Or it may be that am hanging, as grow old

And sang Tor minute finely. as Wilder John

But when they struck thu cho.u', and sang out
Highland loud

But hen they kept repeatllg, and sang it o'er

Town Finances,

The present board OF Mayor and AL.
dermen started out right by appoint
ing a committee to make thorough
report of the towns financiil condition.
The report of the commlttee has been
made and published, and shows the
city's finances to be In lamentable
condition. The town is head over heels
in debt. 1t would be idle and useless
to discuss the question as to who is
responsible for it. The question now
is az to the remedy. Every good citizen
will cordially endorse the efforts of the
present Board to reduce expenses,
BdtNeductions will have to be made.
The people are not going to be taxed
much longer to pay for fire hydrants
away out in sedgo fields half a mile,
perhaps, from the nearest building.
We are paying for too many hydrants
and too many lights. But Johnson
City is not composed OF begg ara and
mendicants. The town must stand on
itsSlegal rights, and not fall at the feet
of creditors and beg for aims. The
school and street bonds are sacred OBJ
legations, and the interest thereon
should be met and paid promptly. We
got v.lue for them, and cannot afford
TO ak the holders of these bonds to
gire US the interest for Que day. We
got nothing in return for the Three
C's bonds but grief, and we ought not
to pay one dollor on them, unless COM
PEELED to do 90. To ask tbe holders to
give us the interest on these bonds for
three years, would simply recognize
the validity of the bonds, without Civ
ing any permanent or lasting relief
II we cannot pay the interest now
what assurance do we have that we
will be able to pay it three years from
noN? II might make somebody pop
ular to have no taxes for two years,
but great many people hope to live,
md xpect to pay taxes, alter the two
or three years have come and gone.
There must be no politics, no parti-
sanship in this matter lis business
strictly, The financial problem must
BE- met in manly way. 1t cannot be
delayed and ought not to be postpon-'
ed. tits about as bad to be beggars
as repudiators, but the people of John.
son City are neither. The expenses
OF the town can be largely reduced in
a legal and honorable way, and the
people d, mand thaeit shall be done.

Going Back On the Platform.

The most notable feature, perhaps.
of the platform just promulgated by
the Republicans of California is its
square reputation Of the last ma.
tional platform OF the party upon the
silver question The latter demands
the use OF both gold and silver as
money, but with such restrictions as
will maintain the parity OF the two
metals. The Californians sweep away
all talk OF restrictions by demand for
free and unlimited coinage at the
ratio OF sixteen to one. This is fair
lffset to the views OF the silver con.
ference held by faction OF the Ne
braska Democrats. The two incidents
taken together show that both parties
are far from united upon this disturb
ing question.
In their immigration plank the
California Republicans also manifest
their contempt for the Minneapolis
platform. The most that the national
convention was willing to cay was
that it favored more stringent laws
for the restriction of criminal, pauper
and contract immigration. Even this
went little farther than the truth,
for the dominant interests of the Re
publ can party are in the habit OF
importing labor under contract wher
they feel 50 disposed, and Republican
officials have winked at the practice.
The Cahfornians refused to conffne
themselves to the principle as enun-
ciated at Minneapolis. They do not
mince words but speak in language
easy to understand. They propose 10
prohibit the immigration Of all for
eign laborers, skilled or unskilled.
This is, no doubt, the most radical
ground ever taken ON this question by
any State convention OF sither Of the
great political parties.
II is worthy OF notice that these
square and specific instances OF dis
sent from the national platform were
not considered any obstacle at all TO
the approval Of that platform as q
whole, and, Of course, in ell its parts.
The first thing the California Re
publicans did, in fact. was to indorse
and thereby reaffirni the platform Of
1892. This is another good illustra-
ton OF the ease With which platforms
ale made and repudiated in one breath
and now little regard the machine
politician has for consistency in such
matters.

THE end Of the fight against the
income tax is the end of the legit-
innate fight against the tariff bill
and unless there is some Republican
trickery the..bill will pass the Sen
ate and be in the hands Of the con-
ference committee before the close
of this week. Such Republican
Senators as Aldrich, Sherman and
Teller, will do nothing to prevent
a vote being reached, the legitimate
debate being over, but there is a
gang of guerillas on the Republican
side of the Senate omen like "little
Billy" Chandler, of N. II. } which
may attempt to fillibuster against a
vote, not with any expectation of de
feating the bill but just because Of
their pure cussedness. Publie
interest, reoogizing the early pas
sage of bill, is now conferred upon
the changes that will be made IN il
by the conference committee. That
there will be number of changes is
regarded as certain, and it is fair tC
presume that they will all lean to-
wards the original Wilson bill as
it was passed by the House, al:
though probably in few, if any, in
stances Going all the way. The
sugar schedule is regarded as one
of the certain changes to be made
but it will hardly go as far as FIRE,
sugar, because of the opinion tina
some revenue must be raised from
sugar.

The Hatch anti option bill, (which
passed the House by a vote Of $50
to 81, has been before congress in
one or another shape for the last
FIVE years. 1t was shown by the
manner in which party lines were
disregarded when the vote was
taken for the bill, Democrats 90,
Republicans, A, and Populists 10;
against, Democrats o., Republi-
sans as that politics did not inil-
ence the members to any marked
extent. The anti-option bill was
originally introduced in the Fifty
first Congress by Representative
Funstonyof Kans,, who was chair
man of the House committee on
Agriculture at that time, and it
was introduced in the present and
in the Fifty-second Congresses by
