CITY BOARDS.

One of the most interesting questions that
has vet been discussed by the legislative
committee of the chamber of commerce, ana
one that is of vital Importance to the
neople 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 too
many boards and that some of them are too
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
sfoners. 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 III
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
uudeniabe 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 mum cipal government The
mayor of a 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 MS
administration. The principle of cen
Trailing power in chief executive officer
has more appropriate application to mu-
nicipal government than to any other form,
because it is more essential to secure effi-
cient public service. The fewer boards
that are created. and the more power that
can safely be entrusted to the MAYOR uSu-
ally secures to a 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 a 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
&c arrive at correct conclusions.

SLEEPING CAR FARES.

There is no reason why the Pullman
company should not reduce the fares charged
by it for the occupancy of its sleeping cars,
to more reasonable basis. With annual
earnings of nearly So, 900, 900. the yearly
payment of an per cent. dividend upon a
capital stock of SIG. 600, 900 and surplus
of SO. 600. 900, the company is certainly in
a position to make some concession to the
travelling public. The rate now charged of
50 for each nights lodging is eXOrbtant,
and entirely disprOpOrtionate to the service
rendered. With lesser rate the company
would still make fair profit, if indeed the
increase in patronage would not bring about
even larger profits than are now obtained,
and the tax imposed upon the traveller
would not be so onerOuS. The
matter is one in which legislative
interference can well be taken in the way of
bringing about more equitable schedule of
rates, and might well be brought before the
attention of the Minnesota legislature which
will assemble this winter. When sleeping
cars were a novelty and their patronage
limited it was necessary to exact high rates
IN order to make the service selt-suStainng.
Now that the cars are in general use, and
are patronized so literally as to bring in the
enormous profits Indicated, it is time the
rates should be SO adjusted as to better ac-
commodate the public without at the same
time doing the Pullman company an in
justice.

SAWYER Now SERENE.

Senator SAWYER. while it is to be sup
posed that he regrets the fatal illness of
Congressman PRICE, is feeling pretty Sc
rene over the clear track which the removal
of PRICE gives him in the Wisconsin Sena-
torial race. Senator SAWYER'S chances, in
view of the PRICE opposition, were, until
now. assuming a dubious aspect, while
under the present circumstances he regards
his reelection as fOregOne conclusion. 1t
will not do, however, for the amiable and
venerable millionaire senator to be too con-
tident 1t is the day of political combina-
tons in which the power of the minority
makes itself felt. and it is not at all unlikely
that there may be enough Democrats in the
Wisconsin legislature, who, by dickering
with the disaffected Republicans can dictate
the man who is to succeed SAWYER. 1t is
even within the bounds of possibility,
should the contest become acrimonious,
that a compromise may be effected upon a
Democrat. Postmaster General Villas is
we'll aware of the possibility and is keeping
a weather eye upon members of the legiS-
Iature in consequence. In Nebraska there
is a very strong probability that by a similar
combination Democrat will be returned,
and there is even a shadow of it in Mime
sofa. Taking it altogether, our Republican
friends will not hold on to their senatorial
prizes IN the Northwest without pretty
vigorous fight and there is every reason why
the Democrats should make the most of the
fighting chance. which certainly is theirs, to
name the men who will go to Washington.

the debts. There are no preferences. The

FROM GER VI ANY.
Financial Deba te I'm the * eichstag
al he 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
ereasing the martcular 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
ritices that might be necessary for her secu-
rity. The police statistics on the opera
ton of the antisocalist 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 explosions
since the passing of the law in 1878. Ger
mania says that the governments negotia-
tons with the Vatican continue increasingly;
that they have been especially active during
the last few days. and that it is reported
that a settlement on basis of a complete
entente will soon be reached. German,
Italian. French and Swiss delegates will
take part in the
CONVENTION OF SOCIALISTS
and anarchists to be held at Chaux de
Ponds, Switzerland. early in December.
Prince Krapotkine will preside. Ffty-four
members of the center will support in the
reichstag the bill for the suppression
of dueling, especially what is
known as American methods.

GOULD MISSED FIRE.

There is story afioat Illustrating JAY
GoULD's political methods. 1t will be re-
membered that when it was definitely as
certaned that CLEVELAND had carried
New York in 1884, JAY GOULD was among
the first to fire in cOngratulatOry telegram.
A we'll known Indiana politician now makes
public an ante-electiOn incident, which
demonstrates how little sincerity there was
in Mr. GoULD's congratulatiOn. About a
week previous to the election GOULD tele-
graphed to an active Republican manager
lnguiring what prospects BLAINE had for
carrying Indiana. and when he received a
reply that there was danger of defeat, he
Immediately OrHarded mis- check for $50. 900,
to be expended for the benefit of the Repub-
hcans. The check was promptly turned
over to the Republican state campaign CON-
mittee. The committee was wiser in its
day and generation than Mr.. GOULD. 1t
so happened that the committee had big
debt hanging over it just at that time, and.
thinking that bird in hand was worth two
in the bush. the amount Of Mr.. GOULD's
contribution was blowed in on the outstand-
ing indebtedness. The campaign debt was
liQuidated, but BLAINE lost Indiana, and
the members of the Indiana campaign COM
mittee smiled and smiled again when they
read GoULD'S telegram of cOngratulatiOn to
President CLEVELAND.
