Our Honorable Board of Rum

Our .HonorabIe' Board of Rum
The Board of Rulnsters, commonly
known as the Board of Aldermen,
took five minutes to grant 800 saloon
licenses last night. They had to lay
the Fire Escape ordinance over for a
week. OF course, every member Of
the Board wants to feel sure that it
will work the way it is intended to
before it goes through.
And then what a rush there will be
60 get on that Fire Escape Commit
tee!
We wonder whether it will cost
more to put up fire escapes or not to
put them up?
What is the Building Inspector for ?
Why is not the duty of enforcing the
law referred to him? Is there too
much in it for one man, and he a mere
employee?
The next Legislature ought to
amend this law SO as to prevent
abuses.
We want an Excise Board in this
city, too, one to which rumsellers are
not eligible. OF the twelve members
of the present Board of Aldermen,
nine keep or are financially interested
in whiskey shops. Several OF these
are low dives. And yet these fellows
are permitted in five minutes to Ii
cense 500 saloons. No wonder the
city is fiouted by her neighborsl
WE feel no sympathy whatever for
the ballot box suffers. 1t is we'll that
their criminal spirit should be broken.
We are in favor of dealing leniently
with them. Their conviction and
confinement in State Prison afford the
public a much needed guarantee
against similar reckless enemies in the
future; but we can see no use in
wreaking mere vengeance on a hand
full of insignificant fellows. whose ig-
was their ruin-with about
two exceptions.
We are glad to see law and right
vindicated by the practical enforce
ment of the sentences of the Court.
But, all good purposes having been
served, we favor clemcncy. These
men have had an awful experience.
1t may be regarded as certain that
they will never again take part in
similar crimes. Their fate will have
a determined effect on other rascals
for years to come.
Within the next three months we
should think many, if not all of them,
might well be granted tickets OF leave.

CHOLERA TRAVELS WESTWARD
The general direction of cholera cpl
demic is westward, and, it is said, it
usually starts at the beginning of sea-
son about where it was stopped by
frost the previous year. There was one
marked exception to this rule-when
in 1854 the disease was very prevalent
throughout Spain, southern France and
Italy 1t was then feared it would
break out again the following year and
continue its westward march to the
United States, but it did not appear at
all in western Europe the next year,
nor did it cross the Atlantic. 1t is pos
sible it may be confined to Europe this
year and then disappear as it did in
1854. The disease is regarded as very
severe this year, and information from
some Of the cholera-stricken places
gives the percentage of fatal cases as
high as fifty,

THE FIGHTING MoLE.-A writer in

THE FIGHTING MoLE.-A writer in
Zoologist gives us a new idea of the
characteristics of the mole:
People ordinarily look upon the mole
as sluggish and harmless creature,
spending its life in cropping blindly
under ground. As usual. the popular
idea is mistaken one. The mole is in
reality the most ferocious and most &C
tice of animals. Imagine it magnifed
to the size of q tiger and you would
have more terrible beast than the
world has yet seen: Though with de-
fective powers of vision and therefore
incapable of following its prey by sight,
it would be agile beyond conception,
springing this way and that as it went
along, leaping with lightning quickness
upon any creature which 1t met, rend-
ing it to pieces in o moment, devouring
the yet warm and bleeding flesh and in
stantly seeking with hunger Unsuitable
for fresh victim.

A BREAK IN THE CABLE.-The peo-
of Washington are beginning to learn
that the fine new cable road is not an
unmixed blessing. Yesterday evening,
shortly before four o'clock, a gripman
on down town car on the avenue line
failed to pull up his grip in passing
Seventh street, and, in consequence Of
his neglect, the cross street cable was
cut in half and the avenue conductor
was badly damaged, traffic being block
ed on both lines. The avenue line,
however, was started up again III about
half an hour, as the only repairs need
cd were easily made. 1t was two hours
later, however, before the severed ca
BILE at Seventh street could be spliced.
In the meantime the road was blocked
and all traffic suspended. Anumber OF
persons from this city who were on the
Seventh street cars to take the ferry
boat for Alexandria missed the boat i'll
consequence of the accident.

Trouble Anticipated.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Aug. 25.-Last
night at about II o'clock Sheriff George
Morrow received a call from F. W.
Shirley, warden of the Coalburg prison,
asking for 100 men. He wanted them
presumably for the purpose of protect
ing the convicts. The posse was Or
ganized Immediately on receipt of
the telegram, but before the sheriff
and men left the court house, second
telegram was received to the effect
that all was quiet for the night and
that trouble might be expected to-day.
1t has been known for some weeks
past that the miners in this section
were growing sore over the convict
lease system which is now in vogue
throughout the Birmingham district
and trouble has been anticipated.

The strikes at am End.

The chief officers of the locomotive
Firemen's Union and other railroad la
Dor organizations, after conference at
Buffalo, informed Grand Master Sween-
ey, of the Switchmen's Union, that
their organizations would not join in
the switchmen's strike, and at mid
night Grand Master Sweeney, the head
of the switchmen's order, officially rec
ognized the fact that the strike move
ment of switchmen, which was inaugu-
rated twelve days ago in Buffalo, has
failed. The strike was declared of.
The men who were formerly employed
as switchmen in the railway yards in
Buffalo were before daylight notified by
their local officials that the purpose for
which they stopped their employment
has not been accomplished, and that
they are now at liberty to get back
their places if they can.
The strikers continued Tuesday night to
prosecute the non-union switchmen, draw
coupling pins from CARS and commit other an
noying acts. Gov. Flower yesterday issued
proclamation offering reward of 800 for
the arrest and conviction OF each person yio-
lating the State law forbidding interference
with the running of railroad trains
A car loaded with ingots was blown up
with dynamite at Pittsburg yesterday. 1t

MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-The stock market
WAS fairly active this morning and after an
irregular opening scored fractional advances
all along tho limo which were afterwards in
great measure lost. First prices were in most
cases only slightly changed from those OF
last evening, and generally were higher, and
the subsequent gains were confined TO small
fractions except in few instances. The late
dealings were marked by less animation and
declining tendency in prices, many stocks
retiring below the opening figures. There
was, however better temper in the last part
of the hour and at IL o'clock the market
while dull was steady at irregular changes

MoNARCHs WHO DIED OF VIOLENCE.
A curious list has recently been made
of the kings and emperors of Europe
who have been overtaken by misfor-
tune. 1t appears that 364 have been
ousted from their thrones, los have been
condemned to death and executed, 81
have committed suicide, 81 are on rec
ord as having been placed under re-
straint in consequence of having be-
come insane, 123 have been killed in
warfare, % have been tortured to death
and 251 have been officially declared
to have been assassinated. The num-
Der of monarchs who are suspected of
having been assassinated is infinitely
greater. 1t will be seen from this that
the possession of throne is not with
out its extremely Objectionable and dis
agreeable features.
