It was at follows : To the President of the Lincoln Branch of the Irish National Leuguo of America. Dour Sir : I am reminded tlmt I am expected to deliver an whitest ! before the meeting of the League to-morrow on the Riihjcct of home rule In Ireliind. My attention for the Inst week lias been HO engiossed with thu subject of homo rule for Anit'i-io.i , and partleulurly for Lincoln , thnt I have hud little or no time to dcvoto to the foreign subject.

Tlio question with us is , who Is the bend of , this municipal household. I aui KottltiK rc'.idy to go to jnil in order to give the supreme court of the United States a chance to decide this question. Should it turn out that the iimyor und city council cannot lie permitted to investigate chuiges piefoned ugainst a city official when the charter under which they are acting , muKes it their duty so to do without rendeifng themselves liable for contempt of couit , then it is high time that we know the reason why , and if they huvo not , why not ) Hincoit'ly icgrotting my In. ability to attend on the morrow , and firmly ti listing that the day is uot fur distant when ull peoples will shiire the blessings of homo rule , and assuring jou of my eaincst sym pathy for the cause.

It is expected that fully one hundred delegates will bo In attendance. Yesterday a workman in the newHuir block was ovcicome with gas from binning charcoal and when found , resphatlon , to all outward appealanecs , had ceased. Dr. King was called , and by vigorous work the man wasrcstoicd to consciousness , but ho will feel the effects for a number of days. A half docn cases of minor importance wcro in the police court iostciday. One of them , a woman of the town named Hello Livingston , for diunkcnnoss and disorderly conduct , was sent to jiill for twenty iliy s. There remains jet about two blocks on which to lay thu blocks in the pavlngthe con- cieto belngcoiiipletedbefore the cold weather came. Yesterday the dela\ed cedar posts arrived and the blocks will be in place the present week. The political piohlbitionlsts still hold Sun day meetings in which abuse Hews fi eel v , even pastors of chinches in the city , who do not belio\o in their methods , coming in for generous attention when the speakers become p.utlculaily Intlamcd and abusive. Dr. Marino , the now pastor of the St. Paul's Methodist chin eh. seems to be the p.utieular target of the Sunday | iollticians at pi esent , and their decicased votn on election day shows how their mode of waifaie is apple- ciated by leasonablo people. IX .TAIIj. Lincoln'M Mayor and City Council Itclitml tlio Hiirs. Ma\or S.iwior , of Lincoln , together with the eleven counclluicn convicted of contempt in tlio United States district couit last week , nirived in the city jcstoidaj morning. The whole party wcioin the best of humor , and weie but little disposed to look upon the seri ous side of the cause. To them the Jail hud no unpleasant connections , and they seemed to look upon the incarcera tion as u piece of martjrdom that would have its silver lining and blight side In the sweet bjo and bt\y. At- tiied in their Sunday-go-to-mccting clothes and glossy high huts , the great combination tooted It from the Huilington depot to he ofllco of Marshal Hlei bower , where they'de li voted themselves over to his lender mercies. Their attorney , Hon. G. M. Lainbci ton , was on hand to icccivo the delegation , whom he advised 4iot to be in a bin ly U > seek their con- incmcnt , as their bonds did not xpiie until li ) o'clock midnight. The : iiuletod municipal powers heeded the advice given them , and made a bieak for the outside to icgalo themselves with the pure-ami whole some air nf Omaha and its elceteas. Evoiy nan of tlio twelve took advantage of their few remaining hours of fieedom and cnjo.ml themselves in vaiious wnjs. In the meantime Marshal Hicrbower busied nniself pioparatory to tinning over the twelve men to Jailer Miller. The latter w.is ippiaisod by telephone of the intended visit of the twelve , and was requested to make It us comfoi table for them as the lilies and icgulations of the jail would penult. Hctween 3 and 3 o'clock Muor Saw.or . and the eleven councilnien "iad a consultation at the Milhml , and it was : heio and then decided that Mr. Lambcrtson should leave for Washington at once , lay the matter bofoio the United States supicmo couitnnd pioouio a hiibens coipus. Then the whole paily filed out , joined the martial and man lied to the jail , each man carrying in his hands well filled satchels of clean linen and other changes of wear- lug nppnrol. They had come prepaied , evidently , with the expectation of a long slope , and an apparent .knowledge ol the slowness witli which a great body like the supiemo court of the United States moves. Duiiug tno intct im Jailer Miller had not been idle , and when the distinguished paity ariived ho hud things about the lesidenco pait of the Jail pretty well "rid up" and received his guests with his wonted aftability. No dismal cells gicctcd them ; the 01 cak ing on their hinges of the 10- puKlvo grated doors did not ploico their c.u , nor did the click of thu lock jar on tholrnerves , if they hud gone to a hotel they could lm\c not been tioatcd with a bet tor reception , and the whole party was oseoitod to the second stoiy of the living upaitmonls of the Jail. Two huge looms , beautifully and coinioitably fuimshed , weie assigned them , and they at oiico set about making themselves acquainted with their now home. . The looms aio nicely hunted , and are furnished with u viqw to comfoi t. Last night a In : repoi ter c.illed upon the cciuncllmen ami luunii them in the midst of merry-milking. Jailer Miller and a deputy .sheiilT or two were with thorn , and wliilo a great deal of liilaut\ prevailed it was of that inotlonsivo kind and in no waj eontraiy to tlio set and established rules of the Jail. Minor tiuwvori onteiited himself perusmgtlio contents of thn Hir : , and two or thieo other of the gentlemen pored over the picture ture- , and coiitiibutlons of inagn/mos. How ever , the majority whiled away their houis of confinement pla.v ing cards , chcekcis and other innocent and ugrcoab'o ' pastimes. Ltory telling and the Clacking of jokes en- tcicd into the onteitaiiiment , and a happier nnd inoio contented lot it would bo hind to find The pilsoneis are not confined to in ison fare , but aie permitted to ordoi and have cooked for them anything that maj host suit their appetites. However , they arc compelled to abide b.\ the inlcs of the Juil in icfurciice tn the houis of going to lied. Woven spring rets , good mattresses , sheets and comfoi teis or- deted for their special benefit is what they sleep ii | > on. and those are distributed in dilT- oiont waids on the second floor.

This is thu highest charge that has been made for the trnnspoitation of this nec essary article in many , \ oair. , am ) will have an appreciable effect upon thopik-o of coal. At picbcnt , antluacito coal , which ! > theonly coal that is brought hcru Jti oiu Chicago , is selling for Ml.M per ton , which Is a dollar higher than it was a iear ago. This rni o in the prieo is attributed to the freight rate , as ulso to u sc'arctty ' of the fuel , which , It is statid by local coal dealers exists. There aio fifteen of thcso in the citywho tell gener ally about the bamo tale , and these of them who inuko it siioulalty of soft coals , claim that there is not now In this city enough of that grade to last one week. The coal do- p.u tment of the I'nlon Pacific which supplies the greatest amount of soft coal is now three weeks behind in Iu orders , and Is not In n condition to state when it" supply will bonblo to satisfy the demand.

" 1 sec , " said a snloonkecM | > r .Vesterday , to a HFK leixirter , "that one mnn has already been fined IIIX ) for selling liquor on election day. He wn n drug clerk , however , nnd of course hud no right to sell It as a buveiagc nt any time. Hut , if hu was lined for selling on election day , how can the saloonkeepers , whose cn es me jot to be heard , for selling drinks on the same day , hope to escape .simi lar punishment ! And 3 et , I know Unit some of thcso men , after the ma.v or hud issued his order to the chief of police to enforce the law with regard to selling liquors on tlmtday , would not have violated It , h.id it not been for the icsolution of the council , which suggested that thei payne no attention to the older. Of course , that resolution cioos not destroy the offense committed. The saloon men knew they wore violating the law und that law should have governed them in their act. Hut , It they should plead by way of extenuation that they ought to be absolved from the penalty of bicnklng the law when the city council openly encouraged the same , does it not occur to you Unit the gravity of the offense should bo lessened. Don't you think the couiicllmcn who voted to adopt that resolution should bo chniged as accessories und punished I. The council wus actuated by a motive of revenge upon the mu\or , but that icvenge must now be atoned by innocent men who will probnbly be required to pay n fine of 1100. Will any of those couucllinen help to pay these fines ! Not one. 1 lost $100 bv not selling on election day and If my better judgement hud not told inn that the council WIIH setting the law , in defiance , I too , per haps , would bo charged with thu offense of violating it , because personal interests strongly tempted ine to sell as on other days. " CITV ATTOUXKY'H HKCISIOX. Mr. Webster' * Opinion on the License Quest Ion. City Attorney John L. Webster hns fur nished Ma\or Hroatch with the following de cision regarding the license question : Hov. W. J. HKOVTCII , Miij or , Omnhu. Dear Sir : Ueplying to .vour favor Inquiring in > opinion as to thu light of the city tieas- urcr to icccive n fractional pint of the * t,000 in payment of tlio annual license for the sale of liquor and as to the right of persons to engage - gage in the selling of liquors without first having paid the full amount of the license foci and having procured u license tliurcfor , I have the honor to lepoit , that section 2 of the compiled statutes of Nelnuskuol 1NW , page ll. , makes It a criminal ofteuce for any person to sell or give nwuv mult , spii ituous or vinous liquors or im.v intoxii ut- ing dunks without hiivlng Hist complied with life provisions of that net and having obtained n liccnso as in that act set foith. Under tne law no license can be obtained untll4.bc full amount of the license fee shall huvo been paid , and which in cities ot over ten thousand population can not be loss than M,000. No person is thercfoio ( entitled to a license until the annual foes ahull huvo been paid In full. Until such sum is paid und license issued it is a criminal otTense to en gage in the snle of Illinois. My conclusions are , therefore , first , that no person can lawfully engage in the selling of liquor until ho has first obtained a license therefor ; second , thcio is no authority to issue the license lequired until thctlOIX ) shall flist have been paid as u license fee ; thhd , ani oidinuncu of the city of Ouinha which permits or provides that jiersons may engage hi the selllngof liquor without having first paid the license fee und having obtained thu license provided by law , is in violation of the .state law and be.umd the authmlti vested in the city \ouneil and thoie- foio such ordinance is illegal ; fourth , all poisons who have paid into the city treasmy n portion of the sum of money provided for its a license fee and havotheieupon proceeded to engage in the business of selling liquor without having paid the full amount of the license fee and without having obtained the litensu by law required , mo guilty of u viola tion of the state law und uro subject to its penalties. JOHN' L. Whi.-.rnu , City Attorney. Two More luo Houses. The icemen in this city have not yet com menced to cut their supply lor next summer , the icason being that thcchanncl of the river is still not fio/un.

I , [ tf II i > < ' , ] WE EXPECTED Our big special sale of overcoats would cause a commotion , but we must confess we neyer an ticipatedisuch a rush as we had all last week , and especially Saturday. Our 35 salesmen were busy from morning till late at night , to wait on the throngs of customers that crowded our store , and we regret that we were not better prepared , as even that large torce of sales men was not sufficient to attend , to all. and a good many had to go away. Saturday's business made big holes in our overcoat piles , but-we are not through yet. Over one hundred cases of suits and overcoats from our great New York purchase , are still on the way and coming in daily , and we propose to get rid of them as fast as they come in. Last week we have convinced thousands of customers that they never bought overcoats so cheap as we offered them. This week we will show how low good suits can be sold. Suits that were made by one of the best houses in the country. This is the greatest opportunity men of moderate means ever had to procure good first class garments at about one half the real value , we cannot describe them all , but we mention a few of thalarger lots and which are especially big bargains : " 300 good heavy Cassimere Suits , warranted strictly all wool , lined with good heavy sorgo. No all wool suit of suoh M"7C quality and such.make was over offered for less than $7 to 8. Our slaughter price is $4.75. ftA Cft This is the price we have placed on about 200 fine black , warranted real worsted , Corkscrew Suits , some lined with vOiUv s'lk ' serge , some with good double warp Italian , well gotten up. This will make a good dress suit for men of mdd- ernte means , and will give good satisfaction. It is in every respect as good a suit as is sold by other houses for $10 to $12. Our slaughter price is $6.50. Q 7R ' 11S * ° couanis about 250 plain , double and twist , and silk mixed cassimeres , some flue cheviots , elegantly made Oui I W and trimmed , every one worth $15.00 , and that is the price which other dealers would ask for them. Our slaughter price is $9.75. > Rfl eai'ty ° ° nne tailor made Suits , the choicest of the great purchase ; cassimeres , beautiful fancy worsteds and i JU diagonals. The material is the product of some of the best mills in the country , and some imported. These suits were manufactured for the finest city trade , and have been made up to sell at retail for from $18 to $25. Out slaughter price is $13.50. Several large lots of Pea Jackets and Vests , chinchillas , plush and astrachan , lined with fine cassimoro and Italian goods , which are usually sold for $10 , $12 and § 18. Our slaughter price is J4.25 , $4.75 , tD.OO and $1175. A few extra fine im ported astrachans with elegant satin lining , and fully worth 28 to i30 , we offer at $16.90. 1 We wish to call the attention of ladies to a small but especially attractive assortment of fine children's overcoats , which fell into our hands with this great purchase. These are made of the ! best of material in Cassimere , Chinchilla and Astrachan , elegantly trimmed with fur and plush , and of exquisite designs. These garments were manufactured for the cream of city trade , and in I every respect first class. There are only a few small lots of them , and as the sizes are somewhat broken we have marked them at about one third their real value , We are daily in receiptof numerous mail orders from out of town parties , and wish to say that we cheerfully send goods by express C.
