, which
Mr. Gibbons charged Mr.. Evans with
having authorized. Mr.. Evans sought
vindication two weeks ago and sue
ceeded in having a special committee
appointed to investigate the matter.
The committee presented the following
report at last nights meeting of the
school board which was read and
ordered filed:
To the Board Of Control Scranton, Pa.
Gcntlcmen: The special committee appointed
to look into the matter of the work done ON the
retaining wall at No. l3 school this summer,
went to the building on the afternoon OF the
18th instant, accompanied by other members Of
your body.
They found that the wall on the noIthcastCrly
and souhcrlv sides had been changed SO that the
top would be horizontal instead of following
the grade of the ground II had been originally
built, and that on part of the northWesterly
side and on a part Of the southwesterly side
new wall had been constructed,
There is no question in the minds of the com.
mttcc that the change is an improvement, al
though not absolutely necessary. The criticism
is that no damage would have been done had
the work been postponed until the wall already
erected required repairs or until the district was
in better financial condition. The wall was
originally built in 1886, or only four years ago,
and could have been left for number of years
without being touched, thereby saving much Of
the Sl,Cj0, which was expended in making the
changes the past summer.
We could not find that the work had been
authorized by the board or the building com.
mittce. When the latter made their usual yearly
visit to sec what repairs were necessary, the
change in the wall was spoken Of, and a note
made of it by the superintendent Of repairs. Tho
controller Of the ward claims he had nothing
to do with letting tho contract for these changes
although he knew Of it,
IT seems TO your committee that where so
much Tcncy is to he spent, as was expended
in this case, the work should not be undertaken
without the approval of the board and should
be legally advertised 1t is a very loose way
Of doing the business of the board, and il it
does not lead to actual dishonesty, it brings
about many irregularities and great extrava.

John O'Mallev.

A ballot was then taken and Wash
ington withdrew from the contest in
Atlanta's favor. The Georgia metropo-
lis won out on the first ballot, with a
vote of "A out of 1873 cast. The date
for the convention has not yet been
fixed.
The committee on amendments to the
constitution reported favorably on the
much discussed question of a change
in the manner of electing delegates
and recommended that henceforth an
nual state conventions be held and at
these a limited number of state repre-
sentatives be chosen. The amendment
was lost by the overwhelming vote of
9G to II, and the delegates to the next
convention will therefore be elected as
heretofore.
