Republican swindiing in Florida.

trate the manner in which the carpet-bag
Republicans comply with the mandates OF
sourts The Supreme Court required the
Returning Board to recanvass the votes
east ut the November election precisely rs
they appeared on the face of the papers.
Knowing that to do this would give
majority TO the TILDEN electors. the two
Republicans on the Board refused at first
TO obey the Court, Then Attorney Genera
COOKE, the Democratic member, sald he
should respect the order OF the Court, ana

This brought the other two members 20
terms: but they did the work in style
that maintained their previously we'll
earned character for duplicity and cheat
ing. A strict compliance with the man.
date of the Court would give the TILDEN
electors a majority Of %. Therefore, and
in order to evade result so fatal to the
conspiracy for counting in HAYES, they
Threw out the vote of Clay county, aud
ranvassed the fraudulent return from Ba-
ker county, and in this way gave the
HAYES electors majority OF 2O6. Against
this jugglery COOKE filed q protest. and
the Court is to consider this new entangle-
ment.

A committee of workmeu asked the
Board of Apportionmcnt on Wednesday
to set some of the unemployed laborers Of
the city to work on needed improvements.
They also suggested plan for employing
ten thousand more workmen without i'm
medatelv adding to the burdens of the
taxpayers. They would have the cost of
the improvements met by savings else
where and by long bonds drawing n low
rate Of interest. Thus, they argue. the main
burden would fall on the taxpayer in the
future, when the enhanced rl.uc Of his
property would enable him 10 stand ii.
This plan will OF course awaken opposi-
ton; but when the committee protest
against city departments which contain
"more generals than privatcs,' they have
the whole public, except In, generals. with
them. The trouble with us in New York
is that we economic on the privates. but
keep the generals going just the same at
large salaries.
The government of this city has got to
I've very expensive business, independ-
emily of public improvements. To 1900
officials OF one sort and another we pay
ten millions annually, aud yet we huve
badly paved streets and unfinished public
buildings, aud must leave uninterrupted
works of public necessity which would
give employment to the workmen who SO
sadly need II. What we ought to do IL TO
have fewer generals, and then we might
set more privates to work.

Now that the Republican managers find
it necessary to give the Returning Board
OF Louisiana a character. they have all AT

There is some opposition to the project
for putting up among the efii sies OF the Revolu
tionary patriots In Independence Hail. Phiadel-
ptii, the bust Of THOMAS PAINE, often regarded
as the foremost literary champion Of the Amcri-
can Revolution. Some Of the religious papers
take ground against It. for the reason that PAISE
was not Christian; but the New York Ojscrrsr
Pfesbyterianl opposes It because PAISE was ut
