At the last session of the city coun.
Gil Mayor Donald was authorized to
borrow $4,000, to meet current ex-
penses of the city government, the
larger portion of this fund being for
the purpose of defraying the public
school expenses.
This fall there has been borrowed
by the city from local banks the
amount of eighteen thousand dollars,
all of which funds will be repaid short
ly after February first, when tax col.
lections begin to come in.
This, it is said. is not an unusual
occurrence, as each year the council
is compelled at this time to borrow
money to meet current expenses of

Was Like, Declares Northern
Presbytery.


Special to The Netos.
Cincinnati, Ohio. Dec. 21.-So dis
gusted were the members of the Gin
cinnati Presbytery when they met
here and heard recital of the results
of the past year at the colored Pres
byterian churches that they voted to
give the negroes a lease on Carmel
Presbyterian church (colored), and
then if it can't pay for itself, to wipe
it off the slate. For many years they
have been paying money to keep up
this church, and today learned that
an average of eight souls a year had
been saved in the annual payment of
more than 100000. Then they got
mad, each one got up and took a crack
J at the colored people, and ended the
session by cutting off all this local
aid.
Il do not believe in pouring money
into a rat hole" said DR.. George d.
Mccullough, a member of the presby-
terry I'm our experience as Presby-
terians nothing has given us as little
cause for satisfaction as our work
among the colored people. Therefore
| would not vote to give another dol

three-year lease and put them on
their metal; if they fail take the church
away from them and wipe off the
slate Those of them who care will
not die without salvation, for the Bap.

will take them up. Why, gentlemen

KNEW WHEN HE WAS HAPPY.

The soul Of an editor who died
Of starvation was being conducted to
the Elysian fields. As they passed
the portals of the Internal regions,
he asked his guide if he might not
go in and look around. The guide
consented, but warned him to stay
only a few minutes, as he could not
wait long.
A long time passed, and the editor
had not returned so the guiding an
gel went in search Of him. He
found him before a cage in which a
number of doomed wretches were
being toasted on red-hot griddles.
Over the cage was the sign "Delin-
quent Subscribers"
Come said the guide; "we must
be going"
Don't wait for me-" replied the
editor, "I'm not coming. This is

w.s Locked Lpen as Money
ir ire South.

In colonial times, and indeed after
the independence of the United
States had been established. tobacco
was legal tender in the southern
states. Thus in Maryland and Vir-
GINA all government fees and taxes
were payable in tobacco until 1906,
when federal money was substituted.
But in the meantime the District of
Columbia had been coded to the fed
eral government, with such laws as
were in force there, unless specifcal-
ly altered by congress. So. as a con-
sequence of the pressure of other
work and interests upon congress, to-
bacco remained legal tender in the
District of Columbia until recent
times. As late as 1888 the fees of
the clerk of the supreme court, for
example, in any transaction where
the federal government was itself a
party, were still appraised in pounds
of tobacco and settled at the treasury
by the old standard of valuation. 1t
is possible that there remain some
exceptional fees overlooked bv on
gress which may still be settled in
tobacco.
