"Tbo real reason that the council refused to ct tbo contiacts for slrongthenln ? and widening the old levee was not'/ecause ' theio , \cio reisons to believe tbo electric motor company wanted H for selfish purposes , " said tMilcrnun Wood jesteiduy , "Tho chief reason \\as \ th.it the aldermen had looltcd up tbo matter and felt sntlsllod that if they oidcred the expenditure of Ss.OJU or $10,009 iown thcro they would bo eventually called upon to foot the largest share of tbo amount. The law Is as plain ns can bo , nnd Ifvo hacl one ahead \\o would have ran against a very largo sized snag that would have sell- ously rendcd our llnancial crafts.

The law plainly indicates the course to be tnltcn. It is piuely county woik and comes tinder tbo exclusive jurisdiction of the bo.nd of supervisors. The law piosc-rihes the course to bo taken in such cases , and directs that thepcoplo who desiie such Improvements shall petition the co-inty board , nnd if their petition is considered the board is required to send its engineer to examine and report upon ttio work , and It must then bo lot , the same ns any other countv % vork It is the duty of Ihe boird then to as sess the cost lo the property that will bo bcnellttcd , and the assessments will bo paid ns countv taxes and will not show upon the books as city luxes.

But seven senators were present at 10 o'clock when the senate was called to order. After the lapse of thico-quurtcrs of nn houraquoriiin appeared. A communication from the secretary of the ' rcasury asking 'for an nppioprlatlon of < . " > 0IX)0 , ) for the repair of the govcrumcn at Chicago was laid before the sou * Mil. Keferrcd. The tnornlng business having bcca con- luilcd , the senate reiumed consideration of he financial bill and was addressed by Mr. 1'ellcr. Mr. Teller said he supposed the landers that have been perpetrated for the ast eight or ten months would bo renewed at least outside of this chamber ) to the effect hat the friends of frco coinage of silver had intcrcd into au alliance with the opponents f the election bill for Its defeat In retiirn for heir votes In favor of f roe coinage. There over was a more unfounded slander pub- ished than this. Mr. Teller proceeded to rltlciso Mr. Sherman's speech , which , ho leclurcd , consisted of nothing but nn assor- ion as to what would follow the passage of ho pending bill , The senator from Ohio luddcclnicd that the country was on a gold msls , The senator hod attempted to put thot lountry on that basis , but bad boon unublo o do so. The senator had a wonderful acuity of being on all sides of nil Inanclal questions. Hoferring to the coiuli- ion of American formers , and showing It to bo less piospcrous than that of the fanners of ° ramc , Jlr Teller said that the farmers of America made themselves heard last Novcm- ier to his regret and to the regret of the cnators on his side of the chamber. They itivo been found voting almost unanimously vith the democratic party. Whvl They had lot changed their politics. Hut they had be- omeillssntlstled with the lepublicau miuv moment of llnancitil allairs , and for ono ho lid not wonder ut It. Ho had tried last rear to have the senate listen to .heir voices. Ho know they wanted frco coinage of silver. Proceeding to discuss th.it section of the bill providing for the pur chase of * U,000OW of silver , Mr. Teller s.iid iu washed tils hands of 11113' responsibility 'or that. Ho had no interest orsjmpatliy for ncn who speculated iuslKer Ho denied any uiou ledge of the alleged silver piol. The lending bill was not brought foiward in the n teres.t of the sliver states. If the ? 12)0 , ( ) ( ) , )00 ) of silver wcro in the hands of the miners of Colorado theio would not have been any anxiety to buy it uo , but it was in the hands of political nnd financial circles in Now York , nnd that vns the reason why there wasso * much anxiety about It in certain quirtcrs. A proposition had como fiom New York and not from the liver states. Thov wera indifferent about gold or any other commodity which they pro duced , but their great Intel est in the question was that silver should not bo used as money. Ho opposed the fourth section of tlio bill , which prov Ides for the issue of 011,000,000 , a per cent bonds. It W.H , Mr , Miller nsseited , in the Interest of two classes only the silver speculators of Now York' and the binkors of the countiy. It absolutely ignored the people of the United States and their de mands for moio money. Ho alluded to the silver net of the last session as n mere make shift , nnd said there was but ono sure method , and that was free coinage of silver , Mr. Shciman said bo would at some future time icply to some of Mr. Teller's observa tions , but ho did not euro to do so now. Mr. Merrill then addressed the senate In view of the late financial disasters in New York and the popular demand for some in crease in the cunency ho had been willing to stretch a point in order to keep stop with the senators from Colorado and Nevada. But the nppetito grew by what it fed upon. It had not been enough to assent without n whimper to the purchase of $12- ( H)0.000 worth of foreign ll\er , supposed to bo in the hands of speculators , nor to assent to the provisloa for the issue of treasury notes to the extent of $ lbl,000,000 to purchase silver bullion , but It was proposed ( whenever the market price of silver bullion should bo a dollar or over ! i71'.f ' grains of pure silver , that the purchase of silver should ceasn nnd that fiee coinage of silver should take place And jot all these propositions tipped with silver , proposed , rilorrcll said , no finally , but were to 'Stretchout to the crack of doom. " Ho was and eier had been sincerely and liiiiutlly disposed to support any fair and rea sonable measure tending to advance the mar ket value of bilvcr , but it appeared to him that his.silver f ilends were asking lee much , and ho had to halt bofoio plunging into a shoreless and bottomless sea. Ono of the most potent Instiumentalitlcs in the advunco of chili/atlon was an honest and unalterable standard of money. Mr , Vest argued In favor of the fico coinage of siher. Ho replied to Mi. Merrill , nnd in the tourso of bis remarks alluded totho state ment that ho had recoiled u letter from ex- President Cleveland recanting some cf his \ic\vsonthosilvcr question ns not having the slightest foundation.
