LET GOOD COUNSEL PREVAIL.

There is talk of deadlock" in
the municipal boards when the re-
publican members take their seats in
January. II there is one. 1t will not
be the work of the new members.
Several of the latter have said that
they desire harmony. and expect to
have 1t il there is any way to get 1t.
There are two boards composing
the general council. and the vote in
each will be equally divided. There
is no more honor, work or remunera-
tion in one than the other, and In
the selection of presiding officers no
apparent reason the honors should
not be divided and the old members
be given the presiding officer Of one
board, and the new members the 9TH
er. There is no reason at all that
either side should want or demand
both presiding officers and II neither
does. there do not appear to be any
grounds for expecting a disagree
ment or deadlock. In case either side
demanded both presiding officers. 1t
would be demanding something un-
fair. and would be responsible for
any subsequent hitch in the transac-
tion of public business.
The general public, it is safe to
assume. expects its representatives in
Office to work together for the gener-
al good. and IT is to be hoped that
good feeling will prevail, in order
that the city may move forward and
the people enjoy the benefits of pro-
gress. enterprise. and a municipal
government in which every man gets
square deal"

The property owners in the sew

Mayor Lang and three years under
Mayor Yeiser. in which to connect
with the sewers II they wanted to. 1t

don't want to and don't intend to un-
less they have to. The city was
without sewerage until a republican
council went into ONCE. and it may
be, will go without sewerage con-
nections until the republicans get

Break-U OF The
Home Rule Party

There is beginning to be Il belief
,among politicians that the Home Rule
party is beginning to break up. When
Wilcox first organized the party four
years ago. it was the general eXpecta-
tion that the party would not last over
more than one election, and when Will
cox on his return from Washington
called his Home Rule committee to-
gether and got them to change the
name of the party to the Home Rule
Republican party--in favor of every
thing Republican except the mission
aries, there was a renewal of belief
that the end of the party was in sight.
But when after coquetting with the
Democrats, and repudiating them along
with the missionaries" the party still
put up a solid front, and though Wilcox
was defeated, elected some of its can
didates, the belief in the speedy disso-
luton of the Home Rule party was
shattered.
1t is reviving again. Those who are
in a position to know what is going on
the native mind, say that there is a de-
cided reaction against the Home Rule
party and in favor of joining one or the
other of the American parties. Quite a
number of Home Rule members of the
legislature, and other pillars of the
Home Rule party have taken part in
the organization of Democratic precinct

had talked with Commissioner John T. Oakley and
intended to take the up with Professor Will
lam IL Burr, oS the BUrr-Freeman commission
which recommended the of water from these
streams The main thing to be decided is the ur-
gency OF such legislation.

excluded from the watershed of Duchess County
