CnTNCTDENTEC

1t was pertinent observation of Mr. Wheeler
II. Peckham's on the contract frauds that
/" when both parties to a contract want to cheat,
it takes pretty strong law to make them hon
est" Thus when an officer of the Department
of Public Works and good contractor con-
spire to defraud the city, it happens that the
extravagant and fictitious bids of the one and
the false estimates Of the other are so nicely
adjusted to the letter of the statutes that the
two partners can make q certain show of law for
their swndle and insist that therefore the pub
lie must pay. But that the fraud originates in
deliberate deception by the officers or employees
of the Department will not be doubted by any
body who studies few Of the "cOincidcnces y
exposed in TIE TRIBUNE.
When the Department estimates that a con-
tract for regulating Sixty -sec0nd-st will re-
quire 500 cubic yards Of earth excavation and
1000 cubic yards of filing and it turns out
that there are 2,720 yards of earth excavation
and no filling, it happens that d. X. Gallagher
bids the enormous price of So so n yard for
earth excavation and offers to do the filling for
nothing, with the result that Gallagher receives
three times the amount of his bid. When the
estimates on another job call for 1000 feet of
lumber and $1,000 are used-Or at least paid
fort is an interesting coincidence that Pat
rick Mulholland, tho successful competitor bid
on lumber So thousand more than other con.
tractors. 1t is coincidence, too, that the same
Patrick Mulholland bid an extravaganza price on
rock excavation for a sewer, and that the rock
so far exceeded the estimate that he obtained
on the whole 80 per cent moro than his con-
tract. When the Department estimated 600
cubic yards of rock on the West End Avenue
sewer, and there proved to be 1875 yards, it
CHANGED that Abraham Dowdney had the con-
tract at the extravagant price of 81 yard but
Dowdney was to furnish lumber at the low price
of $40 thousand, and instead of the 1000
feet called for by the estimates only 500 feet
were used. In contract No. 1924 the rock was
estimated at 1000 cubic yards, and only 161
cubic yards were taken out, while earth excava-
ton estimated at $500 cubic yards ran up to
$500, Vincent Clark oddly enough getting the
contract at 1 cent for rock and 81 cents for
earth. In the Ninety -eighth-st. improvement

secure permission to manufacture some rough
boxes with Innings Of pure lead, which would
meet the requirements of Russian law. Circum-
locution and red-tape have prolonged his stay
in Siberia nearly a year, so that he will not
reach New York before February.
The letter previously referred to gives an
animated description of the terrible hardships
which the two lieutenants have been called
upon to endure during their melancholy quest
They seem to have acted with energy and
good Judgment from beginning to end, and are
not responsible for the vexatious delays which
have attended the completion of their labors.
They have been exposed to the extreme tenn
peratures of mid-winter near the Siberian pole
of cold; and for two years they have faced
terrible risks arduOus labors and exasperating
Disappointment, loyal to their brave COM
panions of the Il-starred Jeanette and per-
sistent in their endeavOrs to do for them the
meagre service that remained to be done.
Their work, privations and vicissitudes merit
recognition from the Navy Department.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1883-12-14

the earth excavation was estimated at only 500
cubic wards, but amounted to 8, 100 cubic yards,
and Il CHANGED that Michael Finn had the con-
tract at the stupendous price of 81 80 yard'
while the rock excavation, which Finn was 10
do for 80 cents yard, turned out to be about
half the estimate. SO in Thomas IT.. hanes
Fourth-ave. contract, where the rock proved 10
he less than half the estimate and the earth
more than double, it happened that the con-
tractor was to get 81 62l2 for shovelling earth,
and cents for blasting rock. The unhnisheu
contracts of James Reilly and John Brady will
show similar condolences when the returns are
complete. The worst of them is that famous
Job on which Brady gets So a cubic yard for ex-
cavating earth and quarter of a cent for rock,
and has guessed so well at the " errors in the
estimates that on a contract for $l5,676 he Will
realize about $4,000.
We have published analyses of eighteen or
twenty of these condolences" besides tables
of numerous contracts, fraudulent on their face
but not yet finished; and there are more still
to be exposed That they cannot be accidental
needs no argument. Yet the Commissioner OF
Public Works has the effrontery ito say that
there is no fraud in his Office and that il his
engineers habitually make mistakes for the
benefit of the Ring contractors, and never
against them, it is only because they cannot tell
the character of the work they survey without
an additional appropration-whichh he has asked

THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE IND THE
ADTRONDACHS.

The special Committee appointed by
the Chamber of Commerce last week in
accordance with the resolution of MIR.
Morris X. Jcsup, TO take action for the
preservation of the North Woods, began
its work on wednesday in n practical
business like way. Professor Sargent met with
the Committee according to invitation, and in
the course of n brief address setting forth the
general reasons for protecting the forest
growth at the sources of our important streams,
he made one statement in regard to the Adiron-
dacks which is most suggestive. About twenty
years ago lumber operations of some magnitude
were carried on at point between North Creek
and Indian River and beyond the present ter
minus of the Adirondack Railroad. The timber
was cut away and fire, as usual, followed the axe
According to the account of n trustworthy man
who has lately visited this region, the thin soil
has already been secured from the rocks by
mountain torrents, and the place is dcsolate
beyond description. This is nothing but a
repetition of what has often happened in other
countries but il is q lesson nearer home which the
State should heed. 1t shows the necessity for
immediate action, and enforces the point so
often urged in these columns, that delay in this
matter will be fatal. 1t may take century to
recover from the devastation wrought in a single
year.
The Committee determined to circulate
memorial to the Legislature through the City
and the State. 1t ought to have hundred
thousand signcrs before it leaves Manhattan
Island. Our lawmakers should be made to UNI
derstand that the business men of the city are In
earnest and that they are not inclined to sit still
and see the waterways of our inland commerce
DESTROYED. The disastrous climatic changes, the
wasting freshets and parching drouths which
will be sure to follow the stripping Of the tree
growth from these thousands of square miles
should DO prevented ut all hazards, and the
matter has not been taken in hand moment too
soon. The Governor is invited by the Com
mittee to advise some measure of relief in his
message. A bill is to be prepared at once and
the strong public feeling aroused, ifintelligenty
directed, ought to be able to settle this question
finally at the coming session

CONSERVATISM" IN THE SADDLE.
. Major John n. Edwards, gallant soldier Of
the COnfedcracy' and by all odds the most
brilliant writer the Democratic party has in
Missouri, whose political influence in that State
General Frank Blair knew, and Senator Vest
and Senator Cockrell both know, was at Wash
ngton when Mr. Carlisle was elected Speaker.
He was so rejoccd .at the result that he tcc-
graphed to his paper, "Thc Southern Confcdcr-
acy is again in he.saddle." But this appears an
injudiciOus remark to some other Democrats,
who call Edwards "a wild man. Possibly.
What was the COnfcdcracy but an outbreak of
wild men-tOO wild to sec that they were
making supreme fools of themselves What
has Democracy been, whenever it has come
near enough success to get smell of the flesh
pots, but "a horde Of wild men7 But the remark
is considered injudicious. That is because it
contains elements Of truth. Mr.. Carlisle re-,
ceived great part Of his vote from tho South
and about three fOurths of the Southern Ote /;
his ideas as to taxation, banking, currency and
other vital questions are essentially those of
the South and he would never have come any
where near an election if it had..not been known
that he held those ideas.
If one reads Democratic papers about this
time he gets from them!a very interesting con-
ception of the new Speaker. Barnum's "What
is it" was never a greater puzzle than is Mr..
Carlisle, according to these pen-portraits The
