ITte Next City Council.
| The time Is close at baud when anew
I city council will bi elec :e.l. As yet eery
little has been and mo townrJ eelec.iue Candi
da :ea for council men. lu two or three dis
tricts meeting’, have b©an held and prefer
r enc-os for crnain men have b>en t.xprrsied,
but tbe fitn so of th se man for tha p >siti i:is
for which they have been name! ba>n tbeen
g-nerally canvass© 1 uor has there be?n any
movement by business mm a id taxpayers
to secure the election of a council composed
of men who, because of their busmo** abil
ity, i harae’er and dev tion to the
city'a ’>! fare, would most likely admini.t*r
municipal affaire isely and ec inomically.
Nearly all of those citizen* who have la ga
interests at stake, and who are st ivlng m
other respscts to promote tba city's welfare,
are indifferent, appirently, whether fl: men
are chosen to govern tbe city o not
This is a remarkable c mdition of affa’rs,
to say tbe least of it—a c mdition.of affairs
that does i.ot ©x.sf, probably, in any other
city in tbe country. IVhat i< tb i came of
this apathy i Do not th >se who own the
business ad real estate care whether or
not the city is governed with wisdom and
ability? Do they not know that bad man
age cent of municipal affnrs o istruc * the
city’s progress? Are they not awaro that if
incompetent men are placed in the council
the city will nit enjoy that degree of pros
perity which she would if her affairs were
directed by msri of broad views and who
were conscientious io the discharge of their
duties?
The budget for the next year is about
made up, aud it appropriates considerably
more money than the last oue. Over
#750.000 is to be distributed uext year. It
can be distributed so taut the city will show
benefits from it or so that it will be impos
sible to see any results from much of it.
This is a critical time In the city’s
history. Within the next year she will
have at least two additional
ra: Iroads, and she in y have several others
before the term of the next council expires.
VP ith such an increase in her r iiroad inter
ests site is certain to grow, and a< she grow*
important questions will present them
selves. An additional supply of water must
be furnished, a system of house drainage
must be adopted, streets in i t be opened,
pai ing must be done, trees mu t be planted,
and many other things scarcely less import
ant will demand ntten ion.
It is apparent that to administer the
affairs of the growing city so as to produce
the best results the city’s council tnuil be
composed of men deeply intere ted in the
city’s welfare, earnest ad faithful in the
discharge of their pu lie duties and possess
ing good executive ability and sound b isi
nese judgment.
Wilt man of this kind be in the majority
In tbe next council if citizens of promi
nence and infljer.ee wholly neglert muni
cipal politics? Of c mrsa not. The chances
are that under such circumstances the
council would bo made up iarg ly of men
unable to appreciate the hno irtance a id re
sponsibilities of their positions, aid who
would be doing something continually ttiat
would interfere with the oity's advance
ment inst ad of pursuing a polic / that would
Increase her prosperity.
There are many men who wou'.d like to
be members of the council, but not. many
of them who would be of any benefit to
the city. Let tbe solid nteu take the interest
in munlc.p.l politics winch they should.
They ca i. If they will, so influence the
choice of oaudidatei for couacllmen that
tbe city’s interests will not suffer in lbs
bauds of the next council.
The Consumptian Cure.
Interest in the ex[ieritnents with Dr. Koch’s
consumption cure tas not abated iu tbe
least. Indeed, it is iucreasir g, mainly fur
the reason that the di cuwiou going on
among physicians lelative to its merits is
attracting tbe attention of all .classes of
people in this country ar.d Europe.
New York physic.ans whi have just re
turned from Berlin are not as confident
I hat a cure for consumption has been found
as Dr. Koch’s admirers in Germany are.
They do not condemn the cure, however,
which las been named ’’Kochire.” They
are in lined to wait for results > f other ex
periments before pronouncing for or
against it.
There are 4,000 patients now under the
ICocn treatment in tho hospi'als of Berlin,
and tho Uetman government is erecting an
immense buildirg, wt ich will ba devoted
wholly to Dr. Koch’s use. It ca mot be said
that there has been a si gle patient perma
nently cured yet. A good nia y suffering
from lupus have been discharge l from the
hospitals as cured, but it is by uo means
certain that they will not soon show signs
of tl e disease again. 8 me of those who
were discharged ai cured have returned to
the hospitals, having bad a relapse.
According to the repo, ts uo oue suffering
from tuberculoids of tbe lungs has lieeu dis
c arged as cured, though a g cat many
suffering from 'hst form of consumption
have been apparent y greatly binetlted.
Pasteur, tbe celebrated French savant,
says that it is toasouu to accept or condemn
“KocUiiie." That the remedy produce]
soma wonderful effects in the human system
there is no doubt, but therea.’e apprehension]
tbat it has a da.nagi ig effect upon the kid
n-ys, and tbat lor that reason it may not
be safe to use it. However, the new remedy
is meeting with j st t ie sort of n reception
that it was expec ed it would. It will bi
condemned as wor.blots by nm' aid held
up as a groat discovery by others. It will
be a year or two, perhaps, b.ffora there will
be a consensus of opini ta as to its worth.

THE MORNING NEWS; SUNDAY, DECEMBER 21, 18S0—SIXTEEN PAGES.
Chicago Must Furnish the Casta.
If Chicago hod an idea that she would get
the world's fair without ] laying for it she is
lieginoing to find out that she was mistaken.
A ft w weeks ago she made an earnest do,
mand upon the President to issue his procla
u.ati'n to frreign i atiota relative to tbe
fair, and an iuvitat.on t> them to take part
.in it. He said he woull do a > ju t as soon
as he became satisfied that Chicago
was in a position to comply with
; her financial obligations to tbe fair.
The Chicagoans did a good deal
of loud tauing to the effect that it was an
out: age to question tbeir good faith nr
financial ability. The President, however,
was not disturbed in the iea-t by their
windy assert.ons about their inteniioj to
do ail they had prom.sed. He virtually told
them “to put up or shut up.™ They finally
succeeded in satisfying hitn that tbe city of
Ch cago would issue tbe #5,000,000 which
she had promised, and then they became
very aggressive in their demand that the
proclamation and io vitaticu should be issue,
at on ;e.
Tho Pres dent, however, wants something
more. He wants assurances that the $5,0 K, 1 ,-
000 subscribed by citizens of Chicago wi.l be
paid. A cording to our dispatches yester
day fce has refused to and > anything toward
ndvanci g the fair until all the financial aid
promised bv Chicag >is in sight. He duos
not intend that tbe fair shall be a failure for
want of money to carry it on, aud he is
right.
The whole country remembers how pro
fuse in promises Chicago was when she wa*
bidding for the fair. From the talk of her
representatives it was rea-onablo to suppose
that she was prt pared and willing to bear
the whole expense of the fair, and to make
the fair tho greatest the world ever saw.
She got the fair, but many of the subscrip
tions of her citizens have not vet been paid,
and, if what some of her news; a pars say is
true, are not likely to be paid. At least
one of the Chicago papers has advised that
suit be brought against tha delinquent sub
scribe rs.
If the President remains firm in the posi
tion be has taken there will be no fair un
less the cash is forthcoming. Chicago is
called the Windy city. Perhaps her idea
was to run the fair oa wind, and depend
upon tbe government t j pay the bills after
the fair was over.
A Remarkable Dofenas.
A large part of the civilized world is in
terested in the murder trial now going on in
Paris, in which a woman Mamed Bompard
and a man named Eyniud are tho defend
ant a The interest is due not so much to the
remarkable crime which tney co nmitted as
to the defense which the woman sets up.
Her defense is that she whs hypnotized by
the man Eyraud, and thus compelled to
assist him in the commtss.ou of t..e horrible
deed.
The woman Bompard had not been long
in Paris when she met Eyraud. He seems
to have acquired a wonderful i finance ovrr
her at once. She ca ne from someone of
the provinces where, from the testimony,
she appears to have been somewhat
notorious. Eyraud became her paramour,
and they lived a rathe; fast life. A rich
jsweter named Gouffe admired the woman,
and she invited him to her apartments.
As he sat beside her on a sofa she playfully
took her girdle from around her waist, and
placed it about his neck. Bhe then parsed
it through a hole in a curtain which bung
at the back of the sofa. Eyraud, who was
concealed tbe:e, took hold of It and
strangled Gouffe. Eyraud and the
woman Bompard then robbed
the body and cut it up and packed it in a
trunk, which they took to a forest a long
way from Pari* and concealed. Th y fled
to this country and went to Victoria, Van
couver Island, where the woman left
Eyraud and returned to Paris, and by the
advice of another lover told the story of
ihe rrmie to the police. Eyraud was ar
rested in Havana aud taken back to Pai is.
The trial is a very sensational ona It is
full of surprises. It is a sort of serial
Fiench novel. Can a French jury be made
to believe that the woman Bompard was
hypnotized by Eyraud, and that she wai
powerless to do otherwise than the did?
It is not improbable. Both men aud women
have done s ;me strange things while u..der
hypnotic influence. There are emiuent
French physicians who w;ll testify that it is
possible to make persons commit mu-deror
any other cri ne when they are hyp .o izeit.
The hypuotiz.'d persona have uo will . f
their own. Tney a e completely under the
i fluence of those whohytmotiz; them. The
result of the Eyr.iud-Bompard trial is
looked for with deep interest, if the woman
is acquitted on the ground that she was
hypnotized there will he at once anew and
very effective defense in matiy murder
cases. ______
One Use for McAllister a Book.
Ward McAllister did not write his book,
“Society ns I hvve Found It,” for the so
cialists, and yet Civil Service Commissioner
Roosevelt, who is en itled to be considered
one of the 400, said at the Nlr.etee .th Cen
tury club's symposium the other night test
he u’iderst >-jd ttiat the book ns being circu
lated by the socialist] to show what manner
of people there are In New York who live
o i tbe fat of the land and do no woi k. Mr.
Roosevelt went on to say that if he be ieved
that the t est people in New York were the
kind described in Mr. McAllister’s book he
would not blame anybody for being a so
cialist,
Mr. Roosevelt has not a great, deal of re
spect for the typical man of the 400. He
declared that tt would 1 e better to draw
men to govern the nation from the con
stituencies which furnish New York with
aldermen than from the c ass typified by
the 400.
And Mr. Ro sovelt has not a very high
regard for the class of Americans who |.re
for to live übr al. As citizens they are
as undesirable, he said, as some of those
wl o oi.me to this country iu the steerage.
Evidently Mr. Roosevelt hasn’t much use
for tbe t> p cal man of tbe 430. How over,
there isu’t very many like this typical man,
and it ;* to be hoped that he will not in
crease rapidly. If th© picture Mr. McAllis
ter draws of him is correct ho is not of
much ue. Ferhap*. however, Mr. McAllis
ter’s picture is ovei drawn. It it to lav hoped

Tbe State Road Matter Referred to a
Committee— Tbe Branch ColIesr?8 to
Have an Appropriation Luring
1891—The General Tax Act Flntlly
Disposed ct
Atlanta, Ga., Dee. 20.—The Georgia
legislature would have taken a recess to
night until next summer if Ibe members
c uld have secured their pay. The auditing
committee told them the pay roll could not
be made up cn such notice, and the Senate
amendment to delay adjo rtun nt
until Monday met with resigned ac
quiescence. It was feared that de ay
in a1 j urning would bs occasioned by the
refusal of the Housa to reinstate the bra ch
colleges and tbe Saaate’a da term: nation to
have it done. About three hours ware con
sumed iu the conferenoa between the House
and Hen.ate committees. Both sidis were
stubborn, but a compromise was effected
through an agreement that tbe branch col
leges are to receive the usual appropriation
(luring 1891. A love feast was heiil in tho
House when this was reported.
THE TAX ACT.
The tax act was sent ba.*k to the House
by the Senate and the tax on commer
cial neenc.ee was made #SO for each county.
Tue House had framed tha clause "floO
for each county,” but concurred in the
uineiidmeiit aud this disposed of the general
tax act.
Tbe special committee on state road mat
ters reported shortly after roll call a sub
stitute for tbe Zachry resolution, a .and Maj.
Stall I man ha* stated that it is satisfactory
to the present lessees. It sets fort i the
diffo eriees existing between the lessees of
the road and ti e state in regard to the
question of betterments, and tnau provides
that the state (nali deny a iy and all claims
agaiu-.t it on tbe part oc the'lesaees.
TO BE LEFT TO A COMMISSION.
It provides further that ass on as the
lessees have filed an agreement with tie
governor to abide by the derision of the
committee the governor shall appoint
tfifnt men, ”rtcognized as etm e it for iboir
integrity and ability,” who shall consriture
l commission with power and amhority to
hear, consider and determine the
claims recited and set foth.
They are to meet on Dec.
22, a. and after organizing must decide on the
time for holding fun meetings, l'tiey are
to eport ou their findings to the gove nor.
The concurrence of five metube. s of tbe
commission is requi. ed before such finding
shall have force, and must be app uved by
tbe governor, who may veto the wuole or
any part.
FAVORABLE ACTION BINDING.
Favorable action by the commission and
the government makes tho finding binding
and conclusive ou both the state roid aud
the state. The comm.B<lon shall he ein
p wt-red to summon aud examine witnesses
and shall bo provided witn the services of
the attorney general and ano her attorney
if it is necessary to e iipi y o e. The gov
ernor must, if lie disapproves, file hi<
reasons in wrl’lug witu the oumuissiuii ad
the president of the state road or
attorney in tho case. if the
governor or the ltssees disagree with the
finding in five dxys after ward, exceptions
must be filed with tba sup.eiue court an i

lessees.
THE STATE TO PAY THE BILL.
Tbetfa'e will bear t e exne sis of th©
ccmiuission, each party, however, paying its
attorney fees.
Mr. Gilb rt wanted tho comnen-ntitm < f
tho comm.ssion fixed, aiwl Mr. Smith rf
Docatur wanted the lessees to tiear naif tha
expsisss, but both of these amendments
wo. e iost.
Mr. Hill of Meriwether wanted the c im
ntisslon to considiroaly the question of tbe
state’s liability t r tne Teunus-ee taxes paid
t.y tho state road.
Mr. Goodwin sa : d the governor and attor
ney general could deal with the taxation
question. What was wanted was the settle
ment of the diffeiences.
Mr. Fleming thought the commission
should go to work unrescricte I.
HUFF FAVORED THE SUBSTITUTE.
Mr. Huff favored tho sub-titute. He
said it was better for Georgia to have her
own people pass on this matter tha i that
the state should be made a respondent ii
tho federal court of Tennessee, where
Georgia can be sued and have property Slid
to meet any adverse verdict. He pro
nounced the substitute above outlined the
most arbitrary he ha 1 ever know i, an t
as one-sided, and a failure to accept it wa*
questioning the integrity of our governor,
the supreme court and the exist* .ce of
eight inoii of probity aud standing within
our state limits.

urged the passage of the resolution.
