Ordinance for Payment Of City OIL
GERS Fails to Pass.
Alderman Christensen's ordinance pro-
viding for the payment of salaries of city
officers and employees out of the police fund
in place of the general fund, the latter
fund having become tied UP through Shea's
injunction suit, did not pass at the ad-
journed meeting Of the city council last
night as had been expected 1t would. City
Attorney Wadsworth introduced an ordi-
nance amending the ordinance passed in
1869 creating the police fund so as to in
clude that taxes received by the city under
the mulct law from saloons be placed in
this fund instead Of the general fund. AS
1t was thought advisable to pass this before
Alderman Christensen's measure and as
some of the councilmen desired to investi-
gate the amended ordinance before voting
on it, it was finally decided to lay both
over under the rules.
The acceptance of the Omaha Termina
Bridge and Railway company of the ordi-
nance granting it a right of way on Union
avenue was received and placed on file.
e. O.. Armour served notice that he in
tended bringing suit against County Treas
urer Arnd and the city to restrain the is
suance of a tax deed based upon a tax sale
for non-payment of city taxes on certain
property belonging to him.
The petition of the Union Pacific Railway
company that it be permitted to build a
stone culvert twenty-four feet wide and
eighteen feet high at Thirty fourth street
under it's dump was referred to the COM
mittee of the whole.
A petition signed by a large number of
wheelmen of the city asking that the paved
streets be not sprinkled between the motor
tracks was, after a vigorous protest from
Alderman Johnson, who is an ardent BIZ
cyclist, laid on the table.
Alderman Casper was authorized to pur-
chase a new broom for the street sweeper
recently purchased by the city.
The question of the purchase of a new
team for the patrol wagon was referred
to the committee on police and health.
A petition asking that ". A. Stephenson
be appointed paving inspector was placed
on file.
Chairman Brough of the mi on
city property was authorized to sell to the
Omaha Bridge and Terminal Railway COM
pany lot II in block %, Everett's addition,
belonging to the city, for $3.50.
The request from President Wood that
the city be represented at the National
Flremen's tournament to be held in Omaha
September 5 to 10 was, after a lengthy dis
%cussion, laid on the table.
The council adjourned to meet August 90.
Previous to the council meeting the al
dermen held a short session as a board
or health, at which action was taken on

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. S.-The Pacific
mail steamer City of Panama arrived today
from La Libertad, with a cargo consisting
principally of coffee. Business in Central
America is exceedingly dull. Gold is very
scarce and the depreciation in value of sill
yer has greatly reduced the wealth of the
population. Everything is purchased out
side and nothing to speak of is manufac-
tured. Labor is paid in silver, but the wages
remain the same as when silver was almost
at a parity with gold.
The Everlasting revolution is causing a
great deal of trouble, as capital is gradually
being driven from rich fields, in which 1t
might easily thrive were the capitalist af-
forded protection of property and stability
of values. However, it is charged that am
bilious adventures in the United States and
malcontents at home are responsible for a
good many stories of revolutions that
never take place. Morales in the matter Of
Guatemalan affairs, is not looked upon as
a serious menace to the well being of the
present government.

owing to inadequate funds. And there are

NEATLY SUMr1ED UP.

From the Philadelphia Times we
take the following:
Evidently the question concerning
the Philippines is not whether Spain
will give them up but what we are
going to do with them Spanish
sovereignty is practically extinct
already not only at Manila, which is
occupied by the United States, and
throughout Luzon, which is controlled
by the insurgents, but apparently at
llolllo also, where there is still a Span
ish garrison shut in by insurgents as
the garrison at Manila was.
In point of fact, the Philippine
Islands are in the control of their in
habltants, except where our army,
with the support Of the navy, occupies
the capital, and they announce, in
effect, that they are only waiting for
the Spaniards to be finally disposed of
to try their hands on the Americans.
Either these people will have to be
placated or else they will have to be
suppressed, and neither task is an easy
one, though it may be assumed that
we should not bungle it as the Span
lards did. But the Spaniards spent
thousands Of lives in their attempt
and If we were to conquer these
islands it is plain that it would take
good deal bigger force than anything
IN contemplation now.

Not Under Control.

Sometimes, at sea. ship is found
flying the signal. Not under con-
troll. That is very terrible signal.
So long as the machinery and rudder
and the higgins are sound, and the
snip is under complete control, she
may weather the strongest gale; but
now she lies helpless at the mercy of
wind and wave. No rescuinp shin.
even, dare come very near. for mot
under control means that she is a
menace to others as well as herself
so IN life we find. far too often, a
man whose conduct indicates that
the forces OF his life are not under
control. That is sad and dangerous
condition, dangerous for himself and
for those about him. Safety lies in
keeping the elements of character so
adjusted that they are always under
control, that thus we may keep our
machinery true to its divine course.
