AN EPIsoDE.-At the meeting Of the city
council on Wednesday evening little cpl
sode occurred between the Mayor and Alder
man O. j. Dimick, such as we have often
seen accounts of in the Chicago and New
York boards of aldermen, and in congress,
between members) but which, nevertheless,
was highly improper. We did not intend to
allude to it, for the reason that the publica.
ton of such matters does not he p the repu-
tation of our city, abroad. But inasmuch as
the Union, this morning, has spoken of the
matter, but left the public in doubt as to
who the parties were, We have supplied that
omission and thus relieved the innocent
members of the board from blame. The
matter was wholly confined to abusive and
disgraceful personalities, In language, and,
as near as we can learn the blame should
rest about equally upon each, with this ex-
ception: the Mayor, being the presiding Off
Ger, should neuer permit himself to commit
an improperly of that sort. No man can
preserve order and command respect unless
he first govern himself
We don't think the weather or the price of
gold will be materially affected by this little
dispute between two members of the city
council-but it was an improperly which
we hope viii never be repeated Keep COOL
gentlemen = mild manners and pleasant
words are much the best.

Flatulency.

The most common cause of this difficulty
is Indigestion. When the natural fluids of
stomach are secreted in an unhealthy state.
fermentation rapidly takes place, and the
stomach and associated viseera become dis
tended with gas, giving rise tofreqaenternc-
tation or belching. The quantity of gas
thus accumulated is often enormous. The
treatment for this disorder should be careful
diet, healthy, welLcooked animal food, and
use, Roback's Bitters and Blood Pills the
same as for dyspepsia.

THE Union seems very unhappy because
the saloon keepers are not compelled to con-
tribute all the profits of their business to the
city treasury. Their license was unjustly
doubled ON them, last year, by the casting
vote of a republican mayor. This year the
Union insisted ON carrying the question of a
reduction of saloon licenses into the election,
and its party was beaten worse than ever be-
fore. Why can't the Unio. accept the re-
suit gracefully instead of growing, every
day, about what the people ordered done by
their ballots? The city council have only
carried out what the Union said would be
done if the democrats succeeded, and if that
paper is believer in the doctrine that ma
jorities should govern, it should not censure
the Cit. council for carrying out what q ma
jority of the people decided should be done.
The people are generally just and fair to-
wards all classes. They are not in favor of
depressing any one class Or mjuring or
destroying any lawful business, or extort-
ing money from any business. Last
year some 357to DO men in this city, en-
gagged in the liquor business, were com
PEELED to pay and did pay one-third of
the entire revenue of the city. 1t was done
by the casting vote of a republican mayor
Was it right? Was there any justice or fair
ness in compelling a5 to 40 men to pay one
third of the revenue of city of 10000 to
10000 inhabitants The people said there
was not,-and the people are right. e.

We hear it said that the gas company are
u. n..,k nf ~ JAts;l, of H.

We hear it said that the gas company are
not pleased with some Sf he details of the
report of the committee on the gas question.
wen, what Of it? The city council makes
its own declarations, takes its own positions,
states its own facts in It's own way, and, no
doubt, will continue to do SO. r. o1aats%7
We suppose there is no dispute about the
fact that the citizens are to be furnished with
gas at $4,50 per thousand cubic feet, in fa.
ture, which is areduction of 20 cents thous-
and. That question is settled. o n
+ We suppose, also, that the street lamps are
to be lighted all night in faturs, and every
night, when the moon does not furnish sufh-
Gent light all night, at 81 q month for each
lamp,sif the gas company chooses to light
them for that price. If the gas company
does not choose to light them for that price,
itshas a right to decline to do so.If a written
agreement is to be made between the city
and the gas company, in regard to the street
lamps, the details of that agreement should
be such as both parties are suited with.
The committee to whom the matter was
referred unanimously reported in favor Of
having the lamps lighted all night, as the po-
lice and many citizens think, by SO doing,
burglaries, robberies, rows, fights, &c, &c,
would be less frequent. Others think that
y o'clock is bate enough to keep them burn
ing, and only on dark nights. Others, again,
think it would be good idea not to light
them at all. This is subject about which
people would naturally differ very widely
The council decided in favor of having the
lamps lighted every night, and all night
But that decision is not unalterable. They
can have Just as much, or just as little light
as is thought best-or none at all. The de-
sire of the council is to do what is best for
the whole people.
Our own notion about the matter is that
the city should employ its own lamp lighter
and lamp cleaner, and light the lamps only
when darkness renders it necessary, and pay
for its gas by the thousand. The lamp-hghter
would then be under the control of some
committee and the city could economic as
much as possible on its gas bill, and use any
sized burners desirable. A trial of this plan
for few months would, at least, demonstrate
it is the best one or not.
The main thing the people want is q reduc-
ton in the price of gas, and that the city
council has the exclusive right to control,
has controlled, and should control. The de-
tails, as to public lamps, are a matter for
mutual arrangement between the parties.
