1t is significant of the low rate at which
money is procurable in England on good
security that at a recent meeting of the
Birmingham Town Bouncil the Finance
Committee reported that arrangements
had been made for an advance to the

further loan of f5OO, coo 81 per cent. in.
t,rest, upon the security of the borough
rates, for the purchase of lands for the
purpose of the Improvement scheme
about to be effected in the town undei

THE CONTRACT SYSTEM.

We give the City Council credit for
the adoption of the contract system OF
cleaning the streets. 1t Is better late
than never. We have been advocating
this through the GAZETTE for at least
twenty years. Occasionally it was adopt
ed. Sometimes observed but always re-
suited in saving to the city. 1t originates
now on the Democratic C side of the Cham
ber, but the other side is all the more en-
titled to credit for adopting unanimously
the resolution that led to it. In all the
cities where it has b,en returned to the
bids show a difference of a third to half
in amount, and the highest much less
than the cost of the work when done by
the day has been. In the last three years
the cost averaged this city about $25,
The bids last night for the work number
ed twenty-four and the highest bid was
$l6,979 20, and the lowest S6, 800. These
bids will prove interesting to our city
readers, and we invite their attention to
them in another column. Wilmington
is doing better, We have now hope for
reform here in our midst and with it will
come reduction of taxation and an in
crease in the value of real estate, which
be will beneficial in inviting capitalists to
make our city home where investments
will be safe and likely to pay handsome
ly in the future.

SITTING BUl LIS RETREAT,
No legal Obligations on the Part of
Our GOVernm~nt to Bring aim
Back.

1t is ascertained at the State Depart
ment that no diplomatic represe ntations
have been made to our Government re-
garding the presence of Sitting Bull and
his band of Sioux Indians on British soil,
nor ale any diplomatic n gotiations on
this subject now pending between the
two countries Although it is believed
that these Indians have crossed the line.
and that they are not desirable neighbors
for the tck Feet tribe or any other
people, it does not yet appear that they
entered the British territory az BODY,
with hostile or depredating intentions.
On th9 contary, it seems that they have
presented themselves to the Black Feet
Indians in a desttutute condition, and
are begging for subsistence. In this state
of the case there does not seem to be
any legal obligation on the part of oul
Cow rnment to bring them back within
our own borders, as there is nothing in
the international law recognized by
Great Britain and the United States tC
prevent either voluntary expatriation OF
emigration, especially for begging pur
poses.
