THE INWARDNESS OF 1T.

The proposition involved in the re-
funding ordinance is simply an out
rage on the taxpayers of the city. Our
city debt, which it is proposed to re-
fund, amounts to $525, 900. Under
the present method of meeting this
obligation, in three or four years, the
interest charge would cease to be a
burden on the community, we would
have growing annual surplus for i'm
provements, and at the expiration OF
ten years we would have practically
wiped out the whole debt.
But the gentlemen who hope to
profit by this refunding scheme tell us
that we can't wait three or four years,
that there are improvements of press
ing necessity" that must be made right
away, and that if the money is not
forthcoming through this refunding
scheme taxes must be increased
What are these improvements that
are of so pressing" a nature that the
taxpayers of this city should be called
upon to make such an enormous
sacrifice of their own and the city's
interests as is involved in this refund
Ing plan?
THERE ARE NONE.
The plea that the refunding ordin-
ance, which would postpone the final
payment of our half million debt for
thirty-four years and in that time
make it cost the taxpayers a million
dollars to pay it, is needed for i'm
provements," is the baldest subter-
fuge 1t is needed for nothing of the
sort. What it is needed for is to cover
up the gross maladministration of the
citys affairs and a glaring deficit due
to waste and wretched management.
If any improvements of special i'm
portance are to be made in the near
future taxes will have to be increased
to do it, refunding ordinance or no re-
funding ordinance.
This is the milk in the refunding
cocoanut In order to escape the re-
sponsibility for their own official
neglect and incompetence, the City
Hall coterie that is trying to force
through this refunding scheme, would,
without conjunction, mortgage the
future of this city, make it impossible
for more than a decade for the city to
borrow any great sum in an emer-
gency, and burden the taxpayers with
our present debt for a generation to
come.
VOTE THIS SCHEME DOWN!
= ALMOST ANY INCREASE IN TAX

East have suspended. What! with this
prosperity and Dingleyism to boot?
This reminds us that the increased
tariff on carpet woods is given as one
reason for the suspension of these
mills. Thus does Dingleyism take care
of American labor.

Slr:-I notice the following 'lnSplr-
ed' statement in an evening paper:
The controversy over the refunding
ORDINANCE increases in intensity, that
The argument advanced this morning
insinuating that gross fraud has been
perpetrated by the Republicans is met
by city officials in the following concise
Statement of fact, the figures being
CLEANED from the annual reports of the
City Clerks, Republican and Democratic:
the last year Of Democratic regime. was
$746,355 67. On January 1st, 1895, the COM
pletion of the first year of the Republicans
in ab the set MaS rSduc1q bs ses =
licans further reduced the debt. as shown
by the report of 1897, to $644,S01 81. a re-
duction in the preceding year of S79 462 2od a
shows that the Republicans reduced the
electric light debt from $4,000 to S4S,GQ0
paying the current bonds of that year in
addition to paying the bonds on which
there was default in 1898 and 1894. These
figures are taken from the reports of City
Clerks Thoner, Dannenberg and Watkins
and according to well informed officials
sets at naught all allegations of gross eX-
travagance and acknowledgements"
These figures are not correct; but #
they were, why should this excellent
and philosophical Republican machine
be reversed, and the debt-paying policy
stopped and the taxpayers be sad
died with a device which will Just
about double the present debt in the
way of interest?
And, incidentally, the powers that be
at the City Hall are entitled to no par
ticular credit for paying whatever OF
principal they have paid in the last
three years, because the law compelled
them to do it. Do they claim especial
and particular credit for obeying the
law? And that after obtaining $685.,
900 extra from the people, in 1895, I'M
der false pretenses? ANTI-LOAN.

Christians was only thirty killed and

were Suliotes.
Brilliant as this triumph must be re-
garded it was the most dearly bought of
all those acquired by regenerated Greece
Though unblessed with the advantages
which science and education bestow, Mar
co Bozzaris was endowed with all those
manly virtues and that simplicity of
character which are only to be found in
the heroes of Plutarch. His conduct
from early life whether in his capacity
of citizen, patriot or soldier, had excited
the hopes and won the admiration Of the
whole Greek people. Surely the last act
of his life will bear an advantageous
comparison with the MOTT envied mo-
1nent in that of Leonidas, or the hero of
Mantinea To his bleeding country it was
an irreparable loss. Yet it would have
been impossible to die a more, glorious
Meath; while, if antiquity could boast q
DAME which has served as never fading
illustration to poets, orators and histori-
ans, modern Greece may safely put forth
that of Marco Bozzaris as being scarcely
less entitled to the palm of mortality.

Baseball Notes.

Manager Long of the Augustus will
have his team together by next Monday
and will open the season in Augusta on
that day with the Bowdoins.
The game the State college team put
up against Bowdoin makes it necessary
to include the Orono men as factor in
the college race.
Taunton hassswon game at last.
Manager Clarity has sold only two or
three season tickets outside of Lewiston,
yet if his team should happen to have a
streak of i'll luck the howl that would
go up from Auburn would be something
just awful.
Pitcher McDougan of last years Port
lands has sent his terms to Manager Gar
rity of Lewiston. The latter has signed
Edgar of Portland as utility man.
George Moore has been released by
Springfield and wants job in Maine.
The Lewiston Journal refers to the
Portlands as the champions in their
minds. That's right, they are and in the
minds of most of those who have seen
them play.
Manager Bacon seems to think that the
way to get what he thinks are his rights
in the Maine league is to abuse the Off
GERS.
We haven't seen any of those "Burn-
hamized" kilograms from Brockton in
any of the Boston papers since the decis-
ion of Secretary Young that Hickey be-
longs to Portland.
