NOT so ECONOMICAL AFTER ALI.


The claim is boldly made by the partisans
of the Administration that one of its chief
merits is its economy. This is a pretensiOn
which we cannot allow to pass unchallenged,
and we propose here TO show how unfouDded
it is by some comparisons of the chief items
of public expenditure in the last full year Of
JOhnsOn's Administration with the second year
of Grant's-viz.: the years ended respectively
June 30, 1863, and 1871. First, it is to be noted
that since 1868 there has been n great decrease
of the army. The War Department in
1868 cost $123,2l6G48, and in 1871 but
$44G8O,0Sj. The changes in the military
establishment have been so great that
no comparison of army expenses can be of any
value as a test Of economy. The same obser-
vation equally applies to the navy. We are
now building no new ships OF war, and we
have sold or got rid of a great many old YES
sells which were sources of expense so long as
we kept them. The naval expenses were
$25775,5O3 for the year 1878, and Sl9,43l,g7
for 1901, but the comparison signifies
nothing. Neither on the other hand, with our
present information, do we lay much stress on
the increase of the amount paid in pensions
from S23, 1872 387, in 1868, TO $3i,4i3S9j in 1871
We can only hope that the Government
has not suffered beyond what is to be
expected from the frauds of pension agents
and the periuries of their clients. Owing
to the great changes in the Internal Revenue
laws n comparison of the expenses of that
establishment in 1871 and 1868 is deceptive
The cost of assessing and collecting that
branch of the revenue was S5,750,9jS in 1868
and $7,O7j,187 in 1S71-Ccrtainly reduction
no greater than ought to be expected after the
removal of so many taxes and the simplifca-
ton of the methods Of collection. We also
exclude a number of nominal charges, such as
refunding excess of deposits for unascer-
tained duties,r "debentures and drawbacks
under Customs laws" Internal Revenue
drawbacks" &c, as well as the interest on
the public debt and the expenses Of national
loans. The chief remaining items of public
expenditure, including all admitting of COM
parison and of sufficient magnitude to be taken

THE ,JUDTCI4RY TRIALS

1t appears to be equally difficult for THE
TRIBUNE to please either tie friends or
enemies of the impeached Judges. The Times
of Saturday was wild with illogical rage be-
cause we spoke of a ruling of the Senate on
the McCunn case as a blunder and one who
is evidently a friend of McCunn writes us
complaining on the other hand quite as incon-
sistently that we are insidiousy trying to in
iure him. We will allow these accusations
from opposite and equally unauthorized sources
TO ncutralze each other.
The Times to give it precedence Of notice
which it is not entitled to, says we called the
ruling of the Senate on the admission as evil
dence of the Hanrahan letter a blunder, and
unwarrantably cOnstrues this to mean that
McCunn in our opinion has not had a fair
trial. The inference is good illustration of
The Hmess incapacity either to tell the truth
or to slander with ingenuity. The doubtful
ruling was blunder, and more than that it
was in itself unjust. The letter never was
evidence; the testimony of the only witness
called in reference 10 il, 20 the effect that
McCunn bad never seen OF heard of it, pre-

comparison of the above eighteen items of
public expenditure, aggregating about $780,
100000 for the two years, shows in every in
stance an increase, except in the single partic-
ular of the cost of the Marine Hospital estab-
lishment Here the Administration has effected
a saving of S15S37. Everywhere else we find
increased expense and prOfusion. Comparing
the aggregates, we find the rate of increase for
the three years to have exceeded thirty per
cent! We wish, too, to have it understood
that this Is not deceptive and unfair ar
rangement of selected figures, but full and
Just presentation of the facts. The army and
navy, the pension list, and various technical,
insignificant, and abnormal matters have been
omitted from the comparison, which we have
made as full as we could from the official re-
ports In addition to the exceptions above
described, we have left out 1885, III expended
in 1871 in taking the census, and S7GO,729 paid
in the same year for the unlawful capture of
British vessels. We have simply included in
the table what the Administration and its
creatures in Congress had it in their power to
augment or diminish, according as they were
inefficient and profuse or economical and in
corruptible. The figures tell their own story

Within the last flew days the Board Of
Health have ordered thorough inspection
of all stables, both public and private, with
a view to removing those sanitary condi-
tions which encourage tho rapidly nearing
Gontagion known as the epizootic influenza.
Thorough ventilation, cleanliness and dry
ness of temperature are as much the essen
tials of health among horses as among hu-
man beings. The inspection is being made
under the direction and supervision Of Drs
J. s. Clark in the First District, s s. Her
rick in the Second District, w. II. Hire in
the Third District, A. w. Perry in the
Fourth and Sixth Districts and j. A. Mat
thieu in Algiers and Gretna, and by de-
Gail of police officers selected by the police
commissioners for that purpose.
Up to this time, fortunately, no authentic
case OF the disease has been reported,
though its manifestation is looked for al
most any hour. This disease has somewhat
the symptoms of the glanders, but is very
"a ike in this, that while this terrible dis
ease is only transmitted by actual contacts,
the epizootic is an atmospheric poison. The
letter Of DR.. Clendenin, Of Cincinnati re-
Gently published in our columns, is very
favorably received by scientific men as in
dicating the proper treatment of this disease

Miss Clara Morris Mt the Varieties.

The regular dramatic season of the Varie-
ing, upon which occasion that sterling
young actress Miss Clara Morris, made
her debut before d New Orleans audien ce
as Aane SyIoester in. Augustin Daly's great
five act drama entitled Man and Wife,
This chaste and deeply interesting play is
well calculated to please an intelligent and
refined audience when rendered properly,
and the success that has attended its repre-
sentation during the past week by the new
Varieties company ia substantial proof Of
its high merits.
II is difficult to conceive a finer piece of
acting than is presented by Miss Morris as
the wife of Geofrey DeJn,oy4s in the play Of
MAN and Wife," and in saying this We con.
slider that we are paying the star artist
high and just compliment. Miss Morris in
this play gives q beautiful illustration of
what loving and faithful wife can be even
under the infiction of deep injury tyom the
object Of her affection,
Blanche Llndie, the friend Of The deserted
wife, is also finely rendered by Miss Jane
Rignold, q lady of fine appearance and
much dramatic talent. Nor can we,
in justice, say less Of Mise Jone Burke's
Lady L1s,1dteo The Sir Patrick Lu,,dte Of
Mr. II. Pearson is also a most excellent
piece of acting. We thought the .Geofrey
Deln'dym of MIR. Frederick Robinson little
stiff. but the impression may have come
from dislike of the character more than
from any real defect OF Ar. RobinsOp's acs
ing.
The play. as rendered az the Varieties.
has been very favorably secei7ed, which
mus: be taken as evidence, not only OF the
merits Of she play and She lady who i'm
personates the leading charactes, but Of

What matters it if such a term ID good

is said that Mansard, who was an ar
chitect of great prominence in France, took
his design from a glimpse Of the four walls
of war ruin surmounted by tent, which
itself is quadrangular figure oVer5tretched
by triangular one, and that the idea ger
minated in this sight grew until he set the
ordinary round-topped pavilion in ever
