rlnancial Nonaenss Of tha union.

The Union says, we leave all our inn
provements to posterity and weshould leave
posterity to pay our debts. Win the
Union name some improvement which
we shall leave to posterity. Certainly not
paved streets, The smacadamizlng and
saw dust will not last for posterity to look
at Certainly not the first improvements
for water works-the sand foundation for
the machinery which had to be bulls over;
and the bursted and lost water pipes,
which had to be replaced; and the shallow
bitches which had to be dug over again.
There is nothing among these that poster
ity need be very anxious to pay for. Ger
tainly not the expense of removing the
pumping works where we can get pure
water from the north side of the Island
The men who committed the blunders
which caused the extra expenditures
ought to pay those bills. Certainly not
the water pipes. for they will have to be
renewed by the time the debt is paid.
Every cent ofthe $4,000 floating debt
has been caused by the foolishness of city
councils expanding more money than was
collected for given purposes, and tiding
| it over on succeeding administrations
While THE ARGUS has always plead fol-
low taxes, it has also always plead for al
expenditure less than the income, and {
gradual reduction of debt. The debt We
have upon US now all comes from not fol
lowing this principle. And now the Union
don't want any provision made for paying
cent of it, but wants to have it for pos
terity-while it can leave posterity nothing
to show for it except the follies of thos'
who created it, Posterity will regard tn,
men who left that legacy as mean set o
sneaks, who used money for their presen
expenses, leaving posterity to pay it, anC
leaving nothing to show for it.

INTERMITTENT FEVER is so common ID
the country as scarcely to need comment
The causes which produce it are such as
cold, irregular living, over exertion, low
spirits, night air, exposure to miasmatic
exhalatioDs, &c, In large cities where
edge tools and agricultural implements are
manufactured, the grinder protects his
lungs from the injurious effect of the dust
flying off the grindstone by wearing a
respirator. The coal miner ere he descends
the shaft provides himself with a safety
lamp to guard against fire damp. Now it
is equally necessary for those who are
brought in contact with any of the causes
leading to intermittent fever, to provide
themselves with that we'll known and
highly esteemed remedy against it, the
HOME STOMACH BITTERs.

A gentleman who has taken the trouble
to compute the interest on the $40. 900 of
bonds just now needed to pay the citY's
floating debt, finds that under the original
ordinance, the interest in the nineteen
years would amount to 1854, $50, and
under Alderman Lundy's domestic bond
ordinance it would amount in the twenty
years to $l02, 900, or S51 ,450 less. The
new measure is certainly great improv-
ment upon no action at all The main
object of the original ordinance, substi-
tuting per cent bonds for the floating
debt which now costs the city more than
10 per cent, per year, is achieved Ga

5000 bonds for his appearance at ex-
animation to-day, for the larceny of an
overcoat, pair of gloves and a silk hand
kerchief from Michael Radican, on the

noon, the Justice being of opinion that
he was more guilty of carelessness than of
any deliberate desire to steal the articles.
He has probably been taught lesson which
he will not soon forget, however.

Let an ordinance be now passed forbid
ding the issuance of city orders except
when there is money in the treasury to
pay them immediately-and it will not be
so easy to increase the debt of the city.
Citizens may object to the higher rate of
taxes, but it will doubtless be some conso-
lation to know the debt is decreasing
Gazette.
A decent regard for the constitution of
Illinois is all that is needed. Whether an
order be signed or not is not of SO much
consequence as it is not to create any in
debtedness. The way to cure all the
trouble is, ], that the council shall reso-
lutely refuse to contract any indebtedness,
and, 9, if the council does create any in
debtedness the mayor should veto it, and,
3, if not vetoed, or if passed over veto,
then for some citizen to enjoin its payment.
No new legislation is needed, All that is
wanted is obedience to the constitution.

this fills the requirement of the charter
but at the next meeting of the council he
must return it to the city council with his
objections thereto. The objections should
be 10 writing.
The council will then proceed to recon.
slider the ordinance, and, then, we hope,
pass it oyer the veto, as no bonds should
ever be issued which do not provide for q
portion of the debt to be paid annually.
1t will require 7 votes to pass the ordi-

The Holiday Trade.

On the principle that 1.-THE early bird catches
the worm" some of the most Sagacious dealers
i'm Holiday Goods are already arranging their
displays and getting ready to make their at
fractions known to the public. II is well I'M
derStOod fact that the best customers are those
who make their holiday selections early. while
stocks are full and fresh. and when they can
lie properly waited on. Dealers who would
secure this desirable trade should. therefore.
De prompt to give the widest possible publicity
to such Inducements as they propose to hold
out To- purchasers seeking bargains. We need
not add that the advertising columns of THE
STAR are the recognized medium for all COM
municatiOnS Of this class. but We may be par
dOned for reminding business men that the
loss Of a days trade before the holidays can
never be made up after they have gone by.
Those who commence earliest are consequently
least likely to have to carry over a portion of
their stock of goods until next season, with
