The above is the most impudent

Free Schools on every corner.
Low Taxes! Look at Tennessee
today; Taxes so high people can
hardly stand them now-and un

voter will consider the Democrats
proposition awhile first.

AS u RefOrmer.

We hear a great deal said ~
the friends Of Mr.. Tilden about his
work as a relormer since he S
been Governor Of New Yor>
From the large amount of blow
ing done about this matter since
Tilden's nomination, one would
think that he had succeeded in
crushing out all fraud and pecula-
ton in New York City and State,
and they were now perfect models
Of honesty and purity in official
circles and that all rasoals had
been arrested and properly pun
iahed. Now let us see just what
Mr., Tilden has done in the way of
reform during the two years that
he has been Governor. Here are
the figures from the records:
Number Of sultsbrought o
Number brought to trial
Number Of convictions obtained
Number Of suits dismissed by court
NuInber OF suits now pendirg
Amount OF money recovered None.
EApBn5eH OF commission ana COunSCl 10 assist
Attorney General, about 100000
Payment Of two certificates stopped by
commission $4,000
Number of existing fraudulent con-
tracts stopped None
Thus under Mr.. Tilden's great
reform administration, the State
Of New York has paid 100000 to
stop the payment Of two fraudu-
lent certificates amounting to
$1,000, and to secure just one con
viction Of fraud In other words,
his work Of reform for two years
has left the State $4,000 out Of
pocket AT this rate how long
will it take this model reformer
to break up the fraudulent rings
known to everybody to exist in
New York City and State And
if he were President how long
would it take him to smash the
whisky and other corrupt rings
that arc always seeking to prey
on the national government A
model reformer truly is Mr.. sam

San Francisco. April l4.-The ac-
counts of Steinberger's troubles in
Samoa are very conflicting. Private
letters and statements Of passengers
by the Ada May are to the effect that
the people and Legislature, after Stein
berger's arrest, deposed King Baur-
shed, took him to neighl,oring is
land and demanded Steinbt' gers re-
lease. This was refused and the
Berraconta brought the King back
but the people decline to acknOwl-
edge him. An earnest desire IL re-
ported on the part of the people for
the arrival Of the TuscarOra and the
release of the Premier. 1t is stated
that the English residents d sire the
annexation. OF Samoa to the British
Colonies, which will be accnmplished
If the United State, doesn't interfere;
that Foster, the American Consul,
backs them Up against his own coun-
trymen and that the whole trouble
arises from the interference of Stein
berger with their designs; that the
natives have great faith in the Amer
leans and desire their protection.

Pages Townsite Bill.
The House yesterday passed Rep
resentative Pages bill limiting TO
2560 acres the area that shall be en-:
tered in any one instance for town
site. unless the excess claimed IL &C
tually settled upon. inhabited and
used for business and municipal pur-
poses. The bill also throws open to
homestead and presumption settle
ment all lands heretofore entered
under the town site law. which do
not come within the above provis-
ion regarding entries IN excess of $500
acres. Itappears from the statement
presented by Representative Crounse,
who reported the bill from the COM
mittee, that the existing law has been
greatly abused in Utah, where num-
ber of insignificant places have been
Incorporated AZ cities and obtained
title to tracts of Government land
comprising from l6 To 40 square miles,
each az "town sites" Twelve of
these villages have entered town
sites of 16 or l8 square miles esch,
and of them have thus acquired
title to tracts nf 80 or 40 square miies
each. FROM this statement Crounse
made it evident that legislation Is
needed TO cut down these needllessly
and mischievously large city limits
and to restrict those which may be
create hereafter, and to confirm the
titles to those lands which may have
been settled upon under the the pre-
ernption and homestead laws. where
such settlement does not interfere
with any municipal neeti. This Is The
object of the bill.

munity's reputation that you will stand
firm against this contemplated
outrage. Neither those who
have devised IL nor those who
wish to carry 1t into effect. can face the
fire of controversy IL only you will re-
main steadfast The simple, unvarDished
fact. Is that these gentlemen have en-
tered into a contract with the city and,
not finding II quite MS profitable as they
had expected, they are now endeavor
ing to have il reconstructed so that
they may make what strikes them as
proper and sufficient. A more out
rageous proposition ] have never heard
of. These persons not only demand u
modification Of their contract, they ac-
tually have the effrontery to specify the
particular changes which will be most
convenient and profitable to themselves.
In commercial circles, such proceedings
as these would condemn their authors,
but since it is the peoples money at
stake and the city's honor and repute in
volved, these contractors may grab the
one and disregard the other without re-
buke from the peoples representatives,
aud without opposition from the peo-
pies sol disdnt defenders in the press
A more dsgraceful and humiliating
spectacle l have never witnessed, and
what aggravates and embitters it Is the
fact that among so many papers, all Of
which know better, and comprehend
full well the nature of their infidelity,
there is only one to raise q voice of
manly protest against this conspicuous
outrage. The people have grown very
poor in friends. and their interests
fallen into sad neglect, when the city's
most valuable and important franchise
can be hawked about, the toy Of hucli-
s .ers and the prey of speculation.

We print this evening a very strong
snd exhaustive communication in oppo-
sition TO the proposition of Messrs.
cllermsn & Co., lessees Of the city
Wharves, to the City Council for impor-
tnnt notifications Of their contract OF
lease. The fact that 1t is generally be-
kcved, rs our correspondent states. that
Messrs. Ellerman Il 90. are themselves
the holders Of very large proportion
sf the wharf bonds, will render the
views Of the bondholders, to be ex-
pressed at the meeting called by the
Mayor for the 10th inst, Of very little
weight with the city authorities, unless
n shall be clearly and positively es-
sablishcd that the lessecs are not
the 4 bondholders, and that the
Mayor will not be consulting with
Messrs. Ellerman & Co for the relief or
Aonetit of Messrs Ellerman & Go.
The B'dtet,n Sunday morning showed
how the city in uine years lost over ST.
so0,o In the management of the
wharyes This fact has no relevancy TO
the pending question. It is to be pre-
surnet that the lessees were we'll ac-
ausinted with the deficit OF the revenues
cf the wharves during the nine years
referred 70. at the time they entered
into their present contract, and
hat they based their calcula-
tons upon that Knowledge. And il
does not appear that they made any
grossly Inaccurate calculation since
their proposals for relief includes one
Tor an extension OF their lease for two
years
We have no desire TO do the les
secs any injustice; but it is the duty of
the city authorities to protect the public
interests In this matter To the fullest ex-
