Minister Lltnon- tour's report of tho financial condition of the country, mado to congress on tho pres entation of tho annual budget, la u nota ble document. Ho estimates for the en suing year a revenue amounting to $61,691,- 000 and expenditures of $61,677,990 and shows why ho does not expect n large sur plus for the coming year. Ho takes up tho presont financial situation, which Is char acterized by monotary stringency, and re marks; It Is lmocisslhln in dlsreaard certain eco nomical phenomena nnd certain symptoms of tho present business situation, which re veal n condition of uneuslnetts canned by tho partial panilyzatlon of transaction nnd which to continue for a long time prob ably would occasion a formal crisis In tho commerce and Industry of a largo portion of the republic. The ilnanclal minister estimates that In nddltlon to $S0,000,OOO In cash deposited In banks that tho holdings of the gcncrul pub lic In cash docs not amount to moro than 40.000.000. so that tho total circulation of Oliver money may be estimated in tlio neighborhood of $00,000,000.

Htratii that when suddenly the country's supply of cash waa curtailed from 10 to 12 per cent by the ex portation or silver uonars uusiness hiiuuhi havo experienced some degree of narnlyza lliui. Tlw.ni hnn hpnii nn unusual demand for Mi.vlran ilnltnrn unci Ibis demnnd has sensibly diminished tho supply of metallic ensn here. Tho report shows that tho formation of new stock companies for manufacturing and other purposes was a revelation to many business men of the prodlgous effi cacy of whloh Instruments of credit arc sus ceptible and tbnt a rertnln amount of spec ulation began, resulting In overproduction In manufacturing, from which, In some lines, n natural reaction Is experienced. Tho report says tho facility with which credit was secured at banks on tho strength of fortunes already amassed or by hypoth ecating tho shares of long nnd favorably known companies as collateral led many firms nnd capitalists to enter on now en terprises without walling as long a tlmo as would, perchance, havo boon desirable, so as lo allow previous enterprises to ma ture nnd their shares und bonds to bo- como well dlsscmlnutcd among tho people. It Is not, therefore, strango that as soon ns the scarcity of cash began to bo felt rnttinctlons should bo somewhat checked nnd that as business concerns woro unablo any longer to havo recourse to bnnks, hav Ing mudo full use of their credit In t'.ioso establishments, a largo volume of tho i-tock Irsued by tho corporations In ciucs tlon should havo been thrown upon tho market, producing, ns was natural, n gen eral depreciation In sureties. IJut fortu nately for tho country n majority of the en trprlses rest on accurato calculations nnd a foundation of complcto security. The report has produced nn excellent Im pression.

It was in the case of Ebenezer (1. linger, who sued tho city for $5,000, nllcglng personal Injuries caused by n washout at Twenty-sixth nnd H streets. Tho accident occurred on August 30, 1S90. As It wns, the Jury on Saturday Inst returned n verdict against the city for $1,000, when In fact u verdict of at least half the amount asked for was predicted. linger In his complaint asserted that ho drove into n washout aud that his right shoulder was dislocated, bruised and broken nnd thnt his right nrm nt the elbow was fractured. On account of theso and other Injuries noted ho became weak, nick and sore and remained so for many days. Ho further asserted that he had lost tho use of his right arm and hnnd and wns permanently Injured. So much for Iiib side of tho story. When Mr. Lambert aesumed charge of tho legal department of the city ho nsked tho mayor nnd council to provide him with a man to look up evidence nnd this was grunted. The documents in the caso show that the special agent of tho legal depart ment used his talents to the best ad vantage, as ho uncurthed a similar Injury claim filed with tho courts fn Council Bluffs on August S, 1898. In this petition Died against tho city of Council Bluffs it wns found that tho samo old right front wheel of Hagcr's wagon went Into a hole In the street nnd throw the occupant of tho vehicle out. Tho description of the Injuries given in this complaint Is nearly identical with thoso filed against tho city of South Omaha. It wns alleged In 1S98 that linger lost the use of his right arm nnd the namo thing was alleged In tho case Just tried. Tho two documents wero drawn by the sumo nttorney, tho dates being n year and a fow days apart. When linger was on the stand Saturday Mr. Lambert questioned him as to any In Juries ho might have received prior to his having driven Into tho washout nt Twenty sixth and II streets, Tho reply was that he was comparatively an able-bodied mun for his ngc. Then Mr. Lambert handed tho witness tho petition he hnd (lied In Council Bluffs a year ago and asked hlr.i to identify his signature. This was done after somo reluctance. A comparison with tho papers in the two suits showed that they wero almost identical. In Council Bluffs linger swore that ho wns permanently dls ublcd nnd that was a year beforo ho wob Injured here, yet ho brought up tho same old charge. This fact of slmllnr charges, relating to almost tho Identical injuries, without doubt caused a reduction In the amount of tho verdict rendered against tho city. In this case nnd with these facts before him City Attorney Lambert will today move for a new trinl nnd if this is not granted the ense will bo taken to tho supremo court. KuulNlcy Will Cancel Tut An agreement has been reached wheroby City Treasurer Koutsky will cancel tho pnvtng tax levied for the paving of Twenty- fifth street, from L to Q streets, Somo time ogo suit wns brought by the abutting prop erty owners and tho court ordered Koutsky to cancel tho tnx. Acting upon the advice of Mayor Kelly nnd City Attorney Lambert ho refused to do this nnd was cited for contempt. Tho hearing of tho contempt cusp came up in tho district court Saturday. When It wns found that no motion for a new trial had been filed by tho former city attorney thero wns nothing to do but to give up tho Idea of appealing tho caso to tho supreme court. The plaintiffs In tho con tompt case agreed to pay the costs of the action and the cnsO was therefore dismissed with tho understanding that the tax would bo canceled. t.'elehrute Kent of Light, Tho annual Chanukah, or FcaBt of Light, which Is tho Jewish "Fourth of July," was celebrated Sunday afternoon in tho Har ney street temple, tho edlilce being packed with members of the congregation, Chtl dren wero especially numerous, thero being more than 1D0 who belong to tho Sunday school alone, and thero wero mnr.y visitors.

Ono of the labor papers makes the sug gestion that tho mayor appoint an Inspector of weights nnd measures In order that pur chasers of supplies may secure full weight and full measure.

In tho first pluce the location of tho holdup is n dark hole, with tho nearest light somo distance nwoy. Taking this fact Into consideration the description of tho robber, as given to tho pollco by Con way, seems out of nil reason.
