CITY MATTERS AGAIN.-It would seem that the pub.

the City Council although the present Board is not
responsible for law of which the writer of the follow

jIessrs. Editors-It would seem that lawmakers
should conform the convenience of tax payers as
nearly is consistent with the proper enforcement of
the laws. The present Federal Government has ex-
haused ingenuity itselfin concoctng regulations which
seem to have special aim but to harrass the tax
payers of the country in the mode of collection Are
State, parish and city authorities following its illus

no further thought. What, then, was my surprise to

compliance with the order that the receipt was to

THE New York Herald says the
second Sunday of free rum in New
York was an active one in police
circles. A greater number Of arrests
were made between nightfall on Sat
urday and daylight on Sunday than
were ever before made for q period of
similar length. 1t seems the expert
ment of two Sabbaths of free rum
convinced even the new Democratic
Excise Commissioners that the abne-
CATION of the Sunday clause of the
liquor law would not do, and hence
they announce that henceforth that
clause must be faithfully and rigidly
observed" This conclusion on the
part of the new Commissioners is one
of the highest compliments to the
Republican Legislature which enact

so on the sage in winter.

Editors Bee: If the Republicans of this
State expect to regain their their lost pow
er, they will have to effect an entire change
ip the course now beiLg pursued.
The party is now divided up into small
cliques, and seem to forget that there is
any necessity for mutual action.


If those persons who, from the positions
they occupy, or from acknowledged ability
are recognized in the party as leaders, dc
not bring about this change. new men will
have to be brought forward who can unite
the party and lead it to a sure and certain
victory. But perhaps the best course viii
be to give the OLD leaders one more trial
calling their attention. to the important
position in which they are placed, and al
the same time point out some of their own
short comings.


One may be little overbearing and
impractical, another too hasty, when the
greatest prudence and for bearance are
necessary, and third may have been un-
fortunate in having imprudent friends
who assume To themselves authority to
speak for their chief, who would not for a





moment approve of the sentiments they
enunciate. The fruit of these shortcom.
ings and unfortunate misunderstanding
has been to force upon the party in this
State lot OF officials, who are not only
strangers among us, but have no interest
or sympathy with our party here, but are
serving the interest of their friends in
other States, to whom they are indebted
for political preferment.


Now let the rank and file of the party
demand change, require some concession
from each, unite upon members of our
own party, who are we'll known among us,
party men, men who have an interest in
the people of our State, and if there are
different interests to serve in the party,
recognize each, and allow each share in
its benefits


By doing this few months would bring
about the desired change and we would be
enabled to 90 into the next campaign a
united and re-organized party.
