1t is pleasant to commend the efficiency
Of public officers. The energetic Mayor of
this city has sternly interdicted the gross
immortality of newsboys crying their wares
on Sunday. 1t is true he allows brass bands
to play on that day at beer gardens to the
encouragement Of two female walkists, but
then this is not SO demoralizing as hawking
ribald and icentious Sunday newsboys uri-
der the very noses of citizens. His efforts
to reform gamblers by placing them on the
police force Will also commend him to the
regard of moral men particularly. Give
the energetic Mayor JUSTICE.
