of one of the public creditors. Now who re-
commended Van Dyck to employ Davis at an
expense of $1,OOOf Mr.. Van Dyck testiiies
that it was none other than Controller Hop
kins, and the Controller is unable to give an
explicit contradiction to this damaging state
ment, though his Impression is that van
Dyck suggested the name OF DAVIS MN
self But this is not all for it appears that
the Attorney General had already told the Con-
troler that the claim was good, and the Dep
uty Attorney General had given the Controller
the same opinion, and Mr.. Thayer knew that
the opinion had been given when he shaved
the claim, and all these officers had talked
over the cmbaTrassments of Mr. Baxter anu
the Justice of his demand. There was really
no doubt whatever about the legality OF the
payment but the machinery of the Controllers
department could not be set in motion until
somebody had been roundly paid.
The Commission tells the story Of another
case almost precisely similar. In December,
1874, Isaac V. Baker, President of the New
York and Canada Railroad applied to Con-
trollcr Hopkins for the payment of grant OF
$4,000 voted the Company by the Legisa-
ture. Mr.. Hopkins refused to do anything
without the opinion of the Attorney General,
and refused also to ask for the opinion OF the
Attorney General. AS that officer OF course
does not give opinions to claimants against
the State the double refusal threatened to
create embarrassment; but somebody" Mr.
Baker is not sure whether it was the
Controller or one of his companions
suggested tclegraphing for Thaddeus e..
Davis to come on from Buffalo aud
fix things. The Controller sent the
telcgIam-and all this time Attorney General
Pratt was Just up stairs. Well, Davis came I;
the Controller wrote a letter to the Attorney
General, asking his opinion; Davis took the
letter and followed Gen. Pratt home to SYRIA
cuse; favorable opinion was Immediately in
dorscd upon it; Mr.. Baker met Davis Ill the
Controllers office, got his money and paid
81 900 for the service right there at MIR.
Hopkns's desk, and Mr.. Hopkins was appealed
to by both parties to say what the charge
ought to he.
Comment upon these two disgraccful affairs
is entirely supcruous but We may remark
that Mr.. Hopkins, Mr.. Thayer, and Mr.. Pratt
are all connected with the Canal Board

deals with the conduct of high officer of
State in whose fidelity the people have fully
trusted. There have been rumors for some
time of improper transactions at the Controllers
office in connection with the award to the
Baxter Steam Canal Boat Company, but the
high reputation of Mr. Hopkins has hitherto
forbidden us to give them serious consdera-
ton. The notifying disclosures now made,
however, cannot be overlooked. The Legisla-
ture awarded $50, 900 to William Baxter for
his adaptation of steam to canal transportation,
but by an oversight the sum was not included

cordingy refused to pay the money until he
had obtained the opinion of the Attor
ney-Gencral on the case, but when
he was urged to got the opinion he only prom
ised and procrastinated. AT last it was sug-
gested to Mr.. Van Dyck, the assignee of Bax-
ter, that by paying $1,000 to Thaddeus c.
Davis he could secure what was wanted The
bargain was made. Davis Immediately OBJ
tanned from the Controller letter to the At
torney General, and took it to him at Syracuse.
The Attorney General Immediately answered,
approving the claim. But during the two or
three days which the correspondence consumed,
the Baxter Company, being in sore pecuniary
straits, had been obliged to sell their claim
at discount of ten per cent to "a

pailfui on q whceibauOw, the action WAS -
deliberate that il seemed az if timed TO slow
music. One spectator described it as like the
swing Of two-minute pendulum. AT frequent
intervals there would be complete stoppdge;
half dozen or more of the "labOrers" would
Sumter off together to the water pail; every
time a train passed the whole gang ceased
their exrrtions and TUNED TO look at it; and
at noon and at o'clock they quilted
their work with punctuaIity that
was often even ahead OF time.
sight that would have been ludicrous
if it we're not so sad, was the operation OF
pumping water where 1t had settled in
gully. I he pump needed long, fast stroke;
with the lazy movements of the men not one
stroke in half a dozen caught the water or
lifted 1t to the spout.
This was not an exceptional case. just such
vork-if il can be 80 called-nay be seen
daily in new street and uptown boulevards.
IT is the cOnsummate flower OF azness. Clti-
zens who have watched it yea by year say
that il now SURPRISES everything they have seen

do not at once acqurc-of dawdling. Perhaps
il has reached its limit of development; indeed
any more ridiculous pretcnse OF labor IL
scarcely conceivable. Gen. Porter, testiiying
on the subject, seems to regard this as an
inevitable result where day labor is emplosed.
It's advantage il that better wodi is ultimately
done than under the contract system, the
materials used being always more carefully
selected But it may he doubted whether the
gain thus secured cOmpensates for the evident
extravaganza of the present system lie sug-
gests that the smaller and less important
works be done by contract; but he sees no
help in the matter as to the greater ones. The
day-labor system serves political purposes more
readily than the contract plan; the laborers
have votes there are scores of men employed
in overseeing their work, or pretending to, IN
keeping records, and the like. Henc" the labor
of our city has become part of the political
machine. II is by no means certain that
smashing the machine would mend matters.
1t is. however, only too evident that things
are not in way to better themselves. There
is no prospect of improvement under the day
labor system. There is just a bare possibility
that honest work might sometimes be got by
contract. choice of evils is the best that
our municipal institutions offer.

THE CITY'S L4BORERS.

The testimony brought before the Committee
of the Senate that is investigating our munich
pal affairs, serves rather to verify facts well
known to our citizens than to disclose novel
ties. That the work performed by the laborers
employed on city improvements is slow, lazy
and expensive, has become an everyday Oh
servatiOn of our taxpayers The contrast was
very strikingly shown between such performance
and genuine work, when the labor on the Fourth
Avenue improvement was going on smutane-
ously with that of laying street pipes in the
vicinity. The men at work for the railroad
kept steadily at their labor. The pick and
shovel were handled with n will. The excava-
ton deepened and heightened, the stone and
brick for the tunnel were laid. in all the day
light hours, without cessation. The finished
work actually seemed to grow before the eyes
of the spectator. But where the city's labor
ers were, close by, there was a scene of "a
totally different character. 1t looked more like
the show of labor that is sometimes performed
on the stage, OF like grown-up children play
ing at work. In lifting their shovcls,

cover it. in swinging the pick, in trundling .
