the appraisals made by the Inspectors and
recent appraisers differ in the sum of 81, ST.

no more than might be reasonably expected,
having regard to the time and manner in
which the appraisals were made and the
amounts and kind of the property appraised.

changes in the law affecting the manner of
employing help at the prison, and in keeping

hearings, the Legislative investigation Of the

been compelled to listen to or report the
tedious details Of the, examination must ad
nit, as all we are sure are ready to, that not
particle of testimony has been produced re-
flecting upon the management Of the institu-
ton or the unfaithfulness or irregularities
of any of its officers. Many who before
the investigation had sort of vague idea
that something was wrong at the institution
that huge cat was lurking under the meal
have been totally disarmed, and are con-
WINGED that their fears were entirely ground
less. The prison and its officers stand all
the better for the investigation. and they
stood well enough before.

GREAT MEETING OF THE FRIENDS OF
TEMPERANCE.
In Darts Hall Tonight.

1t is expected that there will be an i'm
mense meeting in Darts Hall, this even
ing for the purpose of assuring our new
City Council that public sentiment, and
good order, and good government, and the
finances Of the city, require that saloon Ii
censes be raised to $500 year. That is
what the temperance people claim.
They also claim that the present ordi-
nance is not enforced and they ask that
the Mayor and Aldermen regard their
oaths of Office and stric tly enforceit. They
ask that the Marshal and Deputy Marshal
and the Policemen be instructed to enforce
it strictly and impartialy, The ordinance
was published, mot long since, three times in
this paper, and its provisions are known by
our readers.
They also say, inasmuch as the ordi-
nance fixes no hour at night when saloons
shall be closed, that the Council should
amend it by fixing the hour at not later
than o'clock. And they give as rea-
son for this, that nearly if not all the rows.
fights, robberies, fires, etc., occur after 10
or i clock, and generally in consequence
of Incorporate drinking They say that
large numbers Of men and boys pass their
nights in these saloons, playing games and
drinking, going home intoxicated, at late
hours, after having lost considerable sums
Of money,-and then are nearly worthless
for work or business the next day
The temperance people claim that if the
license was raised to $500 the revenue
would be increased, and the number of sa-
looms reduced. They claim that if they
were clOsed,a at latest, by | / o'clock at nj ght,
it would be vastly better for those who fire.
quent them. They claim that they should
be entirely closed on Sundays, and on
Sunday nights, back and front
And they ask that the Council carry out
their views on these questions, claiming
that they represent large majority of the
voters, the taxpayers and property inter-
ests of the city. If they can show the
Council that the majority of the people
demand this course, it will clearly be the
duty of the Council to carry that policy
into effect. The will of the people, fairly
ascertained should ALWAYS be needed by
their representatives.
The meeting will, no doubt, be largely
attended, and the members of the Council
ought to be present and judge for themselves
in regard to public sentiment on a ques-
ton which is absorbing so much attention
throughout the country
