REGARDING RESTAURANT LICENSES.
Respectfully Referred to Police Commits
sioners.


sionera
Editor National Republican
Why Is II that our Board Of Police Commits
sioncrs make such unjust determinations IN
the matter Of granting restaurant licenses
They have certainly shown as much favoritism
oil the one hand rs they have prejudice upon
the other Why not treat all alikoH Either
cease granting licenses TO any or give to oil
who comply with the law tho same chance,
and hold them all to u strict accountability for
any violation of the same. l presume there is
a law in regard to this matter, with certain
penalties attached for those who violate It. IL
So enforce II; but DO not mako the innocent
suffer FOR the guilty; 1t is unjust. My object
in calling the attention of the public to this
matter is rs follows:
A friend Of the writer applied to the Board
of Commissioners for n license, but WAS repeat
edly refused. Now, the house where he in:
tended opening this restaurant has been closed
for six or seven years, and the proprietor, or
the party making application never Kept n
house OF the kind. He is a gentleman OF un.
blemishcd character; consequently the refusal
to grant him license could not have been
based upon any violation of law. Moreover,
In the same locality, within less than one
square of his place, upon either side there are
three or four houses Of the same kind in illll
blast. Why, then, and upon what grounds 90
they refuse to issue u license TO him? The
action of the board in this case looks suspi.
cious. If there is any law In the District, l
think they should be compelled to conform to
1t, without fear, favor, or affection, or the hops
of reward outside of their salaries. Under
these circumstances think Congress has done
well in framing the new District bill, aud dc.
serve the thanks Of the downtroddcn ana
much governed people of this city for abolish
ing the Police Board J. +. p.

Putting a Bull to the Test,

They had discussion over ct Miller's,
the other day, about bulls. Mr.. Miller
said it was all nonsense to talk about
bull beng excited and made furious by
z red rag. He aaid he had an ugly. tenn
pered Devon bull over in the next Aeld
who would take it like a lamb if you
should shake the flags of all nations in
his face. Dr. Robinson said that Miller
daren't try it, and then Miller bet Rob-
inson that he would So Miller went
into the house and loaded himself up
with red flannel rndershirt, and we
all walked out to the field. The bull
was there, looking as calm as summer
morning. Miller climbed the fence,
and went toward the animal, keeping
the shirt behind him. AS he came close
to the bull he suddenly produced the
shirt and firted it in the bulls face.
The beast jumped back yard or two in
establishment, and kept his eyes on
Miller, while Miller waved the old YER
million garment vigorously. Then the
bull shook his head several times as if
he declined to have anything to do with
the business; and Miller turned toward
US and put his thumb to his nose and
wagged his fingers. While he was max
ing his signal Of victory, an idea seemed
to strike the bull. He put his head
down and moved swiftly forward.
Miller at first thought there had been
an earthquake. He was hurled up
twenty feet, and, when he struck the
ground, he made another ascension.
Upon his descent he thought he would
run, but q Devon short-horn w8s in
serted in his trousers, and again he went
up high enough to take bird 's-eye view
of the surrounding country. On the
twenty fifth descent he fell on the other
side OF the fence from the bull, and we
picked him up. His clothes were in
ribbons. His nose was furled and
bloody, and his mouth was full of grass
and mud.
We asked him how he felt, but he
said nothing. We inquired concerning
the condition of his bones, but he made
no reply. We asked if his views about
bulls had undergone any change, but he
walked silently along. We wanted to
know how he enjoyed the scenery the
last time he was up, but he would not
say. He merely went into the house,
filled up both barrels of his gun with
old nails and screws and scraps of iron,
and then he went out to interview that
bull The animal was a corpse in ten
minutes, and then Miller peeled his un-
dcrshirt and went upstairs to bed.
We know what his views are now, al
though he doesn't express them freely
-Nor Adeler.
