bonds amounting to So. 401, $50, there are
also S4,500,000 of worlds fair bonds and If
you assume that Chicago is three-fourths
OF Cook county and include 81, 600, 600 of
drainage bonds with the park and town
bonds, also judgments and floating debt,
the total city Indebtedness is approx
nately S35, 600 900. Against this have
in the city alone good assets amounting
to nearly S64, 100000. In this is included
81, 000 900 Of school property, $50 600, 600 in
waterworxs. $1,000 900 in electric light
plants, $500 600 in fire department prop
erty, over 100000 in police depa rtment
property and $500 600 in public library.
I do not think we who have reached
and passed middle age should deliver this
city over to our children finished and paid
for, but should issue a, sufficient number
OF bonds to place substantial bridges
across the river, to remove all Obstruc-
tons in the river, and prepare it for the
United states government, to go on with
its work of dredging. Bonds should also
be issued for the paving of all street in
tersectiOnS, these bonds to be sold the
work progresses. Then, again, I think
it would be a good policy to issue bonds
for the. payment of the judgments now
against the city and upon which the city
is paying high rates of interest.
In the present conditions, the s1tua-
ton from business point of view is this:
The city OF Chicago actually does not re-
celVe enough money from direct taxation
which can be used for strictly corporate
purposes, to pay the police and fire de-
partment alone The deficiency. as we'll
as the vast amount needed for all cOrpOr-
ate purposes, must be made up, as far as
possible, from the receipts from miscel-
laneOuS sources, principally licenses"

Burlingame 10, Fskridge o.

Burlingame, Nov. 27.-Burlingame
met Eskridge on the gridiron here Sat
urday and gave EskFidge her first de-
feat of the season by a score of u
to o. The team from the plains of Wa
baunsee showed miserable form and
could do nothing with the heavy lines
of the home team. Twenty-Five min
ute halves were played and at no time
was the Burlingame goal in danger
While the Burlingame boys made some
very bad fumbleS and lost the ball once
within six inches of a touchdown, they
played all around their opponents and
held the Eskridge line for downs contin-
uOusIy-
Turner made a touchdown in the first
half after twenty minutes of play and
kicked goal. TruebIoOd made another
in the second half and Turner kicked
another goal. Turner, the heavy half
back, Capper and TrueblOOd proved to
be the ground gamers for Burlingame,
the last making sensational return
of a punt Coach Chapman thinks his
team will defeat Ottawa college, with
whom they play Thanksgiving at Bur
lingame. On the Saturday following
they try issues with the Topeka High
school, which school they took into
camp last year. The line up of the
teams Saturday was as follows:

CAPE MONIES SANDS.
Alaskan Tide Lands Reserved to the
United States.

Washington, Nov. 27-An interesting
and important question has arisen in
connection with the discovery of gold
in the sands of Cape Nome Under the
law of congress, passed May IA, 1885,
congress reserves to the United States
all tide lands and naVigable rivers in
Alaska. Governor Brady in his annual
report holds that under this law a min
er can have no right to move the beach
at Cape Nome. Congress had no
thought of the complications which
would ensue through the discovery of
gold in the beach sands. Some new leg
islatiOn to Obviate the difficulty is need
ed. Governor Brady in his report says:
Now, the question is, what shall be
done? There is no telling how many
miles the seashoTe may be prOfitably
worked, either by rockers or machin-
cry 1t is probable the same shore can
be mined profitably for years, as the
surf does it's mighty work in changing
and driving the sands from one posi-
ton to another. We are all concerned
to see that the gold is taken out and
put in circulation, and the beach will
still be none the worse for other pur-
poses; but there should be rules and
regulations to give a man encourage
ment and a certainty of tenure as to the
amount which one applicant could hold
and the length of time. Shores that
can not be worked profitably by miners
with rockers might be made profitable
with proper machinery. Such enter
prises would want, naturally, a good
space of ground. In view of these diff
cultieS, it is suggested as a possible So
luton that the secretary of the inter
ior be authorized to lease the right to
applicants in their order of fling at a.
nominal sum per 100 feet, measured
