The Telegraph would suggest To the
committee appoint to select y plae of
meeting that they confer with the city
fathers with a view of securing the public
library building as their place Of meeting.
The building was donated 10 the city by
that good and philanth, opic lady, the late
Mrs. l.. L. Mcclure. whose memory is
revered by every inhabitaut of this city,
with just such an object in view. The
building 10 already partially furnished with
with tables and chairs and contains n very
good library donated by Mrs. Mcclure and
DR.. John Calderwood which would conduce
to the pleasure and profit of tho Young
gentlemen composing the society. We feel
sure that the Honorable the Mayor and
City Council would not only grant the re-
quest but take pleasure i'll doing so and
thereby CONT huto to the success Of the
undertaking.

ALDERMAN KALTEYER is most
decidedly of the opinion that the
issue of the $3.50 900 bonds called for
by the vote recently taken in this
city would be violation of good faith
if not actually illegal. The special
election order for the vote upon which
the $3.50, 900 issue is predicated is as
follows:
Now, therefore, I, Bryan Gala
CHAN, mayor of the city of San AntO-
Mo, by virtue of the power conferred
on me by the charter and ordinances
0 the city, and in accordance with
section 40, of the amended city char
ter, adopted on the 4th day of March,
1885, do hereby order and direct that
an election be held on Saturday,
April Goth, 1889, for the above pur-
pose"
The election was to be in accordance
with section AZ of the charter of 1885,
and section 43 of the charter of 1885
says:
"All bonds shall specify for what
purpose they were issued, and they
shall not be invalid if sold for less
than their par value, and when any
bonds are issued by the city, a fund
shall be provided to pay the interest
and two per cent. per annum on the
principal as a sinking fund to redeem
the bonds"
There can be no question that when
this vote was taken it was taken I'M
der the belief and impression that
the levy for sinking fund should be
two per cent not ten per cent. How
far this, issue would be invalidated
by the change in the charter, the
LIGHT does not assume to say, or
that it would be invalidated at all.
but it does seem as though square
play would not bond the city and
compel a ten per cent tax for sinking
fund when only two per cent was pro-
posed at the time, without giving the
taxpayers a chance to be heard in the
matter. 1t is not probable that the
vote would be changed. The improve.
ments are needed and very greatly
needed, but can the council afford to
push this matter in the face of the op
position of certain of it's own members
and in the face of the charter amend
ments raising the levy for sinking
fund from two to ten per cent. II, a.
the city attorney says, no act of legis
Iature would alter the rate of levy fol
sinking fund after the bonds were
issued, how can act Of Legislature
changing charter raise the rate o.
sinking fund levy to ten per cent
when that levy was ordered under
the charter requiring a two per cent
sinking fund levy?

O'BRIEN is still testitying before
the Parnell commission, but as the
report of the commission will not be
made.until next February, the public
interest is abating. The general ver-
dict is given already. The intelli-
gence of the civilized world has con-
demned the Times, and from that
Judgment there is no appeal. The re-
port Of the commission will make no
difference. One of the most significant
utterances of O'Brien before the COM
mission was his assertion that it was
impossible to say what was legal and
what was illegal in Ireland, anything
that two resident magistrates said be-
ing law. The insecurity of liberty un-
der such circumstances is only too ap-
parent.
