The HOTELS The adjourned meeting of the
hotel proprietors of the city met at the Fal
mouth Saturday afternoon, but as their legal
counsel, Hon. w. L. Putnam, was absent the
meeting adjourned until to-day. They propose
to memorabilia the Board of Trade asking them
to assist in protecting them against the prohlb-
itory law by some action that will cause the
Legislature to make some distinction in their
favor. They say that they do not wish to be
rumsellers, but ask permission to furnish thei
guests with glass of wine if they call for it.
If they cannot be allowed to do this they pro-
pose to close their houses as they cannot afford
to keep open and pay the fines which are i'm
posed upon them, They do not propose to defy
the law, but simply say that unless they can be
considered in the matter every hotel in the city
will be closed. However, the public need not
be alarmed. There is not the slightest proba-
bility that a single hotel will be closed. The

THE ARTFUL DoDGER.-We do not like to
get into a controversy with the argus. 1t is
not safe. That journal carries on warfare like
Chinese piratical junk, overcoming its ad-
versary by the loathsomeness of the stink-potS
which it harls. But we must be allowed to
call attention to the manner in which it has
attempted to discredit our statement that no
seizure of explosive oil has been made at the
store of B. Adams & Sons. Confidently rely
ing upon the probability that DO man of taste
ever thoroughly peruseS an argus item that is
longer than stickful, that paper artfully sets
out with the declaration that the facts substan-
tate its statement, and then gives version Of
the facts which quite contradict it. 1t feels
sure that its patrons will read the opening
statement, but never trouble themselves to read
further
Marshal Parker says he made no seizure.
Mr. Adams says the same, and so informed
the Argsts Fridoy. .he reputation of thes"
gentlemen for veracity is much better than
that of the argus we prefer to believe them.
Further, the burning oil in question is not
naptha, and Mr.. Bartlett says that he has
found it impossible to explode it as ordinarily
used. 1t has never been recommended as
good for taking out grease from clothing, and
Mr.. Adams does not sell it for that purposes
He has sold it to many gentlemen of this city,
among them the president of the gas company,
during the last four years, and never an acct
dent has resulted. Mr.. Bartlett has not brand
ed the oil as unsafe.
We make these statements in justice to Mr..
Adams and Marshal Parker, and purpose to
close the controversy here. We do not ques-
ton the endeavoys of the Argus ito get all the
news there is going, and to be accurate in state
ments," but regret it does not meet with bet
ter success The Argus is an old and well-es-
tablshed paper. It has made its mark in
iournalism-aud that mark is a smooch.
AT the conclusion of its correction" it says:
perhaps we (the Argus) manufactured the
statement of the passenger from the Georgia"
Well, Mr.. Argus, the passenger says you did
