Wmr What do People Pay City vm Reform is necessary in the conduct of the police department of-our city. The way affairs are noW managed a number of chronic violaters of the city ordinances are permitted to go about the streets drunk, cursing and insulting women, fighting, etc., without arrest. Or, it they are arrested, they ara put in jail for about twentytour hours and then released, as they are unable to pay their fines, and the city authorities think it a piece of extravagence to pay 50 cents per day board for prisoners in the county jail. Hence these men are turned loose to go about the public. streets and continue their nefarious conduct. The people of Bloomington pay a city tax. For what? Simply to pay the salaries of the city officers and occasionally repair a street crossing, or haul off a dead hog? The school tax is a separate one, and has noth ing to-do with the amount levied for the general fund, We repeat: What is the general fund for? Is not the preservation of peace and the property and lives of our citizens of no importance? Shall a person have full permission to do as he pleases, in open violation of the law, simply because it costs, the city something to punish him? We believe that there are at least a dozen persons whom the citizens of lUoomihgtou would be glad to see locked up in jail for life, and would be willingly taxed to pay the cost. The stone-pile was considered a good thing, but it

soon was dispen sed wi th. VI ol a ters

of the city ordinances, unable to pay their-fines, were kept at work cracking stone for a day or two and then

released on the grounds that it did'nt

Ttie Republican City Elect ion. The election for City officers of Bloomington was held on last Tuesday. There was no opposition to the Republican ticket, except for Councilman of the Third Ward, where Howe Ryors, Democrat, gav j Andy Hoover, Republican, a lively tussle, but was beaten by 10 votes. The Republicans workers were out in force in this Ward, and worked as hard as if it had; been a presidential election. The largest vote ever polled in the Ward was cast, and right here we would suggest to the Assessor that the poll books of this Ward will furnish him with the names of a number of persons to put down for poll tax whom he will not find in his regular rounds. Mr. Ryors receiyed many Republican votes, and if the Democratic vote had been cast solid for him he would have been elected. In the other Wards, there being no opposition, but little interest was

! manifested in tue election, and a very

light vote was polled. The following is the vote as cast in the various Wards:

"Old Prob'" Bloominirilou

jperiouce. Prot. Tice'b audience on Fiid&y night oi last week cannot lie called a

fair one, consequently at no time did

the speaker warm up to his su bject. The Prof, is a had and hearty old gentlemen, but his remarks were not quite clear to his hearers. There were only about 30 people present, and the showem of applause were yery mild. The Professor was billed for two nights, but the "indications" were rather damp for a belter crowd on the following night. The committee considered the lecture a fold affair and endeavored to get the Professor to cancel his engagement for the second night, but he was quite stormy over the matter, and affairs looked very cloudy. But as the committee considered the lecturer a lung dry spell they paid the Professor $25 for the first night and resolved by thunder that they would pay him no more. Mr, Tice said the klprobabTlilies" were that they would pay lor the second night, and that he would not be treated so cool, hence he employed the law firm of Friedley, Pear

son & Friedley to make it hot for the committee. He tendered his services for the second night, which were refused, and then left on the train for Shoals. Peace and quiet now rains (reigns) supreme, and the controversj may end in wind. At all events, we hope that all may yet be siuukt'iic.

The missives were on tinted paper, and written nicely. They each contained these words: "All is discovered fly!" Nine of the preachers fled to St Louis, and three went west.

.. , ... -quite a contrast, I imagine, to the weather j-ou are having in Hoosierdom. On April 3rd. in company with M, A. H anna and two other friends I took a stroll to see Gen. McPherson's monument, which is three miles east of this city. After arriving outside of the city limits, you might imagine you were in a dense forest, from the number of oak and pine trees you see. And one curious fact about them is, when the pine trees are cut down oak trees take their place, and when the oaks

j are cut down their places are sup

plied with pines; this fact is said to

be equally true all over this section of country. After arriying at the monument we found it to bo a cannon set in a square stone, on the south side of which is cut the name "McPherson." The mouth ot the can r on i; plugged with a large piece of timber, on the top of which rests a large ball. The monument is in

closed by a plain iron railing, made

of musket bail-els which were used during the war. The monument and

enclosure weie considerably abused,

there being no one whose duty it is

to iook auer it. v nm there we

noticed quite a number of visitors

who came to pay respect to the mem

ory of the brave General. One lady

found a large shell, in her search for

wild flowers, and laid it on the base

of the monument. After finding some articles by which to remember our visit, we made a boquet of wild

flowers which we placed on the monument and then returned to the

city, feeling well payed for our visit A Bloo$:itgt6niak. Atlanta, Ga., April 20, 1881.

mail bags. He offered to suppty the government with the fasteners at eight cents each, or permit the government to use them at a royalty of three cents each. Fay man's proposition was not accepted. This pat

ent afterwards got into tho hands of General George A. Sheridan, a Louisiana Republican politician and stump speaker, and with him the Postoffice Department made a contract for the Fay man fasteners at nineteen cents each or at a royalty of eight, cents each, more than double what the inventor himself asked the government. This steal is estimated at $101,000.
