Appropriations.
One of the important functions which
this board is called upon to perform is to
determine the amount of the appropriations
to be made for the maintenance and sup
port OF the various municipal departments
and in so far as practicable to conform to
the annual amount provided. AS in some
cases the decisions of cur courts nullify
this effort the supervision over these ex-
penditures Decessitates the most rigid and
strict accounting on the part Of the officer
or department, and such publicity given to
the infractioB as may exercise a salutery
and deterrent effect, as such action brings
about a deficiency at the close of n fiscal
year which is nnjustly credited to the ex-
Denditures OF the board.
Electric Wires.

phone, electric lighting and other purposes

our streets are a constant danger aud mem

Without any recourse to harsh or arbi-
trary action In this matter. except as q der
ner ressnrt, some steps should be taken to
induce the telegraph and all other compa-
MES who use the streets for this purpose to
take steps within reasonable period TO
place all wires under ground.
The introduction OF electricity in the oper-
alton of streetcars Is another fruitful
source OF danger. 1t does appear that IL

these departments is the characteris-

Ladies' Sleeves for the Summer Season,
and How to Make Them.
The most essential feature of our present
modes is the pre-eminent part which the
sleeves take in the general make up Of a
toilette. They constitute the dominant
note, the striking accessory which compels
the attention of the beholder. In point of
variety of details, such as draperies, trim
ming and ornamentation, they surpass any
other part of the costume. To this COM
plication must be added the further necessity
of knowing the historical origin and ascer
tanning the style most suitable to the figure
of each individual woarer. The well known
and popular Mcdowell Fashion Journals are
excellent guides in this embarrassing per
plexity Recognizing the important role of
the sleeve in our modern styles, they have
devoted many lessons to on the different
kinds of the prevailing sleeves and the
manner of making them. These lessons are
invaluable They will be found in la Mode

Since Mr.. Cleveland's Inaugural
ton in March last, the pail of ruin
has been casting its noxious shad-
ows over the best people, the best
country, and the greatest republic
ON earth. AS well said, by the Pres
ident in his message, there is (snd
has been) feeling of distrust- I'M
rest and uncertainty have wrought
direful results. Added to business
failures. was clash over silver, that
arrayed the West against the East
and South. The $4,000 per year
doctors, were summoned by extra
proclamation ,and silver coinage vas
wiped out for the present, only TO
be fought over again at the polls
But relief came not to the nervous
political system. The dusky Queen
of the islands of the sea won the
Presidents approval, and as the
head of republic he sought to es-
tablish a monarchy. Dismal failure
Scathing denunciations have been
the sequel, and the provisional gov.
eminent under civilized intelligence
continues. The gold reserve has
been rapidly disappearing, and the
tariff bill has been as rapidly appear
ing, taxing our home business and
not foreign importations. Such is
the record, such is The trail of the
Ship OF state under its present man
agement, and how much more of fol-
ly will be added to the log book, ere
the cruise shall end, is worthy of the
very gravest consideration by the
American people.
