faithfully working.

lars in public improvements, as we'll as
millions in private property. 1t would
be difficult to secure an accurate estl-
mate of the amounts the city lost in
revenues, by reason of the destruction
of property, as we'll as the impOverish-
ing of many people to an extent which
left them unable to pay taxes. The
city was bonded for the full amount
allowed under the State law, which de-
fines the bond-issung powers of cities,
all municipal bonds having to have the
approval of the Attorney General be-
fore they are legal.
In addition to the bankruptcy which
followed the storm, Galveston, like
many other cities, had been governed
by what is known as ring rule for years,
and was. prior to the devastation, Dor
rowing money or issuing script to meet
current expenses, while issuing bonds
as fast as the law allowed for perma-
nent Improvements.
Under commission form of govern
ment, Galveston has been able to repair
the storm damage, meet all liabilities
as they have fallen due, and assist in
the construction of a vast system OF
safeguards against similar calamltles.
At the same time the city is paving
streets and making other Improvements
out of the current revenue. In addition
to this good showing the tax rate has
been reduced % per cent. this year.
Galveston now pays taxes at the rate
of $3.50 on 500 valuation.
Houston, with an assessment roll
nearly double that of Galveston, pays
taxes at the rate of 81 on each 500
valuation, has a bonded debt of more
than So, O00, 00O and a floating debt of
about $1,000
Washington, ID. c., affords another
illustration of government by commits
sion. For years it had a city govern
ment, consisting of mayor, aldermen,
council, etc, but when negro suffrage
prevailed the annual elections became
so costly and otherwise Objectionable
that municipal government was abaD-
doned Congress then gave to the Dis
trict of Columbia a territorial govern
ment, which called for the election of a
legislature and a delegate to Congress.
That was i'll the days of Boss Shep-
pard," who was, we believe, the first
Governor This territorial government
was short-lved aid went out like a tai
low candle. leaving bad odor. Wash
ington has since been governed by three
commissioners appointed by the Presi
dent and confirmed by the Senate, and
it is provided that one of these commits
sioners shall be an officer of the [. S
Engineer Corps. This has proved q
very satisfactory form Of government,
without the slightest suspicion of graft,
of which we hear so much in other
cities. The residents of Washington
are of course deprived of suffrage, but
most of the officials and large number
of the government employees retain
their residences in their respective
States ana go home to vote.

should match the costume. The

airy fabric, and oftentimes huge bow

THE CHOICE
in shade hats is very great. Leghorns
lead, but Tuscans and chips also have
their devotees. The large sailor shape
is in great favor, and ruchings set
around the crown, with white plumage
at one side, is a simple yet pretty garni-
ture. With this style of hat long
wells will be very much worn, of either
figured or plain chiffon. For Leghorns
or Tuscans, roses are the trimming of
all others, and in the former brims are
manipulated to suit the wearer. Love-
ly hats, also in sailor shape, are of soft
Liberty silk or silk null, shirred and
ruffled in every possible way; a double
rutfie usually finishing the edge.

called travelling cloaks) made of
