Several efforts were made to secure
Unanimous c5dsent for Mr. Morgan to

surprise of everyone it prevailed by

POWERS OF THE NEW MA YOR.

The Mayor of Greater New York
will have a personal power far ex-
ceeding that of many kings who rule
over states no greater in population
1t is literally true that this is SECOND
in Importance only to the President
of the United States. He will hold al
most supreme power over a popula-
ton of more than 5000, 900 people.
The employees of Greater New York
w illnumber about $4,000, including
1000 policemen and 1000 in the de-
parthent of streets. The salary and
wage list will amount to $33, 900, 900,
and the total expenditure of the city
will be 5000, 900 in round numbers
The trainers of the charter Of Great
er New York deliberately placed ia
the hands of the mayor centralized
authority of the most absolute kind
Through his membership in those
boards and his power Of appointment
he controls nine fifteenths of the
board of public improvements and
three fifths of the board of estimate
and appointment. He appoints the
members without need of confirmation
and has absolute power of removal
with or without state cause, at any
time during the first six months OF his
term.
Besides this he appoints a great
number of other officers, and these
officers appoint their own subordi-
mates, so that the personal compost
ton of almost the entire city govern
ment depends upon the mayor. He
may direct the police in the enforce
ment of the laws, and in time OF
tumult or riot he may demand the
assistance of the state militia located
within the city. In addition to his
purely executive functions, ne has an
enlarged veto power upon the acts of
the municipal assembly, and he exer-
cises qualified veto power over
state legislation relating to the city.
1t Is literally true that such power
for good or i'll was never before placed
in the han ds ofany one man in this
country.

The Boston News Bureau says: There
is evidence that the dissenting bond
holders to the Central Vermont reor-
ganization will attempt 20 block a.
greement with the Grand Trunk from
being carried out through the courts
and the opposition will show it's hand
when an attempt is made to secure
foreclosure of existing mortgages.
"Opposers TO the present plan say
that the Central Vermont was In the
hands Of the court for % years, and
that thare is no reason for haste in
terminating the present receivership.
The per cent consolidated bonds
of the road will probably play an i'm
portant part i'm the reorganization OF
the property, and it is thought that if
an attempt is made to block the fore .
closure Of existing mortgages IL will
be done through these bonds.
"It May be of interest to give the
most prominent holders of these
bonds:
Grano'Irunk, $1,000 900 bonds
American Express Co, 10000 bonds
Smith estate, SOC, 900 bonds
Am. Loan and Trust Co, 200, 900 as col't
Union Nat. blk, St.Albans, 90, 900 bonds
element Nat. blk, Rutland, 4O, 900 bond.
There is a feeling in some quarters
especially among people interested i'm
the Ogdensburg and Lake Champlain|
and Ogdensburg Transit Companys|
that the Ogdensburg and Central
Vermont roads should be consolidated
into one property with one mortgagel
covering both properties.
The reorganization committee, howl
ever feels confident that it will bel
able to carry out the agreement
which it has been authorized to make
by the first mortgage bondholders.

More and more merchants seem to
be interested in the s1cash onIy'' idea.
In a community where that plan can
be worked at all it is surely the prefer
able way. Not only can cash bust
ness be transacted for less expense
than the cash and credit kind, but it
enables the bright merchant to turn
corner with ease and certainty. Said
one Of this kind to me q few days
since: "If we get little short, we
have only TO make special sale Of
something, and We can change at least
part of the goods into cash-enough
to let us out of our trouble. Whereas,
if we gave credit, no matter how much
we sold, SO large a part of it would
be charged that we would not be like
ly to get much instant relief" There
is reason in this position. l know a
great many instances in which quick
turn has been made by cash house
and serious inconvenience, to say the
least, avoided.

What this country can raise it ought
to raise, and there is no more sense
in our buying our sugar abroad, with
freight, brokerage and duty added,
when we can raise it at home, than
there is in our buying our wheat from
Russia and our corn from Roumania.
instead of growing it in iowa and
Minnesota. Every new industry es-
tablished in this country is to it's BEN
eft, and if the Dingley bill enables us
TO raise all the sugar we need IL will
prove a blessing to Americans. 1t isl
a strange form of patriotism which
finds it better for us TO import the
sugar we need and TO depend on
Europe for it, rather than TO raise id
ourselves.

1t did not require a war between
China and Japan to teach the fact
that wood work on warships is dan
gerous. It is said that more of the
Chinese were killed on their own
gunboats and ships from splinters than
from she lis and bullets of their enc
mics. There is likewise a danger
that wood may take fire during an
engagement. These facts have ex
cited in the breast of certain patriots
a wish to render our own Warships
fire proof by treating the wood on
and the wooden boards with chemi-
cals-for the usual consideration.
The consideration having been paid.
the wood has been treated, and is de
clared to be failure. 1t quickly rots
under the action OF the chemicals
and is more than ever liable 70 break
and fly to pieces when a shot strikes.
Furthermore it is held to be injurious
to health as it absorbS moisture and
imparts chills. For the same reason
it causes the rusting of metal that it
touches. Iron floors and walls are
not comfortable to look at, but they
are safer and pleasanter than chipping
wet and decaying wood, and in case
of actual trouble with another ship
the less wood on the premises the
better.

Word has been received from New
York that Charles T. Yerkes is nego-
tiating large loan there with which
to complete the Northwestern Ele-
waited Railway. It will take SO, 800, :
900, and if Mr.. Yerkes has his way
first mortgage bonds will be given in
exchange for the loan. Over So, OOO,-
900 has been spent for building only
small part of the road. The Elkins
Widener syndicate promised to take
the construction stock, but failed to
do SO, and this has caused a serious
delay. The Cleveland message on
Venzuela also prevented the negotia
ton of the bonds, and adverse legis-
lation at Springfield gave the project
a setback.
The increased business done by the
elevated roads since the completion
Of the Union loop is in Mr.. Yerke's
favor, and his friends here think that
he will have no trouble now in getting
the money. After Jan. 1, 1898, the
Northwestern will be liable for $62,
500 year for loop privileges.

is a consolidated statement of the
condition Of the 1853 savings and 2O5
State banks in Iowa, based on reports

that the total deposits have increased
in three months, or since the state
ment Of June 80, from S45, 900, 900 to
over $50, 900. That is, three
months have increased the deposits
ten per cent. This increase is by far
the largest ever known in the State

with the statement of June 80 last, the
total increase was less than 81 900, 600.
The ITO national banks, according to

You told US that billow Of prosperity would
flow
A mighty wave-across the land from Maine to
Mexico;
That the mills would all be opened and lost con-
hdence restored,
And the banks wCuld loosen mp" their grip
upon the golden hoard.
We are testing now the virtue Of the golden
cure" to save,
And are waiting, waiting, waiting, calmly walt
log for The wave.
You said the glorious flag of Thrift at once
would be unfurled.
And wave again in gladness DER reconstructed
wotld;
That Hopes effulgent beams would shine in
floods OF living light,
Aud rayen-winged Despair would take her
everlasting flight
That these grand things would happen you
your solemn promise gave,
And now we're waiting, waiting, calmly wait
ing for the wave.
Yes. all these things would happen we were
confidently told,
If we'd vote for Buckeye Billy and the single
standard gold;
But now we're on our uppers from tramping on
the street
In search Of work to earn wherewlth to buy our
bread and meat
We voted as you said we should, in hopes the
way to pave
To better tunes, and now we're sadly waiting
for the wave,
We've been waiting, waiting patiently, for 10!

And watching fer the rosy dawn to greet our
anxious gaze,
Till our wardrobes are depleted and our lSrders
