THE Cry AND THE CITY DEBT.-The publ
cation In TIE NEWS OF yesterday OF plain and
straightforward statement OF the impecunlous
condition OF the city government has led to the
promise Of better behavior in the future. Mayor
Pillsbury, when the paragraph In THE NEWS was
read to him by city official, said at once that
something must be done. He had not seen that
the expenses of the police and streets could be
curtailed in any way, but the expenditures In
those departments must be reduced somehow"
This gratifying declaration was not intended, we
hope. for outside effect. Let Mayor Pillsbury
stick to the platform Of "honesty and economy"
and he will soon convert his open foes into fast
friends. Only he must stick.
We are authorized to say that one OF the city
banks has offered to lend the city what money
NAV be required to meet the January interest,
and that the interest will be promptly and pune
tually paid. The Committee OF Ways and Means
expect to make radical changes in the system OF
taxation-every pursuit or profession Will be IL
censed-and, if their recommendations are adopt
ed, they expect that the influx OF money In Janu-
ary will be sufficient to relieve the city from all
embarrassment.
AS we Salu yesterday, we see no oo9eo'ton " %
limited issue OF one and two dollar city bills.
They can be absorbed in trade, and are needed
In retail business. All that is wanted is security
against an issue Of too large an amount. This
can be had in more than one way. The city bills
are receivable in payment OF oil taxes; they will
be taken on deposi, by the Union Bank and Peo'
ple's National Bank, and, as they are undouoted-
ly secure, will certainly circulate at par. Let Us
have some small city bills

THE PALMETTO PIONEER Co-0PBRATTVE AS
soc1Ar1os.-Tne success Of tie cooperative plan
has long been q mooted question, and the ssso-
clstIon conducted on that principle In this city
has been carefully watched by Its friends and
opponents It was originated at time OF gene
raj depression, and for many months hsd bare
tenrre of existence though making every pur-
chase for casn, and gradually, but surely, gain
ire the confidence Of the community. At the
commencement of the enterprise some OF the
stockholders became dissatisfied, but their shares
we're sooa bought in, and the association has,
since thss time, increased its sphere of usefulness
and added to the pronts Of the stockholders. At
the last quarterly meeting, dividend OF h'e per
cent. was declared and statement presented'
irbicA showed that the interests OF the associa-
,t,on l,sd been well managed. There Is general

THE 6rvALvE QUEsTIoN.-It has been
claimed that oysters can be purchased cheaper at
Norfolk, Va, and Newbern N. G., than at Charles
ton. This statement is calculated to injure the
reputation Of our millpond and channel bivalves,
and is in many respects erroneous Charleston
oysters opened by the knife are sold at 81 so per
gallon, and at rs cents when opened by heat. In
'Norfosk Neat-opened oysters are sold at 81 per
gallon, and at Eewhern 50 per bushel, or 81 per
gallon Charleston oysters may not be superior
to those Of the above mentioned places, but they
are certainly priced by connoisseurs for their ia
vor, and command ready sale. The oyster
farms In the city and vicinity where some At
tempt at cultivation has been made, have fur
nished specimens that are almost equal to the
Northern oyster In size.

+ A PROPosEB RADICAL CHANGB.-The Com
uissloners OF the Market advertised some time
since for proposals to erect new scale houses at
the lower end OF the market. A number OF bids
were subsequently received, in accordance with
the plan ana specifications furnished by the City
Engineer. When examined by the commissioners,
that BODY decided not to accept the lowest offer,
but considered new proposition, to transfer the
fish market to the lower end OF the market, on
the opposite side OF East Bay. This change would
enable the board to transform the fish market
into two scale houses, with passage in the
centre, and would give fat job to some one. 1t
Is stated that motion will be made in Council
tonight, to give the Market Commissioners
power to effect this change. The move Is un-
questlonably against the interest Of the entire
community, and 1t is to be hoped that the COM
nissionerswiu reconsider the subject.

THE STREET CARS AND THE ACADEMY OF MU-
NC-Complaint is often made that the street cars
stop running at LOO early an hour, and that a.!
but the few persons who have private convey
ances are compelled to start for home at nine or
half past nine unless they are willing to take all
the risks of wind and weather. This has been 4
great Inconvenience since the opening OF the
Academy OF Music. Many ladies have been un-
willing or unable to walk late ut night to their
homes, and the absence OF the street cars has
hindered the success OF the performances, which
in every other respect are so popular.
These circumstances have been taken into con-
sideratlon by the City Railway Company, and
President Riggs gives notice that the cars will
make extra trips on each line after the regular
schedule time. Cars will leave the upper termi-
nus III Rutledge avenue and in King street at $50
P. ". and 1890 P. NJ, and will leave the Battery
at 10 P. NJ, waiting at the corner Of Meeting and
Market streets until the performance at the Acad-
envy Is over. 1.-THE experiment Is successful the
cars may be run IN the summer months as late as
II O'Clock. On al the extra trips the fare will be
ten cents o passenger, no communication or season
tickets being recognized. This Is the regular sin
gle fare Of the company, aud no one will object to
paying ten ceAts for ride home after 10 O'Clock
at night.
The Street Railway Company, in running the eX-
ira trips, show proper regard for the public
convenience, and will, we hope, be encouraged to
go q step further. Charleston is not fishing viii
lage, where all hands go to bed with the chickens
and we hail the action Of the City Railway Com
pany as move In the right direction-that Of
giving every possible facility to residents as well
as strangers.
