will be very much in the minority.
AS to the other new officials, Mr.. Stark enters
upon his duties as Dock Commissioner with the
confidence and esteem Of the mercantile and
shipping classes and the community at large.
1t may be regretted that the Mayor did not
name for Tax Commissioner citizen whose
claims to the place are less exclusively political
than those of Mr.. Feitner. But in Messrs.
Asten and Donnelly the Tax Board will have a
safe and substantial working majority.
The general feeling produced by these APP
pointments and combinations will be that OF
increased dissatisfaction that Mayor, anxious
for the welfare of his fellow citizens, should lbe
dragged down to the level iof the greedy band
of place-mongers whose power as Common
Council is the disgrace of our municipal system.
When will the voters of New-York put stop
to this abuse7 If our Aldermen really repre-
seDted the people, the future of the city would
be dark indeed. But as they only represent the
"deals and "bargalns," the packed primaries
and machine moved conventions of our local
factions there is room for hope that this evil
will not be permanent. The people can sweep
it away when they choose to exert their power.
But every election until they do sweep 1t away
ONLY serves to increase the evil.

NEWYORK As SPECTACLE.

II ia to be hoped that travellers who visit this
country will not Judge self-government by
what they may see, hear and smell i'll New York
this year. Self-gOvcrnment is ono thing /;
Democracy is another. At the South, Democ-
racy means government by the few for the sup
preston or oppression of the many. In Now
York it seems to mean government by the lew
for the plumber of the many. If New-York il
found to lack great many things that evil
lied city ought to have, and to have great
many things that civilized city ought to lack,
in common Justice the fact should be attributed
not to self-government, but to Democracy, as
illustrated by the late Legislature.
In a civilized port, for example, there are
duties ntrusted to officials like the late harbOr
masters of New-York. The performance of
those duties has been found essential to the
public welfare and prosperity, and We beg the
foreign visitor not TO suppose that New York
il 40 barbarous as to be ignorant of the fact
The people of this city, so far as they govern
themselves at all, provide for and willingly sup
port officials for the discharge of such duties
But it occasionally happens under free gov
eminent that a set of greedy and laundering
politicians who call themselves Democrats get
power to make laws. Then they usually pro-
coed to reconstruct existing systems, and to
"reform" existing laws after their own greedy
and laundering fashion, with exclusive regard
to the number Of fat places that they can make
and get for themselves, and without brains
enough to make their work a success. In the
progress of this laundering reconstruction of
things it sometimes happens that the greedy
politicians legislate people out of place, but
neglect to legislate themselves into place.
This is not evidence that the people are semi
barbarous or unfit for self government; it Is
merely an illustration of the well-knOwn fact
that persons who are Over-greedy for place
frequently prove incompetent in Office The
Democratic politicians have been clamoring
long time for a chance to reconstruct the gov
eminent of this city and State, and have been
shouting to the whole world about the great
things they would do if they had a chance.
Now that power has suddenly dropped into
their hands, 1t appears that they give us, for
one thing, city without harbor- masters.
If any clearly disposed visitor should find
this city inconveniently dirty, he ought in JUS
tice to remember that Democratic politicians
have that matter under control. If the side
walks are rendered impossible by piles Of

Figures tell no lies The tax rate imposed by
the Legislature whose adjournment last week
caused such general rejoicing is 25-1OO mills
on the dollar. The tax rate of 1882 was z
45-1OO mills What does this substantial in
crease meant 1t means simply that the Legis-
lature of 1888, in which the responsibility was
not divided, since it was Democratic in both its
branches, instead of prudenty guarding the in
terests of the taxpayers looked out only for the
Democracy. Looking out for the Democracy
meant furnishing pap in large quantities and
ignoring such homely virtues as economy and
retrenchment. The leaders and their organs
kept claiming all through TIE session that the
public expenses were being materially reduced.
But the tax rate tells the tale. 1t goes up not
to meet any unusual public necessity, hut in
order partially to appease the Democratic appe-
tite. Last year 245-100 mills, this year
8 25-1OO. What do the taxpayers thinB of
the achievements of the tax-eaters
The last Republican Legislature, that of
1881, imposed tax rate of 2li mills. This
was the lowest rate since 1856, and on the then
valuation yielded the sum of $6,032, 800 81.

Wadsworth, after stating that the tax rate for
the fiscal year would be 2ll mills, remarked
that this low rate was neither fictitious nor
forced. INT one that could be maintained even
under the new tax laws. He added that If the
Legislature would enact into statutes some of
the recommendations made by the Tax Com
mission of 1881 it would be but few years
before the entire amount necessary TOR the
proper maintenance Of the State Government
could be collected without levying any tax on
the several counties The Legislature of 1883
d ecined 10 act upon Controller Wadsworh's
most sensible suggestion. None OF the recon-
mendations of the Tax Commission were en-
acted into statutes; no well considered, earnest
effort was made to prevent the tax rate from
increasing, to say nothing about decreasing it.
It's truly shameful record The voters will
speak their minds in regard to it next Novem-
Der In no uncertain tones. Election day will be
a cold day for the Democracy.
