year before the newly slected council

II there we're no other, this would be

need in the first place for change in
the fiscal year and loading the city
with some S6S.Oo0 extra debt to bs
paid of in four years, but now that the
change has been effected, the city
councilmsn, Mayor and other necessary
city officers should bs elected and take
their seats somewhere near the COM

suggest that the City Council take
action upon the proposition Of Mr.
Rodney at the next meeting OF the
City Council, and if favorable that the
Legislative Committee see that the
change is made before the l. 'gisiature

What the people of the country want
the President to do with respect to the
federal offices in New York, is not to pun
ish Mr.. Conklings friends or to reward
them; but to put into each office, without
regard to his friendship or hatreds, the
man who is most capable of conducting
the business of the office with efficiency
and honesty. The offices do not exist
for the benefit of one faction OF another,
and any use of them for factious purpos-
es is an outrage upon the people. If
Judge Robertson shall employ the New
York Custom House as a machine for
striking at Conkling, he will deserve no
greater favor than Conkling has received.
The Nation wants to have that Custom
House and every other custom house tax
ell clear out or politics, and President
Garfield will bitterly disappoint his best
friends and seriously injure the Republi-
can party if he does not compel such a
reform.
