The condition of Patrolman Doherty, of
the police force, who has been reported too
i'll for duty for week or more past, has be-
come such as to alarm his friends and the
physician attending him. The trouble he
recently had with the Boylands, resulting in
mutual arrests, charges and counter-charges,
seems to have preyed upon his mind and
suit of this, he is now considered by his
family and intimate friends to be in very
deplorable condition, and his physician has
expressed the necessity of entire cessation of
ali business cares, and complete rest and
quiet. His sister and brother have been
notified of his condition and are expected in
the city to-day.

BY the number of DRINKS on our streets
the last month, we should judge the mayor,
aldermen and the whole police force had
opened rum shops.-Neic Age.
How much more deplorable must have
been the condition of things during the year
ending March 4th. when the New Age run the
city government and hypocritically pretend
ed to prevent liquor selling through its agent
Marshal Harrington, while all the time
the death dealing run was flowing freer
than ever before. Look at the fig
ures; they don't lie. During the
three months ending March LIST 1885. when
the New Age held the reins, the reports of
the Municipal Court show there were u cases
of drunkenness before the Municipal Court.
Under City Marshal Morse for the three
months ending Sept. 80, there were hut
b2 cases, thus exhibiting a
marked decrease in the amount of
drunkenness under Marshal Morse. From
these figures one would infer that during the
three months commencing Dec. LIST, 1854,
not only all the democratic members of the
New Age city government, had ''opened rum
shops, but many other democratic rum-sellers
must have tlourished unmolested.
