Financial Debate Ira the Reichstag
..1he Monetary Question.

BERLIN, Nov. 30.-The Reichstag to-day
commenced the debate on the budget. Herr
.Jacoby, secretary of state for the imperial
treasury. in the course of long statement
concerning the estimates, contended that in
view of the opposition to taxa
ton bills recently submitted
the government had no other
way to meet the expenditures than by in
creasihg the marticular contributions of the
states forming the empire. Referring to the
currency he said the treasury had disposed
of quantity of bar silver to the Egyptian
government, Egyptian coin being made at
the Berlin mint without prejudice
to the attitude of the German gov
eminent on the. currency question.
Both silver bars and thaler
pieces have been supplied at the request of
Egypt. Herr Rickert. Progressist attacked
the government for its tendency to swell
instead of to decrease the outlay. The
United States government, he said, had re-
duced its debt half, and this was factor
to be considered with regard to American
competition in the markets of the world.
Europe would soon see what the result
would be if the debts of its various states
continued in such unnatural proportions
compared with the United States. Minis
ter Won Scholtz replying on behalf of the
government. said any man who asserted
that Germany was unable to afford the
money required TO ensure her safety
STATED AN UNTRUTH.
Herr Van Benda regretted that the gov
eminent had not brought forward fresh
proposals to tax readily taxable articles.
such as brandy. He felt sure Germany
would not be backward in making any sac
rifices that might be necessary for her secu-
rity. The police statistics ON the opera
ton of the anti-socialist law
from May to August show that
out of $50 requests to sanction
meetings, 124 were rejected, and that ten
professed socialists were expelled from
Berlin making a total of 172 expulsions
since the passing of the law in 1878. Ger

A Maine Bank Discount Clerk Steals
$4,000.

PORTLAND, Me-, Nov. 3O.-The directors
of the Canal National bank authorize the
statement that Howard Blackstone. dis
count clerk. has embezzled funds OF the
bank to the amount of S25. 600 and alb
seconded 1t appears that on Wednesday
last Blackstone obtained a vacation
from the bank and proceeded to New York.
From there he sent letter to his wife,
dated Nov. %, so it must have been writ
ten before he left Portland. and he must
have premedtated the step for some time,
feeling his guilt could no longer be
hidden The letter stated that a
sad misfortune had come upon
them. but they must bear it as others had
before them. He was a defaulter and
exile He had begun specializing in 1881
and for time was very successful. Then
the tide turned and he lost heavily and con-
tinuously. To retrieve his losses he took
the banks money until his stealings
aggregated $50, 900. when he deemed it
useless to go further and decided to alb
scOnd. In his letter he inclOsed deed OF
the house and land he owned in Deering.
and occupied by his family. He requested
his wife 10 turn this deed over to the bank
and inform the officers of his crime. tie
made no mention of the method he
pursued in stealing the money, and
as only small sums ever passed
through his hands during the
course of business the directors are unable
to determine how he could secure so much.
He, for brief period, acted as cashier and
paying teller. and had charge of the ledger.
The value of the house decided to the bank
is about Sc. 600. Blackstone was a general
favorite at the bank. He is 80 years old.

rTTV ROARDS,

One of the most interesting questions thaI
has vet been discussed by the legislative
committee of the chamber of commerce, ana
one that is of vital importance to the
neonIe of this city. is the subject of city
boards which was discussed at the Monday
night meeting The position taken by some
of the speakers was that the city has 100
many boards and that some OF them are 100
cumbersome for effective service; that with
the board of education, the board OF fire
commissioners, the water board. the boald
of control, the board of county commits
siOners. the work house commissioners and
the various organizations having control OF
the various departments of local govern
ment. there was an immense amount OF
money being expended, and in some i'll
stances without very much to show for the
expenditure. Without regard to what has
been done or what has been left undone in
these various departments, or what amount
of economy on the one hand or eXtraVa-
gance on the other has been practiced, it Is
undepiable that there is general feeling
that an element of responsibility should
enter more into our system of local govern
ment than exists at present. There is also
prevailing opinion that the necessity does
not exist for so many different boards.
There should be chief of each department
and all of them should be made responsible
TO one supreme head That is the business
like system that prevails in all successful
governments 1t is the system we intro
duce in our private business affairs. 1t is
the system adopted by the general govern
ment and by all the state governments
There is no reason why it should not pre-
vail in our nun 'cipal government. The
MAYOR of city is its chief executive officer.
He should be made so in fact and not in
name only. If he is to be held responsible
by the public for the character OF his ad-
ministrati0n, it is only justice that he
should be clothed with power to regulate
his administration. But when departments
are created and placed under the govern
ment of boards entirely independent OF his
authority. and without being responsible
to anybody in particular, it leaves the
chief magistrate without resource to as
sure efficient government under his
administration. The principle Of cen
Trailing power in a chief executive officer
has a more appropriate application to mu-
nicipal government than to any other form,
because it is more essential to secure eff
cient public service. The fewer boards
that are created. and the more power that
can safely be entrusted to the mavor usu-
ally secures to city the most economical
government and the best service. Such
has been the experience in the older cities
of the East. and we are likely to find in the
end that such will be our own experience
1t is proper subject, at any rate. for pub
lie discussion, for the more we talk about
it and think over it the more certain are We
tC arrive at correct conclusions.

HE CONDEMN ANARCHISTS.
They Find Friends in the Cook
County knights of Labor.

CHICAGO, Nov. 30.-A joint meeting of
the Knights of Labor District Assemblies
"a and AZ, which have membership
Of about 10000, and include
all the Knights in this city
and county was held tonight to take action
concerning the trial and sentence of con-
demned anarchists. District Assembly "a
recently passed resolutions OIL the subject,
and asked No. AZ to indorse them. The
latter body decided that the sub
ject was of such importance that
Joint session of both assemblies should be
held at which all the Knights of Labor OF
Cook county should be represented. About
400 Knights were present and the following
declaration of their attitude on the verdict
was agreed to, with only few dissenting
voices:
We believe the verdict in the recent trial
condemning seven men 10 death and SEN
fencing one to fifteen years imprisonment,
was an outrage upon common justice and an
assault on free speech and the rights or the
people to peaceaby assemble for the discus
sion of their grievances. We believe that there
is an ever increasing sentiment among the
common people of this country that our
courts of justice are too frequently manlpu-
lated in the interest of wealth and power, and
that rights are frequently outraged In our
courts in the name of the law. Believing
that the late trial was conducted by the prose-
cution with malice and prejudice, utilizing
as II did n ormers, the disreputable Pinker-
tons and perjured Gilmers and bailif, who
declared that he would not summon any one
as juror who, in his opinion, was not in
favor of hanging. We therefore
express the hope that the supreme
court of the state of Illinois
NAV grant a new trial so that the ever grow
ing conviction among the common people,
namely, that the courts of law are only in the
interest of the rich, may not find additional
proof in this instance.

ST.. LOUIS. Nov. 30.-Meyerbeer's
''Hugueuots" was presented for the first
time by the American Opera company to-
night, and great success was achieved.
The opera makes heavy demands on conf
pany in long cast, and calls for great
resources in the ensembles, but the Amer
lean company was mere than equal to the
occasion. The scenery and costumes were
entirely new and superb. The ballet made
a distinct hit and the orchestra and chorus
did splendid work. Bertha Pierson. who
was substituted for Nine. Fursch- Madi,
and who was heard here for the first time.
made great success as Valentine. and
Pauline LaLemand produced furOre by
her brilliant singing as the queen. All
the other leading parts were unusually
well taken, and the audience was large and
very enthusiastic. The management of
the American Opera company furnishes
the following card to the public in reply to
the action of the Evangelical alliance touch
ing the ballet mention of which was made
in these dispatches last night:
The grace and beauty of the ballet have al

Liful stage pictures are perhaps the nearest
possible approach to heavenly scenes. To

the management of the National
Opera company desires to do all
possible within the domain of artistic and
historical reason to meet the religious feeling
of the country. 1t respectfully submitted,
however, that to condemn without seeing is
neither Christian like nor reasonable, and
that the action of section of the clergy of
St. Louis can scarcely commend itself to a
fair minded people.

backed out at the last moment and refused
to go to the battle ground. The man had
been in active and close training for the en-
counter for several weeks, and the interest
taken in the event was widespread and in
tense. The amount of money up in wagers
was large. Last evening. all the prelim-
naries having been satisfactorily arranged,
a train load of prominent sporting men and
aristocrats went to Paris to witness the bat
tie. The only reason Knifton gave for his
conduct was that he found the number of
Smiths adherents who would attend the
fight was so much greater than the number
of his own friends would be present that he
feared he would be unable to attain fair
play, and so concluded to abandon con
test which he felt convinced would be hope
less tor him under the circumstances.

The ordinance is absurd. When the owners
