The COmptroller's Staten ents of the
City Debt.

City Debt.
Mr.. William H. Morrell, O taxpayer,
writes letter, which We print elsewhere,
complaining that Comptroller Kelly neg
lects to reconcile certain discrepancies, to
the amount Of several millions of dollars,
which are apparent in the official state
ments of the city debt. The complaint in
respect to time is just one. We are conf
dent, as we said when Mr.. Morrells charges
first were preferred, that Mr.. Kelly will be
able to explain them away. But he should
not delay to do SO. Perhaps it is inconven-
lent for him to give the attention needful
for the purpose when he is busy managing
the local Tammany conventions, and per.
haps there was intention ofannoyance on Mr.
Morrell's part in putting his troublesome
questions just at the moment he did. New
ertheless, as a salaried municipal officer,
sworn TO faithful service, the obligation Of
Mr.. Kelly to the taxpayers and bondholders
is superior to any of his volunteer relations
to Tammany politics. II he will not do the
Comptroller's duties he should resign tho
Comptroller's Office. It is not reasonable to
expect him to accept Mr.. Morrells melo-
dramatic challenge to an oral debate, but it
is perfectly reasonable to ask him to explain
in writing. upon the demand of any tax.

between two sets of official figures, and tho
explanation should be prompt and clear.

There is enough room on New York island

there are lines of steam railways actually
constructed or in course of construction
which will put every part of the city in rapid
and easy communication with every other
part, thus solving the question Of passenger
transportation more completely than it is
solved in any other great city in the world
there is great and constant demand for
houses and consequently public ready to

now. Nobody will put up houses which
can be let at rates fairly within the
reach of men of moderate income. 1t is
u fine thing in an architectural sense to
have only splendid and costly houses in q
city, and people have good opinion of
city property when they assume that a city
lot is worth too much to put mean house
on it. But the construction Of splendid
houses is likely to be overdone; for splen-
did houses imply splendid rents and the
splendid rents will surely more than neu-
tralize all the good that has been done by
rapid transit, and will end one OF these

PORTION of the public of the great city,
Practically, with Mr.. Lawson on the

the wicked wit Of the Truth administers
punishment to his adversary ten times
greater than any involved in his printed

fact, Lawson is morally in the pillory on
every day the Court sits, and Labouchere
simply pelts him with gibes during all the

goes on now threatens to be interminable,
and as people are apt to get satiated with an
experience of the pillory, we may possibly
hear next of an attempt to withdraw the
complaint.

MANY is all that is necessary for
equalizng the republican and tho Tam
many strength in the city. But the deser-
tons from the Tammany vote Of last year,
instead of being less than two Thousand.
will probably exceed twenty thousand.
Calling the Tammany loss twenty thousand,
ard disregarding the anti-Tammany vote,
which is likely to be a minority, and
further supposing, against probability, that
the republican vote will not exceed that
given for Danforth last year, the result as
between the republican local ticket and the
Tammany local ticket will be as follows =
Kepublcan vote. ....................... 5l!0
Iammany vote. 4o4So
Republican plurality. neutrality-suspicious.. l1,217
But if Tammany. instead of losing one
third should lose barely one-sixth of it's last
result would still be republican local VIC
tory. After loss of one-sixth the Tammany
vote would be SO, 405, and with republican
vote as small as that of last year the result
on the local tickets would be as fellows:-
republican vote ........................ 5l,.V2
Tanmany vote. o0.4o5
Republican plurality. ...................... 1897
But full republican vote, such as may
be expected in the city this year, is nearer
sixty thousand than fifty thousand. 1t is
impossible to doubt that sufficient num-
Der of Tammany men will desert to give
the city to the republicans this year. But
if it were possible to entertain doubts on
this point it is quite certain that enough
anti-Tammany democrats would vote with
the republicans to insure the defeat of Mr..
Kelly's local ticket and punish him Tor his
mutiny against the party.

the situation. Tammany did its utmost
last year and polled 60, 4S5 votes. The re-
publicans did less than their utmost and
polled 81, 702 votes. We say less than their
utmost, because in 1876 the vote in the city

last year. II the republicans should

OPENING OF CLEARWATER. The work "f
removing the rocks from the channel at
Reuben's rapids on the Clearwater is pro-
crossing more satisfactorily than seemed
reasonable to expect. We learn from K. M.
Tabor, a u s. engineer who came to in
vestigate the work on the part of the govern
ment that the rock in the channel at the above
named rapids, which was the worst obstruc-
ton on the river, is now removed, leaving
a straight open passage in width OF about
70 feet. Formerly steamboat had to pass
through narrow, crooked channel, and
with great difficulty. The removing Of the
obstruction has enlarged the width of the
passage about 20 feet. Mr.. Tabor is conf
dent that another appropriation the amount
of the one just expended would be suffi
cient to complete the necessary opening Of
the river for steamboat navigation, except
at low water time. The main object of this
present work on the part of the government
| is to make the river navigable for the bust
ness of rafting principally. The contracts
| for like work on the Snake river were takel
at sl3 per yard, while this under Captain
Smith was let at $3S per yard, completing
of course, greater amount of work on tn
