MORE or Mr.. THOMPSONS CONTRICT&
1t is evident from the fresh array of facts pre-
sented in to-days TRIBUNE that it was not the
law as it existed prior to April ! which led
Commissioner Thompson to accept unbalanced
bids. He admits his power now to reject such
bids. But we have shown that one OF the worst
contracts was let after the law was changed
and day many other unfinished contracts ol
the same kind are cited. What the develop
ments will be on some of these contracts the
public can imagine by the extraordinary bids
on which they were let.
Mr. Thompson has been engaged in letting
out these extraordinary contracts almost up to
the very day on which the exposure OF the
fraudulent system was begun i'll The IIuE-
UNE. He has been preparing great deal Oi
work for the courts and for future Assessment
Commissions. The present commission, alter
making reductions in assessments and interest
to the amount of about 81 800 900, had its time
extended one year. If we are to have such Oih-
cials as Mr. Thompson to conduct city improve
mcnts the Assessment Commission will have TO
be made permanent thing. in order to relieve
the courts from that class of business.
1t is interesting just now to recall the words
of Governor Tildcn on the fraudulent system of
unbalanced bids. In a message to the Leglsla-
ture on March IS, 1875. he said: "On exam
"ination it will be found that the prices for the
several items bear no relation to their real
"value In some instances excavation of earth
{" is put at l cent per cubic yard and in others
85 cents are asked. Excavation of rock blasted
" at cent in some cases. and So i'll others.
"Slope wall is bid for in some cases at 20 cents,
{" and in others at 50. Hcmlock timber, which
" is worth at least $12 per thousand, is in some
"cOntracts put at less than $3 per thousand
"and in others at $50 per thousand. Some
items are absurdly low, others unreasonably
"high. In some instances contractor will put
" in proposals OH the same day for different
"iobs, but the prices for the same kind of work
" or materials will vary iii his several proposals
several hundred per cent. II is clear upon
/" the face Of such proposals that some traud as
designed"
A glance at the figures quoted in THE TRIB-
uNE from contracts made by Mr. Thompson
within a few weeks will show much greater
variations than those mentioned by ex-GOv-
ernOr Tilden rock excavations running frOHl l
cent to $50 clbic yard. The Grand Jury will,
no doubt, endcavor to get at the fraud which
Mr.. Tilden says is designed on the face of
such proposals. We have given them material
aid and will be able tC do still more in that
direction.

A NEW ENGLISH OPERETTA.

The majority Of the people who were present
at the Standard Theatre last night when English
opercta brought out for the first time in this country
doubtless found themselves wondering over two things
at the end of the first act At the end of tho second the
wonder had grown TO bewildored amazement. The two
things which thus exercised the minds OF thehcusos pat

having been written why 1t had ever been accepted for
performance here. London has to for the pro-

STATE CTTIL SERTICE REFORM

1t seems to be generally admitted that the
rules adopted by the Civil Service Commission
of this State are wise and sufficient. The Com
mission is receiving cOmmendatiOn on all sides
for the faithful and intelligent manner in which
it has discharged its duties. So far so good, but
il is well for all concerned to remember that
the letter killcth bnt the spirit givcth life
Rules, however admirable, are useless unless
those charged with executing them are in ear
nest. What is to be the fate of these rules 7
The Buffalo Courier firmly believes that they
will be enforced @Though the aims and pur-
"poscs of the reform, tsays, are bipartisan,
{" it is gratifying to its Democratic friends that
the duty of enforcing the new system is en-
trusted mainly to Democratic officers -.
"NObOdy doubts Governor Clcvcands earnest
determination to exercise his authority for the
enforcement of Civil Service Reform, and it is
expected that the other State officers especially
" those who are in political accord with the Gov
"ernOr will cordially cooperate with him." We
join with our contemporary in hoping for the
best results from the rules. But we are by no
means 80 sanguine rs it is. We can scarcely
believe that if the Governor had been thor
Oughy imbucd with the true spirit of Civil
Service Reform he would have placed u Dem
ocrat in the County Judgcship of Republican
stronghold like Allcgany or that he would
have elevated q the bounding Bcebe," a ram
pant Oflice-scckcr, TO the Claims Commission.
As for the chief of the Democratic State officers
that are to i" O-opcratc" with the Governor in
securing Civil Service Reform, it is sufficient to
say that his name is A. T.. Chaplin, Controllers
elect. Mr.. Chapin's relation to such reform APP
pears in the statement that hc purpOscs-unlcs 5
current information is entirely at fault-tO re-
move from the Controllers Department the
present deputy, Henry Gallien. TIE TRIBUNE
has already expressed its opinion of this con-
tcmplated removal. Mr.. Gallicn's long record
IN that department is not only without stain
but it stands for perfect fidelity and marked
efficiency. Democratic and Republican Con-
trollcrs under whom he has served have been
equally hearty in testifying to the value of his
public services Mr.. Chaplin is to remove him
and bestOw his place on a "good Democrat 4"
absolutely without experience in the office.
And yet this is the Democratic State official
that The Courier fondy imagines will "co-
operate" with the Governor TO the end that
Civil Service Reform may succeed! He may
"cO-Opeate just as he may be struck with
lightning.
Another State officer that is likewise to "co-
operate" with Mr.. Cleveland is Treasurer Max
well. If the charge vigorously pressed against
him by fellow Democrats is true he has already
shown his devotion to the Civil Service of the
State by putting upa job designed to place q
portion of the interest on the peoples money in
his individual pocket. Nevertheless, he too
