THIS matter reinforces the conclusions
SO often drawn by 1.-The News in the
last year that delinquency was the fnan-
cial curse of the city, and indulgence is
the cause of delinquency.
Our debt, our c-heeseparing scale of ex-
pense, our constant borrowing for tenn
porary purposes are all due to the tardi-
ness with which public rates of all sorts
are paid III, and it is impossible not to
recognize that during the five years OF
Republican rule in this city no effort was
made to collect the municipal income in
any reasonable ratio.
1t is to be hoped that the City Collector
and Comptroller and the Board of FL
nance will show vigor and determination
in getting in all arrears on real estate
since he cessation of adjustments by
the Martin Act Commission, and also all
personal taxes due and unpaid since the
last raid was made on backsiiders.

One of the vagaries of the tariff law
was illustrated by an Associated Press
despatch from Ottawa, Ont, yesterday,
in which it was stated that owing to
the number of bicycles imported from
the United States and the low rate at
which they are sold, the blk manufac-
turers of Canada have asked the Gov
eminent for a specific duty of SO on each
bicycle, with provision that in no case
should It be lower than the equivalent
of Is per cent. ad valorem. As the pres
ent tariff imposes a duty of 90 per cent.
on bicycles. an easy sum in mental arith-
metic will show how very low the price
of American bicycles must be abroad.
We have recently seen it stated that
the way to buy a first rate American
wheel cheap was to order it in Toronto
n nave it shipped home by express.
Whether this be true or not, it is certain
that those who are led by business or
pleasure to visit Canada may there pro-
vide themselves with American wheels
far cheaper tina in New York or Chi
Gag and take them home with them
at a considerable net economy. And this
Notwithstanding they have paid 80 per
cent. duty going into Canada.
TODAY the deficit for January reaches
and passes the eight million mark. This
places it more than a million of the def
fcit netted on the same date in January,
1897, which was SIC ,062, and almost three
millions beyond the deficit of January,
1886, which was s5,21s, Se6.
The total Treasury receipts for the
month to date, deducting the Union
Pacific money, are s2e, 1915, 9o4. This is an
increase of about three and a half mill
ions over January last, when the revival
of business had not fully set in. Two
and a half millions of the increase, APP
proximately are due to the internal reve-
nue. receipts.
But if there is a large increase over
last year, there is but a comparatively.
small one over January, 1896, when the
receipts were SIS. 357 1873. BY a comparison
of this figure with those given above, it
will be seen that there has been this
year a reduction of about a million and
a half in customs receipts as compared
with that year.
The total deficit for the fiscal year to
date is now $50, 4ss, 757. OF thisa about forty
four millions have been accumulated since
the Dingley law went into effect. Even
If every month from now to the end OF
the year should show returns favorable
to Mr.. D~ingley-an almost uncomfortable
p~roposition-it would be impossible for the
deficit for the year to be brought any
where near as low as was that of the
Wilson Act in 1867. And yet this nefa-
rious bill was passed with no other
ayowed purpose a that Of providing
the Government AT ONCE with suffi-
eient revenue to cover It's expenses.

est feature. In the scenic effects every
art known to stage realism has been
utilized, the result being a completeness
of detail that lends to the stirring story
environments that are affective in the
extreme. The entire four acts show scenic
pictures that are picturesquely beautiful.
The Chilkoot Pass, range of the Kit
chumotock Hills, prospective view of
Dawson City from the diggings, placer
mining on the Klondike and the Yukon
River, are graphic illustrations to what
height stage realism can be cached.
Throughout the entire play many start
ling and sensational features are seen, all
being thrilling in their effect. The com
pany is one far above the average, every
member of the cast being an artist of
ABILITY. Heart of the Klondike' is a
play of the times, bright and attractive
in every way and is an attraction that
none should miss seeing, and on its APP
p%earance here viii doubtless receive the
enthusiastic reception accorded elsewhere.

they ehortle over the wholesale transfer
Of some European industry TO this coun-
try.
The latest case is that of the Duplan
sink mills. formerly of Lyon, France. but
soon to be of Paterson. 1t appears that
in order to get around the duty, the
Duplan capitalists are going to confine
their European work to European needs.
They will send out here a number. of their
workmen. and will produce on this side
of the tariff fence goods for American
consumption.
AS they intend to send their men here,
we fail to see how the American work
man now on the spot is to be benefited by
the change, and as they will draft all the
profits to Europe and spend them there,
we fail to see how this country is to be
enriched at thai end of the operation.
Indeed the only substantial change that
we can see is that those who wear SILK
will have to pay more for it than for
merly.
ON Thursday, the Journal falsely and
Indignantly represented that the Street
and Water Board was relapsing into old
time Republican ways and was ceasing
to push water rent %delinquents for speedy
payment.
1t was simply a Journal lie.
The truth was given in THE News
yesterday. The screws are being put on
hard and they are squeezing the money
out of the slow-coaches just as the water
itself might be wrung out of a sponge.
Over $4,000 of back tax paid up was
