ECONOMICAL GOVERNMENT.

We have frequently said that from be-
gthe cheapest governed country in the
world under Democratic rule, our gov
ernment of late years has been the most
costly and corrupt of all civilized coun-
tries.
This remark is especially applicable to
the federal government, and it would
seem tobe true with regard to the State
government of New York. The N. Y
Trib,rnt, of late date, thus compares the
expenditures for the six New England
States and New Jersey in the same table

Here are seven States, with seven Leg
islatures, seven sets of officers, and seven
separate Governmental organizations,
and with a population larger than that
of the State of New York, and yet con-
ducting all their separate establishments
at an aggregate cost of one-and-a-half
million dollars less per year than the
single government of the State of New
York. Again, the three States which,
after New York and Massachusetts,, have
the most expensive governments, are
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois. We
omit the principality of Louisiana, be-
cause the people there cannot be held
responsible for government which is
not of their choice. The following table
shows the population in 1870, and cost OF
the three States named, which, after
New York, are the most populous in the
Union:

1t is just as We expected. The Clncin-
matt Enquire, goes stark ravingmad now
with the rag-money jimjams. The poor
sheet doesn't seem to realize that the
opposition has made its heaviest gains
in such hard money States as New York,
New Jersey, Massachusetts, Pennsylya-
mia, Illinois and Michigan, while the Re
publican party has held its own only IN
initiation Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota.

SHAM INVESTIGATIONS THE CA USE.

1t is Just possible that there would have
been different result to the October and
November elections had the committees
appointed to investigate various charges
Of official malfeasance and wrong-doing
been more thorough and exhaustive in
their labors, and not have produced the
the painful conviction upon the public
mind that they were organized not TO
convict but to save.
UNHEEDED WARNINGS.
[CineinndR Gasetts-Rep.l
The election in New Hampshire last
spring was warning to men in Office to
remember that they we're not in power
to fill their own pockets. Other like ad-
monitions were given from time to time,
and real tocsin was rung out in Octo-
Der. This last admonition was rather a
presage of approaching disaster than a
call to better practices. The day when
repentance could secure victory had
passed. The Republican overthrow in
November was thus not unexpected,
GRANTS ORGAN INTERPRETED.
lChicugo Tri6me-Ind.
A Washington newspaper, whose
words are generally supposed to be in
spired by Administration oracles, ex-
plains the late Democratic success with
remarkable force and perspicuity. The
immediate cause is said to be the inves-
tieation Of Republican corruption by the
present Congress, and the remote cause
to the want Of Republican leader with
the disposition and power to protect the
thieves. This statement is much nearer
the truth than the Washington organ j:
accustomed to travel. II the organ hat
said further that the thieves were so bolc
and greedy as to defeat the attempt!
towards their protection, its reflections
would have been quite complete.
NATIONAL SUCCESS PREDICTED

: The Republican party must not coun
upon Democratic excesses. That part.
,, has now strong hope of national sue
cess. II ithas any tact or shrewdncss
will scrupulously avoid those measure
by which public opinion at the Nortl

misdeeds.

Here again we find three States, with
three separate organizations of the Leg
islative, Executive, Judicial, and Educa-
tional systems, with population in 1873
more than double that of New York, yet
costing one million dollars less to govern
We cannot reconcile these facts with the
boast of economy of the party which for
the last three years has had control of
the Legislature and most of the execu-
tive offices of New York.
Approaching this question from an
other point of view, let us look at the
growth Of the taxes, From page l23 OF
Controller Hopkins last report, we take
the following figures, showing ~ the
aggregate amount of the State tax, ex-
elusive of the school taxes; (2) the ag-
gregate of county, town, city and school
taxes, and (3) the total of State and local
taxes for every fourth year since 1916;

Nore.-The State tax for the year 1873,
does not include any portion Of the 3
5-lOths mill deficiency tax, which was
levied in 1872. The tax Of 1873 is, in
fact 3-1Oths of mill less than that lev
led by the Legislature of 1874 for the
current year. The reduction. or station
ary state. of the taxes Of the town and
cities, since 1855, is accounted for by
their electing of late years to raise large
sums of money bp selling their bonds, an
expedient which happily the State is
prexented by its Constitution from re-
sorting to ad Rbihm on every occasion.
The above record enforces its own les
son. The growth of the taxes is only
comparable to that of 0thello's revenge;
Like to the Pontiac sea,
Whose icy current and compnlsive course
Ne'er feels retiring ebb, but keeps due on

and ruin is the only termination unless

has not even doubled, but the State taxes
are THRU fve times as great as they wert

Important Decision.

An important decision has recently
been made by the Supreme Court Of
Iowa. In 1872 fire broke out in
DesM"ines, during which the Mayor
THE Chief Engineer of the Fire De
partment being absent from the city,,
ordered the destruction of two sma /
buildings belonging to Dr. A. g
Field, in order to stop the progress of
the fire. The city refused to pay for
the buildings, and the Doctor brought
sut in the District Court, which decl-
ded for the city. The case was taken
to the Sureme Court, where the
judgment Of the Circuit Court was
affirmed. The points of distinction
in tn" decision are Tie law OF selt-pre-
servation, and that Of eminent domain.
The Court says that, for the common
wealth a man shall. suffer damage; for
the saving of town house shall be
plucked down, if the next be on fire;
that the rights OF private property are
subject to the higher demands of pub
lie welfare; and, in.case of imminent
danger aud public necessity any indi
vidual or pub c officer may raze or
demolish houses or other combustIble
structures, to prevent the spread OF
conhagrations, and without RESPONSE
biity to the owner for damages
Hence in the absence eft any statute
creating liability, municipal corpo
rations, whose officers are by statute
and by ordinance authorized to order
the destruction of any building or
fence when they shall deem it neces
sary to arrest the progress of or extln
guish fire. are not liable to the per-
son whose property is thus destroyed.
