BAD STATE OF AFFAIRS.
Report Of the Committee Investigating
New York City's Government.

ALBANY, n. Y, March IA.
Roosevelt, the chairman of the Assembly
special committee, investigating the various
department of the local government of the
city of New York. presentrd voluminous
report today. The report says the committee
found many abuses due, net TO the exis-
tence of bad laws, but to non-execution, eva.
sion or violation of good ones. To remedy
this, the committee a2reed to report nine
bills, which, in their o inions, will do away
with the gross abuses they found to exist,
and make saving of at least $500, 900 per
annum to the city.
The committee investigated thoroughly
the Offices of register, county clerk, sheriff
surrogate and partly Investigated the depart,
ment of parks, taxes and assessments, and of
law. In hardly one office or department, ir-
respective of the political affiliations of the
incumbents, did they find both honesty and
efficiency indeed, the whole government OF
the city, so far as the examiners could see.
seemed to be in condition which is abso-
lutely appalling.
The report says the testimony taken in re-
lation to the alleged detales or arrange
ments, by which the present mayor, and the
acknowledged detales by which the present
President of the Board of Aldermen attained
their respective positions, casts curious
SIDE light upon New York politics, and
shows with startling destinctness that under
the present system the men who nomnally
hold Office are not the ones who really ex-
ercise the power, but that the latter on the
contrary, are generally outside parties who
cannot be held responsible to the people for
their deeds and misdeeds.
The committee recommend the indictment
by the Grand Jury, of the clerks in the Sur
rogates office, who have illegally collected
fees in the Sheriff's office. The report says
the abuses disclosed were too numerous to
admit of more than an curaorv mention. In
the civil branch of the Sheriffs Office they
found repeated and iagrant instances OF
blackmail. and charges for the transportation
of prisoners in 1888, showing that more than
half of the amount charged with clear profit.
Summing everything up, they find that the
Sheriff, in 1888, received SS5,l for his ser
ices. Therefore the committee report bill
making the Office a salaried one, and fixing
the amount of salary at S25, 900 per annum.
The evidence taken shows the Sheriff has in
his possession money in which he has no
possible title which had been taken from
the treasury by means of fraunulent vouch-
ers by the Sheriff subordinates. In conclu-
Sim. the committee say that information has
been furnished them tending to show that
some of the remaining departments in New
York, are in condition fully as bad as
those examined.

He Wants to Keep Friendly With the
United States and Offers Some
GratuitOus Advice.

ST. LOUIS, March IA.
The Weatilicbe Post publishes extracts
from the official dispatch of Prince Bismarck
to the German consul in the United States in
regard to the prohibition of American pork
Prince Bismarck instructs the consels to do
everything in their power to cultivate friend
ly relations between Germany and the United
States. He says the prohibition of American
pork arose altogether from sanitary reasons.
and has no unfriendly character whatsoever.
and intimates that it would be for the inter-
est of the United States to adopt such sani-
tary measures as exist in Europe and thereby
put Germany in a position to permit the i'm
portation of American pork. The dispatch
shows conclusively that the German chan
cellor does not want to provoke retaliation,
but that it his his aim to preserve friendly
relations between Germany and the United
States.

The sentiment which will be expressed in

ton are:
First, that the house of representatives had
q right to adopt and transmit to Germany the
Reichstsg resolutions, expressing their opin-
ion Of the character and ability of the de-
ceased German statesman, its sympathy with
the democratic i,iesrs held by him, and con-
dolence with the party in German politics.
to which he belonged, in the loss they suffered
in his death.
Second that it would not have been dig
nifed course for the house of representatives
to indulge in abuse of B ismark for asserting
his right to say when the resolution reached
him that they should go no farther, As the
question of his right to assert his authority
is one to be settled between him and Reich
stag.
Third, that the action of the State depart
ment in the matter is deserving of common
dation.
