ONE OF TWO THINGS.

Great is retrenchment! The Repub-
iicans who previous to election raised
the cry of extravaganza against the
Democratic city administration, and
who have brayed long and loud, "Sal-
aries must come down." are now in an
unenviable plight. After numerous
chamber meetings, long debates,
and much twisting and turning,
they have managed to cut down
the total amount of salaries
paid city officials just about $1,000, and
in so doing have been obliged to eX-
hibit parsimony that must be humili-
ating. The signal failure to economic
convicts the Republicans of one of two
things-either the Democrats were very
nearly as economical as was possible,
and the cry of extravaganza was lie
pure and simple, or else the Repub-
1icans are failing to keep their promise
of retrenchment to the people. They
can have either horn OF the dilemma.
and welcome to it.
