To the Editor of the BKK : Please allow mo a few lines in your valuable paper in jus tice to the public. I have time anil again warned the public about weighing on the so-called city scales that have no authority and pay no license to the city , and have not for the past live or fa years. For proof , I refer the public to the city clerk's books. Thcro is a sys tem of short weights that protects the boiler and not the buyer , by weighing on scales not authorised by the city. I am powerless to protect the confjiimor , as I get no protection from the council. When I was elected to the olHee of city welghmtifctor , I made a proposition to the council , that it they would give mo an ordinance that would protect the public , I would nut a deputy in the upper and 0110 in tno lower part of the city , if npccfrsarv , to accommodate the public weighing. The council failed to give mo this authority therobv the city receiving no .revenue from" private ' * * * . * / ' t * ' ' . * , and the public ix system of short woitf his as my books will show , by parlies Who have weighed on private scales , and re-wolghcd on city scales , It was only yesterday 1 discovered a mistake of o90 jKHinds on ono load to a leading firm , and in many ether in stances , discrepances too palpable to beef of daily occurrence that prove conclu sively a system of short weights over which the city weighmaster has no con trol by testing private scales or other wise.

Mr. Lawson , ono of the board of edu cation , scemq to dilTcr somewhat in opinion from other members of the board. He does not favor corporal pun ishment in the schools under any cir cumstances. He believes that the teach ers should have authority to send a re fractory punil home. Suspension from school privileges should lake the plaeo of brute force. He docs not , therefore , endorse the use of the three foot slick. Ho says ho has heard so many com plaints about children being punished too severely that ho is getting tired of it. lie is ready for a reform in this re spect.

Gilmore , a painter living on Avenue E , was arrested and brought into the police station on a charge of disturbing the peace , especially that of liis own household. Mrs. Gilmore thought ho was either drunk or crazy. Ho acted as if ho was a little of both. His wife had the insane commissioners examine him and they decided that ho was not cra.y , at least not enough to warrant his being sent to an asylum. The probability is that bad whisky was the chief cause of his wild and lunatic performances. Death of Mrs. J. Johnson.
