The members of the Board of Estimate and
Apportionment have not deserved well OF the
CITY. Tn fact, their meeting of last night, when
they adopted the department estimates, was
meeting of i'll omen to the taxpayers of New
York. Last year the total of appropriations
for all purposes was $50, 676,7S5 70. For next
wear the total is nearly $3,OOO,O0O greater,
amounting to S33,373,1 57 80. Of this enor-
nous increase only 81, O36,6O7 81 Is accounted
for bv the heavier State tax, leaving $780,
764 OF as the weight which our city govern
ment has added to the load under which the
taxpayers had previously been staggering.
The Board of Estimate last year was
not niggardly or penurious. 1t was
made ND of men who had as clear COM
prebension of the city's real needs as the mem
hers Of the present Board possess. 1t has been
moved. over and over again, to the satisfaction
of everv reasonable man, that we have
the most wasteful system OF munlcpal
machinery in the world. Our city expenditure
could be immensely reduced and no one Dut
politicans and their creatures would suffer-
What warrant can there possibly be for raising
the city budget more than million ana
balfP In these heavy burdens which
orr Democratic city officials are heaping higher
and HIGHER every sensible man will see
the strongest of reasons for supporting the Re
publican candidates in the coming election.
Our tax-rate next year will be scandalously
high. and we have to thank our Democratic
friends for it. Is it not time for change in the
men who control city affairs ? The election OF
a Republican Senate and Assembly and Re
publican Board of Aldermen next week Will be
important steps in the direction of economy and

THE BR0OKLYY CONTEST.

Mr.. Hendrix has not fulfilled the expectations
of his political manager. When nominated for
Mayor of Brooklyn he was unknown outside the
circle of his professional associates and OF the
Board of Education, where he had done some
useful work in readjusting teachers salaries
The Dublic however, was not disposed to Judge
him without giving him hearing 1t knew less
of Mr.. Low two years ago than it knows now,
and it was disposed to admit that another young
man might have qualifications for most re-
enonsible Office which had not been disclosed in
the active business of his life. 1t seemed only
fair to expect that Mr.. Hendrix, if he really de-
served the nomination, would reveal his fitness
for so important public trust i'll meeting large
bodies of citizens in the course of the canvass
and in discussing the questions of the day with
clearness and intelligence, as Mr.. Low had done
two years ago.
In this respect Mr. Hendrix has made sorry
failure. He has not proved all effective speaker
He has not impressed his audiences as being
man of genuine force of character. In accept
ing the nomination he blurted out his PARTISAN
ship in few sophomore sentences OF which his
opponents have made a most effective use
dnring tile canvass. He closed his first speech
in the wards with the abrupt declaration that il
he were ashamed of the nomination Heaven was
his home His speeches in German have been
school boy tasks, and ordinarily he has shown
himself to be master of vulgar taunts and cur
rent slang rather than of pure and dignlhed
English and courteous controversy. His views
of public policy have been cramped he has not
eyinced familiarity with municipal business ;
and he has not advocated any principle OF re-
form. While his speeches have lacked original
ity, breadth of view and force his attitude has
remained dstnctively partisan. He has not
said anything to indicate that Mr.. Mclaughlin
cannot safely depend upon him to follow orders
and to make a political use of municipal patron
are in the Presidential campaign.
Meanwhile Mayor Low has been steadily
gaining ground. His speeches have been dignl'
6ed in tone and incisive in style, and have pro-
duced most favorable impression wherever
they have been made. He has not shirked ms
responsibility for the increased tax-rate avail

The Democrats are not only making night
AGAINST the contract system in the State prisons,
but they oppose the plan of carrying on the pub
lie works of the city by contract. In December
last Commissioner Coleman advertised for
bids to carry out to sea the street refuse. lie
received bid. accompanied with ample security
the acceptance of which would have saved the
CITY about S2OO,O 900. 1t would, however, have
;pterfcrcd with one of the means of controlling
Italian votes, and the Democrats in the Board
of Aldermen protested against the change An
Injunction was obtained and on techncallty
in advertising the contract Mr.. Coleman was
prevented from carrying it into effect. l nat
was the end of the proposed change, Mr.. Cole
man apparently not deeming 1t best to oppose
his party further i'll the matter.
Now the Tammany Democrat in the
Board of Estimate and Apportlonment'
Mr.. John Reilly, is insisting that the con-
tracts for cleaning the streets shall
not be renewed Commissioner Coleman
has increased his estimates for 1881 i'll order
to meet the extra expense of returning to the
old system of days work in the lower part
of the city.
In the Public Works Department. by re-
fusing to buy his coal by contract, Commits
sioner Thompson has been paying nearly y
ton more than the Board of Education and the
Department of Public Charities and Correction
nav for the same quality of coal. by re-
fusing to have repairs to sewers and other work
of that kind done by contract, given to the
lowest bidder, the taxpayers are annually bur-
dened with large and wholly unnecessary tax
Democratic opposition to the contract
|
system of carrying on public improvements
in the city probably costs the taxpayers
hundred of thousands of dollars annually
If the same party succeeds in its oppo
sition to the contract system in the prisons
and forces q return to the old plan of State
factories, it will add 100000 annually to the
tax burdens of the State. AT least that was
what it cost to sustain the prisons under that
system before, and ii will not cost less if tried
again. The real motive Is the desire of tn,
Democratic politicians to profit from the change

Another day has passed and still that order from
Mr. Chaplin for 1000 600 copies OF HE TRIBUNE

The so-caled reports of Matthew Arnold's lee

1t has long been matter of wonder to many
observing residents of NewYorll that so many
shooting galleries are allowed to exist In the
disorderly quarters of the city. The carrying
of concealed weapons is properly forbidden
here; and still the authorities, by permitting
these shooting places TO be kept open, make ire
ouent access to firearms easy to the worst
classes. The guns and pistols are handled OF
course under some restraint; but there is con-
slant danger of fatal results. The man who
was killed by a woman yesterday morning IN
one of these places probably met an accidsntal
death; but it might very easily not have been
accidental. The desperate and disspatcd men
and women, always more or less intoxicated,
who frequent certain parts of Sixth-aye and
the Bowery in the small hours of the morning
ought not to be allowed the chance Of accidents
of this kind

The benighted Democrats of Massachusetts
are actually waking up at length to the TACT That
the tail is wagging the dog-or III other words
that General Butler is using them Tor his own

Decency.
There is news from Cairo this morning which
Ia important in relation to the English Occupa-
don of Egypt. 1t is that the False Prophet Oh
Soudan has been totally defeated by the Khe-
dives soldiers under Colonel Hicks, the Eng

The British forces should remain in the Nile

was so weakened 10y Arabis rebellion that
he needed English authority to hold bis native
troops together to resist the progress OF the
False Prophet in the South. 1T this pre-
tenders career is finally ended, the khedive
will feel better reconciled at the prospect of soon
being left alone with his subjects.
The amusing effort of Mr. Ecclesne and few
other Democrats of this city, who control no

There seems to be no end to the literature OF
the Greedy Relief Expedition. The last con-
tributions, however, are interesting. One Is
an order of the President directing a Court OF
Inquiry as to the management OF the expedition
from the beginning the other is letter from
the Secretary of War to the Chief Signal Officer,
General Hazen Mr. Lincoln asks for an expla-
nation of the confusion which seems to have
arisen in regard to the supplemental order to
Lieutenant Darlington, which was never put
into the shape of an order, but which was long
supposed to have been so formulated. In the
course of his letter the Secretary INDUCES In
good many sharp remarks which might have
been delayed with propriety. Now that the
Court of Inquiry has been ordered there Is no
need to censure Darlington or any one else
even by implication, until the Court has made
a report
