REDUCES THE CITY'S ' DEBT
Ono Ecsalt of Honest and Economical
Municipal Administration.
WHAT THE REPUBLICANS HAVE DONE
t.ond Lett liy Ilriiiocrntn Llfchtcncd
mid Ilif ClO'n llunlnciiH Kept
Ul > on Ciri-ntly Ilcdiiccd
"Income.
The republican managers arc finding no
difficulty In securing abundance of good
campaign stuff for use In the city campaign.
The strongest arguments are to be found
In the safe and business Ilko methods that t
have been pursued by the republican administration -
ministration toward reduction and cx-
tlngulshmcnt of the city debt , which was
created almost wholly during the periods
when the city affairs were under the direct
control of the democrats of the city. The
Income of the city during every year the
administration of affairs has been In the
hands of the republicans has been less than
the years when the democrats had control
and were building up the city's present\lebt.
Without an exception In these later years ,
the expenditures have been less than the
receipts , and the standing debt of the city
has been decreased every year. In 1892 the
salaries of executive ofllcers were $111,154.69.
This was the last year of the democratic
administration. Since then these salaries
have been cut until the total for each year
since has been kept between $9,000 and $10 ,
000. In 1891 the total city current expenses
were $97,470.59 , and on the following year
the democrats , with all of the experience
gathered during nearly ten years of adminis
trative control could do nothing better than
boom up these expenses to $121,512.52. Al"
of the previous years the expenses had been
steadily increasing , and the great extrava
gance of 1892 led to the complete overthrow
of the democratic administration and the In
auguration of republican rule under Mayor
Lawrence. Tt'e result waa very apparen
and fully satisfactory. The total current ex
penses for that first year were reduced to
$86,701.15 , and the surplus saved went Into
the general fund to reduce the amount o
outstanding general fund warrants , a pen
derous debt which had been created by demo
cratlc administrations and Increased every
year the party had control of the city's
finances anJ Its business.
CUTTING DOWN THE DEBT.
With greatly decreased receipts this debt
and the whole city debt was reduced each
year. Throughout the panicky times begin
ning In 1893 the
financial affairs were so
well handled that there was no disturbance
of the city's credit , warrants kept close to
par and the whole debt of the city reduced
from , $931,793.19 to Its present dimensions ,
$573,141.63 ' , which was the full total of all
obligations of every character at the close of
business on Saturday afternoon , less amounts
f' cash on hand.
At the close of the fiscal year of 1889 the
democratic administration had piled up a
total debt of $856,785.50. On the following
year It was Increased to $937,827.45 ; on the
next year the total was $917,578.78 , and on
the last year of the democratic administra
tioi the total was again raised to $931-
793.19. During the first year of republican
administration under Mayor Lawrence the
total , debt was reduced to $882,341.42. Each
succeeding year has shown a steady reduc
tloi , which has aggregated since 1893 a total
of nearly $300,000.
This record is certainly good stuff to use
In a campaign against the same party lead-
ers whose best ability was shown In the
creation of a steadily Increasing debt for
every year they had charge of the city's af
fairs. If there had been no hard times and
the city's receipts had kept up to the high
standard of democratic days , the debt would
have been much more materially reduced.
The general fund and the water fund war
rants would have at least been wiped out.
CONDITION OP THE EXCHEQUER.
The monthly report of City Auditor Evans ,
giving the condition of the city's finances on
March 1 , makes the general showing still
better. Since It was made up there has
been received in the treasury a largo portion
of the taxes collected by County Treasurer
inn
the last week these payments have been >
very heavy and hove greatly swelled the
amount of cash on hand , reducing proper
tionately the actual public debt. Following
Is the statement :

There Is no disposition to let the paving
campaign that was begun a few weeks ago
lag. At the last meeting of the city council :
resolution was pafeed ordering South
Eighth street paved. It was expected that
the order would call forth a vigorous pro
test , but eo far only the citizens who were
greatly In favor of the Improvement have
Uken the trouble to call upon ttie members .
the council cud express their opinions of
the action taken. The only question that Is

Interested concerns the material to be u = cd.

work of replacing ec-veral miles of rotten

IOTVH 1'ri'NN Comment.
Des Molnes Capital : While Iowa Is hard
up It certainly would be In bad taste not to
be creditably represented at Omaha.
Atlantic Telegraph : The present .high
price of wheat should not Induce farmers to
risk too much to spring wheat. It Is rather
a precarious crop at best. A little will do ,
but too much might prove unprofitable. A
variety of crops Is the surest.
Dubuque Telegraph : Senator Rarack vigor
ously founght the board of control bill dur
ing the fifteen dajs of Its consideration , yet
in the end ho voted for It. Ho antagonized
It . to please his constituents , and voted for
It to ' satisfy his conscience as a democrat.
Newton Journal : The bill to hold biennial
elections in Iowa will not become a law ,
There are too many "professional politicians"
who would be out of a job If It became t
law , and they will fight "tooth and toe nail"
to prevent having their bread and butter
taken from them.
Cedar Rapids Gazette : Horace Boles In
sists that he U not a candidate for congress.
Thcro was really no need of the second
declaration to the same purpose. The silver
men of the district bavo not sought to com
pel him to run and there Is noboJy who
would tlo htm on the track In front of Dave
Henderson's engine.

The Iowa college track men are In luck.
Jack Watson , who trained the teams la < st
year which won the state cup for Qrlnnell ,
arrived In Orlnncll yesterday and began
training at once. That air. Watson Is a
practical athlete may bo easily seen from
his record , Ho holds the championship of
the world In the broad Jump , the high Jump
and the bop , step and Jump ; and Is the
champion pole vaultcr of America , lie has
successfully held these championships since
winning them at the '
World's fair games.
iMr. Watson is glad to be In Qrlnnell again ,
for It was here that he scored his greatest
success as a trainer In bringing out Hush ,
the phenomenal sprinter who won twenty
points for Grlnncll In the state meet last
year and -whose name Is associated -with
Johnny 'Crum ' as the two foremost sprinters
of the west. It not of America. There Is lots
Oj good material for Wntson to work with ,
and though Hush Is no longer hpre the college -
lego will still be able to put out a team
which will "be " ro mean competitor in 'west
ern athletics.
Extensive though quiet preparations arc
; olng on hero for the seml-centonnl.il cele
bration of the college , which will take place
It the commencement In June. It seems
now quite certain that barring war or a ses
sion of congress President McKlnley will
make the principal address , and In case ho
comes special Invitations will be sent to the
governors of Iowa , Nebraska , ( .Minnesota
Dakota and Illinois , asking them to be pres
ent. Dr. Albert Shaw , the editor of the
American Monthly iKevlew of Reviews , who
U commonly considered as the most Illus
trious of the alumni , will give the address
before , the Alumni association. Senator
>
; laj
has bean invited to make an address , but his
acceptance Is as yet a matter of conjecturs.
Wednesday of the commencement week
will bo a special day for the educators of the
northwest , a largo number of < t\hom havt.
already signified their Intention to be present
and several will participate In the program.
The college has prospered greatly under
Its present administration and It Is no secret
that the authorities "nope " for a considerable
Increase In the endowment at the time when
the Institution begins the second fifty years
of its history. The number of students has
increased so In spite of the high require
ments that If more students still are to be
cared for , an Increase In the endowment is
very greatly to bo desired. tHowever , no
public solicitation will tbe 'made at the cele
bration and the guests will be left free to ! i
follow the dictates of { heir1 own wills. The .
various classes 'have already begun arrange
ments tor reunions and the campus will 'bo

Xo Women There.
GRUNDY CENTER. la. , March 20. ( Spe
cial. ) A very peculiar sociological condition
exists at the little town of Dairyvllle , In this
county. The town is quite an industrious
little burg , but there Is not a single woman
living there. Men do all the housework.
Traveling men tell some very queer tales of
the town and people , and the place has been
receiving coislderable notoriety of late , due
to the absence of the female sex.

WASHINGTON , March 20. Whether the
report of the naval board of inquiry on the
Matno disaster goea to congress thU week
with a special message from the president
calling for congressional action , our rela
tions | ( with S | ln and I tie proximity of
aa vlo cd from the standpoint of the emer
gency preparations going on to place the
country In a state of defenao will probably
) o exhaustively debated In ( do house In con
nection with the appropriation bill , the be-
; lnnlng of which will bo on Tuesday. The
consideration of many phases the appropria
tion | for battlMhlps , for dry docks and tor
pedo < boats will bring the whole subject di
rectly before the house.
Wtillo the conservative leaders doubtless
will seek to prevent Inflammatory expres.
slctis , under the recent ruling of the speaker ,
which practically places no limit upon tdo
latitude ] of debate In committee of the whole
on the state of the union , the leaders , except
by their example , probably wljl bo unable.
to repress sensational speeches.
An effort ls likely upon the part of Home
of the radicals to force frcin three In the
confidence : of the administration a dcclara
tlon of the policy of the administration In
regard to Cuba. This ttioy hope 'to do by
taunting t them wild some of the rumors which
have hero floating about in the newspapers
during the last few < lajs. It Is altogether
likely that there will be a general expression
of the sentiment of the house on this qucs
tlon t ! before the bill la passed.
Should the president transmit the repmt
of tfae board of Inquiry with a request for
congressional action during tbo week , every *
thing else will give way , to It.
An action which might bo decided upon
will bo In the control of the republican
leaders ns to the limit to be put on debate.
H the report Ooes not go to congress this
week , the naval bill will probably consume
all the time until then ; but If It should.bo
passed before Saturday , which seems un I-
likely , the bill for the reorganisation of the
army and authorization for recruiting It tea
a footing aggregating 104,000 men In time of
war , will be taken up.
Tomorrow the bill for the relief of the vic
tims of the Maine will be called up Imme
diately after the reading of the Journal ,
under the arrangement made lost week. II
Is not expected to consume much time , bill
will probably be tnado the subject of several
patriotic speeches. The rest of the day will
be occupied In the consideration of private
bills In pursuance of the orJcr made last
Friday.
Altogether It promises to be an exceedingly
eventful If not sensational week In the house.
SENATE FORECAST.
No program has been prepared for the
senate for the present week and the course
of events Is liable to be Influenced largely
by developments from the outside.
The quarantine bill Is the unfinished busi
ness on the senate calendar , and If oppor
tunity offers Senator Pettlgrew will get up
his public land bill.
It Is expected that the sundry civil appro
priation bill will bo reported Wednesday or
Thursday , and If It should bo It may be
taken up later In the week. The senate com
mittee Is making many changes In this bill ' ,
and It will corwumo several days of the
time of the senate when considered.
It Is also understood to be Senator Davis'
Intention to bring up the Hawaiian treaty In
order to get a vote on the Bacon amcnd-
mcnt. It Is still Mr. Davis' Intention , to lay
the bill on the table as soon as Mr. Bacon
concludes his speech In Its support.
. .
All these plans arc liable to be changed If
the report of the court of inquiry into the
Maine -disaster should'be received. The re
ceipt of this document would have the effect
of springing a Cuban debate which would
sidetrack all other questions.
