The Agony Over.
Saloons Must Pay a City II az
Of s5OOr Close Up.


Of $50 or Close Up.
The saloon license law, which has for SO
long been bothering the brains of our City
Fathers. has at last been disposed of. Both
branches of our city government have de-
cided that saloons must pay special tax of
$52 year. each express wagon $l2 and 50
for each telegraph, telephone and electric
light pole. This will bring into our city
treasury a very handsome sum. There is
considerable "kicking' by some of the sa-
loonatics, they vowing to vote the Demo-
cratic ticket for all time to come, while
others say the only objection they have to
the tax is that it is not large enough. They
claim that ii the tax had been put at two or
three hundred dollars they would have will
ingly paid it, as such tax would have
closed mp the dens and dives, and left the
business to the more respectable class of
dealers. Whether it will effect the Repub-
lican party or not, is a question which will
be hard to answer until after our election.
The Democracy, however, are jubilant over
the passage OF the ordinance, claiming that
it will give them control. of the city at the
next election. The general opinion is that
the ordinance will effect the party, but very
little, if any.

A COmmendable Object.

Rev. J. T. White, q very talented and
worthy colored gentleman, at one time q
resident of this city, but now of the State of
Arkansas, has returned here for q brief So
journ to raise funds among his old friends
for the purpose of establishing university
The object Of the institution is to educate
teachers and preachers to do educational
and missionary work among the freedmen
of the Mississippi Valley. Mr.. White comes
to us with letters of credit from the
Governor of Arkansas and other prominent
citizens of that State. He brings, also, a
very pleasant letter from Senator voorhees,,
commencing him to the good offices of
Governor Porter. He met the Senator q few
months ago when the latter was visiting
Hot Springs. 1t is to be hoped that the
mission of Mr.. White to this city and State
may be successful, and that our people may
generously respond to his wishes.

To the Editor Of the IntpllIgencrr.
sIR:--ln the pressure that Is being brought
to bear on Our Council to secure additional
railroad transit by an additional track along
the river front, Is there not danger tina,
other routes equally feasible and perhaps
less expensive, all things considered, may
be overlooked? II will not be denied BY
any one acquainted with the facts, that the
present track along the wharf Is II very
serious Inconvenience and obstruction to
shipments by river, amounting ut times
when derailinent takes place In shifting 10 d
complete stoppage for nn hour or more ut u
time, and at all tlnies when making up tho
trains Ia nearly as bad. With another track
on which long trains were being moved, II
would be almost impossible to continue the
shipments ut that or ANY other point within
the city limiis-a loss which tho best rouds
In the lot would hardly compensate It's for,
The route suggested through tho columns
OF the lSrELiluESCEn by Mr.. Rawlings
would, II projected Though Chapline hIll,
afford all tho facilities that ronu along the
river could possibly desire for the collection
and distribution OF freight, beside giving nmpl
iOui luI hhltCLtn MIN any improvement Ill
In the way Of shops, etc. 1t will be relne,,,.
bcred by those who rsad the article of Mr. Raw.
lings that tho route suggested was to follow
the mCanderings OF tho creek from Fulton
as far MS deemed advisable, even TO Main
street bridge, but u better plan would be IL
cross the creek after following Its north side
10 a point about opposite the west end OF the
Whitaker iron works, tunnel the hill aud
take the first left band brunch Of Caldwell's
run down 10 tho main run. at the old flour
mill after which 1t would be plain sailing to
any part Of the lower end Of the city.
THIS route oilers to any road coming from
the east by way Of the creek all the fine bot.
tom above the village Of Fulton for switches
and shops and manufacturing sites. 10 con-
meet the proposed route with any road brdg.
ing the river ut the head OF the Island, a tun-
mel at JOnatban's Gut would BE- necessary.
That the route suggested Oilers fair induce.
mcnt Is evident, as 1t would give close con.
