TIE FIRECRACKER NUISANCE

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Many of your readers must have been glad
to see editorial of June IS with regard the
free and lawlesS of explosive crackers and
bombs by the boys OF this city. AS you say. the
Fourth of July Is hdeous enough in ITSELF ard
what is TO be said OF this practice. which is be-
coming summer custom. and seems 20 have no
bearing upon the Fourth and no connection what
ever with patriotism? In fact. Is il poor
plan TO bring up our future citizens with the idea
that IL IS quite the proper thing for them 10 MI
the streets with unbearable noise, and IRE or eX-
plosives in the very faces Of the pasSers by
That the police are quite able TO cope with the
difficulty goes without saying. That they are
willing to do SO upon special request and without
bribery l have found by personal experience. rs
no doubt others have done II remains. therefore.
Tor us citizens to be up and doing in the matter
Many are too ttmtd 10 act. many are indolent. d2d
then some are not possessed OF keen seuSiblitles
But would 10 not be possible for those who feel
strongly on the subject TO effect of COM
btnation and put stop to this disgraCeful state
of affairs which really keeps city in thiS
respect behind the march Of civilization and in q
sort of medtevai barbarism? COLOMBO.

CHILPS REFUSAL TO ARBITRATE

The impression appears TO have been created
In Chill by some means that the United States
has taken Chilfs side in the dispute over arbi-
tration with Peru, and has definitely ruled in
Cliffs favor in respect 10 the exclusion of that
question from the Pan-American Congress at
the City OF Mexico In October next Such an
impression is 10 he regretted, since it has no
warrant in truth For what purpose Ii has
been created II is not easy TO say with GER
tainty, but the presumption not unnaturally
arises that Il Is TO strengthen the Chilan
Government in its present naturalization ntti-
tude against the considerable and influential
party In Chill which favors just and reasonable
arbitration with Peru II such be the purpose
IL Is TO be hoped IL will not succeed In any
case, II is not possible that such misrepresenta-
ton will commend the Chilian cause to the
United States.
In TACT the Chilian cause was long ago pretty
seriously discredited in the United States by
Chilfs own conduct. II will be remembered
that in the fall of 1850 the United States Govern
ment acting an impartial and benevolent part,
tried TO use its good Offices for the ending of
the devastating war in South America and for

which is vouohed for by that pa

when we were publishing pa
per at Mt. Vernon, ILL.,, store
opened in the room under our of
foe. The senior proprietor came
up stairs and contracted for three
columns of space for IL months,
with locals and $500 dodgers each
week. He remarked that it WAS a
snap to get into town where 9TH
or business men did not advertise.
The firm started out on borrowed
capital. In three years it had
enough to start two stores, one in
Sedalia and one in st. Louis. 1t
dissolved partnership and each
partner took field to himself,
Byron Nugent was the partner who
made the contract, and is now the
senior member of b. Nugent g.
Brother, the great st. Louis house.
He not only owns his store, build
ing and grounds, but has erected a
nice little cottage home that cost
him $4,000. We must say that
some of the old mossbaoks who
were in business in Mt Vernon be-
fore Byron Nugent ever saw that
place, and who never advertised,
are still in business and grumbling
about dull trade and hard times" !"

THE I.EGIsLATURE
The Laughlin4. z. 4 LIQUOR Lieenspel

The Laughlin Liquor License
Bill.
CHARLESTON, Jan. Both. The
Laughlin liquor bill, which is at
present occupying a considerable
share of public attention provides
substantially as follows:
First That license shall only be
given by the Circuit Conrt on PEE
tition, which petition shall be duly
advertised not less than fifteen
days before the time fixed by the
court.
Seoc Before license shall be
granted, the petitioner shall be
shown to be law-abiding citizen,
and it shall appear that the place
to be licensed is reasonably requir-
ed, either for the accommodation
of the public or the entertainment
Itohast4angersy also that tho appli.
cant is not peouniarily interested
in other licensed saloons.
Third-The court shall hear Pc
titions of any citizens who may for
good cause object to the issuance
of the license.
Fourth-No license shall be is-
sued for sale within two miles of
an incorporated town or village in
which there is no license, without
the consent of the council thereof.
Fifth-Any person who shall be
convicted of selling without a Ii
cense shall be sentenced to pay a
fine of not less than one hundred
dollars, and undergo an imprison-
ment of not less than 80 days; any
person holding a license who sells
to minor or to an intoxicated per-
son, or who shall sell on Sunday,
shall suffer the same penalty. Any
person convicted of more than one
offense shall not again be licensed,
and the license of any person per-
mitting the customary visitation of
disreputable persons, or keeping q
disorderly place, may upon proof
be at any time revoked by the said
circuit court.
There are other minor provisions
in the bill, designated to make it
effective, but no amount is fixed
for the license tax, that being left
to the discretion of the city coun.
oil in Incorporated cities, and the
county court in districts not moor
porated. It is assumed, however,
that the operation of the act would
reduoe the number of saloons in
the towns and cities, and necessar-
lily increase the license tax, as each
licensed saloon would be in a po-
sition to command larger and
better trade.
This bill was passed to it's third
readingI in the House yesterday,
aud will no doubt pass the House
by decisive vote; and become the
law of this Stute,
There arc some good features in
the bill, but the most of them are
unreasonable.

The Achievements of washing

The Achievements of Washing-
ton and Lincoln.
Unlike in certain qualities, our
two supreme Americans were not
unlike in their supreme achieve
ments. There was no structural
difference in the work they did; it
was all of a piece. BY the scale of
hemisphere they shaped their de-
signs; but their work was larger
than hemisphere. Look upon it
now as it lies spread out before
you in the white light of world
wide criticism; it is of as noble di-
mensions as civilization itself. II

ander and Cesar, Charlemagne and

Cromwell Nay, it is greater by as
much as America, in prospect cer-
tainly, is greater than Greece OF
Rome, France or England. Europe
herself admits the fact, The Iron
Duke speaking for the Old World,
says; "I esteem Washington as
perhaps the noblest character of
modern times-possibly of all
times" And an italian scholar,

England was born, offers the stir
