City Engineer

We stopped into Sangers' yesterday
on matter of business and found the
worthy chief and his small army Of re.
tainers in his elegant new Office In the
centre of the establishment, surround
ed with tlagons of sparkling wine,
drinking to the health of Mas
ter Elias Sanger, the latest and best ad-
dition to the stock, and who had only
just been subject to the Jewish rite of
circumcision. 1t was u joyous occa
sion, and many and hearty were the
wishes for the rapid advancement OF
the young fellow, and for the future
health and happiness of Mr.. and Mrs.
Phillip Sanger.

Poverty and Denth.

Some two weeks ago, there arrived
in the city from st. Louis an aged
couple named Bouring. The wife was
suffering from the ravages of that
terrible disease, consumption, and was
advised by her physician to come
south. Arriving in this city she was
so much enfeeblod by the trip that
they were compelled to stop. Renting
house on Jefferson street, near the
corner of Jackson, they moved in.
Since that the old lady has gradually
wasted away, and died at 7 O'clock,
Friday evening. The journey to this
place had exhausted what little means
they had, and they found themselves
strangers in strange land, without
means and powerless to make
livelihood, the husband being old
and intlrm, while the condl-
ton of his vito called for his
constant attention. Yet sympathetic
neighbors called in and did much to
ameliorate the suflerings of the de-
ceased. Being of Catholic faith, Father
Martinier called and administered the
last rites of his church to the dying
woman. She was buried yesterday
afternoon from the house they had oo-
cupied.
"No black plumed hearse went slowly
sweeping by,
N suits OF woe or masks of misery,
No long procession winding TO the tomb
lts serpents length OF simulated gloom"
We understand that the old man Is
sorely grieved at the loss OF his wife,
and fully deserves the support and
sympathy of our citizens. The MEM
oers of Thompson's troupe appear to
have been the only ones who came to
the assistance of the poverty-strcken
pair

The mnrEo, question,

A good deal has been said about the
course pursued by THE HERALD with
regard 10 tho butchers and the city
council. We reour to the matter 10 re-
state our position and 10 show that
THE HERALD has reason to give for
most that II urges.
In the frat place, the sort Of pro-
scriptlve legislation which prevents Il
man from selling what no chooses,
where he chooses, and when he
choose, Ia wrong, and does vio-
lonce to the fundamental principles
OF our free government. Second,
II tends TO place n very large and i'm
porlant business In the hands OF few
men, and the danger OF combina-
ton against the consumer, Ia always
enhanced when the business IL cons
cenlrated In one house, or In the
hands of one or ten men and nobody
else. Open our markets freely 10 all
who wish either TO sell or by and IL
would be nearly impossible TO make a
combination against consumers, who
are often poor and, whose necessltous
circumstances would make an advance
of even cent pound in beef matter
Of serious import to them.
II is the duty Of the city council TO
protect the interests OF the corpora
ton, but, In doing 30, the prime object
would be defeated II the citizen is put
to Inconvenience or increased cost. In
forcing the butchers and market-deal-
ers to go to the city arket.houses to
sell their produce, we force every citi-
zen to go there TO buy. Now, as we
said Che other day, If our wants can be
No cheaply and AZ well supplied just
across the street, il ~ n hardship to us
to be forced TO walk Il half mile or less,
as the case may be. We trust the
'cauncil will take glance at both sides
Of this matter, and that 1t will not
without heat or undue haste in forcing
the observance of the ordinance. How
ever, no matter what the final action
is every good citizen, both seller and
consumer, must obey the law, and put
his face steadily against Its infringe
ment.
