TAXPAYER TALKS.

Editor News:—l am not a discord

trouble, the human flsh is afflicted
with a whole lots of evils and it would

nature to bring more oi it upon us.
However, a recent occurrence in the
political arena seems to me as a cit
izen and a tax payer to give full anti
sufficient; cause for a stout protest
from the people.
in the lirst place, lias the situation
so deteriorated in Brunswick that, a
committee of nine cftice-lioiders slioulu
be held in high conclave and select
a candidate for mayor? H—j .i come

Has the old inquistion been entaile,

QUESTION IC ON
PETITIONS BEING CIRCULATED
IN THE CITY AND
COUNTY.
ONE FOR, ONE AGAINSI IT
The Fight for the Aboltion of tie
City Court of Brunswick
Has Begun in Dead
Earnest.
The friends of tiie city court, as well
is those who hold a contrary view,
are all at. work, and as yet the fate of
the court seems to be
the balance.
Those of our citizens who are inter
’sting themselves in the interest of
the court, point out that its aboiition
would be a retrograde movement ana
while they admit that a few amend
ments embodying certain changes
would be beneficial, they do not favor
any act looking to the complete abol
■ tion of the court.
On the other hand, those who fa
vor abolisning the court ciami that it
is an expensive luxury, and an unnec
essary expense. They want the act
repealed, whereby indictment by tiie
grand jury is denied. They say the
ialary of the judge is exhorbitant in
comparison witli the servee performed
they demand that city court juror a
houid be paid de same per diem as
.s allowed the superior court jurors
On these and several other issues
-wo sets of petitions are being freely
irculated, the one favoring and tho
other opposing the abolition of the
court.
Just how the matter will end cannot,
oe saiefv
Hepresentatlve Butts and Senator
Symons, it Is said, are both iu u;
d' abolishing the court, that is they
were so during the campaign, and It
low seems that the situation has re
duced itself to that point where those
who are in favor of tne court must
act and act quickly, if they) wish to
save that tribunal from aboition
As stated above, friends of both
sides were out with petitions yester
day and the News understands that
doth petitions were pretty well signed.
SULTAN BARS ELLEN STONE.
American Missionery Will Not be Al
lowed to Return.
Boston, Mass., October 16. Ellea
M Stone, the American missionary,
who was captured by Bulgarian or
Turkish brigands last, year ami held
for a ransom, cannot go back to Tur
key. This is the unofficial notice
which has reached Miss Stone from
the officials of the Yihliz, at Constan
tinople. Roberts College, a.t Con-,
itantinople. has also advised to the
tame effect and the American board
tf commission for foreigns also knows
Jhe ultimatum of the sultan. Miss
Stone intended to go back to Turkey
as soon as her lecture contract with
Major Pond, of Boston, expires
She will not it Is asserted tonight
make any attempt to return until the
sultan is willing for her to do so. If
Miss Stone should persist in return
ing to the Ottoman empire, she would
have to do so at. her own expense
vs the American board, in view of
existing conditions, will refuse pos
tively to send her out under their
auspices.
Secretary of State Hay was asked
tf the Turkish government had tha
right to exclude an American citizen,
from its domains, and he replied:
“It Is an excepted rule of inter
national law that any sovereign
power has the right to exclude from
its territory any or all foreigners.”
Chas. A. Stone, brother dt the mis
sionary, said to a reporter tonight
that his sister would not return to
Macedonia, although her heart was
in the mission work there.
"She would be a marked woman,”
said he.
