Besides these suggestions all the good features o T
European cities should be adopted. Violence should
be rendered impossible; panel games and larceny
placed under espionage; citizens should not have
their homes polluted by too close contact Of bawdy
houses. Those hotels in Broadway which invite
open assignations should be proclaimed by the law
TO be what they are. No bars or liquors OF any kind
should be permitted adJuncts. Indecent public
balls should be prohibited. Concert saloons should
be broken up. Open solicitations IN the street should
be interdcted. Let safeguards Of this nature be
framed by the Legislature and the evil VIII be
under police control Then, II there Is not reduc-

The Legislature OF 1853 undertook TO enact laws to
control the evil but the opposition OF moralists
too fierce. 1t was proposed TO levy fine OF 5000
once year upon every house carrying on the busi-
ness, but The objection was tnat the State should
reap no revenue from crime. Efforts VIII soon De
made to rentroduce the subject with a probability
that the authorities Will take some remedial mea
surcs. IL Is useless To dwell upon their necessity.
Every man and woman connected with the missions,
every physician every citizen that cares for the pub

must ACT. Meanwhile the police are collecting sta

THE TAX RATE.

The Finance Committee of Common Council
on Wednesday reported an ordinance fixing
the tax rate for 1871 at 81 80 on the hundred,
to which must be added the cents on the
hundred to provide funds for the erection of
the new public buildings. That this tax rate
will be totally insufficient every member of
Councils knows from past experiences; but if
there were any doubts on the subject, they
should be removed by the array of figures
presented by Mr.. Hetzel, who clearly demon
strated that even if every dollar of the tax
were to be collected, and without taking
into account the many extra appropriations
that will inevitably be called for, but that
cannot now be foreseen, there will be de-
ficiency of $646, Si5'O1 at the end of the
year. 1t is folly for Councils to pretend to
manage the finances of the city in this man.
ner any longer, and the members will not be
doing their duty to their individual constitu-
ents or TO the city at large if they do not fix
the rate at such figure as will cover, with eco
nomical management, the necessary expenses
of the municipal government. The present
method of doing business has already caused
an infinite amount of trouble and embarrass-
ment, but it has no outlook for the future but
disgraceful bankruptcy. In fact, total re-
form in our revenue matters is needed, and
there is no reason why the whole
expense of the city government should be
borne by the owners of real estate. There
are millions of dollars worth Of personal pro-
perty that is available for taxation, aud that
ought to be taxed, and if the taxes were thus
divided among larger number of persons, it
could easily be put at a lower figure even
than the one now proposed. In addition to
this there is source of revenue that ought to
be available to this city that is not at present

COUNCILMAN N1cKELs is q genius. His
ideas on the proposed Paid Fire Department
are especially novel, and as weighty as novel.
He has discovered that ''dirty" means are at
work to secure the passage of the ordinance
creating Paid Fire Department, the said
"dirty" means consisting in the fact that the
insurance companies are anxious to buy votes
in its favor, and are willing to throw away
at least $3.50, 900 in this reckless and repre-
heDsible manner. But, to show that he en-
tertains no ill-will towards the insurance
companies for this insinuation against the
incorruptibility of Councilmen, Mr.. Nickels
opposes Paid Fire Department because the
effect of such system in New York city has
been to lower the rates of insurance and
thereby to drive number of companies out
of existence Insurance companies are
good thing in their way, but we scarcely
think that the general public will complain at
the lowering of the rates of insurance. Per-
sons who own much real estate, especially,
will not be apt to take lowering of the rates
to heart Nor are property owners anxious
to see system perpetuated which keeps up
the rates, and by so doing holsters up weak
companies.

THE annual report of the Secretary of the
Interior appeared in some enterprising news
papers yesterday, and as it is theoretically
document addressed to the President, en-
bracing the history of the transactions of the
Interior up to the latest moment prior to the
meeting of Congress, which does not take
place until the first Monday in December, it
appears decidedly ahead of time. Its publi-
cation involves a breach of faith in some
quarter, as it is not courteous to give this
precious document to the whole American
people before it has been duly inspected by
the high official parties who have the first
right to perusal. How it happened to come
to light thus prematurely is not fully ex-
planned, but in some quarters the intimation
is made that ex-Secretsry Cox, who prepared
it previous to his resign alton, has had some
share in the disclosure. If indeed he has
veritably let the cat out of the bag in this
fashion, he has done more to disgrace himself
than to mortify the administration, for private
griefs or quarrels will never justify the vio-
lations of official confidence by an ex-Cabinet
minister. 1t may turn out, however, that the
whole affair hinges on feat of newspaper
enterprise, and that there has been no exhi-
bition of petty spite work after all.

with Theodore Tiltons Woman Suffrage
Association. The Beecherites are not willing

All the friends of the sixteenth amendment
should rejoice at the determination of the
Beecher people to keep themselves sepa-
rate and apart from the Tilton crowd. Rivalry
is a good thing in every kind of business, and
if there should be no rivalry among the female
suffrsgists, there would be danger of total
collapse.
