sung in the hopelessness Of sick.room, or

charming glory ofthese heaven-born virtues,
and eneircled with the coronet of duty,
there are Florence Nightingales and Vic
torias that tend the bivouac fires of despair
and are ever pressing forward in the
forlorn hope of rescuing some loved one
or endeavoring to alleviate the pains and

or keeping in everlasting remembrance

wife of king or the sister of an assassin,

Gated at D. Goslin's China
Hall, on Elm Street, where
you have the advantage of
seeing the different styles be-
fore making selections and save
freight and delay. 1t can be
readily ascertained that in Sill

Lamp Goods, no house in St.
Louis or elsewhere receives a
better discount than does D.
Goslin. China, Tea and Din
ner sets are offered here in a
greater variety than in any re-

importing them direct and in
unbroken packages brings pri-
ees down as low as anywhere.
Look at the Fancy Goods,
Baskets, Crockery, Looking

for yourselves whether the Chi

VIZ learn that according to Milanese
Journal, the project of one Of the largest
and most influential cities of Italy has gone
back to the customs of the feudal age in the
management ofhis laborers. He obliges
his field hands during the grape harvest to
wear an iron muzzle so as to prevent them
from tasting a few punches of grapes. The
fact was noticed, it is said, year ago, but
the project still represents the government
and grinds down his servitors. This is
slavery in every sense of the term.

TUE constitution amounts to something
after all. The president has persisted in
placing his late nominees in the offices for
which they were nominated, notwithstand-
ing the fact the senate failed or refused to
confirm them. In the case of the district
attorney for the southern district of Ala
bama, however, he is met with the consti-
tutional objection that there is an executive
officer and in the case of failure by the
senate to notify his successor can only be
removed by impeachment, This is at pres
ent impossible and the incumbent /. bound
to hold over despite the desire of Mr.. Ar
thur to select another for the position.

We hear cheering reports from a

vass is being vigorously pushed in
securing signatures to the Petition
to the Legislature. But from many
counties we hear nothing at all
Perhaps the canvass is just as brisk
in these counties, however, as in
those from which we get reports
Let me urge again, that the Execu-
tive Committee in every county
will see to it that there is no delay
in circulating the petitions. Nine
out of ten of all the voters in three
fourths of the counties will sign the
Petition, if it is presented to them.
There is not a community in the
State but where some one can be
found, man or woman, whose heart
is willing and hands eager to carry
this petition to every voter in the
neighborhood. All that is necessa-
sary now is that the County Com
mittees shall see to it that these
willing persons are sought out and
the petitions placed in their hands
The petitions have been sentout to

The Law ON Revolving.

The language of the Statute en-
powering the Council to revoke a
liquor-license, is as follows:
"The Council who authorized
any license mentioned in the first
section, may for good cause shown,
revoke the same upon the petition
in writing Of any inhabitant of the
city. But the person holding the
license must first have reasonable
notice OF the proposed revocation,
and the privilege Of being heard in
person or by counsel"
Now, we challenge the Great I'm
petitionables who say the proceed
ings lately introduced to revoke
the licenses oftwo liquor dealers, to
point out single irregularity or
informality i'll said proceeding.
The petition was in form, was Gin
writing" by an "inhabitant of the
city," and reasonable notice of the
proposed revocation" had been Civ
en-. What else was required? The
Council might have given him a
hearing "either in person Or by
counsel" on the return day
Of the notice, or could
have awarded rule against him to
show cause against it at the next
meeting.
We challenge the Council to pro-
duce the opinion Of any reputable
attorney, that the proceeding was
irregular or improper in any par
ticular. The law does not say that
the Council must give the notice,
But the petitioner seeking the
proposed revocation" has a right
to give the notice. Produce an at
torney who will say he has not.
We are very sure no attorney
will be found to gain-say the regu-
larity and utmost propriety Of the
petitioners proceeding before Coun-
Gil, and especially no attorney who
has had experience before the
courts in matters of petitions and
notice, in road business and other
motions and applications for relief
in the courts that require notice,
all of which are in harmony with =,
and right in the line Of this pro-
ceeding before the Council.

Pass the Petitions.

The condition Of things in every
community where liquors are sold
without restraint, is alarming. We
mean alarming, and every good cit
izen who loves his own and his
neighbours peace, and regards the
good of his neighborhood and coun-
try, ought to feel alarmed. That
the young men of our towns and
villages are being educated in sa-
looms instead of the schools, is far
more threatening to the future Of
the State, than all other known
evils combined. Is this assertion
the frightened cry of an alarmist ?
Is it not rather the solemn warn
ing we hear on every hand from
good and wise men who are Justly
alarmed, and brave to cry aloud
against the approaching calamity?
Will the people 60 listlessly on
amidst drunken revelry and de-
bauchery, or will they heed the cry
of the Jonahs in our midst, and re-
pent ere the impending destruction
is upon us?
The remedy is at hand. Good
people are agreed as to its efficiency
and sufficiency. Salvation lies
alone in the strong arm of Law
Law is Of the people, by the people,
and for the people. Let it be inter
posed between the people and the
wicked Sodom. Let the people
pray their own servants, the Legis-
lature, (and surely the servants
will hearken unto the prayers of
their masters.) Yea, let them i'm
plead and importune these, their
paid agents and employees, that
they serve their masters, the peo-
pie, Loyalty and faithfully in the
