Az INDECISIEE DECISION.

In its efforts to promote a fair and rational
settlement Of the consolidation question The
Tribune has repeatedly asserted that the vote
OF 1894, whether technically decisive not, was
not an intelligent expression Of public opinion
and desire at least so far the people Of Brook
lyn were concerned This assertion has been as
often denied, but we cannot admit that 1t has
been refuted The evidence seems to us to show
that q great ma ajOrity Of all who voted for and
against the proposition had neglected 10 inform
themselves OF it's real character and did not
even begin to understand what it involved, but
merely expressed by their votes rather feeble
inclination in favor Of or opposition to an alb
stract idea. We suspect, indeed, that many OF
those who now feel strong on the subject un-
consciously exaggerate the strength Of their feel
ing at that time 1t seems to them that their
support or hostility, the case may be- has
always been strenuous and determined, whereas
1t has grown to its present state since the result
Of the election transferred the scheme from the
region of sentiment into the field Of action.
Ex-Congressman COombs doubtless spoke for
n multitude of citizens when he said at the hear
ing yesterday that, though public man. he had
never given so much as ten minutes thought to
the subject before he cast his vote in 1894 Mr.
Coombs probably would not deny that his in
difference or neglect was rather discrcditable
than otherwise but that Is not the point. 1t
must be assumed that no loyal member OF any
community concerned would wish TO have Its
future determined by snap judgment. The
Legislature certainly has power to proceed as II
the consent then given were conclusive as TO
the real sentiment Of Brooklyn, but its moral
right to do So and the advantage or such
course cannot be so readily conceded. Was tina

Brooklyn Republican asks for information.
He is puzzled To know why. after what Is con
ccded 10 have been two years OF good govern
mcnt under Republican Mayor. the taxes in
that city are still 50 high as compared with the
amount levied on property OF equal value in
New York City. He wants 10 believe in the
honesty and competency of the Republican off
clas. but is not entirely contentcd that they have
not worked a miracle and freed Brooklyn from
having the penalty for sllrrcndering itself for
years into the hands OF corrupt and wastefu
rllcrs The citizen will be troubled by no con-
scientious scruples about the management of
affairs by his party if he will carefully examine
the facts. On the contrary, he will discover
plenty Of reasons which would justify even
higher taxes than are levied. and he may be
sure that whatever has been spent has been
spent honestly: for had the slightest crooked
ness existed in any office It would not have
passed unnoticed by hostile critics With all
their search they have found nothing, and for
the last two years have had TO content them
selves with petty fault-tinding over errors OF
Judgment OF minor officials, and have never
dared even TO hint at any administrative cor
rupton. They have not even dared to make an
issue Of taxation.
During the reign of the Mclaughlin Ring the
situation was far different. Exposure after eX-
posure Of corruption and waste was made.
Millions were squandercd ut St. Johnland: :
watcrworks contracts were entered into which
gave favored contractors large sums for poor
work: leaky reservoirs were built which had to
be repaired at great expense; street franchises
were given away; transportation companies ia
oil nv tho Ring allowed
ton; street cleaning was literally paid for but
not obtained, and bad pavements were laLl
where not required at an enormous outlay. The
debts Of city and county were Inflated almost
to the constitutional limit until the credit Of the
city suffered, and for time during the Boody
administration its bonds were not considered Il
desirable investment by many bankers. The
inheritance Of the Schieren administration was
city burdened by debt. its sources Of Indirect
revenue wasted through favoritsm for Ring
owned corporations impcratlvely demanding
public improvements which in former years II
had been taxed for without receiving return.
1t was not cheering prospect for the new city
,inanciers, but they faced 1t bravely and sue
cessfully. The county charities abuses have
been done away with. The city's credit has been
restored The most imperatively needed i'm
pr0vements have been made. and made hon
estly The dirty ill-paved town with inadequate
schoolhouses has been transformed in two years
to an extent that could not reasonably have been
expected.
AS we'll ask receiver who undertakes to re-
habitate bankrupt corporation to pay divi-
dcnds to the stockholders as TO require light
taxes from an administration attempting to
store n city suffering like Brooklyn under the
burden of old debts and neglected interests.
