Reform(2) in Baltimore.

Mayor Master, in his first annual message,
submitted to the Council on Monday night,
stated that, while his predecessor. Mayor
HOOPER, Republican, left an assumed balance
of. So. 900 in the treasury, the net Heating
debt of the city was $3.50, 402.45. The very
first act of the new Republican city govern
ment was the borrowing of money, notwith-
standing Mayor Hooper said he left $4,000
in the treasury Here is an extract from the
MAYORS message, as published in the Sun,
the leading Republican organ of the state {:
.,rbe deficiency is due to the fact that the Mayor
and CITY Council, in making the levy for 1897
0yerestimated the receipts from taxes. The comp
trollers report shows that the receipts from taxes
and other sources were S40s III sc below the est-
mate though SIS 240.73 of this amount was III eX
cess of appropriations actually made, thus reduc-
ing the deficiency in receipts to S293, 536S3 TINS
overestimating of receipts dictated, doubtless, by
an earnest desire to keep down the tax rate IS IN
my opinion, the fruitful source of all our noatlhg
debts .a
means against making similar mistake for 1898
Neither private public operations can be sue
cessfully conducted when the accounts snow an
annual deficit. 1t was to be hoped that the neceS
sity of funding in the year 1897 floating indebted
ness of nearly 81 100000 would have been such a
warning to the municipal administration that it
would not have left for the same year to It's success
sor another deficiency of nearly S2500OO

of 1898 based as it will be receipts and expendl-
lures for the year. must provide for the payment OF
This or fully realize that by leaving 1t
ash legacy to succeeding administration II becomes
the foundation for another funding loan.
6Ry ordinance No. 81, passed i'll 1897, the finance
commissioners are required to provide funds for

and also the 81 600 600 similar loan OF 1907 IL VIII
he noticed that of the maturing loans 81, 100 0OO
bears interest at the rate of per cent and 0OU
nj psr cent. AS there will be a deficiency, as
shown above of 3d. 70S 20 in the sinking funds to
meet these loans provisions will doubtless be made
by application to the Legislature of 1900 for power
10 renew them at Il much lower rate of interest.
The Mayor then goes on to speak of the
conditions of the streets of Baltimore, which
every visitor knows that are in a horrible con :
diton and that some are worse than country
roads, and then recommends the authorize
ton of a loan of 81 800, 900 by the present
Legislature for street improvement; also 81,
600. 900 for lots and construction of school
houses and $500. 600 for construction of sew
ers and bridges.
This is Il beautiful financial outlook for
Baltimore, with a necessary taX-rate Of about
S22j on the 500, it refunding Of maturing
loans and an addition of 81, 500, 900 to an eX.
isting debt of over $l6,OOO,OOO.

Disease, like the storm, gives unmisakable
signs of its approach. At first the threatened
patient experiences slight discomfort This
is followed with pain to Il greater or less eX-
tent, and other symptoms follow in rapid sue
cession. 1t is in this condition Of the system
that Jones' Great Blood and nerve Remedies
will be found all potent. The administration,
either internally or externally as the seat of
pain indicates, will arrest the progress of the
threatened diseases and quickly relieve the
patient from all pam or discomfort.
If people, on the first indication Of uneasi-
ness or pain, either slight or severe, would
take dose of Jones Great Blood and Nerve
Tonic, as the symptoms may require, not one
in thousand would ever be troubled with
serious sickness. The natural remedies for
the diseases of man are to be found in the
vegetable kingdom Health is that state in

The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1898-02-19

Last year the Republicans gave very few
offices to the Negroes, and those of minor
character. The demand this year by the
"eolored man and brother has been greater
and the Republicans are trying to take every,
thing in sight, because of the division made
necessary. There will be no minority repre-.
sentation as Gov. Lowndes, Wellington and
McComas are talking of. because they are
each we'll fixed, and ought not be any. The
Democrats in the Legislature should vote
solidly against the humbug should any such a
bill be presented.

Sesor Dupuy de LONE, who in IA private
letter, which some how or other was made
public, criticised President Mckinley, has
left for Spain, of which government he
had been Minister for some years. His
offense was speaking of Mr.. Mckinley as
a slow politician" When the letter was
made public he resigned at once, which he
ought to have done. While his statement had
a strong force of truth in it, still, as repre-
sentative of q foreign government, he should
have left such criticisms to the people of this
government
