If that nnti-trentiuK Inw should bo
passed nnd the tompornnoo people of
the etato undertake to BOO that it is en
forced it should mean more to the
causa of temperance than anything that
has been attempted in recent years. It
is the follow who treats and gets
treated , usually , who makes the drunk *
ard and the deadbeat , and by the
honest saloon keeper ho is sincerely
dreaded , for when ho wastes his sub
stance he becomes a hanger-on and n
holdup for whatever drinks ho may di
vert in his direction in England ho
would bo called a "tapster. " In an
endeavor to show that they are "good
fellows , " men young and old , who
have not a proper conception of the
term will stand before the bar and
drink or treat their friends to drinks
long after they have ceased to have n
thirst. Their "good fellowship"
therefore results in n drunk , a splitting
headache the next morning , nnd a
frayed moral reputation for years. It
is usually tbo young fellow just begin *
ning a patronage of the saloons who
thinks it requisite to go the limit to bo n
"good fellow" and the chances nro that
he has ignorant companionship ready
to drain the dregs of a debauch with
him. The solitary drinker is very apt
to take and pay for what ho wants and
quit long before ho reaches the limit
and he hates to meet the man who
wants to "set'em up" or have a treat
extended to him , as thereby a door ia
opened to a drunk that ho may not care
to refuse to enter. If , therefore , the
treating habit is cut out it will be beno-
.flclal to the cause of temperance and the
saloon men will lose little or nothing
by it.
That lighting Question.
The Norfolk city council has again
met and adjourned without a word be
ing said on the lighting proposition.
No vote was attempted , and the
question slid over without causing a
ripple on the smooth surface of the
proceedings. The people do not know
the position of the councilmen on the
question , except so far as hearsay or
private utterances go. There is nothing
on the record to indicate a choice. The
question has been referred and com
mitted nnd whispered about but is still
open , and it is now proposed to refer it
to the people. The council may not bo
oxaotly cowardly afraid to tackle a
pertinent proposition , but for some
reason they desire to shift n burden on
the people that they will not discuss or
vote upon.
Instead of acting as representatives of
the people they evade the responsibility
nnd wish the people themselves to do
the work for which they are elected and
paid. The electric light company made
the council a proposition something like
a year ago. Then there were prospects
of the city having a gas plant installed
nnd the people were content to wait
until the new company had made an
offer , that the council might bo enabled
to choose between them , but the
council has continued the arduous task
of doing nothing with the question.
The two propositions arc fairly under
stood by the people and it is their sense
that either should bo acceptable so , that
the city might be bettor lighted. It
ms boon figured that under either
iroposltlou the town might bo better
ightod for the same money now being
paid ; that the entire town might bono *
It through no increase over what is
now being spent to light the business
portion of Main street. As a represen
tative of the people the council has
failed. It does not require much per-
ceptioti for any one to realize that what
the people of Norfolk want is moro
light at a reasonable cost. During the
entire winter they have boon groping
in darkness when there should have
been light , merely because the members
of the council have chdsou to shirk a
duty. There may be no way of forcing
them to notion but there is no way to
prevent the people from speaking their
minds on the subject and if they say
what they think the council will soon
understand that the action of the mu
nicipal body has been far from satisfac
tory. It is impossible for the council
to tie on the question. The mayor has
a deciding vote and it must bo decided
in favor of ono proposition or the other
if presented. It is not just that it
should not have been brought up
months ago.
Now they are waiting for the matter
to bo submitted to the people under the
initiative and referendum law. There
is a question whether or not it can bo
legally nnd properly submitted in this
manner. Then it is proposed that so
many points shall be submitted that it
is extiemoly improbable that a decision
shall bo reached after the vote is taken.
There is not likely to bo n sufficient
majority for either proposition , nnd it
will again bo up to the council after
many twistings and windings through
legal tangles on which nouo appears to
bo at present informed. The expense
of the election will bo none the less
and there may bo no result.
The council is or should bo thoroughly
informed on the two propositions be
fore it , therefore why not register a vote
without further ado ?
Meanwhile the people will bo out of
patience , the city out the expense of
election and the people out of light.
The council should either come out
in the open by acting or acknowledge
their mcompotoncy by banding in their
resignations
A FOREIGN PRODUCT. "
America Hu Not Yet Developed the
"I'crfect Spendthrift. "
Uneconomical and extravagant ns we
nro , wo have not yet developed the
"perfect spendthrift" ns he is to bo
found on the other side of the Atlantic.
It seems at times as if ho must bo n
product of an older , n moro "effete"
civilization. The mnn , either young or
old , who runs through n large fortune
quickly Is n rarity with us. High ns our
standard of living nnd of the ordinary
expense of living Is , our standard of
what might bo called profligate extrav
agance Is by no means so high. Of
course pretty large sums nrc wasted In
various forms of dissipation here as
elsewhere. But that Is not the point
To take the single Item of gambling ,
how often do we hear of a man's being
ruined by It here ? No doubt we hear
stories of tremendous sums lost and
won , but such sums do not seem either
"to make or to break" anybody. For
men whose Incomes arc reckoned by
the hundreds of thousands or millions
to play hundred dollar poker is no
t mnt roplflosSTinsa. lint linxv nfton iln
wo sec young men of the small salaried
sort punting ? 1,000 or ? 2,000 at a time
nt baccarat , ns you can any day in
France ? We have not the Instinct to
save nnd scrape for eleven months In
the year nnd then shell out nil our
savings In a fortnight.
I once met In France n young mnn of
old provincial family , Legitimist to the
backbone , proud and very poor. He
wns about twenty-one , modest , thor
oughly "correct , " ns good , Innocent n
young fellow ns one would care to
meet , the sort of young man who seems
to have been overlooked and left out in
the cold by French fk'tion , though by
no means a great rarity In French real
life. I happened to ask him one day If
he ever played cards. Ho said no , ho
did not care for that sort of thing , nnd
besides his means would not permit it.
"I never go into n gambling saloon , "
said he , "or into the cardroom of a
club. Sometimes I may join In n little
gnmo of poker among friends just to
pass the time , but only a very smnl !
game , never moro than n louts limit'
A louls limit ! I wonder what clubman
( out of the millionaire class ) in Nc\v
York , Boston , Philadelphia or any o :
our Inrgcr eastern cities would cnl
four dollar poker a "very small" game

A RESOURCEFUL LAWYER.

A Philadelphia lawyer tells the story
that a picture of Fanny Davenport
once won a case for him. His client
was suing the Pennsylvania Railroad
company , of which Wayne MacVengh
was counsel , for ? 7)00 ! damages for
the death of her husband. "Just'a few
days before the case was to have como
up she happened Into my office and an
nounced that she had married again.
'Good Lord , madam , ' I gasped , 'why
couldn't you have waited until your
case came up ? It's next to impossible
for mo to get damages for you now. '
She said she didn't care very much ,
and went out , seeming very happy.
Well , it just happened that I had a
photograph of Fanny Davenport on my
desk , and when the next day Wnyno
MacVeagh happened Into my office to
discuss quite another matter he picked
up the photo nnd admired it. 'Who's
your friend ? ' he asked. I had a sudden
inspiration , nnd I said : 'Why , that's
the Indy who Is suing your company
'or ' $7,500. ' 'The deuce you sny , ' said
ie. 'Handsome woman , Isn't she ? ' 'Sho
s , indeed , ' I replied. 'H'm ! ' ho ex
claimed , looking at the picture closely.
A deuced handsome woman , I should
ny. A deuced handsome woman. '
There was a slight pause. 'Whnt'll you
ako to settle this case ? ' ho asked. I
bought of my client' ? second mar
riage , and I fixed the figure nt $5,000.
The deal was consummated and the
case never came to court"
Her FnUiomlean Eye * .
It was the hermit Thoreau , whoso
mistress was wood and stream , who
wrote : "The lover sees in the glance ol
his beloved the same beauty that In the
sunset paints the western skies. It IB
the same diamond hero lurking under
n human eyelid 'and there under the
closing eyelids of the day. Here , in
small compass. Is the ancient aud nat
ural beauty of evening and morning.
What loving astronomer has ever fath
omed the ethereal depths of the eye ? "
