to the part Of prudence to so frame tht

",,s,er Of discretion with tho Commits
'ione,s who will negotiate the loan, in
s,oaJ Of liking the rate arbitrarily at that
ma, cent, The ordinance should read, az
.eems to u,, "at rate not exceeding 3!
"a, cent" This might result in saving at
.ttbe half Of one per cent, il not more,
mlbe tax payers Of the city. Loans are
now being negotiated at per cent free Of
j,v tax We observe that the city ol
Chicago recently negotiated one at that
,,te and We further observe that the city
olsL Jnfeph, Mo-, is about to submit one
at the same rate
bond Of the City Of Wheeling at . per
cent, subject to city tax, is rather more
productive to the buyer than one at four
Usr cent Tree Of tax, because our city tax 10
a. least quite I'D apt to be under IS up to
one per cent.
The city has been very unfortunate in
tbe matter Of interest on her bonds. The
large loan Of ISL, bearing n per cent,
mnst continue to run at that rate until ex-
gshei as provided for in the ordinance,
inssmuCh as it cannot be refunded at less
rate. The same thing is true OF tho Capt.
tol loan, which in like manhGr~runs at u
per cent, and is not reIundable, The Gas
Works loan ran at per cent until paid
Off. The loan Of 1877 runs ut 6 per cent,
and no right Of even partial payment &C.
crnes until 1857, and only in annual In.
stsIlmenis after that date.
twill thus be seen that the city is pay
Ing what would be deemed at this time ex.
cessiye rates Of interest on her loans, and
isso bound up that she cannot avail her.
aelt Of the great change that has occurred
in the loan markets Of the country. This
Is very unfortunate indeed, and should
teach ua lesson in regard to the phrase
ologyoiour ordinances providing for loans
in the future, The Government expects
to negotiate three per cent bond at an
early day, and surely the city Of Wheeling
should be able to borrow money at 8 per
cent.

Cheap Lodgings in New York.

It is within ten years or so, writes 8 correspondent of the Buffalo Courier, that cheap lodging houses, as they exist now, have become known in New York. We had lodging houses twenty years ago, but they were of different sort. Although called "houses," they were, as rule, mere foul dens in dark base ments, where men and women lay to- gether on dirty floors, and even shelf for bed was special luxury. The health authorities broke up several of the places on the ground that they were likely to breed pestilence. The present lodging houses, though larger and bet ter kept, seem almost as dangerous in this respect. They sprang up after the panic of '73, when thousands of men were thrown out of work and the army of tramps began to grow. The more pretentious of these places are called dormitories, and it must be said that some are as clean as could be expected, considering the class of persons fre- quenting them. There are several of the better class on the Bowery, where upper parts of buildings are rented for the purpose. In some the regular charge for permission to sleep in a ''bunk," that is merely shelf, is ten cents. There is no bedding, and the lodger lies down in the ragged clothing in which he wanders about during the day. One who can afford to pay twenty five cents may get bed, but the num- Der able to do this is very small. Nine tenths of the lodgers along the Bowery pay from ten to fifteen cents night. There must be some thousands in New York who pass their nights in such places, besides the army of station-house lodgers, who, of course, pay nothing. The majority are tramps, who would not take hold of regular work at any price, but there is large number ot men among the frequenters of lodging houses who do work when they can finG anything to do, bvt can never get out ot the grasp of utter poverty.
