Query-What is the use in salarying
CiLy Attorney when we have Mayor
that attends to business in law matters,
: and attends to it well?
= Covington has no City Judge. We
poor folks, who like to put on airs, have
topay dearly tor the fun Of maintaining
City Judge. ''Otf with his head"
Pat Lyons does not believe in helping
the police to arrest man with powerful
muscle, as for instance the case before
Mr.. Pat Wilson's residence Saturday
last.
AS retrenchment is the order Of the
day, we would advise the adjustment
OF the office of City Attorney. Reason
why, because our Honorable Mayor is a
firsl-class laWyeri
Saturday we mentioned that Hayes,
the butcher, had been victimized. To-
day we record another. This time it
was nearly whole bullock. The loss
to Hayes is considerably above $4S.
or course, we like, others, agree with
our citizens in retrenchment and will
always MAINTAIN the rights of the people
to settle their own affairs. Newport is
now afflicted with a lot of politicians
that means no good to our city.
The long line of freight cars that
sometimes adorns Saratoga street, is
not such an ornament as the citizens OF
chat street admire. Further, they have
tc wait hours before one neighbor can
visit the other from either side OF the
street.
According to the city laws, retrench-
ment does not seem to harmoniZe or
give satisfaction to many OF our citizens
Our Taxpayers are particularly inter.
ested in all those proceedings, and every
act OF the Committee will be carefully
watched.
1t took seven men to arrest man that
went into Mr.. Pat. Wilson's yard last
Saturday afternoon. MIR, Wilson says
he had no desire to face such q powerful
Zoe, and PROBABLY it is well that he did
not, for the man, he says, could handle,
in his sober senses, at least dozen OF
our city police.
Two car loads of sheep passed through
the city on the Louisville, Cincinnati

purpose OF raising stock.
/. The smoke house of VIM. Southgate
on his farm near the reservoir, was en-
tered by thieves Saturday night last
and all his pork, amounting To nearly
three hundred pounds, carried of. A
Vigilance Committee, properly organ
ized, would in all probability be bless
ing to the Inhabitants of that section o.
tho country at present.
The children of colored family named
Sanders, who reside on Front street
near the Garrison, were playing in !
locked room last night, One of then
put a broom into the fire and got tot
close to playmate, whose clothes
caught fire. The distracted mother heard

tinguished the flames with bucket O
water. The child suffered no serious in
juries.
