By the time the city gets ready to protect the property of citizens , there will bo no property to protect. Ono of the evening papers makes the query , when Is the work on Indian crook to commence ?

The city council haa not taken any fur ther action on the resignation of Aid. James , of the Fourth word , but at the next mooting it ia expected that the city attorney will report u to whether it will bo necessary to hold a special election to till the vac ncy , or whether the council can select n man , or whether the mayor can appoint. The fact is that the coun cil haa not yet really accepted the rejig. nation. The committee his reported that it considered the resignation on insult to the council , aud unless written apology was filed by a certain day , it forced the accepting of the resig- nation. Thia report was concurred in , ( but no official report has been tnido as to whether the required apology his been filed , and it is neecsiary yet to have auh report , before final action is taken. In the meantime JudgoJames may conclude to withdraw his reiiguatiou , and then the council will have neither resignation uor apology to act upon. Ho would duubtlcu do so if it waa not that the report charg ing him with insulting the council ia on record aud the demand for an apology from him. If this ia with- dravti the sldermiu will doubile&a with draw his resignation and peaeo restored , the farca Trill go ou until the pcoplo get chance to riug down the curtain by a new election. It ia understood that when ? the council jumped ID at the clunco to got rid of Aid. James thai they thought they could under the new charter d 1 the vacancy themselves , and could then pick out a wan who would join iiion > harmouioutly in their ichemes , but h appearing th t the people would hate .ho picking of the man , they felt a little ioubtful about a man of their peculiar i dews being put into the board , and under mch circumstances Judge James might t irova less of a thorn in the tleh than he new suau. It it probable , therefore , hat the matter may yet be pitched up. ind Judge JAUIOS retained until the end hu term , uext priu , when the i > eo- ilo will accept bis rtui nition and the } Migoatlon of other * of the democratic ouucil. THE FIAT MOVE , Tlio 1'ropoNcil GhfttiKO In lie City rinnnclnl Policy , The fact that the general warrants of the city nro being sold at Bovonly-fivo cents on a dollar haa caused the mayor to put on his thinking-cap and ho has boon evolving a plan to remedy the deplorable fact. Uo claims that a few capitalists are bearing the warrants down no that they can feather their ncats with an increase on the cash investment of from thirty to forty percent. The fact ia vouched for by other city officials that there nro loss general fund warrants now outstanding than when the warranla were being shaved at ninoly-thrco conU or BO. The mayor's now scheme ia to have the city take In general fund warrants pay for licenses and fines of nil kinds , and for the amounts duo the city , which has hereto fore been paid in coatn. Thin , ho thinks , will increase the number of purchasers , for every man who hns anything to pay the city will buy warrants at a discount and pay in these instead of cash. The increased demand will , according to his theory , Increase the price paid and war- ranta Trill run up from 7fi cents to 05 cents. Ho also proposes Instead of issu ing the present form of warrants , to hnvo warrants in the form of paper money , and in denomination of ono , two , Five , ton dollars , etc. , BO that they can bo used in business. Still another feature is to got aomo merchants in every line of busi ness to agroa to take those warrants at par for any goods in tholr stores , at the same prices us they would sell the goods for cash. Such , in brief , la the now financial plan , and by re quest of the mayor the city attorney has prepared an ordinance covering those points. The now ordinance is to bo con sidered at the next meeting of the city council. Some do not favor the plan an thus presented , for the reason that the only cash revenue coming Into the city , ex cept when taxes are being collected , is that from fines , licenses , etc. , which money now goes into what is known as the police fund. The now move will virtually wipe out the police fund , which just now is the only cash fund nvnilabl * for the payment of any bills. Every body who owes the city anything would at once atop paying cash , and would buy up some outstanding warrant at a discount and pay with that. The cash revenue being cut oil * , the city would haTe no ready money to pay any bill , and all bills would have to bo paid in general fund warrants. It la predicted that for a abort time the warrants would advance a little , but they would soon drop again , and then the city in making any and all purchases would have to pay a sulUciontly advanced price above what the purchasers could bo made for In cash , to coyer the depreciation of ita paper. It ia doubtful whether the council will approve the mayor's scheme. The real cause of all the trouble seems to be , not that the general fund warrants are not good , at present , not that there are not enough purchasers , but that the people at largo have not enough confidence in the city government. The people are fearful that , although there may not bo ao many warrants now outstanding as to depreciate the real value to aovouty-fiva cents , there may bo thousands upon thou-1 Bands recklessly issued hereafter , and that ic will bo n long time before they see their cash again , if they invest in warrants. This fear may bo groundless , but na it aooma to cxiat the council should tirat attempt to quiet it and restore con fidence. One purchaser of warrants who haa over $2000 invested in them got on honest judgement against the city in pay ment thereof , but instead of levying on judgement tax to pay oil this claim the council insists on putting off the levy until compelled to do BO by a mandamus. Others who would gladly in vest in warrants know this , and naturally shrink from getting into the samotroublo If the council had squared its jlalm , the same person would have become a pur chaser again , and had $2,000 or more to invest again. Such ia but an illustration of how the confidence of tno public ia shaken , and it matters little what now scheme ia sprung , unless the city govern ment auccseds in restoring the confidence of the people , and assuring them in some way that thu fears of over issue and of non-payment are groundless and foolish.
