ward the sea. Refugees arrive perfectly
destitute, having generally lost half Of

out any mean of transport, aud without
homes to go to. Englishmen cannot

The coming Mardi.Gras, only Eve
weeks of, is looked forward to with un-
usual interest by oil classes, and espe
cially by business men, who expect to see
a brisk trade for a few days about that
time. We are glad to see that every
facility will be afforded visitors to make
their stay pleasant and satisfactory all
around. 1t seems likely that all the
packet lines and railroads bringing PEG.
pie to the city will make the half.fare
tickets good for ten days, which will en-.
able visitors to remain over q week to
shop and see their friends. This will
bring more people here and make their
visit more enjoyable. The city council
has under consideration a petition of
much importance, from Mr.. David p.
MADDEN and others, asking permission
to erect q stand as usual on Main street
IN front Of Court Square. Without such
a stand the appropriate ceremonies
could not we'll be conducted or witnessed.
1t is one of the indispensable accessories
Of the occasion, which must be provided
by private enterprise or BY the society
which contributes SO lavishly to the
pleasure and the success Of the occasion.
Without these private organizations we
would have no Mardi-Grass celebration.
Public ledger. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1865-1893, 1878-02-01

The proposition to limit the charges for
seats on this stand to twenty-five cents,
while we'll intended, may not have the
desired effect. for it may defeat the erec-
ton of a stand or cause a very cheap
and shaky and dangerous affair to be put
up by irresponsible parties. The cost of
putting up a suitable stand aud other
expenses connected with it will not be
less than twelve hundred dollars. and il
the weather should be bad it is quite
likely that it would fail to pay at twenty
five cents a seat. The restriction pro.
posed, we fear, will work badly. We
would ask the Common council to consid.
er the subject 10 a broad, public-spirited
sense. and make the terms, like every.
thing else we do in connection with
Mardi- Grss, as liberal as possible.

q o%oMMFSDABLE spirit OF retsenchment
and reform has manifested itself IN toe
general council already, and we hope il
will continue to take a more substantial
shape than mere empty resolutions
When the necessities Of the times are
taken into consideration aud the hard
ships Of taxpayers and the weight Of
debt hanging over the people, it must ap.
pear to be a false policy to pay any set
Of public servants more for their services
than they would be worth in a private
capacity. Horace Greeley used to say
that the way to resume was to resume,
and it may, with equal force be said, that
the way to retreneh, is to retrench; bul
this cannot be done so long as the little
places abort the City Hall are baited
with salaries twice as large as competenI
men would AJAX for a similar amount O
work elsewhere.

NORFOLK, Va, January 3l.-At half.
past six o'clock this evening the steamer
Metropolis, from Philadelphia for Para,

three miles south Of the lighthouse, dur.
ing the prevalence Of a furious southeast

the roaring Of the surf the orders Of the
officers could not be heard. About fifty
OF the passengers and crew we're washed
ashore. About two hundred are believed
to be lost. From some OF the sailors, who
arrived at o Of the signal stations, it
appears that the vessel had encountered
heavy gales from the southeast for the
last twenty.four hours, and when she
struck she was heading about south south.

surf, which made q complete break over

.The Public Burdens Bill"

This is the name given to Mr.. Fish's sub
stitute for the New York Salary bill. 1t is
o specious but Objectionable measure
specious because it promises reduction Of
city taxes; Questionable because, while in
creasing the power Of the Board of Appor-
tionment, it does not secure any real relief
to our over-burdened citizens
Whatever may have been the motives Of
those who got up the meeting last evening
there is great force in the arguments urged
against this bill. 1t is possible 30 to amend
it as to make it useful, but it should not be-
come q law in its present shape. No de-
ceits must be practised on the community
respecting reduction of taxes. We are
confident that without any juggle at all the
expenses of the city can be reduced to the
full extent Of the two millions promised in
the bill; but it must be an actual reduction
of the money raised for city purposes, and
not O mere reduction of the aggregate
amount OF the tax levy. If the State tax
should be less in 1879 than it is in 1878 it
would be mere juggle and q delusion to
represent that rs proof of economy in the
municipal administration. An alienation
Of the State burden is o welcome thing in
itself, but since we are not indebted for it
to any action of the local authorities it is
not just that they should masquerade in
stolen honors. What we want and have
right to insist on is q two million reduction
in the actual yearly expenses of the NUM-
cipal government Furthermore, no Jug
Cling tricks must be played upon US in
relation to the interest on the city
debt. If the annual interest were
apparently reduced by some adroit
application or misapplication Of the sinking
fund the taxes might be lightened without
the practice Of any real economy. 1t is in
dispensable that there be large diminu-
ton in the cost Of the city government.
This ia possible because the scale Of ex-
ponses which had some excuse during the
reign Of imitation has become intolerable
now that tho prices of labor and materials
and the value Of property have been brought
down to the specie level. Necessary inn
provements must not be neglected in order
TO keep up salaries, but the pay of officers and
the cost Of public works must BIO reduced in
tho same ratio. The pending bill should
not pass unless so amended as to secure the
reduction Of two millions in our actual
local expenses and to make an equitable
part of the reduction fall on salaries. All
tho officers in all the departments should be
made to submit to proportional reduction
of their compensation, and this must not
be trusted to the mere discretion of the
Board Of Apportionment.
