THE KEFUNDING ORDINANCE.

Reverting again to the contemplated
of the city, the Register would suggest
to the powers that be. in and around
the City Building that it would not be
amiss to consult home as well as out
side talent in finance. There are
Messrs. John Wagner, J. A. Miller, DAN
iel and Henry K. List, Gibson Lamb,
Geo. w. Eckhart, Col. Thos. O'Brien,
L. E. Sands, Geo. Hook, B. w. Peter
son, Alex. Mitchell and score of 9TH
ers whom the Finance Committee could
consult, and whose opinions would be
of much more value in the negotiation
of successful loan than that of out
side parties; because they not only
have the experience, but they know the
local conditions and are anxious that
the public interests should be subserved
as well as private interests
In this connection the Register would
remark that it is just as well at the
beginning to drop all thought of sink
ing fund. Sinking funds are too often
corruption funds, and the experience
of this city in that line is a good and
sufficient warning to dismiss all thought
Of it.
The Register is informed on good au-
Ihority. that a four per cent. thirty
year bond, one thirtieth thereof to be
paid annually, beginning with the first
year, and, after the expiration of ten
years, the city to have the option of
redeeming as much as she may elect,
could be readily negotiated at par at
home. The bonded Indebtedness of the
city is 100000 in round numbers; the
principal and interest thereon to be met
the first year would be about $4,000.
Each year thereafter it would grow
beautifully less until wiped out COM
pletely. Meanwhile the city would be
gradually expunging her entire indebt-
edness and adding larger sum each
year to her resources for municipal i'm
provement, which would keep on in
creasing as the debt diminished; or if
the improvements be unnecessary, then
the taxes of the citizens could be dimin-
ished-a long felt want.

GRIGGS in GRACIOUS MOOD.

Washington Times.
1t is very kind and obliging in At
torney General Griggs to declare that
he alone is responsible for the current
delay in the Carter case. 1t is also
liberal on his part to promise an early
decision. What we wonder at is that
a gentleman like Griggs, presumed to
be learned in the law, should seem to
be oblivious of certain legal facts with
in the knowledge of even his lay fellow
citizens.
taken when he claims responsibility in
the matter of Captain Carter and the
right to "hand down decision" The
unanimous verdict of the eourtmartial
is not subject to review by the Attorney
General. 1t must be approved or re-
iected by the commander-in-chie
There is no intermediate authority
known to military law. The only thing
within the power of Griggs to do is To
write an opinion. 1t is reflection
and outrage upon the judge advocate
general of the army and his efficient
department to allow Griggs even to do
that; just as it was irregular, offensive
and demoralizing to the service to dis
credit the only recognizable reviewing
authority and turn the papers over to
George F. Edmunds at an unauthor-
lied public expense of $4,000.
The air of Lake Champlain is too ex-
hilarating for Griggs.

In the light of SPANS experience the
assumption that $4,000 or 10000 regu-
lars and volunteers was enough to de-
feat the Filipinos was monumental
and inexcusable blunder. Let US hope
that these same blunderers will do bet
ter with more than double this num-
Der, though there is not much encour-
agement in their past performances,
while the War Office is still in igno-
rance of what the troops will have to
encounter or how many it will require
to hold captured territory. The admin
istration at Washington, in fact, is APP
parently working almost entirely in the
dark.
This war is now costing the Amer
lean people at the rate of 100000, 900
a year, although the War Departments
available appropriation is but 100000
000 We may guess at the size of the
deficiency that will confront Congress
when it meets next winter. Not only
will the entire war budget have to be
overhauled and enlarged, but taxation
will have to be vastly increased.

BEWARE OF THE KLONDIKE.

Despite the frequent warnings that
was not to be picked up like pebbles
on the seashore and could only be Sc
cured by men of great endurance, de-
termination and considerable expert
ence, thousands of foolish people ut
terly unfit for the task before them
were 1ured into that region of icy DESC
lation. These were generally promptly
fieeced of the little stock of money ac-
cumulated for outfits and left to shift
for themselves on the long trail of
snow and ice, where they starved or
froze or managed to crawl back Grip
pied and penniless. According to the
Chicago Chronicle, one party of fifty
has lately reached Seattle and applied
to the Chamber of Commerce of that
city to furnish them with half-rate
transportation to their homes. These
men have been in the Kotzebue Sound
region since last year and their leader
says he personally knows of the death
from disease, starvation and accident
of fully ten per cent. of those who went
to that region a year ago. Another
party of "thirty-two survivors of the
Edmonton route" is heard of at WraE-
gel, Alaska, starved, frozen, in dire
distress, and this frightful kind of in
telligence is likely to be repeated for
weeks to come.
That there is great wealth of gold in
the Klondike region is past disputing,
but, as our Chicago contemporary puts
it, so there is in the gambling shops
of Monte Carlo, but the proportion Of
those who will win it from the Klon-
dike's icy clutch will not much exceed
that of the men that break the bank
at Monte Carlo"
With the exception of a small per-
centage of successful miners, who have
managed to make modest individual for
tunes out of it. the bulk of the money
made in the Klondke is made by min
ing, trading and transportation COM
pani~s, who live off the thousands of
inexperienced people they lure into
this frightfully inhospitable region by
their seductive advertising. And these
poor dupes are generally untitled phys
ically to endure the untold hardships
of this region, while they are usually
entirely without adequate idea of what
is before them and hence unprepared
for it, and totally without knowledge
of gold mining even should they sue
coed in reaching the field. The result
is that they must early succumb and
throw themselves upon charity.
Another point emphasized by return
ing Klondikers is that owing to the
supineness Of our administration at
Washington an American has little
show in that region, overrun with
Canadians and Canadian police, who
recognize none but their own country
men as having any rights that they arc
bound to respect and especially regard
Americans as interlopers.

Capt Blackburn Barrett Dovenes
will of course, be a candidate for nomi-
nation for Congress in the First Dis
trict. The Captain thinks he has
made a good Representative, and uses
a very unique and original argument
in support of his claims. ''Its this
way" he said to friend on the B. &
o. train a few days ago. when a
mans in Congress for two or three
terms he becomes familiar with the
members, and the method of conduct
ing the business, and he is more valu-
able to his constituents than a green
hand. He should not be turned out
except for cause. It's just like putting
a man in charge of store. Say, for ex-
ample, that you had man conducting
a store for you for four years. Then
a fellow comes along, fellow who is
just as capable, but has not had me
experience. Your Interests would
prompt you to retain the old man,
wouldn't they?" Capt. Dovenler will
find that Judge Campbell and B. F.
Meighen have a host of friends in the
First Congressional District, whose
loyalty to them will not be affected by
the Captains experience argument.

LANCASTER New ERA March %, '99.
! No little activity was developed in the
local market during the past week.
There were calls for old goods, and these
were met so far as circumstances would
allow A better feeling seems to have
developed since the late ruling of the
Internal Revenue Department was re-
scinded, and everybody feels as if an
incubus was lifted from the trade. Ci-
gar manufacturers feel as if their in
terests were provided for and they are
moving right along as before. The fol-
lowing sales have been reported to us:
15Ocs by M. M. Fry; 335cs by G. Ell. We'll
CHAINS & co. This firm has also pur-
chased about SOOcs of old goods during
the past fortnight. w. S. Bare 64cs;
Isaac Stirk 158cs, and Geo. w. Hensel
2OOcs; in all 907cs. For the correspond
ing week of lsat year the sales were go
cases.
The cry of the tobacco packers for
new goods continues to be heard all over
the country, and the first of April will
see but little seedleaf left in the hands of
the growers Even the Havana seed is
finding more buyers, and it would not be
surprising to see that take squirt also.
The outlook is that good wrappers will
be scarce and high during thenext twelve
months, and anything that can be used
for that purpose will be in demand.

NUMBER II.
New YORK A pril l, '99.

The attention of the market the past
week was chiefly absorbed with the first
Sumatra inscription, which took place
at Amsterdam last Wednesday. For the
first time the preliminary reports about
the condition of the new crop offered
seem to have been born out by the result
of the inscription. For an inscription
season has never before opened with
such small purchase by the Americans
as on Wednesday last. The conclusion
is, therefore, plain that very little of the
new Sumatra comes up to the standard
required for the American market and
that the reports about that poor quality
of it have proved true for once. The
new leaf has been reported to be narrow
and heavy. particularly in its second
sizes, and if so our cigar industry will
have to fall back on the stocks on hand
of the old importations. The chances
are that old Sumatra will experience
quite boom if subsequent inscriptions
do not offer larger quantities of leaf
suitable FOR the American market.
Hence the market was on the tip-toe OF
expectation about the result OF the first
inscription. Not only the holders of old
Sumatra, but also the holders of New
England leaf will be affected most ad-
vantageously if the Sumatra crop does
not show off better than at the first in
scription. There is no denying the fact
that the consumption of domestic wrap
per leaf has increased to some extent for
the past few months, particularly since
it has been put through forced sweat.
Of course, the forced-sweated leaf does
not sell in large lots, nor do the large
manufacturers seem to take to it, But
it appears to be just the thing for the
small manufacturers, and consequently
the jobber is handling and pushing it for
all it is worth. 1t has kept the market
lively for the past week. There was also
very fair demand for old filler leaf and
Wisconsin, the sales altogether amount
ing to about 1000 boxes
In Havana leaf the lively demand is
being kept up and the prospects are
that by next Fall nearly all the old stock
will be cleared out. Importers are not
selling freely to everybody, but reserving
their stock for their regular customers.
The week in Sumatra leaf was quiet
because prospective buyers were waiting
| for the result of the first inscription of
| the new crop. But they will soon be
hustling around at arather lively pace

New YORK, March %, '99.

The new Connecticut, forced-sweat,
continues to sell as fast as it is offered,
and fancy prices are being paid. One lot
of 70 boxes, fine wrappers, went to an
out-of- town manufacturer few days ago
at 60c. The principal inquiry during
the past week has been for Pennsylvania
Broad leaf and old Wisconsin binders
and Bs There appears to be no falling
off in the demand for export grades of
leaf, and several thousand cases have
recently been bought up. The bulk of
the trading in such tobaccos has been
done in the growing sections, although
so ne fair-sized deals have been put
through in this market. The continued
demand causes prices to be firmly main
tained, and goods that generally bring
from to 115c are now selling at from Y
to &c. The tone oil the local market, as
a whole, is fairly active.
Havana Considering the reduced con-
dition of stocks and the consequent high
prices asked. dealings in Havana have
been exceptionally large. Remedies con-
stitutes the bulk of the weeks business.
Among the sales reported were: 583
bales 1898 Vueltas at 90c to 81 4S8 bales
1898 Remedies, second caps, at 80 to soc,
and 300 bales 1898 Remedies, first caps,
at 80 to 90c-all in bond.
Sumatra- Trading in this market con-
tinues to drag, and sales are small and at
close figures. 1t is believed, however,
that the report now coming III from
Amsterdam will have tendency to en-
liven the market, and that the finer
grades of 1897 goods will move more
freely from now on.-Leaf

EDGERToN, WIS, April 7, 1899.
1t is so seldom that April 1stt finds the
tobacco crop of previous year practic-
ally cleaned up that it becomes matter
worth recording. There are plenty of
evidences that the buying season for the
'98 crop is nearly over. Some skirmish-
ing is still going on but the bulk of the
buyers have retired from the field and
are giving their attention to receiving
and handling of former purchases. Pos
sibly the remnants will be gathered in
later but some of the holders will have
to come down in their asking price be-
fore it is moved, or hold the goods
through the sweat.
The only sales coming to notice for the
week are:
A. G. Estes, 14a at 64c.
M. j. O'Molley, 38a at 64c.
Fred Stark, 10a at 6&2c.
Orrin Pomeroy, 1Oa at 5&3c.

There is a good healthy market for
old goods of all descriptions and packers
are all the time disposing Of moderate
sized lots to manufacturers. The liberal
shipments from storage points indicate
that the eastern connections are letting
go of large quantities of Wisconsin and
we learn that fair prices are realized. F.

packing of A. G.. Estes of Madison. Nc
Intosh Bros. report the sale of Goes OF
old leaf and Geo. Rumrill a car load OF
filters to local packer.
The warehouses are still busy handling
bundle leaf and with many of them the
end is not yet in sight. Considerable
tobacco has been weighed up, received
and paid for on the farms to relieve the
crowded condition of the warehouses.
The shipments out of storage reach
20 car loads, 1000 cases, for the week
from this station to all points. Since
last report 850cs of cigar leaf were ex
ported from New York.

JANEsvILLE, Wis, March 81, '99.

Local buyers are still pegging away at
the '90 crop and now many sections are
nearly cleaned up of the weed.
Buyers are still actively buying at
prices that are fully as high as any that
have beenpaid during the buying sea-
son, ranging from 5,to ~ cents. Any
thing that will come within the range of
the above prices will find ready saIe.
The spring season being so near, farm
ers are nearly all inclined to accept the
price offered rather than hold over or
assort themselves The farmers are
getting little uneasy about the weather.
AS the sowing season is near at hand
and the ground is still frozen several
feet deep and no warm days.
Considerable tobacco is being deliv-
cred each week at the warehouses and
more would come in if the buyers had
room to store it.
In old goods better condition pre-
walls and all grades are in demand. Calls
for samples are more frequent than for
some months before and several good
sized lots have been purchased by
eastern dearlers. Farm and Home.
