Different Views of SulIy,

The comments of the press through
out the country upon the downfall of
Daniel J. Suily the cotton king, are in
teresting, as showing the widely differ
cnt estimates which the public may
hold with regard TO Il big Spectator. In
tie south Sully was regarded almost in
the light of benefactor. His efforts
in pushing up the price of cotton
brought millions of dollars into the
pockets of southern farmers, and it is
not surprising that they looked upon
him as a very practical friend to south
ern agriculture, even though they were
forced to admit that his manipuations
were conducted with reference entirely
to his own pocket. In other sections of
the country. however. very different
view has prevailed. People there are
consumers of cotton, and the high price
of this important staple brought about
by Sully and his friends have taken a
large amount of money out of their
pockets. They have been taxed heavily
for the benefit of this speculator, and
incidentally for the benefit of southern
cotton producers. 1t is not surprising
that they should have come to look up
on Sully almost in the light of an enc
my to society. and that they should
take satisfaction in the prospect that
the price of the great southern staple
will be more reasonable the coming
year than has been the case during the
past twelve months. The career of Sui
ly merely illustrates anew the truth of
the old adage that what i'm one mans
meat may be another mans poison"

Mayor BeaI in the least. he says ne
hasn't doubt but that the city couid
raise nearly 100000 and still be withih
the five per cent. limit allowed by stat
ute. He maintains that the valuation
of the city property may be properly
taken into consideration when figuring
on the debt limit of the city notwlth-
standing the opposite views taken by
citizens that the assessed valuation
only can he taken into consideration.
According to the recent report OF Inc
city treasurer, the bonded Indebtedness
of the city is $7c0,0O0 in round num-
bers and figuring on a basis of $4,000,
600. the assessed valuation OF the city
the debt limit would be 100000. leaV-
ing n leeway of less than $4,000 that
could be legally borrowed by the city
unless the valuation of the city prop
erty is taken into consideration. Into
the treasurer's report of this year is
incorporated the valuation of the city
property amounting to $2,275,OOO, which
is added to the assessed valuation and
given as the total assessed valuation
and the valuation of city property. MAX
ing the valuation of Bangor $1S.245,02S.
upon which the mayor contends the city
is legally able to hire money for public
improvements. By the addition of the
valuation of the city property to the
schedule the borrowing power of the
city is increased s113.75O. if the
contention of the mayor will stand as
he believes it will. With that rcckOnei
in the city has yet a leeway of $4,000
before striking the five per cent. limit.
