To the Editor of the Ledger /:

To the Editor of the Ledger:
The people of Memphis appreciate
your efforts to unearth the rottenness of
our city affairs. Keep on in the good
work; continue to show up abuses, ex-
pose rings and rascalities. If our blood
suckers have any shame, bring to their
faces its blush. Don't hesitate to give
names. We have borne villsinies until
our patience is threadbare. You say
you know q city official who gets $500
per annum for one hours work per day.
This is almost as bad as Barnum's $500
per annum for ringing a bell at Clay
street school (which he makes boy do
for him). Show up the leaders; let Us
look on theml Hold them high Pick
EFT gets his $4,000, Barnum his $500,
that private tutor for ten colored chill
dren $500, and that city official who does
one hours work per day $500, making
the nice little sum of $1,000; subtract
from this our former Superintendent
salary ($2l0O), aud we save in these few
items $1,000. Show 'em all up Look
into every office and court and show up
abuses. That school ring deserves i'm
peachment. Is there no way Of holding
a School Board responsible for squan-
dering the public money? Is it possible
a man so illiterate as TO pronounce, As
+" One OF the Sixty Teachers " says the
School Superintendent pronounces, was
brought down here with great flourish
of trumpeis :" by the ring" Whatever
else Superintendent Pickett may teach,
or attempt TO teach, we protest against
his teaching pronunciation until be
amends his own. He bad better resign
bis position and go to school a spell.

Pher.
In this mornings Avalanche Barrett, oil
the street.car company. rises aud explains
why he took his mules and boxes from
in front of the theater. He claims that
it was purely a business matter, and not
caused by the refusal to pass him into
the theater as dead head (although he
has been going in as such during the
season.. BE says;
We have already lost from II to Is
good mules, which have been killed in
making the turn, which is the worst piece
OF road we have. From the first we have
lost money by this project. It not only
kills our mules and Injuries our cars, but
It also breaks down the drivers. If
the theater people want cars they can
get all they want at cost of 81 so each
per night. of which so cents goes to the
driver.
The above explanation is very funny;
because, if mules are killed, money lost
cars injured, and drivers broke down by
the herculesn effort of standing in front
Of the theater, how can Barrett afford to
stand the pressure for the sum Of $3.50
per night for each car, to be paid by the
theater people2 Is the company willing
to lose mules. cars, money and drivers
for that small amount of money! This
story won't hold water, and must be I'M
derstood in Pickwiokian sense, when
we read the following paragraph:
So far as l am concerned, bought
stock in this company to make money
out of it, and in pursuance Of that idea
| don't intend to do anything that is in
furious to as. 1t is just like any other
business, and has to be carried on by the
same principles.
he says that the change was made
after consultation with other heavy
stockholders. The three heaviest stock
holders are Messrs. F. S. Davis, R. V.
Vredenburg and Barrett, who control the
management Of the road; yet on
Wednesday night last Mr.. Davis said he
knew nothing of the change as made by
Barrett. If the company puts its track
in good repair, as provided by its char
ter, Barrett will not have to deplore the
death Of so many mules, the breaking of
cars or the wearing out Of his drivers.
The company is common carrier, and
has rights; SO have the public, and the
LEDGER is on the side of the public
against monopolies and rings of all
kinds.
