REFOPM-ON THE SURFACE.

1t is not pleasure to TIE TRIBUNE but the
reverse, to find the President of the United
States exposing himself to just criticism. To
every right thinking American of either party
what the President does well should give pleas
ure and pride, and what he does i'll should give
sincere regret. For this reason it must be re-
GREETED that the President has thought fit to
hold out expectations of more radical and
thorough Civil Service Reform than has ever
been expected, while most fiagrantly violating
the simplest rules Of reform and of good gov
eminent alike in some Of his performances
Americans do not wish to feel that their Prcsi-
dent is disngenuous 1t does not CRAFTY
them to find him acting as if he had so mean
an opinion of their intelligence as to suppose
that words could blind them to acts for which
no excuse appears
The talk is fine. Through Democratic jour
mails the country is informed from Washington
that the President has become completely dis
gusted with the scramble for office, is aware
that it brings disgrace upon his party and blocks
the work of his Administration and is resolved
to stop it by drastic measure of reform. 1t
is reported that he wants to have no appoint
ments made hereafter for political reasons to
let body as independent of partisanship as
the Supreme Court pass upon the qualifications
OF all applicants and then to give each place
to the best man without regard to political

large expenditure of money. One day. as he
was sitting in the curule chair thinking COM
fOrtably of himself, Frocsome Sprite flew in
at the window, and, noticing the Magistrates
complacent air, said cod Man, you look
happy" "And why shouldn't II" returned he.
81 am the celebrated man who said didn't care
damn for votes and here are S22 pages of my
Public Papers bound in coffee color" Now
when the Sprite heard the remark about votes
he knew the Magistrate was giving him what
"Thc Evening POST calls "guff" and made
up his mind to have some fun with him. TAX
ing up the coffec-c olored Public Papers, he be-
gan: "Why, what lovely language. How
beautifully You express yourself There never
was anything like it. Yeu,Ought to be the
High Panjandrum of the Psychologists" With
that he chucked him in the ribs and set him
laughing Then he got feather and tcklcd
his ears and nose and mouth till the Very Sue
cessful Person went off in commissions and fell
down dead. Wisl<insIle, entering just then,
said: "What have you been doing with the
GovernorT' And the Sprite answered: Meth
ing only having some fun with him." Then
the Wiskinske, after going through him. said /:
" Hes dead. Send for Coroner" And the
Coroncrs jury saw the smile on him and said,
without leaving their seats: Gle was ticklcd
to DEATH And the Frolicsomc Sprite, spread
ing its beautiful wings. sailed away as if moth
ing had happened, singing gayly as he went:
How doth the little busy bee
Improve each shining hour.
Ana gather honey all the day
From every opening flower.
Moral for Roswell PcttibOne Flower: Don't
get "tickled to death"

The cruiser New-York made a good run TO
Boston, arriving there shortly after noon yes
terday. Her average speed from the Delaware
Breakwater was nearly 10 knots an hour. To-
morrow she is expected to make preliminary
run over the course on which her official trial
trip is to be made few days later. The con-
tract requirement is 20 knots an hour but,
taking into account what the New-IO DIRK has
already done. it is reasonably expected that,
under favorable conditions. she will do con-
siderably better than this, and yield handsome
bonus to her builders, the Cramps. The New
York is an exceedingly important addition to
our Navy, and it is to be regretted that she
was not completed in time to take part in the
recent unrivalled naval display on our coast.

the State tax rate, which has already been
fixed The Governor takes credit to himself
for the fact that since the adjournment of the
Legislature he has vetoed bills appropriating
money to the amount of Sl,051,50 This is
all very well, but most persons see, it Mr.
Flower does not that every act of economy on
his part is severe reflection upon the Demo

the Democratic party in the State.

The right of the city to keep an eye on the
institutions to which children committed by
the police justices. and which receive an allow
ance of public money for the maintenance of
those children, is unducstionabe. The investi-
CATION which Dr. Morcau Morris. of the Board
of Health, is making under the direction of
the Mayor. the Controller and the Health Com
missoncrs is therefore just what is needed. As
a trained sanitary expert Dr. Morris il peculiarly
well fitted for this mission. If any abuses exist
they will not be able TO escape his trained and
vigilant eye. lie has been especially directed
to take note Of overcrowding, and, Of course,
food. sanitary conditions, etc. viii demand his
careful attention.

One of the important questions before the
National Board of Fire Underwriters yesterday
was the question Of increasing rates on account
of the great losses recently sustained by the
insurance companies. OF course National
Board of this kind could not be expected to
give special attention to the conditions prevail
ing in this city, where the dreaded demorallza-
ton of the Fire Department through the intro
duction of politics into it is most important
factor in the situation. That this will soon
have an effect on the insurance companies doing
business here is in every way likely, and prop
erty -owners may expect to learn that Tammany
misgovernment is even more costly thing than
their tax bills alone prove it to be.
When the Legislature adjourned there were
l03 bills left in the Governors hands, and he
had thirty days in which to dispose of them
Mr.. Flower completed his task yesterday, how
ever, two days in advance of the time allowed
him. lie has signed 2s2 of the bills and
vetoed 1:1. On the whole, he has given more
careful attention to the subject of legislation
since the adjournment than he gave during the
session. In one respect his work is deserving
of specially honorable mention. There have
been no "podxet vetocs" this year that is, with
every bill which failed to win his approval
Governor Flower filed memorandum giving
the reasons for his action. The precedent thus
established is a good one.
Governor Flower approved the Supply bill
yesterday, after vetOing items amounting to
e53O,000. When it reached him the bill car
ried total of almost 100000 lie has re-
duced this to S2.444,714; but, unfortunately,
his use of the knife will have no effect upon
