TIE CITY,s REVENUES.

The Finance Committee Of Council
has again discovered that the city is in
need OF funds.
The fact was apparent some time ago.
The REGISTER then advised Council to
Immediately begin general retrench-
ment aud pruning down OF expenses.
The present is an inopportune time
to talk Of increasing the tax levy, or TO
issue new bonds. The only practicable
way out Of the difficulty is to begin at
once a vigorous cutting down Of ex-
peuses. They can stand considerable
pruning.
The work should begin at once. The
present situation is due to the procras-
tinatinS policy which Council has pur-
sued for several years in mortgaging
the city's revenues in advance.

ESTABLISHING CREDIT RATINGS.
tribes That Have influenced Merchants
in Trusting Customers.


Credit rating is more easily obtained
nowadays than in the old times. The
process has been simplifed by the credit
bureaus, the development OF the COM
mercial travelling system and the ready
merns by which knowledge is diffused
by telegraph and rapid mail service.
Not many years ago IL was different
matter for an out-of-toWn merchant TO
get rating in New York than it is to-
day. As usual thing man began
business in a small way by buying and
selling for cash or on short credits.
When he came to New York he was
questioned and cross-questioned on a
wide variety OF subjects.
One man asked him about the crops
and collections in his vicinity; another
about his capital, class Of trade and vol
ume of business. His answers were
carefully noted, and the chances were
that his personal habits were made the
subject of a rigid investigation. Feat
ures such as these enter into the gain
ing OF credits nowadays, but not to such
an extent as say fifty years ago.
II may not be generally known, but II
is true, nevertheless, that prejudice,
superstition and tradition enter into the
matter Of credits To this very day
there are merchants in New York who
will not sell bill OF merchandise except
for cash to a person the terminal letters
of whose name are "sky" or "kie.
Years ago a class of the population
whose names frequently end with these
letters were in the habit OF failing In
business, and hence even to this day
prejudice prevails against them.
In addition TO this other names are
frequently prejudicial TO business man
seeking to buy goods on time. For
years, and until his death, a successful
merchant in the dry goods commission
business would not trust man who, as
the saying is, parted his name In the
middle. A person, for instance, who
gave his firm name as J. Thomas Brown
81 Co. was at once blackisted.
"No man." the veteran used to affirm,
WHO is ashamed Of the name given
him by his father or al baptism is hon.
est, and no such one can get credit
from my house."
Trifing incidents sometimes determ-
inc a man TO give or withhold credit.
Thus some years ago old men, believers
in the manners and customs OF the
past, have been known to refuse TO
sell merchants who wore nous
taches or who parted their hair in the
center. The prejudice against the
former wore away long before the lat
ter was outgrown. In tact, it is only
within a conn aratlvely few years that
some men could regard others who
parted their hair in the center without
suspicion or disgust.
Men who were utterly unknown have
been at once rated as good for their
wants" by an exhibition of frugality or
caution. One instance is recorded of a
merchant who, upon entering a store to
buy goods, knocked the ashes from
half-smoked cigar and put the butt in
his pocket. One Of the partners, who
observed this, at once concluded that he
was a man careful OF small things and
capable OF paying for his goods. His
opinion proved correct, and eventually
the man became one Of the firms most
desirable customers.

the case Of Isaac Franklin, charged by
Isaac Smith with stealing arope. There

A WHARF RAT CLUB
UNEARTHED BY The POLICE UNDER THE
PANHANDLE DEPOT.
Officer Snyder Investigates Vacant Room and
Discovers an Interesting Array Of Things
and Half-a-DOzsn Youths.

At the instance of the authorities Of
the Handle passenger depot, in this
city, officer Snyder made a descent into
a lower room, under the depot baggage
room, last night, and made an interest
ing discovery.
1t was in the shape OF regularly
fitted up "wharf-rat" club room, and
the apartment has been the headquar-
tiers of six or eight half and three.Quar-
ter grown youths, who have been drink
ing beer, playing cards, and doing
other improper things in the quarters
pre-empted by them for several months
past.
The room Is below the level Of the
depot platform, and is used in the win
ter for the storage Of fuel aud other
purposes, but in the summer is seldom
or never visited by those about the de-
pot. In providing around under the
platform boys found means OF enter
ing the apartment, and they took pos
session in short order, organized a sort
OF club, fitted up the room and settled
down for quiet time OF IT,.
The people about the depot have
been missing lanterns and other small
articles for some time past, and no
trace of them could be found. In some
manner suspicion was directed towards
the room, and the police were asked to
make an investigation of it. When the
officer went down, last night, he was
somewhat astonished at what he saw.
A big fire was blazing in the CRATE,
there was a bed, several chairs, halt-a-
dozen railroad and other lanterns, sew
eral decks of cards. pile Of penny
dreadfuls" and shilling shockers" in
the shape of ten-cent novels, and
large amount of miscellaneous stuff,
much of it probably stolen during the
summer by boys who were anxious to fit
up their apartment in the best possible
manner. One boy VAS captured, and
being taken to headquarters, he gave
the names Of the others freQuenting
the room, and it is likely all will be ar
rested to-day and an investigation made
as to whether any extensive stealing
has been going on or not. The place is
a rendezvous which 1t is we'll to break
uD.

This, by the way, is no reflection on
Mr.. D. w. GALL, its editor, and pro-

The Martins Ferry base ball club re-
turned home Sunday morning from
GAINESVILLE, where they played two
games of ball with the crack club OF
that place, winning one and losing
one. This is a very credtable showing
for our tSYs, as the club was gotten to-
gether OF few hours notice and had
no practice as a team whatever. They
are 10 meet the same club again in a
series OF throe games the latter part OF
this week, and if the boys will play the
game they are capable Of playing they
will give the GAINESVILLE cracks very
warm argument, and it would not sur
prise US to sec them lend winners in
two of the three games to be played.

than Mr.. CLEVELAND. In his
former administration Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND sent to Rome the Hon.
JOHN b. STALLO, who was well
qualified to represent this government
in any international business requiring
knowledge and skill. Mr.. STALLo,
however, committed the mistake Of
treating his mission seriously. He did
not give masquerade balls two or three
times a week, nor throw the ministerial
residence open to throngs Of pleasure
seekers during the season Of the carni-
val. Had he possessed sufficient wealth,
this sober representative Of the Ameri-
can government and people had no dis
position TO follow the extravagant pace
OF Mr.. WILLIAM WALDORF AsToR, Pres
ident Harrison's appointee, who had
preceded him. In consequence, Mr..
STALLO was turned down" by the
loungers ana faShiOnables who consti-
tute large portion Of the American
and English colonies in Rome. The
mission to the Eternal City has no pO-
litical importance or power, and it lost
its social distinction when Mr.. STALLo
refused TO use his position merely to
minister to the frivolous pleasures Of
fashionable society.
In nominating Mr.. VAN ALIEN, who
is a connection of WILLIAM WALDORF
Aston, as Ambassador TO Rome, Presi-
dent CLEVELAND, with keen sense Of
humor, has sought TO accommodate the
person to the position. Mr., VAN ALIEN,
unless greatly belied, has very just
conception of the functions and duties
Of the Office, and he will give the fash
iOnablo circles in Rome balls, routs ard
masquerades TO their hearts content.
lie does not wish the position in order
10 serve his country in a diplomatic
capacity, for that may be put wholly
out of the question, but for the social
distinction which he and the Office
may mutually confer upon each other.
This is not very lofty ambition, but
it is the highest that the Embassy to
Rome cal afford.
President CLEVELAND is not respon-
sible for this mo'dy and worm-eaten
diplomatic system. He cannot sub
stitutc useful commercial consulates
for the worthless diplomatic mis-
sious of Rome and Constantnople;
but his selection for the former post
humorously indicates the contempt in
which he holds the entire establish
ment. For q Republican WILLIAM
WALDORF AsTOR he has given Roman
society VAN ALIEN, who calls
himself q Democrat. President HAIR
msoN made notorious use OF the
foreign missions for paying politi-
cal debts, the only purpose, in fact, for
which 10 is still permitted TO exist. BY
rejecting VAN ALIEN the Senate would
not In any degree enhance public re-
spect for the diplomatic establishment.
The institution has sunk beyond the
power OF redemption; and President
CLEvELAND's jocose selection of VAN
ALIEN for the Roman Embassy is in per-
feet keeping with its character.
