The condition of the city finances has
become a mailer of grave concern lo llio
llilnking class among our taxpayers.
The fiscal year runs lo August 1 next ,
consequently there arc six months , or
just one-half of llio present yc.ir , ycl to
bo provided for. Tlio lax assessed for
general purposes in 1885 was 10 mills on
n total valualion of $3,183,1100 , making
Iho amount collectible $ " 1,800. This lax
becomes delinquent February 1 , and it is
safe lo say thai less Ihan 75 per cent of it
will bo paid into liic Ircnsury by August
1 next. Alleasltlio experience of former
years warranls Ihls conclusion. Section
85 of the city charter provides that "no
order or warrant shall bo drawn in ox-
COM of 75 per cout of Iho current levy for
the purpose for which il is drawn , unless
there Miall be suHicicnt money in tlio
treasury to t'.io credit of llio proper fund
for its payment. " The expenses of llio
city average about $ ! ) , i00 ! a month ,
making the lolal for the six months
lo August 1 next about $20,000. There
Jiow wsuiiins but § 2,377.13 , of the general
fund subject lo draft , warranls being now
outstanding to llio amount of ! ? 22OGt.20
As will be seen by Iho section of llio charter -
tor quoted above , when this balance of
$2,2i7.'W Is exhausted no more warrants
can bo issued legally until the now levy is
available. Hut the city expenses must bo
met m tlio meantime. How can it bo
done ? Warrants could probably be
drawn against the water lax fund , but
unfortunately $3,251.41 of Unit levy has
already been expended , anil as some
$11,000 in waler bond coupons will maluro
mid must be paid in a short lime thorn
will bo no surplus in llio fund properly
subjccl to dratt. In fact no part of the
water lax can lawfully bo used in pay
ment of the general expenses of llio city.
Tlio road fund would be another help in
Ihis emergency wore it not that section
! ltl provides that "No warrants shall bo
drawn , account allowed , or debt con-
traded with reference to this fund mi-
Jess there shall bo'inonoy in tlio treasury
for the payment thereof. "
This section must Iiavo escaped the
notice of the oily council , for llicrc are
now outstanding against llio road lund
unpaid warrants to llio amount of
? lr , > 18.30. Under the section quoted thcso
warrants would appear to be absolutely
illegal and uncollectible.
Iiul llio main question is how can
money bo raised for current city ex-
peii'-es. Perhaps it can bo bad from
eastern capitalists byissiimg warrants in
n.xccss of tlio amount allowed by law.
They do not seem to have been very par
ticular about such Ihings , as evidenced
by their eager snapping up of road war
rants. Tito sitnalfon is an inlercsling
one , and il will take considerable Kuan-
cial skill to bo successfully handled. It
will certainly afford a temptation to city
olUcials to disregard the limitations on
the contracting of debts which the law
has placed on thorn. Speak to ono of
them now about tlio threatened defi
ciency and the answer will bo , "Simply an
overlap. ' ' But llicso overlaps must bo
mot at some time , and always involve
the voting of bonds , with Ihcir inlercsl ,
to payllicm.

Yesterday morning , just as the ITealli
trial was well under way. llio dignified
silence that usually pervailes the united
States court room during business hours
was broken by a loud crash , and a half

of surprise and annoyance. The venera

in their work , and turned to see llio Hon.

Why lie Suspended.
As announced in ycslcrday's BEE , Ihe
firm of Martinovitcli & Co. has failed.
For several weeks they have done a fair
business selling goods on commission.
Some weeks ago Mr. Martinovitch's
parlner , Sylvester Lobe , wont cast os-
lousibly lo buy goods. Mr. M. sent him
several sums of money , amounting in all
to about 1,000. Mr. Lobe has not re-
tinned , and it appears lliat lie has gone
lo stay. This lias bankrupted tlio hrm ,
and yesterday Mr. Marlinovitch was
forced to suspend. The liabilities are
about § 1,000 , and the assets merely nomi
nal.
nal.Lobe is the gentleman who figured
some lime ago in a suit to replevin some
iroscnls which lie had given to a fickle
love. _

Mr. Ingalls was opposed to pcnnittliig title

In the course of dchnle Mr. Ingalls said he
had been Informed hy reliable authority that
Major ( lasklau , Indian agent , Imd heeii re

those settlers.
Mr. Dawcs denied this and said the piesent

.hero had beca some talk by a few men
among the selllers of icslsliuico to the piosl-
lent's proclamation , but such men wcie
datively very few.
Alter finther debate the matter went over.
The electoral count bill was postponed until
Monday next. x
Mr. llaulson then called up the bill for the
idmlssion of Dakota. The bill having been
end , Mr. Ilnulson addiessed the senate In
ts Mippoit. He said thai no man could sun-
lose that the descendants of Ihe men who in
1770 complained of Ihe appointment of their
ofllclals by othcis llian themselves , vonld
to-ilay bo content wild the Ireatmcnt of Ihelr
affali.-i as lerrllorlaland colonial. Wo should
remember who Iheso people weio who In-
lablled this tenltory of Dakota. They Imd
been until lately citbens of seveial stales ,
and IIM ! exercised all Ihe pihlieges ot
citl/.enslilp. They thercfoie knew how
valuable was the privilege of citizenship.
Mr. Harrison spoke ot the Immense
products of the tcirltoiy last year , and
) f the general thrift of Its people , and con
tinued : How could wo justify ouiselves In
denying to a people capable of such lapul
and prosperous development the rlcht to ad
mission as a state ? They weio people largely
made up of biavo men who had fought la the
union armies , having by their sci vice In Ihcsu
armies given pcipetnlly lo Iho Institutions of
this goveinmonl. That fact may account for
their discontent with their picsunt political
condition. But Mr. Harrison has heard the
objection , "not , however , In the senate , "
that there were not democrats enough In the
teiiltoiy , and that Dakota should wait till
another territory , dcmociatlc in politics , was
ready for admission. Could wo get i Id of this
old ' 'pairing" system ? It grew out of slaveiy
and ought to have died wllh slavery. Every
teirltory should bo admlllcd on the basis of
its own conditions. Dakota had by Its pro
posed constitution made ample piovlsion for
the perpetual maintenance ot public schools ,
and had made a compact with the United
dtnti's forever securing religious liberty to
all the icsldciits tit the proposed stale. South
Dakota had made hcisell fully and lawfully
icady , and now stood at the door ot congress
asking for admission to the union.
As to the method by which the new state
should bo admitted , llauison levlewed the
aiiangomentu tor admission in cases ot other
states , and insisted that the method pursued
in this instance was in harmony with pre
cedents and law. On the question of divi
sion of the present tcnltory on the foity-
slNth parallel , Mr. Harrison iccited facts
showing the repealed ctlorls , of bolh north
and south Dakota , to sec mo such division
fiom congrcis. the teuitorial legislature hav
ing unanimously uigcd , aud the resolu
tions of the conventions of bolh
political paitics having repeatedly
urged It , It was not a paity micstlon as to
whether a preliminary enacting act by con
gress was necessary beloie a state could be
admitted to Ihe union. Sir. Haruson con
tended that no such act was neccssaiy. He
levlowed the cases ol states ahcadv admitted
wilhout such act. In Ihe case of Tennessee ,
ho said , Iho new state sent a copy of its con-
slititllon lo the president of the United
Stales. Then George Washington , with
out waiting for any act of congiess ,
gave simple notice that on a ceitaln day
a stale goveuimcnt would go into operation.
Mr. Butler asked Mr. Harrison to uive Iho
names of llio slates on whoso cases ho relied
as precedent tor the method ot admission
proposed in the case of Dakota.
Mr. llaulson replied that the cases were
Tennessee , Michigan , Callfoanla. Iowa ,
Florida , Kansas and Oicpon , and 111 linn
asked In what icspect the senator liom South
Caiollna disputed that Dakota had not come
within this line ot piecedents.
Mr. Hntler said ho w otiltl satisfy the sen
ator Irom Indiana bofoie the debate was
tluou h.
Mr. Hairison was not so suio of lhat.
Mr. Duller said If ho dldnot sallsty him 11
was because the senator could not be sat-
Islled.
Mr. llaulson concluded with the rcmaik
that the people of Dakota , not cilnglngly but
1 especially lequested to bo allowed lo par-
tleipnle with the other states of the union in
all tlio mlvilcgcs of Amcilcan cltlmishlp.
Mr. lJutler then took the lloor In icply to

sion , alter which the senate adjourned.

THE OHIO SI2XATI3.

Coi.r.MUUS , Jan. 27. Everything quiet Ihls
morning. Doth sides , however , seem thin ,
and develop incuts are looked for by evening.
The Jackson club , the leading democratic or
ganl/atlon of central Ohio , held a meeting
last night , and as a result a mass meeting Is
called for the city hall to-night * to make ex-
piesslon on the conduct and alleged usurpa
tion by the lieutenant-governor. The meet
ing is announced in the democratic morning
paper with inflammatory accompaniments ,
and the announcement that the democratic
membcis of the senate will bo present , with
other piomlnent democrats , and piobably
that Allen G. Thuunun will be pic.sldcnt ot
the meeting docs not lind favor with
many democrats on the ground that
It will have a tendency to
Intensify the already strong feeling and
spirit for violence. The republican caucus
named a committee of live yesterday which
will Jiieet u similar ono fiom the democratic
caucus to-day. The object of the confeionce
is stated by Senator Fold , republican , to bo
the consideration of some proposed changes
of the rules for the government of the body.
The Hamilton county contests and how they
shall be conducted , will not come befoie the
joint committee.
The demociatlc caucus met at 10 a. in. ,
when among other thlifgsa , committee will bo
selected to meet tlio joint committee to beheld
held later. It is expected they will have con
cluded their work befoie the lime of llio
ineellng of the joint senate at 4 p. m.
Welsh , democratic senator irom Athens ,
states that tliey propose lo have their rela
tions with the president settled before they
piocccd to other business. They are not In
clined to precipitate the'matter too early , but
there Is n probability that in case nothing is
accomplished by Ihe joint committee that a
resolution will bo , plfcied this evening lor
suspension or oxpidsion of the picbldcut.
They prefer , however , that this final move
should not bo inaugurated for a day or two.
unless the situation fiqm their standpoint
demands It. Welsh says the demands of the
majoiity , can bo Summed up as icqnlring
that the presldent'shall'resnect ' the lights of
tlio body In his rulings'and n committee of
tlueo trom each side , will bo appointed to go
to Cincinnati and investigate the alleged

AN ELOQUENT LAWYER.
The Qnoer Dofonsc Which Ho Mmlo
in a Very yuccr tllgainy Cnsc.
Brooklyn Union : Jacob Co/lne , a shab
bily dressed though Tvell-pre ervcd man.
whoso long hair and dingy-colored
beard gave him the. appearance of n lat
ter day saint , was brought before Judgn
Moore hi tlio court of sessions this morn
ing , to answer a cliarge of liijinmj , it be
ing alleged lhat on the 7th day of March ,
1835 , lie married Miry Yorks while his
llrst wlfo was still living , lo whom ho
had been married since Jan i
uary 2 , 1P03. When arraigned ,
through his counsel , Charles Ivrutli ,
he pleaded guilty. In extenuation of tlio
oll'ense , Counselor Krtith snitb "This
man pleads guilty to the ehanre , because
legally ho is gulllv , but tlieio are ( jirouni *
stances surrounding it that , in tny
opinion , make him morally Innocent.
It is my duty , as his counsel , to lay be-
foio you these circumstances , so that you
maybe induced to deal leniently with
him. 1 don't believe ho is morally guilty ,
lie had been married to his Hrst wlfo
some twenty years. Ho loved his wlfo
dearly. She loved him as dearly as ho
loved her1 and as the counsel said il lie
sighed deeply ,
Midge Muoro moved uneasily in lila
sent , while a sarcasticsmllo plajcd about
his lips.
"Their married life had been n happy
ono , " continued tlio counsel , "In tlio
last few years of his married life slio
Millcrcd from cleplmntiaMls. Her limbs
began to draw ami the bone began to
rot , so thai slio became oll'ensivo to all
her relative * and frlcmls , Tim only w < 5
JKsrscms' who Would go near her were her
tiitsbnnd ami the woman whom he matin
his second wife. Tills man loved his llrst
wife fondly ; dearly loved her ! "
This was too much for Judge Moore to
.stand , ami ho poured a bucket of ice-cold
water over tlio young lawyer's pathctio
eloquence , when liu Raid : "Mr. Krutli ,
leave tlio poetry oul ami give us the
fact < . "
Tito laughter thai rippled through the
court qiiilii disconcerted the young bar
rister , but after a few moments lie re
covered , anil staled to Ihu court thai the
accused at tlio request of his wife mar
ried the woman who was now his second
wife. Slio thought that HIO ! might bo
soul to a hospital anil there have a leg
cut oil' . Fearing this , she said to her
husband that sun wanted him aud Miss
Mary Yerkslo marry and care for her.
At her requcsl they weal and were mar
ried. When Ihoy returned she had them
kneel down together at her bedside so
thai silo mlglil place her hands upon
their heads and bless them.
When counsel said this the smile again
appeared upon the Judge's face , aim it
looked as though counsel was about to
catch another ico-watcr dose , but lie es
caped it by quickly Mulshing his story.
He said Unit the first wlfo lived six
months after the mtuTiugo ceremony.
During that time tlio prisoner anil Ihe
.second wife had novel boon married save
in name. Tim second wife cared for the
llrst wife until her eyes wcro clo-sed in
death , and after that , to Icgali/.o the
.second marriage , Cozinc him the cere
mony again perlormed.
"Did you know il was against the law
for you lo marry a woman when you
had a wife living ? " asked Die judge. ( j |
"I didn't at Iho lime , " was Iho prison
er's response.
' Wlitil ? " said llio judge. "IIovv old
are you ? "
"I'ifly , " was tlio answer.
"And your business1" !
"lloii'so painter. "
"How long have you lived in Brook
lyn ? "
"Eight years. "
"And you moan to toll mo that you , a
man GO years old , an intelligent man , did
not know it was against tlio law to marry
a second wife when llio lirst wife was
living ? "
Co/.ino hesitated a moment , and then ,
in : ! low voice , said : " 1 did not under
stand tlio jaw. "
"If thai is so , " said Iho Judge , "your is
a case of ignorance on tlio part of an in
telligent man I nycr Haw equalled. I
mean to nay I don't belluvo you. That is
all for the pro&enl. "
Cqzine was llien led back lo llio pen to
await sentence.
