WHAT THE CITY CLAIMS.

WHAT THL CITY CLAIMS.
1t Is claimed on the part of the representa-
t,vcs OF the city tina; this McKeag suit is In
famous, ext0rtlon tie, ami absurd. McKcag was
not on sal 4ry. to be sure, hut he WAS furnished
with these II Qij names, each OF which he no.
t1ed of a violation OF the Excise law and a
commencement Of suit. Had he pressed the
cults and obtained jiagments resulting In large
revenue to the ci.y, there might have been ap-
parent equity in his asking reasonable COM
nsation. But he did nothing Of tho kind.
We have carefully examined the records and
nnd an extraordinary discrepancy between tho
suits begun and the suits pressed to trial,
and an equally strange discrepancy between the
suits In which an answer was put in and the
JUDGMENTS obtained. BY the following digest
It will be seen that McKelc couscentlously
charged Sl0 for every suit begun; that he added
325 extra for every suit In which James Nj
Smith, Fred. SIM tn. and all tho other Smiths
put in an answer that he charged an extra $50
FOR every suit put on the calendar; and that
when a alignment was obtained-as was the case
10 only 1861 out OF tho whole 1875 suits-he
actually charged s25 more, getting In each in
divldual clse sllOi That this Is no fancy sur
