NOT only were the expenses OF the
city government last year very largely
in excess of those of four years ago, but
the estimates for next year show an in
crease over last. Thus the salary list.
which was SAT. 10 last year. is estimated
at $50, 800 next year. Why should there
be any increased There is an estimate of
$3.50 for Especial police judges" The
people elect a police judge, and pay him
So. 900 to perform the duties. Where is

judResq Tomlinson Hall janitors, which
cost $2,372 last year, are estimated to
cost $4,000 next year.. Why any in
crease7 Fire force pay rolls, which
were S10O,17 70 last year., are estimated at
S113,O96 next year. The increase is
much too great. The police force, which
cost SS6,SS6 last year, is estimated at
S104,04 next year-an enormous in
crease. The station house. which cost
S4. 645 last year, is estimated at $500
next year. 1t cost q good deal too much
last year; why should it cost more next
year? The city ambulance service.
which cost S211 last year, is estimated
to cost $1,000 mex year. The Sullivan
ring must have private information
that there will be a great many casual
ties next year. And so expenses are
keyed up all along the line. This is the
true tax-eating method.

THE DEFENDER OF GAMBLING HOUSES.

Saloons. gambling houses and houses of
prostitution were recognized as necessary
evils. They have never been suppressed
in any city. and cannot be suppressed. Tho
keepers were notified by the board that so
long as they maintained orderly places
they would not he subjected TO petty per-
secutloD, but il anyone were rot bed in one
of them or II q place were conducted so as
to become O nuisance, or IN any other way
made offensive. every legal power of the
board would be used to drive them out of
the city. Under this policy these places
have been quiet and orderly, and there has
been no complaint of them except for CAIN
palgn purposes.
So says the Sentinel. Saloons whose
keepers are protected by license have a
legal right to carry on their business
legitimately. in the manner prescribed
by the law. Gambling houses are
not recognized by the law in any
form; consequently, if the Board of
Safety has authorized them to pursue
their vocation, it has violated the law
and its members should be dismissed.
The Sentinel knows hat half the saloon
keepers in the city violate the Sunday
and closing laws, and that a week does
not pass in which there is not a brawl or
a shooting in some of them. 1t can
know, if it does not. that men have been
robbed in gambling houses. and that
scores of Young men. and even boys,
throng them. The Sentinel can know, if
it would, that after one gambling case
was disposed of in the Buskirk court
the police knew that it was useless to
bring another. AS the organ of the
Democratic party the Sentinel declares
for the wide-open policy-that there
shall be no restriction upon gambling
houses and no regard for law. The de-
cent people of the city think differently.
They believe that q war Of extcrmina-
tion should be made upon gambling
hOuses-that all sorts of dives shall be
suppressed. The Sentinel would have
them continue to control the city. The
Sentinel errs when it says there is no
complaint now except "fOr campaign
purposes" Last Sunday several WELL
known preachers denounced the open
gambling houses, two of whom, on IA
tiOnal questions. are innocently in SYM
pathy with the Sentinel. Democrats. as
we'll as Republicans, do not want wide
open gambling bells, for the sufficient
reason that they do not want their sons
or employees ruined.

IT will be seen that the rate of interest
paid by Controller Woollen during the
last fiscal year ranged from 334 per cent.
In October to s per cent. July 0, 1898.
This is q wide range. In this connec-
tion it is proper to remark that the
larger part of the S12. 500 borrowed at s
per cent. in July, was made urgent by
the necessity of paying the excessively
large street gangs employed for three
weeks prior to the Democratic primaries
to carry them for Sullivan, Buskirk and
reform.

MULHALL, the English statistician, in
his dictionary of statistics, gives a dia-
gram showing tho increase of wages for
all labor in the United States, England
and Ireland for forty-ive years, begin

United States the increase was from 81

40 to 60 cents. and in Ireland from 16 to
30 cents. The average is for all wage
earners-men. women and children.
