COUNCILMAN MARKEY, who was elect
ed on the Democratic reform ticket, has
introduced resolution in the Council
making it optional with saloon-keepers
to pay the $3.50 license fee annually,
semi-annually or quarterly. This is not
only in the interest of the saloor- keepers
solely, but it is in the interest Of the
worst class of saloons, that class which
most demands regulation and suppress
sion. What may be called the better
class of saloons, those owned by re-
sponsible persons, and which endeavor
to comply with the law, do not object to
the $3.50 license fee nor to paving it all
in advance. They arc able and willing
to comply with the law. 1t is only the
mushroom saloons, those which exc out
q prechrious existence by constant eva
sion OF law, that are unable or unwilling
to pay the license fee in advance. Mr..
Narkey's resolution is in the interest of

SPEAKING of the present boom in prod

SPEAKING of the present boom in prod
uce and stock prices, the Chicago Jour-
nal says: swot
Like all sudden turns and whirls in the
tide of business affairs there are some sce-
cial causes which, inside of general COM
mercial laws, have cOnspired to produce
this great change. In grain markets, the
persistent and reiterated reports of damage
to the winter crop. added to the
phenomenally cold winds and absence of
needed rain, have given rise to wide
spread conviction that the prospect for an
abundant harvest next fall is poor one,
and that the recent range, of values for
cereals is altogether too low. More than
this, the 'bears' have practically domi-
mated markets and values for the past two
or three years, and spectators are Of Opin-
ion that it is about time for the bulls to
have a good long inning. vs
This relates to trading in margins and
futures, and the point in the above
which seems to be entitled to attention
as bearing upon the issue before the
country, is the statement that "for the
past two or three years, the bears have
dominated the markets. III the bears
have dominated the market they have
been able to hammer prices down, and,
so far as they have had power, they
have kept prices below those which
would have ruled if only real products
had been sold and bought. Such de-
preston of prices has worked an injury
to the producer which has caused wide
spread dissatisfaction. 1t is this evil
which the Butterw0rth bill seeks to
remedy, and such opinions as that quoted
are conclusive reasons why it should be-
come law.

EX-GOvERNOR BULLOCK, of Georgia,
is very conservative Republican, who
has large business interests in that State,
is an confederate, and does, rot be-
lieve that the federal government
should, in any way, interfere with the
State elections, but he does believe in
separate elections for members OF Con-
gress, and secret ballot. This would
not only enable colored men to vote, but
it would afford opportunity for many
Southern whites who are in full accord
with the Republican party on national
issues, the tariff, the encouragement of
American commerce, etc., to vote for
candidates in accord with that policy,
which they will not do now because it
would involve them in local difficulties.
He believes that the Lodge bill, with a
few amendments, will meet the demand
Governor Bullock heartily approves of
the course pursued by President Harri-
son in the South in regard to the ap-
pointment of officers. He has sought
only fit and worthy men in Office, and
has given notice that the supreme au-
thority of the general government within
its sphere must be respected and will be
maintained. He goes on to say of the
President:
He has not encouraged the local activities
of class of politicians in the South whose
chief ambition is to draw federal salaries
and whose party lines include only aspir-
ants for public pap. The wise tendency of
his policy is to build up federal party
from the best elements who can support the
great economic issues of the party III fed
eral elections without withdrawing their
support from local and home issues, The
South can and will divide on federal issues
when such a division does not, in their
opinion. imperil local safety, and the policy
of the President is in this direction.

AS TO PUBLIC BUILDINGS.

Democratic and brevet-D -Democratico Or
gans are yet indignant over the S16,0O0,-
900 which they assume is as good as
voted by the present Congress to public
buildings. but, strange to say, not doll
lar of money has yet been voted for the
construction of public buildings. Both
houses have passed bills authorizing the
construction of public buildings, the
cost of which shall, not exceed certain
sum. These bills define the course to be
pursued to acquire sites for such build
ings, but, as has been the usage of sew
eral Congresses, no clause apprOpriating
money for any purpose is embraced in
these bills. The appropriation of money
is made on the recommendation of the
committee on appropriations, and is
recommended In such sums as is deemed
necessary to carry on the work on build
ings already begun and upon those which
will be begun. In other words, the
larger part of the money which this
Congress will appropriate for public
buildings will be devoted to the con-
structiOn of those which have been au-
thorized by the past three Congresses,
which were Democratic in one branch.
Consequently the appropriation of $16,-
100000, or half that sum, for public
buildings by the present Congress is an
improbability. When the general SUBJ
ject of public buildings was up IN the
House, a few days since. Mr. Cannon,
chairman of the committee on appro-
priations, took occasion to inject the
following positive information into the
flood of prattle:
Iwant to say, touching public buildings,
made during this Congress, for the coming
fiscal year. for the commencement, cOntin-
nation and completion of public buildings
authorized during the Forty-eighth, Forty
ninth and Fiftieth Congresses. when our
Democratic friends had possession of the
House. will be greater in amount than the
appropriations to be made for the comm 3
fiscal year for all buildings authorized or
to be authorized during this session of
Congress- s5
That is, the larger part of the money
recommended by Mr.. Cannon's commit
tee will be for buildings authorized by
Democratic Congresses. This signif-
can't statement should allay any appre-
hension which the Democraticpress may
have caused lest the property Of citizens
may be taken to pay for public build
ings in O large number of cases.

defeat of the bill was it is only too plain,
due to bad management, and the clause re-
