THE NUISANCE INSPECTORSHIP Thu much debated (pic.'tion of the appoint­


ment of a miisance inHi)ector was at length 5n- ally Hcttlcd at yesterday’s meeting of the Town Council, or, to l,c more correct, in the committee meeting that followed. It is a iiotieeahlc fact that tlie lines oI party cleavage were retained up to the last moment of


going into conimitlce, the whole of the Liberals voting for tliat stop, and the whole of the Con­ servatives voting against it. Is this persistent party voting to lie taken as a mere coincidence ? In committee there appears to have been some


little divergence from tliis general cliarnctcristic of the proceedings, as we arc given tu understand,


that in the final hutwoeii Davies and Kcclcs, the former received hh-c votes and tile latter flvi wliich shows that some of tlie Liboriils votcil for Kceles. It may heas.'inned by some tliat had tile four Conservatives, who witlulrew from the meeting, remained, the result would Iiavc been difl'erent. ’I’his, liowever, is a point which wili be eon.'tnied in exactly oppasito ways, just according as it is looked at tbrongii bine glasses or red. Had the four Censerviitives beoii of the upiuiuii that tlieir votes would have altered tlie final result it goes without saying tlmt tliey would liave stopped. We have already, in decided terms, expressed


our upiuioii of the meril.s of the eandithites, and we need go no further intu the eousideratinu of


the desiralilenesH, or ollierwise, of llie appoint­ ment, Inasmuch ns the deeisieii lieiiig finally


settled any further remarks would only tend to aggravate the ditllculties which, we are afraid llie new ollleor will find bestres’ing his patli. We sincerely trust lie may do liis duty ns faitli

An article in tho Christmas number of the


Strand Mayazine-on “ TIio Strand Magazine - Offices,contains an incidental reference to a former Clitlicroiiian, Mr. Newton H. Aspden, •who, from being a local reporter, lias steadily risen in the journalistic world, and : baa now editorial charge of The jI/i7/fo»,tlic latest venture, of Mr. Newnes, of Tit-Bits fame. Wbat pur-. ports to be a portrait'of Mr. Aspdon ds given,; seated in the J\ltlltnn, editorial-office and in tlio act of speaking to Ids assistant, Mr. Artliur Cre.xtoii. .Tlio brief notice ^saya.—“.Adjoining tile Art Gallery stands the Million editorial offleo occupied by Mr. Hartley Aspden,"and Mr. Cro.vtou, his assists iit. The room is niiide clieor- f ul hy several pf tho original drawings reproduced in the J/iV/iW. In all other respects’ tlio room and its furniture arc suggestivo of nothing but strict business—n bookcase, desks, chairs, and


^ many papers.” A commercial correspondent writes witli refer-


bnoo to the cotton trade dispute:—“ jWedo not expect to sec a settlement in 161)2, hut tho coming year will not he old before the difficulty is arranged. I t is expected that in tho middle of January an arraiigomciit' will bo made on the basis of sliort time, so general at present. “ It is an ill wind tliat blows nobody any good.” Something lias been gained in tlio reduction of overstocked markets for manufactured goods and tlio advance in prices in couscqucnco. The foundation is being laid for a iirofltablo business in the coming spring, and the sooner tlie masters and operatives sot their liouso in order tho better.”


AUhougli sometimes designated “ tlio happy


valley,” tlio village of Sahden lias w'cll earned tile reptitation of being about tho most unlucky place in Lancasliire. Several attempts liavo been made to quicken its trade hy cxtciiding tlio railway to the village, hut each effort to i,ro- moto a company for the purpose lias failed. Siieccssive disasters ' have,-during tlic last few years, overtaken' tlio place in the failure of tlio Oobden Mills, in which many of the villagers had invested tlicir money, tho burning down of tho same mills, tho stopptigo of tho print works, and other unfortunate events. The last calamity, of all, tho serious conllagration at Messrs. Stiiddard'.s inills on Wednesday, seems also to be tho worst, for tho village is ill prepared to face this crowniiig misfortune.
