sessments, 100000; U. S. deposit
money, 100000 leaving S92 500 90 to
be raised by taxation.
The committee on water reported
on the matters referred to them at
the last meeting. They favored 20
cent hydrant tax, the Installing Of
meters at most of the stone sheds and
polishing mills, and in the blocks.
They also reported some changes in
water rent rates, and recommended
the cutting down of the rates at the
beginning of the last half of the year,
after the hydrant tax has been asses
sed. Patterson and Mann did not fa-
vor some parts Of the report, but 1t
was finally accepted and adopted, and
a resolution was passed resembling all
previous resolutions relating to the
water rent rates, and embodying the
recommendation of the report.
About $3.50 o'clock Fred Bruce sud-
denly appeared before the council, and

He said 1t was also locked Saturday

Gil investigate the matter and see If
the agent could not be obliged to at
tend to bis duties. Some discussion
followed and 1t was stated that com.
plants similar to the one made by
Mr.. Bruce, have been Of frequent oc-
curence lately. A resolution was tin-
ally passed putting the matter in the
hands of the liquor committee, with
instructions to confer with the County
Commissioner and see if the agent can
not be made to be at his office during
Office hours.

OF the many protests that have been
called forth by Senator Hanna's greedy
scheme for giving bounty to the
Griscom line of steamers and its afiil-
lated concerns. that contained in a re-
cent editorial of the New York Evening
Post Is perhaps at once the most con-
else and most comprehensive. In its
usual lncisive style The Post points
out how the bill evades its ostensible
object of aiding the expectation Of
American products, which could OBJ
viously be best attained by making
the subsidy earned contingent on the
amount of cargo carried, and how the
so called cargo amendment intro
duced avowedly to accomplish this OBJ
ject, is a most transparent sham, be-
cause of the little joker contained. al
lowing a charter of space by the year
to be substituted for the actual carry
ing of cargo. Passing to the matter
Of wages, it shows how neatly the pro-
vision on its face designed to insure
the employment of Americans as sea-
men is completely nullified by the con-
dition that II Americans cannot
reasonably be obtained" this pro-
vision Is to be waived. In other
words, II they will not compete at the
lowest current rate of wages. the ship
owners who are being subsidized are
left free to exercise the right under
the revised statutes to engage their
crews In foreign ports for a round
voyage, as the commissioner of naviga-
ton. one of the advocates of the bill,
has admitted that 1t Is already their
practice to do now.
On the question of speed there Is a
special bonus for fast passenger ships
on the theory that such vessels would
be available for use in war : one of
the most Objectionable features of the
bill. by the way. as it makes its greatest
benefits go to the boats carrying least
cargo. But here The Post calls attention
to the fallacy of this provision, as 1t is
based not On actual performances. but
on trial trip Of six hours, compari-
son that every one knows to be perfect
ly ridiculous. Finally the similarity to
a bunko scheme is clearly shown Of the
provision In regard to admitting for
eign built vessels to subsidy privileges
that only such vessels shall be eligible
as were owned by or under construc-
ton for Americans prior to Feb. l,
1899. thus limiting this advantage in
the most shameless way to the little
clique that have concocted this meas
ure and to that extent forbidding all
other Americans from competition with
them.

Ward For Aldermen.

This is an off year politically, but over
in the first ward they hardly realize the
fact. There is a red hot political con-
test over in the first all about an alder
manic vacancy.
At he next meeting of the board of al
dermen successor is to be chosen to

resignation at the last meeting of the
board. There are several candidates for
the vacancy, but the two who seem to
have the lead are A. Dughi and w. H.
Blalock. The friends of both gentlemen
are active in their behalf, and the con-
test is being viewed with great deal of
interest.
The aldermen caucus next week and
make a selection to fill the vacancy.
