THE COMMON COUNCIL.

The Proposed Extension of the Street Rail-
way Lines Suggests Few Pertinent Re
marks.
The regular meeting of the Common Council
last night was uneventful. There was little
business outside of the usual routine, and few
spirited remarks upon street railway building
was all that occurred to relieve an otherwise
monOtonOus session.
The city attorney submitted an ordinance for
introduction making it unlawful for any person
over the age Of ten years to throw orange or
banana peels on the sidewalks. Another ord-
nance was also submitted making it unlawful to
drive heavily loaded wagons over the block
pavements on North Meridian and North Della
ware streets.
A negative reply was given by the city attor
ney to the question referred to him asking If the
Citizens Street Railway Company has right TO
lay third track on any street.
The proposition of Luther Muhring to pay
$135 year for the privilege of removing dead
animals from the corporate limit, was accepted.
]. H. Webster, chief fire engineer, reported
that the fire department is in need of 5000 feet
OF new hose. During the Kentucky avenue fire
500 feet OF hose were burned, and four of the
reels have been carrying hose for three years,
which is now in a badly damaged condition.
The purchase OF the amount needed was ordered.
FEW PERTINENT REMARKS
The committee on streets and alleys recon-
mended the adoption of resolution directing
the extension Of the street rail way line on Mas
sachusetts avenue north ON Peru street to Home
avenue, thence east to Columbia avenue, thence
north to Seventh street, thence east to New
man street and thence North to Ninth street.
In the course of few remarks upon the
resolution, Mr.. Pearson said that the passage of
the resolution would have effect in hasten
ing the construction of the line. The street.
railway company, it was shown already had
orders ahead for the construction of about ten
miles of track, and under section ! 3 of their
ordinance, they are only required to build 900
feet a month"; The ordering of further extern
and would probably be given no attention by
the street railway company within the next five
years. The company would build no more track
than they were required to, and the very trans
parent assertion made by certain members of
the Council during the consideration of the Me-
tropOlitan ordinance that the laboring men wOnd
be given ready employ ent by the construction

surdity The street railway company, Mr.
Pritchard said, would take refuge behind the
fifteenth section OF their ordinance and the peo
pie who were anxiOusly awaiting the building of
a line on North Mississippi street. would con-
tinue to wait, doubtless, as long az five years.
The discussion was all on one side, and the mono

This was an eventful day for the
members Of the Boaue Chitto Sun

parlance OF the day, a picnic. l Go
not think anybody was late, as they
all put in Il timely appearance. In
the morning there WAS speech
making by the school children, at

themselves as best they could. But
they appeared to care very little Tor

soon became apparent. The ladies
were preparing well-tiIled table
for tue contemplation of all, which
was well worthy the indulgence of

sumptuous meal had conquered.

as we'll as of those who We're able
to cope with the numerous delica-

yearling from pen. He sas soon
saddled. and bull-riding was the
next event OF the day. A boy had
no sooner mounted the saddle,
when difficult riding was seen.
SoWe one had pinched the bulls
tail, and not being accustomed to
such treatment, he began dancing
in lively manner. He swung
around rs il fastened Oh a pivot,
then aurted away, with his tail high

rider landed on the ground near Il
barn. fortunately without injury.
After some more acting by the bull
the boys put him back in his pen,
and amused themselves with swih@-

THE DIFFERENCE.


The fragrant inconsistency dis
played by the traducers of Cover
nor McEnery it really amusing, if
aot actually ridiculous, and only
serves to show To what straits that
class of politicians are driven who
are SO clamosors fer "a change"
The financial condition of the
State is better to-day than it has
been since the war. The enemies
of the Governor, seeing that this
fac: mus. naturally rebound to his
credit. and prove the ability and
wisdom o! his administration, lond-
" proclaim that the Constit1 son
and laws and not Gov. McEnery,
are entitled to all the credit. But
when, under the same Constitution
and laws, State officer happens
to $50 wrong" and takes aavan-
tase of his official position to Sc
cretly defraud the State, then they
as stoutly assert that not the Con-
stitution and laws, but Governor
McEnery, is entirely to blame.
u len the Governor called con-
yentioa. for the purpose of devlslng
means to repair the broken leTees,
and protect tue people In the ailu-
vial portion of the State from over
flow. they claim that he did it with
the sole object Of advancing his
own political interests. and not foc
the welfare of the people. In short,
they want "a clange'-for reasons
best known to themselves-and to
accomplish this object they are
compelled to resort to desperate
measures. Consequently they can
see no good in Gov. McEnery-
none are SO blind as those who do
not wish to see-and they indus
triously distort his motives, in their
efforts to destroy his popularity and
thereby strengthen their own posi-
ton.
On the contrary, the friends Of
the Governor, while Zealously adj
vocating his claims to the respect
and confidence CT the people, as a
wise statesman, true Democrat
and chiya,rcus Southern gentle
man, who has the interests Of his
State and people ut heart, they do
Eot seek his advancement by ira
ducing bis opponents and rivals.
His own private and public record
is beyond reproach, and his course
since he succeeded to the guberna-
torial chair speaks for itself. Upon
these facts his friends are willing to
rest .heir case and abide by the de-
cision of the nominating ccnyen-
ton, whatever it may be.

The Danger Of Using Arsenic for the Com.
pLerisn,
TLondon Lancet.

1t is necessary to raise a warning CRY
against most mischievous statement
which has recently been circulated, and has
already done harm, to the effect that
"srsenic in small doses is good for the
complexion" 1t is not difficult to imagine
the risks women will incur to preserve or
improve their "good looks" No more in
genious device for recommending q drug
can be itupon than that which the authors
Of this most baneful prescription Of 1arsen
dior the complexion" have adopted. Suffice
it to recall the fact that for many years
past chemists and sanitsrians have been
laboring to discover the means Of elimin-
sting the arsenical salts from the coloring
matter of wall papers and certain dyes
once largely used for certain articles Of
clothing.
1t is most unfortunate that this hopeless
ly antagonistic recommendation of arsenic
to improve the complexion should have
found its way into print. Those who en-
ploy the drug as advised-and there are
many either already using it or contem-
plating the rash act-will do SO at their
peril. So far as they are able, however,
it will be the duty of medical men to warn
the public against this pernicious practice
which is only too likely to be carried on
secretly. 1t is not without reason that we
speak thus pointedly, and urge practition-
ers to be on the Qui viue in anomalous or
obscure cases,
