UNCONSTITUTIONAL IDEAS EXPLODE The Ust Councils for the olu year were vested with a peculiar interest because wars aud rumors of wars were freely discussed before tney met; but the expectation ex ceeded by far the realization. It might hare been the If ew Year; but asain, it might have been business. Bet-re Councils met yesterday it was said that Mr. Battles would present a resolution asking that no Hungarian or Italian be cm ployed on city work; also that a gentleman was to present an order relative to gas com panies in general, and the Philadelphia Gas Company in particular. These rumors did not materialize, how ever, the first because it was' unconstitu tional, and the seeond, probably, because it was unadvisablc In the Select branch Chairman Ford pre sided, and ordinances were presented and referred regulating masquerade balls and the licensing newsboys. The report of E. C. Elliot, of the Depart ment of Public Charities, for the month of December, was read and accepted. It showed expenses for the month of 57,043, with a balance of 521,309 40. During this month the dispensing physicians attended 138 patients; made 375 visits; received 307 official visits, and supplied 702 prescrip tions. There were 545 inmates of the City Home and the different institutions. Mr. McKee started a tilt by asking the Finance Committee to report estimates for appropriations for 1889 at the first meeting in January. Mr. 'Getty, a member, said this was AS IKSINTJATIOX against his committee, and they could not report so early. ? Mr. McKee It is notorious that the ap propriation ordinance has been held back and then rushed through before its contents can be learned. Mr. Getty This is a year of general as sessment and the appeals are not in yet and the books are not ready. Mr. Lambie then read from the laws of Moses and the new Charter, saying that the chiefs of the different departments shall hand their reports and estimates to the Mayor on the last day of the year, these to be returned by the Mayor to Councils. The whole matter was then amicably laid on the table. The report of E. JI. Bigelow, Chief of the Department of Public'Works, for Octo ber was accepted. It showed s balance in the appropriation, October, of $343,396.10; expenses for the month 85,122.82; balance $258,273.34. Mr. Andrew Robertson presented the fol lowing joint resolution ot Councils relating to natural gas companies: WhebeaS, The Philadelphia Company has by lease and purchase absorbed several of tbe natural gas companies, supplying this city with natural go, against the spirit and provisions of the natural gas act of 1SS5. and Whereas, the Philadelphia Company and other naturalists companies furnishing Pitts burg and Allegheny witb gas have arrogated to themselves tbe rigbt to turnisb gas or not to consumers and to charge what they please for the same; therefore, Section I, Resolved, That the State Legisla ture at tbe present session, be requested to en act laws compelling natural gas companies to accept the-legislation relating to incorporation and legislation of tbe natural gas companies. EIGHTS OP APPEAL. Section II. Resolved. That tbe State Legis lature be requested to supplement the natural pas act of 1SS5 by adding the section of the gen eral act of Juno 29. 1871. giving any consumer the rigbt to apperl from tbe charges made against bim or her to a court ana jury. Section III, Resolved, That the clerk of Couucils be directed to send to each member of tbe Senate and Asserabl) from Allegheny county, a copy of these resolutions and to aUo send a copy of tbe resolution to the Councils of Allegheny City and ask their assistance in tbe matter. The resolutions were adopted. The Committee on Corporations was in structed to prepare an act embodying these points, and an ordinance was passed author izing the Department of Public Safety to -appoint eight additional patrolmen. A tilt then ensued between Messrs. Lam bie and Robertson, the former desiring to amend the Common Council resolution, re lative to giving the East End Electric Com panythe use of tfle city poles, while the latter desired it to pass intact. Mr. Robert son said the city got 300 times a better light at 11,000 less cost, and the company should be given a favor. Mr. Getty sided with Mr. Robertson, and finally the company wss given the full privilege so long as they lighted the city at present crices. Several minor papers passed in Common Council were referred back to the Finance Commit tee, and Councils adjourned. COMMON COUXCILHANIC TALK.

In Common Council, President Holliday -ailed that august body to order, and the following papers were presented and re "red: Granting the East End Electric " upany the right to erect poles; establish j; the grades of Bowery and Gardner llfeys; for opening Lewis street; repairing Penn avenue from Point Breeze to Rich land street, and interminable resolutions for changes in streets and small damages asked.

A-Teolution to reduce the water rents was amended by Mr. Magee, who spoke ot the water debt, and asked .the Committee of Public "Works to investigate the matter; adopted. Mr. Magee called up the resolution rela tive to natural gas companies, and tbe CoundM concurred in the action of the Select Council.

Judge Stowe, sitting a master, in the suit ot Andrew Hartupee against the city of Pittsburg, yesterday heard the testimony of the plaintiffs and then dismissed the case .absolutely. Judge McCandless and C. A. Sulll Tan, Esq., represented tbe plaintiffs, and the only-witness placed upon the stand was ex-City Attorney Thomas Blgelow, whose testimony failed to substantiate certain charges of fraud and collusion made by the plaintiffs. In this connection Laao S. Van Voorhis Esq., makes the following explanation: "The statement made to-day in tho Hartupee cse that I bad said to am one that Thomas S. Big elow had influenced Lowry, and had informed me that lie had done 60, is untrue in every par ticular. I never had any conversation with Mr. Bigelow on this matter, and never so stated.'p Trial Lists for To-Morrovr. Criminal Court Commonwealth vs. P. M. Mclnerney. P. M. Connolly. Mike Klein, W. J.

IX tbe CriminU Court yesterday Louis Lant ner was tried for selling liquor without license in tbe Second ward, Allegheny. Lanter had been refused a license, and rented his saloon building to the Acme Hunting and Fishing Club. Tbe testimony of tbe prosecution went to prove that Lantner entered into a contract to furnish beer to this club on the check sys tem. The jury had not returned a verdict when the court adjourned. As Judge Collier was looking over the new panel of jurors in the Criminal Court, yester day, be discovered that Constables P. Mclnerny, of tbe Firth ward, and P. M. Connelly, ot tbe Ninth ward, who are indicted and down on the calendar for trial in the present term of court, are both among the jurors on tbe new panel. No action has yet been taken in tbe matter-by tbe Court; but, as it at present stands, both men may bear and determine tbe suits against themselves. Joseph H. Jacobs filed a bill in equity yes terday against the Ruby Light Company to re cover commissions alleged to be due him on a contract made to sell red fire, torches, etc., in Western Pennsylvania and In ianapolis during the late campaign. The defendants refuse, he alleges, to make an itemized statement of their account or to settle with bim for sales made in one place while he was in another. He prays the conrt to compel them to do so and to bring all their bonks into court for that purpose. DEATH OF WILLIAM CARR. Reioluilons of Condolence.

TO IMPKOYE THAT "HIGH LICENSE LAW There is one taunt flung at the Law and Order League more than all others. "Oh, they get all or half the fines," some people say, and hundreds of others at once conclude that if this is so the society is in the work of reform for revenue only. So often has the allegation been made that it is perhaps generally supposed to be true. Lately it has ben circulated again, and is said to be the basis oCa movement to have the Legis lature turn these fines into a different chan nel. The subject came up yesterday afternoon during a conversation between a Dispatch reporter and William Yost, Esq., attorney for the Law and Order League. He laughed about such a movement and said: Yes, I see by tbe papers that some smart peo pie are just going to ruin tho League by having tbe penalties for illegal liquor selling turned over to the State or county, and threaten to have tbe law amended for that purpose. As far as tbe League is concerned we have no ob jections. About 520D will cover the penalties received by tho League since May 1, 18S3, a small item toward our expenses. Some of the papers and many people seem to think it an unheard of thing that a prose cutor who takes upon himself tbe labor, odium and expense of enforcing the laws of the State should receive any com pensation or remuneration therefor ont of tbe fines collected and paid into tbe public treas- mm. Hut- lirlaf .rqmlniillmi ef thp statistics of Pennsylvania shows how utterly groundless! and senseless is this complaint against tbe act of 1835, prohibiting Sunday liquor selling. DISPOSITION OF FINES. By the game law of June 3, 1878. there are 27 offenses prescribed, for which penalties rang ing from J5 to $100 are imposed, recoverable by summary conviction, and one-baif to go to the informer, whether he is a witness or not. By the fish law of May 18, 1878, there are five offenses created, and penalties from $5 to 850 affixed. One-half of the penalty goes to the informer suing for it, whether he is a witness or not. Bv the "road law" of 1836 there are eight of fenses for which penalties of from SI to 510 are inflicted, to be recovered by an action of debt and one-balf to go to the informer, whether a witness or not. Under the road laws of 1815 and 1868 two other offenses with penalties of Soto J25 are enacted and the informer given one half. Under the general "peddler's acts" of 1830, 1810, 1799 and 187S there are seven offenses de fined and penalties of S20 to $50 appointed, one half to go to tbe informer, who sues therefor in an action of debt Under the "auction law" of 1859 there aro four offenses with penalties of $50toJ500.of which one-half goes to any informer suing therefor, whether a n itness or not. There are perhaps as many as 60 local "ped dler's acts."almost every one of which prescribes penalties for their violation, and provides that the informer collecting such penalty shall re ceive one-half thereof. The"oleomarcinnelaw"of 1S8S creates an offense and affixes a penalty of $100, one-half of which poes to the informer, who may sue therefor in an action of debt and testify in the c?ss. Manv such suits are now pending. The act of ISM prescribes a penalty of $50 for taking illegal fees by Justices, Aldermen and all county officers, and gives the whole penalty to the person suing for it, This law is in daily use, and has received tbe highest commendation of the Supreme Court. The Allegheny countv liquor law of 1872, which was in force for 15 years, and until tbe Brooks law came into effect, authorized an al lowance of $10 to the prosecutor for each of fense prosecuted to conviction, and as much as 500 have been paid to a single prosecutor under it. THE STATE'S POLICY. This list might be extended at pleasure. It would not be a difficult task to cite 150 acts of assembly of Pennsylvania in vbich penalties are inflicted, and one-half given to the prosecution or Informer who sues for the same. And very few of them contain the wise restriction found in the Act of 1S55 (under which tho L. & O. League has been working), that if the prose cut or is a witness be forfeits all right to any part of the penalty These acts of assembly show tbe settled policy of the State to have always been to encourage In this way the sup pression of those classes of criminal offenses, which, bv reason of the number of offenders, the extent of the evil or the difficulty of its detection, are usually winked at by the officers of tbe law. Tbe simplicity and speediness of the retnedv bv a civil suit fur a penalty renders it eminently fie for tbe suppression of illegal liquor selling, as the experience of the league abundantly proves. I bare only to add that to expect the con stables ami otber officers to exercise all the vigilance and ability necessary to convict Ille gal liquor sellers in tbe face of tbe hostility of every grand jury and its unwillingness to tar diet, and for no other compensation to such offirer than the peyy fees amounting to from $3 to S5 in each case, is asking too much. Offi cers cannot do all that work without par, and for "enmitj" instead of "glory." Tbe oldAUe gheny countv liquor law which was repealed, by the Uroocs law allowed $!0 in addition to 'all fees. That was lit tle enough for the constable or other officer. And if the Brooks law allowed 25 to the constable for each conviction (subject to the Court's approval) it would be no more than justice to the officer, and would secure the full enforcement of the law. If the law is a c;ood one it is worth enforcing. And the lawsl have referred you to show that such has been the State'6 policy in regard to other offenses; why should it not be the same as to illegal liquor selling! A Shave for J -15 of a Cent.
