Economy in the City's Expenditures.
The amount collected in taxes for the
support Of the city government Is largely
in excess of those for the same period IN
any previous year, and show that our peo-
PIE are willing to give the present adj
ministratiOn the sinews which are
necessary to secure an economical man
agement. Many outstanding Diils,

maid and if NAV be said that just at this
time our city is in very healthy tnan-
cial condition.
II l. reported. however, that the eX-
penditures bid fair to exceed the amounts
asked for III the budget, except in few
items. notably the outlay of the Streets
aud Lanes Committee, which will
be considerably below what was
asked for. While there can be no objec-
ton 10 spending money for sohd improve

fathers should look to it that
there are no unnecessary burdens put up
on the people, in the matter Of increase
OF the salary Of any person, at least for
the present. II there is any change in
this respect. it should be in the way of
reduction.
At the meeting on the 18th Of April the
special committee appointed to inyesti-
gate the various departments Of the city
government with the view to curtailing
expenses. said in their report:
I'VE are opposed to the high salaries
which certain city officers are at present
receiving. The ordinances fixing the sala-
ries have been in force some time, and
although We are heartily in favor
Of a reduction in salaries, believ-
ing thereby an immense amount of
money would be saved 70 the city. we
[ fear. however. that a retrenchment in that
| respect cannot be accomplished at the
present time. We are in favor, at the
/ earliest practicable moment, of reducing
the expenses Of the city in this regard.
In conclusion, we urge upon the Chair
men Of committees to closely observe the
/ expenditures of their respective depart
ments. and see that expenses are incurred
only when absolutely necessary. By the
| exercise Of vigilance and attention to this
matter the city may save a large sum Of
money"
Following out the idea in the first para
graph. the Offices Of Lieutenants of Police
/ were abolished, and an ordinance passed
creating that Of Assistant Chief of Police,
thus saving $500 year.
The gentlemen who compose the Board
/ of Aldermen are as good citizens as Sa-

and 10y carrying out the sentiments of the

Some sixty years ago John Taylor, a
Southerner, analysed the protective tariff
policy, and showed its effects when he
wrote as follows;
''The whole community, poor and rich,
is taxed by the protecting duty system.
Had the small body of poor comprised in
the manufacturing occupation received
this tax they would have ceased to be
poor. If such be the case there is no fur
Their occasion for the tax; but if their pow
erty continues, we can no longer reason
upon a suppOsition that the protecting
duty tax is received by the poor manufac-
turers; and we are forced to conclude that
it is tax upon the poor and rich of the
whole community, all being consumers,
for the exclusive benefit Of the rich of one
occupation. This is arist0cracy in its
worst character
If Mr.. Taylor were living now and could
count the plutocrats, he would be decid-
eddy confirmed in his convictions.

Peering Into the Future.


Both parties are drifting. The main
difference is that the Democrats already
descry the rocks on which they are in
danger of splitting, while the Republicans
are padding comfortably along, uncon-
scious of any peril except the casual
waves of local disagreement. The break
ers in their path are out of sight. 1t is
hardly to be believed that we can get
through another Presidential canvass
without a division of the political forces
on the issue of a commercial policy for
the nation. 1t is question on which the
sentiment of the people is divided, but the
line of cleavage runs athwart the party
lines. There viii be efforts to prevent the
split from coming, but the people. cannot
remain divided into two political parties
which do not correspond with the -di-
vision of sentiment that exists among
them ON the chief political issue Of the
time. The position is a strained one
which can hardly be held through another
Presidential struggle.

Herbert W. Eaton, who killed a young
man named Kelley at Calais, Me-, in a
drunken brawl, has set a singular exam
pie which, if followed by other murder
ers, may be productive Of much consOla-
ton to the families of their victims.
Eaton says ne VIII never drink another
drop of liquor. Whatever his fate he pro-
poses to look after the material welfare Of
the family Of his victim, for whom he
seems 10 have the deepest sympathy and
pity. In addition to the 500 which he
sent to Mrs. Kelley Immediately after the
death Of her husband, he has since given
her and her daughter $500, and is to pay
them 500 per year, with annual interest
on the whole amount, twO-thirds 10 the
widow and One-third To her daughter, and
in case either dies the whole is to be paid
10 the survivor.

The Boston AdcertiSer leaves the alb
sorbing topic of Tewksbury long enough
to remark:
'sThe ladies of the Baltimore COnfed-
crate Society have wisely determined not
to display the Confederate colOrs on the
day set apart for decorating the graves of
soldiers who died in fighting against the
Union. 1t was first -rGm0fed that the
young girls Who are to strew the flowers
were TO be dressed in cOlOrs which symbol
the lost cause. To the act cOmmemora-
tive of undOubted valOr no one can raise
reasonable objection, but when emblems
of treason are made prominent good taste
is violated and bitter memories are re-
ViYed."
As an ''emblem of treason the stars and
stripes size up about as perceptibly to
the eye of the average BritOn as the stars
and bars to that of the ''trOoly fUtl'' Re-
publican. The difference is that one rep
resents success and the other failure.

A Big Show Billed.

1t happens unfortunately for the G.. o.
p. in MARYLAND that, lust as the Demo-
Gratis are adjusting all their infelicities
and getting ready for harmonious work,
the Republican bosses of that State are
set by the ears again on the great and
vital question, Federal patronage. Grim
visaged war had, apparently, smoOthed
his wrinkled front, and the Republican
brethren talked as if a new era of good
feeling had dawned ON them. But the
front is now preternaturally corrugated,
and the rival bosses, with their war paint
spread on thick, are mounting barbed
steeds to fright the souls of fearful adyer-
saries. An interesting circus is immi-

nOunces that "the whole weight of the

the people of New York as Presidential

The Republicans have claimed vested

know that as the race increases in intelli-

But time sets all things even, and eXpe-

disappointed the hopes of those who saw
in him prospective political bondman.
Indeed, it may be said Of the war

question of their cOnstitutiOnality. the
south Is the better of for their accept

They should be able 10 correct the i'm
pressions Of the able editor who penned
the following for their highly valued
journal:
1t Is an unnatural and thoroughly anti
Republican condition of things when a
State three years ago cast Isl, 600 votes

| vote of $4,000, with only 334 in opposition

not prevail. Any attempt to turn back

Georgia after 1884, if not befOre.''
There is no danger Of reaction in
| Georgia, but the little of that article that
has developed in Massachusetts,, to the
view Of outsiders, appears decidedly
healthy. As to the new party for Georgia,
send it right along, or, perhaps, sample
will suffice.
