THE TyPHUS FEVER SCARE.

The discovery of suspected cases Of typhus
fever in cheap lodging-houses in this city may
arouse needless alarm among those not familiar
with the energy and watchfulness OF the local
Health Board. The stringent measures IN force
for detecting and isoating supposed victims al
most preclude the possibility that the disease Will
become epidemic. Nevertheless the nature and
extent of these precautions prove how serious
danger has menaccd us, and how easily a little
neglect could have converted reSulent NUS

important public question. A year or more ago.,
s. C. T. Dodd, Of the Standard Oil Company was
invited by this paper to sum up. for the benefit
Of the public. the various arguments which tend
in favor Of the establishment of Trusts Mr..
Dodd complied, and his striking and effective
paper was duly printed in these columns, and at
trncted general attention throughout the country.
Terence V. Powdcrly, the head Of the Knights of
Labor, and prominent opponent of Trusts, was
then invited to sum up the arguments on the other
side Of the question. Mr.. Powderly yields n
forclblc pen. and his interesting reply is printed

who wish to study the subject Of Trusts from tie
respective views of opposing champions will find
all the leading arguments in the articles of Mr.

THE ROBERTS.FRENCh SUIT.
A Hung Jury in the $4,000 Damage
Suit Against DIR. French.

As the LEDGER goes to press it is
learned that the jury in the case of
Roberts and wife against DIR. Pinck-
ney French, which was tried in st.
Louis in Judge Fishers court this
week, resulted in a hung jury. We
understand the jury stood seven to
five in favor of plaintiff. The suit
was brought by Roberts, who claims
that in June 1890 DR.. French was,
through carelessness, guilty of NAL
practice on his wife, for which he
asks 5000 damages. The attor-
neys for Roberts are Nat Dryden
and Hiram N. Moore, and for DR..
French, Chester A. Krum, Geo. S.
Grover and F. w. Lehman. Among
the witnesses from Mexico were c.
R. Gibbs, Thomas French, Drs.
Fritts, Watts, Toalson and Nichols,
Howard Buckley and others. The
costs in the case will amount to con
siderable. We understand a grear
deal of feeling is being developed il
the case and it will be fought to tht
bitter end.

THE OLD AND THE NEW.
Difference Between the Old Charter
and Third Glass Cumbersome
Of the Most Important Chan.
ges Now to be Made.

Mexico will be governed under the
Third Class Charter just as soon as
the vote of last Friday night is an
nounced by the Mayor in a procla-
nation. There will be no change
In the manner of the government
until the next regular election on the
first Tuesday in April. In the e
time the city will be re-districted bv
the old Council into four ward. Two
councilmen will be elected from
each ward, one holding over for two
years. This gives the city eight
councilmen, four to be elected each
year. The one receiving the high
est number OF votes in the coming
election get the two year terms, the
others get the n year term. The
salaries of the Mayor, Councilmen
and all other officers will be fixed by
the Council, and we understand that
the feeling is not to have salaries
very high, especially those of the
Councilmen and Mayor. The new
offices created to be filled by the
people are those of Collector and
Treasurer. The offices of Collector
and Marshal have been heretofore
the same, but now they will be sepa-
rate. The city officers elected by the
people are elected for a term of two
years, except one-half of the Coun-
ell. Four Councilmen are to be
elected every year. The City Re-
corder will not be Clerk of the Coun-
ell under the new charter. The Coun-
ell will select the Clerk as it does
Street Commissioner and other ap-
pointive officers. The Recorder will
be City Judge. The City Council
Monday night will likely re-district
the city into four wards and the
change in the charter will necessitate
only one election, which will be at
the regular election on the first
Tuesday in April. 1t is thought per-
haps that Jackson street, east and
west, and Clark Avenue, north and
south, will be the dividing lines Of
the four wards, putting about 1900
people in each ward, and making
four Democratic wards.
