The beer drinkers Of Lexington are
loud in their complaints OF the small
ness of the tumblers used by the saloon
keepers in selling that beverage. They
say thatover half of what is in the tum-
bier is loan, and that after the foam is
blown of what little is left does not near
ing news to advocates of temperance.
But the more money the beer costs, the
less there Will be left to buy bread for
the family. Our province Is simply to
reflect public opinion so that wrongs
may be righted.
Our mechanics, or what few are left Of
them, demand the repeal of the ten per
cent. law. They say that it is an excuse
used by landlords to charge more rent
for their dwellings than the houses are
worth. Rents are entirely too high in
this city, and the avaricious owners Of
property will be forced by necessity to
relinquish their grasp on the producer
and mechanic.
Another holy alliance is about to be
formed by three newspaper men to break

masters.
AS our election is now over, strong
hopes are entertained that we may have
an improvement in business matters. In

first-class dwellings labeled for sale or
rent. The reason given for this state Of
affairs, is that landlords are too exact.

the city, rent being quite as high as In

much larger aggregate OF business is
done. Our business men are dispirited
under the circumstances, and say that
unless rents and the arbitrary rate of
interest on money 10 per cent. is re-
duced no improvement need be expected.
In most business towns the quection of
rate on money is like the price of any
other article Of merchandise. 1t is worth
only what it will command. With us
the rate is arbitrary-10 per cent. or lie
idle.
