Drowned in a Cistern.

Wm Gould, an invalid, seventy-fve
years of age, who has been living with his
son-in-law, VIM. Forbes, on Colerain ave-
nue., short distance beyond the House OF
Refuge was drowned this morning by fall
ing into deep cistern filled with water, in
the rear of the house.
About o'clock he arose and went out, as
was his custom, but since he did not return,
the family became anxious and began 10
search for him. After hunting in every
other conceivable place, the cistern was
dragged, and there the body was found
about $50 o'clock.
The cistern was large one with wide
opening, and it is supposed that he fell in
accidentally, since there was nothing con-
nected with the affair which would lead his
friends to think otherwise.

TIE BEER QUESTION.


The reduction of beer to 81 so cents per keg,
or So per barrel and the sale at 8 cents peg
glass; has created considerable excitement
among the saloon-keepers, especially those
who are acknowledged to be some of tho
"big ones"
Mr.. Fred Roos, proprietor of the Allan
tic Garden, says that the saloon-keepeB
have been compelled to sell at cents Q
glass; but it is his opinion that it will be ths
ruination to all the big and respectable sa-
looms. I'VE must sell at that price, but L
we collapse by it, it is not our fault"
Mr.. Henry Heister, who keeps a saloon
and restaurant just opposite Mr.. Roos, says
that such saloons as are owned by tho
saloon-keepers themselves must close up
They could not secure an existence under
the system. Those owned by the brewers
could, OF course, keep open.
Mr.. Fridolin SChuman, of Vine street.
opposite the Colosseum, says that since Sun
day evening last he begun to sell beer at 3
cents per glass. His customers did not
want beer at that price, neither did they
want beer in schooners He did not intend
to sell beer hereafter unless at the old price
He did not think that the big saloons could
keep up under the three-cent system.
Mr., Joseph Graeff says that it is impossi-
BILE to make respectable profit by selling
beer at cents. The system was god

expenses to meet 1t was death to the big
ones.
Mr.. ]. J. Abbihl of Pearl and Walnut
was of similar opinion. The same story
was told by Mr.. Albert Springer, President
of the Saloon-keepers' Association, Council
man NJ. Gramp, of Fourteenth and Elm
streets, and dozen or more others.

The Registry Law.

Assemblyman Finn made a
speech the other day in opposition
to the Registry Law. He spoke OF
it as "an outrage and fraud" He
did not believe that there were
three persons in Watertown who
were in favor of Registry Law at
all. He denounced it in strong
terms, and claimed that the only
way to secure purity in elections
was to make the people pure.
What there is about the law which
should entitle him to declare it San
outrage and a fraud" does not ap-
pear. AS a matter of fact, Finn
and Democrats generally are op-
posed to the law simply because
under its provisions it is more diff
cult for them to commit "outrages
and frauds,'' than it was formerly.
The favorite Democratic practice of
voting early and often cannot be
INDUCED in SO extensively as they
desire, and hence they clamor for
the repeal of the law. No intelli-
gent person will claim that there
are as many illegal votes cast now
in Watertown as there were form
erly. And yet, the unpopularity of
the Registry Law here, where the
poll at every election precinct is
differed by Democrats, is SO grea,
that the full benefits to be derived
from an honest observance Of it are
not enjoyed. 1t is still fresh in the
minds of the people how the Demo
cratic Board of Street Commission
ers last fall named Democrats ex
clusively for inspectors of election
in some of the wards, notwithstand-
ing the law says both political par
ties shall be represented. But per-
haps this is the kind of soutragt
and fraud'' that Finn was deprecat
ing If so, we thank him for hi
denunciation oft, but we apprehene
that his anathemas were hurled a
the law from another standpoint.

May Goth, 1851, by the Postmaster
General of the Confederate States, in
structing postmasters of the Unitei
States Government in the South to
retain in their possession, subject to
further order of the department, for
the benefit of the Confederate States,
all mail bags and other property be
longing for the postal service. That
was knock-down from which Reagan
and his bill could hardly have recov-
cred. but it was Immediately followed
by Mr.. Willetts, who gave the lie
direct and circumstantial to the ex-re-
bel Postmaster-General, by proving
from the Confederate records that
eighteen of these claims had been
audited and paid, and the Confederate
Government had gone so far as to pro-
vide that, if the United States Govern
ment should thereafter pay them, the
contractors should reimburse the Con-
federate Government for the amounts
paid them. He also quoted from the
report made by Mr.. Reagan, as the
Confederate Postmaster-G General, in
which be credited himself with $780,
600 paid on account Of services rem.
dered prior to May 3lst, 1861. This
was squelcher, and Mr.. Reagan, con-
fused and abashed by these exposures
which came upen him like thunder
from clear sky, begged for time in
which to give the matter further exam.
suation. Probably no more will be
heard of this bill for the present.
But it is only "skotched, not killed"
When the signs are right, it will be
sprung upon Congress again. BY the
way, those rebel archives, the purchase
Of which by the Government was
objected to so strongly by some, has
proven good investment, But how
long does any one suppose they would
be suffered to remain where they are
if the Democrats were in full possession
of the Government. They would be
stolen or destroyed in less than week,
as they are too formidable altogether as
a barrier between the South and its con
templated raids upon the treasury, to
make them longer tolerable to that
ection.

THE Democrat takes unnecessary
pains to deny, what no one has ever
asserted, that the members of the
Board of Street Commissioners in
1855 were elected as Republicans.
As stated by that sheet, and as be-
fore remarked by us, they were the
nominees of the Citizens Associa-
ton, though the fact happened to
be that politically a majority were
Republicans. All that we claim is
that these ''Republican Citizens" or
''Citizen Republicans" gave the city
the cheapest and best administration
it ever had; and if the other side
will now put forward some "Demo-
cratic Citizens" or "Citizen Demo-
Gratis" who will do equally well,
horors will be easy. Until this is
done, however, or SO long as the
Democratic machine grinds out
such material as it is in the habit of
filing the city offices with, the
Democrat will have to confess that
its party does not fully meet the
reasonable demands of taxpayers, in
providing for a judicious, econo-
mical and satisfactory conduct of the
city government. That is our
point. Now, Mr.. Democrat, will

in session at Iowa City, adjourned last

things, to make beer plenty as the best
way to prevent drunkenness; that
within three months this association

breweries in the State, and all who re,
fuse to join it will be regarded as enc.

the association; that the object of tn is
close organization is to make war

wine and beer; and that the business
is legitimate and honorable. This is
the substance of what this brewers
