When and by whom the debt was created
which now stands against the property of
the city Is a subject that has a tender In
terest for the democrats striving to reinstate
themselves In ofllco. It has a tenderer In
terest for these democratic financiers who
liavo been out of jobs and to Ing all sorts
ot expedients to make a living since the
people came to the conclusion that as public
servants they were entitled to no other con
sideration than prompt discharge. But no
amount of frantic appeals to the courts for
Injunctions to prevent republican adminis
trations continuing the businesslike policy
that has been surely wiping out the great
debt of the city can olecure the fact that
the debt Itself was the creation of democratic
bad management , and the only hope of
avoiding repudiation Is to a\old the political
mistakes of the past. The books In the
offices of the cltv auditor and treasurer are
open to the Inspection of every citizen. They
contain the records of every financial trans
action made by the city. Hy these records
each administration Is approved or con
demned. It Is the bringing to light of this
deadly record , showing extravagance and
mismanagement during every year the city
was In the control of the democrats , that la
making the same old leaders so weary now.
The record need not be followed back further
than ten > cars to shatter all pretenses tc
statesmanship boasted by the party and the
candidates It Is again pushing to the front ,
It shows that the bulk of the debt was cre
ated by democrats , and In every year that
unfortunate party retained full control ol
the leglalatl\o and executive departments
the debt was piled up at all points. Scarcely
an Instance can be found In any of the de
partments where the expenses were reduced
but all show a uniform Increase from year
to year. The general fund warrants whlct
Mr. Shea has been so valiantly and
unselfishly attacking In the courts Is the
peculiar product of democratic administra
tions. In 1889 general fund and police war
rants were drawn to the amount of $91,171.66
In 1890 there were warrants draws upon thl-
fund amounting to $100,020.66 ; In 1891. $103 , .
49665 , and In 1892 , $124,883.12. This wa <
the year when the democrats went out undei
popular disapproval.
REPUBLICAN RECORDS.
Deb's and obligations were contracted Ir
this fund that made It necessary for thi
Issuance of warrants In excess of the actta
requirements of the departments , and It wai
necessary In that first year ot republlcar
control to Issue $110,639.46 , a reduction o
nearly $14,000. 0\er $6,000 of thla , how
ever , was for Interest on the warrants drawi
by the democratic administrations. In 189
the Issue was only $95,980.98 , a further re
ductlon of nearly $15,000 ; In 1895 the Issui
was $90,374 26 , In 1896 It was reduced ti
$82,450.21 , In 1897 to $73,574.33 , and for thi
year ending March 1 , 1898 , the total Ireui
wao $77,875.37. This last Increase was causei
wholly by extra demands for Interest pay
mcnts on the outstanding warrants , whlcl
this year amounted to over $10,000.
The total cash receipts from the pollc
fund and taxes levied for the general fum
wore uniformly greater when the democrat
were building up the debt than , when th
republicans were reducing It. In 1891 am
1892 , the two last years of democratic mle
rule , the total receipts were $83,688.23 an <
$103,676.34 , respectively , the largest amount
ever received In these funds In the hlstor ;
of the city. The last two years of the pres
ent administration the receipts were enl
$81,126.57 and $81,705.62 , respectively. I
1SS9 the total Issue of general fund war
rants In excess ot the recelp's reached th
total of $40,853.24 ; In 1890 , $29,885.48 ; 1
If91. $19,808.42 ; In 1892 , $21,206.78. In 189 !
ui.lcr Mayor Lawrence , there was enl ;
Issued $7,515 in excess of receipts , and 1
each of the succeeding years until the pres
ent there has been only one year , 1894 , whe
the wtrrants Issued exceeded the receipt !
and In that year the excess was only $4 ,
508.81. In all of the other ytars of repub
- llcan administration the current expense
1 were less than the receipts by several thou
sand dollars , $14,103.56 In 1895 and $12,558.4
In 1896.
MAKES CITIZENS THINK.
There Is no disposition to criticise the ere
otlon of the bonded debt. It was for sew
crlng , grading and paving , and If some f
the contractors became wealthy on the fa
jobs awarded them by democratic council
and approved by democratic-mayors It wa
only a part of the general proceedings an
habit of the days and men.
Thoughtful taxpayers and citizens wh
have at heart the welfare of all and lee
for future prosperity are pondering ovc
these Incontrovertible facts , and they ar
reaching the only conclusion that can b
arrived at the necessity for a contlnuatlo
ot republican management with men of ur
doubted business ability at the head , me
who have made a success of their own bus
ness , until the present debt has been e ;
tlngulshcd and all danger ot financial breaV
era safely paepod.

Dns MOINES. March 22. ( Special Tele
gram. ) The board of control bill passed this
morning In the house by the vote of 71 to 20.
It was messaged back to the senate In the
afternoon and referred to the wajs and
means committee to consider the house
amendments. There were few of them did
none of them Important. The moat scrloun
change was the addition of the sections
which place the three educational Institutions
under the board of control as to their finan
cial conduct. It was thought the senate
might protest aga'rst this , but Instead the
ways and means committee unanimously
voted to accept all the house amendments.
The report will be made to the senate
tomorrow , when the bill will doubtless pass
and be ready for the governor. The expecta
tion Is that It will be enrolled and in the
governor's hands the latter part of the week ,
and by Friday or Saturday tbe governor will
send his nominations for the hoard to the
senate. It Is generally believed C. H. Robin
son , of DCS Molnes will be the democratic
nominee. Ho is now pension agent In charge
of the DCS Mo'nes pension office. John
Cownlo of South Amana , Iowa county , Is
said to have a good prospect of being one
of the republican members.
The house made a new record In passing
the bill. The measure had required fifteen
das for Its consideration in the senate. It
was taken up In the house at 9:30 : thla mom-
Ing and at 12.03 p. m. was arnounccd to have
parsed. There was fame protest against such
hasty action. A few members wanted to
debate , but they were shut off , and the bill
dished through , the senate measure being
substituted for the house bill already pend
ing.

( ho Tender .Sentiment In A 1'hritU
rliin'H flood Adi loe.
Tlicro U no wny by which people exhaust
themselves or kill themselves , so qulckljr
as by exercising the affections. "
This striking remark was mailo by ono
ot the best rhystclaus In America. Ho w
3. man nlio Imil studied deeply , otwcrveJi
keenly , and Knew men ami women thor
ougt.ly. Continuing , ho said :
"Sentiment Is a grand , a lovely tiling , uil (
the world cannot Iho without It , but th *
exercise of the sentiments Invariably ex
hausts. 1'coplc may not feel It , but It !
true nevertheless. A man or a woman woara
out , breaks down , and then \\omlcrs at lh *
e-ause. There should bo no occasion ( or
\\ondir. I hnvo explalno.1 the cause. "
"If ttie men and women of the nineteenth
century di not fecsl the forccw that produce
sontlmcnta , nffeMlona , feclU.gs , they ro cer
tain tu break down , to lu-cuiio exhausted ,
and to die before their time. l > o not tcJI
me these ( dings nru thcorlio , for they uro
solemn facts. "
"Yon ask mo what I would do , " be con
tinued. "I answer : Ik'gln to feed the\s
forces ; feed them constantly ; feed them with
the best nnd most scientific discovery jou
can secure. If you usk me what Is
the best I unhesitatingly say that It \a \
that Brand inepirutlon which dan been BO
loni ; before the people and Is so popular ,
Warner's Safe Cure. I know tlut It pos
sesses powers known to no other discovery ,
and I know thnt thousands of men and
women cannot live' without It today. If jou
will stop and think , or nsk jour friends ,
you will see ttmt what I say ! ! correct , and
I believe bo led tx > try It at onto If jou have
lot already done BO. "
The facts stated by the doctor and the ail *
vice ho given ace sound. It Is absolutely
true that many men and women arc en
abled to live anl enjoy life entirely through
tlio power which this great remedy gives
them , and tlieve are thousands of othcra
who need to follow In the same path.
