CONGRESsMEN IN COUNCIL.

What Are They Going To 10 About Us-A
Political Caucus mt the Fifth Avenue Hotel.
For the past few days distinguished trio OF poll.
ticians have been sojourning at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel-namely, senator Schurz, Speaker Blaine and
General Butler. That the three have not
met under the same roof without q purpose
has been more than surmised, as occurrences
that have taken place seem to indicate
that 1t was o concerted meeting. It Is well
known that Blaine and Butler have lattery been
bitter enemies and the mere fact OF the two being

Valuable Hints.

A regular hahi. Of body is absolutely es-
sentiaf to physical health and clearness OF
intellect. Nor is this all. Beauty OF per-
son canuO' co exist with an unnatural con-
Gi;:on Of The bowels. A free passage OF the
+, fuse matter Of the system through these
natural waste pipes, is as necessary to the
puritv ui the body as the free passage OF the
offal ~ a city through its sewers Is neceS-
sary 10 the health of its Inhabitants.
Indigestion Is the primary cause OF most
and one Of its most common results Is con-
stipation. This complaint, besides being
dangerous in itself, has many disagreeable
concOmitants-such as an unpleasant
breath, sallow skin, communicating blood
and bile, hemorrhoids, headache, loss OF
memory and general debility.
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters remove all
these evils by removing their immediate
cause in the digestive organs, and regulat-
ing the action Of the intestines. The com.
bination of properties in this celebrated
preparation is one of its chief merits. 1t Is
not merely stimulant or tonic, or an
antibillious agent, or nerVine, or a
blood depurent, or cathartic, but all these
curative elements judiciously blended In
one powerful restorative. 1t lends activity
and vigor to the inert and enervated stoni-
ach, relievesIthe alimentary canal of its OBJ
structions, and gives tone TO the membrane
which lines 1t, gently stimulates the liver.
braces the nerves, and cheers the animal
spirits. No other remedy possesses such a
variety Of hygienic virtues. II Is to these
characteristics that 1t owes its prestige as a
household medicine. Experience has
proved that II is as harmless as 1t is effica-
cious and hence il Is as popular with the
weaker sex as with the stronger.
Hostetter's Stomach Bltters are sold in
bottles only, and the trademark blown in
the glass and engraved on the label is the
test OF genuineness. Beware OF counter.

THE GAS ORDINANCES.

The City Councils at their meeting
last night finally adopted the ordinance
in relation to the management OF the
Gas Works, appointing Messrs. '''IEs
maxwell, JOHN McLCkE and CHRIS
TAN HESS to act as Trustees, and fixing
the price of gas to private consumers at
Two Dollars and Eighty cents per
thousand cubic feet. This reduction In
price will do very well as mere tempo
rary measure and We trust it is SO re-
garded by the Council. The price we
still insist upon, aud the only equitable
price to the citizens, IL simply the net
cost of production aid the per cent
provided in the ordinance for the pay
ment of the interest and principal OF the
gas loan. The city has absolutely no
right to demand one perry beTond this
and as soon as the exact Cos: OF Running
the work, is ascer;ained the price
should be adjusted accordingly.
The ordinance az adopted makes
no mention whatever OF the price
TO be paid by the city for gas con-
sumed in lighting the streets and public
buildings, and, so far as may be Judged
from the fact that there is no provision
TO the contrary, it is the intention that
the private consumers Of gas shall bear
the whole of this public expense. Trne.
one of the members of the First Branch
declared that it was the intention OF
the committee that framed that ordi-
nance that the city should continue to
be charged the same price as heretofore
paid to the Wheeling Gas Company
but the ordinance itself is ominously
and significantly silent upon the subject
While prescribing specifically the rate
TO be paid by private citizens, it omits
to say that the city shall be charged
anything for the gas consumed for the
benefit of the city at large.
We protest that the saddling Of
private consumers of gas with
the total expense of lighting the
streets is ,inequitable and unju st.
The consumers of gas bear their proper
proportion Of taxes for the expenses OF
the corporation, and should not have,
as a class, this additional burden put
upon them. With no less injustice
could they be compelled to pay the
total expense of the Police Department,
or the total cost of paving the streets.
We submit that such expenditures as are
for the benefit Of the city at large
should be made from the common fund
raised by taxation, and no one class of
citizens should be compelled, as they
are under this ordinance, to pay more
than their equitable share Of the COM
mon expense. We sincerely trust that
there may be found among the members
of the Council at its next meeting
enough friends Of the people and lovers
of fair play to amend the ordinance In
this particular and require the city to
pay for the gas it consumes precisely
