coal and merchandise furnished the town;
bill was not allowed, but referred to
financial committee, which reported it
back on December 4, approved for
SlOS1. 20, which was accepted by Mr..
Wirdus for the firm. January 20, 1892,
Mcconnell, Chambers & Co.'S bid for
furnishing coal for the year 1892 was
Sll.75 for Rock Spring, and Mckenzie
& Baird's bid was S1025 fJr Roslyn.
Mcconnell, Chambers bid was accel tee,
although the highest; was the council
led by Windus? Mr.. Windus' attention
was called to the section above quoted
at that time. During the year 1892
this firm furnished coal and presented
bills therefor, and were paid in warrants
the sum Of S1747.46 in five separate war
rants. During the same time warrants
were issued to said firm for merchandise
amounting to S26S,71, in six warrants.
Every bill was a misdemeanor; hence,
eleven misdemeanors in one year.
In 1898 Mayor Neill took office, and
for that yea" the fuel bill was $14SO.56'
Notwithstanding that the capacity Of
the water works was increased about 400
per cent. Rock Springs coal was used
during this time, but it was furnished
by a different party. During 1894 the
fuel bill will be less than $500. The
city saved many hundreds of dollars by
failing to hold an election last fall, as
the deceit that was practiced on the pub
lie at the primaries was not known until
after the time for holding the election.

WASHINGTON CITY NEWS.

WASHINGTON, June 20, 1894
Mr.. Cleveland's financial "break" has
been more talked about in Washington
this week than the tariff Jill. Demo-
Gratis will not consent to be quoted by
name, but many Of them are saying lard
things about the man they helped to
put into the white house. Mr.. Cleve-
lands financial proclamation, which it is
said was prepared and made public with
out Secretary Carlisle's knowledge, had
just about the effect upon congress that
an unexpe tied speech from the captain
OF steamship at sea, assuring his pas
sengers that there was no danger, would
have upon the gers-it has aroused
suspicion which did not previously exist
Mr.. Cleveland's closest friends profess
ignorance of the reason or reasons that
caused him to unnecessarily alarm the
country, by shouting that there was no
danger, and in the same breath return
| ing thanks to the New York banks for
coming t. the rescue Of the treasury.
If there was no danger what did the
Wall street men rescue the treasury
from? If there was real danger, which
was avoided by the Wall streeters fur
nishing the gold required for export last
week, even Mr.. Cleveland must know
that "the limits of executive power"
which he says will be used to prot ct
our national credit, would not be sufli-
Gent to compel Wall street to come to
the rescue again, unless it felt 30 dis
posed. Secretary Carlisle is no tinan-
cier, but he knows more on the subject
than Mr. Cleveland does. However, to
quote the words of a disguised demo
cratic senator, things are already SO
bad til It nothing Mr., Cleveland can say
or do will make them worse. When
there is a change it is bouno to be for
the better" Some think that Mr..
Cleveland intended his proclamation as
a notice to his party in congress that II
not given authority for bond issue he
intends to issue more bonds under the
old law as soon as congress gets out of
the wav.
Senator Hill smiled when Mr.. Cleve-
land nominated Charles DeKay, New
York man who was not known to a
single member of the New York con-
gressioual delegation, to be )nsul gen
eral at Berlin, one of the pleasantesU
and most lucrative berths in the consul
lar service. Mr. DeKay is literary
man and is said to be we'll qualified to
perform the duties of the position to
which lie has been nominated, but he
has no connection with New York poll
tics. and until it was discovered that be
was a brother-in law of Richard Watson
Glider. who divides his time between
editing the Century magazine, writing
non understandable verses and kotow-
ing to Joss Cleveland, no one understood
why he had drawn such prize. Then
it was clear as day, as it isn't the first
plum tina: r. w. G. has Knocked down
