THE TALK OF THE DAY.

A German who had worked for years as
a journeyman barber and saved enough to
go into business for himself abandoned the
razor and shears and opened q saloon on
the lower East Side. Business did not come
up to his expectations, the brewery bills
were larger than he had expected and re-
ceipts smaller, and he was pining for the
days of lather and shave, when the idea oc-
CURED to him that it might be we'll to mix
a little of the old business with the new.
A barber's chair was placed in the rear OF
the room behind a fancy screen; a red,
white and blue sign of the conventional
kind was hung outdoors. and the barber
shop-saloon soon began to do more busi-
ness. The proprietor now says that he will
soon have TO enlarge But / can't make
out" he says, whether / need more bar
ber chairs pinochle tables. MY custom
ers play cards and drink beer while they
walt their turn. II get more chairs they
will not have 10 wait so long It's a hard
question"

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Is II an actual fact that Mr.. Ban
nard's name was thought of in place
where you can get a good meal any timer
This is the worst thing said about Mr. BAN
nard. What a piece of political nonsense
No one can say a word against Barnard.
He stands so high above the other samples
of political ambition that he is not to be
thought OF I'm the same class with Mr..
Hearst or Mr.. Gaynor.
II Is the first campaign where we have
had square issue, and Barnard will get
10000 majority II MIR. Parsons and Mr..
Bennett keep right on and ignore the out
side issues. Let us have a business admin

"BEELZEBUBBING."

Speaker Cannon seems to he eniovine
himself out in the rural districts of Mi
nois. He loves a fight and thrives on
hard knocks and hurtling epithets. He
has at least the humOr to see himself as
many of his enemies see him. To his
audience at Elgin he exclaimed. throw
ing aside the lapels of his statesman's
black frock coat and fitting his head far
back: Behold Mr.. Cannon, the Beelze-
'bub of Congress. Gaze on this noble
manly form-me, Beelzebub; me. the
Gear"
The Speaker takes some of the sting
out of the charges brought against him
as a legislative autocrat by exaggeratlnr
them. That is a wise policy for him. H..
is more convincing when picturesquely
burlesquing the oppositon's lurid idea
Of him than he is when posing as

heart the Speaker knows that that pose
is as artificial as the opposltlon's presen-

COURTESY DUE TO DENMARK.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: The writer is not partisan Of DIR.
Cook. but. having great respect for Dem
mark. is impressed by the favor that coun-
try shows him.
1t appears that the highest and most re-
spectacle dignitaries in the state and the
schools. after examination of the ex-
plorer's credentials. have given him cordial
recognition, and the University of Copen-
hagen. peculiarly well qualified to Judge,
has solemnly conferred upon him one OF it's
most distinguished honors. Those eminent
people are honorable in the sight of the
world, and our self-respect requires US to
treat them with Difference.
Is it. then, fair. Just or courteous for
Americans to decry DR.. Cook. and was it
not discOurteous for the National Geo
graphic Society TO ask the University of
Copenhagen to concede TO 1t the first ex-
animation of DR.. Cooks data?
The manners that obtain among gentle
men should leave the question to be settled
between Or. Cook and the University of
Copenhagen first. trusting that then the
evidence will be made public. with the de-
cision, for universal Judgment

LIGHT ON CITY FINANCES.

Wasteful and extravaGant eXpendl-
lures have enormously increased the
city's debt in the last three or four
wears. Prevailing methods in the con-
duct of the city's finances have also not
only largely contributed to the debt bur-
den. but have greatly increased the an
nuaI interest charges upon the city's
bonded Indebtedness. The extent To
which this has been the case is not
known 10 the taxpayers and the general
public. because the officially published
records effectively becloud the signih-
Cance of the facts.
The Tribune publishes to-day the first
of a series of articles which have been
prepared for the purpose of discovering
the actual truth behind the published
records Every statement made and
every condition described is based upon
facts and figures taken from the f1nan
cial statements of the Controller and
the City Chamberlain. A thorough eX-
animation into the conduct of the city'S
finances for the last three years has dis
closed conditions which demand serious
consideration.
The Tribune will show, among other
things, that the charter provisions su-
thorizing the Controller to borrow money
each year for budget purposes by the
sale of revenue bonds, issued in anticipa-
tiOn of Tho collection of taxes, have been
abused. On millions Of dollars of these
securities sold in excess of the limit pre-
scribed in the charter, according to the
reasonable Interpretation of that instru-
ment, the taxpayers are paying interest
at an abnormal rate for terms of two
and three years. The increase of ST.
752, ,T32 in the amount paid out for in
terest on revenue bonds last year over
and above the amount paid out for the
same purpose during the previous twelve
months is the price the taxpayers have
been compelled to pay in a single year
for this practice, and that price will not
only be larger this year. but unless con-
ditions are speedily remedied serious in-
jury will be done to the city's credit as
well.
In the carefully prepared series of
articles of which the first appears to-
day The Tribune will give to the public
the results of an investigation that has
had as its only object a sincere desire TO
get at the truth. Every statement made
will be supported in detail by facts and
figures taken from the official records.
Those facts will he presented in such
manner that they will be easily under
stood, and the public may thus be able
to form its own conclusions as to the
manner in which the city's finances have
been administered during the last three
years.
