a question whether the Oswego canal
should be opened for navigation this
season, as Mosier & Summers, con-
tractors for large canal work, have
protested that it could not be done
without seriously interfering with their
contract at Fulton. The superintend-
ent held that under the law the de-
partment had no authority to keep
the canal closed TO navigation be-
tween May IS and November Is. Su-
perintendent Stevens therefore noti-
fled the contractors to place the canal
i'm condition for navigation. and II

ter when they know it is to occupy
the site OF DR.. Parkhurst's old church
whose spire had been so lamentably
dwarfed by the big insurance build
ing. This tower will be the greatest
structure OF the kind In the world .
and 1t is to rise five stories higher
than the great Singer building, now
in process OF construction downtown.
The tower in many respects will re-
semble in style and outline the ia
nous Italian Campanile; it is to tow

and giant clock at it's top will be
visible for miles. The lofty spires
or modern times are not reared to
the glory of God, but to the worship
OF Mammon.

DEMOCRATS OF
BLUEFIELD.

The democrats of Blueneld are
the most inactive set OF people that
ever pretended to be at the head OF
any organization They care moth
ing for their organization, nor do
they even make an attempt TO better
their condition. They seem 20 have
become Indifferent as to good gov
eminent, and with their whole soul
wrapped up in the making OF the
almighty dollar, you cannot stimu-
late them to activity on any other
Interest. They know that graft is
rampant in their midst, yet they Will
not seek avenues to expose IT. They
know that their local government Is
in the hands of republican grafters
and political bosses, yet they have
not the manhood TO come out in the
open and express their disgust at
such political chicanery. They allow
those political vampires to suck the
lies blood from the body polite To-
cally without murmur save i'm n
whisper to one another on the
street They actually encourage
graft by their inactivity. and it is
said that sometimes they even join
the leaders of a ring that has held
sway POLITICALLY for years. If the dem
ocrats expect to do anything for the
good of local government I'm the flu
ture now is the time to prepare. If
the better element OF our communi-
ty expect to have anything to say
about local government they must
begin to manifest more interest than
in the past, and seek a better organ
ization than they now have. Much
can be done IL the effort is made

the piano glided away in ripp!ing
murmuringS of broken loneliness and
her auditors felt glad for the divine
