against the Tammany thieves, and we
fear the citizens Of tic metropolis are
going to let the present opportunity Of
Kidding themselves Of their municipal

closures, the general verdict will be that
they ought to be pluudered ten times
worse in the future than in the past.

dorsed By the board Of Aldermen as
proper persons to sell for mechanical pur-
poses, but they, like their brother drug +
gists require no prescription aud make no
record Of sales. This Is the sort Of pro-
hibition which prevails in most Of the .
cities OF the commonwealth just at present /
