Hould on there, Mr.. iditor of the

diaree Of words, aud yez ideas are ather
frostid, bint or constipated. Phat are
yez tryin to do to Male WINS annyho?
Yez first had him assistant mayor, thin
mayor, and now yez have him iditor of
the News.
I'll bet that the wather company
change their plans before illiction day.
Thin phat will that com-i-tee and De-
mosthlnus do wild the pumping plans2
III bet tin cints the company will be on
the pint Of layin pipes from the Visit
Fark av Hood river TO town to bring all
kinds ay river wather for hall av the
citizens, and they will say the com-itees
report WAS only joak (on the civic
lage); that they was only foolin wild
thin fellers amy way; but the prisl-
dint of the lage has done a lot av impor-
tant biznz in the last tree months for
that lage annyho. / till yez he has
long head; they only fool him once in
about tree months.
Gintilmin, phat is the mather wild
yez2 There was foive cases aV typhoid
faver last wake and one death.
And still yez stand or sit around and
all yez do is to say, ut is too baad, too
baadl The Lord givith and the Lord
taketh away" But the wather com
pany and the banker intlristed here and
the bank intiristed in Portland, must be
protictid, aVin ii they be sellin wather
thot is combined by the state board av
hilth, and ivirybody thinks is the cause
Of those faver cases, and avin il half av
yez lose some av yer family.
Yez had big fright last year whin
the prisidint OF the wather company
offered $500 raward for aich and lViry
one OF the council who said the wather
was impure, and 500 for amy citizen
who said the wather was impure, pro-
vided he had stuff 80 they cud COLLECT
5000 from him and lot of yez brave

count for it, and iviry wan who advised
or hired, or skeered amy man or min to
vote furninst pure wather, has it placid

BE the powers OF our Losd, min, do
yez think more OF them shylarks than
yez do of the women and childher in
our homes? In this mather they are at
yez marcy. The good Lord has lit
them in yez care and trust, Will yez
vote to lave thin at the marcy OF thin
shylarks and their votaries for 10 years?
| can till yez bether how fale by
quoting from Mr.. Conway:
or all the crimes with which the tempter's art
Has blackened and defled the human heart,
The crime of crimes Is clearly that which must
Result per Sc, FROM VIOLATED TRUST.
Yet still the principle involved in each,
We care not what dishonesty may preach.
The sad effects his villainy lmparts,
May reach ten thousand times ten thousand
hearts.
Pure ones--by bribes and corruption lost,
Whilst tinkling bankers Haunt in pride and
lust.
In pride and lust--whilst 10! the widows tear,
And harkl the orphans wailings strike tn ear
An, who but God can estimate their pain!
they cry to Heaven, nor VIII they cry In vain.
He's well prepared for any kind OF fraud,
Would sell his country or betray his God,
Can peace and order here consent to dwell,
Or will not earth Itself become hell

OF these men, DR., Brosius was elected
and he has kept his promise as man.
In careful, conservative way he has
observed his promise. Is it unfair to
now ask the other men, even though
not elected, to keep the pledges they
then made? Certainly they would never
stoop to such II low level as to make
snCh a promise to the citizens of Hood
River without sincerely intending to
carry it out. Every one of them men OF
high and noble character, and men act
ing on such a plane do not change their
convictions over the small tempest in
a teapot of a city election.
No man acting out of the line OF sim
pie truth and rigid honesty can long
retain the respect OF his fellow man.
These men ought, therefore, to rejoice
that the coming city election on Nov, II
will give them the full and free oppor.
tuuity to carry out their voluntary pub
lie confession. for one shall expect to
see them working on the street and
coming to the polls honestly doing and
voting as they promised to do.

=. S.--As the News printed the above
dodger, advocated the signers' election
and iavorably commented on their cleo
tion, is it unfair to ask the News tC
stand by its former line of conduct

II is said that three of the
stingiest men in the state were
in the town yesterday. One of
them will not drink as much
water as he wants unless 1t is
from another mans well. The
second forbids any of his family
from writing anything but a
small hand. as it is waste OF
ink to make large letters. The
third stops his clock at night in
order to save year and tear on
the machinery. All of them de-
cline to take their country paper
on the ground that is a terrible
strain on their spectacles to read
newspapers, even in he daytime.
