ECONOMY IN THE COUNTY GOVERNMENT.
The relative merits Of a Republican and q
Democratic Administration in local affairs
are brought into strong contrast by the
financial reports Of the County Board since
1878. The Board had,a Democratic majority
from 1919 to 1877, inclusive. The Republicans
gained control in 1871, and now all the fifteen
members are Republicans. Admitting that
the tax-levy has been up to the constitutional
limit, and that the refunding Of the debt atan
unprecedentedly,1ow rate Of interest was
due partly to the abundance Of money, there
are other items in the accounts which afford a
fair and exact basis of comparison. The ex-
penses Of the charitable institutions Of the
county are items Of this kind. The tables
already printed i'll TIE TRIBUNE showed
that the expenses Of THE Insane Asylum and
Poor-House and the County Agents office
steadily increased under Democratic rule,
and have as steadily diminished since the Re
publicans obtained control Of the Board.
The figures are as follows:

| rule. The restriction Of outdoor relief lndi
Gates not so much falling off in the applica
tions as a wise discrimination in passing OF
them. It has been the practice of the presen
County Agent to stop supplies largely in tht
summer months; and visitors are held tt
a:rnuch strlcter account than formerl,
in recommending persons for relief More
over, an army Of bogus paupers, owing thei1
place on the country rolls to the persona
favor or interest of Democratic Commission
ers, have been turned adrift. One of the first
acts Of the Republican majority was the
adoption of rule prohibiting the distribu.
tton Of reltef-tiokets by members Of the
Board; and to this salutary provision more
than to any other single cause was due the
remarkable fall-off from S231, ,75O In the last
Democratic year to SB,735 in the first Re
publican year. =,
Republican economy has become a COM
mon thing In the Northern cities and States.
Voters and taxpayers, without regard
to party, are in the habit Of taking it
for granted that a Republican Administra-
tion will disburse the public moneys wisely
and honestly. and Democratic majority
spend it layishly and corruptIy. The reason
for this feeling is not far to seek. It is due
to the fact that Republican local Boards
to a great extent represent the tax
payers, and the orderly, well-behayed, self
supporting elements Of the community; and
Democratic Boards the pauperized, tax
eating, and criminal classes. Not that a fast
and loose line can be drawn between the two
parties, and one be pronounced wholly
vicious while the other is declared to be
wholly vfrtuous. But the great preponder-
ance Of taxpayers is in the Republican party,
as the majority Of the other classes alluded
to is in the Democratic party.
An illustration Of the fact is found in the
nominations for County Commissioners lately
made by the Democratic Convention. The sem
ior morning Democratic organ is compelled
to admit that those nominations are Of "very
uneven merit" They are. in truth, almost
without exception, nominations unfit to be
made. Not more than one out Of the five
men nominated would be put by any Demo
cratic businessman Of this city in position
of trust or responsibility; yet they are
adjudged by a Democratic Convention
worthy to administer the affairs Of a
county Of 6Uo,0oo inhabitants, and to as
sist in the handling OF millions Of the public
money. They belong, In short, to- the class
Of political hangers-on who make it their
business to spend the money which other
persons contribute to the Public Treasury.
Voters who are at the same time taxpayers
will find it to their interest this year to as
sist as far as they can in defeating the elec-
ton of these men. If thew should obtain adj
mission to the County Board, their int1u-
ence and votes would be on the wrong side;
and they might in two years more, if rein
forced by men of the same stripe, restore the
old order of things.

could make that would not be preferable to the best
that could possibly be supported by the Solid south
and Tammany Hall.

The approach of the season when Wash

'planked shad' reminds the correspond
of the ST. Louis Globe Democrat of the fol-
lowing story about Daniel Webster:
"Webster was an artist in this line and
prided himself greatly upon his gifts. His
only rival was an aged slave, a character
on the river, called Sam. There were
those who declared that Sam was the only
one who knew how to cook planked shad.
and others protested that the great states
man was supreme. On sunny spring days.
when parties Of gentlemen went down the
river to watch the fish nailed to their
boards, sizzling and browning before the
blaze of an outdoor fire, 1t was arranged
to have trial for championship between
old Sam and Mr.. Webster Each contest
ant was well backed, and the lights of
those early political days were all there.
First Sam split the Shad, seasoned them
as he knew would most nearly suit Mr..
WebSter's taste, and laid them before the
orator done to turn. 'Really, Sam, this
is the best planked shad have ever eaten,
quoth Daniel; and applause rang from
Sans adhearents. Next Webster laid
aside his toga and lowered around the fire.
klif, and salt box in hand, watching the
shad that he had prepared in the way he
knew would best suit Sans taste. Sam
ate three mouthfclS rapturously, and ex-
claimed, Fore God, Mr.. Webster, neber
hab tasted plankcd shad before! Webster
yielded gracefully the palm to Sam, out
done by him in compliments as well as
cooking"
