Som ebody Culpable.

The condition in which the city accounts are
found proves that there is btoss negligence or
great incapacity somcwele.
There was at least ono committee, if not two
appointed by the City Council 10 cxamuc the
accounts of Mr.. Kilgore, and they doubtless re-
ported his accounts correct in January last, pre-
vious TO the present CITY Treasurer taking the
office. In addition the City Auditor had no doubt
also audited Mr.. k'lgore'a accorats and he too
reported thSm correct. II these several official
Iarlies. including the Chairman of the City FL
nance Committee had all discharged their ywolh
duties 10 the city properly, how Is II that Mr. ILL.,
gore is now discovered to be 81 ooJ to 900 short
IN his accounts?
The securities Of Mr.. klilSole, who are not in
oihcial position, have great cause to denur at
tue position they now ind themselves N; and
the city viii find it dllilcu TO Fct mon 10 become
security for their Officers, ii this is 10 be the poll
cy the CITY Couucl is to pursue in future. There
Is little use in paying an Auditor and appointing
committees if this is the quality OF luen We have
TO discharge the duties la fact We had better
had none.
Perhaps Mr.. kll,ore would not have leen
short at all at the end of his term these parties
had no. reported his accounts correct
We do not wish to say one word Mr. Kill

ought 10 try TO give even the devil hi due,

the deficiency is entirely owing to the discussion
MIR. Hayes raised N Conncil many month ago
over the ameuut of the existing city debt which
that gentleman undertook 10 prove was much
larger Than the Republican members OF the Coun-
cil were wiling to admit. This discussion led
Mr.. Adams TO move that al e4p7t be employ

agreed 10 and Mr Pickles moved an amendment
that the erpert be required to 20 back as tar as
1896 and bring up the whole OF the accounts. MIR.

STORY OF MRS. SIDDONS,

Nv hen | was a poor girl, "relates
Mrs. Siddons, the actress, working
very hard for my thirty shillings

kindly received. I was to perform a
new piece something like those pretty
little affecting dramas they get up
now at the minor theatres f.; and in
my character [ represented poor
friendless orphan girl reduced to the
most wletched poverty. A heartless
tradesman prosocutes the sad heroine
for a heavy debt, and insists on
putting her in prison unless some
one will be bail for her. The girl.

.ner: Ito forgive as he forgave, to trust
as he trusted.
We did think, after all these eu-
logies,in some Of which his old friends
handled his faults and frailties rath-
er freely, though with black gloves
we did hope that the great Sena-
tor would be left 70 repose, the deep
sweet repose he had longed for and
SO richly deserved; but yesterday, as.
you saw. in the debate, or long ram
bling talk, about the vetoed Curren-
cy bill, his name was brought up and
tossed Familiarity from lip to lip-his
memory during the most unhappy
period Of his Senatorial life dragged
from out the solemn shadows Of the
grave, to take part in the unfortunate
partisan strife. And yet it was not
all unfortunate, for il gave Mr.. Cam
eloh a chance to defend himself
against the shamefully unjust charge
of s'robbing Mr.. Sumner of his place
on the Committee on Foreign ReIa-
tious.'' And he did defend himsel
manfully. with convincing force and
feeling, and yet with admirable taste
RETAINED from the slightest reflection
on the dead Senator. His simple
account Of his last interview with
Mr.. Sumner was better than a
eulogy, more touching and humanity
tender. He said: $50 far from
feeling any unklndness to me, he was
the last person [ spoke to or the day
before he died., when [ was going
home to my sick family. I went to
him and asked him TO pair with me,
and he said, Yes, Cameron, l do it
gladly and we shook hands. He
sud to me, God bless you,' and I
said to him, God bless you" Y
He also stated that he had more
than once defended Mr.. Sumner in
the Senate, and that one time when
he was assailed in executive session
Mr.. Sumner defended him, and ad-
ded; 81 hope that as long as | live
[ shall do no wrong to any man who
ever defended me when [ was not
present TO defend myself
These last words reveal the secret
of Mr.. Cameron's power, the talisnan
Of his wonderful success in political
life-a memory singularly tenacious
of a ''gocd turn" like this, of any act
of good faith and good fellowship,
though emanating from rival or an
opponent. He never forgats kind
word or deed, from the highest to the
humblest.
This occasion in the Senate also
gave Mr.. Anthony an opportunity
to declare, in the most explicit man
ner, that Mr.. Sumner was not dis
placed from the head of the Commit
the on L Foreign Relations on account
of his course on the San Domingo
treaty-or rather, that was not
the reason he was pot reappointed
to his old position.
Surely this settles the question :;
for Henry B. Anthony cannot lie.
