THE CITY's FINANCES.


According to n published statement
from Councilman Robertson fully 70
per cent Of the revenues derived from
the tax levy for general purposes OF
this city goes towards the payment Of
interest In city bonds. We do not
question the accuracy Of the figures
presented In support Of this assertion
nor do we dispute the statement that
this city lis in IL serious condition
financially" The paper which publish
ed the statement adds It's approval Of
the exposition. and draws the attention
Of the taxpayers to II and the needs
Of the city in consequence of the situa-
tlon.
About year ago the same paper be-
rated the Deseret News for publishing
figures, officially detailed, which showed
that at least so per cent Of the tax levy
Tor general purposes was going In that
same direction For drawing the at
4. fention Of the taxpayers to the then
SHANGHAI condition Of the city. we were
rallied all kinds Of names by the same
paper, and by some Of the city Of
hcials. An attempt was made to drag
The 'News" into a partisan controversy
over this matter but that signally
failed, for there was in fact no founda-
lion TO the pretense
This Is not a matter Of partisan poll
Tics. The exposition made now is Of
fered by a supporter OF the municipal
administration. II does not matter
what may be said by politicians on
either side as TO the cause Of the sltua-
Zion. II is a sad and serious fact And
the financial condition and needs Of
the city call for economical and wise
measures, that at sometime not very |
FAR distant the city may be eStrlcated |
from the chasm into which it has been |
Plunged. The man or the paper that |
presents the truth is not the enemy Of |
the public or Of the party In power |
but Is rather friend whose voice and |
Warning should be Needed.
II is for the City Council to prescribe
The remedy. That body will have TO
adopt measures IN the proper direction.

OF particular interest Is the fact that

Miss Stone refutes the contention Of
the Turkish government, that II was
her own fault that she was captured.
She Travelled In the daytime and was
captured long before sunset on a road
along which there was an unusual
amount Of travel, on account OF fair
that was held in the place Of her des-
tination. She il rather diplomatic in

responsibility Of the Turkish govern

ands expected to receive.
Miss Stone says her intention Is TO
return TO the country where she had
her unpleasant experience and con-
tlnue her missionary work But she
can hardly expect to be ransomed q
second time, by private effort. The
sentiment here Is strongly In favor Of
the view that a missionary who goes
to country full Of dangers, does so at
his. or her own risk, and should be
willing to sacrifice even life for the
cause. We think, however that the re-
sponsible government should be made
to pay back the money spent in this
instance otherwise brlgandage will be
encouraged. The temptation TO obtain
a fortune In this manner should be
removed for the benefit Of consuls and
Others who have legitimate business in

ernments are held responsible for such
outrages they viii take measures for

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an in1amed con-
dition of the mucus lining of the eusta-
chan tube. When this tube gets inflam-
ed YOU have a rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing: and when it is entirely
closed deafness is the result, and unless
the Inflammation can be be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for

NATIONAL IRRIGATION.
|%%%

EEF
That irrigation works should be
built by the national government,
is subject worthy of special con-
sideration by press and people,
and the West is no more entitled
to the benefits Of such an eXpen-
diture than the South.
It appears that the members of
Congress and the United States
Senators from Alabama usually
strike a popular cord when it
comes to handling subjects Of ma
tional importance. During re-
cent discussion Of the subject con-
corning national irrigation at
Washington, Mr.. Underwood, of
Alabama, argued that the only
method of building up the arid
lands was to provide for their IT.
rigation. The bill would not take
dollar out of the treasury, he
said. 1t would only use the pro-
ceeds from the sale of lands in
each State for the benefit of such
State.
The only objection we could
urge against the bill would be
that it provides for irrigation in
the Western States only, as we are
we'll aware Of the fact that mil
lions of acres Of land in the South
ern States could be reclaimed and
millions of dollars added to the
South's revenue through a good
system of irrigation.
We have no objection to the re-
clamation of the 72,O00,000 acres
of arid lands in the West, but
want the South or North, either,
to be included in the provisions of
national irrigation bill.
