Balance against the State. -. $3.50, JOB
This amount, however, did not include
the interest on the canal debt, the cost of
collections and the difference between the
miscellaneous receipts and expenditures
Including these the loss to the State dur
ing the fiscal year of 1875, was 81 .4l2,4
One of the favorite DEVICES for fraud on
the canals was that of building vertical
wall where slope wall only was required.
the first kind being much more expensive
The investigations Of the Canal Commits
sion showed that in six years the State
had been robbed in this way of 81, 300, 900.
The Commission, beside disclosing all the
rottenness of existing canal management,
and destroying it, proved improper pay
ments to the amount of $39S.s75. They
showed that the amount expended on new
work on the canals in the six years which
their investigation covered was $S,444,-
Ss4 of which good share was undoubted-
y fraudulent. They detected, exposed
and drove from his office the Republican
Auditor of the Canal Department, who
had been carrying on brokerage business
in the obligations he was required by law
to audit, and was shaving them to the
amount of hundreds of thousands of dol
lars, Now all this is changed. The
canals of New York are managed, under
Gov. Tilden's administration, with the
same strict business economy and honesty
as if they were private enterprise in pri-
vate hands. Gov. Tilden's motto has al
ways been that the government existed for
the people not the people for the govern
ment.

IN IMPROVING METH

Gov. Tiden builds up after tearing
down. After Kidding the City of New
York of the Tweed Ring, he saw the ne
cessity Of erecting every possible barrier
to the formation Of Rings 10 future, both
in that and other cities He therefore
addresses message to the Legislature in
1875, calling their attention 70 the crush
ing burden Of municipal debts, the need
of restricting municipal expenditures and
lightning the load of local taxation, and
the necessity Of providing some uniform
and economical system Of government for
cities of the State. This message showed
the aggregate debt of the twenty-four
cities of State to be $l75,0O0,0O0; the ag
| gregate OF the city taxation, $50 600, 000;th
aggregate county and state taxation, $l3'
000,O the aggregate of taxation, $780,
900, 900. The Legislature authorized Gov.
Tilden to appoint commission, which he
composed of many of the ablest lawyers
and most distinguished specialists in the
State, without regard to party. This com
mission has now been at work for more
than year in preparing a general char
ter for all cities in the State, which is ex-
pectel to put an end to many of the worst
abuses now existing in municip al govern
; ments.
Gov. Tilden's exposure Of the Canal
Ring blasted all the projects of the Ring
aud put an end to the wasteful expendi
ture ofthe peoples money. But not con
tent with this Gov. Tilden, during the
Winter of 1876, urged upon the Legisla

when Mr.. Tilden retires from the Gov

he has done much to repair the rayage

Almost a Highland Fling.

Our jolly friend B. SAYS he
learned the other day for the first
time how to dance the horn(et)
pipe. He was sluggishIy fooling
around his premises, sat down in
the orchard to rest and allowed
two horne is to crawl up his pants
leg. He at first thought a gentle
bug had made the mistake and
clapped his hand on the little in
truder to stop his further march.
The result was disastrous. There
were two OF them, and they at
once set up o buzz that answered
we'll for the music, while he opened
the ball by springing to his feet
and cutting many pigeon-wings
around in tIle orchard. The little
musicians kept climbing, and be-
coming more and more excited at
the rapid and unexpected manner
in which they were now being
whirled about in this unexpected
prison without the slightest shad-
ow Of escape. He canght at first
ore Of them, then at tho other, nm
til they had pretty well trayersed
the interior of his pantnloons. and
he was nearly exhausted, when he
suddenly bit upon the plan Of Dir
vesting himself Of the great barrier
10 their immediate escape. Like
lightning the linen flew, az also
did his busy little tutors, They
left him perfect wreck. He says
he felt pretty badly "chaw'd," for
he found that they could bite as
we'll with theig back teeth as with
their front ones. But little rain
was required to give him a second
growth, and for two days he -four
ished like a green bay. He now
claims to be the champion dancer
Of the neighborhood. Kemper
