SOMETHING NovEL-The City Council has done an
act little of the usual line that is causing much
amusement and comment in some quarters, and sur
prise and Indignation in others. The Council met,
last Saturday night and made list of nearly all the
habitral drunkards in Troy, and those in the sur
rounding country who frequent Troy. 1t includes
men who get drunk and disturb the peace, or who
are ugly quarrelsome, or who neglect or abuse
their families or who are fast travelling TO the Val
ley of the Shadow. The list numbers from twenty
to twenty-five. Two lists made out, and one
served upon both Of the saloons, with notice that
if they sold any liquor to any of the persons named
in the list, they would be prosecuted by the city.
Ii was to take effect from and after Monday morn
ing. 1t il said to have been dverting to see those
men, as they went into the saloon and called for
their morning nips and the bartender refused them,
showing under their the order of the Council
and the list of coRscrps. 1t is pretty rough on the
victims but If strictly enforced, will abate the worst
features of drunkenness in this community. The ac-
ton is very generally approved by the citizens, but
some think that few names might have been
added, without going amiss.

GooD Word FOR BLAINE FROM BosToS-Mr.
Baines invitation to the sister republics Of this
tinent for political conference ut Washington has
been published in the official FORM only the fact
having been announced. The object. therefore, can
not very well be verified. But the General idea of
establishing close relations between all American
republics has everything in its favor and a general
conference, Mt which the other republics will be our
guests, may perhaps be fair way toward future
cooperation. II is to be hoped that the invitation
has been cOuched in sufficiently liberal terms to
make its general acceptance agreeable. The notion
that diplomacy in Europe is formal and among
American republics less precise, is wide of the mark.
The Spanish republics given to considerable for
