The frequent elegant dinners lately given
by Mr.. FLOWER, the new congressman

SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 4. 1882.
Carter's Little Joker.

Sound travels TAB miles per hour and
vet the Laucaster{NTELLIGENC doesn't
open its head to explain why it stated
that Mr.. Brown had informed its editor he
was not sued for libel, when Mr.. Brown
declares he informed him that he was
sued for libel.-Lancaster Inquirer.
Mr.. Brown, who was the legal adviser
of Calvin Carter, distinctly stated to the
editor of the INTELLIGENCER on the
day that the aforesaid Carter came to
town to bring libel suit that he
had gone home without bringing it.
Subsequently Mr.. Brown said that
after he had supposed Carter had left
town, he learned that, at the instiga-
tion of the editor of the Inquirer, Car
ter had sworn to a complaint and left it
at Alderman Barr's, upon learning which
Brown had promptly gone to Bars and
directed that no warrant issue, and that
the suit be not docketed until further
orders. Alderman Barr on the same
evening said the same thing. In con-
versation with Mr.. Carter the next
day, he gave no intimation that
he had brought any libel suit against
the INTELLIGENCER. Since then no
warrant has ever been served at
this office, nor upon any of its editors.
Under these circumstances the public
can very fairly judge whether the " In
TELLIaENCER lied'' or not when it said
1" We do not know whether Mr.. Calvin
Carter has sued the INTELLIGENCEE fol
libel or not
Meantime, if Carter has sued it why
don't he 60 on with his suit And if thu
Inquirer editor instigated Carter tt
bring his suit why does he not exercise
his potential influence to get him to g
on with it !? The INTELLIGENCER ha
said that while Carter did not, as wa
originally supposed, sell his own fou
dollar pigs to the prison for seven dollar
head, he did buy shoats from his frient
and political crony ut an eXOrbitan
price: that he did buy goods from tn
prison for his friends and relatives a
prices far below the regular retail pric
of the same, and that he needlessl.
bought for the prison, from his relatives
at an unduly high price, potatoes whicl
the prison keeper says will only spoil OF
his hands. Obviously if Carter eve
brought or had any notion of bringing
libel suit, there is more occasion TO
him to go on with it now thai
there ever was. The way for him ant
his editorial adviser of the Inquirer t.
find out whether the INTELLIGENCE
lied'' or not is to submit the question t.
court and jury, by proceeding with tn
suit which the Inquirer says he brought
but which Carter and his counsel an
the alderman and the INTELLIGENCE
seem to think he did not bring.
And as the Inquirer sets up for Il cer
s)r of editorial ethics and wants t
know if lie is ever just!fiable it may q
we'll answer. at tine outset of the discu!
sion. why it has denied that when il
eli:or ran for Congress he gave lie,
Sensenig his note for $1,000, to be pal
if elected-the note, pending his defea
being held by a mutual friend.

TIE Nor Era discovers what is prob
ably 10 news to anybody, that the ma
jority of members which its party has
gained in councils instead of meeting
the public expectation, not only in
local legislation and economy in expendi-
ture, bat also in their choice of heads for
the several departments" will, as like as
not 80 forfeit the confidence of the bet
ter class of citizens, and they will de-
serve TO do so,' as there is DISPOSE
ton in some quarters, supposed to be
potential in such matters, to apportion
tue offices on other consideration
than those which the people everywhere
are declaring shall be paramoulk in mu-
nicipal affairs The Ner Era recog-
nizes that "the people demand that
honesty, capaLility and unspotted char
acter must be taken into the account as
the first requisite - of municipal officers,
and promises that if the Republican ma.
jority in councils overlooks this fact
the Republican party will have signed
its own death warrant, and citizens
committee, or its equivalent, will attend
to the execution in February, 1888"
This is very encouraging talk. We would
rather have a response to the IN
TELLIGENCER's frequent motion for
a Eon-partisan local government, not
conditioned on the success of one faction
or another in controlling the election of
city Offices, and since the Ner Era in.
dulged in suc!, talk as the foregoing be.
fore Boring's nomination and then
heartily supported his election, we are
suspicious Of its sincerity for municipal
reform ard strict exclusion Of party
politics from the administration Of city
affairs. But if it is sincerely for the
best men for city offices, regardless of
politics, here's the right hand of fellow,
ship, and as soon as the Republicans have
made their deal of the spoils won in the
last party fight for city control, let the
citizens moveme mt for 1883 be started.

Slight Fire.


Between and 3 o'clock yesterday after
noon there was slight fire in 4 house be-
longing to Frederick Coos, situated at the
corner of Lemon and Mary streets, and
occupied by Oscar Homp, butcher. A
kettle on the kitchen stove boiled over
and the liquid falling upon the Goals
burning in the CRATE caused tongue of
flame to shoot forth and set on fire some
articles on the mantel. A coal oil lamp
sitting thereon exploded, setting fire to
the rnantel, the doors, the carpet and
some other things in the room. With the
assistance Of neighbors the family put out
tho fire without raising general alarm.
The damage to the furniture is not heavy,
and $50 will cover the loss Oh the building,
