I bejC ,n email sp<\eo lo protest against "Moderate" speaking of "the indifferenco of the police," etc. Does lie not know a largo number of them were down with the "fUi," and the ollii'i's wore doing most . noble work amount the dying and the dead? Real heroes! Mr. Vraaer, S.M., was quite correct. Tlicso ''drunks" did get the liquor from somo of the "back doors." For instance, ft large area of the city for smile time was under tlio care of two policemen only, and they lteth told me, not being ablo to bo "everywhere at once," a great deal of back-door trade was going on in the drink line, but. they wcro doing their best to put it down, and I am sure they were. Yes. I agir» with "Moderate," 'there was n lot of sir-grog sales, but as Mr. Fimcr said, it was slv-Tog lit tho back doors.—l am, etc., A WATCHMAN. ■ December 5.
