DISPOSITION OF REFESE.

| That the method in use for the disposition Of
| refuse In this city Is antlquated and wastcful
| there can be no doubt. Commissions have made
| reports and scientists have written treatses on
the subject without stirring up the interest Of
former city administrations far as to give any
| real promise Of Improvement, and the work has
continued TO 20 on in the old. bungng fashion
long after the experience OF other cities has
pointed out better way. Mayor Strong. how
ever, II is gratifying to observe has progressive
| ideas. He Is not content simply TO do work in
the old way better than It ever was done before
He recognizes that there are fundamental de-
fects in the present system. and he has set on
foot practical movement for their correction
His resolution presented to the Board Of Est
mate preparatory TO the reception Of bids for the
collection and disposition OF garbage IL to be
regarded not as declaration OF a detailed policy
but as a first step looking to the development Of
one The Mayor says that the streets have been
kept clean, but that the work costs too much and
brings no return revenue to the city through sale
Of the waste matter collected. SO far as the
present law will permit, he wishes to prevent
this loss.
The suggestion Of Mayor Strong involves two
distinct propositions One Is to turn over the
means the abolition Of the present dumping sys-
tenn and the utilization for appropriate purposes
Of the different kinds Of waste matter collected.
The first suggestion does not have any neces-
sary relation TO the second, and is OF doubtful
wisdom. The experience Of this city and Brook
lyn with contract street cleaning has not been
satisfactory. Nowhere does corrupt admins
tration have better opportunity to defraud the
public than In making OF contracts and allowing
work to be III performed. An inefficient but
favored contractor Is harder to reach than an
inefficient official. The present street cleaning
service has been built up with great trouble and
Is now doing excellent work-work that Is set
ting standard for all future administrations.
which the people will not allow them TO fall be-
low. The service Is expensive, 1t is true but
longer experience and removal Of legal restric-
lions on the advantageous employment Of labor
might enable the officials materially 10 reduce
their outlay This years work In cleaning streets
as they had never been cleaned before was to
a great extent experimental, and involved ex-
pense which could probably be avoided In future
But though the cost be large, II Is doubtful II the
citizens Of NewYOrk on that account would wish
to be at the mercy Of contractors who could not
be better than good officials and might be much
worse than bad ones. With proper laws and
with experienced management the city should
be able to do its own refuse collecting reasonably
and we'll

THE DEFICIT.

About ten days ago it was noticed that the
revenue in July was likely TO exceed $29,0OO,OOO
only q little and the official statement makes ii
$50 2S8,G9S for the month The average for four
previous years was $33.9OO,OOO. so that the actual
receipts were S4,GOO,OOO less than the average
for The four previous years, Of which two were
years Of panic and prostration. deficit avcrag-
Ing $4,GO0,O00 per month, or $5j,2OOOOO per year,
Is the result over which our Democratic friends
are aboring TO rejoice. The fact that their rcve-
nue. law has proved n tariff for deficit. as Repub-
leans declared from the first. IS not willingly
acknowledged.
The customs receipts in July have been off
cially stated as $14.O76,9Sl, but the average for
the three years 1S01'93, including the panic
month OF July two years ago. was Sl6O0OOOO
Notwithstanding the addition Of duties on sugar
expected TO yield $3,GOO,0OO per month"; the Gus
toms receipts show a decrease Of $1,000 900. and.
although the sugar duties have not answered ey-
pectatlons, the actual reduction Of the revenue
from other imports appears TO be about quar-
ter. Much the greater part of the deficit Is d.
rectly due to this change Of duties on foreign
products which was designed TO encourage for
eign manufacturers at the expense OF American

THE TOYAGE OF TIE COLUMBIA

The Columbia has done well. She has made
the run from Southampton to New-iork in days
% hours 40 minutes The distance travcrsed
was 3112 sea miles, or knots. Her average
speed, therefore, was about 1Sl2 knots an hour.
That rate moreover was maintained with re-
markable stcadiness. as the record of daily runs
indicates. On the first and last days she made
400 knots each. On the other five she made from
453 to 4S7 That Is record Of uniformity which
few ships have cqualled As to the record or
speed over the whole course. il Is remarkable Tor
a warship We do not know that any other war
ship in the woSld has been thus tested. Certain
ly there is no record of any other ever having
made so long run In so short time. Perhaps
there some that can do it, and even Guido
It, though we greatly doubt II. If there are the
fact has yet to be demonstrated. Down TO the
present moment the Columbias achievement Is
unrvalled and unchaenged
Comparison will naturally be made between
this performance and that Of the same vessel on
her trial trip. She made on her trial an average
speed Of % 81 knots an hour over course nearly
100 knots long. and at one time was running AT
the rate Of 2531 knots or 80 miles an hour. II
must be borne in mind. however, that that trial
was made with forced draughi. while in crossing
selected coal used on the trial. every lump Of
which had been carefully picked out by hand
was probably little superior TO that used on the
longer voyage. During the trial she was under
the direction Of her builders. and was manned
throughout by seamen, engineers and stekerS
especially expert In getting the utmost possible
speed out Of her, while now she Is manned by an
everyday. general utility crew. better than the
all md x,,l- husse arpa x
able to ply the great engines to quite much
advantage.
1t is not to be expected. therefore. that any
warshp will in actual service repeat the record
Of her trial trip. The conditions are too much
changed to permit It, But. taking all the cir
cumstances into account. this latest voyage OF
the quondam Pirate really seems more praise
worthy, and more significant Of practical service
to the Government in time Of war, than her
amazing performance off Cape Ann. The swift
est Southampton liners of which the regular
work is 10 get to and fro across the Atlantic az

little better than hers. OF all the ocean flyers"
and "greyhounds Of the Atlantic" there are prob
ably not more than dozen. II as many, able 10
outstrip her; and not one Of them. II drafted
into hostile service could be armed as TO over
match her in a battle. SO far as the world knows
today, the Columbia Is able TO 20 about every

diseased cattle in New-Jersey from reaching this

to be affected with anthrax, an infectious dis

County, which have been put under strict quar-
antine, and they feel confident that 1t will be
impossible for any of the infected product to
come into New-York. Cumberland County is so
remote that little II any milk is brought from 1t

their reservation Whatever the rights and

that no further trouble is TO be expected. An
other such outbreak ought to be impossible 1t
can be made so il the right policy toward the
Indians is pursued both by the Government and
by the white settlers. Too often the latter are
the aggressors, being animated by selfish mo-
tives, and there is much reason to fear that this
has been the case in the present instance.
