1t is only few months ago that one Of
our citizens felt so mean over the thought
of his being an attendant at disreputable
performance in Davenport that, on the
way home, he arose in the wagon, and, after
carefully lifting his coat, said, "boys won
some of you kick me, yes, all of you kicl
me down the bank" This is about thu
feeling that animates certain members o
the city council, judging from their instruc
tons to E. W. Boynton to sue them 70
his pay as brevet superintendent of tn
water works. They feel that an applica
ton of law will do them good, so they pro
pose that the city shall pay the expenses Q
suing herself. These self important alder
men preceive that they have put thei
fingers into a disagreeable mess and ar
trying to make Mr.. Boynton pull them ou
That gentleman has as yet shown no di
position to sue the city, and. possibly, if h
is obliged to resort to law for his pay, wi
, consider his chances of success more ce
tain in commencing suit against those VIII
employed him. The fact that boas
{ were made that they would make
hot for the mayor does not help thel

remarked yesterday The rise and fall IN the price Of
coal is in inverse ratio 10 that OF tho Thermometer;
