THE TEMpTATIoNS or BOOKKEEPING.

We have all read, and been touched by. the
story of DOorkeeper Polk. as extracted from
various sOurces-witnesses swift and slow,
willing and unwilling-by a truth-cOmpelling
though tender hearted committee of investi-
CATION. We know that when the intelligence
first reached him in FAR away Tennessee of a
Democratic majority in Congress, he curled one
hand round his listening car, and waving
the other backward as one who Gays " Hush +"
to the past and all behind him, leaned East
ward to catch the first note of his country's
call. And we know with what alacrity he re-
sponded when he heard at last that call, and
discovered it to be for DoOrkeeper. So
soon as he learned what was the, country's
actual crying need, he nerved himself to the
task, and with undaunted courage offered himself
to meet the emergency. Turning to that noble
army of Tennesseeans that had already sus-
pended every other business pursuit, and aban-
doned every other occupation, in order to be
ready to enter the public service at the call of
the Governmental the same spirit of self
sacrifice which animated the late Governor
Dorr, of Rhode Island, when he offered, being
a little lame, to lead the retreat-he said, and
not without visible emotion: "Tbis is o

affected in any way by action or debate at
Washington, we do not see why Congress
need devote to ii any more OF its valuable
time. -
These arc criticisms which will naturally
suggest themselves to all who read Mr. Howe's
speech. As for his brief remarks upon
Civil Service reform,-the vast promises
of the present Administration and the
meagre performance, the eccentric rules
and the still more eccentric exceptlohs'
the windy, shifty, uncertain and Dune-
ling management of appointments without
merit and removals without cause-"e
presume there are few genuine reformers'
aiming at q practical improvement OF the
public service, rather than the composition OF
Dapers for the Social Science Association, who
will not substantially agree with him in their
secret hearts. They will dispute some OF his
positions, but they will acknowledge that Id
the main he is not far from right Ana In
connection Will this subject, the Senator
draws q portrait of Secretary Schurz, which
will attract attention.
But the true significance of this speech is not
in what it saws so much as in the fact that 1t
is spoken at ALL Mr.. Hayes has been only q
year in Office, and be has made no great change
of policy, nor formally broken with his
party; yet here we have an able and
distinguished Republican leader attacking
him on the floor of the Senate with
a vehemence almost unparalleled in the
domestic dissenslons of politics, and the attack
makes no scandal, and hardly causes surprise.
The surprise will come If Mr.. Hayes find an
equally vigorous Republican defender. Mr..
Howe unfortunately says aloud only what
many of his associates are saying in private.
We see nothing to be gained by such speeches.
We are not sure that we understand what MIR.
Howe hopes to gain. But his invective VIII
command attention as a phenomenon OF troubled
times, portent of storm.

TIE STEWART HOTEL FOR WOMEN.

The curious public has now official information
concerning tho costly edice erected by the late Mr..
Alexander +. Stewart for the accommodation of
women. II is announced as n house for those who
support themselves by their daily labor. Those
who live permanently in the house must be
engaged in daily work or employment" and appar-
emily they must be engaged in it outside tho house
at eas. no sewing machines nor any working APP
paratus will be allowed in the rooms" The employ
ment, however must be tolerably remunerative, as
the price for 81 board and lodging" has been fixed
at So per week, at 81 for those occupying alone
single room. OF course. the average working-wOman
in New-York, in the best Of times, earns
annually not much moro than this, If so much.
II is evident, therefore, that the Women's Hotel Is
too expensive place for many thousands. we may
say the majority of workng-womcn in the city. Its
comforts are for women who earn ut least 800 or
$3.50 annually. We are not finding any fault with
the arrangement, but it is well to have it dis
tinctly understood. 1t supplies want. but by no
means all wants, of women engaged in daily work
or employment" 1t is for the very best class of
such-for those, in fact, who would not have expo
rienced much difficulty in procuring pleasant quar-
tiers elsewhere at like price. The public has had
no reason for expecting anything different from
this but In the absence of deiuite knowledge, some
thing different has been expected.
The bylaws of the Women's Hotel are numerous
and particular though not much moro so than those
which the traveller usually finds posted upon the
door Of his hotel bed-chamber The severity which
excludes "dogs cats. birds or pet animals is re-
Taxed in favor Of flowers for which relief much
thanks. A rather stringent -Iule permits the
manager at any time, with or without
cause,n to order boarder to leave the house,

Acknowledgement SchOonmaker has expressed
the opinion, in response to request by the
legislature, that the Board of Estimate and
Apportionment of this city has no power to
levy and collect taxes, and no other legisla-
tive powers. The AttOrney-GeneraPs commit
nication is very emphatic in this view. This
is most important decision, and puts q
great opportunity into the hands of the Legls-
lature for the real Improvement OF the con-
dition of this city. The right of the Board to
levy taxes is now likely to be disputed in the
courts, and decision by the Court of APP
meals. unfolding the Attorney Generals view,
would apparently vitiate the entire Tax Levy.
The Legislature chm prevent much confusion
bv providing the city with government bear
ing some decent resemblance to those which
prevail among free peOples-giving the power
of lowing taxes to some body responsible
70 the electors, and large enough to
allow the popular will to make itself
felt. The Board of Estimate and Apportion-
ment was Tweed's device, and has survived
Tweed too long. 1t is close corporation OF
four officials, elected for long terms, and is
not legislative, either in the method of its
compOsition or the manner OF its workings.
AS our politics are conducted, one man levies
the taxes for this great city, and the other
three members of the Board, who are
usually his political creatures, do not
say him nay. This is a system utterly
repugnant to all the principles of popular
government and it is time we had better.
It is useless, probably, to ask the Legislature
to give us a Board of Finance; but We have
q right now to demand something in place of
the Board of Estimate and ApportiOnment

An extraordinary display of the possibilities. OF
March weather took place on Sunday. Up to noon
there had been some light rain, with wind from
tho west, ending in q shower. The thermometer
was then at 500. Shortly afterward rapid fall OF
temperature began; freezing-point was passed at
shutdown; by midnight the record was 2l0. Mean
Willie snow had fallen and the wind had risen; ad-
wee on these points having been sent out from the
Signal Station in this city shortly before noon. 1t
was noticed about a. IN. on Sunday that the moon
assumed deep coppery hue. The barometric record
of that day. at and shortly after noon was lower than
has been noticed for many months, and was posi-
bly the lowest in two or three years. People VIII
call il the equinoctial storm.

The Hon. A. w. Cutler. of New-Jersey is con-
sumed with zeal for the dissemination OF Agricui-
tural truth and yet he only asks Congress to print
800 900 copies of the report Of the Great Nationai
Husbandman. With such penurious supply IL Is
evident that large numbers OF our fellow
citizens will be unable to secure copy OF TINS
soul-stirring document, and the children IN
several large families will often be FOUND
CRYING for the Same book. Mr.. Cutters
bill certainly lacks the spacious proportions winch

porter of tho Agricultural Bureau Not long ago ne
desired that General Le Due should no longer be fet
tered with the formality of giving bonds, which was
a neatly-ftting supplement to the proposal OF the
Committee on Appropriations, that the money 1or
this Bureau should be voted in lump, WITHOUT
any limitations specifications as to how OF where
it should be expended Mr.. Cutters committee Is
now considering bill to initiate the Commissioner
into Cabinet officer of the regulation pattern put
this would only tend to cripple the actiVit.es
of that bounding official 1t has been the
habit of Congress to throw some restraints
and safeguards about appropriations for the various
departments and tits probablethat General Lie Due
"a a full-blown Constitutional Adviser, would re-
ceive some specific directions to the methods ana

loose upon the agriculture of our native land
with all the money he asks for, unrestraned
by bond or specification, and with full power to
wreak vengeance on any subordinate who enter

Congress is bent on making such startling nnova-
ton upon the old and tried system of Administra-
ton. General Le Duo is an excellent man TO
inaugurste the new method. We can think OF no
official who would be likely to spread himself with
more tropical luxurance.

The Senate has confirmed the nomination OF
William G.. Choate for Judge BlatchfOrd's
seat. The opposition which was predicted has
evidently been Intellectual in view Of the
nominees unmistakable fitness for the place,
and we now have the pleasure of saluting
Judge Choate.
The friendly spirit in which the Car has
liberated Osman Pasha and sent him back
with General Ignatieff TO COnstantinople, can
not fail to have favorable effect on the
Sultan, who has received the defender of
Plevna with open arms. BY polite acts of
this kind, Russia will strengthen her influence
at Stamboul, and establish, perhaps, the
Ottoman alliance, which she is supposed to
desire.
DR.. Hayes has moved in the right direction
In demanding an investigation of the insane
asylums. He has not done so in spirit of
hostility 10 those institutions, but the public
will be glad to see fair inquiry into their
actual condition. The incarceration In one OF
the asylums for seven years of woman. re-
Gently adiudged sane, and released, makes it
as much for their good as for that OF the
public, that all suspicion which may surround
them should be set at rest.
A destructive fire is reported at Philadel-
phia. Taking the average frequency of great
fires in the United States, it might be
plausibly guessed that the time for the par
tial destruction of one of our cities would
not be far distant. as several years have
elapsed since such an occurrence. Our
insurance companies are as whole
in poor condition to meet heavy losses. If
they escape now with moderate sacrifice Of
assets. the Philadelphia fire may serve them
