HOW REFORM ~ EvADED.

We were long since cured Of the illusion that
rigid economy in the conduct of public affairs is
popular. On the contrary, We understand quite
well that to try tosave public money is the way
TO incur popular odium. The mob admire agcn-
erous, e-handed fellow, who throws his cash
about az if it were pebbles, and do not ask nor
care how he came by it. The shrewd and cum
ming secretly calculate that, if there is good
deal Of money flying about, they will be likely
to get their full share; the rabble would like to
have our taxes doubled and the surplus flung
into the streets where they might freely scram-
BILE for it. Abstractcdly, people say they like
official frugality; concretely, they regard it as
niggard, shabby and ridiculous. Cato the Cen
sor commands the freezing respect Of the sedate
and observing; but Alcibiades or Absalom wins
the hearts of "the b'hoys."
Still-for shamc's sake, II for no other
thousands would feel constrained to uphold
Reform, if it were not for the ingenious lodges
and evasions of which its enemies always have
a store. Thus, there are hundreds now brawl-
ing through our City that they "will never vote
for Copperhead," who hare voted for persons
thus characterized, and are supporting such for
Ward and School Offices at this election. Some
of them trade votes back and forth each year
electng their Tavortes on either ticket by q
secret reciprocity of favors. None are now
raising more clamor against "going outside of
our own party for candidates." than they who
have so gone every year or two, and will, so
long as they can find their account in it.
Here is another of these unworthy tricks of
speech:
"THg TRIBUNE. having failed 10 throw farns enongh
into the eyes Of the people TO blind them 10 the political
sntecedents Of Mr. Hccker now proosses tho doctrine
Of personal worth and integrity the sole essential
qualification Of q Reform Mayor"
The Times knows that this is not true-knows
that we have in no manner impeached the "per.
sonal worth and integrity" Of Marshall o..
Roberts or Murray HofIman-nowise claimed a
superiority in this respect for Messrs. Hecker
and O'Gorman. But We insist that ono primary
qualification for "Reform Mayor is devotion
to Municipal Reform-a readiness to subordinate
partisan affiliations to tho success Of the Re.
form movement. A "Reform Mayor" should
be one who has voted for candidates not Of his
political faith in Difference 10 the urgent demand
for Reform.
John Hecker, IL not Q candidate. would vote
for Reform nominee whom he deemed worthy
Of politics antagonist to biz owni his rivals.

that Mr.. Hoffman had for two months employed
and paid Russell J. Briggs at the rate OF Sl2
per month, while he, John I. Holman, drew

Of said Briggs, over forty dollars per month Tor

Mr.. HotIman's Office cannot be denied; for the
public records establish it. Russell j. Briggs

One more point:
City life has rare attractions for young bache-
lors. There is much to SEQ and to learn in
great oity-cheap and various amuscments, else
where inaccessible, and raro opportunities to
"see life" Thousands of young men would
gladly come to q great city and live there year
or two. even with a prospect of earning (or
saying) less than in their rural homes. We 10
not here discuss their taste; We rest IN the iact'
If, therefore, our journeymen always remain
iourneymen, glut of skilled labor in the cities
is inevitable: and excess in supply naturally
tends to reduction in price. To counteract thi'
tendency, there should be constant outflow oi
older mechanics from cities-a constant upwaru
movement of journeymen into moro respon'
sible or more independent positions. Where
ten thousand men are huddled together, with
only work enough for FIVE to eight thousand,
the employer may generally obtain labor at his
own price. The remedy for this is not strike
to stand idle, but the oolonizing or drawing of
the surplus into other localities or other pur-
suits.
These suggestions are profered, not as crit
cisms on the views Of our correspondents, but as
our contribution toward better understanding
of the general subject. We stand ready to DO
enlightened, ard to proclaim new truth 80 lar
as We apprehend il.
