GOING BACK ON THEM.


The New Yerlx World is far from satisfied
with the tone and temper Of the Tribune
since the election. Mr.. Greeley, when he
returned TO the editorial chair Immediately
afer his defeat, 1--WE are reminded) Issued
n proclamation OF neutrality between the
Administration and the opposition. The
World now tells us Ii has been closely
watching the columns Of that journal TO
mud whether II is to be genuine neutrality
or benevolent neutrality" and it has
come to the conclusion that II is to be Of
the latter description, and that the benevo-
lent side of Mr.. Greeley's face Is to be
turned towards General Grant, and the
scowling aide towards the Democratic
party. We quote further -
"The haste with which he forthwith
declared his neutrality between the two
great parties arrayed against each other In
the late contest, would be thought sur
prisipg IN any other man. Even II he had
fought In the ranks, instead Of being the
generallsslmo Of the opposition forces,
there are many spectators who would have
thought his new attitude unbecomiug. But
for the very leader Of the opposition to
declare himself neutral the moment his
personal battle was lost, looked too much
as II, In his estimation, no great principles
had been at stake In the campaign, and
he felt at liberty TO desert the cause as
soon as no found II would not Inure TO his
own advantage. No public man can afford
TO tribe In this way with his character for
sincerity"
But this is not all. The World goes on
to sayi
awe have noticed In the Tribune, since
Mr.. Greeley's return, various other things
having a similar squint, and looking like
indirect proffers to make his peace with
the Administration, In our judgment,
even neutrality would be inconsistent with
his aggressive position as the opposition
leader In the recent canvass much more
these speedy proflcrs Of reconciliation.
The declaration Of neutrality itself was
promise that Mr.. Greeley would no longer
act with the opponents Of the Adminislra-
tlon when he had ceased to have any per-
sonal interest in the warfare; but when
the neutrality Immediately becomes abe
neyolenL" towards Grant, and Is accom-
panied with strong expressions Of conf
dence in the future good conduct of his
administration on the one great point
which the speeches Of his opponent repre-
scented as vital, the effect is little bewll-
dering on those who ever put any trust in
Mr.. Greeley's steadiness."

the utilization of Sewage aud
1urhA&a


We see It stated that Long Island
farmers clean the CUTTERS Of the city of
Brooklyn for the sake of the fertilizing
matter they contain. The time must come
when this sort Of economy will be prac-
tleed on larger scale by the agrlcultur-
lists around every city. The WASTE Of city
sewage Is little short Of suicidal, and Is one
of the many reasons why agriculture has
ecllned in profit In these thickly popu-
lated Eastern States. We pour our riches
Into the sea and wonder why the farmers
on the virgin soil of the west drive our
products out OF the markets Of the world.
Soil need not deteriorate by cultivation If
no part Of its products is wasted, aud all
II produces, except the very limited por.
ton which goes into the formation Of the
bodies we die In, can be put back upon the
ground by careful management and intel
llgent system.
This matter Of the utilization of sewage
should never be lost sight Of, but there is
one branch of It which demands immedi-
ate attention from the people of this city
and the surrounding country. We all
know the trouble we had about garbage
last summer, and how at last, at a very
considerable expense to the city, the nui-
sance resulting from Its accumulation was
In some degree abated. Now there ought
10 be no difficulty of this kind, nor ought
the removal Of garbage to involve one cent
of cost to the city.
The Stops made in the city will richly
repay owners OF hogs for their prompt re-
moval before they have had time to spoilt
and all that Is needed is the establishment
of extensive hog pens within a convenient
distance Of the city, by individuals or a
corporation, and the giving of the exclu
siYe right to the removal of garbage to
such individuals or corporation by the city.
Some regulation to prevent the placing Of
Injurious substances in slop-barrels by
house-keepers might be needed, and reas-
enable and well-disposed house keepers
will cheerfully comply with such, while
the contumacious should be compelled to
comply. We commend the matter to the
careful consideration of Couucllmen, and
to our readers In both city and country.

The President and ClyiI Service
RefOrru.


There is CONSERVATION in the camp Of
the politicians. The President of the
United States gives evidence that he will
refuse to regard in a Pickwickiau sense,
the formal professions of the Convention
which nominated him, in favor of Civil
Service Reform. but that he will actually
apply them in his appointments to office.
The first instance In point has been in
Philadelphia. The postmastership there
Is about to become vacant, and the DON'T
naut wing of the dominant party had
settled on one Mr.. Truman as the gentle
man whose "efiicient services In the cam
palgn" entitled him to this rich plum of
Federal patronage. But inside the Phlla-
delphia post office, and holding the posi-
ton of Chief Clerk for years, is one Mr..
Fsirman, who is, like many such men,
virtually postmaster, 1t is said, and he is
the man the President iniimates he will
appoint, If he passes the requisite exami-
nation under the new Civil Service rules.
That is to say The vacancy caused by
Postmaster Biugham's resignation is to be
filled by promotion if one of his subordl-
mates proves tit for it. No more ieasOna-
bic, Just aud proper mode of filing public
offices could be devised, and if General
Grant adheres to the policy he has indi-
Gated in this matter during bis second
term he will win the highest praises from
the people at large and the bittcrest curses
from the professional politicians. If he
does, however, he may look for storm of
execratlon against him from many Of his
recent supporters which will surpass in
bitterness and fury anything the late cam
paign has witnessed in the way of abuse
and vindictiye yiuperation.
