The minority report on city finances SUBJ
mittcd to the Boar1 of Aldermen at its last
meeting by Mr. Alger starts of with the
statement that 1--WE have considered the
suggestions made by the chairmen of Ger
tain overdrawn departments about stock on
hand, Offsets and transfers, and find nothing
in them to be considered in the treasurer's
report Of the finances of the city. No de-
partment has right to overdraw its account
or create any debt IN excess of its approprla-
ton. The departments should be guided by
their several appropriations, md when more
funds are required for special or unforeseen
purposes the same should be applied for to
the Board as the occasion presents itself"
The report then goes on to report the condi-
ton of the overdrawn departments in detail,
the figures being those of the treasurer,
which we have already published. In the
criminal and health departments the re-
ports finds that the original appropriations
were much too small. Finally the report
says that 'the transfers, credits and collections
to be made at the end of the year, when final
statements are rendered, will leave The city
accounts as a whole somewhat less overdrawn
than the present statement would seem to in
dictate and the collection of sewer assess
ments and the drblets of tax collections,
ETC., will all tend in the right direction"

"The Catholic asylum for orphans, opened

led to the establishment of another,
the Home for destitute children, which now
rivals the other, just as the Flether Hospital
called out the new rival hospital and asylum

hear even that your improved schools and
school buildings have called upon them to
improve theirs, that your better higher
schools called for st. Patrick's academy
and that that has proved altogether made
quatc for the applications made to it and
that 1t has been decided to build on more
ample grounds larger school.
"Let the rivalry OF good works and char-

grumblers without ideas of federation who
only for lack of power withhold their hand
from efforts to extermnate those OF beliefs

forgiveness.

We a not, as Christian men and
women, forget the duty of forgiveness.
1t was one Of the grand things in the
economy of God that He inserted in that
famous prayer for the daily use of His
children the sentence: "Forgive us our
trespasses as we forgive those who tres
pass against u.s." andyet how few there
are among us who really, sincerely cul-
tivate the forgiving spirit as they
ought. How few of us find it possible,
not to say easy, to forgive one who has
wronged us. 1t is one of the trying
things in our experience to forgive a
person who has deeply and Intentional
ly injured us, and yet it is a thing we
must do if we hope to win the verdict
Of the faithful. This is a virtue which
must be taught from the cradle by pa
rents, teachers, friends; that must be
taught by precept and example, by the
home, the pulpit and the press. Emer-
o gave a glorious tribute to a great
man when he said his heart wa as great
as the world, but there was no room in
it to hold the memory of a wrong. The
Pagan idea was that it was weakness to
forgive; but the language of civilization
as well as Of Christianity is that it is one
of the noblest traits of man to forgive.
Pope said that 'to err is human: to for
give, divine.' Longfellow said:
For it's sweet to stammer one letter
OF the Eternal's l~anguage;-on earth it's
called forgiveness"
.--GoZden Rule.
