SHALL THE BUTCHERS BE FORCED
INTO THE MARKET H0USE2

ing, our friend Mr. john {. Wimhsh
is ont in r card giving his reasons
why the rights Of the butchers and
convenience of the public mast not
5e considered, and the former should
be forced into the market house
whether or no.
As to the amount of salary Mr..
Wimbish receives, we woUld suggest
that if he is tired of his job, to re-
s:gn and let some one else take his
place Several gentlemen will per
form the services for the sane recon-
pense.
In his second position MIR. VIM
bish has made cuaning point, one
which will generally win; that of
touching the pocket-books of the
people. As general thing, the best
way to reach a MAE is through his
pocset-book. But there is one other
thing which is dearer to the heart of
the genus homo, especially of the
South. and that is His convenience.
The majority of men will pay their
money to obtain eoaaenience, ease
and comforts, and these are not ooD-
fined 20 the wealthy class, but ex-
tends all. the way down 80 the laborer,
of course, in a limited degree.
The qlestion of revenues is an I'M
potsnt one TO our people, especially
to the taxpayers of the city: but right
here we %ould suggest SC Mr.. VIM
bish that this matter shOU,d have re-
ceived his attention When the taxes
were levied, when this question could
have been satisfactorily settled. But
as the counc.l, of which he is mem
Der, failed to do this, he should not
now attempt to repair its neglect, at
the expense ,Cf the convenience OF a
people whose interests he is Supposed
to look after. 1t was the duty of the
council 20 have levied a sufficient tax
to meet current expenses, and we
think Mr.. Wimbish but calls the at
tention OF the public to the councils
short-sightedness.
As to Che provision of funds for
The improvement department we
i link it bat make-shift, a farce to
sat aside such sums as $4,000 or $1,000
ger annum Ger this purpose, as that
virtually means throwing away that
sum. In our opinion the only way to
successfully meet The demands Of the
OF improvement committee is for the
city to issue bonds in the sum Sl00,-
00o, or whatever may se necessary, to
put ,our,streets ta thorough macade
mized order. so &Aat with asmall sum
per annum for repairs she main thor
oughesres may be keptin perfect condi
ton 81 the year round. This last sum
could easily be SECURED by reducing
the mayors salary to about 5000 or
5000 per annum, a sufficient pay for
the services performed, having it re-
garded as position of honor.
We think Mr.. WiMbish's position
unfair; warking q great
hardship and cost on butchers who
10 not desire TO go back to the mar
let house and above AL ,entailiHg an
.dditionaliqere, trouble and vexation
IN cur good women whhch no man
hould desiso to do. Our wives,
Mothers and sisters, upon whose
houlders fall the responsibility of
.eeping house for us trifing men,
lave rights which should be respect
ID above all others on this question,
nd these are almost unanimous in
heir demands fo, letting mattegs re-
nail just:ss they are.
Thousands of lixes are saved an 8
ually by the use of Ayers Chevy ,
'ectoral. In the treatment Of Group ,
nd whoopipg cough, the Pectoral ,
as most marvellous effect. 1t sllays ,
frees theobstructed air
assages, and controls the desire to
oagh.
