the serpents had an interesting way of
warning us of their presence, much af-

tails against dry leaves, thus produ-

UNJUST DISCRIMINATION.

Our attention has been called
to the operation of city ordinance
that seems to work great hard
ship upon very worthy class of
our citizens. We refer to the or
dinance prohibiting the sale on our
streets Of the products of our farm
ers and truckers, unless a license
is paid. This is very narrow and
discriminating regulation, as 1t de.
prives the farmer of the right to
dispose of any of the surplus crops
he may raise and also deprives the
business man Of the opportunity to
purchase or make exchange, or of
the consumer to buy fresh vege-
tables, eggs, poultry and fruit,
etc. Let those who occupy stalls
keep on at the same old stand,
paying for conveniences offered by
the city and supplying their GUS
toners, but do not deprive the
transient dealer of the right to
dispose of a few melons, chickens
or eggs, that he brings to the
house of a person who never visits
the market, consequently no harm
is done to those who rent stalls.
The prohibition of trade and the
interchange of articles by our
farmers aud merchants is relic of
barbarism aud should be wiped
out, giving full aud free scope for
all business that may offer.
The enforcement of this law has
worked great hardship 10 many
cases, in one especially SO, that of
an old negro sick in bed, who sent
his child to town to sell four chick
ems aud to buy medicines with the
proceeds. The argus-eyed officials
arrested the child, took charge of
the horse aud vehicle, and only
after paying 800 and over was
party aud property released. We
hear of a similar instance of an
aged white lady. These are all
too petty and insignificant offences
to be met with such exaggerated
punishment. The officers cannot
be criticised in the least, they are
doing their duty, but the law
should be condemned, and should
be repealed at the earliest session
of the Council. aud in its stead
pass such regulations rs will pro.
mote trade to larger extent
among our country people aud the
townspeople. 1t is claimed that
trade is dull. Why make 1t more
pronounced by excluding a traffic
that could do much to tide over
dull times.

There has been great talk in the
beef combine circles about a short
age in the supply of beef. The
shortage does not appear, consid-
ering that the customhouse reports
show that our exports OF meat pro-
ducts during the month Of May
were over SIS, 000,0 600 in value, or
at the rate of 500, 100000 year.
Yet under the plea of shortage the
beef trust advanced the price, and
so compelled good many people
to stop eating beef in the United
States. That appears to have been
for the benefit Of foreign consum-
ers, who get their beef cheaper
than we do, although it is largely
imported from America. We may
stop all this lootiug by repeating the
tariff aud encouraging the importa-
ton OF foreign beef.

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.

The most imposing word in the
English language is liberty. Its
mention and contemplation opens
the door to the highest aud most
heart-stirriug emotions of the hn-
man race. Down the corridor of
time, Liberty has tagged the
human soul to nobler heights and
sublimer purposes and in it's re
sistless sweep makes the hero, the
patriot and the statesman.
The fanaticism, the trail of
cruelty, the blood of pagan, the
torture of the hereto and the moan
of the agnostic marks the mile
stone of the crusader of religion,
but the fragrant flower of patriot
ism, the refreshing strength of the
rights of man, the grander achieve
ments of the human mind and the
enlarged purposes of human exist.
ence are nurtured and grown in
the bed of Liberty. Without it
human life becomes a barren
waste, a desert of time, aud pur-
poseless vegetation. Ambition,
hope and energy wither; humanity
staggers aud founders without the
light, the cheering illumination of
freedom. It is a condition as in
dispensable to human nature as
water aud air to the body. The
sacrifices. made to obtain it are
worth all the blood, the muscle
aud intelligence of the nation.
