pany?
What! Are we to wait until Mr.. Carey
sees fit to allow the modern improve
ments in this city, or offer satisfactory
accommodation to the people on his own
answered by others. Our representa-
tives have laid aside all distinction be-
tween an absolute monarchy and re-
public in this day of equality and freedom
in the exercise of public rights by the
people.
This is not the result of a sudden de-
termination attributable to inadvertence
or mistake, but cold and deliberate de-
nunciation of the peoples rights in the
presence of multitude of people de-
manding at their hands the performance
OF their sworn duty. In this munich
pality under which we exist the right of
government is vested in the people, and
reserved by them. This is one of the
distinguishing qualities of free country;
they speak and act through their repre-
sentatives, that they elect only as the
instrument through which the will and
power of the people is executed. and are
responsible for violation of their trust.
II is their duty to inform themselves of
the public opinion in the interest of any
public cause that is before them for con-
Sideration.
With the full knowledge of all the facts
and every circumstance in their connec-
ton, do they tell us that they have exc
cuted the will of the people, and acted in
furtherance of public interest and Justice Z?
Do they tell us that it is for our benefit to
drive out capital and deny the right of
public improvements? They must an
swer these questions in the affirmative, or
else admit that there was no public ground
for their action. Every earnest entreatv
has been openly ignored. Whatever NAV
be the charges and complaints, as result
of this action, made against this city in
the future by Eastern visitors and those
seeking homes we charge to them They
have brought upon themselves burden,
which, | apprehend, will prove in the
end to be greater than their individual
strength can sustain.
We wipe our hands this day from their
acts and the responsibility that will fol-
low. The result of this days determina-
ton we shall attribute to their own char
acter in life and to their memory in death

Can't You Catch On

To known means of overcoming that
obstinate disorder, constipation OF
course you can. Then why don't you !?
Ask those who have tried it, and they
will tell that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
is a matchless laxative, effectua1 without
violence-thoroughly Alternative, but per-
fectly reliable. II invigorates, too, no
less than it regulates the system, and it is
the permaneney of its regulating effects,
since, if vigor is lacking in the region of
the bowels, the stomach or the liver,
healthful activity in those organs is
suspended. Deobstruents and catharties
IN general are simply that and nothing
more; they relax the bowels merely with
out invigorating them, and as their laxa-
tive action is usually abrupt and violent,
they really tend to weaken the organs
Use the bitters also for malaria, rheuma-
tlsm, indigestion, debility and kidney
trouble.

Lively Betting on the Free-fo for-all

Great interest is being taken in the
opening of the new swimming baths, and
already book has been opened here by
an amateur book-making firm on the
tree-for all scramble that is to take place
on the evening of the opening. The bet
ting up to the present time has been quite
spirited, which has caused the odds to
fluctuate considerably, necessitating a
revision of the board prices several times.
The reporters have had considerable
trouble in obtaining the quotations, but
have succeeded in securing those up to
last evening. 1t will be seen that Richard
Dale, the feather-weight athlete, is the

NINETY DAYS.
That's What Casey Gets for Abusing
His Family.

George Casey, who was convicted on
Tuesday of disturbing the peace of his
wife and family, was yesterday sent to
the County Jail by Judge Cravens for
ninety days.
The Judge asked Mrs. Casey if it would
be hardship on her to send him to Jail,
and she replied that she could very easily
get along without him. She had to sup
port her family, anyhow, by taking in
washing, for her husband was in the
habit of spending all of the money he
earned for drink
Upon this showing, and in the absence
of any testimony in Casey's behalf, the
court concluded that three months be-
hind the bars might do the unnatural
husband and father some good.

HAD ENOUGH OF 1T.
The Citizens of Washington VIII Abol-
ish the Bathing Nuisance.

At last the local officials of our yis-a-yis
neighbor have come to a realization of
the fact that the respectable people of
Washington are being scandalized by the
indecent conduct of men and boys. who
each evening assemble on the bank of the
river-ostensiblyt to battle, but in reality to
insult ladies by exhibiting themselves in
a naked condition.
The RECoRD-U UNION called attention to
this matter two weeks ago, and the in
decencies that were practiced on this side
of the river were checked. The nuisance
was then transferred to the Yolo side.
The people over there have stood about
as much of it as they are going to, and
several heads of families have charged
their shotguns halfway to the muzzles
and will turn them loose if the scaIlawags
persist in their indecencies.

TO TEST IT'S VALIDITY

First Arrest Under the New County
License Ordinance.
Yesterday Constable Brisseu arrested
A. Motroni, proprietor of saloon at
Fifteenth and X streets, for conducting
his place without county license. Mo-
troni is one of those who failed to take
out license under the new county ordi-
nance, which fixes the rate at $50 per
quarter, and his arrest was made on COM
plant of License Collector Dolan.
The President of the Liquor Dealers,
Association at once instructed Counselor
Anderson to procure the necessary bail
for Motroni, which was done. The case
which is understood to be a test one
will be heard in Justice Henry's court.

Why Judge Catlin should have been
overlooked as probable starter, it is
difficult to understand The Judge
gained quite a reputation at the former
swimming baths as an expert in the
water, and considerable rivalry existed
between him and Mr.. Dale for champion
ship honors. The book makers should
place him at about the same figure they
have Mr.. Dale.

The Correct Version.

Allusion has / ee mae Of late to H.
bel suit brought by hotel man without
license against Nose, Littlefeld. fou err
ly publisher Of the Republican Clarion Of
which the SOMERSET REPORTER is hum
BILE successor. 1t is story worthy Of
correct rendering and We have ascertain
ed the facts from source entirely relia-
be in order to give them to our read
ers.
Moses Lttlefeld Of Skowhegan made a
trip to Augusta upon business connected
with the Legislature and dinet at the
Stanley House, at that tine 1859 the prin-
ciple hotel of the Capitol city.
There was quite a rush at the house
that day, Mr.. Littlefield did not get serv-
ed promptly aud when he did get served
the meal was hardly up to the require
ments of $50 pounds of Skowbegan man
hood, the Editor Of the Clarion did not
make very satisfactory meal, aud when
the next issue Of his paper appeared the
Stanley House was berated In vigorous
language.
George W. Kicker, proprietor Of the
Stanley House, by his attorney, Sewall
Lancaster of Augusta, brought suit
against Moses LittleAeld; publisher, for
libel. laying the damages at 10000.
This worried the good editor exceedingly
as such things naturally would any man
and he sought the advice c I Hon. D. d.
Stewart of St. Adams, and retained him
Ia the case.
Mr.. Stewart, while at Augusta attend
ing the NEXT rm of the Law court, quiz
city satisfied himself by visiting the City
Clerks office that Mr.. Kicker had taken
out no license as an inn-holder, IS the
law required. When the case came up
for trial at Augusta Mr.. Stewart and his
client were on hand but the client knew
nothing of the nature of the defense.
Squire Lancaster opened the case for
the plaintiff. The facts of the publica-
tIon WAS admitted by the defense. The
plaintiff called witnesses and claimed
special damages because of the large cir
cnlation Of the paper among the patrons
of the hotel, and stopped"
At this juncture Mr.. Stewart deliber-
ately moved q nonsuit upon the ground
that Kicker had not shown that he, at the
time Of the ale re libel, held license as
an inn holder, and II be did not hold such
llcease was doing an unlawful business
and could not be libeled while pursuing
al illegal vocation, citing many authori-
ties to sustain his motion.
Lancaster asked the Court to allowshim
to send to the City Clerks ONCE for EVIL
dence of his authority and was given the
privilege but 1t avsile d nothing. He then
argued in . general way against the
plaIuiiEs motion. but Judge Rice, who
pres ded prompt y ruled In favor Of the
defense and ordered the nonsuit. Thus
Mr. Littlefelj got his case and went home
happy and the plaintiff paid the costs Of
court.

First: When the town abolished thu

der to vest In the town full title to The
property then owned by the severa
school districts, were not all taken, Stree
that time many thousands Of dollars OF
the towns money have been expended OF
school buildings and grounds in the va
rious districts. And yet to-day the tow
cannot convey good title to any of thu
property formerly owned and controlled
BY the school districts. Such state OF
things ought not to be suffered to exis
longer and with view to heal this de
feet of title, have, with the concur
renee of my associates, prepared a draf'
of . bill to be introduced into the com
ing Legislature, which draft | will sub
