- CLINTON some capital songs sung by Messrs.
MISSING and STouTENBURcH. An excellent band oil
music was present and performed several pieces n
fine style II of the largest and most enthus
a.tc meetings held in the Ward for some time.
OuyIBUsEs-The public are deeply interested
in every thing that relates to the regulation and proper
management Of the numerous lines OF stages licensed
TO run through the different streets Of our City The
business has grown up within the last lew years 70 be
one of immense magnitude and the value OF real estate
IN various parts Of the City materially affected by ts
proximity TO weestablished stage routes The bust
ness lie mainly conducted by responsible men, and At the
same time that the City authorities are bound to exer
else proper supervision over the conduct Of the stages
it Is equally incumbent upon II to protect the property
and to recognize the rights and privileges OF those VINO
have embarked large capitals in the enterprise man
who invests from $1,000 to 10000 in establishing
line Of stages the City, ought not 10 be 30 subjected
T. the caprice any individual that his entire business
may be suspended At the mere refusal OF eng Of the CITY
officers to grant a license. We are not in favor OF
monopolies but we are decidedly favorable TO Just
dealing When the Post Office Department for IN.
stance makes contract with new man 10 carry the
mail by stages invariably requires the new contractor
TO purchase the stock the road from the old contract
ors at fair valuation. This Is Just regulation But
we have been informed that in certain cases recently
the Mayor of City has refused 10 grant licenses to old
established and welconducted lines and granted them
k..rs and fher afgra
thus compelling the old line to put up their horses and
to stow away their stages Tas does not appear to US
10 be the correct plan and think that Mayor Have
meyers sense OF justice will when his attention l.
called to the subject ntgate him to guard against such
a result.
How CERTIFICATES ARE MANUFACTURED
Two wears ego. being asked to recommend a new Por-
table Girls, Mil. we visited the mandatory some two
miles away examined the mill and is working, and
published our judgment thereon through The Tribune
Recently while travelling in the West we were shown
our paragraph, strongly commencing the Portable
Mill printed on cloth, and said to be very widely disem
mated This would have been all right but for the fact
that the mill we examined and approved was FtlS0.
olfs Patent Bur- Stone MIL manufactured in the upper
mart of our city, aud sold by Charles Ross a Co 81
! Broadway. while the mill which article is made to
endorse and commend in these Western bills is entitled
plars Patent Uairosal Grisi-MiH, and advertised By
Harris IIoyt Chicago This latter may be very good
mill for aueh we know OF il but the tact that We never
Jaw il is abundant reason why could not commend
il and the use made Of paragraph by the vender L
no, calculated 70 give favorable opinion OF him any

We state these facts in the hope that the public may
be led 10 investigate what purport 10 be newspaper en-
dorsemens of at second hand this or that discovery
invention sc We endeavor not to publish one line oil
this sort that we do confidently believe to be cor
rect snd for whatever appears editorial in our col
umus we are responsible but sometimes see para
graphs paraded in other journals as from The Tribune
which appeared only in our advertising columns and
on the responsibility OF the vendors. And nor" Il II s

copy an endorsement Of our article mutstns II so Ne

something entirely unknown TO the writer It IS obvious
the public mus, lose faith in AL such endorsements
