New York and London,

In round numbers the population Of
London, the greatest city IN thu world, is
three times that of New York. 1t is the
seat of the court and parliament of q
mighty empire, and its pu bio works are
conducted on q magnificent scale. Yet the
total costs of the munisipal government of
London are less than those of New York,
The net annual expenses of New York
which need to be provided for through
taxs ton huctuate between $30.000000 and
$33.0O0,000. the annual balance sheet
covering over $50, 100000 for receipts and
about the same expenditures. The deb;
of the city. according TO the comptroller 9
last statement, was $l37, 43l ,419; sinking
fund $34, 906. 467. Deducting sinking
fund and adding up outstanding revenue
bonds, which are temporary loans made il
anticipation of taxes, and the net debt
will be $I22.745,127. This involves az
annual interest charge of not less thar
SIC. 100000, The public works oxpendi'
lures are about $1,000, 600. a year, and
the miscellaneous list for general pur
poses" averages about $29 .0000 900 Ii

ton, the remainder being proceeds of
licenses, markets and of the various pro-
ductive properties owned By the munici-
pality. These figures do rot paed to be
impaired together to prove bow much
more costly the inefficient municipal
machine of New York is than that of
London, In spite Of the difference in popn-
lation No better proof of the need OF
municipal reform in New York could be
adduced

The Republicans Of Philadelphia, that
stawart hotbed, are sorely alarmed a
the prospect of an overwhelming defeat in
the spring elections, The notorious cor
ruptions of the city department under Re
publican rule have become so barefaced as
to shame large number Of independent
thinking men and the prospects are ex,
cellent for Democratic victory in the
spring. The success of Pattison dem
for city controller. at the late election by
$4,000 majority, when the city gave Gar
field 10000. or difference of 81 900 votes,
shows that the people are determined to
rid themselves of Republican ring rule in
the city. This is healthy sign, and il
the Democrats are catious as they nc
doubt will be. they will certainly gain con.
troll of the city government.

The report is still going the rounds tha
Secretary Sherman accuses Garfield o
betraying him at Chicago. and that the
feeling between the president elect and
the secretary is anything bat cordial. Il
is we'll known that the Grant men detesi
Sherman. and in q recent interview ex
Senator Dorsey is said to have remarked
Il do not know anything about Garfeld's
cabinet. but do sincerely hope, the pres
ident elect will not invite Sherman to a
seat therein" This was said in q sharp
tone, and the correspondent detailing the
interview states that the sentiments of
Dorsey are those of the Grant men every
where-they detest Sherman.

Superior tc any English or American. A d.
PLOMA was awarded to this MagnesiA. by the
American Institute in 1852.
This very useful and elegant preparation is used
Aperient antic-acid in dyspepsia complaints
attended with accidity with very great benefit. II
has the advantage over common Magnesia. in being
dissolved, and therefore not being liable to accu-
mulate in the bowels. 1t is decidedly superior to
Carbonate OF Soda or Potash, on account of its ap
erient quality
This solution of Magnesia is found particularly
beneficial as pleasing sedative and aperient in al
cases OF irritation, acidity of the stomach lie
complaints. infantlle disorders, or sea sickness.
An ounce two of this solution speedily re-
moves heartburn, acrid eructations ana sournese
The Solution is of itself an aperient but its laxa
tive properties can be much augmented by taking
with it. or directly after il. little lemon juice
mixed with sugar and water, or even with cream
of tartar, IN this manner very agreeable efer-
vescent draugh can be safely taken at any time
during fever or thirst
The antisceptic Qualities of this solution. owing
to tie presence OF much earbonlc acid, have
been found very valuable in putrid and other fe-
breath, and the Magncsia cleans the teeth from
tartar.
The solution is almost invariably succeeded in
removing fits, spasms and headache TO which deli
cate persons are subject from acids and crudities
the stomach and bowels.
The attention OF the public is particularly direct
ed to the following certificates OF physicians and
other persons who have used the Magnesis:

The stalwart wing of the Repu blican

with cheerfuIness. If the president eleci
shall deal fairly by the third termers then
will Conkling and his followers do likewise

field shall ignore them. refusing 10 make
his administration the medium of advance
