The BOND Question Again.

We see by an order offered BY Al
derman Thompson, at the meeting Of
the Council, Wednesday night,
the bond question has bobb-
ed up again. There is evident
" q snake in this effort to bond the
city for $50, 900 to pave the streets,
lanes and alleys and to pay the
city's debt when it has already bee n
announced in the reports that there
is more than enough money due the
city to pay off all its Indebtedness.
It is evident to our minds, and to 3
large majority Of its taxpayers that
Mr. Thompson, the colored alder
man from the third ward, is being
used as tool to commit his party
to q measure that the taxpayers are
opposed to. Why bond the city for
$50, 600 when We are told there is
money enough to pay of all it's in
debtedness Why this move on
the part OF our officials to increase
the burdens Of the tax payer when
the business interests of the city are
ct such an ED, and our real estate a
drug on the market at 90 per cent.
bslow its value /? Why burden the
taxpayer who is already over-taxed,
to pay the present debt Of the city
aud then make larger debt Al
derman Thompson does not repre-
sent the property-holders Of this
city. lie represents largely class
Of people that pay no taxes many
OF them are burden upon the COM
munity, aud do not contribute a
dollar towards the improvement Of
the city. We're the places they fill
in our Naval Academy aud the Ma
val Proving Grounds filed by Ger
mans, who are known to be an in
dustrious and saving people, every
one employed there would be the
owner Of his own house, and per-
haps the owner Of one or two other
houses. Such labor is benefit to
community instead Of burden.
We ask how many houses have these
colored laborers built in our city.
The larger the colored element 10 a
community, greater the burdens on

payer would revolt against. We
trust no such measure will be en-
tertained and that the better judg-
ment of the Council will prevail.
