The editor OF the Poplar Bluff Citi-
zen iSexcited. The little squib that
appeared in the DEMOCRAT got him
off his box and he raves and roars
like a mad lion. He calls the editor
of the DEMOCRAT all kinds of mean
names and goes so far as to accuse
him of being a candidate for Congress
or some other big paying Office. Now
the editor of the DEMOCRAT cannot be
induced to believe he is a mean man.
He is a Republican and of course he
is a christian. and if christians are
mean men the Lord is not doing the
world justice when he Is selecting
men to preach the gospel. The editor
of the DEMOCRAT is not Il preacher.
but he tells the truth, and that's more
than the preachers who are the Lords
special agents DO. If the editor OF the
Citizen wants a Democratic mob 70
hang Z MAJ in Butler county it may
be all right from a Butler county
Democratic view. but Intelligent chris
tan people do not believe in mob
law.

Secretary Carlisle has been trying
for two years to push silver dollars

demonstrates that so fast as the coins

have been reduced from about $780,
900. OO0to rather more thanSl43, 900, 600,

For a Second Church,

Rev. Oller preached very able sermon
on Sunday morning at the Presbyterian
Church on the need of second church Of
that denomination N Butler He said that
the impression had COTTON out that the
Presbyterian church was unable to proper
ly accommodate persons attending services
there The fact il that while the church
has ample seating capacity for all that at
tend, it has been found impossible to assign
pews to the families belonging to the con-
gregation in such manner that all men,
bers may be comfortably seated. Mr.. Oh
ler cited several cases where from 10 to Is
persons were assigned TO one pew with g
seating capacity of but 6. He said there
were l5 or more pews utterly inadequate
to seat the families assigned to them The
lecture room also no longer properly ae
commodities the Sunday School and steps
should be taken for more room. Several
plans had Ueen suggested aud they seri-
ously considered enlarging the present
church building but architects advised
against it. 1t seemed Lecessary that
second Presby terian church be formed in

An Alley Ordnance Needed.

We have received communication re-
hecting upon a certain property owner for
building set of stone steps from the rear
of his building into the alley, and thus
using for his private benefit some three
feet of the width of said alley. The writer
points cut that if the property owner on
the other side of the alley would likewise
occupy three feet Of it, there would barely
be space left for team to pass. Another
objection to the building of steps out upon
ALLEYS is that they interfere with the mar
row paths or side walks that can be made
along them, thus forcing pedestrians to
walk around them-often into the mud.
Lots facing the alleys of the ceutral pOr-
tion of this town are beginning to be used
for business purposes, e, livery stables,
blacksmith shops, carpenter and paint
shops. etc. 1t stands TO reason that no
person should be allowed to use part of an
alley permanently for his private benefit,
and our Council should pass an ordinance
regulating the use of alleys as soon as pos
sib,e.
