- Men differ upon matters that
equally affect the interests of all. For
instance, upon the question of saloons
in Brownville, some of our citizens ex-
press the opinion, honestly no doubt,
that prohibition is killing the town,
that eveTybody's interest is suffering,
as set forth in the petition we publish
in these columns, to-day. See the
names thereto attached. The business
men, big and little, amongst these
names, those who really care, or have
rational thought on the subject, num-
her about % and can be easily recOg-
nized by those familiar with BrOwnville
business men. With due respect to
these gentlemen the facts demand of
us to say that most of them pay very
little tax, some of them no tax at all
on real estate; and with two or three
exceptions are from second rate on down
the scale, in a business point of view.
Now in opposition to that petition
men who as honestly believe that sa-
looms are not a source upon which de-
pends the veal or woe of the CITY,
who believe in fact that business is
really better without than with saloons
We name such men as II. c. Lett,
Stevenson g. Cross, W. H. McCreery,
John l.. Carson. r. 7. Rainey, L. Me
Gee. B. NJ. Bailey, Luther HOadley
Robert Teare, Ii. II. DOlen. T. c. Hack
er, \. II. Gilmore, W. III. Hoover, J. S.
Minick. 4. W. Nickel, and many more
whom we might name These names
comprise the heaviest business and
tax PAYERS of the city. who believe
BrOwnville not in the least hurt by the
absence of saloons: and You can pick
out of these names a half dozen, who,
we believe. pay more taxes and own
more property here than the whole 81
on that petition. And then the prOhi-
bitionists have a reason, founded on
facts and figures. for their opinion,
tO-wit: that business was never better
in the city than it was last year, whilst
the others rest their case upon tie
quicksands of bare assertion.

"A farce was presented for public
criticism in our city council last Mon
day evening, which had about equal in
fuence upon ones bumps of miTth and
pity. 1t was the furious attempt upon
the part of the whisky end of the cOun-
ell, in the absence of one of the tenn
perance end, to amend the druggist or
dinance so as to transmOgrify it into a
saloon ordinance. They had never
been informed that it must be an act of
the Legislative body, or an ordinance, to
amend an act, law, or Ordinance-that
a motion to amend an ordinance can
properly be made only by moving am
other ordinance. which has to pass
through the same readings and rOutineS
that do original ordinances. Having
the majority for the occasion, we under
stand that they absolutely voted to pass
the ordinance, after some amendments,
which still left it utterly inappropriate
for the thing they intended it. had it
been legally passed. Ordinances that
become valid laws have to be read at
three several meetings unless the rule
is suspended. but requires a three
tolrthS vote to suspend the rule. So
it is hardly possible that any ordinance
can be passed by getting the drop on
'em." as is bOasted will bedOne. Them
terests of the people are well protected
in this respect, and there will always
be time and opportunity for all mem-
belS to be present before important
measures are cOnSummated.
Now we desire to say further that
the periodical stirring up of the Old
stink is not the business nor the wish
of the anti-SalOon portion of the coun-
ell. They consider that question sc
fixed and settled, for the present, that
there is no earthly use of members
bringing it up to occupy the time OF
! the council that could be used for tn,
promotion Of the varied interests OF
the city. We have heard it charged
falsely however, that the old counci
paid attention to the whisky and bee
question to the exclusion of more i'm
portant business. Now, and here W.
give notice, that if the saloon question
is to mOnOpOlize the attention of thi;
council during the year, the advocate,
of saloons will be solely responsible
/ for it.

SHERIDAN ITEMS.

- Mr.. Farris of Kansas, has located

- Mr.. Thomas Keedy, of Maryland

- There was quite an interesting
law suit in Sheridan Monday. The
constable after gobbling several dol
lars fees for a few hours work
begged of the parties not compromise
ON his account.
- Rev. Weber was announced to
preach in Sheridan on last Thursday
night and an effort was to be made to
organize Presbyterian Society, but
when the Rev. reached town and found
that the church was not lighted he
turned around and started for Brown
vile. Some who had come a great
distance were sOrely disappointed and
were disposed to blame the Rev. for
his haste, but when they learned that
he had come all the way from Brown
Vile all SOuJ alone and that he must re-
turn likewise and without anv com
pany either they concluded that he pre-
ferred the solitude of his lonely ride, to
the breaking of the bread of life to Il
sleepy congregation.
- Hundreds of cattle are daily pass
ing through Sheridan, on their way to
green prairies farther west.
- Sheridan is to have school meet
