men And WOMEN

Many men and women who a sho t time
ago thought themselves of strong physique,
splendid intellect and nerves of iron marvel
at their feeling of exhaustion and total lack
of interest in their business affairs. They
are Overpowered by sense of lassitude,
languOr and dizziness. Their Wanted
strength and self control seem to have left
them when most needed already they have
eXperienceda lack of old time vigOr, a GER
tain lack of confidence, and nervous appre-
hension instead of the old courage; a con-
slant feeling of las ,itude and waning am
bitien: their blood is impoverished, their
eyes lusterless, they are haunted with mel
ancholy and frequently have the "bues;'
they feel their vitality wasting day by day
and night by night; they are easily discour-
aged, irritable, morose and unhappy; pleas
ureS tire and friends bore them.

BY placing Gresham in the chief
seat in his cabinet Cleveland sug-
gests whole lot of things. He
suggests that republican principles
are more in accord with his own
views in the conduct of foreign af-
fairs than are the views of his own
party; he suggests that there are
no men in the democratic party so
worthy or so able as this back
sliding republican who could not
secure seat in congress by the
suffrages of his own district or
state; he suggests that the presi-
dent Of the republic has no regard
for the party that nominated and
elected him to that high office; he
suggests a distrust of democratic
craftsmanship that borders on con-,
tempt, and all these things sug-
gest that Cleveland will have
rocky road to travel if this APP
pointment is a specimen of the
manner in which he intends to re-
ward the faithful henchmen of the
party, the old democracy.

AND Walter Q. Gresham, the
stalwart republican of the past,
who only became a mugwump
when there was no more honor for
him in the party with which he
fought and bled, who never lost an
opportunity for over twenty years
to smite the democratic party, was
one of the old guard at Chicago
that stood for a third term for Grant
and who was one ofArthur'sc cabinet,
Walter @. Gresham, is slated for
the first position in the cabinet OF
Grover the democrat who is great
er than democracy. This appoint
ment coming so soon on the heels
of Gresham's detection from the
republican ranks will be looked
upon as an evidence of the fact
that the Judge was moved by very
weighty considerations to reverse
the political machinery of his life
and touch the back action lever.

WHO PAYS THE FRE1eHrp

ONE of the first duties that viii
: devOlve on the new city admin
istratiOn will be to ascertain tn,
actual Indebtedness of the city
All attempts to achieve this result
have been so far unsuccessful. /
will be difficult if not impossible
task, but it must be attempted anC
approximate results arrived at i
absolute ones cannot be reached
1t may be necessary to advertise
for such evidences, inviting all
creditors of the city to present
their statements and evidences OF
debt. In this connection it becomes
an important question what dispo-
SitiOn to make of such evidences
of debt as may be presented. IN
less all Information thus far OBJ
tainable and all speculation
and calculation as to the in
| debtness of the city are
at fault the floating debt
of this city far exceeds the limit
put upon such Indebtedness by the
city charter. That instrument de-
clareS in express terms "PrOvided
that the bonded debt of the city
shall NOT ha iporoocoJ nor o+hnr
evidences of debt be issued to eX-
coed $4,000 in any one fiscal year,
unless authorized by vote of the
property tax payers" Now, in
case that the council find on eX-
animation of the evidences of debt
that shall be presented them that
sum in excess of the legal $4,000
in and one fiscal year has been in
CURED, what authority have they
for paying such Indebtedness? If
the contraction of the debt was in
violation of law, will not its
payment by the incoming council
be also in defiance of law? Can the
illegal acts of the old council, or
the mayor, legalize acts of the new
council that are plainly not author
lied blythe charter? If this provision
has any intent or meaning it is in
tended to prevent the people of
this city from paying more than
$4,000 in excess of the revenues of
the city in any one fiscal year, I'M
less by vote of the property tax
payers. If this is so, and who will
deny it, what right has the new
administration to pay this illegal
debt: The violation of law on the
part of the old administration can
not be pleaded in VindicatiOn of
the right to an equal violation on
the part of the new administration.
Granted that the new administra-
ton desire to pay this debt in eX-
cess of $4,000 in any one fiscal
year, have they any authority to
do so, even to preserve the good
faith Of the city? Was not the
city charter published to the
world that those having business
with the city might understand
what rights were conferred on
the city administration and what
limitations were but upon their
acts? And are not those who
have become the creditors of the
city, without due examination as
to the legally of the certificates of
Indebtedness issued to them,
barred from recovering such debt
from the city treasury? This mat
is simply suggestive. 1t is referred
to the consideration of the incOm-
ing council merely as one of the
possible factors in the great equa-
ton of city finance; that VeXed
problem of the city debt in which
the unknown quantity" is so hard
to eliminate.
