THE CIrY,S FINANCES.

The vote of the city council toindeii-
nitely postpone consideration of the
proposed occupation ordinance, was
not unexpected as there is little doubt
that the majority sentiment of the
town was opposed to the passage of
the ordinance as it was. drawn.
1t would he great mistake. howev-
er, to infer that the people are opposed
to the public improvements for which
the money sought to he raised 10y this
ordinance was to pay. The people
want water-works, they want good
ones, and they want them right away.
They know too that they will cost
money, and they are willing to pay
the price. When, therefore, Il con-
tract is made for the construction of
water system, and when the exact
amount of the annual cost to the city
of such system is made known, there
is no doubt at all that the business
men, the professional men and proper.
ty holders generally will join cordial
~ with the council to devise some wise
and equitable mode OF providing the
funds. When that time comes the
REGISTER believes that an invitation
on the part of the council to the bust
ness men of the city to meet with them
for frauk and informal discussion OF
ways and means, would result in the
adoption of some plan that would be
generally satisfactory and would be
cordially acquiesced in.
The only trouble with Lila finances
is that our city has grown faster than
its income. The trouble that now con-
fronts US is but passing cloud, it is
not permanent eclipse. We find our
selves forced by a crowding population
to do in year or two the work of pub
lie improvement that would ordinarily
be spread over ten or fifteen years. 1t
is a condition that should cheer rath-
er than discourage us, for ii means
that we have gained in few months
what other towns Struggle for years
to attain, 1t is temporary embarrass-
ment only, and all that is required tC

little good humor and little level.

AGUINALD0'S GOVERNMENT AND
ARMY.

From Some Phases ofthe Philippine Stu
alton by John Barrett, in the American
Monthly Review OF Review, for Julyl
The government which was organ
lied by Aguinaldo at Cavite and con-
tinued first at Bakor and later at
Malolos developed into a much more
elaborate affair than its most ardent
supporters had originally expected.
BY the middle of October, 1898, ne
had assembled at Malolos congress
of 100 men who would compare in
behavior, manner, dress and educa-
tion with the average man of the bet
ter classes of other \ siatic nations,
possibly including the japanese.
These men, whose sessions ! repeat
eddy attended, conducted themselves
with great decorum and showed Il
knowledge of debate and parliament
tary law that would not compare
unfavorably with the japanese Par
lament. The executive portion of the
government was made up of minis
try of bright men who seemed to UNI
derstand their respective positions.
Each general division was subdivided
with reference To practical work.
There was large force of under-s &C.
retaries and clerks, who appeared TO
be kept very busy with routine labor
The army, however, of Aguinaldo
was the marvel of his achievements,
He had over 20 regiments of compare
lively well-organized, well-drilled,
and well-dressed soldiers, carrying
modern rifles and ammunition.

every family had a father, son or
cousin in il. Wherever they went
they reused enthusiasm for the Fill

upon the inhabitants of the interior
by such displays can be readily APP

cipal lieutenants also made frequent
visits to the principal towns and were
received with the same earnestness
that we show in gree ting a successful

Along with the army there was a
Red Cross association, at the head OF

district Judge S%idmore Decides Against "A
Kansas Law THAT shut out Non-
Authorized Companies.

Columbus, Kan, June 2S.-Thc insur-
aucc law passed by the last Kansas
legislature, which prohibited person
insuring his property in company not
to do business in Kansag,
was declared unconstitutional by Judge
Stidmore. The decision was made in

John X. Williams. Williams is lum-
Der dealer of Galena. He was arrested
recently for violating the law passed
by the last legislature. This law
prohibited a person insuring in COM
pany unauthorized to do business in
Kansas, and provided that in the event
one did insure with n company not so
authorized the contract would be taxed
in IA sum equal to ten per cent. of the
amount of premium paid or contracted
tC be paid; and such tax became lien
on the property so insured. 1t was the
insured who had to pay this tax. Will

cision wins out.

Correcting Some Wild Talk.

In a little note to the editor of the

sion to correct some foolish things
that some of the boys have written

the papers. 1t seems that somebody
who had it in for Co. tine lola Com

that this Company had to be kick
