The Mayor's advice to the Alder- en to go slow in the matter of igh tax assessments and salary in- creases and generally to curb the | tendency to extravagance ration will st municipality. On the other hand it is a sobering reflection that this financial Gibraltar bears a debt forty | times as great as the bonded of the State of New York and supports an army of 51,000 employees, whose salary list of $64,000,000 exceeds | the entire revenues of a kingdom like Portugal or of a vast empire like | China with its 432,000,000 of people. To pay these salaries in would take 80 per cent. of all the gold| mined in the United States in a year. New York is a city of big things, | but there is a limit even to its wonderful capacity. | The most important feature of the message is its dissipation of the subway bugaboo, The Mayor finds that $139,000,000 will be available! for legitimate expenditures before the debt limit is reached, and of this at least $89,000,000 can be devoted to the construction of new under-| ground lines. These figures refute the objections of those who have been able to see no way out of the dilemma of their own creation except such as the merger interests might furnish. They show that the city is not helpless under the Elsherg bill and they vindicate the Mayor's consistent attitude of optimism with regard to the outlook for subway expansion. Mayor McClellan's advocacy of the public interest in this vexed ques- tion is but one of numerous exhibitions of clearsightedness and firmness from which the city has recently benefited. He has grown with the demands of his office and risen to its responsibilities.

By the tariff now in force on the lines of the Ne ¢ Company the lowest charge | is that of $45 for a party line service of 600 messages. This rate the Atlantic’s offer more than cuts in half. | Two cents is the charge in London, where the lines are operated by| the post-office. It is a minimum charge, the realization of which in| American cities has been looked on as chimerical.

A great cconfidence, a feeling that here one might rely even {f all other fait shaken, touched him suddenly. For a mon stood frresolute, watching h mount the stairs with her easy, assured step. Then a determination came to him. Fate favored him to-night; he was in luck to-night. He would put his fortune to one more test. He swung across the hall and ran up the stairs, His face was keen with interest as he reached | her side. The hard outline of his features and the | hard grayness of his eyes were softened as when he had paused to talk with Lakely.

In less than six hours had looked despair in the face till the sudden sight of Chileote had lifted him to the skies; since then surprise had assailed him in {ts strongest form; he had known the full meaning of the word “risk,” and from every contingency he had come out con- | queror, He bent over the chair as he pulled {it for ward to hide the expression in his eyes. “Stt down," he sald gently, Eve moved toward him.

Never had ho been vehemently himself; never had Chilcote seemed so complete a shadow. As Eyo seated herself he moved forward and leaned over tho back of her chair. The impulse that had filled him in his interview with Renwick, that had goaded him as he drove to the reception. was dominant again. “I tried to say something as we drove to the Bramfels’ to-night.” he began.
