Cleaning by Halves.

Considering the rarity with which certain
streets are cleaned there is no excuse for the
work not being thoroughly done when it is
attempted at ALL Yet a resident Of Eleventh
avenue complains that although the side OPP
posite to his own is sometimes swept
the other has not been cleaned since
May. Like all other street accumula-
tions, the contents Of this avenue are
unwholesome at best, and fearfully
offensive and dangerous while in their
present venerable condition. The house
holder does business, pays taxes and thus
contributes to the fund which is supposed
to be expended for his protection, but-per-
haps because the carriages Of rich men are
not numerous upon this avenue--the little
cleaning that is attempted leaves half the
work undone. Such neglect of duty would
cost the responsible party his position if he
were anywhere except in New York; but a
work that is carried on only with view to
Appearances, as that OF street cleaning is,
will demoralize even an efficient man in a
short time, and there is no higher official
who will sea that the negligent are pun

A Peculiar Distinctiou.

have peculiar idea of the nature of dis
ease-breeding filth. Though they some
times condescend to remove solid gar
bage, the liquid accumulations are al
lowed to remain, although they gen.
crate IN immense amount of malaria
and fix it in the surrounding soil. In Or
chard street, opposite No. 175, there is q
pool of stagnant green water, which gives of
emanations poisonous enough to make the
population of the whole neighborhood On
easy prey to any epidemic. slight appli-
cation of Croton water, few shovel
fuls of dirt, or few cents worth
Of. disinfectants, would remedy the
evil at once. is this and the hundreds
OF similar places to remain and grow worse,
merely because some officers and foremen
are too lazy or stupid to attempt anything
that cannot be done with shovel and cart ?
Brains and ingenuity are not scarce
among any other class of men, and there is
no excuse for the retaining in the costly
cleaning service set OF fellows so brutishly
ignorant of the object OF the work they pre-
tend to do.

The Secretary demolishes Senator Thur
mans arguments in favor of abolishing the

greenbacks. In the first place, there is no
constitutional authority to issue legal
tender notes in time Of peace In the
next place, Congress pledged the faith OF
the government not to issue an amount ex-
ceeding four hundred million dollars In
the third place, the government has prom
ised to redeem the greenbacks, and would
forfeit the promise by doubling the amount

Fundins tho city Debt.

Taxpayers will rejoice to learn that the
Commis issioners of the Sinking Fund have
at last taken some action upon the enact
ment allowing the funding OF the city debt
IN consolidated stock at u low rate of inter-
est Nearly eight millions of bonds, at six
and seven per cent, and coming due before
the end OF this year, are to be taken up with
the proceeds of an equal quantity which
will pny but five per cent. These are to be
redeemable at the city's option after twenty
years and cannot run over fifty years.
Should this stock remain on the market for
tho extreme time indicated the mere saving
upon the interest, with interest upon the
saving, will more than cover the principal.
1t is believed that the placing of this stock
will be an easy matter. There is no reason
why this city should paya higher rate of
interest than the general government, for
its affairs are in the main as we'll admins
tered as those which are cared for in WASH
ington, and upon most OF the property
within its borders the taxes can easily be
collected. 1t is to be hoped. therefore. that
