To the Finance Committee of Council:
The REGISTER calls your attention to a
little matter that if promptly and firmly
handled will not only reflect credit upon
your business sagacity, but put to fight
the enemies Of the city's prosperity.
Why should you have any extraordinary
difficulty in floating the four-and-a-half
per cent. bonds? The resources Of the
city are great; the revenues are abund-
ant, and the banks Of the city are al
ways anxious to become her authorized
repositories. You have, say sixty odd
thousand dollars worth Of four-and-a-
half per cents to sell; you are about to
issue some eighty or ninety thousand
dollars worth Of six per cent. bonds; a
certain quantity OF both denominations
will only be sold at a time, and as
they are needed. What is the matter
with receiving bids from the sew
eral banks in the city for as much
money as you will need to prosecute
the improvements to a finish, the
banks that offer you the lowest rate of
interest, to be designated the city
repositories. They in turn accepting
the two sets Of bonds as collateral. The
banks which act most literally in their
dealing with the city should in turn re-
ceive the greatest consideration from
the city. Such a plan would be
plain business proposition easy Of &C
cOmplishment. Suppose it was pri-
vate individual with the city's revenues
and resources that wanted to negotiate a
loan with such guilt edge securities as
collateral. How quickly and anxlously
would the banks seek his account, and
readily loan him the sum asked for on
such excellent securities. But it seems
to be the old, old story over again. The
city'S interest is no one's interest, and
she should be made to suffer all sorts of
inconvenience and expense because she
can stand it. On the other hand, ought
it not to be the work Of every good
citizen who has the welfare of his city
at heart to help extricate her from
fix which did not arise from extrava-
gance, but rather from an excess of
economy? The object Of Council was
laudable one, to wit: 70 negotiate the
bonds OF the city at as low rate OF in
terest as possible. It seems the rate Of
interest was trlhe too low, although
there are some who say yet that if the
bonds had been handled properly they
would havs been readily disposed Of
Be that as it may. there ought to be no
trouble in getting the necessary funds
to complete the important public work
now under way. The talk about resub-
hitting the loan to the people IS bOsh.
It would mean unnecessary expense and |
delay.

This storm wave will have tendency
to increase cloudiness and foggy weather
with moderate amount OF rainfall
The low barometer will probably take

Northern States. Weather Will De very
changeable and second storm wave
will be due TO leave the Pacific coas
about the 7th, cross the Rocky-Aiie-
gheny valley from sth to 10th and reach
the Atlantic coast about the llth. SUD

pected, and a thsrd storm wave VIII
leave the Pacific coast about the 10Th,
cross the Rocky-Allegheny valley from

AUGUST will be the best growing wealth

A CORRESPONDENT has discovered
that the German Emperor has "a ready
wit" and relates the following anec-
dote to prove it:
The other day at Hatfield, during lunch
con. Nine. Waddington's necklace became
nnfastened. and Senior de Several, the
Portuguese Minister, who was sitting next
- her fastened to assist the Amoassa-
dress in refxing the clasp. Observing TINS,
the kaiser exclaimed iOcularly, Here's
S5o,-tnsral irving TO strangle France" and
when The Prince Of Wales came to the res
one he added. Worse and worSel There's
Great Britain helping her TO do 1t, y re
mari which caused much merriment
among the Emperor's immediate neighoors.
It 20 be feared that much of the
amusement afforded by this jest was
due to the fact that the jester was an
Emperor.
