THE DAY OF THE MEMOIR.
Harper's Weekly.

This is a day for the memoir and the
Renaissance, and there are no better
or more interesting agencies for the
transmission of the facts of life than
the memoir or the biography. Gibbons
autobiography gave to the world a
story of social, literary, and political
conditions such as neither history nor
fiction has been able fully to present.
When We go back in our minds to the
early civilization OF Europe. what liter
allure illumines France and Italy like
the confessions of Commines and the
Lord OF Jolnyille and Benvenuto Cell
llnl? Just now we are having spread
before us such material for the study OF
social and political conditions as the
world has rarely enjoyed. The Glad
stonian epoch in English politics is al
most completely illustrated by John
Morley the Duke OF Argyle, and others:

Besides the proprietors of the saloon
there was one other man who got mad.
very mad. He was Martin r. Mulvcy,
member of the city council and friend
OF the White House Bar owners,
spokesman for and representative OF
the saloon interests. to whom permits
sion and protection promises" had been
made before election These had now
been violated and after a stormy inter-
view with the head OF the police de-
partment he concluded. that no would
tender his resignation as member of
the council, quit politics altogether and
lay bare TO a waiting world the secret
workings Of the American" party adj
mlnistration. officials of the latter
trembled at the outlook and got busy.
The blum had worked and Mulvey
tore up his resignation and promised
with a wink and a smile 10 stay.
What happened at the council meet
ing last night showed that he had die
tated terms and that they had been
accepted. After caucus of the Amer
lean" party members into which their
chief oracle had been called for
advice, 1t was voted 10 renew the
abrogated license on the ground that
1t had been revoked without notify
ing" the bar proprietors.
Surely here is a spectacle which af-
fords food for reflection on the part OF
all decent people OF the community.
A saloon has it's license cancelled for
tho reason that 1t has violated the law
on the Sabbath day. The Chief of po-
lice declares that II shall not open its
doors again. A member of the city
Council says 1t shall or he will resign.
He writes his resignation with strong
string attached, and is seen" by app
prehensive associates, and at an oppor-
tune time withdraws it. Still all is not
settled and secret session is called,

account of the meeting and says the

How does this appeal to the erstwhile

citation and to the law and order people
