EXPERIMENTING WITH FINANCIAL AZ
rATRQ

EXPERIMENTING WITH FINANCIAL AZ
FAIRS.
The worst species of imitation known is
that of paying with irredeemable paper
for services rendered, generally in excess
of any anticipated revenue, and then
waiting months, and sometimes years,
for chance to get rid of the same in
payment of taxes. This is system Of
burning both ends of the candle. 1t was
practiced for many years by the Police
Board, and though paper of this charac-
ter was issued representing millions Of
dollars, the men who received it sacri-
feed it at rates varying from twenty to
sixty per cent, while the city was COM
PEELED to receive it at par in collection
of future taxes and licenses. Thus the
improvidence of one year ate up
the substance of the next and it was
found that nothing but radical return to
a money basis would prevent irretrieva-
BILE disaster. General Zachary Taylor's
recipe for hard times was conveyed in an
epigram: "Sell more and buy less" This
axiom applied to our municipal affairs
would mean: "Provide for more receipts
than expenses; collect the money first,
and pay it out afterward." This is the
only correct idea of administering public
business, though it has taken our legis-
lators, State and municipal long time to
become educated up to that basis.
And now comes some wise young
stateman with proposition to receive
school certificates for the municipal
school tax. Such proposition has been
made in all seriousness in the General
Assembly, and is being considered in
committee. Probably it was suggested in
q spirit Of friendliness for the holders of
this class of paper, and possibly some of |
the questionable acts of members of the
City Council may be cited as precedent;
yet it comes in such questionable shape,
is fraught with such promise of future
svil, that everyone interested in the |
prompt payment of the teachers and in
he prompt collection of the taxes to
meet such payment, should try to pre-
vent its becoming law.

A FAIR OFFER.

We learn that An offer has been made
by authority to the Democrats of the
House that if they will pass one bill re-
ducing the emoluments of Democratic
officials, and another in which both po-
Itical parties are scaled, the Senate will
Immediately take up both bills and con-
cur in them. If there is any sincerity in
Democracy let them accept this offer. 1t
may lead to further good measures. If it
is supposed, however. that the Senate is
going to pass all the House bills cutting
down Repu blican patronage, and trust to
the honesty Of the Democracy to carry
the war of reform into their own camp, it
is grave mistake. The Republicans are
not quite prepared to give themselves
away in such fashion.

Republican Well, I suppose we shall
reduce the expenses Of assessing and COL
lecting taxes, the fees of the criminal and
civil sheriffs clerks of courts, the salaries
of Administrators, and go in for general
system of economy all along the line.
Old Democrat-Oh, that isn't the sort
of reform we need at all.
Republican-What do you want, then
Old Democrat-Why, the abolition of
the Returning Board, an amendment to
the election law and the repeal Of the con-
stabulary act.
Republican-Oh, yes, see You want
US all to step out so you can step in. Is
that it?

thompson utteTeQ acOu0Cer-prOclamatlO
in outlawry against Major General Butler,
then commanding the Division of the
Gulf The Times applies contemptuous
epithets to the organ. Having been sat-
irically denounced as a disciple of Dan
Rice in the show bill business, it gropes
about for some missive epithet equally
pungent. Finding nothing on earth, air
or the waters under the earth expressive
of the professional qualities of the organ,
it ransacks the ante-diluvian and anteozoic
periods and calls the organ ''Whang-
doodle. This is supposed to imply that
the organ belonged to the fossils of the
secondary strata, and is sort Of Saurian,
or reptile created to pursue its prey in
darkness and to move altogether in mud.
This last epithet, unless explained, will
eAectually bar any manner of amnesty to
the contumacious cub organ, except on
condition of an entire change in the show
bill programme and an entire new troupe
Of political acrobats.
We fear, however, the organ departs
from Its high moral ground of reforming
Improper influences" and substitutes
another issue. It requires the crooked
dailies to unite in demanding the repeal
of the Returning Board, or in impeaching
every Republican official out of Office.
Our anxiety now is, to know whether the
crooked dailies will accept these easy
terms, and, by their compromise" pre-
serve the right to employ improper in
huepces." This we shall soon know.
