Tne Treasurer's DefaIcatIons.

The Republican insists that MIR. killgore's de-
fciency occurred before the present City Auditor
was elected. We have never disputed that But
the City Auditor failed to perform his duty to the
city last January. He made no report to the
Council and thereby covered up the tact that a
defAlcation existed. Mr.. Pickles, recently in n
speech In Council, stated that the Auditor made no
report in January because he found that there
was a deficiency and this condition of affairs was
kept secret until Mr.. Killgore was reelected
Secretary and Treasurer Of the Board OF Educa-
ton. And be would have been Treasurer OF the
Board Of Education To-day had he presented his
bonds as soon as he was elected. During the
delay the deficiency was discovered and the
Board was compelled to ask him to resign
The City Auditors plain duty was 10 report the
deficiency promptly and publicly to the Council
when he discovered it. We arc not certain that
Mr. Killgore's securities can be held by the bontlA
The City Councils committee reported his ac-
counts correct and on the faith of that endorse
ment gentlemen entered as his securities. Those
on his first bonds hear talk Of testing the case.
While on the subject We may say that we were
in error in referring to Mr. Woolley few days
ago. He informs MS that he never was candi-
date for the nomination for City Treasurer, and
would not have taken tie office, although some OF
his friends may have connected his name with 1t.
He said also that he saw nothing in our article
beyond this to which hs could take exception,
and that the Republican was in error in charging
US with casting any reflection or i"sinuation as to
his want of capacity. So that this alluson arose
in the imagination of the editor of that stupid
sheet, who was no doubt too lazy to put on his
glasses and read the article be was commenting
upon.
Will the Republican please inform us why it
was that Mr.. killgore was allowed to act as City
Treasurer for several months between January
and July without furnishing security?

House HELP.-At no time within the past len
or ffteen years has competent house help been SO
difficult to procure in this city. Housekeepers
are annoyed and imposed upon in a shameful
manner by girls who represent themselves as
being good cooks and able to do every ything con-
nected with household duties who do everything
imperfectly and are incompetent to do anything
properly, notwithstanding they are paid wages
varying from % to $9 per week. Coed help ney-
er was more scarce than at present. Young wo-
men who sew In families are almost as difficult
TO secure as cooks and housegirls, notwithstand-
ing they receive from 75 cents 10 81 25 and sl.5o
per day, and meals The great cry for work does
not seem to affect the female portion of the pop
ulation, ii an unwillingness, or neglect to make
themselves competent and useful, is criterion.
A nice, tidy girl who will make herself generally
useful about house Is one of the things most
desired and appreciated Just at this time, il we
are correctly informed by several of the most ex.
perienced ladies who have felt the need Of such
assistance.

that would supply the city and our people be
furnished with gas at 81 per thousand feet, we
believe wise and economical step would be
taken that would be approved of by the great
