INTERESTING DATA.
Furnished BY Postmaster Burroughs in
the Interest of Public Building
For Portsmouth.

q
That the people of this city are deep
been made in the past to secure pub
lie building here needs no special, com.
ment at this time. Everyone, without
an exception, who has the welfare Of
Portsmouth at heart would be highly
gratified to see the efforts that have
been, and are now being. made bloom
into the real thing. And, indeed, 1t
would not be at all surprising If their
fondest hopes were not fully realized
before the close of the year 1900. A
bill has been introduced in Congress by
Hon. W. A. Young for the erection of
a public building here, which has the
support of many of the Western. as we'll
as q large number Of the Southern,
members OF the House. Everything
seems now favorable for the passage Of
this bill at the present session of Con-
gress. Many Of our leading citizens
and business men have been using their
best efforts for some time in this di-
rection, but made little or no progress.
The matter has also been given consid-
cradle attention by Postmaster s. L..
Burroughs, who is thoroughly in SYM
pathy with the move, as q public build
ing here would give him better and
more commodious quarters for the ac-
commodation of the rapidly growing
postal business in this section. Mr.
Burroughs has been diligently at work
among his Congressional friends for
some time, each of whom have prom
ised him their support when the mat
ter comes UP for action in the House.
and in this connection the supervising
architect of the Treasury Department
at Washington addressed letter to
Mr.. Burroughs q few days since re-
Questing that he furnish the Depart
ment with such information as would
be of interest to the Committee on Pub
lie Buildings and Grounds. so that they
might see the needs for such building
rs contemplated in the measure now
pending before the House. He also
gives some very important data as to
the growth and population Of the city,
with an estimated increase, as well as
its prospective commercial advance
menf for the next decade. The follow
ing statement has been prepared, CIV
ing complete data relative to the pos

reach the people who vote sometimes
yes and sometimes no on the license
question"
r Mr.. Greene brought up the question of
taxes, showing that the citizens pay
more taxes through the saloon than
they would We're they taxed directly
on property.
TT is said that liquor will be sold
even if there were no saloons. yet with
policemen patrolling the streets, do
you mean to say that there will be as
much liquor sold than from the 100
open saloons?" he concluded amid APP
plause.
After a selection by the band, G. w.
Robinson, an eX-saloon keeper, spoke
for short time on the evils of the
saloon. There are men who vote for
license who never go near a saloon to
see how bad it is he said. 81 tell
such men to do their duty in rescuing
those who are going down. / have sold
thousands of gallons of rum, and have
seen what it does. Men should be
proud to say that they have voted no.
license. Would to God the ladies could
vote (Applause.) They would make
the men ashamed of themselves. You
men may say you have nothing to do
in this matter, but you have a great
deal to do with it. Worcester has some
of the worst places in it in the coun-
try, supported by those who vote for
license"
A SOLO Down in the license saloon"
was sung by Alfred Bellingame and
then
Rev. Roland A Nichols of the Church
Of Christ spoke, saying he was touched
deeply by the words of the song, and
that he did not know how to begin to
speak II speak as a man who loves
NV fellow men," he said, "and so in
few words I wish to add my mite to
what has been said. If the saloon is
a good thing, we should encourage it.
But they say, Lets tax it, for it does
harm" Suppose a man came to Wcr-
cester with smallpox germs, and Of
fered to pay $1,000 a year for the priv
ilege of scattering those germs But the
saloon kills it's thousands, while small
pax really frightens only a few people.
Some people say that the saloon keep
ers have their rights. There are those
who want to keep the saloons because
they keep the stores occupied. But I'd
be willing to average things up. Let the
saloon Keepers bring in their bills of
damages If the saloons should be
closed. And against this let us put the
bills of damages from the mothers, the
wives, the children of the drunkards,
