THE STATE ENGINEER And SURVEYOR.
Does any one believe that for the last
twelve years immense fraud and dishonesty
have not been constantly going on in the adj
minstration of canal affairs Is the Canal
Ring a myth7 Is it necessary that the people
of this State, in addition to three million dol
lars a year received from the tolls, should tax
themselves three millions more for the canals !
Some one is responsible for the admitted ex-
travapance. waste and fraud, and the persons
who have most conspicuously and disastr0usly
failed in rendering faithful and honest service
IN tbe State are the Canal Commissioners and
State Engineers.
LET any man of ordinary good sense read
over the provisions contained in the Revised
Statutes relating to the duties of the State
Engineer and Surveyor, and he will be con-
WINGED that Attorney General Barlow must be
right in denouncing as he does State Engineer
William b. Taylor, Republican candidate for
fourth term as State Engineer, as not lit to
he voted for by any honest man. Mr. Barlow
Is n member of the Canal Board He has for
nearly two years been associated with Mr..
TAYLOR as a member of that Board, and must
he presumed to know what Mr.. Tayl0rs
qualifications are. He must also, as Attorney
General. be presumed to be familiar with the
laws. and to know what the laws require from
Mr.. TAYLOR. No one can deny that great weight
should be attached to Mr.. BarlOw's very posi-
tive statement.
The statute says: "Whenever the State En-
"gineer and Surveyor or either of the Canal
Commissioners, shall suspect any fraud or
misconduct on the part of any engineer or
assistant, in relation to the public works, it
'shall be his duty to report the same to the
"Canal Board, who may employ so many and
"such agents and engineers ~ they deem
"proper to aid them in the investigation of
"the NATTER This il but one of many pro-
visions defining the powers and duties of the
State Engineer. How much fraud or miscon-
duct has State Engineer Taylor brought to
light in the six years he has occupied that
oHice2 His defenders attempt to cast the
responsibility for the frauds of the Canal Ring
upon the Legislature. The State Engineer is
represented as an officer who has nothing. to
do but TO execute the will of cle Legislature
without asking any questions. Let us see.
The statute makes it the duty of the State
Engineer TO furnish the Legislature the es-
timated cost of work under contract, and
such suggestions as he may deem the public
interest to require. Upon this information
and these suggestions, which no ono but the

A CASE IN POINT.

Some days ago we stated our reasons for
dissenting from the frequently expressed
opinion that the late financial crisis should be
considered a simple "scare." We held that
the revelations made'almost daily about prom
inent individuals and corporations were sufii-
cient to shake the confidence of any people.
And now we have marked Illustration of the
truth of our statement.
During the panic several firms represented
at the New-York Stock Exchange oyerdrew
their bank accounts under circumstances which
seemed to demand investigation. Accordingly
q Committee was appointed by the Exchange
to ascertain the facts One of these firms was
that of Edward Haight g. Co., and Yesterday
the Committee reported the result of its in
vestigation of their case. The revelations are
so startling and significant that we must give
brief statement of them.
The firm consists of Edward Haipbt. his
brother-in-Iaw, w. NJ. Burgoyne, and his son.
Edward Haight,,jr. Mr.. Haight, ST.. was for
some years President of the Bank of the Com
monwealth, and has been quite prominent
layman of the Episcopal Church. lie has en-
joyed a high reputation as a man of wealth
and integrity, reputation which his son has
shared. MIR. Burgoyne had an unfortunate
experience few years ago with another Wall
Street hosse, and, on account of complications
arising therefrom, could not publish his name
as partner. The firm began business some
three years since on a capital of $4,000.
and, up to the time of their sudden collapse
appeared to be thriving. They advertised
freely, received considerable deposits, and
dealt largely in commercial paper But they
also, unfortunately, dealt heavily in stocks
Mr.. Burgoyne opened three accounts. desig-
mated on the ledger by initials only, which
initials, he assured his partners, as they claim,
represented friends of his and men of ample
pecuniary means. Only one of these men, the
President of a prominent bank in this city,
was known TO Mr.. Haight and his son, and
with him they never had any direct BUSINESS
intercourse-all the transactions being made

under the caucus system upon partisan tickets.
Not one has been urged, except that the sys-
TEN of appointment is inconsistent with the
idea of popular government; and common
sense and observation teach the fallacy of
that. All our offices are not filled now by
popular election. It would be absurd to say
they should be. No one pretends to say that
the filling of hundreds of other offices by
Executive appointment argues distrust OF
the people, or is contrary to the
spirit of popular government And yet there
is no Office that from the very nature OF its
functions so much demands to be removed az
far az possible from the field of politics ana
the influence of parties as the judicial. why
not then take it clean out of the hanus' ho'
of the people, but of the managing politicians
who offer the voter only a choice between tno
two they select and put it in the hands OF
rcsnonsibe Executive whose field of selection
is not limited by any caucus OF parry ou, u,

caucuses offer you two candidates TO choose
