An Intelligent Financial POifc v

The bill prepared by Comptroller Kelly
to provide for the payment of the city debt
is the first sound and practical financial
legislation that has been proposed by the
city Finance Department for years. 1t puts
stop to the pernicious system of renewal
and ''bridging over" to which we have been
subjected ever since the explosion of the
old Municipal Ring. We have now a
gross funded debt, in round numbers,
of one hundred and twenty-one millions !;
twenty-one millions payable from the sink
ing fund and one hundred millions payable
from taxation. There is in the sinking
fund enough to pay the twenty-one
millions and eleven millions over or
course the first amount must be held
sacred for the redemption of the bonds
specially payable from and secured by
the fund. Mr.. Kelly's bill proposes
to continue the sinking fund and
pledge it to the payment Of the
entire debt of one hundred millions now
payable from taxation, as well as of the
improvements now outstanding or which
may have been confirmed or commenced
before the passage of the act. For this
purpose there will be the surplus of eleven
millions already in the sinking fund the
future accumulations, now made larger than
they formerly were through the in
creasing Of the city revenues appro-
priated to the fund, and tho amounts
of assessments collected or to be
collected for local improvements made,
confirmed or commenced prior to the pas
sage of the act--all of which are to 90 into
instead of issuing new ones in their place
and thus extending our paper, as it were,
or 'bridging over" which has been such u
favorite policy in the past, they are
to be paid by the collection OF not
more than one million from direct
taxation in any one year, and the
balance from the sinking fund. Thus the
entire amount Of the present funded and
temporary debt is provided for without the
reissue Of single bond. In future, when
ever new debt is incurred provision is to be
made simultaneously with the issuing of
the bonds for their redemption in given
time by the imposition of an annual tax
sufficient for the purpose, and which is to
form separate sinking fund for that
special object.
We cannot too strongly commend this
proposed law, the provisions of which are
in accord with the policy long urged on
Mr.. Kelly's predecessor by the HERALD 1t
would bring us at once to healthful fnan-
cial condition. The old debt account

The Dend King.

Victor Emmanuels death seems to have
profoundly affected the mind of all Italy,
and this is tribute of esteem and admira-
tion that is strictly personal, for there prob
ably never was an occasion wheh the death
Of reigning sovereign was SO entirely sep
arabic from any perturbation Of the
government machinery. In the enthusias-
tic reception of the Prince who ascends the
throne is to be seen an evidence that the
pleasant memory in which the dead King is
held is not treasured in any apprehension of
the reign of his successor, but is simply and
honestly an expression of the sympathy of
the nation with the qualities so conspic-
uously exhibited in the lie of the
man who now lies in state in the OUR
inal. These evidences of her regard
for the dead sovereign are creditable to
Italy for Victor Emmanuel was the best
type of a constitutional king that has been
seen in Europe He never fancied that he
had his hand on ratchet that controlled
the movements of the world but he watched
events to take advantage of them for the
good of the nation whose government he
administered. That people comprehends
and admires n sovereign of this quality is
an evidence Of the wisdom Of their percep-

Financial Embnrrassments.

The business failures that have recently
occurred have naturally given rise to an at
tempt to create panic in commercial and
financial circles on the part of those who
are always on the alert for an opportunity
to depreciate values and undermine conf
dence for the sake of profiting by the ex-
citement. There does not, however, appear
to be anything in their character to occasion
any alarm. No substantial, we'll established
houses seem to be in any difficulty or
danger. We are not now in such position
as we occupied in 1878, the tendency for
the past four or five years having been tow
ard contraction and economy. The credit
of the country will be benefited in the
long run by the exposure and explosion of
practices which have taken the appearance
Of legitimate business, but which are
as nearly allied to downright swindling
as anything can we'll be. The more
thoroughly unsound, inflated concerns
which court public confidence under
the gnise of honest dealing can be
weedcd out of commercial community
the less danger there will be Of financial
panics. Some individuals may suffer in the
process of purifcation, but the victims will
be mainly found among those whose
standing is not of the safest or the best.
1t is q healthy sign that in the heavy
stock sale made yesterday good prices
were realized for desirable securities. The
fact is that we have got rid in great meas
ure Of the evil of overtrading and wild spec
ulation, and the shock OF few failures,
however embarrassing to some individuals
and houses, is not likely to be felt in q
serious manner throughout commercial and
financial circles.

THE WEATlIEI.--Thc storm centre which
moved along the Atlantic coast with such de-
structivc effect has now passed over Ncwiourd-
land in northeasterly direction. Owing to the
absence of any high areas contiguous to the de-
preston the energy OF the storm has diminished,
but it would DC II grave mistake to sup
pose that it Is in process Of dissipation.
Northwest has moved to the northward
OF the upper lakes and is probably held
back by the resistance OF the high area that
now extends over the region southeast of IIud-
sons Bay and over the Labrador coast. II is
followed from the westward by rising barometer
and falling temperature. The depression that
moved over Texas is now central in the Lower
Mississippi Valley, near Vicksbuig, and is
making moderate progress after that which has
recently passed over us. il is separated from
TINT storm by an area of moderately high baron-
etcr which extends southeastward from tho
lakes over the Middle and the northern part of
the South Atlantic States. The Texas or south
western depression extends from the Gulf to the
lower Missouri Valley, and is attended by heavy
rains on it's southern margin and followed by
rising press,irc. The indications for the North
Atlantic during the coming week are exceed
;nulv unfayorsble. The weather in New York
ond its vicinity to-day will be warmer and fair,
sollowed by increasing clondincss. Tomorrow
t,,o conditions will be more threatening, with

would be closed, rs it were, and the neces-
sity of providing for the payment new
obligations by regular annual taxation
would make us cautious about our
expenditures. We have already turned
the point of increasing debt and are
able to show this year gratifying reduc-
ton. If the Comptroller's bill should be-
come law we shall see our debt decrease
year by year, and the necessity of meeting
our outstanding bonds Us they fall due in
some proportion by taxation and OF impos-
ing yearly tax to form a fund for the re-
demption of any future bonds we may
issue will have the effect to make us more
economical in our annual governmental ex-
penditures as we'll as more cautious in in
curing new debt.

Pulpit Topics To-Day.

The discussion about the future life and
punishment does not seem to wane at all.
Not less than score OF pastors or public
speakers have announced this theme in one
or another aspect of it, for consideration to-
day, notwithstanding other scores have
gone over the field during the last few
Snbbaths. Mr.. Talmage will lead off
with contemplation of the mythical as
pect of the subject, and then will
prove it to be q tremendous fact in Gods
universe. Mr.. Sweetser will bring it in in
his presentation of the Universalist creed.
Mr.. Macarthur will inquire into the nature
of future punishment, to redeem from
which the Saviour was pierced. Mr..

direction of the two companies now engaged
in erecting rapid transit roads in New York
are fair enough, SO far as they go but we
would wish to have them more explicit,
particularly on such important points
as night accommodation trains and the
comfortable seating arrangements of the
cars. Every doubt can, and we believe
will, be dissipated by the honest manage
ment of rapid transit, the full practical
recognition of the peoples rights and of the
companies obligations to community
which has clothed them with so many priv
ileges and which promises such handsome
reward to enterprise.

NEWARK ITblIS'

We have had another robbery since my last
communication this time, Mr.. Will Griffith
was the sufferer.
Messrs. McCollin & Reynolds from the Penn
sylvania Institution for the Blind gavean enter
tainment on Friday of last week, at the college,
It was well attended and very interesting.
New Castle must be jolly place for whisky
and men capable of imbibing it. We had
three representatives of that city in town on
Tuesday. All came in the same wagon, and'
when they were we'll soaked, one of them
started home by himself, driving at good
pace, while the others went down the middle
Of the street in pursuit, yelling Stop that
horse" At last some one stopped the team,
and the foremost and less intoxicated runner
coming up climbed into the wagon and sad
aAin't you ashamed? Drove away and lett
your brother p' and bipl he struck him a
crack on the back Of his head. When the
third brother came up, they went at it indl-
scriminately, each striking the one nearest to
him. The last seen of them they were recon
ciled, and passing round their Doltles ~ !"
very affectionate manner.
Last week, call was issued for mass
meeting to be held, in the interest of a lyceum
and reading room, at the college on Saturday
evening. It seems that some of the speakers
thought it was held to organize town hall
company, and the result was curious mixture
Of town hall and lyceum with little reading
room for seasoning The mixture might DO
well for hash, but some people don'tlik hash,
because it is too suspicious. Another meeting
will be held at the NJ E. Church on Friday
evening, in behalf of the lyceum, and if any
body says town hall, it would be best to shoot
them down upon the spot.
