HE Hoe LAw.-Wc congratulate
our fellow citizens; we make m obedi-
ent salaam to our Mayor and Council,
and we offer to the hogs q cheerful
lasting and sincere farewell. The hog
law is passed and will be enforced on
and after September 18th, and our
senses vii. be no more shocked with
the abominable nuisance of hogs riot
ing and marauding over the town.
This has been al oldfight. The press
has hit hard blows, but the hogs wc,c
not scared. The oard of Health made
prcscntment to the former council
that met coldrcception. Brickbats,
horsewhips, clubs and pistols were
used but the hogs were AU rAIT. Now
comes an ordinance; Law is supreme
when it has no Moses to turn the hogs
out of pen, and the pork raisers must
look to the fine. There will many a
jolly run for the marshal to catch the
first violating gruntcr on the streets,
and good "catch dog" (Spot) would
be a valuable adjunct to the enforce
ment of the law. That one cared sow
with no tail, that feeds on old shoe
solcsa sand shavings stand the bestchance
of freedom. she can go through pa
ling fence, and if the dog is on the
carless side he cannot hold her.

THE New DEror.-No humbug
this time; there is to be depot, and
the company proposes an entire change
of Elan. The trick will run between
the freight and passenger depots, Civ
ing safety and comfort. The depot
will be about So feet long and 25 feet
wide. There will be areception room,
an agents office, ard telegraph office.
We suggest a place for a restaurant,
some enterprising vender of cakes and
fruit will do well there. Look out
this lime for the new depot. That loop
hole and railroad spike will be thing
of the past.

The question at the next election to
be decided is high taxation. The peo-.
pie, by this we mean the voters have
it in their power to say whether men
shall be elected who favor huge taxes
to be afterwards gobbled up and spec
ulated with, or men who WILDE elected
on merit, to do their best for an econ
omical and honest government. AT
present the prospect for change for
the better looks rather gloomy.

Our subscribers will oblige us by
sending in tho names of those town

believe it the best move toward ensur-
ing reform and reducing taxes ever
started.

CITIZEN is not posted OH the tax
union question, and once for all we
state that any idea of secrecy or desire
to conceal its plan from, any honest
man white or colored, which may have
been charged to it is without IL shadow
offoundation. Wewill give Citizen n
chance Of lending aid ut the next
meeting.

BASE BALL--The Glade base ball
club of this place left here on Friday OF
last week 10 play a return match game
with the '-Socials, of Mt. Pleasant. The
game took pace on the following day
Saturday. Unfortunately for our boys in
blue and white, they were defeated, the
game at the close OF the las: inning stand

The game was a very closely contested
one as the score indicates. 1t was hardly
TO be expected that victory would perch
upon the banners of the 'Glades, their
organization being Of recent date, whilst
the 'Socials' have been an organized club
for some SIX years. We believe, and have
been PLAYING match games in all the sur
rounding towns. The honorable defeat Of
the "GlaGcs' plueks not a single laurel
from their brow.

FIRE CRAcKERs-We think that every
sensible person will admit that what are
known as Chinese Fire Crackers, are a
very great nuisan esas well as a very tx
pensive one. Millions OF dollars worth of
property have been destroyed in our coun-
try within a few years past through the
agency Of these foolish and annoying Fire
Crackers 1t is but a few years since the
city OF Portland was pretty much destroy
ed from the explosion Of fire crackers in
the streets. At that time there was much
talk Of the prohibition Of the importation
and sale OF these fire crackers by act Of
Congress. We believe the whole country
would have rejoiced at this prohibition. II
was not done, however, and every year
since Jul country has suffered great loss
from these explosive missils. On the last
Fourth Of July quite a number OF very de-
s~truciive fires occurred in different parts OF
the country. directly traceable to the burn
ing Of Fire Crackers. The losses By four
fires alone aggregated 0Der Ldf q million
If dollars. Allegheny City, Pa, $780,

$3.50, coo. This, doubtless, is not more
than half the losses sustained on that sin
gle day efum the use of Fire Crackers.
What, we would ask, have we in return to
compensate for these s%tupendous losses?
Nothing at all, unless il be tie annoyance
to ladies and gentlemen On the street by
having these burning crackers thrown IN
der their clothes or in their faces by impu-
dent and unmanGerly boys. Then Why
not entirely prohibit the importation and
sale of this nuisance. We hope that SEN
SHE people everywhere viii make this de
mand Of their Representatives al the next
session OF Congress, and that we may be
done recording the terrible casualties that
arise from the explosion of Fire Crackers.
