KEYES LITTLE GAME.
Makes Another Attempt to
Get a License for His
Low Dive.

VIM. H. Keyes, who was refused
liquor license for a nasty little dive on
Washington street adjoining the Weldon
Building. by the Board of Aldermen at
their last meeting, has begun scheme to
defeat those who knocked him out. 1t is
said that he had openly boasted that he
would get q license, no matter who
kicked and this is how he proposes to
gain his object:
A man named Patrick ]. Burns of
Grand street, has put in a petition for
license for Keyes' place, and those who
are supposed to know say that Burns is
merely tool of Keyes. The last license
was issued to Frank Keyes, brother.
William, however, controlled the place.
Burns has deposited a sum of money with
the City Clerk, and will run the place un-
til next week, when the Aldermen will
meet and act on that and 25 other petit
tionS.
Burns has frequently supplied Keyes with
cigars, and it is stated that he has said
that the place has not been properly
kept. Burns has, therefore, consented to
let Keyes get the license out in his name
to get the latter out of hole. Burns
doesn't care about getting the license
but is only anxious to secure it on Keyes
account.
Keyes' little move will be defeated, for
the Excise Committee have heard SO
many discreditable things about this
joint that they will not give a license to
it. It is proposed to pass a resolution
instructing the City Clerk not to receive
any petitions for license for that house.
This will give Keyes his quietus. 1t was
hat fhc Of bn
be injured, but it appears that the owner
himself signed the remonstrance. He
doesn't want dive in his place.
The case against Keyes is that disorder
ly men and women both white and black,
frequented the saloon at all hours of the
day. Men lounged at the door and sat
on the steps of the Weldon Building s
side door, decorated the sidewalk with
tobacco juice and other filth, and used
such language that the lawyers in their
offices overhead We're obliged to shut
down the windows. Ladies visiting their
legal advisers had their ears shocked
with the coarse ribaldry of the dirty crew
loafing about the door. 1t was on ac-
count of this that the remonstrance was
signed by every lawyer in the building.
Should any license be granted to Keyes,
ttlS SAME oIu state o1 tnliSS VIII exist,
and they will be obliged to move their
offices elsewhere.
Chief Murphy's men have long had their
eyes on Keyes' low dive. Citizens gener-
ally are decidedly opposed to any more
saloons in that neighborhood, and the Ex-
else Committee and the Board generally
have been universally commended for
their action in wiping out places which
are hotbeds for thieves and resorts of
profiigate characters

''Gorman's hobby for yaars,'' says Washington letter, ''has be:l get ting even with Cleveland. If this is true his hobby is at last gsa flied. MT. Cleveland is out of office, and SO, practically, is MT. German. If this does not constitute a degree of even ness we do net understand the mean ing of the word. In fact we fancy that we voice the sentiment Of the country when we assert that in no other way could MT. German so sasis- factcrily ''get even'' with the ex-presi- demt. Now, if MT. German will go to some quiet college town and make as good a showing for his country as MT. Cleveland has made we will under take to contribute the -'booties," and of the right color, too.

NEW STOCK OF SILVER.

Japan will soon have silver to sell, and that without having had to mine it. The date of the period is not fixed, but the transfer of the yen pieces in other parts of the Orient TO the empire has of late been SO ex- tensive that it will doubtless be an nounced in the near future. The gov ernment is to give six monlihs' notice of its readiness to redeem the coins for gold. The proportion at which they are to be exchangeable is B. 348 yen of silver to one of gold. The price of the less precious metal has declined somewhat since the pledge was issued, and consequently the gov ernment will lose by the transactions of redemption. The quotation was
