WELL DONE, EAST TENNESSEE UNIVERSITY

At the recent examination of cadets at
West Point, Henry H.. Ludlow, OF this
place, and a member of the last years Sc
nior Glass in East Tennessee University,
ranked first in mathematics, in class OF
100 students, and second in the general
average of studies. This speaks well both
for the capacity of Knoxville boys and the
mental training in its University.

A FEW FACTS FOR TAX PAYERS.

Mayor Van elders friends have sue
ceeded by perseverance and check in max
ing many unsophisticated voters believe
that he is the only man in the city capable
of successfully managing its finances. The
foundation for such representation rests
upon his annual exhibits of the revenues,
expenditures and debts of the city, which
are either intentionally or ignorantly
made to misrepresent the actual condition
of our city finances. We ask honest tax
payers to reflect upon the following figures
which are all compiled from official re-
ports.
When MI. Van Glider was installed as
Mayor of this city in 1870, our bonded debt
was S117,5O0 The floating debt was $685.
924.0l, making the total debt of Knoxville
S151 ,42i0I That sum the city owed when
Mr.. Van Glider became Mayor. By the
official report published last week, our
bonded debt now is S143, 200. The floating
debt is Sc, 1S4.20. Add to this the January
interest not yet paid which in round num-
bers is 81, 900, and add also $500 for the
Bell House, which has not yet been paid
for, and we have our present total debt,
S15S, SS4. 20. That is, the city debt is noao
S7,46O.19 greater than it was when Mr..
Van Glider became Mayor. Let US see
now what revenues Mayor Van Glider has
had during the three years he has been
Mayor. From official figures we give
them as follows:
City revenue, 1870, S14,9l9 46
.! 81 1871 Sc, 1885 63
it," 1872 65,09l 60
Total revenue, three years, Sl99, 1892 10
Here we have in round numbers TWO
HUNDRED THOUSAND dollars OF city rev.
enue that has passed in Mayor Van Gill
der's hands in three gears. What has
been done with it? Reader! go about
this city and see how many substantial
city improvements there are to mark this
enormous expenditure. Over SEVENTY
THOUSAND dollars of this sum have been
spent on streets. Where has it been eX-
pended? The putting down of q dozen
street crossings and matchmaking streets
in patches takes but few dollars The
heavy cuts and fills are what cost.
To recapitulate, then, we have our city
debt to-day greater than 1T was three years
ago by S7,460.19. This, although in that
time the city revenues have reached the
grand aggregate of ttCo hundred thousand
dollars. But the Mayor says there are nine
thousand dollars more of uncolIected taxes
due now than when he became Mayor.
When he collects them he shall have credit
for them. They may never be collected.
We ask intelligent readers to reflect upon
these figures. When examined they do
not bear the high praises bestowed by the
Mayors organ. On the contrary, they
should satisfy evory intelligent man that
our immense revenues could be more inn
partially and intelligently applied. No one
asks for more offices or higher salaries, but
every good citizen should ask for the ex-
penditures of the city, especially OH our
streets, to be expended more impartially
throughout the city.

Hon. J. b. PAcKER.-We notice in the
proceedings of Congress, that at its organi-
cation Speaker Blaine, has assigned the
craftsmanship of the committee of Post
Offices and Post Roads 10 the Hon. John
b. Packer, from this Congressional district.
This is deserved compliment both to Mr..
Packer and his constituents, and shows the
high estimation placed upon his ability
and standing in Congress. This committee
is one of the most important in the House,
and Mr.. Packers position is perhaps one
of the most distinguished and honorable
that has ever been conferred upon the con-
stituency of this district Mr. Packers
course, while in Congress, has been not only
honorable and independent, but highly
satisfactory 10 his constituents, aud we ule
happy to sec that our leading statesmen look
upon him as one of our rising men, and are
ready to exalt him to still higher honors
showing that they have full confidence in
his integrity Of character and his ability
as statesman.
