CITY'S BOOKS CONDEMN TH.IR RECORD
FlRurcn In the AiHlltor'n Office Show
I'lillnty the Iluln Wrought by
the HeeUlen * Maiinircmctit.
of I'tihllc Ilunlncii ,
The efforts of the democratic party to
shirk the responsibility for the creation of
ho present city debt lend some additional
nterest to the city campaign. It Is necdlees
o say that such efforts are failures , but It
s Interesting to note the anxiety perceptible
with each fresh publication of financial state
ments , show In ? by Incontrovertible facts and
Igurcs the "one-sldedness" of this responsi
bility. The books In the office of City
Auditor Evans never were In such demand
as at the present time. They are searched
Utl , feverish anxiety by democratls poll-
Iclans and party leaders In the dual hope of
discovering something to base the much de
sired refutations upon and to discover facts
connected with democratic municipal con
trol that can be published with credit to
the party. 'But ' the moro the records are
searched the moro alarming and accusing
.hey become. The portion of the city debt
that has been most talked of and most vig
orously denounced Is thc overdraft In thc
general fund for which warrants have been
ssued. The outstanding general fund war
rants now amount to $131,311.63 , exclusive
of the overdraft in the water fund , which la
(43,300. ( When the democrats took hold of
the city management this fund was In a
condition that occasioned no alarm. At the
end of thc fiscal year terminating March 1 ,
18SH , the outstanding warrants onlv
amounted to $19,971.51. The next year the
amount was Jumped up to $71,769.18 , the fol
lowing year to $106,940.08 and the next year ,
that season of universal extravagance , the
debt was Increased to $116,18252. The
process of reduction began as soon as the
control of financial matters passed Into the
lianda of thu succeeding republican adminis
tration. This debt has been the hardest portion
tion of the public liabilities to provide for
and with constantly decreasing receipts from
the general fund levy and the saloon licenses
It has been no small achievement to keep It
down to the present dimensions. The differ
ence In management Is best shown by the
figures. Indicating that In every year of the
democratic control the expenses charged to
this fund were greater by many thousand
dollars than thc receipts that came Into It
from all sources. The Inference Is unavoid
able that If the democratic blunderers had
been permitted to retain control this portion
of _ the city's debt would now be of such pro
portions that the repudiation sought by some
democrats would have been forced and thc
city's credit forever destroyed.
A recapitulation of thc results achieved
by the safe * republican ! methods pursued Is
Interesting and convincing. Oa March 1 ,
18&9. the total city's debt wa * $856,785.50.
In three years of democratic control It had
been raised to the enormous total of $931-
7U3.19 , and once during that period It reached
a gross aggregate of several thousand dollars
higher. The first year of republican adminis
tration the debt was reduced approximately
$100,000 , and In the total six years since the
people obliged the democratic statesmen and
financiers to relinquish control the total debt
has been reduced to $573,141.63 , a total.reduc
tion of $358,651.56. To this should be added ,
also , the amount of cash now on hand In the
city treasury in the various funds , amount
ing to over $70,000 , leaving the net debt In
round numbers only $500,000. It Is safe to
take the past as an earnest ot the future ,
and It can be readily perceived that a con
tinuation ot the wise financial policy of the
last few years will mean the early extln-
Kul'timent of the total city debt.
There has not been a year when the debt
was not reduced by the payment of every
dollar that fell due , and this has been done
without resorting to refunding or robbing
other funds. In thU campaign these arc the
things the Intelligent people arc thinking
of the most , and as the personnel of tbo ic-
publlcan ticket Is eminently satisfactory the
republicans will await the verdict of next
Monday without any anxiety.

MAK13 THE 111G WIGWAM BIGGER
Council ninffH Tepee Will lie Elithty-
Flve Feet In Ulnmeter.
At the regular meeting of the Transmls
slsslppl Exposition association at the Grand
hotel last night It wcs decided to enlarge
the dimensions of the big wigwam and makt
It eighty-five feet In diameter , Instead ol
seventy-five , as originally contemplated. Thc
enlargement is made pccslble by the nu
merous applications for space that have beet
made , and In the belief that all ot the extro
room can bo disposed of to other local ex
hibitors. The question of the right of tru
association to furnish space for exhibits wai
discussed , and various opinions expressed
Lest there should bo some mistake made
and the association contract to do somethlnl
It was unable to do It wus decided to oeot
President Graham and V. E. Bender tt
Omaha for a conference with the exposltlor
managers and ascertain Just what the rlghti
of the association were under Its contrac
with the management for the wigwam site
It has been ascertained that a largo numbd
of local wholesalers have been In correspond
cnco with their eastern houses , and man :
of the firms they rerrcscnt have expressei
a desire to make special exhibits In the bit
tepee. If the association has the power ti
sell space to these firms the amounts thui
received will go a long way toward provld <
Ing funds for the erection or the building am
the payment for the grounds.

OP THU CITY COUNCIL.
CoimlilcrnMe Time In Spent In Fruit
ion * IllHcti iilon.
The city council held a session as a
ounctl and as a committee of the whole
ast evening. As n council the protests
igalnst the paving of Fourth street and eev-
iral other thoroughfares recently ordered
epavcd , were considered briefly and ordered
o bo attached to the paving resolution
\ comes before the council for final ac-
: lon on April 6. As committee of the whole ,
the council spent the entire evening dls-
lusslng the general electric ordinance in-
reduced some weeks ago and referred to
; ho committee. Only those sections" of the
mllnanco that relate to the duties of the
ilty electrician were considered. The ordl-
mnco gives that officer such autocratic
powers that several of the aUcrmen reached
ho conclusion that there would be occasion
for frequent disputes between him and the
owners , and It was felt that the council
should keep some strings upon him that
could be vigorously pulled If occasion re
quired. The ordinance as drawn docs not
remove him from his position In the fire
department where ho Is under the Jurisdic
tion of the chief , ttf whom ho would report.
This would make him Inl fact only a deputy
of the chief of the flro department and
gpeatly enlarges the powers and Increases
the responsibilities of that nniccr.
Alderman Casper thought It would be who
to Incorporate a section In the ordinance
providing against the removal of the elec-
irlclan except for causes not connected with
politics , ( Ho thought the civil service law-
should apply to this office with Its greatest
force and that It should be removed entirely
from Ipolltr : * . Some of the other aldermen
felt the eame woy but feared there would
bo no possibility of keeping a $90 a month
office out of politics and opposed the sug
gested amendment. After further flhcusslon
It was decided to make no recommendations
and let the ordinance go over for action by
the new council.
At the suggestion Df ( Mayor Carson the
aldermen took up the consideration of the
expenses for Match , which arc not provided
for this year , owing totho fact that under
the old law the fiscal year ended March 1 ,
and under the new law now In force the fiscal
year does not begin until April' 1. The sug
gestion of the mayor that all ( Warrants for
the expenses of the month be drawn upon
the police fun.ll Instead of upon the general
fund was agreed to , and the bills for this
month , will thus be paid practically In caah.
The city clerk was granted permission to
receive the hucksters' llconso in Installments
of $25 , one-third to be paid down , one-third
In elxty da > s and the remainder at the next
Interval of sixty days , making the total pay
ment In four months Instead of all In ad
vance. The council will meet again Satur
day evening andi , put the finishing touchco
upon Its wortt preparatory to final dissolu
tion to make way for the now council which
will come Into office on the first Monday in
April.

George S. Davis , the newly elected treas
urer of the school board , has taken a busi
nesslike view of the duties and responsibili
ties of his office and Instead of asking any
of the banks or his personal friends to fill
out the $100,000 bond exacted by the Board
of Education ho has procured a bond from
ono of the commercial guaranty companies.
The annual premium on this bond Is $200
and yesterday he sent the company his per
sonal check for this amount. In speaking ot
the matter Mr. Davis declared that oeveral
of the banks had volunteered to procure his
bond , but he declined the offer for the reason
that he desired to bo absolutely Independent
and to place himself under obligations to
none of his friends In such a matter.
There Is some probability that the board
will make the treasurer's office a salaried
ono and fix the salary at the amount re
quired to pay for the bond. There has been
no salary attached to the office In the past ,
but under the new law the board Is empow
ered to fix a salary and since Mr. Davis
has taken the Independent course he has It
Is probable that the board vlll feel obliged
to reimburse him to the amount of the ex
pense he has Incurred.

DE3 MOINDS , March 24. ( Special Tclc-
; ram. ) The hoard of control bill la passed
ind the board of control baa been named
jy Governor Shaw. It Is composed of Wll-
lam Larrabeo of Clermont , ex-governor and
state senator for eighteen years , farmer ,
Danker and successful business man ; Mr.
Uarrabco la appointed for thc short term
3f two years and will be chairman of the
ijoird ; L. O. Klnno of Den Molnes , twice
democratic candidate for governor , elected
supieme Judge on the democratic ticket In

standing ; John Cownle of South Amana , ex-
tcnslvo farmer and business man , president
at the State Agricultural society , known as
the man who moro than any other has helped
to rescue the state fair from Its financial
troubles of recent years.
The board Is considered by all an Ideal
one. The only note of discord came from
thu democrats of the house , who early In
the afternoon , on the strength of vigorous
rumors that Kttine was likely to be ap
pointed , held a caucus and denounced thc
appointment. Chairman Jackson ot the
house caucus committed presided. The sen
ate democrats were asked to attend , but
declined to do so. The house members took
the ground that Klnno Is not a good demo
crat , for the reason that ho Is under sus
picion of being opposed to sixteen to one.
It Is not denied that he hao stood by the
party organization , supporting Bryan and
White , but Jio Is nevertheless not regarded
aa a firm advocate of the Jluanclal policy
of the free fillvcrltcs. The caucus was In
session three quarters of an hour. It took
no action , but the denunciations of the gov
ernor's propoacd course were unanimous and
vigorous. It was decided that members
should take their own course , calling on
the governor and making whatever protests
they choae. They hardly bad time , howe -
e cr' t ° make any objections at the executive
onico till the appointment of thc board was
announced.
The board Is composed of business and
