BE PAID
The Municipal Bills for the
Month of July.
MORE ALDERMANIo sMALLNEss.

Ane !" AyoF Acknowledges He Is In Error in
aPrevious Ruling, and the Republicans
Seize the Opportunity to Vent Their
speen and CompIicate Matters.
At the opening of last nights
meeting of the city council, Mayor
Medill explained that in his ruling at
the previous meeting, holding that a
two-thirds vote was necessary to APP
peal from the decision of the chair,
he had been in error and he took oc-
casion to withdraw his ruling of that
time. The mayors decision in ques-
ton was the outgrowth of an at
tempt on the part of some of the re-
publican leaders to override him in
his determination to insue the pay
ment of bills the city properly owed
for services rendered, and maintain
ing that such bills were part and
parcel of the ordinance pay roll for
July and should not be separated
from it. This he still maintains, and
the majority Of people in the city
support him in this theory while
condemning the aldermanic childish
ness characteristic of the opposition
to his course.
Foss' Opportunity.
No sooner had Mayor. Medill ex-
planned his position last evening,
than Aid. Foss was on his feet to
take advantage of it. and give express
sion of his indicative spirit toward
Officers Carncs and Kautz, by seek
ing motion that their bills for pay
for July be stricken from the ordi-
nance. BY strictly party vote it
finally prevailed, and that it was
partisan rather than in a sense of
Justice and fairness, was evinced by
the fact that Aid. Schroeder, of the
Third ward, who heretofore acted in
favor of paying the officers. was
obliged to stand with his political
colleagues for the defeat OF principle,
for the mere qualification of party
spite.
On the question that the ordinance
was not subject to further amend
ments the mayor was undoubtedly
correct. and under no parliamentary
usage is an act subject to all the
promiscuous amendments that may be
proposed to be attached to it.
The mayor having by his volun-
tary acknowledgment that he was
in error at the time he made the pre-
vious ruling. evinced his disposition
to act fairly, Notwithstanding that
he had previously carried his point.
anu notwithstanding his firmness in
seeing Officers Carnes and kautz
through with this matter should
have been met by the council in q
conciliatory spirit. But the repub.
lican aldermen neglected the grace
full thing. Aid. Foss forced the is
sue that only increased the unhappy
complications existing, and widened
the breach.
The mayor stated this morning he
was still undecided as to whether he
would append his signature to the
July pay roll ordinance as adopted

John Van Ries was arrested TODAY
by Officer Etzel for assaulting Henry
Ventreed. Both are members of the
firm conducting the butcher shop in
the St. James hotel building and the
trouble grows out of difficulties of a

WON BOTH.
Andrews Pitching and the Twins Field
Work too Much for the QuIncys.

Andrews pitched two of the finest
games of the season at Twin-City
park yesterday, winning them both,
only II hits being made off him in
the IS innings. To pitch one good
game of ball is enough for the aver
age twirler, but Andrews pitched
the second contest with apparently
more ease and effectiveness than he
did the first. His support could not
have been better, the field work of
the boys being far superior to their
opponents, and not an error was
made in the first contest. The home
runs of Sweeney and Katz were nota-
BILE features of the first game. as was
also the hitting of Zeis, who made
five hits out of six times at bat. The
score:

Archdsacon Farrar. in the April mum.
Der Of the Contemporary Resiew. makes .
sensible arg ument in behalf Of total alb
stention from alcoholic beverages. DR..
Farrar does not pretend that it il . daty
for anyone TO abstain entirely from alco-
holic drinks. except where it 10 necessary
for sslf-pTeservation: hs does not assert
that it 10 . sin to drink wine: he comedies
that sour Lords miracle at Cans proves
thst the moderate use of the fermentsd
juice of the grape 10 not forbidden" Our
Anglican divine quotes with approval the
dietum Of St. Thomas Aquinas that "no
food or drink l. unlawful in ITSELF" and
he thinks that Archbishop Walsh states
the matter with perfect accuracy when he
says: Total abstinence II not imposed
upon mankind In general by any law Of
God. Nor il it imposed upon all Christians
by the Law of their baptism."
Nevertheless DR.. Farrar practices total
abstinence, while he holds that the ques-
ton Of abstinence or non-abstinence II
one y hich can be settled only by the i'm
dividual conscience and in connection
with individual circumstances The de-
eision depends on grounds Of personal
judgment and personal expediency.
DIR. Farrar then frankly gives the res
sons why, ~ the ordinary rule Of his own
life, he does not himself use fermsntsd
drinka He holds, FIRST. that in thousands
greatly increase the chances Of family
happiness through the money thereby
saved being applied to other uses. A
computation Of the Gatist is quoted, to
the effect that even six glasses Of wine,
consumed daily in middle-class house
hold comprising two or three adult per-
sons. would cost some $50 year. and six
glasses of spirits over $40 year. The
amount expended upon drink by the
poorer population of the United Kingdom
has been estimated by some statisticians
ct $500. 600, 600 annually.
In the second place, Archdeacon Farrar
holds that aside from motives Of economy
. man may wisely become . total alb
.stainer If from hereditary or other causes
he feels that alcohol might under any
circumstances bs to him . source Of moral
danger.
DR.. Farrar truthfully says thst thou
sands Of men and women. originally Of re-
fined instincts and high principles have
become the victims of alcoholism through
the influences Of solitude, depression. mis-
fortune and old age. For these reasons
alone DR.. Farrar would advocate total
abstinence ~ tho highest worldly wisdom
In . multitude Of cases even if alcohol were
~ rule beneficial to health, bat he be-
lievss that alcohol, even in moderation. 10
not normally conducive to wsll-being, but
is injurious to it. and finally DR.. Farrar
urges total abstinence to the end Of infiu.
encing by example others who need to be
shielded from temptation. Archdeacon
Farrar simply aims to convince fair
minded men that the example of total alb
stinence might be profitably followed by
many who now dsspise it, and might tend
to an immense amslioration of the condi.
