had ones the injury to the city will DC
all the greater. The people OF the city
are composed OF two CLASSES. One have
no property, pay q taxes, and very
many OF them appear TO have no interest
in The city government except to live OF
it The other furnish the, revenues that
r,n the government, and have at least one
rxrcllent reason fof wanting it well and
economically managed. 1t certainly be-
comes ali those who want the city well
governed, with the least waste and with

management Of its affairs for the next

hands. Ii considerations Of public inter-

result need be expected, if things are al

the experience everywhere.
