THE President declared that 1t was not his
i purpose to ''impeach the law; but his
speech, otherwise than Mr.. Carson inter-
preted it, would have been regarded by
many mischievous persons of political ambi-
ton who are constantly seeking to do this
very thing and who would rejoice in making
the President one Of their sort. During the
whole of last week on the bulletin board Of
a church in 14th street there stared at the
people as they passed and repassed these
words: "If we had more justice, we should
need less charity" That was epgrammatic,
but It was awfully foolish; just the sort OF
thing that would appeal to the awess dis
position of the mob the sort of thing that
would unsettle the foundations and make So
called public opinion take the place OF we'll
ordered law. RANDALL.

COUNCILMEN WORK
IN shirt Sleeves
Colonel Stover'S Motion for
Members to Wear Coats
Voted Down

Shirt sleeves were in fashion at the
meeting of City Council last night,
nearly every member removing his coat
on account of the sweltering heat in the
Council chamber. Council granted an
appropriation OF $4,000 to the Board OF
Public Education on account Of the APP
preparation for new schools, and an APP
preparation of S625 was granted to the
Board of Health on account of the
quarterly appropriation of that body.
Shortly after the session began,
Councilman Stover objected TO the fact
that the members had removed their
coats, holding that they were not prop
erly attired, and he made a motion,
which was properly seconded that the
councilmen don their coats The motion
was lost, however. by an almost unani-
nous vote for "shirt sleeves and COM
fort"
The city treasurer reported a bank
balance of S7l5,643.42 to the credit of
current expenses. The city treasurer's
receipts in collected taxes amounts to

sioners, stating that the board had given
consideration to the proposed ordinance
known as "an ordinance defining certain
nuisances," which, if passed, would com
pei the railway companies to provide a
seat for every passenger riding on their
cars.
The communication stated that the
Utility Board considered this ordinance
too drastic in its present form, but as
sured Council that it would take steps
to remedy the conditions complained Of.
