During the administration of that

extracts copied from an old paper of
date May "a, 1884, that there was
much opposition to some of the ap-
pointmelts ofthe Generals admins

sent to Washington from al parts OF

made to the appointment of Mr. Eu.

The LELAND Opera company.

Masonic Hall was filed to repIetion
last night with an intelligent and ap
preciative audience to witness the
opera "Our American Minister -"
Since their last visit to our city the
Leland Opera Company has added to
its troup several interesting features,
among which may be worthy of men
tion, the "Zouaves," who drill with
exactness and precision not to be ex.
celIed; also the ACROBAT, who is the
finest specimen of India-rubbereh hu-
manity nature may produce. The
music of the opera was good through
out. Mr.. VIM. Mitchell, the " Minis
ter'1was excellent. Washington, 2
hist attendant, made a fine imitation
of the African species and called forth
frequent applause. Miss Jessie
Cameron, as the prince Dorchester, =
deep dyed william, showed good acts
ing throughout, while Miss Clifton,
the heFine of the plot assumes her
role with grace and piquancy and
and sings extremely well. Before
the performance band from the skat.
ing rink rendered several lively airs
near Masonic Hall, but if the open
air concert was intended to attract
the Masonic Hall crowd to the rink
il failed signally. The agent Of Ma
sonic Hall had previously received
notice from the manager Of the Skat-
ing Rink Lelands that q legal contest
would be made and enjoining him to
stop the play Of Our American Min.
ister,D which.he claimed as copyrighted
by him, but no notice was taken Of it.
Manager Hill says the so-cailed Lee
land manager has troubled him in
this way before, but he has always
pulled through safely. An attractive
programme will be presented for to-
night, and all who would enjoy
pleasant evenings entertainment, Of
the mot fine and chaste character, We
advise them to 90 tonight and Wit

Mr.. Editor

H1is GuILOl
Why don't our town council pass an
ordinance prohibiting the sale of intox-
icating liquor. within the corporate
limits of the town on Sunday No
municipal ordinance was ever more
needed in any town. All that is neces-
sary to make this apparent is stroll on
any of our streets OH a Sunday. Many
places on our most public streets are,
ON that day, converted into veritable
bells on earth, by drunken crowds,
principally from the country, who pay
not one cent of taxes to the town, who
cOhgregate around these dens when
liquor is sold on that day. So untOler-
able has this nuisance become, that on
some of our principal streets lady can
scarcely pass, even to attend Church
on Sunday, without an escort to see
her through the drunken crowd of
hoodlums that Obstruct the sidewalk,
and can then at the risk of hearing the
most obscene, indecent and vulgar Ian
gnage. This should not be allowed.
People who live in town, and who pay
taxes to keep the streets and sidewalks
in order, should at least be allowed the
privilege of enjoying them, free from
molestation and obstruction, especially
on Sundays, and il people who sell liq-
nor on those days do not prevent half
drunken hoodlums from ObstructiDg
the streets and sidewalks in front of
their premises, the town sh0nld see that
is done. True, there are now ordi-
nances denOuncing it, but our police
officer however vigilant cannot enforce
them because the work is too much for
any one officer. Now under section is
of the act of 1876. amending the charter
of the town of OpelOusas, the town
council can at once abate, and etfectu-
ally abate this intolerable nuisance, by
passing an ordinance to take effect, say
on January 1St, prohibiting the selling
or giving away of Intoxicating malt,
spirituous or vinOus liquors of any
| kind by Keepers OF saloons or houses
where liquors are sold within the cor
pOrate limits of the town, on Sunday,
or between the hours of 12 NJ, on Sat
uTday night, and 12 NJ, on Sunday night.
/
| ty to pass such an ordinance. under our
charter any one can see by reference to
a decision of the Supreme Court in the
Corporation of Minden va Silverstein
& Dittmer, SO A page 912, decided in
New Orleans last Novernber
Let our town council take this matter
| in hand and act at once and thus abate
this crying nuisance.
1t can affect nobody injuriously If
any man feels it his hounden dirty to
get drunk on Sunday, all be will have
Saturday evening, take it home and
swiIl to his hearts content on Sunday
and thus make himself nuisance to
his own family only and not interfere
with others aud not obstruct streets and
| not obstruct streets and sidewalks
which be contributes not cent to keep
in repair. TAXPAYER.
