THE C0UScIIMEE SHrRKMo rHE JAPANESE
SwNDLE.-The Board of Councilmen are fight
ing shy of the Japanese swindle. The debate
upon that unparalleled scheme To cheat the city
treasury was set down for yesterday, after
having been postponed from Tuesday, but the
COuncilmen did not venture to touch It at the
meeting last evening 1t was passed over as a
thing that never was. 1t is evident that the
Councilmen intend TO let the matter lie in
allegiance until the public attention is directed
away from it, and then to let 1t slip through
without attracting any particular notice.
They are mistaken, however, if they suppose
that we are going to let II die out, for we are
determined to see it to the end. If it be, az II
is universally believed, gross fraud deliber.
ately concoeted, it should be squelched; or if
II be legitimate claim for moneys honestly
expended upon the entertainment Of the ia
paneee Embassy, the public have q right to
know the items which make up the bill. There
can be no objection to liberal expenditure
upon an occasion such as the visit of the
Japanese Ambassadors, for il was an event
fraught with the highest Importance to the
commercial interests of the country. II it cost
twice as much TO entertain them we would not
complain; but If 100000, or any part of it,
was put to any other use, then we have strong
objections to make against levying that sum
upon the taxpayers; just as we object to the
Corporation charging $1,000 for the expenses
of committee who visited Boston the other
day on some sanitary mission which occupied
about day and a-half, and could not have
cost more than two hundred dollars at the
outside.
That the Councilmen intend To pass this APP
preparation for slO5,0OO sooner or later we
have no doubt, and when they consummate the
act we look TO the Grand Jury to sift the whole
matter to the bottom.

CORPORATE PRofuGACY N BRooSLYS-The
corporation Of Brooklyn seems determined to
vie with tha, Of New York in a reckless disre-
gard Of public opinion. Within the last month
a large addition has been made p the taxation
Of the city in the shape Of contractors jobs and
o general increase In the salaries of officials. A
significant indication Of the manner in which
the swee, voices Of the members of the two
Boards are sained was the treat given to them
by Mr.. Swift, the of'al contractor, the other
day. A steamer was chartered, the materials
for splendid collation. put on board.
and the members and their friends con-
veyed to Barren Island, where, We are told,
they bad good time generally. The Brooklyn
ofial contracts must be profitable affairs to war
rant such an expenditure as this. In the ex-
penses Of the Fire Department we find similar
indications Of an accommodating spirit on the
part Of the two Boards. In FIVE years they have
increased more than one third Notwithstanding
the introduction Of the Ridgewood water and
a decrease In the number Of fires. There Is a
hose job on hand just now which will cos, the
city $4,000 although there is not q shadow Of
