ul,ut claim that tie Administration III general,
and the Post Office Department III particular,
was more economical than Congress. The
whole world knows that the claim Is dishonest
one. The Question is not one OF economy, but
of wise expenditure Of public funds to secure
pnblic benefits. Congress decided That laOney
expcndcd to promote the foreign commerce. oil
the country, by securing n better foreign mail
service, would be wisely expended. Mr.. Villas
asserts the contrary, and makes his opinion

Ay EXPLANATION REQUIRED.

The supporters OF the citizens tickct In
Brooklyn have been placed in most embar-
RAISING position by disclosures made by eX-
Mayor Hunter and Mr. Mclaughlin. General
Woodward is represented TO have consented
several weeks ago to allow his name to go be-
fore the Boss rs a candidate for Mayor. Ex-
Mayor Hunter after consulting with. him went
to Mr.. Mclaughlin and asked him to use his in
fucnce to have the nomination made by the
Democratic City Convention. The Boss de-
clined to interest himself in General Wood
wards behalf, preferring to name Mr.. Whitney
at his own pleasure.
The Citizens League IS accused by these two
witnesses of having taken up one OF the unsuc-
cessful suitors for the Boss's favor If it has
not done So it ought to lose no time in lispos-
ing of this damaging campaign charge, Cen
eral Woodward cannot consistently nah the
citizens of Brooklyn to elect him as champion
of non-pai tsanship if short time ago he
authorized ex-Mayor Hunter to solicit a nomi-
nation from Boss Mclaughlin as tho machine
candidate. We have no desire TO deal unfairly
with General Woodward or his supporters, but
this is a vital point that requiyc@ immediate OK
plauatiOn.

keep open the Metropolitan Museum OF Art
and the Museum of Natural History. These
excellent institutions are largely the result OF
private subscriptions. For the city authorities
to withhold the small appropriation for their
maintenance, simply because the trustees nave
not opened the Museums on Sunday, would DC
an extraordinary proceeding.
Governor Hill has sense enough to know the
weak points in his canvass. His record on the
question of municipal reform is one OF them.
Hence he has told a local committee mat II
elected he would approve of spring elections,
home rule, and anything else they might ask OF
him before election day. But after that date ne
will unquestionably resume his old place as an
enemy to every measure that interfereS with
the political bosses who support him. When
the reform Legislature Of 1872 passed spring
election bill to enable the citizens to get Ild OF
Mayor Hall and other members OF the Tweed
Ring, Hill voted against the measure. only
few months ago he vetoed tho Brooklyn reform
bills which would have given measure OF nome
rule and economy to that city. He approved OF
bills that fastened an additional annual tax OF
$500, 900 on this city, in spite of the protests
of the Mayor aud other city authorities. lie
Opposed the Roosevelt investigation, and has
been n persistent enemy of such municipal re-
form rs interfcrcd with his political 1rlends.
For such a man to talk in favor OF munlclpal
reform is simply prepOsterOus.

THE RIGHT SORT OF REFORM:

The N. Y. Sun is evidently pleased, and
BEAMS thusly on Secretary Manning:
The Independent Republican profess
sional civil service relormers continue to
regard Mr. Manning with suspicion, He
has too much knowledge of the prac tical
eide of politics and makes too little pro.
fession of faith in their special theories
10 c, mnaud their entire confidence.
While these hstidious critics are wor.
Tying about Mr.. Manning, he has bsen
giving an illustration of practical civil
service reform by dismissing forty
EuperAuous employees in the special
agents division and saving $40, coo a
year TO the Government.
Il will probably be Mr.. Mannins's for
tune to make more than one appoint
Inent which will not be satisfactory to
Ihe Independent Republicans, bat we are
not aware that be is under any obligation
TO satisfy them.
Mr.. Manning did not make the worse
bank President because be was & poll
ticiAn. anA he will not make the worse
Secretary OF the Treasury because he ID
a politician. He may disappoiut the
Independent Republicans. but be is 10,
likely to dlsapnoint the expectations aud
