THE MARKET PRIVILEGE
Who Can Enjoy 1t?

Ever since the existence OF the pres
ent Council, there has, at odd times,
been spasmodic effort on the part OF
certain members to restrict the sale, in
the market houses, of certain articles.
Prominent among these, was the
member from the Second Ward,
Mr.. Larkin, who is also chairman
of the Committee on Markets. He has
introduced several resolutions one ordi-
nance and two petitions, all bearing on
the subject, but none OF which has been
productive of result. The complaint is
this: The spaces in the markets are oc-
cupied by dealers in shoestrings, patent
medicines, tinware, groceries, &c, &c,
10 the exclusion Of farmers who come
with farm produce to sell to citizens.
The other side claims that this is not
the case and that the farmers have all
the room they want. Mr.. Ankle says
the farmers DO not want the spaces, but
simply want 10 back their wagons up
10 the curb and sell from them. Further,
that when a peddler pays a license to
the city, he can sell where he pleases,
market house or elsewhere.
At its next meeting the Committee on
Markets will have this subject before 1t.
1t came up in Council on Tuesday and
caused a warm debate. Messrs. Logan,
Larkin and Il. +. Caldwell favored the
restriction and MeSsrs. Ankle and Kim
berry oppose it, The latter would prob.
ably have been non-committal had
not the resolution excluded every
thing but food and fuel. The last
word armed Mr.. Kimberly and
made him an enemy to the measure.
Mr.. Ankle perhaps opposed the restric-
ton on purely legal grounds-it one
man can sell there, why not another.
"The Others" said Mr.. Kimberly, "are
interested. For drugs are sold there,
DR.. Logan; and dry goods, Mr.. Larkin,
and tinware, Mr.. Caldwell"
The Market Committee is divided
against itself. Some of the members
favor the exclusion of everything but
food, and others are free traders"

ANOTHER POINT.
Is the Pending Ordinance H.
legal?

The ordinance authorizing the City
Clerk to pay out money on certincates
of the Street Commissioner and super
intendent OF the Water Works for tenn
porary labor, and which is now hanging
Ere between the two Branches Of Coun-
Gil, has attracted vast interest among
tax payers generally, and when Council
comes TO act upon it, eyes innumersble
will be riveted upon them; and it be-
hooves the average Councilman to go
along slowly. in casting his vote, and see
that he is fully alive to his situation.
Last night REGISTER representative
and member OF Council er oficio, en-
countered a prominent citizen OF the
Third ward and heard his views
on the pending ordinance. They
are not favorable to the doc
ument in any shape. In the
first place, he objects to
the ordinance was illegal, being in di-
rect conflict with provision OF the city
charter. Section "a states explicitly
that all expenditures of public money
shall be by a two-thirds vote OF both
Branches Of Council, or a majority vote
at two different times. The section has
been amended since, but not to effect
this provision, The amendment
provides for the annual appro-
priations, to be passed in like
manner. When the appropriation for
any one branch has been exhausted 1t
requires, TO renew it, four-tifths vote
OF both branches, or two-thirds vote
at two different meetings.
The point made by this gentleman Is
that Council cannot pass an ordinance
authorizing the payment OF money I'M
less it first appropriate specihc sum
to be paid in stated and fixed
amounts, as the salaries are paid, and he
holds that the pending ordinances, II
adopted, would be invalid.
Leaving this point aside, and allowing
the measure to be perfectly legal, he
also opposes it, as he claims it opens the
way TO the grossest corruption on the
part of the three officers Immediately
concerned, He puts it in this way
"Ten days before the election OF Clerk,
Commissioners and superintendent,
these three men can put force OF men
10 work TO canvass for them and pay
them with city money. The Commits
sioner and Superintendent can issue the
certificates and the Clerk can draw the
drafts on the treasury-a kind OF
tripartite agreement. The certificates
might come in and be paid and no one
the wiser. These men could carry any
election they chose. / just give this az
an example OF the corruption to which
this ordinance would pave the way, and
am astonished to see 80 many intelll.
gent members OF Council in favor OF it. "

The Hutchrson Family.

This grand old troupe of singers are
to give two of their soul-stirring concerts
in this city, this and tomorrow Friday
and Saturday evenings, at the Presby-
terrain church Tickets will be so cents ;
children half price. The Atchison daily
Champion says of the Hutchinsons. as
they are now organized:
Ii is not often that we speak of amuse-
ments on this page of the Champion.
Probably not more than twice in the
ten wears past have we done so. But the
concert given by the Hutchison family
last evening deserves unusual common
dation. Ii was an unusual entertain
ment. We have heard the old Hutch
inson family years ago and frequently.
The new generation ''of the tribe of
Asa" is far superior TO the old. They
do not sing with so much enthusiasm,
perhaps, but their voices show far more
culture. The old singers all had mag
nificent voices, but theirs was the melO-
DIV of natural gifts. The new generation
of singers has all the sweetness, vigOr
and compass that distinguished the old
supplemented by cultivation and train.
ing that has been careful, thorough and
judicious. Musical culture often results
in making performers who soar into the
infinite so 10 speak, and stay there,
away above the comprehension of uncul-
tivated ears. But the younger Hutchin-
sons have fine culture, and it has not
spoiled their voices; thorough musical
training, and it has not made them sing
for the musical artists alone, who alone
can appreciate singing of that sort. Their
music is faultless, their voices are eX-
quisitely trained, but they still sing for
the people, and delight them. Their
concert last night was the finest musical
treat we have had in Atchison for years.
