A TRIBUTE TO JOB LYON,

Job Lyon. county attorney, in the
course Of his duty has demanded from
tie county commissioners restitution
of several thousand dollars paid by
them 20 their party organ in violation
of the law. Under his oath of office
he had no option but to do as he has
done. The payment OF the money was
as cold a transfer of the taxpayers
money 10 private interests in defiance
of law as could be devised. 1t was en-
yineered in secret, the warrant for
the amount was issued without legal
right. and the men who got it waited
until the county treasurer had gone
out Of his Office so they might have the
warrant registered without interfer-
ence from the treasurer, who was ready
TO block the fraudulent bill.
In recognition of his action, Mr..
Lyon is now being subjected to daily
attacks from the newspaper that got
the money. He could have expected
nothing else from the owners Of the
paper. because men who would take
the money under such circumstances
would not hesitate to do anything tc
keep il.
Mr.. Lyon has one consolation, how
ever. and it is enough: he could hop,
for no higher tribute to his honesty
and ability than assault from thu
Brewers Own.

DEMANDS ON LIBERTY BELL
Philadelphia Mayor Leaves II to New
Councils If 1t Goes " est.
public LEDGER

The mayor declares that while he is in
favor of permitting the Liberty bell to
be sent TO the Alaska-H ukOn-Pacillc eX-
position he Will take no action. The new
councils which will soon take their seats
will make the decision. The people OF
the northwest are eager to have the bell
Newspapers in various parts Of the coun-
try have discussed the subject. Many
think that inasmUCh as Independence han
is the shrine for the bell, visitors to II
ought TO have some assurance that the
bell will be there. Others. admitting that
the presence of the bill in different parts
Of the country is a spur to patriotism and
the qualification Of a natural curiosity
and laudable desire, think that there IS
danger IN the perambuistiOns OF the bell
which may be destroyed irrevOcably.
Others declare that though there may
be danger and though the proper place
for the bell is in independence hall. yet
since the authorities of Philadelphia on
other occasions have sent the bell to ex-
positions. they cannot with good grace
refuse IL now. The idea is that there
shall be no favOTitism or Partially. but
adherence to the precedent once estab-
lished.
1t will be evidence Of hard heart to
check the excursions of the bill. The
squad of rublcund- policemen who attend
the bell will have secured a vested right,
and, therefore, the bell must never rest.

is that HedEer, q university man. one
