"9xUOfDI0 OF THE PAST TWENTY-FOUR HOURA
The area of the lowest barometer which
vas Tuesday evening probably in lower
Canada, has moved southwark, and is now
east of New England. Northwestern winds
have continued in the Middle and Eastern
States, increasing to brisk for short time
ON Lake Ontario. The barometer has fallen
very generally east Of the Rock Mountains.
ana Is from Iowa to Louisiana and Texas.
over which region south and sOuthwesterly
winds now prevail, with threatening or
rainy weather: Northerly winds are re-
ported from the upper lakes, with clear
weather, except at the southern extremity
OF Lake Michigan. Snow has continued,
With brisk northerly winds in Wyoming.
Clear weather on the Pacific coast, with
rising barometer in Oregon and falling in
California.
PROBABILITIES.
The low barometer west of the Mississippi
river will probably move northeast. with
southerly winds and rain from the gulf
coast to Kentucky and northeasterly winds
IN Wisconsin and the upper lakes. The
WINDS Will probably back to the southwest
on the lower lakes, and northwesterly winds
continue on the north and east Atlantic
coast. Cloudy and rainy weather will ex-
ten9 on Thursday over Lakes Erie and
michigan, partly cloudy weather on the
south Atlantic, and rising barometer and
clearing weather in Northern New Eng
Land. Dangerous winds are not Anticipated

, Tie Committee Of the Board Of Aldermen
appointed to investigate the municipal frauds
have made report, In which they declare
that they are very much astonished at the re-
cent Developments, and the Aldermen ought
TO do something. 1t Is true, as they say that
the mere publication Of accounts and the de-
nunciationg Of certain guilty individuals will do
little good, unless some vigorous action follow
in the ,coprts; and it Is true that the City
Government tif It IL q government and not
conspifacyl ought TO take measures TO punish
lite own dishonest members. In these days,
when half the rogues In town are running after
Twsed and shouting "StOp thiefp we are not
surprised at any exhibition Of suddenly -acanirod
virtue. d, Even In the Board OF Aldermen
a zeal for reform excites no particular amaze
ment, however incredulous| we may be as TO
it's sincerity. It is true, the Aldermen and
Supervisors did their best 10 smother the In
vestigation, and refused to grant the JOINT
Committee powers to send for persons and
papers which were essential to the prosecu-
ton Of the inquiry. Since then, however, the
citizens associated with the Committee have
published their own report Of discoveries the
Committee of Seventy and Mr.. Tilden. have
brought other things to light; and, as an
average Alderman might say, the game is up
The Aldermen, the Supervisors. and The WOrtd
have no chance now but to fall In with the
popular movement.
But if the Aldermen. are in earnest their
course is plain. They can try their hand on
the Mayor. Whatever may be thought OF Mr..
Halls pecuniary partnership with the Ring,
there is no question that his criminal neglect
of duty enabled the Ring to steal many MIL
lions from the treasury, on fraudulent vouchers
bearing his approval. For this, if for nothing
else. he ought to be removed from office, and
proceedings for his removal can only originate
with the Common Council. The Charter pro-
vides that this body shall have power to I'M
peach the Mayor by resolution of twO-thlrds OF
all tho members elected in each board; and the
Court for the trial of impeaehments shall be the
full bench of the Common Pleas. Now let
the Aldermen introduce resolution to I'M
peach Mr.. A. Oakley Hall. To be sure II
the charges should be sustained, we
should only have Mr.. Conan for Mayor
instead of the present incumbent (unhl the
LEGISLATURE comes TO our relief by abOlishing
the Charter), and we are not certain that the
change would be any improvement But the
moral influence of all impeachment would be
of great value to the cause of Reform, and II
Mayor Hall is guilty of the things laid to bis
charge, 1t is better that he should be turned
out of Office like rogue by the Court OF
Common Pleas than legisated out, like de-
feated politician, by Republican Senate and
Assembly. To stamp the Ring with the brand
of legal conviction and sentence will do us
a world of good. If the Aldermen mean what
they say, we beg them to go ahead,

The information that Tweed il actually pre-
pairing to fly the justice he breads will doubt
less be received with incredibly. But so was
tho story of Garvey's disappearance and Wood
wards flight. Yet this man is as deeply in
VOWED as any of them, and no one knows bet
ter than himself how utterly defenseless he is
in view of the evidence against him which
has been collected by Mr.. 0'ConOr. and his as
sOciates. That Tweed should seek to escape
the State Prison which he knows is ineVita-
bic if he stands his trial. by flight, will
not seem 80 very unnatural when it Is
remembered that behind him the people indig
nantly clamOr for his punishment. Mr.. Tweed
is competent--no man more SOTO appreciate
the fierceness with which he rs pursued by the
people he has wrOnged, and lie knows that
from their vengeance he cannot hope to es-
cape except by fight. To let him escape now
will be to lose the moral fruits of the great
victory which has been gained. His punish
ment at hard labor in the State Prison for the
rest of his life ID demanded by every consider
alton of public and political morality, and
with his incarceration only will the people be
| satisfied

HOW TO SAVE THE CITYS MONEY

Reforming in earnest is an invidiOus, annoy
ing process. Your bully-boy who seatters
public money as though it were chips, raising
salaries and multiplying places on every hand
! is always popular; while retrenching and saw
! ing are niggardly, scrimping, mean. The chap
whose sinecure you abolish or whose salary
you cut down always supposes that you are
actuated by personal spite against him he
wonders why you pursue him with such ma
Lightly, and why you do MT 90 for the big
fellows who get their millions rather than for
his poor little thousand OF 30.
Reform is eminently a matter Of details.
You cannot save public money by Buncombe
speeches nor by the resolves of mass meetings.
You must cut and pare, and not turn up your
nose at this reduction as paltry and that abo-
litiOn of useless place as of no account.
Unless you resolve that not one dollar more
than the public service requires shall be spent
for any purpose, your good intentions will
bear no fruit.
We are soon to have new Charter, where
of the chief end, we trust, will be the erec-
ton of impossible barriers against extravagant
and useless expenditure. To secure this end,
the creation of new places, the sggravation of
salaries, and the payment of extra-aile wances,
must be absolutely fOrbidden-sO sternly that
whoever votes public money away in defiance
of the inteFdict must be liable, at the suit of
any citizen, to be legally compelled to refund
it to the treasury. We must begin by the Wig
orous abolition of useless offices and the cut
ting down Of all salaries to fow-water mark
And then we must require an amendment of
the Charter to authorize any additional expend-
iture. Let every one make seasonably his best
suggestion looking to a saving of public
money. And, since we know more of our own
business than of any other, we here proffer
our mite in tho shape of project for reducing
the cost of the City's Advertising. -.
The Sub Committee on Stationery, Printing,
and Advertising, of the Joint Committee Of
Supervisors and Citizens who recently, hives
tigated our City's finances, reported that since
Jan. 1, 1859 Qess than three years. there
have been paid by the City over Five
AilIiOMs Of Dollars for the purposes above
indicated, against $48o,45a for the two
years 1859 and 1890. In other words, the
CitY's recent eutlay under thedS heads ID ie0lf
times what il was tan years spteyiously. OF
course, thrss4fourthA Of this 90 monstrous
amount was disburAeA imptuvideptly if not
ffaud1lenty.I The. CTR had no need Of any
isuOh outlay, and wan nowise benefited by, it.
And no 'lsss than "a, 100 eO6 rwhs paid out, dur
Ing 1850. 1910, and the eight oarfier lhSnths Of
1871, for Advertising only. IN DO less than
