The wages Of city laborers will he raised above The
market rate again. Of this there to be no
reasonable doubt. 1t will bo done solely because the
reduction was used to defeat the parry in power mt
the last election, and its leaders have no
greater fondness for beating their brains out
against stone walls than have most other leaders Of
parties in power. 1t is easy enough 10 show that
Mr. John Kelly, after he had discovered how lttle
taxpayers helped him and how much the laborers
were hurting him, tried to disayow the busi-
ncsslike action of the city administration
on this subject But the fact remains that has party
was defeated in consequence Of i, aud that while
teIe is no reason 10 suppose that if it had been sue

rated and the whole city had approved,

which neither his nor any other admin
istration could Withstand. Tho taxpayers dldu'
mean IT, but what they actually sand 10y their vote
was that the men who had reduced the wages o. city
Iaborers TO the market standard must take bac.
seats They need not DO surprised to find those gen
temcn preferrng to raise wages again, rather than
to step back.

AN EXAMPLE TO BE FOLLOWED.


We are glad to know that there is one
steamship agent in this city who declines to
be bled by the men who batten on illegal
exactions imposed upon our merchant marine.
He snaps his fingers at quarantine charges,
ignores Port Wardens, and ypursues the even
tenor of his way unmolested. Every just and
legal charge he pays with, alacrity, but he
declines to, be bled to the extent Of nickel
for any illegal or unjust purpose. sa
It is refreshing to know that there is one
such agent in the community, and the wonder
is that other agents do not follow his lauda bic
example. The legal charges are high enough
in all conscience, but to be made to pay the
exhorbitant demands of the incum bents Of
the myriad, Of Offices manufactured by the
Legislature, to make easy berths for political
friends, Is simply ruination. The gentleman
referred to informed us that if he had paid all
the enormous and illegal bills that had been
presented to him his line would long since
have been discontinued and himself reduced
to poverty.
This condition of affairs is simply shameful,
and is q reproach upon the city and State,
and while We can hardly hope that it will do
much good, we call the attention of the
to the matter.

THE NUISANCE OF QUARANTINE.

induces New Orleans to puta bride upon her
commerce and drive annually from her peo-
pie millions of dollars How the people Of
other cities, the communities who reap the
benefit of our quarantine, must laugh until
they grow purple in the face and stitchy in
the sides whenever they think of the stupid
ity, the inconceivable -asipinity Of our rigidly

leaving all the rest open, and hugging to
our breasts the same hope in a which

at the horrible place, and, though the resident
physicians may manage to establish them
selves in comparative ease, and to ward off the
and most poisonous mosquitoes in the known
world, by the lavish use Of musquito netting,
it is simply impossible for those persons who
are detained there to exist in anything like

proper and necessary conveniences, and we
suspect that detention there in past years

--s-.-a~------ M6NIS, $780,

We desire to direct special attention to the
article in another column on the subject OF
the "City Debt" from the pen Of &. W.
Estlin, Esq. The subject is one Of profound
interest to us all, and Mr.. Estlin's views are
we'll worthy of consideration, as he has de-
voted much time and thought thereto, and
brings to its discussion q vast amount Of
business experience and rare knowledge Of
finance and its complexities. We can
scarcely hope that the very simple and prac-
ticable plan proposed by MI. Estlin will meet
with favor among our Administrators, who
seem to be more enamored Of an intricate
scheme, the workings Of which is not under
stood clearly by one person in ten. We are
fully Of the opinion that if Mr.. Estlin's plan
were given q fair chance it would do for us
all he claims, and Lift us out Of
the financial mire in which We
have been for years. and still are
foundering sinking deeper and deeper with
every struggle. The creditors Of the city are
neither blind men nor fools, and We have no
doubt would be quick to realize the situation

debt and issue therefor a new series of five per
cent thirty year bonds at the rate Of one Of the
new for two Of the old, which new bonds
should be absolutely guaranteed, interest and

the city at once to one-half or ray twelve
millions of dollars. What our correspondent
says also about assessments, his suggestions
in regard to the change of the city charter,

every man who has an interest in the city.

THE ORLEANS DRAMATIC ASSOCIA
TION.

The performance given last evening by these
amateur dramatics, at the Varieties Theater,
for the benefit of the Louisiana Relief As.
sociation, was largely attended, the receipts
at the box Office showing that half prices are
decidedly in favor these dali times. The
principal play was the " Honeymoon" one of
the old English standard comedies, which,
Notwithstanding its completely of stage-shift-
ing, remains favorite wherever art and liter
ature are appreciated.
We take unalloyed pleasure in commenting
on this performance, inasmuch as the task is
easy, for the o. d. A. seemed determined to
overcome the weakness which they recently
manifested when they played that almost i'm
practicable play Of "Home." Our embar-
rassment lies only in this. that where every
one of the amateurs Gid so we'll, we must be
at loss to discriminate. Indeed, we can
criticise the performance of the Honey
moon" by saying simply that it wa, one Of the
best efforts OF our amateur performers and
that not only was each character well under
stood, but the ensemble evidenced careful
study of situations and scenes and good re-
hearsals.
Having said this much, we are 10th to
enter into the imperfections of the perform
ance, of which, however, there were few
glaring ones. This leads us TO speak Of Miss
DiumonsAn, WuoM the Wrlt6r mas ever stu
diously avoided to flatter, especially when she
appeared decidedly de6cient-a frequent oc-
currence. Last evening Miss Blumenthal,
