The City Council and License.

KdltoEs Of the Intslllgencer:
I see that several correspondents Of
your paper propose an election in April
10 decide the liquor license question.
The reason given ior holding this election
is that the present Council was not elected
on the Temperance basis. For one,
cannot see why these apologists for our
City Councilmen desire TO put the city to
the expense OF an election, but would will.
ingly risk the issue, knowing that two.
third vote would be against license.
But when did our Councilmen get 80
conscientious When they were elected
did they not solemnly swear 10 see the
laws OF the city entorced9 Then why is
II that liquor sellers who have violated
laws time and time again are shielded by
the action of Council9 Within the past
six months our worthy City Sergeant has
reported to Council quite number ol
liquor sellers who have forfeited their
license by being fined a third time ior
Sabbath liquor selling. These reports
one after another, were laid on the table
by these Councilmen who now desire to
shirk the issue. Why was the license oI
these offenders not revoked2 How soor
the solemn oaths Of Councilmen were for.
gotten! Our Councilmen and the Mayor
have SIoorn duties to perform, and II they
have not the nerve to lace the music, lei
them resign.
If we are to have an election, let 1t be tc
till vacancies occasloned by the resignation
Of Councilmen and other city officials
who favor and screen whisky dealers
Let Councilmen throw themselves upon
their constituents, and 1t will not be ont

will be elected, and then the laws will be
enforced. OLIVER,

We have thus explained at some length
the financial status Of the Pittsburgh,
Wheeling & Kentucky road, The slLua.
tion iS very easily understood and can be
summed up in a very few words. The
road now lies dead on our hands. All
the money invested in it by Brooke and
Ohio counties 10 q dead investment unless
by some means or other It Is pushed for
ward to completion. The Panhandle
Company say without qualification that
they can render no assistance for q year
to come. By that time II is hard to say
what the condition Of the road will be.
The two counties have no disposition to
raise more money, under present circum.
stances, wherewith to complete the road.
They are anxious, however, to have 1t
completed, and are no doubt willing TO
mortgage It Tor that purpose whenever q
good opportunity offers. We have little
doubt therefore that the present move
ment OF the Directors in favor Of issuing
mortgage bonds will be endorsed and
adopted by the Company.

The City Sergeant and the Law In
Regard 10 Screens.
For the IatelIIgencer.

For the IntellIgencer.
At the meeting held in Washington
Hall last night gentleman influenced BY
zeal without knowledge" cast reflec.
tions on our City Sergeant for not entorc
ing the law against liquor dealers. Feel
ing that injustice was done that worthy
official, l wish 10 state that the law for.
bidding the use "ot screens, frosted win,
dows, or any other device" in places
where liquor Is sold, Is a State law, not 0
city ordinance, and consequently the Ser.
geant has no authority to enforce It.
The public generally do not appear "a
understand the power conferred on the
Sergeant; nor do they know the number
OF violations reported by him and pun
ished by the Police Court. have exam
ined the records, and find that since De-
cember l, 1878, twelve violations Of the
ordinance regulating coffee houses have
been reported, the fines aggregating $225
or these cases but two were published In
the reports, for the reason that on the
other ten judgement was confessed in the
office Of the CLERK, and did not appear In
court, where the reports were gathered.
The gentleman also related an incident
he witnessed at a certain saloon in Cen
ire Wheeling. 1t Is well known that the
saloon referred 10 has no license, so that
every sale Is q violation OF the law. 1.-The
had reported the fact to an officer and
furnished the names OF the witnesses q
case would have been promptly made
and the offender punished.
| am in hearty sympathy with the tenn.
perance reform, and will do all in my
power TO assist it. But let us be careful
how we reflect upon innocent persons and
faithful officers who do more than the
public knows or gives them credit for.
Let our temperance friends be Vigilant
and give information 10 the proper officers
when the law Is infringed, but do not rise
In public and reflect on them until facts
can be brought to support the statements
made. 1t Is the duty Of every citizen
knowing the law to be violated In any re-.
spect to make complaint-not In public,
but to the proper officer, and II he fails to
do so he becomes pGrticeps criminis.
Another fact. The ordinance makes 1t
the duty OF the Sergeant "when any per-
son having license shall be second time
convicted oil any violation" Of the ordi-
named, ITO cause information 10 be given
to the Council, Tor the purpose Of having
such licenses annulled" Several months
ago the Sergeant reported to Council three
persons who had been convicted, but
Council took evasive action on the cases,
and did not annul the licenses This the
records and the proceedings Of Council,
as published at the time, will show.
