TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 3, 1885.
The council did
much last night.

Ohio will give itself no important airs
hereafter. It is no longer an October
state.
George W. Childs also denies that
Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartons desires a di-
vorce from her brute of a husband.
The heart of the whole country drew
very near to the earth which closed over
the mortal remains of General McClellan
yesterday.
It now transpires that ex-Sectreary Coon
is the unknown who purchased a seat in
the New York Stock Exchange at the al-
most fabulous price of $84,000.
English lords, to the number of 509,
languish on a paltry average annual in
come of $120,000. Cornish miners grow
fat and obstreperous on less than $300.
“Outside of his well-known faults,
Blaine is * * * about the best of the
Republicans.” Yes, but he is on the
“outside” of all his faults, since they all
proceed from his thoroughly corrupted
heart.
The Gazette says: ‘ ‘The Dallas papers
advertise Fort Worth not because they
want tOj but because they can’t help
themseves.” More probably because they
are paid, just as are other advertising
mediums.
The Stalwarts knifed Blaine, and
the blade is just as keen now. They are
known to have no love for Davenport.
But the news boy can tell more about this
to-morrow than Dana and Bennett fogeth
er are able to prognosticate at this hour
A Richmond, (Va.), Republican who
had wagered $100 on the success of the
Wise ticket took fright and went
out and hedged by betting the same sum
on Fitzhugh Lee. He has a dead thing
on losing nothing, provided both stake-
holders are honest.
An international copy-right law is de

F. T. L’ESTRANGE, Auditor.
It is too much the custom of the press | °ITT C0DN0IL
to inveigh indiscriminately against pub-
lic officials. Criticism is just when it is
fair, but when it goes beyond this, it is I At!
the worst kind of license. This dispo- ,T1+>1“
sition to find fault does not always evi-
dence a desire to unworthily pander to
that vulgar and debased appetite which
finds its choicest repast in feeding on
reputation. It is just as often the off-
spring of a morbid taste for carping and
fault-finding. While a public officer
should be held to a stricter reckoning on
account of his increased responsibilities
and his larger power for evil, or for good,
it is believed that the measure of criti-
cism which should apply to the official and
the private citizen is one and the same.
Acting upon that principle, Evening Tri
bune in discussing municipal matters, has
been slow to criticise and swift to ap-
plaud or to praise.
There was distinctly evident in the
council meeting of last night a better
state of feeling than has existed on a few
occasions hitherto, and what was
equally evident, an increased ca-
pacity for the intelligent and
expeditious dispatch of business.
There was not a committeeman called on
for a report or an expression of opinion
who was not ready to speak to the sub-
ject in hand. Chairmen Sherwood,
Large, Lee and Weis, for their several
committees evinced a thorough compre-
hension of the subjects committed to
them, and Acting Chairman Goldthwaite,
of the finance committee, demonstrated
himself easily master of the difficult and
delicate subject of municipal finance.
Creditors of the city are greatly indebted
to him for the successful inauguration of
the “pay-as-you go” policy. There were
some important matters deferred for fu-
ture consideration, upon which the coun-
cil desired additional information.
There was but one nomination made
to the council, and it failed of confirma-
tion, but there was no exhibition of
spleen over the result, on the part of
either mayor or council, and in this new
evidence of cordiality between the two
branches, Evening Tribune finds addi-
tional reason to congratulate both.
A N ORDINANCE TO REGULATE THE
xAerection of Telegraph, Telephone or Electric
Light poles:
Be it ordained by the City Council of the city of
Galveston.
Section 1. Any Telegraph, Telephone or Elec-
tric Light Company duly incorporated, accord-
ing to law> doing business or desiring to do busi-
ness in the city of Galveston, is hereby authorized
to set its poles, pins, abutments, wires and other
fixtures, along and across any of the streets and
alleys of the city, subject to the regulations here-
inafter provided.
Section 2. Whenever, in the judgment of the
City Engineer and the Committee on Streets and
Alleys, the use of any alley for such purpose is
practicable, the poles of such company shall be
placed upon and along said alley, instead of upon
and along the streets next adjoining and parallel
thereto. Where the poles are set in any al'ey,
they shall be located as near the side lines of the
alley as practicable, and in such manner as not to
incommode the public or the adjoining proprietors
or residents.
Section 3. The poles used as herein provided
shall be of sound timber, not less than fiye inches
in diameter at the upper end, reasonably straight,
and of uniform size. All poles within the fire
limits shall be thoroughly painted, with two coats
of lead and oil paint, of such colors as may be
directed by the Committee on Sti eets and Alleys,
and be supplied with iron steps commencing
twelve feet from the surface of t he ground and
reaching to the arms supporting the wires. Said
wires shall be run at a height of not less than
twenty-five feet above the grade of the street.
Whenever the poles are erected on a street, they
shall be placed, in all cases when practicable, on
the outer edge of the sidewalk, just inside the
curbstone, and on the line dividing the lots, one
from the other, and in no case to be so placed as
to obstruct the drainage of the streets or to inter-
fere with or damage in any way the curbstones
or other public or private property on the line of
the street or alley where such poles shall be
erected.
Section 4. Before any Telegraph, Telephone, or
Electric Light company shall erect any poles upon
any street or alley, they shall submit for approval
to the Committee on Streets and Alleys,the route of
their proposed line or lines, stating the name of the
street or streets tobe occupied, or,if an alley the num-
ber of the block, and as far as practicable the loca-
tion of each pqle. All work of excavating, refilling
and restoring the pavement, shall be done under the
supervision of the city engineer and to his entire sat-
isfaction, and in all cases the pavement shall be re-
stored as speedly as possible and to the same condi-
tion it was before.
Section 5. The right is hereby reserved to the
city council or committee on streets and alleys, at
any time, to direct any alteration in the location of
poles, and also in the height at which the wires shall
run, but before such alteration is made, at least five
days notice, in writing, shall be given to the----!
A N ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR THE

Galveston:
Section 1. That tie fire department shall consist
of three steam fire enjine companies, one hook and
ladder company, two hose companies, one supply
hose cart and hose company combined, and such
other companies as may, from tune to time, be au-
thorized and directed by the city council. Said
companies shall be located by the committee on fire
department, subject, however, to the control of the
city council.
Section 2. The officers of the fire department shall
consist of a chief engineer, with a salary of sixteen
hundred dollars per annum, and an assistant engi-

In Life’s Decline
Infirmities beset us to which our youth
and maturity were strangers. Weakness
of the loins, rheumatic ailments, dyspep
sia, loss of appetite and unquiet sleep are
among these. As a means of counteract-
ing the infirmities of age, Hostetter’s
Stomach Bitters is uurivalled. It quick-
ens and enriches the sluggish and im- I ton, or any president, manager, superintendent
poverished circulation, begets a hearty | n^thepmvisioMof1 thffi,
appetite and youthful relish for the food
such company, or any citizen interested, to be heard
therein. But when any such alteration shall be or-
dered, the said company shall, within five days
thereafter, commence such alterations and complete
the same as soon as practicable thereafter, and, upon
failure to do so. it shall be deemed guilty of a mis-
demeanor and punished as hereinafter provided.
Section 6. Every telegraph, telephone, or electric
light company, doing business in this city, shall
keep on deposit with the city treasurer the
sum of fifty dollars, subject to the order
of the city engineer, to be used by him
restoring any sidewalk, gutter, street or alley
pavement displaced orinjured in the erection, altera-
tion or removal of any pole of such company, when
said company refuses or fails to make such restora-
tion to the satisfaction of the committee on streets
and alleys. Any company failing to make such de-
posit within thirty days after the passage of this or-
dinance, or within five days after commencing busi-
ness, if a new company, or which shall fail to make
good the amount when any portion of it has been ex-
pended, as herein provided, within five days after
notice so to do has been sent by the city engineer,

and enables the stpmach to digest it. It
soothes and invigorates the nervous sys-
tem and checks a tendency to rheuma-
tism. Its quieting action upon the great
sympathetic nerve, which connects the
stomach with the brain, results in the
speedy departure of the restlessness by
night and disquietude by day, which are
the reflected manifestations of dyspepsia.
It is a most effectual antidote to the
poison of malaria, gives a healthful im-
petus to the action of the kidneys and
bladder, and is an admirable means of
resuscitating vigor when impaired by
overwork or other cause.
All that was mortal of George
McClellan was sadly followed to its final
repose in the cemetery yesterday. Future
generations will have to shy of him that
he worthily wore the high command
placed upon him in his country’s need
that at the behests of faction he laid it
aside without regret, and that, great as
were his military services, his civic
career has brought additional luste to his
name. Rest thee, warrior, rest thee.
J. Pinckney Smith, press commissioner
of the North, Central and South American
exposition, to be opened at New Orleans
on the 10th instant, issues a circular to
the press, in which he recounts the ben-
efits to be derived and asks the attend-
ance and co-operation of its members.
The Texas press has been neither
slow to recognize the far-reaching im
portance of the exposition, nor backward
in presenting its claims to the public.
Beginning with the new year, the
North American Review will publish four
war papers from the distinguished Con
I federate General, G. T. Beauregard. The
January article gives an inside view of
I “The Shiloh Campaign;” for February,
“The Defence of Charleston;”for March,
“The Drury’s Bluff Campaign;” for
April, “The Defense of Petersburg.”
Having held high command at each of
these places, there is no man living or
dead who is better qualified to speak to
the subjects treated.
The “waving of the bloody-shirt
takes its origin farther back than the day
of John Sherman. Back in the fifties
Mr. Brooks, a member of Congress from
South Carolina, feeling himself aggrieved
at some remarks made by Senator Sum-
ner at the other end of the capitol, ad-
ministered to the senator a severe caning.
I To “fire the Northern heart,” by making
a sectional matter out of a purely per-
sonal encounter, was the aim of the Re-
publican rabble-rousers. One of them
secured the bloody shirt which Sumner
had worn on the occasion and waved it
aloft in the Marc Antony style: “In this
place ran Cassius’ dagger through.” This
is the true origin of the expression, and
so thoroughly did it accomplish its woik
that the same ensanguined garment has
been made to do duty in every Republi-
can campaign since.

dinance, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor,’
and, upon conviction thereof, shall be fined not less
than ten dollars nor more than fifty dollars for each
offence.
Section 8. Any company erecting poles under the
provisions of this ordinance shall, before obtaining
a permit therefor from the streets and alleys com-
mittee, file an agreement in the office of the city
clerk, permitting the’ city of Galveston to occupy
and use the top cross-arm of any pole erected, or
which is now erected, for the use of said city for fire,
police or municipal telegraph purposes free of
charge.

mode of conducting such wires over or under its
thoroughfares.

A Druggist’s Story.
Mr. Isaac C. Chapman, druggist, New-
burg, N. Y., writes’ “I have for the
past ten years sold several gross of Dr.,
William Hall’s Balsam for the
Lungs. I can say of it what I ean not
say of any other medicine. I have never
heard a customer speak of it but to
praise its virtues in the highest manner.
I have recommended it in a great many
cases of Whooping Cough, with the
happiest effects. I have used it in my
own family for many years, in fact always
have a bottle in the medicine closet ready
for use.”
HALL’S
Hair Renewer.
Seldom does a popular remedy -win such a
strong hold upon the public confidence as has
Hall’s Haik Reneweb. The cases in which
it has accomplished a complete restoration of
color to the hair, and vigorous health to the
scalp, are innumerable.
Old people like it for its wonderful power to
restore to their whitening locks their original
color and beauty. Middle-aged people like it
because it prevents them from getting bald,
keeps dandruff away, and makes the hair
grow thick and strong. Young ladies like it
as a dressing because it gives the hair a beau-
tiful glossy lustre, and enables them to dress
it in whatever form they wish. Thus it is the
favorite of all, and it has become so simply
because it disappoints no one.
