An OPINION or THE nAYOK's MESSAGE.
An Editor Who Read and Printed II Heartily
Approves Its Suggestions


Approves Its suggestions
From the New Era, Rep.
Mayor MortOn's first annual message Is
a plain, sensible and business-like dOcu-
ment. All his recommendations are in
the line OF efficient and economical adj
ministratiOn OF the affairs OF the city in its
several departments. lie lays proper en-
phass upon the reprehensible practice of
ovsrdraN ing appropriations for the current
fiscal year and drawing upon the income
OF the next for the Liquidation OF the deti-
ciencies. He urges that the next year be-
begun with n clean balance sheet aud
pledges his official cooperation in enforc-
ing the reform thus begun.
The inequality and injustice of the present
iniquitous assessments are justly condemned
and the remedy referred to the people who
exercise so little discrimination in the selec-
ton of assessors. Greater supervision of con-
tracts for macadamiZng streets is called for
and a tax on telegraph and telephone poles
suggested as an equitable com mpensatiOn for
the privileges and protection granted. The
question OF improved water supply and drain
age of the northeastern section OF the city are
intelligently discussed and the good work of
the board of health commended TO the gener-
Gus consideration of councils. The duty of
council 10 perfect the equipment of the fire
department and to stop their nonsense about
the Clspp x Jones engine is respectfully but
tersely en Joined.
After several minor suggestions Mayor
Morton recommends measure which should
receive the appreciation of every ctizen-the
prscincting OF the city into smaller election
districts, and if possible to spportion the
common councilmen among single districts
corresponding with those precincts. lie
justly condemns the present inequitable dis
tribution by which the First ward has four
members and the Fifth, with many more
'oters and taxables, mas only two members
in common council.
Altogether, Mayor Morton has done him.
sell credit in this his first annual official de-
llNerance, and We trust councils irrespective
ot party, will give their hearty cooperation
IN seconding his recommendations SO far as
practicable. " "

THERE Is recent report of another horrible
accident from the misuse of firearms A
boy had the top of his head blown OFT by an
unloaded gun. This enterprising youth
looked down the barrel while his friend
pulled the trigger, a proceeding which shows
his ignorance of the weapon and so points
out the remedy tor these consequently re-
curing accidents to both boys and men.
The victims are nearly all people who are
not familiar with the uses of firearms, and
with things of that nature familiarity does
not breed contempt Let boys be taught how
to handle firearms, and let them find by
observing the effect of a load OF buck shot
upon the head OF a wood chuck, the natural
relation of cause and effect and there will be
fewer accidents OF this nature When
Artemus Ward went To farming he under
took to swing the scythe with young man
in the harvest field The young mans
father called halt, "stop James" he said,
"Im an old man and wont be missed your
family can't spare you" Artemus concluded
that farming was not his forte. So it is with
firearms, familiarity with danger breeds
apparent carelessness but real caution.

FIGHTING THE TIGER.
Stringent Anti-LiquOr Bill In the
New York Legislature.

A New York Special says: A
great deal of talk was caused to-
day among liquor men by the
introduction in the Legislature of
the most sweeping measure that
could possibly be framed short Of
Prohibition. 1t provides that COM
missioners be appointed to regulate
the granting of licenses, so that
there shall not be more than one
for every $50 of population, and in
no case shall saloon be located
within 800 feet of any public
institu ton, such as schoolhouse,
church, asylum, penitentiary or
navy yard. Licenses are also to be
withheld when the majority of the
electors in any ward decide for
local prohibition, or when a major
ity of the property holders within
$50 feet to the right or left of the
premises are opposed. The bill
provides that no private drinking
rooms are to be allowed i; that liquor
is not to be sold on credit or to
minors, or to policemen, militia
men or soldiers in uniform, and for

Practical Philosophy.

There is practical philosophy in
what DR.. Wheeler, late editor of
she Pittsburgh Christian Advocate,
said, some time since, to the effect
that, to overmaster.. this great evil,
the liquor traffic, requires moral
enthusiasm among the, the people
which can only be awakened by
some such clean cut, radical meth
Cd of reform as that presented by
a new party. Compromises never
enlist the enthusiasm of the masses.

an infract.on of this clause the
offender is liable to q punishment
of twelve months imprisonment
and a fine of $500.
Saloons must be closed except
from 7 A. NJ. until 10 P. NJ. on week
days and not open at all on the
Sabbath, and habitual drunkards
when arrested must be punished
by from six to twelve months
imprisonment. 1t is provided that
every package of liquor must be
accompanied by a certificate of
purity, which, if incorrect, war
rants fine OF $3.50 on the seller.

LOCAL OPTION.
Big Fight IN the Virginia Legis.
lature.
Whisky or no Whisky, in Cities and
EUerytohere.

Our Virginia neighbors are very
much stirred up over the pending
Local Option Bill.
The friends of Temperance and
Justice prepared a general bill ap-
plying alike to all parts of the
State. The Saloon influence sue
ceeded in getting a clause inserted
excepting from its operations, all
cities of 5 900 inhabitants, in which
crippled condition the bill passed
the House.
Against this trickery a vigorous
protest is being raised all over the
State.
We clip the following extracts
from the Rockbridge (Ya) Ne,os.
at MISUNDERSTANDING to
cities the right of self-protection
granted to others, and the discrim-
ination is against the places where
protection is most needed.
1t is violation of the pledge
given in the late election which
wiU be disastrous to the party in
poOer."
MANS WHISKY OR HIS DOG.
"When the old Negro announced
to his colored brethren the danger
OF touching any mans whisky or
his dog, it was no idle threat. But
since then, it has grown still
more dangerous to the political life
of men not to give all parties the
right to settle the whisky question.
1t would be safe to say that not
one in ten of those who voted for
this bill in the House will have
another chance of deceiving their
constituents, unless they repent"
STAND FROM UNDER,
The effect of the bill before the
Senate, if passed, will be to force
the question of Local Option into
politics. The liquor question tran
sends in its Importance all others
before the people-even that of the
State debt, and will not down. 1t
was the earnest desire OF all it's
best friends to keep it apart from
all political issues between exist
ing parties; and to have fair and
honest law presented to the people
for acceptance or rejection. 1t is
the unquestionable right of every
community. or city or country, to
have every nuisance abated. And
if this is regarded as such-and
destructive to the peace and well
fare of the community-it would
be preposterous injustice and folly
to deny them the right to abate it.
But if the Legislators, in their
wisdom, deny this right, to which
they are pledged, then Temper
ance party will be organized of ne
cessity. And if this is done we
give the old parties and all the
whisky men in them fair warning,

How Drunkards are Made.

At a meeting in Philadelphia, dur
ing the week of prayer, one of the
speakers related this incident:
A lad was approached by one Of
those dispensers of that which deprives
men Of their property and destroys
both body and soul, who solicited him
to come into his place of destruction
and take a glass of lemonade. The boy
hesitated, but on being assured that he
would get nothing but glass of nice,
sweet lemonade, he was induced to 60
in. Sure enough, he was offered what
had been promised him and nothing
more. This was repeated several
times, till at length, the trap having
been set, it was now time to spring it..
Accordingly, the rum seller began his
work by dropping into the glass of
lemonade one drop of strong liquor, in
creasing it SO as imperceptibly to form
in the lad taste for it. AS the boy
never paid for his drinks, one of the old
customers of the place asked the land
lord why he 50 favored him. He re-
piled by saying, "Do you see that fine
nice mansion upon the hill yonder?
That belongs to the boys father and
will probably soon belong to him, and
then il turn it may belong to me-
Fiendish! Horrible! A long-head-
ed, deep laid scheme to ruin a family
and rob them of their property; for
certainly such Il scheme, if successful,
could be looked upon as nothing less
than downright robbery, and as much
penitentiary offence as any other
Kind of robbery, But are not all rum
sellers alike in this respect: They do
not care who is hurt, who comes to
grief, who suffers the pangs of hunger
and cold who goes to home of sorrow
and wretchedness, whose children cry
for bread, or whose wife is abused, or
beaten, or murdered, so they but ell
their own Golfers and live ON the fat of
the land.-Ex.
