that oil able-bodied men who apply for

PEELED to break stone for repairing and
macadanizing the roads. This is tolerably
steady work, especially when men are placed
over the gangs who will see that they do not
shirk the labor. We have no idea that much
stone will be broken, however, for as soon
as the rascally tramp and chronic pauper
find themselves. obliged to work for the
relief they receive they will desert Jamaica
for less unreasonable localities. where vice
il fed and lodged in idleness.
The example set by the Jamaica authori.
ties might very well be followed in New
York. There is no good reason whatever
why the paupers who are charge on the
public here should not be set to work on
road repairing and cleaning. At present wa
pay out an enormous amount of money for
street cleaning and get nothing or very
little for it. The streets have never been so
shamefully neglected and SO dangerously
filthy as under the present worthless Street
Cleaning Bureau The whole business,
despite its costliness, is scandalously mis-.
managed. On Nassau and other crowded
downtown streets at eleven o'clock in the
morning barrels of ashes and dirt line the
sidewalks. This nuisance arises from the
blundering incapacity OF the bureau, which
is not even competent to arrange for the
removal Of tho dirt and garbage except at
the most inconvenient hours of the day. II
a portion OF the paupers should be turned
out at night under proper supervision and
made to clean the streets, and another por.
ton should be set to work in the stables, al
the dumps, or driving the carts, we should
either save most of the money now squan-
dered on the worthless payrolls OF the
Street Cleaning Bureau or should soon re.
lieve the city from the cost OF supporting an
army of ablc-bodied vagabonds who pursue
the easy calling of tramp or pauper as
steady profession. a.N

Partisanship I'm m PAM.

II would have been well for Mr.. Purroy if
his connection with the city government
had ceased when he took the manly course
OF Withdrawing from the recent political
canvass after his indiscreet conduct in the
Nyack Senatorial Convention. He would
not then have still further injured his pub
lie record by the sorry exhibition made by
him in the Board of Aldermen yesterday.
The denomination of Colonel Henry G.
Stebbins for Park Commissioner, which was
made to the Board by Mayor Ely some
days ago, was rs creditable to the Mayor rs
it was satisfactory to the people Colonel
Stebbins by experience, culture, capacity
and integrity is well qualified for the po-
sition he has so long held. But Mr.. Pur-
roy insisted yesterday that because he is not
a aTammany democrat he should be rejected,
and the Tammany Aldermen, agreeing with
their President, refused to confirm the NOM
ination. Mr.. Purroy has no thought or
care for the public interests or the good
management of the Park Department.. He
wants Tammany democrat to hold the po-
sition now filled by Colonel Stebbins, and
he denounces the Mayor for studying the
interests Of the city in preference to the in
terests of Tammany Hall.
Mr. Purroy furthermore thought proper
to charge Mr.. Stebbins with the response
bility Of the reduction of the wages of city
laborers little over two years ago-an act
for which, whether wise or unwise. Tam
many city administration WIS alone answer
able, and announced his intention Of intro
ducing resolution at the next meeting of
the Board of Aldermen asking that the half
million dollars to be spsaats next year in
street repairs be paid to laboreers instead Of
to contractors. Mr.. Purroy Of course knows
that laborers do the work and get the money
whether it is done under contract or by the
CITY, In the former case the honest laborer
finds employment. In the, latter case the
political loafer who hangs about the corner
groceries in idleness and only takes upon
himself the character Of laborer when
money is to be got out of the city treasury,
on the strength Of an Aldefman's recon-
mendation, obtains the work to which the
honest laborer is Justly entitled.

The country will commend and the navy
will thank the House for its prompt passage
of the Deficiency bill yesterday without
opening the hoodgates of debate and making
it the pretext for an unseemly political
wranglc. Whether the late Secretary of the
Navy was or was not guilty of violation of
the law in using the naval pay fund for
other purposes than that for which it was
intended was not, strictly speaking, before
the House, but with the latitude allowed to
or taken by gentlemen in Washington it
could easily have been brought into the dis
cusson and thereby delayed indefinitely
the passage oil the bill. The result, Of
course, would havo been to compel the
officers to wait still longer for the money
they have earned, with the additional wrong
OF losing portion Of it in interest which
they arc now compelled to pay. In passing
the bill so promptly tho House has acted
fairly by the navy and deprived itself of no

The only other feature of interest in tho

which Mr.. Chittcnden and Mr.. Monroe
spoke in opposition to the bill. The SEN

speech of Mr. Chaffee on the Pacific rail-
roads and their branches. Mr.. Hamlin re-

Heavy Cost or REFORM.

The bottom seems to have fallen out Of
the Aldermanic investigation of Mr.. Tweed,
now that the election, for which it appears
to have been specially designed, is over.
On Monday there was meeting of the COM
mittee, and the master thief of the period
was present, "chatting pleasantly with
those around him" with as much sangfroid
as If he were an honest man, entitled to the
respect of the community, instead of self
confessed felon, whose proper place is o
Sing Sing cell. There was no examination
of Tweed or of anybody else, but singular
episode filed up the committees brief ses-
sion. Mr.. Taintor, one of the late Comp
by him to ferret out the Ring transac-
tions, was called to the witness stand and
shown schedule by which he is credited
with having received the large amount of
ninety-one thousand dollars for his services.
Mr.. Taintor refused to say whether the
amounts we're correct unth he had been
allowed time to ''prepare himself" which,
he stated, would take "a few weeks" In
answer to questions the witness an
nounced that he had other charges
against the city for work on the
Connolly, Walsh, Tucker and Conan cases,
so that the full cost Of his services is not
yet fully known. Ho alleged in general
terms that his ''expenses" had been heavy
and his actual rccompcnse not more than
ton or eleven thousand dollars year. It
seems extraordinary that the Finance De-
partment which, under Mr.. Green, con-
sumcd in salaries some two hundred thou
sand dollars year, should have found it
necessary to employ in addition u special
agent at snch an extiavagant cost.
The most singular part of the affair, how
ever, is that according to Mr.. Taintor's
statement before the committee he is in pos
session of warrants and vouchers belonging
to the city, which were placed in his Gus
tody by the Finance Department for the
purpose OF tabulation, and he regards these
as his personal property ito quite an ex-
tont." What ground Mr.. Taintor can have
for so absurd claim, after he has been ex-
travagantly paid for services OF which the
people know little or nothing, we are at q
loss to perceive. But certainly Mr. Kelly
should demand and take possession of NIL
city papers IN Mr.. Taintor's hands and
should take care that his services in the fu-
ture, if required at all, are more moderately
recompcnscd.

The EXPERIENCE of the American mnsons
who went to England has been anything but
plcasant either to themselves or to the contrac-
tor who employed them. They had scarcely
arrived in the British metropolis when the
larger number Of them joined the English strik
crs. Those who have gone to work are dssatis-
fed with everything and everybody, wages,
clothing and board. Not the least of their com
plants is that they have no gas in their rooms
and are compelled to sleep on springless beds.
