Snow Bills and Rum Bills.

Every day new evidences OF the policy
of the Democratic municipal administration
to use the highway as recruiting Office
for the Democratic ring are brought to the
attention of the JOURNAL. OF course the
city must pay the bills. The ring will not,
however, mar its record of economy 60
by allowing these big bills to come into the
municipal years accounts where it IL
possible to avoid doing so. To be
more specific the JOURNAL cites the case OF
one man with snow bills against the city
who, when he presented those bills to the
street commissioner few days ago, was
told that they would not be allowed until
after the first Of March. This only DEM
oustrates what was palpable before. The
large, unnecessarily large. snow bills which
have been incurred must be paid, and the
taxpayer will have to go down into hit
pockets for the money to pay them--a
good part of them there is reason to be-
lieve after the Democrats have got hii
vote by making false showing of economy
Not only will the taxpayer be compelled to
pay these bills, but an additional expense
10 being incurred.
In the present stress of conditions the
ward heelers feel that it is not enough to
employ every wavering Democrat on the
road with his team if he has one, but it 10
also desirable to keep him in jovial mood,
to dull the suspicion in his mind, to render
his heart receptive to the words
of the willy ward worker. The lat
ter has found jug of rum very use
full to bis purpose and it is very convenient
to have a city agency that can be looked to
for the supply OF liquor. 1t is much cheap
er for the ring--to get it from that source
for the city pays the bills. The JOURNAL
may be pardoned for surmising that both
the rum and the snow bills will, many
of them, be put in for next
years administration to settle. There
10 certainly good evidence of such q
plan. We also are curious to know
whether the liquor agent will put in any
extra time" for dispensing the ardent
among the weary snow shovellers. There
10 the expense of jug of rum, the expense
Of transporting said rum to, say ward seven
and then the expense OF pouring out the
libations in judicious measure - that no
thirsty soul may 60 away dissatisfied, &C
that no wavering Democrat may remark
that the rum was mighty poor at the price
the city paid for it, or that A. got a more
generous libation than he. Ward sever
isn't the only ward in the city where the
potency of agency rum is making itself felt
The heelers are cultivating terrible thirs
in Democratic anatomies, to sustain which
until election will require gallons Of cit,
rum. But then you know the city pays tn,
bills.
