we should tay that Dr. Miller Is gettlr
mad. Ho doesn't think quite BO muc

the fact that a yet not one of the Mill

office only adds fuel to his flame of 1

HAD Dr. . Miller been appointed poi
master general ho could net be me )

the present time. The continued ale
of the Herald sanctum by offlco-soekc

to say that "complaints about not gi

THE MAYOR'S INAUGURAL.
Mayor Boyd's inaugural motsige Is a
brief bnslnest-liko document. It Is evi
dent that ho Intends If possible to keep the
city within Its means , so far as its expen
ditures are concerned , during his admin
istration. This policy is In accord not
only with business principles , but with
the provisions of the now charter , which
makes the mayor individually liable for
all expenditures In excess of the amount
in the various funds subject to disburse
ment. Under this restriction ho main
tains that ho cannot sign any contracts
or approve any ordinance for the appro
prlatlon of money for the payment o
contracts or of the employes unless thor
are funds for such purposes. This ,
of OOUHP , requires the mayor to
bo very careful Mn the matter
of disbursements. His duty is to see
that the city pays its way as It goes.
Mayor Boyd's recommendation that
action bo taken at an early day for the
the erection of a city hall building , now
that the city possesses a suitable loca
tion , Is timely , and will bo generally
approved by the people who are In favor
of public Improvements , It Is Mr.
Boyd's opinion that the assessed valua
tion of the city for 1885 will permit the
voting of bonds for a city hall building
to the extent of a hundred thousand
I dollars , and It is hoped that his sug
gestion that a proposition to that ef
fect bo submitted to the people at r
cpoclal election will bo favorably acted
upon by the city council at an oarlj
day , or os soon aa it Is definitely ascor
tainen thai the bonds can bo issued il
voted.
THE CJTY ATTORNEY'S REPORT
The official report of City Attorney
Connell Is a very complete document. I
covers a period of two years , and show
In detail the number , nature and dliposa
of all cases against the city. It Is thi
first report of the kind ever prepared am
printed , and Mr. Connell Is entitled 1
the thanks of the tax-payers for Inangur
ting n system that ought to bo kept uj
by every succeeding city attorney. Simlla
reports ought to bo furnished by th
heads of all the departments concernln
their work , as it Is only by keeping full
advised upon the affairs In cash depart
ment that the mayor and council cv
properly direct the business of the cltj
and keep Tfithln the provisions of th
charter. Mr. Connell naturally take
considerable pride in the fact that dm
ing the past two years not a ens
has been lost , or a judgment randcro
adverse to the Interests of the ell3
Were it cot for the fact that an excess <
work , in the line of public improvement !
necessitated the entry of judgments fc
.it undisputed balances due contractors c
.ith parties damaged by change of grades , 1 :
h111 would have been able to make an almo
re perfectly clean balance sheet. It canni
it. bo denied that Mr. Connell has made
10 yery efficient officer , and It is hoped tin
th if any change is contemplated , his eu
or cossor will bo as capable and vigilant , f <
the legal department of the city la ce
tainly of great Importance. The offii
of city attorney should not bo filled I
any man unices he is a lawyer of a
knowlodgod ability and integrity.

n a formal way , yet the Ohlooio emperor -
peror has taken It for granted that
owing to their disastrous defeats they
ought to do so. However , the peace
decree of the emperor of China may be
said to bo delightfully oriental. It ia ,
however , not quite op to some of the
versions of treaties between Tnrkey and
Rntsla pnblLhcd for the benefit of the
sultan's subjects , In which it was sot
forth , with duo rhetorical exuberance ,
that the commander of the Faithful ,
pitying the despair and poverty of the
conquered Muscovites , and desirous , in
his Infinite clemency , of bonofittlng and
protecting them , in accordance with the
precepts of the Koran , had granted them
a corner of his territories and presented
them with some scores of millions of
plasters that they might buy bread and

the vacancy causac1 in the tail-twister's
