RninR IN STAY.
FOR the Republican.

I EVE tho nopuUhunhs
1t seems, from all / can learn, thai
City Council is determined to remove
the market from King street. Why
they should do 80 remains 10 every
one q mystery, as no one can give any
shadow of reason for such q move, and
no one can, 1t seems, find any place
where market like King street mar
ket can be located, which will suit all
the people as well. We are located on
King street and We have an interest In
the market being there, but we have o
right In common with all business men
on the street, to be protected in an
honest, legitimate business, so long as
that business is better suited to King
street than any other street in the city.
Council may say am protected; to
some extent am, but II you move the
farmers you do materially inJure our
business, while you do no body any
good whatever. You may say this is
self interest. So 1t is. There is no pub
lie interest only what grows out Of self
interest; like charity 1t should always
begin at home. We ask council TO let
the market alone where 1t is; while it Is
to the benefit of all business men on the
street 1t Ia q general benefit to all our
people, over the city, more so than any
street In the city.
But If Council will 90 headlong and
remove 1t, which l believe they are too
wise to do, why have this to say; you
can move the market and hurt our in
terest, but you cannot move US from
our place Of business on King street,
and we would ask all tho buRiIeRs men
on the street to "hold tho fort" Stay
where you are, You have reasonable
rents, less than French street property
holders expect you to pay them. We
can keep the most Of the produce aud
market business on the street. Lat us
put forth renewed efforts to keep rade
here, aud make IL IN the future, what
we have done In tho past, the cheapest
market the people can tind.

MIR. Blaine ON prohibition.

Ex-Secretary Blaine in q recent lot
ter to the Republicans of Maine thu
testifes to the efficiency of the Maine
law: ..
"Intemperance has steadily decreased
in the State since the first enactment Of
the prohibitory law, until now it can bt
said with truth that there is no equal
number of people In the Anglo-Saxon
world among whom so small amount
of intoxicating liqSor is consumed
as among the 65O,OOO Inhabitants Of
Maine"
This is strong counter testimony to
the notion that prohibition is a failure.
