The Trojan HOrSe-WhO Put il
in the City Charter?

EDITOR LEDGER; Section Is of the
act creating taxing districts, simply
provided in the bill originally agreed
upon and sent to Nashville, that fire.
engines, streets, etc. should continue
exempt from execution. I'm the bill
as passed, appears this significant and
possibly fatal amendment to that sec
ton:
And that all indebtedness for taxes
or otherwise, whether in litigation or
otherwise, due to the said municipali.
tics, shall vest in and become the pro
perty Of the State; and all suits now
pending shall be prosecuted to final
determination under the provisions of
this act, without change Of parties.
This is most startling provision to
be interpolated in bill creating a
new government The charter
repeal is supposed to have had in view
the accomplishment of exemption
from ruinous and already existing liti
CATION; and yet we find in this bill a
provision that pending suits Shall be
prosecuted without change of par
ties. That is, not only by the CITY.
but suits AGAINST the city also. 1t
confcrs express authority upon every
creditor to continue his suit to final
Judgment, and hence all his remedies.
1t would seem, are to continue. This
amendment is uuwise and dangerous
1t is one eff the links in the
chain that court cannot over
look, 1t is certain that the city of
Memphis cannot be continued for
one purpose without being continued
Tor all If it has existence to 60 into
the courts in its corporate name and
capacity, it must bear the results of
the litigation. If this enactment be
valid its effect will be to rob us of the
benefits of the repeal. The Brown
mandamus suits are to continue, the
multitudenous other suits are to con-
tinue,and ourpeople will suffer and suf-
fer still. But the charter had been re-
poaled before this act; Memphis was
a dead thing its status in court had
been destroyed, and the amendment is
pronounced by lawyers absolutely
void; and if not, it may indeed be the
Trojan horse that will ruin us.

OUR efforts to publish frst-class
afternoon paper aud to promote the
interests Of all classes in Memphis
and the surrounding country are eyi-
IDENTITY appreciated by the people, and
we take occasion to thank them Tor a
steady increase of patronage. Ever
since the yellow fever period our cir
culation has been growing, while the
advertising and job printing business
is all that we could expect in times
like these. Every week since the
LEDGER came out in new dress,
early in November last, its circulation
has been increased. Last week
222 new subscribers were added to
our list in the city alone, to say moth
ing OF sales over the counter, which
have been larger than usual. Our
river circulation, up and down the
Mississippi and up the principal rivers
of Arkansas, is very large, our agent
frequently selling FIVE or six hundred
copies of the LEDGER to boats going
out ono day, This increased pros
perity enables US to publish a paper
full of live, fresh reading matter, with
all its departments properly kept up,
and thus meeting the wants and tastes
of the general business and reading
public.

Don't let the blood stagnate in your veins
You can prevent It's doing 20 by increasing its
volume and purity by stimulating the diges-
tive organs, and encouraging assimilation,
with that matchless yitalizing agent, Hostel
tcr's Stomach Bittors. People not afflicted
with any organic or inorganic disease, grow
wan and haggard simply because their blood
is thin, watey, deficient in nourishing prop
critics and so m agcr in ousptity that the ov-
tremities are very iinperteotly Supplied with
u, and the superficial circulation extremely
feeble. Hence the bloodless appearance Of the
countenanoo, But when tho Bitters are used
to enrich and quicken the blood, the rosy hue
OF health returns to the cheek, the frame ac-
quires substance as well as vigor, the appetite
improves, and no digestive quaims interfere
either with ITS qualification or the subsequent
tranquility Of the stomach.

Mr. ROBERT GALLOWAY has con-
sented to allow his name to be used as
a candidate for position on the board
of public works. He is one of the
self-made successful young men Of
Memphis, and from his long connec-
tion with the transfer and dray busi-
ness perhaps knows as much about
the condition and wants of our streets
and alleys as any man who could be
named. He is thoroughly competent
for this place, is popular with the
masses, and if elected we shall say an
other good choice has been made.

MB. JOHN OyERToN, in card pub

he would feel it his duty to serve.
There are two merchants on the board
and it would seem right and proper to
have the other member chosen from
the class interested in real estate Mr.
Overton is large owner Of this kind
of property, is a good landlord man
of moderate views and fine business
experience and sense. He is popular
among all classes, and in every sense a
representative citizen. As to his eli
gibility there is no question. The
bill establishing local government

its Of Memphis merely requires that
the commissioners ON this board
shall be at least thirty years of age,
residents Of the county at least five
years before their appointment aud

at whose suggestion this amendment
was added to the bill so carefully and
elaborately prepared by our best law
yers and leading citizens. 1t is
charged to interested individuals who.
IN looking out for self, are willing to
sacrifice country. We can scarcely
credit the suggestion that an ambitious
oihclal threatened that. unless pend
ing litigation was continued, he would
go to Nashville and break up the
whole scheme of repeating the char
ter that to Nashville he went and
" got in his work. 1t is scarcely
credible that any person, for the pur-
pose OF prosecuting or resisting city
suits with the hope of making repu-
tation, however cheap it may prove, or
for the sake of paltry Office, or with
a view Of drawing a little milk Of filthy
lucre from the pap of pending legis-
lation, should be willing to hazard
everything and to sink our whole
people for selfish ends. The amend
ment also expressly provides for an
attorney at a salary of $1,000 per
annum. 1t is said that the endeavor
was also made to feather several nests
by these amendments. Will our mem
bers Of the legislature let the people
know when and how and for what
reason the changes were made? We
do not know or care for the motive of
the author of these amendments. We
honor our representatives for the good
they have done and for their good pun
poses but we set this blunderinq
to the credit of their un-
suspecting innocence, or to the stupid
Ignorance or knavish rascality of some
body. ALMA

A sIagnifleent bee Crop.

The most successful ice harvest ever
known on the Hudson river will be
completed in a few days. Never before
in the history of ice gathering has
such an immense quantity been cut
and housed, and never before has the
ice stored been thicker or of better
quality. The figures obtained are of
the most interesting character, and
show to what gigantic proportions the
business of cutting and housing ice
has attained. Thousands of men and
boys, hundreds of horses and scores of
steam engines have been employed.
and hundreds of thousands of dollars
have already been paid out. The pay
of ice-gatherers ranged from 81 to
$L75 per day. By the end of the
present week more than 100000 tons
of ice will be housed on the Hudson.
and over two-thirds of it is already in.
AT the various points along the Hud-
son there are employed in gathering
the ice crop, 1926 men, 1903 boys.
1872 horses and 81 steam engines. The
total capacity Of all the ice-houses
along the Hudson is 2,O6l 800 tons.
1t is proposed by the Knickerbocker
Company and many of the Others to
stack thousands of tons of ice outside
of the full houses. This stacked ice
will increase the crop to about 3,O0O,-
600 tons The stacked ice will be the
first carried to New York, and it is to
be expected that it will last nearly all
summer, so that when fall arrives all
of the houses will still be full, and
thus this winter a two-years crop will
be secured, a thing that has never
been done before. The quality of the
ice is in every respect frst-class. II
Is not only from ten to fourteen inches
thick, but is also clear water ice.

TOMORROW the people of this
community will have an opportunity to
elect one fire and police commissioner
and three commissioners to serve on
the board of public works. There
should be full vote polled. The
people must see by this time the i'm
portance Of looking after their own
affairs, and Of placingnone but capable.
honest, fearless men in office Good
men have been named for these
positions, and they are willing
to serve if elected. The impor-
tance of making proper selections to
supplement and carry out the work
begun by the legislature and Governor
Marks cannot be too deeply impressed
upon the public mind. This is a mat
ter Of business, and very serious busi-
ness it is. We should vote for those
who can best serve the public in these
trying times without regard to per-
sonal preference or politics. The first
question in regard to candidate
should be, is he honest, is he capa-
ble?' This is crisis in our history.
and much depends upon the action of
the people tomorrow.
