City LtaRincpr Foslovln said thnt so far as ho know tlio mam uldlculty was thui the city was not ready to pave , the pradlng and curbing not yet beliiR done on the streets In question. After some discussion the report was ro- fotrcd back to the Judiciary committee with Instructions to report more fully nt tuo next mooting.

Graves , Pace and Smith thought so too , ana the motion to reconsider was llnally lost. A petition was piesontcd by Aldormnn Smith , bearing the signatures of all the owners on Second avenue uotween Property and Sixteenth streets and tuning that a sidewalk bo laid on liotb sides of the uvcnuo. It was referred to the committee on streets and nllevs. A number of petitions for refund or rovls Ion of taxes wore loferrod. Aldermnu Van Brunt stated that ho had seen tame complaints In Tin : Tin : on account of the ilarkncss nt the corner of Pearl street nnd Droadway , und he would like -to have the matter loforrcd to the committee on lights , In order that it might be docldca whether the demands of the property own ers in the vicinity should ho acceded to or not. It was referred. Alderman Pace stated that as the council had decidsd not to rent onices , he thought it a good idea to have plans drawn by an archi tect for improvements on the city building. Ho suia plan * had already been diawn by C. C. Bell , and they wcro submitted to the council for examination. The ilrst Iloor contained offices far the clerk , auditor , treasurer and engineer ginoer , with a vault for oacli one excepting the engineer , while on the .second Iloor was a council chamber 40x'J3 feet , with a railing separating the council from the audience. On this door were also ofllccs for the mayor and city attorney und a Jury room. The nimenslons of the "building ns proposed are GUxoS feet nnd two stories high , while the on is estimated at about * . > , OOU. The mat er was loft in the hands of the , special com mittee. About this tlmo there was a vigorous and proniedlnteil kick on the part of the property owners In the western part of the city , on account of the neglect with which they had boon treated. A larjro hole on Tbirtv- fourth street between Broadway nnd avenue A ivas the primary causa of the wail , and while they were about it they found fault with the sidewalk , which they claimed was 'inblo to cause the fracture ot the litnos and locks of those who had to walk on It. They also kicked bccnuso they bad no flre or police protection , and no water works. J. J. Crow , who was one of the chief comuloin ants , said ho would spend every dollar he had in suing the city unless ho nnd bis fel low * were granted immediate satisfaction.

[ Special Telo- Kram to THE Br.K.J Democrats in both the senate and house have held separate caucuses und In each discussed the saloon question. Tbo result Is ttiut all democratic legislators now support what Is known as the Schmidt olll. Senator Schmidt Is author of tbo bill and It Is practically the same bill that ho In troduced two years ago and is the ono that was made tbo basis of the democratic platform last fall. Tbo committee on suppression of intemperance In the senate will report the bill favorably some day this week and it Is ex pected that It will bo made a special order for Friday. It is quite evident that the bill will pass tbo senate. To pot it through the house will require the vote of Campbell , the people's party representative , whoso record is that of a prohibitionist , and five repub lican votes , or six republican votes uithout Campbell. It Is claimed by oomo antl-prohlbiliontsts that those will bo forthcoming , but no names are given. It is said a Joint republican caucus will bo hold on the subject and an effort made to bold all republicans to the caucus decision. There Is fear that this cannot be donn , sufllclent to cause uneasiness in prohi bition ranks. Following IB n synopsis of the Schmidt bill as modified by the democratic caucus : ' A special election may bo he'd on the question of granting or refusing license upon petition of one-llfth of the voters of any city or Incorporated town or of the portion of a county outside of cities and incorporated towns , no other questions being voted on at the same election. The license fee cannot bo less than $500 a year , payable quarterly In advance , and Is to bo granted py the district court upon proof of the good moral caaractor of the applicant. Of this , $125 in case it Is granted in n cltv or Incorporated town goes into the general fund of tbo county and tbo balanoo into the gen eral fund of the municipality. When granted not In an incorporated town or city it will go into the general fund of the county. All licenses are to expire on the last day of December. Selling to minors , intoxicated persons or habitual drunkards is punished by a line not exceeding tlOO or Im pugnment In the county jail not ex ceeding twenty days. Loss of license follows the second conviction. Any person soiling without license may bo pun ished by a Hue of not less than 100 nor more than $500 , and by ItnprUoment In the county jail not less than thirty days nor more than 150 das. . The bond is fixed at $2,000. Per mits to tell for medical , mechanical and chemical purposes will bo granted to regis tered pharmacists without fee and a penalty for violation Is made a line of not less than (10 uor more than ? 1UO or by Imprisonment In the county Jail not longer than thirty days.

KUl Can In- lined , lint It Slioiilil Ho Con tra stril lth ( ioixl. It socins to us that in good fiction ovi must appear as a foil for good ; that it must bo set over against righteousness so as to make black blaclf indeed and white purely white , says a writer in the. Cliiiutuuqujin. ' The story teller need have no express moral hobby to rldo post haste ; ills tale will bo all the better if told with the pure love of story tolling ; but wo may lie quite sure that his taste Is unsound if ho chooses a salacious story to tell and gives it the unction of personal re hearsal. Here , indeed , is whore wo would draw the lino. Evil can bo iibed by the artist with clean hands and to wholesome elTect by contrasting it with a healthy , solid projection of good. The chief trouble with current realism is that it does not do this , but chooses to set hopeless evil and nerveless commonplace side by side without any triumphant moral heroism to dominate or neutralize it. The ethics of fiction shines in the character , the moral nature of the story , more than in the ostensible or oven tno actual , moral purpose of the author. It is the genorai olToct that the work is likely to produce when read by tlio aggregate of readers which must'bo a largo clement of the test. Wlmt u lluliy I > 1 < 1 In an Hour.
