The business of door-rnat "lifting'' was
organized last week. With little effort We
think we could find some of the members and
we might relieve them by furnishing them
board and lodging gratuitously for term.

Our Mayor is likely to be of considerable
service to the Council the present year. On
last Monday evening he handed two or three
papers to councilmen to offer, and took gen
eral oversight of affairs. This is kind, and
besides, he will by SO doing feel that he is do
ing something to earn his salary. !.
MIR. ]. Wesley White, of Trenton, was
killed near Penn Valley, Bucks Co., on Mon
day. Mr. w. was standing on the platform
of one of the cars of the first morning
Belvidere Division train down, and had his
head extended beyond the line of the cars
just then another train came along and struck
him, taking off the top of his skull and scat
seling his brains on the truck and cars.

Some persons expect us to be very severe
ON the doings of the new Council. We do
not know that that would be just fair. The
people who voted for them are the responsible
ones-not the Connclmen who do simply
what they were elected to do. If the Council
licenses men to do evil, the responsibility
mainly rests on a number of professed Christ
ians in the Second Ward who pray to God and
serve the devil by voting and working for the
rum traffic, aided by few hypocritical tenn
perance men, who talk temperance and secret
ly vote license. This may sound very blunt,
but it is the truth.

We regret that modesty prevented our
friend Barron, of the First Ward from ac-
cepting the position of President of Council.
Several of his friends urged him to accept,
but he thought he was not sufficiently posted
in parliamentary law to fill the position. He
has the same opportunities to learn by practi-
cal experience as others, and we are sorry he
declined Oar Ward was entitled to the hon
or, and as Mr.. B. is the only member of the
Council all precedent demanded his appoint
ment. We are glad to sec, however, that he
is likely to be of use on the floor and will
probably be the leader of the Democratic
forces. We noticed that Mayor Sergeant en-
trusted him with the resolutions and ordi-
nances he (the Mayor wished offered

We consider that it is our duty, being re-
sident of the First Ward, to stand up for its
rights and its dignity. Last week we put in
a claim in its behalf for three or four licenses
for hotels. Now we are informed that carpet
baggers from the Second Ward have been dis
suading three of the parties from applying
and therefore there will be but one applica-
ton from the banner whiskey ward. This
interference from outside is disgraceful be-
cause it is made so that the Second Ward may
have three licensed bars. What right has
the Second Ward to claim three licenses and
then ask the First Ward to be satisfied with
one or none? Where the whiskey element is,
there should the element whiskey be Isn't
that so ? If not, wherefore The Second
Ward should not put on airs. If it had not
been for the colonizers sent over from the
First Ward, it is not certain that the Second
Ward would have elected its license ticket.
When ward sends over its braves who defy
law and decency, and do not hesitate even to
perjure themselves, it is ungrateful not to re-
cognize the deed by giving them all the no.
tel accommodations and whiskey they want
especially the whiskey.
