A very Interesting discussion, in which
Alderman White took a prominent part,
came up at the council meeting yesterday
evening, with regard to the sewerage
system which it Is proposed to establish
sooner or later iu our city. The council
seemed to recognize generally the neces-
sity of opening sewers at the earliest
possible date, but thought that the nec-
cessary funds to put the project in opera-
tion, would not be forthcoming, as the
sum specially yoted for the drainage
fund was now reduced to $3,800, and at
least four time that amount would be
required to do the work. The sugges-
tion was made to divert the sums voted
toother funds, to the sewerage V and
drainage fund, iu order to raise the nec-
cessary capital to accomplish this im-
portant end, but it was found that to do
this it would be necessary to take the
vote of the people, as sufficient authority
was not vested in the council to effect the'
measure without a popular vote. Some
of the members expressed the belief that
it would be difficult to obtain the neces-
sary majority to carry the matter through
to a successful termination, but Alder-
man White urged the propriety of mak-
ing the experiment as an evidence, if
naught else, of their determination to do
their share of duty, irrespective of the
result. Mr. White urged the considera-
tion of the matter upon the council, and
said that everything calculated to fur-
ther this end should not he neglected or
postponed, as summer was approaching
and there was nothing so conducive to
public ill health and the breeding of
epidemics than the want of proper out-
lets for the filth and refuse of the citv.
There is no disputing the sense aud truth
of Mr. White's remarks, and we feel as-
sured that if the matter is brought promi-
nently before the public and submitted
to them for action that the result will
certainly be favorable to the scheme .
There was a belief that the parties
mostly Interested in the extension of El
Paso street would mbscrfbe the money
necessary to buy the old Ochoa property
recently acquired by Ben Schuster, and
donate it to the city for the purpose of
opening the street beyond it; but no sub-
stantial assurance having been received
by the council that the money is, or
would be. guaranteed, the whole matter
was tabled at yesterday's meeting.

U LIOHTBODY * Jakes,
The meeting of the city council called
for yesterday at 2 o'clock was fully at-
tended, Alderman Detwiler being the only
member absent.
The report presented by City Engineer
Parker at the former meeting was taken
up for consideration, and the profiles
pertaining to the proposed establishment
of standard grades were examined by the
council. A motion was then made by
Alderman Loomis that the report of the
engineer be adopted as t* El Paso, San
Francisco and Santa Fe streets, which
was carried by a full vote.
In this connection it was suggested by
Alderman Loomis that the city eugineer
be instructed to give the elevation above
the initial points, aud file with the record,
the profiles and notes of the survey. It
was also proposed that the city attorney
be instructed to draw up the proper ordi-
nance enforcing the observance of the
grades adopted by the council iu the
streets aforesaid.
After much discussion a motion re-
pealing the ordinance passed at a former
meeting for the construction of sidewalks
on Myrtle street was carried.
Alderman Krakauer moved and it was
ordered that the committee on streets
aud grades bo requested to make au es-
timate for the construction of a substan-
tial walk across Stanton street at the in-
tersection of Sau Antonio street, also
one across Ccmpbell street at the inter-
section of Sau Antonio street, and a good
sidewalk along said San Antonio street
from the corner of Stanton street to where
block 44 commences.
The city engineer was directed to pre-
sent at the next meeting the necessary
plans and specifications for the construc-
tion of sluce boxes at the points on El
Paso, Chihuahua and Santa Fe streets
where the acequia is to cross said streets.
The claim of George Berliner for two
boxes of Babcock charges for the fire de-
partment, amounting to #9.0S, vas ord-
ered paid.
It was ordered that duplicate of war-
rant No. 112 be issued to the holder
thereof Son his filing a proper bond.
Amount 93.
It was ordered that the whole matter
concerning the opening of El Paso
street through the property lately acquir-
ed by Mr. Ben Schuster be tabled.
The council then adjourned until Mon-
day at 7 o'clock.

The evangelist, Dixou Williams, de-
livered an impassioned address last night
at the National Theatre to a [large audi-
ence. He was listened to with rapt at-
tention, and seemed to make a favorable
impression upon those assembled. Dur-
ing the day he went, accompanied by the
lergy of the city and some church mem-
bers, in a horse-car up and down El Paso
street and addressed the large crowds as-
sembled at the street corners. His ad-
dressee were followed by singing of pop-
ular hymns by his companions. It was
a novel and striking spectacle for a fron-
tier town. The evangelist will find a fine
field here for the exercise of his powers.
VVe advise our readers to call at the Na-
tional Theatre building and judge for

The Tints follows the good old method
of journalism—giving reliable and trust-
worthy news. It does not intend 'to
adopt any new style, if it necessita-
tes a deviation from the straight path of
truth.
A correspondent of the New York
Times writes as follows: "The newspa-
pers note that eight Chinamen have been
neutralized recently at El Paso, Texas.
Have the authorities there overlooked or
have they disregarded the Federal pro-
hibition of such naturalizing? Section 14
af the act of May 6,1882, was as follows:
''Hereafter no state court or court of the
United States shall admit Chinese to cit-
izenship, and all laws in conflict with
this act are hereby repealed." This
provision was not touched by the amend-
atory act of July 5, 188-1. I am not in
sympathy with the discriminating legis-
lation against the Chinete, but the laws
must bs obeyed."
