The Garbage Contract.

Chas. Becker submitted bond in the
sum of $4,000 upon his garbage con-
tract, with Louis Zoeckler and Walter
Marshall as sureties. There was
motion on the Democratic side to re-
jcct, which was lost by strict party
vote. The motion stirred up a little
squabble, particularly when Mr. Kin
delberger made the assertion that the
Democrats were trying to make a party
measure of it, and denied the mild
imputation of Mr. Healy that the Re-
publicans make it a party measure
when they caucused on it. The OBJ
lection il the First Branch was also
unavailing. A motion to accept was
adopted by a party vote in both
Branches.

Annual License Ordinance.

In the Second Branch the first BUSH
ness taken up was the annual license
ordinance, which went over at the last
meeting under objection by Mr.. Brad
bury. The only change, as before re-
ported, was in the license to fortune tell
ers and clairvoyants, which has here
tofore been 800 year, and under the
new ordinance was $40 per month. An
effort to cut circus license down from
s125 to 500 a day failed. The ordi-
nance was adopted without opposition.
The First Branch made the fortune
telling provision the same as last year
and the Second concurred.

half, but was not found in that con-
dition. 1t was exhibited to a Republi
can ring leader, so the Register is in
formed, with the remark:

terrogative reply of the aforesaid r. l.

There Is no warrant in equity for separating
mill folk from other members OF the commu.
unity. The cannot be dealt with except as q
4part Of the whole population.
The disposition to Interfere with the cotton
Ill labor may result more from desire to
ure great corporations than to benefit the
dren OF laboring people. As a rule the

children. The habit of working is an

Neglect is the mortal enemy of the

some cases does not erupt at all. Il
Idecayed, the first. should be fillet

remain until their places are ready t
