Adopt Inspector Ordinance.


The electrical inspector ordinance
which has been under consideration
for three years, was adopted by vote
of 8 to 4. 1t is likely that Mayor
Schaffer will veto the measure The
ordinance creates new Office to be
filled by the appointment of the mayor
1t provides a system of fees and
charges by which the Office will be
maintained at the expense of the users
of electricity. Alderman Tuckis led
the opposition to the ordinance, claim
ing it to be imperfect, and creating ar
unjust burden. Alderman Lawler and
others argued that in view of the fact
that the council has been working on
this plan for three years, it would be
better to pass the ordinance, and pat
it in operation. Then if it proves un.
satisfactory or imperfect, it may be
amended or repealed.
The vote on the ordinance was as
follows.

many of their other ills are due to this
congestion in the bowels which fills tha

breath, bad complexion, sick headache
and such like ills are primarily caused
by constipation or indigestion.
Women should be happy TO learn of a
remedy that cures constipation aud Indigestion.

HOPMEN ASK PROTECTION.
British Hold Great Demonstrations Fa
voring Import Duty.

London, May 1S.-A great army OF
men and women interested in the hoI
industry in England, estimated to mum
Der more than $4,000, held a demonstra
tion in Trafalgar Square this afternoon
in favor of imposing a duty of $40 on
every hundredweight of hops imported
into this country.
Special trains brought in thousands
from Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, Worces-
ter and Hereford, the great hopgrowing
counties, while the east end of London,
whence emanate almost all the hop
plckers, furnished a contingent perhaps
twice as large as the growers and la
borers from the provinces
After being marshaled on Victoria
Embankment, the demonstrators with
banners flying and bands playing,
to the square, where English
men with grievance always have been
accustomed to assemble Speakers from
half a dozen platforms harangued the
multitude on the ruin of the industry
through the dumping of American hops
into England, and resolutions were
adopted by acclamation calling upon
the government not to delay in helping
to re establish the industry and placing
a duty on all imported hops.
