The country has prospered nightly In spite Vi

been so adjusted that they are felt very much

ELOQUENT RIG URES.

THE TRIBUNE Published on Saturday last,
several days IN advance of all its contem-
p.rarles, a complete county table of the vote
cast for Cleveland aud Folger at the recent
election we follow this to-day with the first
complete county table which has been pub
lIshed of the votes given at that election for
Governor, ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, Chi # Judge,
and Congressnan- Large. These additional
figures are scarcely less interesting than those
given ia the former table. They are al official
except for New-YOrk and Kings counties,
where the official canvass is not likely to be
completed till early in December. Estimates,
which will not vary much from the Official liz
ures arc given for both counties on all candl-
dates save the Prohibition and Greenback. On
neither of these have any returns been re-
ceiyed from New-York County. In Kings
County nothing has been published concerning
the Greenback vote, but the Prohibition vote
is placed at 1900. This brings the total in
the state up to &c, 1913, and NewYork County
NAV carry it 5000 higher. Ia 1881 the Green
back vote in both counties was only l,4OO,
and as the total ia the State Is smaller this year
than it was last being only 9,OS4 now, against
lG,O18 them it is safe to estimate the joint total
in New York and Kings this year at not more
than thousand.
4 The Republican candidate receiving the
lowest number of votes is Plat Carpenter, as
WIS to have heen expected. His total is
337.967. Judge Folger stands next with
341,5I4, or only 1917 more than Carpenter.
Next comes the amusing candidate for Con-
gressman- at Large, who is beaten by 1l2, III
majority but runs ahead of Folger -, 226
\ ,.,1.g 10,
nothetic than the fate of Judge FOger as illus
trated by these figures. Within two years his
connection with the machine 80 damaged him
in the estimation of his party that he not only
lost over 22l 900 votes, but he had great diff
entity in keeping ahead Of Patt Carpenter, and
he was beaten by Howard Carroll nearly
10000 votes. In the presence OF q calamity
like this comment would be both unllnd and
superiluous. The Republican receiving the
highest vote was Judge Andrews, whose total
for Chief Judge is 406,253. This Is "a, 707
greater than FOlger's, and 90, 1872 smaller than
the Democratic vote for Judge Ruger, which is
47G0i5. The highest majority attained by
any candidate is that of Hill for Lieutenant
Governor, who has IL total vote of 53I, 16,
only about LOO less than Cleveland's total
and majority over Carpenter of l96,S79.
Cleveland's plurality is 1884, Judge
Ruger's total is the smallest on the Democratic
side lie is 59.9l1 votes behind Cleveland.
Socum polled nearly 27,000 votes more than
Ruger, and ran 33.0l5 behind Cleveland.
The vote on Chief Judge, AS we remarked i'll
n former article, ia likely to furnish the most
accurate estimate OF the strength OF the two
u eat parties in the election. Judge Andrews. rs
we. have seen. ran nearly SO, 900 ahead OF Fogcr.

LIQUOR AND TOBACCO TAXES.

The argument for the repeal of taxes on
whskey, beer and tobacco will be pressed at the
coming session with zeal The earnes tness
and ability with which Mr.. Kelley, the chairman
of the Committee on Ways and Means, and Mr..
Randall, the leader of the Democrats in the
House, have advocated this course are already
known. 1t may be well, therefore. before the
air gets dan kened with the sOphistlies of eager
disputants, to take a calm survey of the rea-
sons offered for and against the repeal.
These taxes differ from nearly all others, in
that they do not increase the necessary cost OF
living or of production. 1t is true that some
distilled liquors are used in the arts, but the
quantity is utterly Insignificant in comparison
with the quantity used as a beverage, and in
significant also in comparison with the whole
cost of the products in which spirits are used
as "a material. Mr.. Kelley. in one of his least
worthy moods, did indeed claim in one speech
that the sick and the dying pay this tax" but
it would make Mr.. Kelley laugh at himself if
he should undertake soberly to compute the
proportion of distilled spirits actually used in
medicinal preparations or in all forms of manu-
facture. The tax thus indirectly paid is insig-
niicant. Practically the whole of the tax on
sp tits, beer and tobacco is paid by persons
who voluntarily use those articles Inasmuch
al q large proportion of the laboring people do
not, and manage to do as good work and to enjoy
them selves quite as well as those who do. the
tax may with truth be said to be voluntarily paid
and 10 have no necessary effect upon the cost Of
production in this country.
The argument that largo expenditure may
be saved, and vast army of employees may be
discharged, if these taxes ale repealed, shrinks
a little when examined in the light of facts.
The number of persons on the rolls OF the Gov
eminent as officials and employees is said to be
about 1O4 900, but of all these only 1000 are
Oh the rolls OF the Internal Revenue Service.
The discharge of one Official in twenty five
would net DC "a very great Improvement. Nor
does the expense of collecting the internal rev.
enus exceed about 100000. about one-six-

Comparing these results with the actual fig
ures we see that Cleveland's vote of 1886 is
71,709 larger than the prOportionate Dem
ocratic vote, while Andrewss vote of 406,743
is 6S, 582 smaller than the prOportonate Re-
publican vote. This substantially confirms
the estimate of 60, 900 Republican votes for
Cleveland, for the prospect of success pre-
vented so many Democrats from staying at
home as usual during an of year, and many of
the missing Republicans voted the Prohibition
ticket.

Mr.. MacLean's scheme for park service re-
form has been carried into practical operation.
At the meeting OF the Board yesterday 1t was
reported that the entire force of gardeners had
been subjected to careful and fair examination
and each man had been graded In accordance
with his asceItained ability. Some were pro-
NOTED. others degraded to a lower rank, and a
few dropped altogether. There can he no
question that this plan will increase the efii-
cheney of the park service in many ways, and
notably by encouraging subordlnates to pre-
Dare themselves for possible advancement
in rank and pay. Mr.. Lane, however, found
nothing in his system of political ethics to JUS
tify the innova tiOn and be objected To the re-
port. Mr.. Lanes views III regard to the dis
tribution of patronage are not unique. They
prevail in most departments OF the city govern
ment The idea that public servant should
have any special fitness for the particular du-
ties he is to perform has no place Ill this system
Mr. Lanes plan has the merit OF MATHEMATICAL
simrlicit The total number of employees III
the parks is divided by f0ur-the number oil
Commissioners-an the quotent represents
the number which each Commissioner is to APP
point and consider as "hs men," How the
CitV's work is performed is a trfling matter, but
IL is important that one man out of every four
in the park service should be the personal and
political property of a particular Commissioner.
These impartial examinations introduce an
unknown quantity into the arithmetic of pat
ronage to disturb Mr. Lane and his calcula-

A good example is contagious. A telegram
from Montreal brings the interesting an
nouncement that Canada Is likely to say ditto
to New-York by freeing her more important
canals. With free canals in this great State
and free canals over the border, it cannot be
long in the nature of things before the new
policy will prevail all over the country. Those
who made the long fight for the policy in our
Legislature and at the ballot-box perhaps
builded broader than they knew.

His death, although expected, produced a pro-
found sensation, not only throughout the city
but throughout the country. He was recog-
nized rs the last of the famous old regime of
nnblic men who moulded the parties and the
nolcies of the great era which lies just behind
us, and yesterday there was general turning
aside to do honor to his memory and to recall
the many eventful political struggles, all OF
which he saw and large part of which he
was. 1t will he seen by reference to our local
columns that the funeral is to take place FRI
day, and that the remains are to be taken to
Albany for burial. In the beautiful rural
cemetery just outside the city in which his re-
markable career was largely achieved he will
sleep his last sleep.

quite as impressive a curiosity as Niagara or

suggestions which he has been making of late

will Ne a general disposition to afford him time
