A BAD BREAK.

Proceedings of the city council
yesterday were peculiarly interest
ing in view of the light that they
cast upon the credit of the city
abroad. This fact is most painfully
apparent, that the unwise COM
ments of home journals on her
financial affairs, published abroad,
are being used to the discredit OF
the city. However unintentiOnal
this result the mischief that it
works is none the less on that ac-
count. 1t is of particular import
ance just now, in the midst OF
the general financial disquietude
and distrust that nothing be said
or done to impair the credit of this
city by any mistaken presentation
of supposed facts, such as appears
to have been made by the "Bank-
ers' Special Service" The retlec-
tons of this article upon the credit
of this city are calculated to do
grave injury to all the interests of
the city, and based, as they are,
upon a lasnentable misapprehen-
sion of the real condition of the
city finances, particularly as to the
payment of the interest coupons,
will do such injury needlessly, and
with culpable if not criminal care
lessness.
1t is no light thing for so respon-
sible an authority as the "Bank-
er's Special Service" to post this
city as defaulting in it's interest
coupons for July, when those cou-
pons had already been paid over
the counter of the Chemical Ma
tional bank of New York, after the
holders of said coupons had been
advised of such payment through
notices in the Now York papers.
This whole matter is evidently a
blunder on the part of the National
City Bank of New York, through
which the interest on San Anto-
Mo. bonds have hitherto been
| paid, and this blunder seems to
have been largely caused by the
| differences that it drew from the
| San Antonio journal quoted in its
presentation of the subject. The
! LIGHT reiterates it's counsel urg-
ing press correspondents and
| journalists in the city to go slow
and exercise greater care in the
presentation of matters bearing
upon the credit of the city. Al
least let all the facts be stated and
due credit given for what the city
has done. This city has not de-
faulted her July interest, and it is
not fair that it should be 30 repre-
sented.
