Something Doing.

1t IS a strange anomaly thai
while the people have never refused
to tax themselves en- any proposi.
tion that has ever come before
them, an inherent feeling of uneasl.
ness should pervade the community
whenever the question Of, taxation
was broached; and this Indifferent
and unresponsive attitude has
chilled the ardor back Of many an
undertaking in Its incipiencY. But
a multitude of misfortunes have de-
throned indifference, and It's inactive
reign 10 over. The passive qules-
cent state of mere existence has
been superseded by. an over power
ing impulse to be up and doing,
and the adnascent backward growth
IS to be Topped off in the achieve
ment Of contemplated improve
ments. With the dawning Of the
new day there seems to be SO much
enthusiasm, such an earnest and
abiding faith in the possibilities of
the future, and such self conscious
ness Of the power and ability to per-
form, that we feel the awakening is
thorough and that something is
doing"
Even the women are adding their
strength Ito the movement, and
they are very valuable aid, not
only in raising funds, but in mould
ing public opinion and spurring up
the laggards. ;
The Mayor and Council, at spe-
cial meeting held Tuesday talked
the matter over, and there was not
one dissenting voice. All want wa
terworks and fire protection, and 1t
seems now simply to be, what kind
and at what cost. While the work
so far is only preparatory, we are
assured Of their most hear ty coop
Grafton The consensus og opinion
is that the town should own its
plant; and perhaps, as we gaze upon
the ruins of the late fire, there will
rise up out of the ashes, as a me,
mortal, o system of waterworks
that will be a pride to the com.
munity and protection in times OF
danger.
