Olly Council will do vv ll lo consider(ho advisability of placing lightedred-lantern danger signals along Iboelevated sidewalk on M.tin street, be¬tween College Htreol and tho postoffice, whore the ddewallt has cavedIn. This is II very dangerous place,¡ind n litil"' Inexpensive precautionwill prevent possibility of serious ac¬
cident or oven losa of life, to saynothing of tho monetary considera¬tion from suits for damages in case
ol' accident.At placo» there are three to four
feet of the walk gone, and In thedarkness of those nights, withoutlights, it would bo an easy matterfor a citizen to sustain serious injuryby a fall of four or live feet Into onoof these rock-lined cave-ins.
OUR LOCAD LAWS.
We publish this week the ordi¬nal), es of the town of Walhalla,whirh were recently ratified by thomw City Council. These laws re¬main much tho same as heretofore,bul there aro ono or two slightchanges. Wo call attention to thembecause they are important-uniteas important, if not more important,to the people of Walhalla, than eventho laws of the stat«! at large. Theyrepresent the governmon I next to thchome.
These laws are made for a three¬fold purpose Hie protection of thelaw-abiding citizen and the punish¬ment of the law-breakor, and for the
h -:
^
l/.e themselves With these laws. Theseofficers are tho guardians of the town,and they should know the laws andseo that they are enforced, lt is notInfrequently Ihe case that membersof the Council are the chief violatorsOf certain sei t inns of these locallaws, especially those portions forthe protection of Ibo public health.As a matter of fact, if there As anydifference whatever to be made be¬tween (ho private citizen and thememhei of Council, the law shouldnpplj more rigidly lo tho olficlal thanto the citizen.We trust that every citizen will
lend his onergy toward the enforce¬ment of these laws and assist the olli-cials In heir unpleasant duty. To bemost effective these laws must be(die.ved. hut in tho absence of properregard Tor them they lUUSl he en¬
forced.In the enumera'ion of the licenses
fixed there appears an error with ref¬erence to contractors and builders.This should read: "Contractors andbuilders, for ii,ooo or under.each additional $ 1 .OOO or fractionthereof, $1." The error is due tothe copy furnished for the printer,but was discovered too late for cor¬rection in type.
The tax ordinance remains thesame as for the past two years. Thisleaves a heavy burden on all persons"Who have honest returns made on»their property, and we reel that itwould have been better had theCouncil seen lit to remove thc extratax»- However, there are betterreason., for tho retention of theseextra taxes than there wore for theiroriginal levy. Hui lhere ls alwaysdancer of extravagance where un-necossary hardens are placed on thcpeople.Wc believe, nevertheless, that Wal¬
hallas ollVials have Ihe good of tin¬tern at heart and will aol overlookthe fact thal the moneys thal comeInto their hands are there as a sa¬cred trust. Tho people will not com¬plain greatly If they arc given oppor¬tunity to see thal their money is bclng f pent judiciously.
"Sil.'iee in Court!" lt la Magis¬trate A. I*. Crisp, may it please YourHonor. The charges were "romovod"-not the magistrate,
"Dynamlto Conspirators to Peach."-Headline. Poslnbly HO. but thejudge will also he there with thofruit-most probably a lemon.
Coffy n, the great Relator, ls doingsome fine stunts in and aroundBrooklyn, flying under and over thebridge, otc. What':? In a name? Theaviator will bo ill his shortly, we im¬agino.
"Hallways, not bullets, will countin futuro wars." says a London dis¬patch. Well, by Heel Wo presumethat tho general commanding willmass his men on the track lu frontOf a (rain running at, say, fifty milesan hour. All the British soldiers.surviving will bo supposed to soe thejoke, doucher know?
Tho News and Courier suggests theadvisability of resorting to the in¬junction method of squelching Hanks,of tile Anderson Daily Mail, who In¬sists on indulging in dogorol- poetryliv courtesy. ' Ile has had." says theNows and 'Courier, "as many as throespasms In one day." lt's Hie Ipecacyou want; nil an Injunction. He'llpull through all right.
