THE CITY TAX RATE.

The city council has fixed the tax
rate for the ensuing year, and it has
been fixed at the same rate as last
year, mills on the dollar.
When it was fixed last year
the council figured out that there
would be a surplus of some six
thousand dollars, even the odd cents
being given, if we mistake not The
year has gone by but the surplus never
came. Why the council ever did such
ridiculous thing as to put out that
statement about a surplus no one could
ever tell. The present council has not
figured out surplus. which is to its
credit. But why is it that our city
councils have not the courage to face
the city's financial condition as it is e?
They do not seem to have the courage
to reduce expenses nor the courage
to make the tax rate sufficiently high
to cover the city's expenses. What
should be done is to reduce the city's
expenditures to a minimum, actually,
and not merely by long winded reform
messages full of large promises and
vain boastings, and then make the tax
levy sufficiently high to produce reve-
nue. enough to cover them and leave a.
fair sized surplus to form a sinking
fund for the purpose of paying off the
city's Indebtedness. This has got to
be done some day and the sooner it is
begun the easier it will be to do it. To
shut the eyes and not see disagreeable
facts does not do away with them.

THE CAMPAIGN ISSUE.

The Democratic national convention
met in Chicago yesterday. 1t has not
yet formulated its platform Of princi-
pies, but the speech OF Senator John
w. Daniel. the temporary chairman,
plainly indicates what it will be. AS
he made the financial question the
chief topic of his speech and insist
ed upon the necessity of the restoration
Of the free coinage Of silver at the "a
Ito CT 16 TO l, so the convention will
make the free coinage of silver at that
ratio the leading plank of its plat
form
Ever since the st. Louis convention
there has been a great effort made by
McKinley's managers to force the
question of tariff to the front as the
one paramount issue of the campaign,
and this in spite of the fact that there
was bolt from the convention on the
very question-that of silver-which
they are trying to subordinate to that
OF tariff. Senators Teller, Cannon and
Dubois and others bolted that conven-
ton because of its declaration in favor
OF the gold standard, and for no other
reason. Upon every other plank in the
platform they were in full harmony
with their party. All were agreed upon
the tariff plank. Not so as to the money
plank. This should convince the Nc
hinley managers of their error in at
tempting to force tariff as the issue
They cannot do it, The Democratic
party VIII enter the campaign flying
the free silver standard; around it
Democrats will flock and for it they
VIII fight. Its appeal to the people will
be made as the champion of free coin
age 1t Will be an impossibility for the
Republican party to ignore that an
peal The principal attack upon it will
be made through its plank declaring
for the maintenance of the gold stand
ard; and against that attack it must
defend, or else submit to defeat with
out attempting any defense It Will be
campaign of the people against plu-
uocracy. For years the people have
suffered, mostly in silence. At last
they have recognized the cause OF their
suffering and have determined to re-
move it. That cause is the demonetiza-
ton of silver. With the free coinage
OF silver they believe that there will
be prosperity and plenty again in the
land At all events they are determined
to fight for its restoration and thew
VIII be content to fight for nothing
else until free coinage is restored. 1t
is the paramount issue this year and
cannot be ignored.

GIFTS FOR EDUCATIONAL PuR-
POSES.

John D. Rockefeller was in Chicago
the other day and paid visit to the
magnificent Chicago university which
! is the result of his own liberality. 1t
! is a somewhat popular thing to make
/ slurs upon his gifts to the university
and to try and hold him up to ridicule.
] But the slurs are sorry failures. 1t
! almost seems as though a rich man
/ could not do worthy and commend
able thing and be credited with
worthy and commendable motive for
his action. In the way of aiding high
er education the rich men of this
country have acted in a princely man
ner, and what has been done in this
respect in other countries by govern
ments has been done by private in
dividuals in this. The Church Stand
ard has recently compiled some statis-
tics on this subject, and they are very
interesting. The following list shows
j what some of the rich men of America
have done for education:
Stephen Girard, to Girard college,
! IS, 900, coo; John D. Rockefeller, to Chi
cago university, 100000 George Pea
body, to various foundations, $6,0OO,0OO;
Leland Stanford, to Stanford univer-
sity, So, 600 600; Asa Parker, to Lehigh
university, sS.5OO,OOO; Paul Tulane, to
Tulane university, New Orleans, 81
500, 900; Isaac Rich, to Boston univer-
sity, $4,000, 600; Jonas G. Clark, to
Clark university, Worcester, Mass,
81, 900 coo; the Vanderbilts. to Wander
bilt university, at least $1,775,0 900;
James Lick, to the University of Cali
fornia, $1,60O0G0; John c. Green, to
Princeton, $1,5OO,O 900; William c. De
PAW, to Asbury, now De PAW uni
versity, $1,5OC GOO; A. ]. Drexel, TO the
Drexel Industrial school, $1,5O00 600:
Leonard Chase, to the Cleveland
School of Applied Sciences, 81 800 900;
Peter Cooper, to Cooper Union, $780,
900; Ezra Cornell and Henry w. Sage,
to Cornell university each 900;
Charles Pratt to the Pratt institute of
Brooklyn, S2,7OOOOO.
The list could very easily be made
longer Only a short time ago Presi-
dent Seth Low, of Columbia, gave to
that university 100000 All these
men are benefactors, in an educational
way, of their race. The country
should be proud of having such public
spirited men. It will yet delight to
honor their memories for their bene-
factions

He found, as others of us have found,
that the silver movement is the voice
of a distressed people, the cry from
two-tairds of the nation for relief.
The practical effect of Mr..
Williams manly declaration is to make
him the leader of the Democratic party
in this commonwealth, and, i'll my
opinion, If, under a reorganization Of
the party machinery there isn't stiff
fleming up of backbones and an eastern
stampede for silver, 1 shall be surpris-

minds me of those stiff-necked Crom-
wellian soldiers who settled in Ire
land, and who, after a generation, be-
came more Irish than the Irish them
selves. 1t may also cause some heavy
thinking among those gentlemen who
privately promised to discipline me for

Moses Colt Tyler, professor of history

it treats the subject largely from
religious point of view

care: but, of course, l want to see the
ticket successful. I care more for prin-
ciples, an honest expression Of convic-
tons, an appeal and commingling with
the people than I do for power or profit
for my party. I never ask whether we
are going to win or lose All 1 want to
know is, is it right? Being right, 1
care not for the results.
Asked as to how many votes free
silver Democrat running for governor
of Massachusetts would get, he replied
that he would get more than some
Democrats are willing to acknowledge.
He very truthfully said that if the
Democracy proclaim for free silver, the
discussion during the campaign will
bring to light the silver Democrats,
and will result in great change in
party leadership and policy.
Rabid anti-silver papers will scarcely
have the hardihood to charge that Mr..
Williams is a repudiationist and an
anarchist, a man who wishes to bring
discredit upon his country. He frankly
admits that he took a prominent part
in the fight against free silver in the
Fifty-second congress. He tells but
the truth when he says that the peo-
pie were told that all the trouble would
cease with the repeal of the purchas-
ing clause of the Sherman act. The
prosperity that was to come as the re-
suit of that repeal has not come; and
as he says, all the remedies have been
applied but one after another they
have failed.
Mr. Williams has taken bold cour
ageous position that must challenge
the admiration of all, no matter
whether or not they approve it. 1t
goes to show that the sentiment in ia
vor of silver is very much more wide
spread than the public has believed.
That it will continue to spread there
is little doubt.

IF TRUE.
Strange story About Thackeray and
Another Hand in Virginians.


Many readers of 1.-The Virginians'' have
wondered how Thackeray was able t.
write SO graphic and correct an accoun
of his hero's escape from Fort DuQuesnt
and his journey through the wilderness
as Thackeray had never seen the mag
nificent valley through which his gallan
hero fled after his daring escape AS q
matter of fact, Thackeray did not write
it at all, says a London journal.
He was at a dinner in London with An
thony Trollope, Wilkie Collins and other
celebrities.
The guests were setting down to their
wine and cigars, when Thackeray, VINO
was entertaining the company with his
wit and satire, suddenly stopped, and,
looking at his watch, exclaimed:
Gentlemen, L must leave you; l have
promised the printer a chapter of The
Virginians' tomorrow morning, and l
haven't written line of it yet. L hate
to go, but L must; the printer is mex
orable; so, wishing you all another meet
ing when / can be longer with you, 1
bid you good evening"
There was present minor author
named Kennedy, and Thackeray had al
most reached the door when he called
him back and said:
perhaps l can write the chapter for
you What are you going to describe?'
The great novelist seemed little as
tonished at this bold proposition, but ne
was too polite to say what he thought.
Kennedy, you are extremely kind, and
gladly would l let you write the chapter
for me, for l hate to leave jolly party
." 1Iil don't all the company cried.
"stay with US, and let MIR. Kennedy
4 have half mind to let you do it,
Just for the fun of the thing. 1t is a
chapter, chiefly the description, giving an
account Of my hero's escape from Fort
Ducuesne.'
III that's what you are writing about
I can do it, for know every foot OF the
AL right, then" said Thackeray, re-
Stunning his seat at the board. Let me
have it early tomorrow morning"
Mr.. Kennedy withdrew, and, going to
his home, wrote the fourth chapter of
the second volume of 1.-The Virginians;"
and thus it happened that the narrative
of the hero's flight was so accurate as
to the topography of the country through
which he passed.

TALES OF THE DAY.

The professor was crossing a small lake
in Ireland. After admiring for some time
the way his boatmau, John, handled the
oars he thought he would like to try and
row. John, nothing loath, surrendered
the blades, and the professor essayed the
task of rowing. Things developed rapid
ly into a shower bath as the oars splash
ed this way and that, and finally catch
ing a crab, the learned gentleman landed
with a crash in the bottom of the boat,
very nearly upsetting it.

ing is quite difficult thing, after all.
Dear me, how my back aches"
Faith, yer know" said John, ''it's all

oars or the heads of the oarsmen. The
