$4,000 for repairs and supplies, SlOo,ooo i'f
pay and contingencies Of Council, 800, 900 docks
snd slips, $50 900 streets, real estate and rents,
besides great number of small sums, varying from
81 900 to 10000 each. 1t n mainly through these
large appropriations that the city is robbed yet 50

Mayor Wood, 20 into Office without money aud
come cut rich, no one is able, or, at least no one
who is willing is able, to say TO the person sa'-
pected, Thou art the man."
Ten years ago, the people grumbled loudly at the
extravaganza Of S2,5CO,OOO taxation; FIVE years
sgo the aggregate was less than 100000 aud
that was in the days of the notorious Council Of
I6jO-52. Now we have budget of s., OOo, 900, of
which well nigh half goes for the bene6. of Off
GERS, contractors and spoismen generally. Com
plant, however noisy, is useless; and the public
submit in dumb depair to system fplander quite
as bold us, and far more grandiose, than anything
ever accomplished by hishwaymen and pirates. The
good-natured jeer which once hailed the successful
candidate for Office, now has caustic reality, and
the loss of character is in the majority of cases, too
surely the result Of undertaking any service for the
city. Yet what shall We say to those easy citizens
who pay these enormous taxes, and yet stand aloof
to decry snd abuse their agents The men most in
tesested in good government scarcely 90 to
the polls, never to the primary meetings, where
the real choice of money spenders is effected.
We tell these thrifty BUSINESSMEN, as we have
often told them, that grunbling and appealing to
the Legislature, charge of laws and change of
oicers is all in vain, unless they come to the work
10 the nominating Col yentions and secare the
selection Of honest candidates. They must select
their own agents and do their own share OF the
work of government, if they would be relieved
from Wholesale robbery. There are many honest
men in office, but also many rogues, and not few
who are honest or dishonest as the head of the
Department may require.
II is probable that we shall soon have some i'm
portanr changes IN the City Charters but let US
reierate that all will be in vaiD so far as economy
is concerned until the solid citizens take their part
at the primary meetings and the ballot-box take
Office themselves, and exercise the controlling
influence to which they are entitled. Let them do
this, and the City Government account may be
speedily reduced by the amount of two or three
millions, with cleanliness and order insured instead
of their opposites as at present.
