Tho absence OF rowdylsm in the streets dur
ing the recent holiday season has been remark
able, especially when the great number Of
goldsdiggers who are in town ON the loose
is taken into con sideration. Not for many
years past has there been Il Christmas season
with SO little fighting and rioting, and lest it
should be supposed that we are stating the case
as itAppeared to the residents of some of the
quieter districts of the city, we give here
. report of what took place. in the Police
Court on Tuesday morning, Mr.. p. H. r. Hill.
presiding:
On the Court being opened yesterday morn.
ing His Worship from the Bench addressed
Mr.. E. f. Wright, Deputy Inspector General
of police, stating that before the proceedings
Of the Court for the New Year began he
must congratulate him and the other officers
on the small number of cases that were
brought into the Court by them during the
Christmas holidays. Of course he could not
forget the policemen because it was through
their good conduct and behaviour that such
had been the case. In his experience as u
mFmber Of the serviee-27 years-he had
seldom seen Christmas holidays pass SO we'll
and he hoped that it may also be 90 during
the year 1894.
Mr.. Wright, on behalf of the Police, re-
turued thanks for the remarks made by His
Worship, and stated that he would convey
them to she Inspector General.
F. The most rampant nuisance during the
holidays was the discharge of fireworks,
together with the rolling of drums but the
latter nuisance will be easily suppressed after
the new law comes into force, aud the Police
authorities, we understand, have represented
to the Executive the necessity of prohibiting
entirely the discharge of fireworks Within
the city boundaries. Some reckless state
ments in q local paper this week about an
increase OF crime through the ineffciency of
the Police department. are pretty we'll
answered in the Police Magistrates unsolicit-
ed commentator. One of the statements
in question is that ''burglariss have been
common" During the past year there were
six burglaries reported. asd the number Of
larcenies from dwelling houses was much he.

been changed to June LIST. 1894. Several
amendments of the Democratic scheme vera
made preparatory to the reporting Of the Bill

The Spanish eagerness for a great expedi-
ton in Morocco has unaccountably died away.
Having accumulated twenty-five thousand
men at Meliila and, much Of the equipments
necessary for a campaign they have demanded
te mo which, as compared with their threats,
must be pronounced moderate. Marshal
Martinez Compos has asked that the Kahyles
who tire atened Melllla shall be surrendered
that a zone round the forts shall 6 declared
neutral; and that an indemnity shall be paid
Of an amount to be settled by subsequent
negotiation. To these terms the Sultan, who,
be it remembered, hal nothing to do with the
risirg, which was entirely local, has at once
assented, and orders have been issued FROM
Madrid dismissing the ReServIsts who had
been call d out, and recalling half the corps
d'arm6e sent to Melilla. The remainder Will
follow az soon as the negotiations are ccm-
pIete. The Government Of the Queen-Regent
appears, in fact, to .have yielded against its
own Judgment to a populas cry, to have had
no serious Intention OF entering OF a mountain
camp1ign and to have instructed its Marshal
TO compose the quarrel as speedily as might
be, which, fortified by tie confidence Of
opaniards in his soldiershir, he succeeded in
doing. 1t is an expensive way of doing
business; but if the Spaniards like it, that is a
matter only for them and f5r their cspditofs.
Nobody else wants a war in Morocco JUST
now.

The year very nearly closed with a naval
disaster OF the first magnitude. On Wsdnes-
day, December Goth, the '1{eSolu ton" a
new frst-clasS battle-ship, while proceeding
10 Gibraltar, encountered in the Bay of Bis
cay a gale Of great violence. The chip prov
ed herself anything hut seaworthy, and roll
cd so terribly that a life boat hoisted 30 it,.
above he load-line went under water, and
was carried way, while the fires were nearly
put out by the water that poured intothe
ship. An officer on board, described as a
man both Of pluck and practical knowledge
gives, IN a private letter published in THUS
days Times, an appalling account of the Re
solutions install iIity. IN moderate weather
soc rolled forty-two degrees each way, and
when the gale was encountered all on board
felt thatshe could only survive if her head
were kept to the sea, and shat anv deviation
Of the helm would mean destruction for the
700 men on board. The rollers" caused by
the storm were SO high that they blocked all
view,ofthe hoSizogf from'a bridge 27 fit. high.
"Forty feet is aldw estimate of the height rf
these rollers. During the squalls the whole
surface of the seq was torn up and simply
driven along in a sheet of spray mixed with
hailstones. The sight and noise were horri-
flying" The letter ends with a very signif-
cant passage I'll have no fault to find with
the ship during the gale. She performed her
part sptendidly so far as it went. What is
certainly q SCI iously matter is this evidens
want of stability. There is not a man of
mature age in tie shin bit feels he is in a
thoroughly unsafe ship" In opposition to
this, we must note that on Thursday Sir
Ughtred Kay-Shuttlerortn denied in the

and generally minimised the danger through
which the ship passed. We fear, however.
that seawo'thiness is not the stroAg point of

A Bad Condition.

We have before called attention to
a great calamity threatening the peo-
pie of the South. There is ground
for this fear. In no section of the
country is there greater need for
Liver Medicines than i'll the South,
and this has encouraged unscrupu.
lous persons to take advantage Of
peoples misery and offer them all
sorts of stuff as cure all for Liver
troubles. Their crime is greater be,
cause they must have accomplices to
help them in their nefarious work.
Their preparations are sold to the
druggists at a low price. And the
big profit to the druggist is the road
by which they reach the public.
Druggists of high honor will not be
a party to such an outrage. Beware
Of any dealer who tells you that any
Liver Medicine is just the same, or
as good as Simmons Liver Regular,
put up by J. H. Zeilin & Co. You
know it by the Red z on the pack
age. These preparations are not the
same, nor as good. Stick to the Old
Friend. Your health and life should
be worth something to you.

Marvellous RuesIts.

From a letter written by Rev. J.
Gunderman, of Dimondale, Mich,
we are permitted to make this ex-
tract: II have no hesitation in recon-
mending DR.. Kings New Discovery
as the results were almost marvellous
in the case of my wife. While I was
pastor Of the Baptist Church at
Rivers Janction she was brought
down with Pneumonia succeeding
La Grippe. Terrible paroxysms of
coughing would last hours with little
interruption and it seemed as if she
could not survive them. A friend
recommended DR.. Kings New Dis
covery; it was quick in its work and
highly satisfactory in results" Trial

Health and Happiness.
Catarrh of the stomach causes a
condition known as dyspepsia or in
digestion. It usually results from
catarrh in the throat, but sometimes
occurs in people who have never had
catarrh elsewhere. The symptoms
of dyspepsia are: Liver complaint,
biliousness, sour stomach, water
brash, bloating after eating, constl-
patton, piles, and, in many cases,
low spirits, dizzy head, sympathetic
heart palpitation, pain, indigestion,
and looseness Of the bowels. Peru
ma and Man-a-lin, taken according
to directions on bottle, will cure
every one. The following is specl,
men of the letters received for
patients:
O. S. McQuillan, Spring Hill, Iowa,
writes: 'sFour years ago last fall
my stomach, without any previous
warning, refused to perform its func-
tons, and l soon lost strength.
During this time food was forced
through my stomach by using Ca
thartics. With flesh wasted away,
strength exhausted so that it took
all my energy to even get into a
bath tub, hopes all gone, I began to
take Peru ma and Man-a-lin, follow
ing free advice which DR.. Hartman
gave me. In short time gould
eat nourishing food, and the piles,
kidney trouble and constipation dis
appeared. Flesh, strength, and a
splendid appetite returned, and l
