ObIiteratins the Political
Color Line.

The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
that the strong democratic State OF Mary
land and the equally strong republican
State of Iowa should both be engaged
at the same time in removing disabili-
ties from the colored race, The Iowa
House last week passed, with but four
dissenting votes, a constitutional amend
ment that had previously gone through
the Senate, and will how be submitted
to the people, striking out the word
"white" where it occurs as qualifica-
ton for .oflice. and making the colored
man for the first time eligible to a seat
in the Legislature. Considering the
intense republicanism OF Iowa it is a
little remarkable that after insisting sc
long upon colored men having their
"rights" in Southern States, and being
elected TO Southern Legislatures and te
never before given them permission tt
enter the sacred precincts Of their owl
legislative halls. A committee of til,
Maryland democratic Legislai ure was a
the same time with that OF Iowa con
sidering the subject of further exten
sion of the rights of the colored pespl,
of the State, and decided to accomplish
the same result more simply and cheap
ly than through constitutional amend
J ment by the Legislature passing specific
4 bills making the change sure through
. the statute laws.

The New Navy Bill.

The bill reported by Mr.. Clymer, from
the Committee on Appropriations for the
naval service of the next fiscal year con-
tains some new features which are de-
olded Improvements. Properly enforced,
they will operate us check upon the
diversion of money from one bureau to
another, and also upon the corrupt prac-
tices which disgraced the administration
OF that department under Secor Robeson.
Hitherto the practice has been to lump
the whole pay of the navy in a round
sum, as follows, for the present year, by
way of illustration:
"For pay of commissioned and warrant
officers at sea, on shore, on special ser.
vice, and of these on the retired list and
unemployed, and for the actual expenses
of officers travelling under orders, and
for pay of the petty officers ,seamen, ,ordi-
nary Seamen, landSmen, and boys, in
cludlng men of the engineers force, and
Tor the coast survey service, seven thou
sand live hundred men. six million six
hundred thousand dollars"
Without searching inquiry at the de-
partment, or waiting for the annual ac-
counts, no ons can tell how this large
sum has been distributed among the
different grades for which it was appro.
priated. The form W 5 invented in the
days of extravaganza and plunder to keen
the taxpayers ignorant, SO that there
should be no vexatious inquiries. Now
Mr. Clymer's bill classifes the paw
among the active list, the retired list and
the petty officers, seamen and the like
with the exact amount under each head
and the specific number of every graz,
Of officers to be paid. For example, tn,
active list is enumerated from the Admi
raj down to the ensign, with the numbe
of each rank and the amount required t.
pay them, as "nine Rear Admirals, fift
thousand dollars" and SO on to the en-
of the list. This active roll sums up S3
69S,750. The retired list aggregates S645
400, and the pay for petty officers, sea
men, landsmen, boys, and the lik
amounts to $2,400,OOO. In all S6,744, ,15C
or S144, 100 mors than the running veal
not including the deficiencies aread

Il CITY ITEM OF S1O.O00.

A bill is pending in the Legislature to au-
thorize the city of St. Paul to issue $4,000
of bonds to improve the roads leading into
the city. We have not had time to examine
the details of the bill, but these are times of
great depression, and business men, laboring
men of all classes, have all they can carry to
get along. The taxes press with unusual
burden on every one, and we think it bad
policy to increase the debt of the city. It is
bad policy to run into debt at all, especially
in these times unless in case of absolute ne
nessity. This is a general objection. AS to
the bill under consideration, it would be
more satisfactory if it had been framed with
more details. It should specify what roads
are to be improved where leading from, and
how much to be expended on each. It oc-
ours to us, now, that several thousand dollars
have been expended on the roads in Dakota
county. Are these roads to come in for
share? 1t is bad enough to have to go in
debt $4,000; it will be worse to have
squabble over the money. 1t is more than
likely that people will be able to get to the
city Tor year or two longer, and if these
roads are in Ramsey county, it is the bust
ness OF the country to improve them and not
the city,
Daily globe. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1878-1884, 1878-02-05

We do not suppose the retrenchment COM
mittee of the Chamber of Commerce con-
slider their work infallible. They have made
some good suggestions and probably some
mistakes. While they have been cutting
down in various quarters one instance will
suffice to show that all has not been
done. The cost of civil engineering for
the city is enormous. In the first place, the
city engineer is to receive $4,000, and have he's
three assistants, two of them at 81 200, and
one at 81, 600. Each engineer has two as
sistants, and we don't know but the assistant
assistants are supplied with bottle-holders
also. It seems in any event that the num-
Der employed can be reduced without dam
aging the service.
