A CITIZENS GRIEVANCE.
He Thinks Woodruff Place Should Come Into
the City if 1t Wants Fire Protection.

A well-meaning citizen, who lives in the
northeastern part of the city and is a tax
payer to a considerable amount, met a
Journal reporter yesterday. The we'll
meaning citizen had a burden on his mind.
Il notice." said he, that a movement is to
be made to secure better fire protection for
the northeast part of the city. and that
residents of Woodruff Place are
the moving spirits. If Woodruff Place
has the abundant fire protection
that an afternoon paper says it has, how
does it happen that the residents of that
beautiful preserve which enjoys immunity
from city taxes should SO ardently desire a
fire engine in the northeast part of the city?
Perhaps the recent fire there has had some-
thing to do with this, and also to depreciate
values there. Why should an engine be
kept in the vicinity of Woodruff Place at
a great expense for the protection of
these people who pay no part
Of the city expense in main
tanning its fire and police departments
Let Woodruff Place residents manifest a
willingness to be annexed to the city and
pay their share of the burden. and Council
and Aldermen may then harken to their
request and put a fire engine in their vicin-
ity. The idea of maintaining an exclusive
suburb with the city growing all around
it. and it enjoying all city advantages
without paying anything therefor, is some
thing the average taxpayer cannot con-
template with equanimity."

CONFLICT OF OPINION.
Colonel Hicklin and the Democrats Still Con-
sidering the Redistricting Ordinance.

Councilman Hickiin has run against
another snag in his self-assumed efforts to
pilot the Democratic members OF the Coun-
Gil through what they nave termed "a time
for doing something and that snag is
nothing less than a direct conflict of opin-
ion between two of the leading Democratic
legal authorities of the State. 1t is still
the redistricting ordinance that is at
tracing their attention. although the al
dermanic election question comes in for its
share of the discussion. When the
former was first agitated the Demo-
Gratis were in favor of doing a dozen
different things ut once. but none of them
carried ont. As a last resort, and as the re-
suit of a conference with one or two attor-
neys a plan was suggested by which the
Council was to be enjOined from carrying
the ordinance into effect.
This was thought to be q capital idea.
One attorney even went SO far as to
begin work upon a complaint which. he
said at the time. would settle the whole
thing forever. THE Council can pass this
ordinance" said he. but it can't enforce 1T.
You mark my words. there will never be an
election held under it's provisions"
"'You will carry it to the courts. theng'
'Yes. we will; and it will be in the form
OF an Injunction"
But. it seems this attorney is riding a
hobby which does not exactly meet the
approval of ADLER and more reliable men of
the law. Prominent among these is eX-
Senator Mccullough, who takes the ground
that the Council is a legislative body and
cannot be enjoined by any individual OF
corporation. Senator Turpie holds to an
opposite opinion. and says that the
Council is not a legislative body, but
more like q board of trustees. In view
of thisc construction. 1t can be enjoined. not
from passing an ordinance. but from carry
ing 1T into effect. And so these two author.
tiles stand, with Colonel Hicklin between
them. and around him he has his anxious
gang. looking TO him for fatherly advice
and judicious guidance.

GRAND OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES"
No comic opera has received a heartier
Endorsement here than that which was ac-
corded to "Paola," given by the Duff com-
pany. at the Grand Opera-house, last night.
There have been larger audiences, and
doubtless the one on this occasion would
have been so had the weather permitted,
out none has expressed keener enjoyment.
From the time the curtain went up on the
first act to its going down at the last the
attention was close and the applause fire.

appearance of Miss Leonore Snyder. whohad
often been seen here. where she still has her
hOme. in amateur operate presentations.
She acquitted herself then with force and
grace that gave promise of a brilliant
career. This is being fully realized in her
woman, who gives to her acting a most
pleasing grace, and sings with a charm
that at once captivates her auditors. She
was enthusiastically received at each ap-
pearance during the run of the opera. and
was the recipient of several fine floral
gifts. Other characters were we'll sus-
