raises doubts upon the plalnest dictates OF

officials charged with the settlement OF claims
against the City to take competent advice as

to contest a demand to which there Is no
legal defense. And when we speak OF compe-

NEEDLESS LITIGATION.

We have no doubt that Mayor Havemeyer
believed he merely did his duty when he re-
fused to cOuntersign the warrant for the pay
ment of part of the share of the City in the
cost of the Fourtha ave. improvement. There
was show of plausibility in the argument
that the act of the Legislature under which
payment was demanded was unconstitutional,
and there was certainly strong reason for
holding that the bargain with the Harlem
Railroad Company was grossly unequal one.
Believing as he did, the Mayor was bound of
course to take every proper precaution for the
protection of the taxpayers. The Supreme
Court has decided in favor of the Railroad ;
and it is perhaps superfluOus to add that the
Mayor in whose constitutional obstinacy there
is something deliciously grotesque, purposes
taking the case to the Court of Appeals,
where we suppose it will remain as long as
he continues to be Mayor.
We say nothing as to the merits of this par
t;cuar dispute, but it seems to us that the
municipal departments of late have rushed
into reckless prodigality of litigation which
threatens to be much more costly than reck-
less expenditure. The dOckets of the courts
are crowded with cases IN which the City is
defendant, and it has become an understood
thing that hardly any species of claim against
the corporation can be collected without te-
dious and sometimes expensive lawsuit If the
result of this method of doing business were
to save the taxpayers from fraudulent and
unjust claimants, no honest citizen would COM
plain But almost every case ends in judg-
ment against the City.
The fact is the stupendous populations of
the old Tammany Ring have made some OF
our administrative refOrmers extraordinarily
cautious, and their caution-an excellent
thing in itself-has taken wrong direction

lawful reserve in the issue department or the
Bank of England, the same sort OF complica-
tiops would be created as We now see In the
United States. In the existing state of the laws
we look upon the distinctions between legal
tender and bank paper money as simply 80 many
nuisances. Why the labor of some hundreds OF
industrious men and women ana the SERVICES
of a great express company should DC lhces-
sanity employed at q heavy expense 10 1etch
and carry, and sort out, and mark and num-
ber, and pile up in thousands of packages,
millions of bits of paper, in order that thing
may be exchanged for another thing, as near
like it in every essential property as one pin
is like another, we have never been able to
understand. We all prefer the clean for the
dirty, but it seems to us that means might
have been found to give us reasonable salts
faction in that respect without investing Sl7,-
100000 in quack medicine.
We do not think that the adoption of our
scheme would add to the power already pos
sessed by Congress, and for thirteen years
most freely used, of committing outrageous in
Justice upon those having given, or under con-
tract to give, their labor, or anything else OF
value, for what the Government mighechOose
to call money. Our proposal has reference only
to the actual state of the currency. If any one
will point out any injustice to the banks, or
to the people, either debtors or creditors, that
will be caused by giving the project the form
and force of law, we will most cheerfully
abandon it. We simply throw it out as a sub
ject for reflection in connection with the great
subject of redemption of paper with paper.
