What the People are Saying.
The passage of the salary grab or.
dinance by Mr. Callaghan's council Is
a very reckless piece of legislation,
and the people look at it as confes'
sion of guilt as to past transactions.
The payment of doublesslaries to
public Off ,ials is not permi ssable IN

So we'll is this understo that even
If there was no direct prohibition of
such spoilation of the peoples money,
it would he condemned by the courts
of justice as we'll as by public senti-
ment.
But we are not left in the dark on
the very point at issue in the city
charter itself. The legislature pro-
vided for al acting mayor, and defined
his powers and duties; this acting
mayor is chosen by the council from
their own body, and only receives his
salary as alderman while serving ia
place of the mayor in case of his tenn
pOrary absence, but in case of the
Office of mayor becoming vacant by
death, resignation, removal from city
or any other cause, the acting mayor
receives the salary of the mayor until
his successor Is elected.
These provisions exclude any con-
tingency for providing for the pay
ment Of two salaries to two mayors,
and the ordinance passed to pay the
mayor pro tenn salary as mayor is
without any authority from the city
charter. to which all ordinances must
conform.
The truth is and every one can see
IL, this ordinance is an attempt to
give sanction to the double salary
grab for which Mr.. Callaghsn and
Alderman Guerguin have been indict-
ed; but it only goes to harden the
conviction in the public mind
that a bold and defiant crime has
been committed, which the grand
jury did we'll to present for trial.
There are 80 many ways to dispoil
the public funds which even the law
does not reach, the people feel that it
would be an outrage to overlook the
plain safeguards erected by the law.

1t is no excuse that because of the
universal recklessness of public ad-
ministration of affairs, such little
crimes as double salary grab, should
be overlooked.

Pusv Factors.

The cotton factors Of this city are about
as busy now as they can possibly desire to
be. They have all the business they can
attend to. Their employees are hard at
work from an early hour in the morning
until late hour at light The local receipts
of cotton are considerably large-. in pro-
portion to the total receipts, than they were
last year-larger, in fact, than in any pre-
vious year for number OF years. This is
due to great extent to dissatisfaction that,
in many instances, has grown out Of free
on-board shipments.
A great many merchants in the interior,
who sold their cotton free on board last
year, are sending their cotton to factors here
this season to be sold. They believe they
will realize better results by placing it in
the hands Of factors, and they are not likely
to be disappointed. Having it properly
classed and offered in market where there
are many buyers, and consequently great
deal Of competition, they are certain OF get
ting the highest market price for it. 1t
would not be uprising If, eventually 3,
much the larger part of the crop would be
consigned TO factors at the ports.
Il is absolutely necessary that the grow
ers should get every cent for their cotton
that can be obtained for it in the present
condition Of the market. Attn prevailing
prices there is no profit ill raising cotton.
and many growers will be fortunate if they
get their expenses out of their crops.
. The very heavy receipts have undoubted-
" had the effect OF depressing prices. And
the low prices will continue unless the re-
ceipts fell off very noticesbly. The anxiety
TO get cotton to market is due to the mis-
take growers made last year in holding cot
ton for higher prices Leading alliancemen
advised the holding OF cotton, and those who
acted upon the advice had cause to regret
dong So To advise farmers with respect to
the time Of selling their crops is a rather
risky thing to do, because there are 30 many
unforeseen things which influence prices.
Among well-informed factors, how ever,
the belief prevails that the prices Of cotton
will be considerably higher before the sea
SOD Is over than they are now. The basis
of this belief is that the crop will not be as
large as last ears, and that this will be-
come apparent within few weeks. How
ever. Gotten growers must judge for them
selves whether TO sell now or wait for a
rise. II they act on their own Judgment
they will have only themselves to blame if
they make mistake

The Kelley Cure.

The death Of the well-known orator and
lawyer, Judge Balser Higginbotham, of
Frankfort. Ind, last Monday, calls atten>
ton again to the Kelley cure for drunken
ness Judge Higginbotham was a patient
of DR.. Kelley at Dwight, H., at the time of
his death. He was a slave to drink and had
determined to try the Kelley treatment.
1t is not stated that the treatment caused
his death, and it would not be fair to as
sumo that it did.
The Kelley cure has been quite gener-
ally discussed y the leading physicians of
the country recently, aud they do not haze
much confidence in it. DR.. Dana of New
York says that it was talked about great
deal by the doctors at the congress of
American Neurologists, which met in
Washington last month, and that the
opinion was that DR.. Kelley made use of a
mind cure, and also used a narcotic for
hypodermic injections. DIR. Kelley claims
that his medicine is bi-chloride Of gold, but
DIR. Dana says that it is hardly possible that
he uses that as cure for drunkenness. BIZ
chloride Of gold ia not mentioned, it is said,
as drug in any medical book.
There is very little confidence in the
Kelley cure among physicians who have
acquired prominence in their profession.
One of the reasons is probably that Dr.
Kelley keeps his cure a secret il he has, in
fact, discovered one He has written moth
ing about it in the medical journals. His
purpose seems to be to make money out of
IL. and from a professional standpoint his
conduct is not defensible. If he has dis
covered a genuine remedial agent he ought
to give it to the public, just as DR.. Koch
gave bis discovery for tuberculosis.
There are millions Of people suffering
from alcoholism and DR.. Kelley. it seems,
intends to let them suffer. Tine New York
Sun says he lis not q healer loyal to
the nobiest princip2R and practice of the
medical art, but vender of proprietary
medicine, who Is merciiessly enriching him
self at the expense of the sufferers Of the
dreadful disease Of drunkenness" Under
the circums. ances 1t is not to be wondered
at that the doctors are shy Of him.
