THERH are several th eories to explain
the introduction Of bayonet bill by
Quay. The thing TO be considered first is
that it is highly improbable, next TO i'm
possible Ia fact, that the bill can become
a law during the short time before the
session closes. If Senator Hoar does not
kill the bill in committee. then It can
not be passed in the Senate without de-
bate. or cloture. either Of which will con
sumo time, after which the bin will still
have TO run the gauntlet in the
House Nobody knows this better
than Senator Quay. But another
Eheory Is that he introduced the bill be-
cause CT the death Of Unit ID States Mar
shal Dill in whoae place he hopes to have
William R. Leeds appointed. One thing
is certain Chairman Quay is too shrewd

great mass Of Republican voters at the

THE report printed ia another column
OF the fsyoritism, IL not something more,
Of the Board Of Health in placing the
contracts for taking up garbage with the
highest bidders is startling piece Of
petty corruption. We have frequently
directed the attention Of the public to the
partisan character and acts Of the Board
of Health, and especially to the appoint
ment Of an executive officer whose only
claim Of fitness and eligibility to the
position was his partisanship. Now we
have to record that partsanship
Is followed by its twin and inevitable
evil. corrupt practice, Here is an in
stance. c0lored man Of the Diamond
State Iron Company put in bid for
removing the garbage ofthe First district
for 81, 250. This bid was properly made
and the man was endorsed and recon-
mended by an estimabls aud wealthy
citizen, with personal letters to the hoard
For reasons satisfactory to the board
that bid has been set aside and the con-
tract bestowed as special picking on
Fred. Winchester, at $1,63),
for doing the same work. This
Is one Of many instances Of pre-
eisely the same character showing the
manner in which the high bids have been
accepted and low bids rejected. The re-
suit Of this system is that good and
worthy men who have served the city
faithfully and who have offered to do the
work At usual prices have been turned
down in some secret interest aud the con
tracts bestowed at higher prices on new
favorites The work which heretofore
cost the city about 50, 600 has been in
creased to about $4,000.
