masses in New York city as never before
has been recorded in political history. 1t
will send back to the slums thousands of
idle pap.suckers who hang upon the me-
tropolis like leeches and suck millions Of
money from an overtaxed people. 1t will
break the necks of every ward patronage
dispensing Alderman, striker, and every
political boss in the city, for without the
power to dispense patronage and distribute
rewards the average boss is as powerless
as an infant. This is divorcing municipal
government from machine politics with a
vengeance. 1t goes beyond anything this
paper has ever advocated in that direction.
1t is SO perpendicular in its uprightness
that it almost leans backward. But there
is significance in the resolution that the
machine" element will be wise to heed.
With New York in the lead, Brooklyn at
her side. Philadelphia already free from
the shsckles, and the ferment of reform
beginning in Chicago, there is reason to
believe it will rapidly extend over the
country. and that the people will set up
this maxim over their door posts that will
never be taken down, "Official patronage
shall not be used to maintain the power
of municipal rings and political dictators. l."
Remarking upon this subject SO strongly
partisan a journal as as the New York
Times says: The interest which is now
so strikingly manifested is caused by the
reflection of all intelligent citizens upon
the palpably mistaken principle on which
the ordinary administration OF the city
proceeds, and the sentiment to which the
meeting gives expression is one of deter
mination to change that principle for
better"
The New York Post, speaking of the
fact that John Kelly is the real ruler of
New York, says "There is absolutely
nothing to be said in defense of the present
system. 1t simply makes John Kelly's
parlor the center of municipal power, and
a Tammany /" deal the controlling force
in all city elections. No Mayor who is
held to strict personal accountability for
his appointments would dare to make such
selections as Mayor Edison has, and John
Kelly, deprived of the Aldermen as
means of post.election pressure, would not
be able to extract ante election pledges
which would put the Mayor in his power.
And, referring to the same subject, the
Herald, at date when it did not think it
possible TO secure the passage of a charter
reform bill, said ; 90 From time immemorial
our Offices have been known and recognized
as the bOnanzas OF city politics. They are
given by the tradition of the local Democ.
racy to popular politicians purposely to en-
rich them, In order that they may do this,
the fees must necessarily be out of all pro-
portion to any service the incumbent could.
render. The objects and interests of par
ties and political factions are substituted
for the objects and interests of the people,
and public officer is consequently inves-
tigate1, not as delinquent part of the
machinery of popular government, but as
political opponent or a political associate.

TIE YELLOW FEVER AGAIN.

The San Francisco Report is alarmed at
the news that the yellow fever has broken
out afresh along the Mexican coast, and it
urges strict harbor quarantine. and a
stricter quarantine on the railway lines
crossing and along the border. That is well
enough; but if the policy San Francisco
has hitherto pursued is adhered to ana car
ried out in all possible fullness, she will
send swift steamers to the Mexican ports,
load them up with yellow fever patients.
bring them to San Francisco, and land
them among her people. Such course
would be scarcely more reckless than that
pursued last summer. For the sake of
a small trade, of benefit to very few,
San Francisco refuses to solicit from the
Washington authorities the power to arrest
communication by sea between infected
points in Mexico and the California ports.
San Francisco alone can secure the neces-
sary regulation. In common decency she
should ask for it. Why should vessels
be permitted to come into the harbor at all
from yellow fever ports? In Spain they
manage better, and shut out ships from
places declared infected. There can be no
hardship to ship proprietors in this, for,
having notice, they will cease to ply to the
Mexican coast until the fever has disap-
peared. OF course q strict examination Of
all passengers from Mexico should take
place at the border; and for the matter of
that, the same rule suggested for the
sea should be applied by land. If
yellow fever secures foothold in
this State this year through the neglect of
precautions that may be taken, there will
be fearful responsibility to be borne by
the guilty parties. The advent of the
fever here means its retention in our val
leys for several years. It never leaves
country speedily. 1t has now entered
upon its second season in Northern Mex
leo, and will certainly remain there one or
two more and possibly until the fourth sea-
son. California cannot afford to take the
punishment which will follow the coming
of the fever to the State. We believe that
the chances of it's entering can be dimin-
ished hundred-fold by rigidly enforced
regulations. At the same time we confess
that there is very little reason to expect
them to be applied. We have a way in
California of waiting until the eleventh
hour, and even then Of doing nothing but
curse our "luck." We need more vigor
in prevention, more energy in preparation,
and less grumbling about the theft of the
horse from tie stable which we leave IN
locked

MES. and their appreciation of genius as
manifest in operate composition, then the
latter or critical class must be expected to
yield the benches wholly to laces and sat
irs, for neither composers, managers nor
singers will respect or fear them when they
realize that they are no longer dependent
upon them. As upon the stage dramatic
ability is threatened with eclipse by mere
scenic display, in the opera is it not true
that the severity of taste which alone can
command among the world of new COM
posers the highest development of lyric
conceptions, and from the world of singers
evoke exquisite and lofty examples of op-
cratic vocalization, is threatened with ex.
pulsion from the benches by the "society
crush ?" In these considerations we are
not called upon to take into present ac-
count another and quite as potent agency
tending to degeneracy of public musical
tastes-opera bouffe.

WHY NOT DEAL FAIRLY7
Insufferable Cheek Of the Evening Paper
Demonstrated"

Since it continues to call for evidences OF
the necessity for levee improvement to the
extent of $40, 900. why does not our evening
contemporary publish Engineer Bsssest's re-.
port, such as appeared in the RECORD. UNION
Ordinary fairness should coustrain our neigh
Dor to do this. 1t has never published that
report, or even synopsis of it 1t printed s
brief sketch of it which was made in his note
book held in his hand by representative Of
the Bee, while Mr.. Bassett read his report to
the Citizens Association. The Bee has since
admitted that the report made under such
unfsvorable conditions was inaccurate in st
least one important particular. 1t was more
than that. 1t failed to present Mr.. Bsssett's
report favorably. Our idea of good journal
isrBis to give our readers the facts in such 5
case, that the debate upon them may be in.
teliigent. If our contemporary once pub
fishes the report of Mr.. Bsssett it will be
found to present the necessity" for which it
continually doth cry That is precisely
what it does net wish made public, and it
avails of every possible means to prevent the
testimony going out to its clientsge. That
we declare to be an unfair method, which
might be denominsted by more vigorous
and expressive word.
Last evenings Bee contained the following
writer in the RECORD UNION this morning saws
Engineer Bassett has proved the necessity of an ex-
penditure upon the leyees this year of $4,000.
Wherein 1t has been demonstrated against him
that the embankment at Brighton is the safest point
in the entire leyee system that where he!wants the
north levee repaired is blocks away from the Amer
can and protected by thick jungles.
In the name of the Prophet, WAS ever such
insufferable cheek witnessed? To demon
strate is, "to establish so as to exclude posi-
bility of doubt or denial" says Webster.
Now, mark: l. The City Engineer. by fig.
ures of actual surveys, shows the Brighton
swale is but one foot above high-wster mark
2. That if water passes over it will flow down
into our levee basin TO the city. 8. The Bee
itself hiss tloice editor4dly said that lcork is
needed at Brighton and on the Y-St1eet leuee. +"
Now it comes up and declares that it has been
DEMONSTRATED that the Brighton section is
the safest spot in all the levee system. Here's
freshness. When, by whom, where, how has
it been demonstrated Simply by the eye
sight and opinion of a very worthy citizen, J.
H. Carroll, who unquestionably believes he
is right ; and like statement by an unknown
pioneer" And this is demonstration
against actual surveys.
Now Mr.. Bassett offered the Bee oppor.
tunity to demonstrate that he is wrong, by
having some other engineer make survey !;
and then, as a correspondent yesterday said
the uncomfortable sheet replies, "Thst is
ministerial" Heaven save the mark Such
style our neighbor has the effrontery to
style argument" 1t is downright injustice,
and the shabbiest methed to which q weak
cause can resort.
