on hand, usually in the way of stamps,
books and money, he bought one of the
Ore prsof safes with a patent combination
lock on It. The lock was a" Yale and
could he set on great many thousand
different eombiaations. There was q

TO set the look and change it. Tuesday

nothing about it until night, and then he
could probably experiment en- it and get

had an account Of long standing, and

was no use. There was the safe just as
ii was, and so he had 10 tell him to call
again. As he hadn't got his books fixed
up. During the day nearly every doubt

The clty Debt.

The Finance Committee have reported the en-
tlpe dsbt 81 thd city tt0l ~ 85ss. .s126a THIS Il
not very far shOEt &C what lt was stated TO lie by
a correspondent OF Me .CAEKTrns some weeks
ago, whichwas denied by other writers.
Mr. Feblgsr, it will be seen from the reports,
denied lhat he stqement presented by the com
miltec was correct Mr.. Pickels replied that 1t
was. Mr. Finegan, the Democratic member OF
the committee, also assured the Council that II
was correct and We presume lt ls the apparent
want of credit for the amount Of sinking fund,
is explained in this way. The Sinking Fund
Commissioners 10 whom 1000 are annually paid
have bought $C6,OOO Of the city bonds. These
bonds draw Interest to the sinking fund as though
they had never been paid, aud the interest is ap-
piled to the purchase of other city bonds when
ever Ghey can be had. So that although the debt
is being gradually reduced the taxation fnOt les
sened until the whole Is paid OF.
There Is no doubt that the Sinking Fund
would pay the city debt Off as ID il Oflen asserted
by those who arc called on to defend the system
of borrowing. We have heard 1t asserted so re-
peatedly for the last twenty years that It has be-
come stale story In the face of the operation
of the sinking fund the funded debt of The city
has increased from about 500, 900 to Its present
enormous amount, ST27, ,s72 So; and in less than
two yean at the present rate will greatly exceed
a million dollars.
In the face Of this fact it behooyes every good
citizen to insist upon economy on the part of our
City Council There is no politics in this mat
ter. Irn ne duty Of every citizen and property
holder t. look 10 the increase or the city debt as

A WeHsan's Write.

Some editor who has been yictimized
writes as follows:
"We shall never engage another wo.
man to report gentlemeIfs fashions for
this paper. We might have known she
would ignominiously fail but she said
gentlemen reported ladies' fashions, aud
she couldn't see why woman shouldn't
write up the masculine modes, We
couldn't see either, so we gave her a
carte blanche to go ahead. Aud such
fashion article! Here is specimen
of the ridiculous stuff: A recherche
spring overcoat for promenade has pref.
ty ribbed stripes, with three rufflss on
the tails, festooned with tassels, single
breasted collar and rolling flaps on the
pannier. A lovely dress coat has three
buttons and pockets in the rear, box
pleated on the hips, three ply gu;pure
lace on the narrative, gored in bunch
and cut boufraut. Vests button up in
front, some as last year, and have pock
cts, with imperial polonaise up the back,
and oxydized buttons in d ouble rows OH
the collar, with tab front. The shirt is
cut tight at the knee. and open fro Mt
or behind, as may be preferred, with
percale bosom, trimmed passementcrie:
four rows Of Magenta braid around the
skirt, with hood at back, bound with
galloon to match. Much depends on
the pantaloons. A gcntleman's dress is
very incomplete without srousers These

But that is eHa<;h. Anyone but n
Sandwich Islander will see at a glance
that these fashiona are frishtfully mix

We are asked how are We in favor. Of

the tax falls on the poor men, the large
majority of whom are Republicans, we
sh ould advocate "heavy and heavier"
taxation for any purpose, because, from
our doctrine, it follows, as matter Of
course, that the heusier you lay the Ia
