NOT ENOUGH.
country.

There is very general conviction
among heads Of departments that the
dollar limit does rot furnish money enough
to carry on the city government. Auditor
Broderick is reported in his party organ as
saying that "the city cannot be run on the
dollar limit, and every one cOnversant with
its affairs we'll knows it," Mr. Broderick
has apparently received light from some
source since he subscribed to a platform
the chief plank of which was an indorse-
ment of the dollar limit. But Mr.. Brod-
erick's lack of consistency is of little ini-
is if he is right in his latest conclusion. Is
it impossible to run the city government
on the dollar limit? The dollar limit pro-
vides revenue corresponding to the growth
OF the city. The revenue increases as fast
as the taxable property of the city in
creases The question then takes this
form: If l per cent on a taxable basis of
S200.000.0 600 ia enough, is not per cent on
taxable basis of $500. 100000 enough? If
not, why not? Does it cost more per head
to provide for the needs of a large city th an
of small one? May not the several de-
partments-the Fire, the School and the
Police-be conducted on large scale as
cheaply relatively as on small scale !?
Should 400 policemen cost more per man
than 200? Are more fire engines needed
in proportion to population in city of
100000 than Of 100000? If 700 school
teachers were enough to teach $1,000 chill
dren in 1885, is it necessary to add 60
teachers when the number of pupils In
creases by one or two hundredi II heads
of departments proceed on the principle
that expenditures increase in considerable
excess of the increase of wealth and popu-
lation. it may follow that the tax rate
that was sufficient six years ago is insuffi-
cient now. But will not these gentlemen
please tell US why? The revenue now is
S1,500.000 greater that it was six years
ago. This is an increase Of nearly 80 rer
cent. There has been no corresponding
Increase in the growth of the city. The
conclusion is that the heads of depart
ments who are clamorlng for more money
propose by kind of unanimity of vocif-
Grafton to scare the Supervisors into acqui-
essence in their scheme.

TURNING THE COLD SHOULDER.

The New York Times undertook to per-
form service for President Cleveland by
convincing Congress in the proposition to
repeal the silver purchasing act. The
Times only partially succeeded. OF 444
Senators and Representatives only 1873 re-
sponded. The conclusion is quite natural
that the Congressman who agreed with the
President were more ready to respond than
those who differed with him. The latter
might be reluctant to invite executive
hostility, while the former would as natnr-
ally range themselves on the side their in .
terest prompted them to take. But Of 213
Democratic Senators and Representatives
only Sc replied in favor of repeal. The
responses of Republicans would naturally
be more free, as they have nothing to ex-
pect from the President in any case. A
reasonable conclusion is that in the Presi-
dents party there are not much more than
fifty-six Senators and Representatives who
will vote TO repeal the silver purchasing
act unless compromise is made on some
measure which is satisfactory TO silver ad-
yOcates. Under these circumstances Mr..
Cleveland may as we'll call Congress to-
gether at one time as another.

HOW THE CHINESE ENTER.

The influx of Chinese into the United
States through ports in Puget Sound has
long been notorious. They have been
taken from Vancouver Island in open boats
directly across the straits in fragrant viola
ton of law. They have been transported
inland on British territory and smuggled
over the boundary by numerous under
ground expedients practiced all the way
across the continent. They have also been
struggled southwark on swift sailing ves-
sells and landed On the California coast
very successfully. How many thousands
have thus been foisted upon the coun try,
in spite of stringent exclusion law, people
not in the secrets of the trade can only
vaguely estimate. Besides Mongolians,
contraband on a great scale has been car
ried on in opium. That also has come
from Puget Sound ports. The sound is
simply infested with smugglers, who are
defying the laws of Congress and reaping
large rewards for the not very terrorsome
risks they run.
How has the underground machine ~
been operated? Clearly not without Off
cial assistance. Magnificent as are the
opportunities for cOntraband plotting and
work in this region of ISLANDS, narrow
lslets and creeks, the operators would fire.
quently have been caught had there OF
been organized official detection. Customs
ofnclals who earn more money by not
doing their duty than they do by honest
service are apt to.wink at occurrences pass
ing under their nose. Tons of opium and
scores of Celestials are invisible to men
who carry hand behind the back. They
dip further aud further into the smuggling
Until they become as valuable as leaders
OF the gangs. The need of confederates is
obvious. 1t would not be profitable to
oribe or share with every body, even if that
could be done, but few corrupted int
the cOntraband service are Indispensable.
They give notice of the movements OF
those who are vigllant and cOntrive that
they are evaded, and they achieve as much
in this way as by their own laches. The
thirty Chinese who were discovered the
other day in sealed car en- route from
Seattle to Portland could hardly have
passed the guards without connivance.
The treasury is making an example of
some of the Puget Sound customs men.
They are being turned out OF office. But
that Is all the punishment they receive,
and probably they are not disposed to
commit suicide in consequence Ii they
are guilty Of what they are suspected OF
doing they have had opportunities of
making fine haul of smuggling plumber.
1t is said the temptations are so great tha
politics play no part. 1t is q if Puget
Sound were a wrecker's coast for the
thrifty in contraband. But it is villaino Gus
work in The injury it inticts on the
