To-day, In the case OF the United States against

states that he files this answer because OF the at
tempt from the face OF the bill to fOreclOSe and de-
pr1ve him OF his rights and claims, without max

An Important License Question.
THE PERMISSION OF RESIDENTS ON BOTH SIDES OF A
STREET HELD TO BE REQUISITE


THE PERMISSION OF RESIDENTS ON BOTH SIDES OF A
STREET HELD TO BE REQUISITE.
Attorney Davis to-day sent to the Commits
sonerS an opinion in the case OF
Barbara Weber, in which The question was:
Whether the law requires the applicant for a
liquor license to present the permission Of a ma
jority OF owners and residents on each OF the two
sides of the portion OF the street in which he pro-
poses to locate.
After pointing out the difference between the
original license act of 1871 and the amendment Of
1872, he says: "In the case Of Abner's appiica-
ton some years ago for permit to do business on
street opposite the Post ONCE department. in
which q license was withheld for time because
OF the refusal OF the Postmaster General to give
his permission, it seems to have been assumed that
the permission Of q majority OF each OF the two
sides was requisite. While do not think the lam
guage OF the act as amended imperat1vely de-
mands this construction, II seems
to be in accordance with the idea of the
original act; and as the amendment
evinceS no clear intention OF making change in
this respect, it is perhaps, in better accord with
the rules Of Interpretation to hold that the permits
sion OF a majority on each OF the two confronting
sides of the square is requisite"
In the case as to whether a bar-rOOm license can
be issued for place in an alley he says: The law
does not contemplate the keeping OF such place
in on alley, and makes no provision therefor.

The Address of Rev. DIR. Newman

The cold north wind OF last night, which sent
driving fall of sleeet veered towards morning. and
drilling misty rain began to fall The mixture
OF snow and Sleet which covered the ground to a
depth of several inches was gradually converted
into slush, but, despite the weather and the dis
comfort OF the descending rain great crowds
OF people continued to pass through the rotunda OF
of the Capitol TO obtain last look at the remains
of Gen. Logan. The rotunda was open all night,
but after eleven O'Clock few people availed
themselves OF the privilege. But early
this morning the rush commenced and
continued until five minutes to ten O'Clock, when
it ceased for thirty minutes in order to give the
numerous photographers present an opportunity
to make photographs OF the funeral bier as 1t has
appeared since the floral tributes from Chicago
were placed upon and about 1t.

reprepresentation OF the American flag, its stars

were the words: 'ChicagO Union Veteran Club, and
at either side were the sentences: 'tOur Immortal
Comrade. Faithful Husband and Friend. Patriot,
Soldier, Statesman. Honest, Loyal, Brave and
True"
A smaller pillow of yellow and white flowers
beautifully tntermingled and surrounded by ivy
leaves, bore the words: "U. S. Grant Post OF
Chicago" written In violets.
During the operations OF the photographers the
the public were grouped to the north OF the csket
and outside the guard OF honor who were placed
in position to be photographed.
LAST VIEW OF THE REMAINS.
At twenty-five minutes past ten O'Clock Col.
Bracket, officer Of the day, ordered the public
into line again, and the people continued to
march through in an almost unbroken line. Those
who viewed the remains included all classes-the
rich, the poor, the aged, the young, men and
much affected by the sad sight, others were
merely gratifying morbid curiosity, while others,
when they reached the head OF the coffin were
unable TO gaze upon the face OF the dead and
turned their heads away, either from nervousness
Oh deep feeling.
AT few minutes to eleven o'clock uniformed
guard from Wilson and Du Shane Posts, OF Balti-
more, Nd, passed through the rotunda. All the
morning the rotunda was crowded with the privi-
legged multitude.

The Press and Its Critics.

Chicago Mail.
Mr.. Sam Jones, the evangelist, has some very
clear ideas regarding the province, the policy,
and the power of the newspapers. He holds
that newspapers are mercenary in their motives.
All this is true. Mr.. Jones does not mention
these things with the idea of rejecting upon the
newspapers He knows too we'll that the motive
at the bottom of all that the newspapers do is
the prevailing, impell.ng motive of all that is
done by mortal man. ME-. Jones knows that the
lawyer who pirates about the mercenary motives
of the newspapers will accept fee to defend
from just punishment the man he knows to be a
criminal Mr. Jones knows that the prominent
citizen who glibly complains of the selfshness
of the press will himself sell butterne for but
ter when he knows that it is running the stom
achs Of his fellow-men Mr. Jones knows that
the Banker, who after business hours sits back
IN his easy chair and criticises the license of the
press will skin his dearest friend if he but gets
grip on him. or freeze out his poor relations if
they happen to be minority stockholders. Mr..
Jones knows that the very preacher of the Cos
pei who is foremost in his denunciation of the
newspapers is the man whose sermons have been
rejected because they are not worth printing.
Mr.. Jones, like the venerable Antony Weller,
knows full we'll that "all is vanity, all is wan
ity," and that whatever there is Of evil in the
press is very human indeed-very.

s.The Noble-Headed Doctors. n

And now comes Mr. George Sloan druggist and
apothecary, declaring and averring that he never
used any such epithet as ''putty- doctors,
attributed to him liz the Journal last Wednesday
as an expression in his discussion of Elegant
Pharmacy before the Marion County Medical
Society on Tuesday evening, that many doctors
have felt that this cronial Characterization was
either applicable to, or personally intended for
them, whereas, in fact it was a repertorial para
phrase, hypothetical expletive of an i'm
piled condition. In brief as is we'll known,
Mr.. Geo. Sloan is an honorary doctor of
medicine himself, and the Journal we'll knows
that his respect for that degree aside from his
natural suavity and courtesy, would never have
allowed him to apply the execrable expression
''putty-headed" to a class of men who are his pa
irons, and in which he is himself included This,
we assert, is an error of the deepest dye of
printers' ink. The Journal wrote and meant
noble headed doctors" 1t is to be hoped Mr.
DR.. Geo. Sloans doctor friends will take this I'M
solicited explanation for what it ia worth, as the
Journal sees it has done him an injustice, and it
is to be hoped that neither he nor the paper may
receive any more inquiries as to just what noble
headed or putty-headed doctors were meant
