THE PROOF or VIE DEBT puDD1N,

THE PROOF OF VIE DEBT PUDDING.
The people of this city will wildly
recall the election a year or so ago at
which the ring proposition to refund
the city debt for a period of ten years
was wisely Overwhelmingly voted
down by them.
The ring, it will be remembered, had
squandered the funds of the city at
such rate that they found themselves
without funds or with barely enough
to get along with by strictest economy,
which the ringsters are not accustom-
ed to-. So, in order to get their fingers
deeper into the city treasury, the ring
made the proposition to stop payment
on the principal of the city debt for a
period Of ten years by refunding ord
nance, which delightful little scheme
would give them the money to spend
in their pet schemes that otherwise
would have gone toward reducing the
citys debt.
After hot campaign, in which the
Register fought the ring singlehanded
the people won and the refunding
scheme was knocked in the head. And
the city has since gone ahead, by the
way, without any of the dire mishaps
the ringsters and their Fourteenth
street organ predicted if Their scheme
was defeated.
Now, the wisdom of the people has
been amply proven in the showing re-
garding the payments made on the
city debt in the year 1898, just closed,
during which some thirty thousand
dollars was paid ON the principal of
the bonded debt and thirteen thousand
dollars of balance on the stone bridge
that had been in litigation, making in
all some $4,000 of the city debt paid
off and the annual interest charge
thereon stopped for good,
Thus are incontrovertible proofs of
the wisdom of the people and the I'M
wisdom of the ring already adduced
and made plain to all.
Had the rings proposition to re-
fund the city debt carried, we would
to-day be owing as much and paying
as much interest charge as we did a
year ago, and ten years hence we
would be owing the same old sum, al
though in that time we would have
paid nearly the entire debt over
again in interest charges, while a mil
lion dollars would not have suficed to
clear the city's books.
This instance furnishes a fair ex-
ample of ring methods of financiering.
Those methods consist simply in
spending all the money the ring can
get hold of and then resorting to some
such eXpedient as this refunding
scheme and, in case of failure there,
increasing the tax assessment as they
have since done in numerous instances
in this city-anything, in fact, to
gouge more money out of the already
overburdened taxpayer.
Thanks to defeat of the refund
ing scheme, however, the city is now
in fair shape so far as it's city debt is
concerned, the prospects being excel
lent for the city being out of debt en-
tirely by the time the first payment on
the refunded debt would have fallen
due under the refunding arrangement!
This city wants no more ring finan-
ciering. No more ring government.

New York stock exchange for 1898 were

Jerome, Ariz.. and the railroad leading
to Jerome Junction from the works.
United States Senator William A. Clark

be frozen out in the reorganization. and
have taken these means to block the
deal. The was organized under
the laws of this state in 1883. but as the
governing corporations became
more severe. it was advisable to give up
the New York charter. Out of 300. 900
shares. the holders of 299, O00 voted to dis
solve the as a New York cor
poration. To this end the property will
be sold but will be bought in by the ma

poration under the laws of West Nir-

The new suit to turn the property over
to a receiver threatens to upset the re-
organization scheme, and involve the
property in long litigation. The mine is
one of the largest producers of copper in
the United States.

some apprehension on the part Of the
county attorney in regard to the result
of prosecuting forgers. In Judge Clam
cy's court this morning c. P. Connolly,
the county attorney, mentioned the case
of the state against l.. G. Livingston,
who is in Jail awaiting trial for having
passed a worthless check on the Mon
tana Iron works. He said the defend
ant was wanted in Utah for forgery n
the authorities there had once secured
requisition papers for his return to that
state, but Silver Bow county at that time
had not felt justified in separating itself
from him Continuing, Mr.. Connolly
further said:
I'VE are unable to prove in this trans
action that these parties had money in
the bank and it will do us no good to
go to trial. My object in speaking or 1t
is to give the Utah officers an oppor-
tunity to come and get him.
A date for Livingston's trial has not
been set. and it is not likely that any
