Board of Finance Votes Not to Transfer
from Contingent Fund.

The present indications are that there
will be no public band concerts on the
city squares this summer if the expense
for them must come from the city treas
ury. The special committee appointed
from the boards of aldermen and coun-
cilmen to confer with the board of
finance and secure if possible a transfer
of $500 from the contingent fund to pay
for band concerts, appeared before the
board of finance yesterday afternoon.
Controller Rowe stated that the contin-
gent fund was running low and that
there was a probability that before the
end of the year it would be necessary to
ask for the transfer of money from
some other accounts to the contingent
account He said that he did not see
how $500 for concerts or any other pur-
pose not absolutely necessary could be
spared from the contingent fund. 1t is
eaid that this fund has been encroached
upon greatly during the first six months
of the year by the payment of damages
to satisfy judgments against the city
and by hire of attorneys besides the cor
poration counsel, to conduct suits in
which the city has been interested.
In executive session the board of
finance voted not to transfer the money
asked for to provide band concerts.
When the estimates were made at the
beginning Of the year it was generally
understood by those interested in pro-
viding for concerts that the board of
finance had included in the contingent
fund estimate $500 for that purpose
When the committee of the common
council met to hold hearing on the es-
Inmates. at that time alderman, now
City Clerk Norris, appeared and sug-
gested that 5000 be taken from the es-
Inmates for the contingent fund and set
aside under the item band concerts. Al
member of the board of finance was
present at the meeting and stated that
such action was unnecessary saying
that whenever the common council vot
ed to have band concerts the board of
finance would have no objection to
transferring the money needed from the
contingent fund.
FINALLY when the estimates came up
before the common council for action,
the aldermen did change the estimates
by placing $500 under the band concert
account. The councilmen did not con-
cur, however, and so there was no ac-
ton providing definitely for band con-
certs.
Two bills were before the board of
finance for approval yesterday from DIR.
Grove and DIR. Phelps, city physicians
for examining poor people as to their
sanity. Some question arose as to
whether the examinations were made
under orders from the probate court and |
the bills We're turned over to the city |
clerk to ascertain if the examinations |
were made by order of the probate court |
If it is found that they We're the bills |
will be approved

DEMOCRATS DONE FOR
Political Oblivion the Portion of tn e
INSTRUCTORS of National
proErcss.

The senatorial dcadlocks in Della
ware and Pennsylvania, where I'M
doubtedly republicans ultimately will
be elected, make but two places to be
filed in the representation from the
territory lying east of the Mississippi
and north of the Ohio in the new United
States senate which will take Office on
the 18th of March.
In this entire territory there will be
after the 4th of March not a single
democratic United States senator. This
great territory, which contains by the
census of 1890, IS, 4S5,726 population out
of the 61,00S,00G population in The
United States and n far greater proper
ton of the wealth of the country, was
always republican, but never before in
the history of the United States has
one political party in the upper branch
of congress monopolizeGitsr representa-
ton. There must be cause for this
remarkable regeneration, and il is not
hard to find. The majority of the peo-
pie of this portion of the country are
given over 10 a practical rather than a
y
happiness, and in the republican party
is seen the only possible chance for sta
bility in the government at Washing
ton. The people of this portion OF the
country, however, in spite of their re-
publicanism-much of it newly ac-
quircd-are intensely critical and hold
the republican party and the men whom
that party places in Office to strict
accountability for their public acts.
1t probably will be some years be-
fore another democrat sits in the SEN
ate TO represent portion of any state
in this great stretch of country from
New Brunswick to the Mississippi.
That party has itself alone to blame.
1t has set itself against progress in
business and against honesty in our
currency, and those democrats who
hereabouts discard the platform of their
party are insignificant in its councils.
helpless to steer their political craft
away from the political oblivion in
which il soon will be submerged.-Al-
bany Journal.
