The cit!zens of Lexington manifest
considerable interest in the Ohio cleo
Stion.
A large amount of money is at present
laying idle in our city banks. This will
be news to the Infiationists.
Fbe Lexington merchants, as class,
are the most picayunish and ayaricious
men we have had the misfortune to be
thrown amongst. They charge more for
their goods than their competitors 90 In
Cincinnati, thereby driving good GUS
tomers over there, who are able to supply
themselves in considerable lots, while
the less fortunate are compelled to buy
here at high prices. This high price
policy is draining the life OF business.
Many oi these merchants are too close
and penurious TO advertise IN the local
papers that advocate their interest. The
only daily paper issued In Kentucky,
east OF the Kentucky river, is printed
here, and one would suppose that every
business man would have at least pub
lie spirit enough left tV subscribe for 1t,
even il he had not the enterprise to ad-
Yertise in its columns.

Courth0use on Tuesday.
DIR. j. Bryan is sick, and is stopping

The high salaries paid to our public
school teachers, principals and Superin-
tendeDt are out Of ali proportion, con-
sidering the small number or pupils at
tending these schools. We can safely
state that these high salaries are just
double what their services are worth.
But no one in authority has the moral
courage to break up this pension system
weighing SO heavily on the Industries OF
our people. What will Capt. john BOYD
say to thisf
The number Of colored people In this
city is diminishing quite last. There be-
ing no employment for them, they are
going to more prosperous places. The
retal grocery Keepers feel the depress.
ing effect vi this exodus, and many OF
them are going away, loo, aud in little
while more than 0ne-halt of the once
prosperous city will be I0r rent.
Many snarp things are said every day
about the official dOings OF MIR. Council.

Belle Kinney, the woman for whom
John Koch is said to have killed himself,
WAS arrested on Monday night lor disor-
DERBY conduct, and on tuesday morning

Court.
Councilman John Boyd says that he
would not nave the office Of Councilman
again il it was given to him. Has il
been customary heretofore to sell it?
The case of our higher city officials is
similar 10 that of the schor.-teachers.
They are getting double the salary thai
their services are worth.
The city OF Lexington is full of pen-
si0ners. 0ne OF tnem gets 5, 900 year
for walking around and looking at the
scho01s. This is an average Of abOul
three dollars per pupil year. The rea-
son why Lexington Is SO heavily taxed
is plain. Fne people are harrassed by
the collectors to raise money to pay sal
aries, which prop up the backs of broken
down families, who look with scorn on
honest industry, while they do not hest
tate to 1--we OF it when done by others.
