Our regular correspondents know just how we desire articles for the Journal to be prepared, while occasional do not. From such we desire only local news, and that in brief brevity is the soul of wit. Matters which can possibly interest only one or two persons, need no mention in a newspaper. We have lived in Columbus nearly twelve years, and have, dur ing all that time, heard the business men of Columbus, as a class, com mended by their customers for their fair dealing and cleverness. One mau told us of how oue of our old time grocers (a perfect stranger to him at the time) trusted him for a sack of flour when he hadn't a cent of money and nothing for his fam ily to eat, trusted him without any hesitation, too, seeming to take his measure. It is such a knowledge of human nature, combined with the practice of correct business princi ples that have made our business men, as a class, the real friends of their customers. The City Council of Columbus, at the earnest solicitation of its mayor at the time, J. P. Becker, passed an ordinance after the pas sage of the Sloeumb liquor law, and before it went into effect, conform ing to it, as much as could be under the then existing law. This was done, too, according to the advice of Columbus attorneys, and our city authorities have had no trouble in making the transit from one to the other. At Omaha nothing was done to prepare for tho new order of things, and now it looks as though the liquor dealers of that city are to have trouble, the Council as yet, not being able to pass an ordinance, and, under the decision of the Su preme Court, the traffic is prohibited if no ordinance is passed.
