N imt i of a .und taste can be wholly in different to the soft ringlets of the Lelies. Since the extremely dec llete evening drese hat cone into vogue society peopio •ee a great deal of one another. Mayor Huzhey Grant has appointed his old friend baloomst Fad iy Divver a police court‘‘justice” in New Y .rlt. When a man need* any justice in G tham new he will have to buy it by the q uart. Finally the Fubbatarians have got old man Dawes by its ear and he has intro duced 1 ito the S nale a resolution inhibit ing the opening on Sunday of any exhibi tion or exp . iti n where nppropra ious from the U nited States are expended. Of course this means t e Chicago world’s fa r. W ouUn’i it be just as weil to make sure t? at it will open at all lef .re these people e. up a wrangle about when it shall clore?

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. Insurrection is rainpautoven in the inner fold of the Pred lent’s official bunch >ld.

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.

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.
