PAY THE CITY DEBT.

The proposition that is before
the taxpayers of this city, to clear
off the present indebtedness by
bonding the city for the sum of
| S240,000 is one that commends it
self to the consideration of every
property holder in the city as a
measure of economy, not to men,
ton the beneficial effect that the
settlement of this debt question
would have upon the credit of the
corporation. The adoption of the
means proposed by, the council for
the liquidation of the debt now
due to the San Antonio National
| bank reduces the interest upon
that debt at least two per cent, in
sures it's payment of the entire
debt within. four years, and that
by such gradual instalments as
will least embarrass the finances
| of the city. With this debt thus
| arranged for the regular revenues
of the corporation could be APP
piled to the current expenses
of the city, and the sur
plus of those revenues, that would
be unappropriated to current ex-
| penses under an economical adj
ministration of affairs, would be
| sufficient to meet the annual pay
ment of 100000 proposed in the
proclamation of the Mayor calling
for an election to pass upon the
| question Of thus bonding the city.
This is a plain business PROPOSE
| ton and should be met in a plain
business way. The city owes
$240,000 upon which it is payiag
leight per cent. interest. This debt
is lien upon all the revenues of
the city. 1t embarrasses the city
administration, leaving it no mar
gin for accruing expenses without
bringing it into conflict with the
creditor who holds the city paper
for $4,000. By bonding this debt
the interest upon it is at once re-
duced from eight per cent.
to six per cent. The treas
ury of the city will be
only called upon to pay $4,000
of this $4,000 in any one year,
leaving the residue of the yearly
revenue for the regular expenses
of the corporation, and that $4,000
can be readily saved out of the
present revenues by an economical
administration Of the finances of
the city. There will be no farther
friction between the city and its
creditor, who advanced the money
: to the old administration in good
faith and must be dealt with in
good faith by the city. The ques'
, ton for the intelligent taxpayer tC
settle for himself is this: Is there
, any better solution of the problem
+ possible? Does it not meet all the
requirements of the case and Oper
the way for a settlement in every
way creditable to the city, anC
t with the least possible embarrass
f ment to her finances? If it does
, then there is manifestly no goOC
y reason why the issue of the pro
posed bonds should not be voted

THERE are nearly 5000 unem-
ployed in the city of indianapolis,
and San Francisco warns all who
are seeking employment to give
that city a wide berth, as there is a
great overplus of labor there. This
is one of the greatest evils that re-
suits from a season of financial de-
preston like the present. 1t bears
with undue severity on the labor
ing classes, who of all others are less
able to bear the burdens of idle
ness. The problem of the employ
ment of the masses is already one
of the most difficult problems that
confronts the practical statesmen
of today.

The great annual clearance sale At Sands
Bros.' 10 drawing to . close. New goods for
early sDring are already beginning to ar
rive and must soon b brought forward 10
the retail departments. In the short time
remaining of their great clearing sale, sur
prisinR inducements will be offered, not
only in all lines Of winter goods. but on
many lines Of staple dry goods and house,
keeping goods. Careful purchasers will
avail themselves Of the opportunity pre-
sented during the last days of the great
sale TO provide for failure needs - we'll as
for the present.
The immense business done by Sands
Bros. since the opening Of their great clear
ing sale despite the extremely severe
weather prevailing part of the time, attests
the value Of genuine attractions.
Ladies who are I equent visitors at Sands
Bros. are no doubt familiar with their
pleasing business methods, but we may call
attention to some of the leading principles
which distinguish their establishment and
which contributed in nc small degree to
their present position as pre-emidently the
most popular house in Montana.
Sands Bros. have never aimed to ind out
how cheap they could sell goods, but how
good the quality at reasonable figures.
They never praise inferior goods In order
to sell tbem. They believe that m~isrepre-
sanitation will in the end bring a ansnt
injury to business. though il make N tenn
porary- gain. They do not practice the
method Of "csvinR down. the goods Of
other houses. but strive to present in all
lines only reliable qualities in their own
establishments: Truthful representation,
reliable qualities and lowest prices you can
always expect at Sands Bros, but at pres
emit you will find unusual inducements in
all departments, az a perusal of the list of
bargains given in their advertisement to-
day will show. Attend the great clearing
sal this week. "
