A CHARACTERISTIC PERFORMANCE.

1t is doubtful if any citizen who is
familiar with the record of the majority
of the School Board is surprised that 1t
per cent. interest. Intelligent citizens
have come to expect such transactions
at the hands of that coterie. If they
should indulge in any speculation about
it they would wonder why these disci-
Piles of Tammany had not paid per
cent If the present controller of the
city of Indianapolis should pay per
cent. on any considerable sum of money
for six months it would be the talk Of
the town, because people have come to
believe that the financial affairs of the
city are now managed upon strictly
business principles.
Why should the taxpayers of Indian
porary loans. when negotiated by the
majority of the present School Board,
that they pay when such loan is OBJ
tanned by the city controller? Simply, to
put it mildly, because the majority of
the board have no care for the public
interests. Some months ago Controller
Trusler wanted $4,000 for a specified Pc
riod. He called for bids. and the bank
of which Mr.. Frenzel is president fur
nished the money for 3 per cent. The
School Board wanted $4,000 for six
months. 1t did not properly advertise
for bids, and the loan went to Mr..
Frenzers bank at per cent. The
School Board ring pays $1,000 where
Controller Trusler would have paid ST.
$50. This is a sample of the dishonest
tactics of the men who now shamelessly
manipulate the School Board.
As for this money upon which 6 per
cent. interest is paid the larger part OF
ii will remain in the bank for two
months, so that the money on which the
taxpayers are paying 6 per cent. and
on which they should receive a low rate
OF interest as a deposit, will be loaned
to others at full rates. Those who are
not dull can see how it is that members
of the present majority find it to their
advantage to spend money TO secure re-
elections-but why can taxpayers vote
for them?
For more than a year. speaking for
taxpayers, the Journal has advocated,
as the only remedy to break up the COR
rupt practices of the majority of the
present School Board. the taking from
ii all the power TO make levies for
school purposes and to borrow money.
1t should be made subordinate to the
city government proper. like the Board

Interesting Statement Regarding the
Romantic Archduke.
New York Tribune.


The mystery surrounding the disappear

Johann Salvador OF Austria, who renouncei
deeper as time goes ut by More than three three
years have passed since Il was reported
that he. had gone down in south Pacific
on her way from Chile. But rumors have
arisen since then that he is still alive and
these rumors, at least VIII not die.
One Of the most persistent believers In
the theory that the Archduke is still in
the land of the living is Professor Won
Siemiradski. Of Germany.
AT the time OF the supposed wreck of
the Marguerite" he wrote in recent article
published In a German paper. Il was in
Buenos Ayres. There l heard first that the
had sold his ship to young man OF Buenos
Ayres. as the command OF ship sailing
around Cape Horn was too dangerous an
Undertaking, even for an officer with the
experience and skill of Johann Orth. Wheth-
er the ship, as was reported. really went
down with load of guano on board, or
whether 1t simply received another name
and thus disappeared from the marine reg
listers, can only be answered by the insur-
ance societies. and 1t is said that they paid
the losses. But one thing is certain. Johann
Orth. at the time of the reported sinking
or the Margarete was not on board. The
name OF the young man who purchased the
ship from the Prince was told me at the
time, but Ii has row escaped my memory.
six months later, just after the suicide
OF Balmaceas; IN April lss2, l returned 70
German officers then in the navy OF Chile.
In the German Club of Santiago no secret
was made Of the fact that the Archduke
was in the Chilean navy, and had fought
throughout the war against Balmaceda as
an officer OF the revolutionary navy. 1t was
even supposed that the new government
would give the command OF the new battle
ship Presidente ErrazuriZ. TO the successful
young commander. Whether Johann Orth
really received this command, and whether
he remained in the service of Chile after
the war, / am unable to say. / only assert
that in case he remained in Chile his pres
ence in Japan is easily possible, as the bat
tleship Presidente Errazuriz. which he was
to command. according TO report. with its
sailors and armament was lent TO japan.
The reports that the Archduke took part
in the war in Brazil are false. however. I
had many friends in the army, and the
presence of such a man among the few
leaders of the revolution could not remain
unknown"

has excited great interest in Austria and.

THE ADMINISTRATION OF DEFICITS.

The official figures of the receipts and
expenditures of the government for the
fiscal year which ended June 80 have
been published. The first fact in con-
nection with them which will attract
attention is the excess of expenditures
over receipts-S42, S25. 049. Indeed, the
most notable thing in connection with
Cleveland financiering is monthly and
yearly deficits. 1t is said that the def
icit for the past fiscal year would have
been greater If payment had not been
deferred upon a large number of over
due obligations. The only thing that
the Cleveland officials can congratulate
themselves over is that the deficiency Of
the fiscal year 1895 is less than that of
the year 1894, when 1t was 500. 500, 260.
The aggregate of the two full years Of
Mr.. Cleveland is s112.62s, 309.
Since the war there has not been
deficit, consequently any comparison be-
tween Republican and Democratic
financiering must be between SURPRISES
and deficits. During the two last years
of President Buchanan, as the result OF
the Walker and revised Walker ad va
loren and revenue tariffs, there were
large deficits, but then a majority OF
the Democrats in Congress were trying
to wreck the ship of state, and the def
icit was one of the devices. Under the
Cleveland regime neither the President
nor his Secretary seemed to appreciate
the fact or the causes of the deficits.
During the months which the tariff was
under consideration prior to the passage
of the present law the monthly deficits
nor the probabilities of revenue from
the bills proposed seemed to attract the
attention of the administration. The
Presidents wrath was poured out upon
those Democrats who would not vote
to put coal and iron ores on the free
list, while Secretary Carlisle seemed to
be interested in connecting sugar duty
on an ad valorem basis which would
have benefited the Sugar Trust. When
asked If the Wilson bill or the bill
which became a law would AFFORD suffi-
cient revenues to run the government
Secretary Carlisle's experts and clerks
figured out a surplus of something like
$25, 900 during the year which has
just closed with a deficit of nearly $43,-
000, O00 Democrats of the baser sort,
like Senator German, told the country
that there would be deficit, as did
every prominent Republican in Con-
gress. Even on the reassemblingl of
Congress. when the fact of deficit was
apparent to all men in that body who
gave attention to such matters, the
President did not call attention to it in
his message, but set the Democratic
House to considering a financial plan Of
which State banks of issue were the
prominent feature. Thus the President
and his Secretary are mainly RESPONSE
BILE for the two years of deficit which
has made the issue of $162.000,000 Of
bonds necessary and increased the in
terest account the last fiscal year So
074.51427 over that of 1894. Next year
the interest charge. because of the
bonds sold to make good this deficit,
will be over $7.25000O.
Such is the result of Cleveland finan-
ciering and Democratic legislation for
two years.

would have been possible with a lower
and fairer appraisal Of property. Is
that the purpose at the present time?
The lower the appraisal the smaller the

measures the amount of debt the city
can contract-is there an element in the
city interested in extending the amount
which may be borrowed? For instance.
a city valuation of $50. 100000 would
make the maximum that could be bor-
rowed s1.600,000, but increase the ap-
praisal s5,0O0.O0 and 100000 more could
be borrowed. The majority of the
School Board has exalted views of ex-
penditure which have not yet been real
ized-is there an influence in that direc-
ton to increase the appraisement to
the end that it will permit further ex-
penditure of money and the making of
further loans at per cent? If this is
the case would it not be better 10 make
fair appraisal and assess upon it the
amount needed rather than to increase
the valuation to make 1t possible to bor-
row more and thereby increase the bur-
den Of Indianapolis taxpayers by

the amount Of an appraisal which would
put property in this city on the same
basis as that of property in the other
larger cities and all the counties of the
State?
