The Borough Finances.

MEssRS. EDITORS The financial statement of
the borough'of Rising Sum- in last weeks issue of
your paper, has been the subject of much favor
able criticism. few years ago such statement
appeared, for two or three successive years, but
OF late none has been published. Such exhibits
to the citizens of the borough not only desir-
able to them but absolutely their right to have,
worth much more than it costs, and should ap-
pear annually without break. Will Mr.. H. ii.
Haines, who has been the Borough Treasurer for
seven years, let us know why we have not had
them the last five years?
We have before us the last one published years
ago The debt OF the borough was then 81 500. 1t
is now 800 greater and for that 81 800 what have
we? We have substantial stone sidewalks instead
of wooden ones measured by miles and not yards,
side walks that will stay and not have to be re-
newed-which cost at the depot nearly So 800
before taken from the cars Hence the borough
has paid from the taxes each year its current ex-
penses furnished new lamps and erected the
same and kept them well lighted all the time
macadamized its streets and paid about $1,000 upon
the cost of said sidewalks the cars and laid the
same in addition. When any one takes into con-
sideration that the Borough is now almost com
petely provided with stone sidewalks, making it
the best paved borough in that respect that can
be found, also the best lighted under the care of
painstaking and conscientious bailiff the finan-
cial condition of the town is to be complimented
As soon as the small amount of remaining side
walks that are not laid with stone have been so
provided, the Commissioners should be able to
| reduce the debt as much as $500 annually.
Some of the Borough Commissioners have served
the town long time. 1t is no pleasant duty and
has no compensation and others will be asked to
take a turn at it and those so long on duty will
| want relief. When election day comes around
good citizens should take an interest and see to it
that good men are secured. There should be
concert OF action, as repeat it is all important
| or the citizens of the borough may wake up
some fine morning and find out that their affairs
| so important-are in the hands OF those who will
have little regard and less for the welfare of
the taxpayers. On the occasion of the last
borough election little interest it is safe to
say, would have been manifested but for the ac-
| tivity of some half dozen who were not deeply
interested from principle. One paid no tax ut Ill,
two paid $l50 each, two paid so cents each, or
$3.50 in al-but one had not paid any tax for two
| years. Vigilance is the price of protection as
we'll as liberty. TAX PAYER

His Last Hope Realized.
(From The Sentinel, Gebo, Mont }

In the first opening of Oklahoma to
settlers in 1889, the editor of this paper
was among the many seekers after for
tune who made the big race one fine day
in April. During his travelling about
and afterwards his camping upon his
claim, he encountered much bad water,
together with the severe heat, gave him a
very sever diarrhoea which it seemed al
most impossible to check, and along in
June the case became so bad he expected
to die. One day one of his neighbors
brought him one small bottle of Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy as last hope. A big dose was
given him while he was rolling about on
the ground i'll great agony, and in a few
minutes the dose was repeated. The
good effect of the medicine was
soon noticed and within an hour
the patient was taking his first sound
sleep for fortnight. That one little
bottle worked a complete cure, and he
cannot help but feel grateful The sea-
son for bowel disorders being at hand
suggests this item. For sale by Eli T.
Reynolds.

The question of the democratic leader
ship for 1904 seems to vex the souls of
many men who have not the slightest
idea of supporting the party's candidate,
whoever he may be, says the New Or.
leans Times-Democrat. These meddlers
and marplots are of two kinds-republi-
cans who begin to fear Roosevelt is re
incarnation of Bryan, and pseudo demo-
Gratis who believe, or affect to believe,
that wisdom will die with their idol.
As matter of fact the differences be-
tween the rival organizations are con-
genital, and pierce to the very marrow oil
their being. Between these believers in
utterly opposite creeds there can be
neither compromise nor reconciliation.
The great gulf is fixed in human nature
and will endure to the last syllable of re,
corded time. The struggle of 1904 will
turn upon the old issues, though they he
modified as to outward form.
At the council-board of the first presi
dent there sat two masterful men who
embodied ideas which are coeval with the
race itself Hanlilon's name is synon
ynous with privilege and centralized ad
ministration, while Jeffersons renowr
rests upon his defense of the many
against the few. If those pre-eminent
statesmen should return to the land o.
the living, they would find no difficulty
i'll aligning themselves on the contro
versies of this generation.
Ifthe country prefers republican pol
ices, the reins of power should be en-
trusted to republican hands ; if demo
cratic remedies are desired, truly dem.
ocratic doctor should be called in. Let
us have no more of the quacks who give
bread pills and poison by turns, without
thought of the patients disease. The
practitioner of this kidney is but the
undertaker's advance agent.

It must be difficult matter TO deter
mine what constitutes violation of the
criminal clause of the anti-combine law
when President Baer, the anthracite coal
king testified before the interstate COM
merce commission that he not only fixed
the price of coal but entered into an
agreement not to undersell, and still was
not compelled to suffer the penalty pre-
scribed for such fragrant violation of the
Sherman law.
