Clubbing an d Paving.

There is no good reason now why the
curbing and paving of sidewalks should
not be pushed rapidly forward where
ever the public exigences require. The
ordinance lately passed by the City
Council if strictly enforced will always
insure sufficient fund in the appro-
priations for curbing and paving side
walks to meet the expenses of laying
curb and paving the sidewalks.
Of course it is generally understood
that the property holders along the line
where curb is set and sidewalks are
laid are at the expense of such improve
ments. The appropriation for that pur-
pose is merely to meet the immediate
demand to pay for material and labor.
The money first paid for work is really
but money lent by the city to give the
property holders a little time to meet
the expense. Formerly, the money
spent by the city for curbing and paw
ing, from the appropriation for that pur.
pose, never returned to the appropria-
ton again, but when collected was paid
into the common City Treasury and
found its way into the general fund to
meet the current expenses of the city.
Now the case is different. The money
collected is paid back to the appropria-
zion from whence it came, and that APP
preparation by this means can be al
ways kept full. The money collected
for one can Immediately be expended for
another job of the same kind, and thus
a revolving process is continually kept
up and through it all sidewalks where
required and where necessary are
promptly curbed and paved when asked
to be done by the property holders. This
being the case there should really be
no delay in curling and paving. If
only curb is set and sidewalks laid,
muddy streets can be more easily en-
dured, and as those who petition to have
Curbing and paving done have to bear
the expense, there should be a prompt
compliance by the committee having
such work in charge with the desires
of the property holders

The queer political combination ap.
parently existing between Col. Thomas
Ford, candidate for the Democratic
nomination for Sheriff, and Col. II. b.
McIntire, candidate for Chief Engi-
neer of the Water Commission, is ellie
iting considerable comment since the
REPUBLICAN, alluSion to it the other
day. That such a combination exists
is now believed especially by those who
have business in the vicinity of the Gus
tom House, and whose attentions are
attracted to the tall, handsome forms OF
the two Colonies as they hold confabs
together on the steps at the entrance to
City Solicitor Turner's office. All, if
only the schemes concoctcd within could
be revealed, what a sight of Democratic
Vaccinations would be revealed.

but these doughty Colonies had better
keep their eyes on the Second and Third
wards They are mighty "onsartin' in

THE question of the Methodist timer,

New York East Conference just adj

term of Il pastor beyond three years
if all parties were satisfied, was heated.
ly discussed, and at last voted down by
vote of 100 to 50. The younger
preachers, who generally got the best
appointments, advocated the resolution,
while it was as earnestly opposed by
those who were passing into the silver
tinged period. One opponent of the
resolution grew so warm that he said
those who advocated it were animated
by the same spirit that animated the
men who tried to disrupt tie Union in
1861.

the entering wedge had been found that
would lead to the abolition Of the timer
