THE HEALTH BILL.

IN, n Y Times has our thanks for letting
is readers see that We desire the passage of
Health BILL and do not desire that it shall be so
shaped as to give additional power and patron
are to The T;mess peculiar stripe of City
Politics. That is the whole case in
nutshell. We have made no objection
ia the four doctors named in the Senate
bill, though we think it would be polite
to have one Of the four selected from among
our Adopted Citizens, who compose at least hall
the population of our City, and among whom
much of the work Of conserving the Public
Health must be done. Some of our German
born PHYSICIANS adorn the highest walks OF
their profession, and one of them would worthily
fill O seat at the Health Board. And We think
Gov. Fenton likely to select as wisely. and Win
as little regard to psrtisanship, as the concoct'
ers Of the Senate bill
What we most especially object to, however
is the comforting of large, indefinite patronage
on the Police Board mot the Health Board) to
the entire satisfaction Of Mossrs. Sheridan
Shook, Vim. X. Stewart, Cummings II. Tucker
and their confederates i'll running the Union
machine here in that Conservative interest
whercto The Times is devoted. We object Ia
giving that interest more power at the public
expense and shall prevent it ii we can. And
that is the gist Of tho matter.

RAISING SALARIES,

There are a good many bills under coasidera-
ton at Washington or at Albany which propose
to fix or to "equalize the compensation OF
certain functiOnaries, while others bluntly say
they propose to "raise such and such salaries;
which is the manlier way. For you never saw
proposition to "equalizo " two salaries by re-
ducng one of them, or to SIX " them in any
way which did not take more money out Of the
Treasury. Whenever salaries are fixed, or
regulated" or "equazed," the taxpayers
are sure to suffer.
Now we hope none Of these bills will pass;
and here are our reasons:
Prices are tending downward. We must re-
turn to Specie Payments Several hundreds
Of millions of National obligations fall due with
in year or two which are payable in coin;
and, if we have not returned to Specie Payment
when payday comes, it will cost immense
sums in premiums to renew these loans.
There is neither honor, nor safety, nor economy,
in remaining insolvent one hour longer than
we must. And We cannot know that we are
unable to resume till we earnestly try.
But Resumption implies lower Currency prices
much lower. The merchant must take less
for his goods; the farmer must sell his goods
several per cent. Off So Of every one else.
This will make as all feel poor, even though the
intrinsic value Of what they receive may be the
same as before. But the farmer will say: Il
sold my butter last year at 40 cents, and now
get but 25;" the merchant will say, II bought
my stock of goodsfor $40, 900, and they have
only brought me $s,0OO;" and so Of the rest.
No matter though the s., 900 be actually more
than the $40, 900 was, most men will feel that
Resumption has made them poorer. And it
uN be harder to pay heavy tax-bill in par
currency than in a circulating medium which
was worth but 20 cents to the dollar.
And now, when all are pinched and pushed
for money, and most men can with difficulty
pay their heavy ta1-blls, to pass bill incrcas-
ing salaries, just when salaries are greatly in
creasing in real value, is madness. A farmer
will say, "This office.holder could mt be salts
fed with the salary that suficed him when my
produce brought me one-thrd more than it now
does-he must have more and there will be
general discomfort and grumbGng. And there
ought to be.
Men and brethren don't bury US under this
load! We can't stand it.
