Tho Full Text of Mayor Flint's Veto of the Liquor Ordinance Last Night. Wo present the readers of the Alert this morning with the full text of Mayor Flint's veto of the ordinance increasing ,the liquor license presented to the city council last night, which is as follows: To the City Council of the City of Jamestown: GENTLEMEN:—An ordinance having been passed by the city council at the last meeting thereof, entitled "An ordi nance regulating tlie sale of spirituous and malt liquors, wines, etc.," within the city of Jamestown, and having duly ex amined its provisions and considered the same, I herewith return said ordinance to the council without my approval and with my objections thereto, as follows: The sale of liquors is legalized by the organic act of the territory as well as by our city charter, therefore it is presuma ble that all persons dealing in the same are engaged in a legitimate traffic. While pursuing their business iu con formity to the laws and ordinances per taining thereto 1 regard them as being entitled to the same consideration and protection as business men in other pur suits. The law provides that before they can open their business they shall obtain a license therefor, leaving the amount of the same optional with llie people but fixing, as the extreme limit, the sum of $500. Now, what is the object and purport of this license? To my mind it embodies no other principle than that of revenue. Could the question be submitted to our citizens to-day, viz: license or no license, it is undeniable that those favoring license would prevail by an overwhelming ly large majority. If this is the fact then it is certain that a majority of the citizens countenance the traffic and this loud cry for high license is an inconsistency if based upon any other theory than that of revenue alone. Could I see wherein tem perance was to be benefitted or a single moral principle strengthened by raising the license my decision would be differ ent. I can not conceive that the number of our saloons would be one less, but con ceding a reduction of two jr three then 1 fail to see the great moral gain. Would not the remaining ones do a correspon dingly larger business With this view, and believing as I firmly do, that in rais ing the license no principle of morality or temperance is secured but that it is purely and wholly a means whereby the city treasury may be replenished the question recurs simply upon the amount at which the license should be placed as a means of revenue. This should -be determined upon business principles, justice and candor, uninllucnced by any natural dis taste one might entertain for the business. 1 allow that our city expenses are some what enhanced in consequence of the traffic, many offenses are traceable to it. Additional vigilance is required to main tain the peace and order of the city. For these reasons the general government has asked from the distillery to the retail shops heavy contributions for revenue and lo cal governments have made like de mands. This is right to a reasonable extent, and yet legislators have seen the import ance of fixing a limitation upon the li cense knowing and realizing.that without this barrier immoderate and over zealous persons would seek at every point and up on every occasion to abuse it. I believe while it is legalized, permitted and al lowed to exist by the supreme law of the land,dealers should be protected from im position by the same law. No one denies that the sale of liquors is attended by many obnoxious features, and yet I will yetiture that no business man or property owner of the city would like to see the saioons abolished. They recognize the fact that in the existence of seventeen saloons that nearly as many business houses are rented at heavy rentals. They recognize the fact that our city is receiv ing visitations in large numbers from land seekers, speculators and tourists from all over the land That we have a railroad center and that large numbers of con tractors and employees congregate here I in fact, that our floating population is great and that it is from this source the saloons derive the greater portion of their patronage. They recognize too that the recipients .of this current exchange are no misers who hoard their money but it goes out to the dry goods men, the groc erymen, the clothier, the liverymen, the barber, the doctor, the dentist, the priest and the preacher. Close the saloons of Jamestown to-day and to-morrow you may look upon an apparently deserted village. I assert that the business men and a large excess of the citizens seek these institutions, and from this fac'. I am unwilling that this class of our fellow citizens whose business is thus sought and tolerated and countenanced should be made the target of oppression and the depository from which to draw the great bulk of our city tax. True, we are cloiheil in a little brief authority and there are seventeen subjects directly in our power. But be fore I am a party to squeeze from tliem the last cent there is ip their business for the purpose of taxation 1 would be con vinced by our citizens at large that they are not wanted here, that they are nui sances and a disadvantage to the business interests and prosperity of the city. It is right and just that they should pay a fair revenue, but at this particular time and in this unexpected manner to double the license is to my mind unfair and unrea sonable. As I have before remarked there is no doubt but that, every saloon woijld pay the advance. They would do it from a sense of necessity, many of them All thev have is invested 'n their fixtures and stock and in order to avoid a great sacrifice they would feel compelled to re main. I can not look upon men engaged in selling liquor in the light that some Others do, I can treat them not as at} os tratitpjjd class by virtue of their employ mentbut only as men, townsmen and citizens, and accord to them the rights and privileges inherent to every man 1 believe as the city advances the ]!'xnse should "be increased, but I think other cities throughout the United States the age and size of ours have exacted no hlghef license th*n we have. I would recommend this, that on the 1st day of January 1SS4 an advance cf $50.00 be made and every six months strengthen the same advances until it reaches $500. I have studied this question carefulty and candidly. I have been respectfully im portuned by personal friends whose judg ments 1 respect, who take opposite views. I may be wrong in my position yet I.cai take none other that would be in accoi with my honest convictions. What Mayor Flint Says. In the sundown contemporary Monday evening appeared some statements so manifestly reckless of the truth and such obvious betrayal of confidence that an Alert reporter interviewed Mayor Flint upon, the subject. The Capital has so frequently misrepresented the Alert that we have come to take its assertions with great deal of allowance, and any matter in which its bigotry outweighs all other considerations, we thought it highly probable that it had prevaricated some what in this instance. We give below the questions put to Mayor Flint and his answers verbatim Question—in your recent canvass for Mayor,Mr. Flint, did you ask the support of the Capital, as that paper states this evening? Answer—No, sir. I had no use for a paper that was too pure for angels to read and too senseless for foold,as I w®uld have considered it a detriment to my success. Q. Did you have any conversation with Mr. Burke implying that you desired the support of liis paper, as lie claims A—I never exchanged a word with Mr. Burke in regard to my candidacy or election. Q—What authority then has he for the assertion A—None whatever. Q.—Did you ever call at the ollice for any such purpose A—Not at all. On my return from the east 1 met Mr. liurke'k partner, Mr. Speaker, on the train, aud had consider able conversation with him, from which I judged him to be a liberal minded, sen sible fellow, and on the strength of that acquaintance during the canvass 1 called upon lum at the oflice aud ventured to solicit his individual support in my elec tion, not saying anything about the sup port of tlie paper, us I did not expect nor desire il. Nothing was said about license or saloons farther than Mr. Speak er voluntarily remarked that he would personally approve of a liberal course toward them and that he occasionally took a drink himself. Q—What have you to say to the opin ion purporting to be yours in reference to the subject of saloons and licenses in Carrrngton, in connection with your con templated building of a hotel at that place, in which the words, "I shall put in a good bar. I shall make it first class, and in that way keep out the low doggeries. That's the only way to do it—put in good saloons, put up a license so high that low places cannot pay it. That's practical temperance!" are given as the substance of what you said to a gentleman on the subjcct. A—I never gaye expression to such sen timents to any one. I had a business conversation with Mr. Casey upon the subject of building a hotel at that place, but the question of license was not raised and no reference or intimation was made to "low doggeries" or saloons of any character other than the one I contem plated. Q—Is your opinion now upon the li cense question the same as it was before the election A—It is. Whenever the subject of li cense was discussed previous to the election I expressed my opinion to friends and opponents alike that 1 thought our present license tax was sufficient, for awhile at least. If that was considered any issue in the campaign none need then to have misunderstood or be now disap pointed in my position. The Fishery Exhibition. LONDON, May 12—Notwithstanding the lowery skies showers of rain, heavy murky atmosphere and muddy roads in the morning an enormously large number of people witnesses lite ceremonies at tending the opening of tho international fisheries exhibition at South Kensington.
