HOW IT HAPPENED.
There is no chance about such cures. If only
a few persons had been benefited it might be
said that they had exaggerated their danger or
had only been suffering from some common
ailment. But when the cured are numbered by
thousands; when the doctors diagnosis was
consumption; when every symptom bore out
that diagnosis-weakness. emaciation, bleeding
of the Iungs-and these sufferers were perfectly
and permanently cured by the use of DIR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, it must be
concluded that these cures are not of chance,
but due to the healing power of a great remedy
for coughs, weak lungs bronchitis. and like dis
eases, which if neglected unskilfully treated,
find a fatal termination in consumption.

TWO CHOICES FOR MAYOR.
NINE THOUSAND MEN WHO HAVE VOTED
IN THE TRIBUNE CANVASS HAVE
NOT NAMED A SECOND MAN.

II is curious fact that out of over twenty
three thousand men who have expressed their
ideas below as to the best nominee for Mayor,
nine thousand have not thought it worth while
to write the name of the second best man from
their point OF view.
The friends of Mr.. Low Mr. Coler, Judge
Crane Judge Blanchard, Mr.. Hopper and some
others have quite generally indicated their
serious interest in this canvass by naming sec
ond choices No doubt those who do not do
this are inspired by loyalty to their candidates.
They do not want consider that anybody else
possibly get the nomination. But that is
not quite public spirited Every one is asked
hereafter to take great pains to name second
choice.
Some of the strongest men on the list below
have more second than first choice votes. Frank
Brainard Controller Coer Mr.. Crimmins Mr..
Fairchild, Hugo Kanzer Mr. Orr and eX-Mayor

all counting of noses as The Tribune canvass
affords opportunity for, it is almost valu-
able to stand this way in the voting any
other. 1t is hardly necessary to explain why.

A BILL TO GIVE TO STATE CONTROLLER
THE LENDING OF STATE FUNDS

Albany, Jan. u CSpeeiaD.-A bill whose provisions
in accord with the recommendations of the
State Controller in his annual report and which is
intended to check the irresponsible waste Of State
moneys by the Loan Commissioners. was intro
duced in the Assembly to-day by Mr. Weekes of
New-York
The present law, which went into effect in 1Ss8
and which the Controller asks TO have amended
provides that the Loan Commissioners. two for
each s1ounty in the State receive from the Con-
troller sums Of money from the United States
Deposit Fund. This fund amounts to about 81 800
900, and deposited by the United States with
the State Of New-York in 1895. be held in trust
by the State and loaned its citizens as the State
saw ht.
Through the carelessness Of many of the Loan
Commissioners money has been loaned on worth
less securities that the amount Of money lost
each year 10 the State almost cancels the interest
from the rest of the fund. The total receipts
from the Loan Commissioners last year amounted
TO s5765 &c. whereas the loss under foreclosure of
mortgages amounted $50 BOB a. leaving an actual
net revenue to the State Of only s2,41 go The
State is almost 100000 I'm arrears as regards
the whole fund The bill of Mr. weekes proposes
TO abolish the Loan Commissioners and put the
whole fund IT before the law Of ls9S in the
hands OF the State Controller, who may invest the
moneys in city and town bonds, and other securi-
ties which assured against loss In his report
the Controller says:
The Controllers investments in bonds benefit a
much larger portion of the population than do the
reason that the entire community is interested I'm
having bonds issued for local improvements at a
low rate OF interest, while the mortgages only
benefit the individuals who secure the loan.
The only plea for the existing law, IT is said IS
that i affords widespread patronage which is
