THE CITY IS RESPONSIBLE.

The Inter Mountain Republican
says:
"When an investigation is started
into the way in which the special i'm
provements funds have been handled,
it will be seen that the city officials
have violated the law and have plac-
ed holders of the warrants in an en-
barassing position,
''When a special warrant drawing
per cent interest, was issued against
a piece of property the warrant was
turned over by the city to the con-
tractor in payment of his work. When
the property owner came into the
treasurer with the money, the warrant
was taken up by the city, and the
money, with interest, paid to the con-
tractor.
"That, in effect, is the system of
handling the city warrants.
"But there has been instances
where property owners have gone to
the treasurer, short time after the
issuance of the warrant against their
property, and have paid the principal
to the treasurer. They have not
paid the per cent interest.
"Now, when the contractor goes
to the treasurer with his warrant and
demands that it be redeemed, he will
be paid the principal, without inter
est, because the city has not held up
its end of the agreement to collect the
interest.
"As result of this faulty system
of handling special moneys, the con-
tractor must lose the interest. He
gets nothing for taking a warrant in
stead of real cash. He is paid moth
ing for waiting for his money. 1t is

assembled together for lawful pur-
poses. On the slightest provocation
they fly at each others threats and
even those who play the part of UNI
pire seem powerless to restrain them.
That the republicans do things has
again been forcefully demonstrated
by the way they took hold of the flu
sion movement and carried it through
despite the walls, lamentations, pro-
testations and appeals of those who
are conducting the democratic cam
paign. In the first instance the re-
publicans proposed fusion of all good,
we'll meaning citizens for the pur-
pose of overthrowing t,e gang Of
grafters who have the municipality
by the throat.
The hitherto acknowledged demo-
cratic leaders such as Messrs w. H.
King, o. w. Powers, James H. Moyle
end others opposed it most strenu-
ously Ashby Snow and few 9th
ers took the opposite tack and fav-
ored fusion. The rank and file of
the party supported Mr.. Snow and
fusion on the councilmanic end of the
tickets was agreed upon between the
republicans and democrats with Mr..
Snow and his aids representing the
democrats. Chairman Snow, MIR. Fern
strom and others, then took, it into
their heads to play foxy game. They
Eeld off concentrating the fusion
agreement for the purpose of fore
ing the republicans to sacrifice the
head of their ticket, DR.. Plummer, in
favor of Mr. Morris, the democratic
mayoralty nominee. For couple of

The republicans becoming convinced
of this and realizing that the public

took the bull by the horns and effect

democratic managers, relying on the
patriotism and good sound sense of

Impetus Furnished by Return of
More Favorable Weather for
One Thing.
BUYERS FROM THE COUNTRY
High Prices DO Not Deter Placing of
Large Orders with City Houses
Collections Backward Due tn
big business and Money
Scarcity.

New York, March 1--Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
Trade has improved all around, the i'm
petus being furnished by the return of
more favorable weather, the presence of
country merchants in leading markets,
and the near approach of the Easter holt
days. House trade has been more active
and in such liEes as cotton, dry goods,
dress goods, and wuolens. High prices do
not deter the placing of large orders. In
terror merchants report stocks quite low
and money plentiful. Moreover the recent
cold snap permitted dealers in heavy
wearing apparel to work off stocks that
promised to become burdensome.
Manufacturing is active the country
over and finished lines of iron and steel
are as brisk "a heretofore, though pig iron
markets are quiet Winter wheat returns,
are not 50 favorable. Shipments of
fertilizers to southern points are heavier
and largely increased average will be
planted to cotton.
Collectors are somewhat backward
owing partly to delayed deliveries, part
~ to the immense volume of business be-
ing carried on and partly to the COM
paratve scarcity of money.
Business failures for the week number

PLACE LIBERAL ORDER.
Dry Goods and Millinery in Active De-
mand for Spring.

Now York, March 1.-R. G.. Run ~ CO.. >
weekly review of trade tomorrow will
say:
Jobbing trade III dry goods and millinery
for spring distribution continues the
most active commercial feature, a large
attendance of country buyers placing
liberal orders at the leading centers and
it is the exception when transactions are
not equal to those of a year ago. while
substantial gains are often recorded.
Leading industries have orders GOVERN e
full production many months in advance,
steel mills falling further behind with de-
liveries because of new business greater
than their daily output.
Scarcity Of cotton goods in primary
markets Is responsible for another GER
eral advance in prices and shipments of
footwear were greater than in the same
week last year The only adverse feature
in the outlook Is the discussion of wage
scales that weekly appear about this sea-
son, but no extensive struggle is i'm
minent. Foreign trade at this post for the
last week shows galr of 81, $40 269 in ex-
ports and 10. of 81, l26,S57 in imports as
compared with last years movements.
Collections improved, but are still slow in
some sections, on account of high money
rates which are not materially affected
by the liquidation of stocks nor the pro-
gress of legislation for relief.
Failures this week in the United States
were 224 against 23s last year and il,
Canada Il against Al last year.
