we think, to consider whether the Board OF
Health can do tho work, on tho present plan,
any better than the Board of Police. We have
tried both. and If one is more efficient than
the other it is probably the Police, for the
simple reason that the Police can enforce
it's own regulations, while the Board of
Health can only issue its commands
waiting for the Police to carry them into exc
cutiOn. What We need is not new set OF
inspectors, but new system; plan that can
embrace the prompt removal Of snow and ice,
the regulation of the railroad snow-sweepers,
the utilization of sewage and garbage. the
separation of fertilzing substances from tho
refuse of the streets, and rigorous economy
not only in the work of sweeping and cartlng,
but in tho disposal Of the valuable substances
which arc now thrown upon the dumping

beyond the genius of our inventors to give US

TIE LICENSE or THE BAR.

Lord Chief Justice COckburn has now Occu-
pied about two weeks in summing up, for the
benefit of the jury, the evidence and argu-
ments in the great TichbOrne case which has
been so long before the court. We forget how
much time has been consumed in the trial of
this extraordinary question Of identity, in its
various phases. but the pending prosecution
for perjury has already taken up over one
hundred and eighty working days, and is still
unfinished 1t will long be remembered not only
for it's unparalleled prolxity, butfor the strange
scenes which have attended its progress /;
and among these the most curious per-
haps are the violent disagreements be-
tween the bench and the bar, amount
ing at times to something like personal
alterations. We have seen some strange
examples of juIidical indeeorum in this
country; but no American can read without
amazement The vigorous language in which
the Lord ChiefJustice of England began his
summing up in the Court of Queens Bench.

abuse in which the learned counsel for the
"defendant thought proper to indulge. And
in what way were our circumstances met
"By contumely. disrespect, insult, by covert
illusions TO Scroggs and Jeffries, judges of
"infamous reputc, as IL the spirit of Scroggs
"and Jeffrics animated the administration Of
"justice in the present day. I think that il
ait did the learned counsel for the defendant
"would have been laid by the heel and put
"asidc. That was the way we were met, and
"with suggestions that wo were interfering
"with the liberty and the privilege of the
"bar." This is strong language, and we con-
fess that it is not pleasant to hear it from the
lips of judge who is expected to preside
with the calm compOsure of absolute impair
TALLY over the debate before him. But any
body who has read the trial will admit that it
was well deserved, and that under the cir
cumstances the rebuke was called for.
We do not believe any Judge In Ncw-York
would submit for moment to such gross dis
respect as DR.. Kenealy continually exhibited
to the Queens Bench; and if the counsel for
tho claimant should remove to this country
and repeat before the Hon. Noah Davis the
impertinences he has practiced in London, he
might count, if we NAV judge from the expe-
rience Of Mr. Tweed's lawyers, upon ten or
fifteen years Imprisonment and fine to the
full measure of his fortune. But 1t is lament
able to say that in the treatment of witnesses
DR.. Kenealy is by no means solitary black
guard. Every man who knows the New York
Courts can point to two or three conspicuous
practitioners in whose hands no character is
safe. The "foul and slanderous imputations,"
the filthy suggestions" the scandalOus
aifronts with which DR.. Kenealy attempted to
backen every witness whose testimony told
against him-these are the familiar weapons
Of class Of criminal lawyers who disgrace
their profession and Obstruct the admInistra-
ton of justice,-and if the victim of their out
ragcOus treatment happens to be woman,
they seem to take q special relish in the ex-
ercse. 1t is no excuse for this sort OF abuse
that every defendant is entitled to break
down the witnesses of the prosecution II he
can No lawyer has license to blast good
character for the sake of his client; no honest,
self respecting lawyer will try to do it; and
our judges might very properly consider
whether it is not their duty to Interfere Wig
orousy to protect honest witnesses from the
violence to which certain notorious counsel
Ors subject them.

PHILADELPHIA is to hold her first election
since the adoption of the new State Constltu-
ton next Tuesday. The main interest
centers on the choice of a Mayor. whose
term of Office will extend over into
the Centennial year. The present Mayor IS
candidate for reelection, and is heartily
supported by the old Ring A. X Mcclure is
the candidate of tho opposition, but few
among the most sincere and capable of the
reformers, doubling his sincerity in the cause,
refuse to support him on tho ground
that he has also the support OF gamblers
and other disreputable persons. We do
not know to what extent this may be true,
but it generally happens that the gamblers
and their kind cOntrive to get on the winning
side. We do not remember hearing any of
our respectable Government bankers last year
Directing to Grant and Wilson because q
majority of the gamblers went for them. or
because that eminent statesman. MIR. William
NJ. Tweed. after hOnOring The TRIBUNE by
emphatic expressions of his dislike to tho man
ner in which it was conducted, announced his
intention also to support Grant.
Sincere friends of reform in Philadelphia
write to us complaining that The TRIBUNE, in
ing the election of Col. Mcclure. THE TRIB-
UNE wants to favor what will be the greatest at
tainable good in the direction of reforming the
City Government. What Mayor Stokley has
done, or permitted to be done, in the way OF
tampering with elections and encouraging the
Ring, which has in Philadelphia EMU
lated the achievements of our late New
York dictators, we all know Col
Mcclure has been put forward by the re-
formers who triumphed in the new Constitu-
ton. If they have better candidates it is a
great pity they did not select better; but
nothing which we have heard from
the very respectable and sincere gen.
temen who dissent from their action
has led us to doubt that as between the
two candidates Mcclure should have the vote
of those who seek the reforms to which the
new Constitution was hailed as first step.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1874-02-16

With regard to the years 1866. 1857, and 1858
it is evident that no fair comparison can be
made between them and 1873, under either OF
the four heads embraced in our table. In
those years the Army and Navy had not been
reduced to a peace footing, the Public Debt
had not been funded nor the amount payable
for pensions ascertained. Neither do we re-
gard the annual charge on the Public Debt or
the payments for pensions as falling within
the bounds of an inquiry into the extrava-
gance or economy with which the Gov
eminent il administered. Any one dis
posed to give credit to the Treasury
Department for ability in the management OF
the Public Debt may do so. 1t is clear, how
ever, that the interest on the bonds must be
paid, be it more or less, and if any credit is
to be given for reducing the interest. such
credit belongs to the Secretary of the Treas
ury, since he has acted without authority OF
law in his funding operations. As to the Army
and Navy, it appears that while the eXpendi-
lures under these heads but little more than
doubled in the twenty years from 1910
to 1860, they much more than doubled be-
tween 1860 and 1873. In the former period
we had great extension of territory, and
great increase in the size and quality OF our
Navy. In the latter, setting aside Alaska, we
have had no increase of territory, and our Navy
in size and efficiency is but little if at all,
superior to what it was at the close of 1850.
Turning now to the three other branches OF
expenditure which go to make up the cost of
Government, we have the following astounding

which the Secretary proposed. Even IN the
matters Of the illegal operations with the Syn
dictate and tho overissues at various times OF
legal tender notes, Congress must share the
responsibility with tho Treasury, since it has
in neither case interfered
We oonfne our remarks now to a single
point of the many touched on by MIR. Dawes
namely, the rapid growth of the cost OF Gov
eminent. Mr.. Dawes says that the cost OF
Government has greatly increased. The
TRIBUNE made the same discovery nearly
two years ago, but the fact now bids fair to
become much more widely known. since Re
publican Congressman of the standing OF MIR.
Dawes are asserting it in manner to COM
mand attention. For our share in enlighten-
ing the people as to the way the taxes are
disposed of, we are about TO quote
q few figures from the official reports OF
the Secretary of the Treasury and the Post
master General. The expenditures of the
Government are classed by the Secretary OF
the Treasury under six heads: 1. Army; 2,
Navy; 8, Interest on Public Debt; A, Pensions;
s, Indians; 8, Miscellaneous To these we
shall add seventh viz. the POst-0ffce, con-
corning which no particulars are given in the
reports of the Secretary of the Treasury. For
the cost of the Post Office we have had re-
course to the Postmaster Generals report.
Every item we are about TO give is official,
and may be easily verified by reference to tho
reports we have named. We shall first pre-
sent table of the expenditures during the
last eight fiscal years lending June 3O) for the
Army. Navy, Pensions and Interest on tho
Public Debt, annexing for comparison the cor
responding expenditures for the years 1S4o,
1850 and 1860 To simplify the comparison we
shall give round numbers below the hundreds
of thousands. The exact figures may be found
on pages Ia to 1S of the tables accompanying
the report of the Secretary OF the Treasury

THE PROBLEM or TIE STREETS.

The Committee of the Legislature which
came here last week to inquire whether the
present system of street cleaning in New
York was open to the charges Of mismanage-
ment and extravaganza made its visit at an
opportune moment 1t was hardly necessary
to call for the testimony of citizens. The
facts lay open before the Committees eyes.
Broadway was sluggish stream of deep
brown mud, through which carriages iolted
violently, at imminent danger to their springs.
The railroad avenues displayed great mounds
and ridges of black, unsighty substance
to which science has not yet applied q
name. Some of the side streets were nearly
impossible. Everywhere filth offended the eye
and soiled the person of the unfortunate
pedestrian. The cutters in the poorer quarters
of the city reeked with foul exhalatiOns, and
the sewers were closed. The hard rain of the
latter part of the week brought some relief as
it flooded the dirty streets, melting the muddy
ice, and sweeping away the dark tide to the
rivers, but it brought abundant discomfort and
damage also as it poured over the frost-bOund
conduits and deluged the slippery sidewalks.
1t generally happens that men get more than
they want when they wait for the forces of
Nature to do the work that Ought to be per-
formed by the labor of their own hands.
The condition Of New-York after every
snow storm is q sufficient answer to the Ques-
ton whether our present system of street
cleaning is extravagant and inefficient. At
such times the system breaks down altogether.
The machinery comes to full stop. The
brooms aud carts which carry away some of
the surface dirt from few chief thorough
fares IN fine weather ace laid aside then, and
J." street cleaning" * suspended until sunshine
and warm rain have dispersed the accu-
mutations of the frosty days. Under
the best of circumstances New-York is
foul enough; but in Winter it is disgrace to
any civilized community, a bitter satire upon
popular government and the boosted ingenuity
of the american nation. The Legislature
wastes its time when il solemnly inquiries
whether New-York is clean, and whether q
million dollars year is too much to pay for

The expenditures under each of the above
heads for the year 1874 will considerably ex-
coed those of 1873. The expenditures for 1860
were regarded in those times as exhibiting
monstrous extravaganza, and contributed their
full share to the overwhelming defeat Of the
party in power in November of that year. II
the reader will be at the pains to compare any
year in the above list subsequent to the war
with any preceding year, or with either of the
years 1910, 1850, or 1860, he cannot fail to
notice the rapid growth of National expendi-
ture. 1t is true the personal party whose
"cause" is said to be imperiled at the Fall
elections contrived to make some show of re-
trenchment when a President was to be
chosen, but the retrenchment disappeared as
soon as the election was over. 1t is the duty
of Congress to limit its appropriations so as
to make it impossible to squander money
needlessly in the administration of the Gov
eminent. We leave it to the people, with the
record of the Forty second Congress fresh in
their memories, and the Forty third Congress
in session under their eyes, to Judge how that
duty is and has been performed.
