A Heroic Service.

d
The diligent, almost heroic, efforts
of the water department in this
emergency are worthy OF more than
present commentator. 1t is a fact
that Captain Callaghan and his
assistants are doing all in their
power to supply the city They have
worked hard and faithfully all this
long period and used their best
judgment.
The supply is SO short that their
efforts however strenuous can no
longer meet the demand for water.
1t is not their fault and 1T is TO be
hoped that every one sees the seri-
business OF the situation sufficiently
TO cooperate with them in every
possible way. They are not to be
censured because. the supply is not
ample. Rather are they to be
praised for affording as much sup
ply as has been given and their eff
forts should not be forgotten or per-
mitted to pass without due reward.
William Jennings Bryan advances
the thought that there are two
Democracies in New York city, but he
is at loss to know which one voted
for him. From the election re-
turns he could have easily concluded
that neither was guilty

The street conditions from the

Clarksburg and none who have obs

the city will deny the pronounce

Prominent citizens as well as mem

conditions are not only shameful
but outrageous. They denounce the
laxity OF law enforcement and charge
the officers with neglect OF duty.

Time and again this year the Tele-

condition of affairs but without APP

authority are not disposed to act or
to protect the morals of the city.
Those whose sworn duty it is to
suppress and eradicate these immor-

the officers refuse, there are other

other is to turn the city officers out

lions of the upper half OF the front
page OF the Daily News on this page.
The copy OF the notorious hand
blu, which we'll into the hands OF the
Telegram. together with copies of
the front page OF the Daily News,
was sent to an engraving house, for
the PURPOSE OF reproduction. and the
clits or electrotypes thus obtained
are used on this page OF the Tele-
gram to give the tell-tale story to
the public.
Daily News Type.
II Will be observed from these re-
productions that the display lines
used in the Francis hand-bill and
the head-lines of the two issues Of
the Daily News reproduced are ex-
actly the same kind Of type. For
those not familiar with styles OF
type. attention Is called to the fact
that the letters in the headlines OF
the Daily News in the two issues re-
produced are of the same series and
style as that used in the Francis
hand-bill. For instance, compare
the RS Note the little notch Just
above the tails OF those letters. Com
pare the Els. Compare the SIS.
Compare the Ms, the VS., the Fss, in
fact compare allletters which appear
in both. AT once one must conclude
that they are all of the same style
of type. The average printer will
limmed iately recognize that the type
used in, the handsball and the .Daily
News headings is OF the same style
and series without the necessity of
going into such minute detail or
comparison. Printers are familiar
with all the different series of type
used In printing and none have seen
these but to pronounce them the
same.
Identically the Same.
It will be further observed from
the reproductions of the Daily News
as herein given, which are true cop
les, that the Gothic type employed
for the smaller headlines OF that
paper, under the large headlines. are
identically the same style OF type as
that used for the two lower lines of
the Francis poster, which is another
convincing evidence OF the source or
origin of the Francis poster.
| In other words, ..MURDEROUS
THIEVES and "RYMER is IDEN-
TIFIED,. are of the same type as
"A Vote for FRANCIS is a vote for
Catholicism" Also, the lines
"'BoLDEST ROBBERY IN THE HIS
TORY OF TIE CITY" and "TELE-
PHONE FRANCHISE GRANTED
EBY COUNCIL are in the same type
as HANDS OF THE PoPEg' on the
Francis hand-bill. The third line OF
type in the Francis hand-bill is also
I of the same type only it is set in
lower case. or small letters.

that 1t was even frightened after the

the conspirators, who in the shades
of night formulated the attack on
the Catholic church, printed 1t and
had it surreptttiously circulated.
The only refutation OF the un-
founded assertion made quietly and
in an undetermined manner that thu
Telegram had any thing to do with
or was in any way responsible for
the infamous poster. that is at all
necessary is to state that this office
and this paper do not have the styles
of type the poster was printed in,
while the headlines frequently used
by the News, as shown by the repro
auctions here, that paper does have
those styles of type.
The Telegram has fully refuted.
and proved that the poster was not
printed by it or. in its office, and as
the circumstances point to the News
itself, which modestly announced
that the poster had been printed and
circulated, and just as modestly des-
ignated it "a darty trick" since
which time 1t has held its peace and
remained painfully silent, 1t appears
to the average mind that, If it is not
guilty, 1t is incumbent upon 1T to es-
tablish its innocence.
The evidence as here furnished
must be accepted by the public as
conclusive that the Clarksburg Daily
News was guilty of this outrage
against the Catholic church, and re-
|ligion in general. until that paper
furnishes proof to the contrary. The
circumstances have gradually forged
the chain of guilt around 1t, guilt
