We present iu full In this issue the
annual report Of the Mayor. IL is q
good statement and one for taxpayers
TO read and ponder.
The finances of the city are 10 excel
lent condition. One year ago the city
was staggering under an Indebtedness
of $24,641. There was no money in the
Treasury. The paper issued was at q
discount of 90 per cent snd over. 10
che way Of interest S2273 were paid.
There was talk even of Reputation
among those not over scrupulous on
questions Of honor and honesty. on &C
count of the debt exceeding the limit
fixed by law. As compared with this
year, the assessment roll was smaller.
the people were poorer and fewer, aud
O feeling was manifest not so good as
that now pervading the community.
What is the situation at present. The
Mayor reports the municipal indebted
ness sl5. 975 on the Both Of June. 1881
Here Is o reduction at once OF 1866.
He also reports the interest burden
sl053, or less by 1920 than the year
before. Properly enough. he says
nothing whatever about increase popu
lation aud wealth. nor specula.ts in
any manner as the future. This at left
for the reader and citizens. We fancy
that common idea will be that should
no unforeseen accident occur. every
dollar of tho present debt can be wiped
ont during the next year as easily -
eleven thousand (of principal and in
terest) dollars were paid during the
past year.
The showing made by the Mayor fol
the city 10 gratifying. We commend \
TO bis successor and TO the incoming
Common Council. II will not be ou'
of place also TO refer the County Com
missioners TO 1t, for, during the pas
year. the county has increased its in
debtedness quite as rapidly Is that Of
the city has been diminished.

The Keyiess mechanism to a watch Is one OF The great mod
ern improvements in watch work, it does away with the old
fashioned key, with which so many persons have ruined their
watches. The watch is wound by turning a hurled knob
placed on the handle or bow. instead of by the ordinary
means; the hands are set in the same way. The advantages
Of these improvements are obvious, the case, which never need
be opened in winding, is made air-tight and dust-tight, thus
preserving much longer the fnidity OF the oil, and greatly pro-
longing the intervals between the necessary cleaning OF the

WAS LINCOLN WARNED "A strange dream was
that which Pres. Lincoln had the night before he
was shot. If the story was truly told by Mr..
Stanton to Dickens, the case is one of the most
curious on record. Dickens told it thus in a let
ter to John Foster &" On the afternoon of the
day on which the President was shot, there was
a Cabinet Council, at which he presided. Mr..
Stanton, being at the time Commander-in-Chief
of the Northern troops that were concentrated
about here, arrived rather late. Indeed, they
were waiting for him, and on his entering the
room the President broke off in something he
was saying, and remarked Let US proceed to
business, gentlemen Mr.. Stanton then noticed
with surprise that the President sat with an air
of dignity in his chair, instead of lolling about in
the most ungainly attitudes, as his invariable
custom was; and that instead of telling irrelevant
and questionable stories, he was grave and calm,
and quite a different man. Mr.. Stanton, on leav-
ing the Council with the Attorney General, said
to him That is the most satisfactory Cabinet
meeting L have attended for many a long day.
What an extraordinary change in Mr.. Lincoln -
The Acknowledgement replied We all saw it
before you came in. While we were waiting for
you, he said, with his chin down ON his breast,
: Gentlemen, something very extraordinary is
going to happen, and that very soon.'' To
which the Acknowledgement had observed !:

President answered very gravely: 81 don't

BANK TAXATION.
C. w. Moulton, of Cincinnati, to-day tiled
before Internal Revenue Commissioner Raum,
an elaborate brief holding that banks other
than national banks, usually termed private
banks, are not subject to tax on called bonds.
Raum has informally decided this question IN
favor of the banks, but it is learned at the
treasury department that investigation into
the liabilities of private banks in the matter
taxation, is still going on in large cities and
that discoveries were continually being made
which increase the amounts they owe the
government as taxes. Notwithstanding the
fact that their banks are given the benefit OF
every doubt and that assessments by revenue
agents are not maintained, unless laws plainly
support them. The aggregate amount found
to be due the government, from banks, now
foots up to over $4,000, 900.

BRING UP YOUR HORSES.
st. Paul Joins Minneapolis and Hastings
In Trotting Circuit.

st. Paul Joins Minneapolis and Hastings
in Trotting Circuit.
Yesterday morning j. O. Oswald and D. Z.
Woodrlansee, representing the Gentlemen's
Driving association, visited St. Paul for the
purpose Of comforting with the lovers of turf
sports of the city with reference to
meeting with Minneapolis and Has
ings In trottlng circuit. st. Paul
was found in good humor for such move
ment, and in very short time the signatures
of some twelve of our leading business men
and prominent citizens had been secured,
guaran teeing the purses to be hing up, and
their influence to make the meeting success.
It is proposed to have two days of races at
each place, with classes especially arranged
for home horses, with a special attraction
which will bring out some of the
very fast ones, with purses aggregating from
81, 100 10 1,500. From the fact that the leg
islature is to meet in extra session Tuesday,
and that large number of people from the
interior of the State will be in St. Paul as in
teresteo on-loOkers and workers, it is probable
the first meeting will be held here Thursday
and Friday of next week. This and other de-
tails will, however, be finally
decided by representations of the three
points named at the Merchants at 2:30 this
afternoon, at which time the order of meet
ings, the classes, and amount OF purses will be
arranged.
The races here will be given upon the Kilt
sondale track, kindly rendered by Commodore
KittsOn for the purpose
