COUNCIL is disposed to try fall with
the "chippy" question. The "chippy"
is no. found in Webster, but is a famil-
lar species Of the genus homo OF the fem
mime gender and tender age, usually
found on the streets after nightfall,
and having a penchant for furious
Irritation. An ordinance passed
one branch of Council last night
prohibiting girls under 16 being on the
streets, unaccompanied by escort Of
good repute. between the hours Of 10 p.

would hold water or not is question,
but there can be no question as to the
good intentions Of our city fathers. The
"chippy" ought to go, or be made to
stay at home.

the present and future of our young State to be found in a care
full perusal of these reports.
While the Treasurer shows that we have been compelled to in
crease our bonded debt to meet the current obligations during the
past year, we have not, as was very generally feared, impaired our
credit by our inability to defray the extraordinary current ex-
penses incident to statehood, including the cost of an extra session
OF the Legislature, OF unusual length. With the increased assess
ment OF the present year, as shown by the Auditors report,
augmented in the future as it should be, by our natural growth
and by such a revision of our revenue laws as shall compel all
fixed and permanent provision whereby the railroad and other
corporations Of the State shall be made to bear their equitable
and just share of the expenses of the government with expendi-
lures limited, by careful and economical management, to our abso-
lutte requirements and with no further regular session of the
Legislature until 1893, there would seem to be little doubt of the
income OF the State being sufficient to meet the current annual
schools and various public institutions from the vast donation of
public lands, thus guaranteeing their growing excellence, the un-
mistakable evidence of the success of a rapidly increasing diver

A Fatality Averted.

The passengers on a Third avenue street
car recently were suddenly shaken nearly
off their seats by the full stop of the car.
The driver was seen to gesticulate wildly
as he put all his muscle into the brake.
The conductor ran to the front platform.
The horses were seen TO rear up on their
hind legs and shy off the track. The pas
sengers were in a state of panic and made
frantic efforts to crowd through the doors.
just ahead of the horses and within W.
feet of their noses a long black wire dan
gled across the tracks, twisting to and fro.
"Don't go near it'll" yelled the conductor,
and the crowd fell back. Then the driver
and a policeman held a council of war,
which resulted in the former getting along
pole. Approaching the deadly wire eau
tiously he grasped the pole at the extreme
end and showed the threatening obstruc-
ton gently aside. While he held it off the
conductor drove the frightened horses past
the spot, and thus a fatality was averted.
Meanwhile a great crowd had gathered,
but at a distance of fully fifty feet from
the wire. Suddenly a little man elbowed
his way through their midst and APP
preached the wire. "For heavens sake,
don'tl" shrieked a terror stricken man in
the front rank. But the little man did not
heed his supplications. He stretched out
his hand, took hold Of the wire and smiled
/ sadly. II
sits a rope.,' he said.--New York Times.

The Insurance Business.

The report of Insurance COMMISSIONS
Carey makes a volume OF over 400 pages,
and like the other branches of the state
government, shows a satisfactory increase
of business-indicating gradual and Ger
tain development. The commissioner says
that 1.-THE separating of the insurance from
the auditing department has proven very
satisfactory bUJh to the companies and
other persons Interested in insurance mat
tiers.
The transactions and financial condi-
ton of all insurance companies authorized
to do business in this state are set forth
in detail, which shows that the business
transacted by the several companies re-
porting to the department has been OF a
satisfactory character.

The total bonded Indebtedness is 1884,
8O7. 46-or about $4,000 below the limit.
While the receipts show $104 791.5l in
excess Of the disbursements, this does not
represent the available cash, as for in
stance $50. 500 so represents the money re-
ceived from the leasing of school lands,
and about $1,000 railroad taxes-held in
trust.
Although the treasury has been RIM
pretty close at times, still every warrant
has been paid when presented-a much
better condition than was supposed would
exist when the last legislature adjourned.

law, and therefore, until that clause prohibiting the importation
of Intoxicating liquors was re- enacted, it was imperative. It has
been, however, held by Judges Caldwell and Shiras, of the United
States Circuit Court, that by the terms Of the Wilson bill the pro-
hibitory law is in, full force and effect, and that it is the original
package that was killed and not the law. Owing to these various
conflicting opinions, the law and the possibility Of its enforcement
have not been fairly tested. It is, however, believed that, even
under these unfavorable conditions, it's observance is quite gen.
eal except in some portions of the State where public sentiment
has not been in full sympathy with its enforcement. 1t must be
bility OF the successful enforcement of the prohibitory law has
not had a fair trial, and that a due regard for the will of the ma
jority of the voters Of the State, as expressed in the %prohibtory
clause of the Constitution, demands a further and fair trial Of its
operation.
