the party that elected his honor after be-

Hfying our liquor ordinance so as TO make
ale and lager free. The mayor vigorously
seconded the movement The enemies OF
the liquor ordinance opposed it, on the
ground that all liquor that made drunk
come should be treated alike. If lager beer
and native wine (,eeakened with whiSkey)
are free, let gin and rum be free also Bnt
our wise temperance men decided, that be-
cause il took half gallon of lager to make
drunk come, whereas half pint Of rum
will do it, therefore lager is comparatively
harmless. So they have wisely enacted that
henceforth ale, lager beer, and wine shall be
free as water All hail! lager beer Spark
