Edit or: One of the greatest evils we have to contend with, is the existence of hog pens in the thickly settled parts of our city. They are not.oniy exceedingly unpleasant to the smell, equalto, or perhaps worse than the pole-cat, but they absolutely endanger the health of the whole community. And unless our council will pass an ordinance pro hibiting them within the thickly settled limits, the interest and vigilance of our efficient Sanitary Inspector, nor any other power can save us from serious sickness next summer. We have no disposition to curtail the rights or privileges ..f any citizen with in reasonable bounds, but wc do insist that no man, for the sake of a hog, has the right to endanger the health and lives of his neighbors.

From this time on we will continue to pub lish serial stories both in our Sunday and Weekly editions. We will get those of the very brat authors in the laud and will warrant onr readers that they will get as interesting stories as the uovels to be'found at the news agencies aud at a much cheaper cost.

Dear Banner:—1 wish to correct a statement made in your uaper by a cor respondent of this place several days ago. The Baptists, as such, are not “buildingan academy in our town;” neither am I “the prime mover” in any such enterprise, i do expect to open a private school on the 20th instant in Wintervilie, in a uew academy of my own, for the purpose of educating my own children and those of my friends, or such others as may desire to send, have arranged with my patrons to seat from fifty to sixty pupils on patent desks, and shall conduct a school, not for the purpose of advocating any re ligious creed, bat “to teach the young idea how to shoot.” Yours respectfully, Jan. 10,1890. |Xt.

The Alli ance ha* a membership of more than .100,0U0. A secret meeting of the Alliance was held here yssterday. The local paper* arc trying to suppress the whole affair.

A big sensation was created yesterday in Alliance circles when the resigna tion of Felix Corput, as president of the exchsnge was accepted, aud W. L* Peek was elected in bis place. He has heap opposed, however, by L F. Livington, president of the State Alliance, who wants to be governor, and wants it had. Corput has not bet n as friendly to Livingston os the Utter would like, and bas been at work against him. The point of attack, so far a* can be learned, was the salary Corput receiv ed. This has lieen $3,000. Pome of the directors have intimated that the sum was too much, Corput said he’d none of it,'and stepped down and ont. There was also talk of mismanage ment, but ail the directors denied that there was nuy truth in that. There was a stormy meeting yester day. Livingston wanted to be presi dent of both the Alliance and the Alli ance exchange, but in this was thwart ed by the election of Peck, who takes the place at $1,000. The fight is likely to have a strong bearing on the guber natorial election. Corput, who is very strong, has been understood to favor IV. J, Nor then.
