I v y ... A Communication. limTOK Nror.KT: A stray copy of one of Washing ton Irving's stories came, in my , way the other day and I read aam the story of "Ichabod'H Ride." While pondering on tho dense and feuperstitious state of mind of tho poor school master and comparing those times w ith the preset t, and thinking how little stock an educa ted man would take in the "occult and visionary." When a copy of the Nugget was placed in my hinds and lo! and behold! here is a twen tieth century Ichabod, scared out of his wits at the "occult and vision ary." In the dim light of his distorted vision, one lone preacher becomes a terrible spectre, bent upon some hideous errand of dire mischief and all poor "Ichabod the second's'" store of euperstitious fear of the "occult" rises and takes possession of bis feeble reason and frightens tbe poor fellow to the point where if some one should throw a pump kin at his head he would take to his heels. Looking more closely to discover j if possible what this "occult and visionary" scare really is we find this a little farther dotvn. "We cannot run the affairs of this city successfully so long as our cauussc?, conventions, elections, of ficials, rules, regulations and ordi nances are influenced by ministers." "We" stands for the present ad ministration that with no interfer ence by any body, hs confessed its ! iuability to "run" the affairs of the J town successfully." Other people, taxpayers, hearing tbe oft repeated confession, have told tLeui to resign and let ihose ! who have e;jual interest at stake land who believe they can run the town successfully have a try at it. But no, the Belf-cocle?8ed failures want to keep ou failing and begin to whine about "interference." But to Ichabod and the preachers, there are only four or five preachers in town and for grown men to plead the baby act and whine about the affairs of the town Leing inter fered with by tbe preachers" sounds silly to say the least. Looking over the article, most of which is good we find this sentence referring to the mill men. ''We should also encourage aud cheer their employees, furnish them en tertainment and keep them with us contentedly, as far practicable," which is all true, but what else do the preachers and others propose to do? What does the party represen ted by your correspondent propose to do to chrer the mill men? They propose to continue tbe good work of the present admiuis tratiou, furnishing gambling ma chines into which these boys may put their bard earned coin and en courage the boot-legger to furnish them liquid cheer entertainment, while the preachers would substi tute lectures, reading-rooms and everything that tends to e!evate and instruct. A certain mill man remarked the other day he could not see what his foreman did with all his money, as he bad paid him a large sum only a few days before, and he was broke already. Some one explained that bo was seen at a gambling machine playiug half dollars as fast as most boys play tickles. That is evi dently this mau's idea of cheer and encouragement, and no doubt if he aud his friends could have their own way they would briug back "Lee Miuard and bis gang" back so that the logger could enjoy be iug "rolled" and relieved of his money without the labor of poking it into a machine balf a dollar at a time. This is tbe issue, much us they try to obscure it, on the one ( Continued nn rmcre .1 1 r-o- i f
