The tub system is proving to be some
what of q nuisance under the existing mon
agement. A number of families have
adopted them and abandoned or closed
their privy vaults, end find now that the
tubsso far from being an improvement, are
a very disagreeable alragenment. Under
the ordinance requiring citizens to use
these tubs instead of vaults, the city is
compelled to send cart around at regular
times to gather them up; end property is
taxed to detray the expenses of running
these carts. This was complied with for a
a short time but the practice has now en-.
tirely ceased to the great inconvenience of
those citizens who have complied with the
ordinence The attention Of those who's
duty it is to either carry out the ordi1auces
or annul them is respectfully called to his
state of affairs.

The ROSTERS which our CONT ex.
changes trotted out the the day after the
Maine election still crows, and is in splen-
did health Complete returns from every
precinct in Maine gives the State to Plais-
ted by one hundred and seventy four ma
jority. The Republicans may say the vote
will not be canvassed by the Legislature
until January; but do we have to wait here
until the vote at our city election is can
vassed before we know the result Cen
wasting is q mere Formally. The returns
are all in now, and we have got the State,
and if the election was not over a week old
we would be In favor of burning a tar bar
rel and firing common. The first gun of
the campaign is ours. Senator Blaine said,
"As goes Maine so goes the Union" We
are willing to take his word for it.
1t will probably interest some people
in Caro- to know that the State Liquor
Dealers Association, at its last meeting
held in Chicago on the q I'd inst. adopted
resolutions settling forth that enemies Of
personal liberty are constantly attempting
by statute to bring al ,ut condition o.
affairs in the liquor traffic similar to that in
| Maine, and have succeeded in getting
adopted VIGOROUSLY unjust measure, calcu
lated to make the calling of the liquor
dealer and manufacturer odious. The reso
lutions then declare the convention vii
proceed to organize a State Association O.
members Of the trade and oppose the pro
visions of the dram.shop act end othel
hostile legislation, and will call to stric
account members Of the legislature, enc
use their united power to prevent the cleo
ton of men too cowardly to resist the allure
ments Of temperance women or too stupiC
to comprehend the vicious effects of stump
tuary legislation.
Some indignation is felt by those o
our citizens who own cows because the Gil,
authorities permit Texas cattle tree passage
through, and, in fact, to remain in the CITY
when it IS well known that they endange
the healthy stock wherever they 90. Herd:
OF these cattle are taken from the pasture
of Texas, crowded into cars and are KEEP
without proper food or water tor day
while being transported to the northern
markets. As may be expected they sickel
and die by scores and the carcasses arr
dropped of by the way as theypass,onto thei
destination, They come here by train loads
and are kept in the stock yards for day
awaiting shipment, the dead ones bein!
