WHEN he WELL TAKE HOLD.
Yesterday noon, Us TRIBUNE reporter was
watching the antics Of the bulls and bears on
tile Board Of Trade, he spied City Treasurer
elect Brigg, and, thinking he might be able to
throw some light on municipal finances, tie
knight Of the pencil proposed an interview.
tsGood day, Mr.. Treasurer, when do you pro-
pose to assume the responsibilities Of your
Officer"
AZ presume the Council will approve my bond
Monday night, and will commence work some
time during the week."
"uow will you act should any warrant be
drawn upon you By Mr.. Hayes, rs Comptroller,
while the Council refuses to recognize him, aud
only recognizes Mr. Dcrickson!"
.sIt Is an unfortunate muddle, and ] wish 1t
we're settled. 1t is not right for the Council to
throw any additional responsibility on the
Treasurer"
aThen presume you will decline to assume
the responsibility Of paying any warrants drawn
by Mr. Hayes."
SOME GUARANTEE WANTED.
~ shall insist on having some guarantee be-
fore do anything OF the kind-cfther by direct
opinion Of the City Attorney or Corporation
Counsel. l do not propose to put myself in a
position where trouble may ensuc.r
~ suppose you knox that the City Treasurer
is paying the Fire anu FOlice departments To-
day on warrants drawn by Mr.. Hayes and coun-
tersirued by Mr.. Colyin!>'
ayes, aud II any one were mean enough to
do so, it would be possible for him to put Dan
O'Harn on the defensive"
Get out writ Of quo warranto to show By
what authority he paid the money. By the way,
there is not much wealth in the Treasury now,
and the prospects are that there will not be
great deal for some time to conc"
NO BORROWING.
"Tes, that's what I am afraid Of, and, no
doubt, attempts may be made as heretofore, to
borrow from one fund to pay debts owed By an
other. That is all wrong. For instance, the
receipts from the water rents are to be set aside
especially for the payment Of the interest on the
water bonds and the maintainence OF q sinking
fund for their redemption. This is an express
agreement between the city and the bond
holders"
swell, what do you propose to do with the
several fundss"
81 shall keep each one separate and inviolate-
It is wrong to take from one to pay another. II
there be not enough to the credit of any fund
to pay its liabilities on demand, it will hare to
20 to protest like private individuals
Mr.. Briggs again remarked that he did not
propose to be drawn into any complications
over the COMPREHENSIVE muddlc, and the in
teTTiewer took his departure.

The Hon. Wm. A. Wheeler, the Cincin-
natl nominee for Vice President, represents
the Nineteenth district of New York in the
present congress, lie has had large and
varied experience in public life. He has
been Il member of both branches of the leg
isature of New York and for two sessions
presiding officer Of the State senate. In 1867
and 1868 he was president Of the New 9orl;
constitutional convention. He was Il mem
of the Thirty yseyenth, Forty-iirst, Forty
second and Forty-third congresses, and is
now serving his fifth term. In the last con-
gress he took leading part in eilecting the
Louisiana compromise for which he OBJ
tanned great credit with the people of the
south. The Cincinnati ticket would have
had much more strength and symmetry witt

EpIsCOPAL CONVENTION.

This body met at Bethlehem in the Church
Of the Nativity, on Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday, of last week. Most of the Parishes
in the Diocese were represented. Bethlehem is
beautiful town of about 5000 inhabitants.
The streets are wide AID well paved. The
walks are lined with shade trees and everything
indicates that it is live business place. The
Sun Hotel, kept by c, T. Smith, is one of the
best houses in the State. The landlord and his
estimable lady understand their business, and do
everything in their power to make 1t pleasant
for their guests, There was nothing OF very
great importance before the Convention, outside
of the routine of business, except the report OF
the committee ON Canons. Two canons, one
providing for the constitution OF cathedral
chapter at Reading, and the other for the or
ganization of convocation districts of the Dio-
oese were reported. The first was referred back
to the committee, after a lengthy discussion and
the second adopted with some notifications

LUMBIAN missed all the Thursday mails, and it

Of the proprietor and employees Of the Republic

WHICH SHALL | TAKE.

This is often serious question with the
invalid. lie finds the market flooded with
proprietary medicines, scores of which are
recommended as certain cures for lis pecul
lar ailment. He reads the papers, circulars
aud almanacs, and finds each sustained by
plausible arguments setting forth its virtues
and specific action. The recommendations
are as strong for one rs for another. The
cures claimed TO have been wrought by one
are as wonderful as those claimed to have
been wrought by another. In his perplexi-
ty and doubt, the sufferer is sometimes led
to reject all. But it should be borne in
mind that this condition of things is one that
cannot be remedied In a land where al are
free, the good-the truly valuable-must
come into competition with the vile and
worthless, and must be brought to public no.
tce by the same instrumentality, which is
advertising In such case, perhaps the
only absolute proof that a remedy is what it
claims to sbe, is to try it. The test of a
pu ding is the eating of it." "Prove all
things, hold fast that which is good" is the
apostolic injunction. There may, however,
be stronger presumptive evidence in favor
of one remedy than there is iniavor of an
other, and this should be allowed its due
weight, A due regard to this may save
