The Ctty's Interest Neglected.

For many years the interests of the
city has been overlooked and neglected
TO accommodate and give work to street
contractors.
A great many streets have been paved
at great cost to the city, and the money
due from property holders neglected to
he collected. When the present City
Auditor went into office there was ESQ, 900
on the Auditors books, all of which
onght to have been collected and paid
teward extinguishing the city's floating
cr bonded debt, and to this extent tho
city saved from borrowing money. The
late Auditor was entirely too neglectful
of his duty, and the Council for years
under the Republican management has
suffered their accounts for paving to lay
uncollected. Now innumerable law.
suits will be the result; and we are told
that many of the claims will be resisted
some because the limitation act will ap-
ply, and others because they were not
immediately assessed up on the Wners
of the property in accordance with law.
There is scarcely doubt but that the
late Auditor failed to understand fully
and attend diligently to the duties Of
his office. No honest man will refuse to
pay an honest debt because of the limi.
tatlon act. But there are men who have
no regard for the public interests, and
would as readily withhold from the city
an Indebtedness of this kind as eat their
breakfast.
We have no doubt that many streets
have been paved without the ez.
pressed wish of the owners of the pro
perty interested, in order to use up sane
and stone and keep partizans Employed
and furnish money to political fayorites
If the city We're to make it a point t.
collect the money for paving and curb
ing as soon as it is done, parties woulc
he more careful about signing petition
to Council for it. As the case stands i
is the sworn duty of the City Auditor t.
make an effort to collect the RESPECTIVE
amounts due.

TNe Democratic National Com
reufiOu,

Is proceeding harmoniously with the
great work it has undertaken, and so
far its action gives token of success. Its
great business is to commence the work of
Reform and Retrenchment. To-day, we
believe it will furnish an acceptable
leader to carry forward this indispensa-
ble work. That he will be elected to the
Presidency we have no doubt. The peo-
pies minds are fixed on having Reform
and cheaper government and they will
not stop until they have proved to the
Washington thieves that they are their
masters and that they do not mean to be
longer taxed as beasts of burden, in Or
der that political frauds may squnder
large salaries on SNOWY equipages and
fast horses; and their time at fashicna-
bic watering places, instead of devoting
it to the interest of the nation. As
things have been conducted during the
past eight years it has taken Two men to
do the labor of one while they received
the pay of four, and in addition stole
frequently enough to compensate worthy
men who would have been glad to per-
form the duties in proper manner.

TIE DANGER OF THE DEAD
LOCK


Ia discussing the dead lco': between
the Senate and the House upon the Ap-
preparation bills, the attitude OF each
party is continually misstated. The
Democratic majority in the House Of
fers to the Administration what it con.
siders an abundant allowance OF mo-
ney to carry on the Government. The
Republican majority in the Senate,
speaking for the Administration de-
clares that it must have more, OF that
1t will refuse to accept any at all, and
break down the business of govern
ment. 1t is as if husband should say
to his wife at the beginning of the
year that he could not afford more than
$4,000 for household expenses as
times were getting hard and the ex i.
travagance of his establishment was
rapidly driving him to ruin; and as if
she should reply that she couldn't and
wouldn't consent to run house on
S2O,00 year; that she had been ac.
customed to spend double that amount.
that nothing less than the old allow
ance would keep things in the style in
which she was determined to have
them, and that if he offered such a mis-.
cradle sum she would fling it in his
face, sell the furniture and break mr.
housekeeping. 1t is plain that our ma
tional housekeeping has been wastefuI
and extravagaut, and that we cannot
keep up the old style without danger
OF bankruptcy, and in this emergency
the Republicans refuse to make ever
the experiment of retrenchment.
