TILDEEs "REFORM"G-THEORY vsPRAC
TICE

The letter of the Reform % candidate is
remarkable for its great length, glittering
generalItes and glaring falsehoods. He
piles up his SO called facts and words with
an utter disregard of truth, the object ap-
parently not so much to make a reliable
document as to overwhelm with platitudes
and numbers Considering the time occu-
pied in compiling it from press editorials it
is not what the public haG a right to ex-
pect. Its facts are unreliable and its de-
ductions illogical Quantity and not quail
itY is what he aims at, and to form huge
pile he makes use of any kind of material,
no matter whether sound or rotten. Un-
fortunately for himself he happens to secure
more of the latter than of the former lum-
Der for his structure, which he hopes will
contOund if not convince the dear people.
He forgets that the unsound timbers will
not bear the pressure Of truth, and that the
whole eGifice IS doomed to crumble to ruins
around him. Like Samson of old. he will
be crushed by the pillar he capsizes.
He says that 'the present depression in
call the business and industries of the peo
"ple, which is depriving labor of its en-
"ployment and carrying want into so
"many homes, has its principal cause in
"excessive governmental consumption IN
{" der the illusions of specious prosperity
"engendered by the false policy of the
Government A waste of capital has
"been going on ever since the peace of
"18G5, which could only end in universal
"disaster. The federal taxes for the last
"eleven years reach the gigantic sum of
"S4, 800, 100000. and local taxation has
famounted to two thirds as much more"
The statistics show that the Federal taxes
for the last eleven years, from 1865 to 1875,
both inclusive, amount to $3,s4O, 4S9, ,2Sa,

THE Paving Commission object to being
compelled to finish the Avenue pavement
by December 1. Having rejected all stone
pavements, which are the only kind that
can be successfully put down IN cold
weather, it would seem that they contem-
plate carrying the enterprise over to be
completed next summer. We hope not,
and we trust that the Senate will refuse to
so amend the bill as to permit it. We pro-
test against having the present pavement
removed and the great thoroughfare of the
Capital rendered impossible all next win
ter. There is no necessity for this course.
As we have already stated, men and ma
terial are both cheap and plenty. With
proper display Of energy on the part of the
commission the preparations can be made
at once, and when these are completed the
roadway can be laid just as well in thirty
days as in six months. II Gems. Wright
and Gilmore were ordered to construct
such a work in war time for the transpor-
tation Of supplies, they would guarantee
to have it completed 10 less time. Let US
have no nursing of jobs, and no loosely
drawn contracts, resulting in claims for
damages in this business, but let US have a
clean, square. finished and perfect pave
ment selected, and then have it laid down
with promptness under the eye Of the com
mission. This, we are confident, can only
be done by the commissioners themselves
without the intervention of contractors
The Latter may agree to do it more cheaply
and with greater dispatch than the COM
missioners, but such an agreement involves
great risk of an imperfect work or failure
of the contractors. Both of these risks
must be avoided. The appropriation is
ample for the cost of perfect work. The
commissioners cannot afford to risk their
professional regulations for the benefit of
any patentee or contractor. We, in COM
mon with many other taxpayers, believe
that the laboring classes of the city and the
property holders on the Avenue will alike
be benefited more largely by an avoidance
of the contract system. And we insist that
the commissioners owe it to these interests
in common with their own professional
safety to be guided by these suggestions.

WHEN a man studies hard for two
months to see what he will utter to stand
the test of time he ought to be made to
stick to his own words, and to swallow and
digest them. Tilden, il, his letter of ac-
ceptance, borrowing Governor Hayes
anti-second- term intuitions, and endeavoring
to enlarge on them as he does on the Gov
ernor's civil service opinions, says, in so
many words, 'that no reform of the civil
service in this country will be complete
I" and permanent until its chief magistrate
is constitutionally disqualified for re-elec-
"tion." We have heard of men being
constitutionally opposed to things, to hav-
ing a constitutional prejudice against
things, but Tilden doesn't make that pre-
tension. He says he can't be trusted; that
law must be made to restrain him; that
he must be 'fconstitutioRally disqualified
