RECLINING TO SEE.

II is worth noting that the people in
the country are watching those in
mower with more attention than the
masses in the city. Quoting from a
private letter to the Register from a
patron at Chenille, the writer has
the following very pointed comments
to make on the party in power, both
in State and National affairs. We
commend his thoughts to all our read
ers:
II think the American people are begin
ming to see that the present admnlstra-
ton is run and carried on in the interests
of the few against the many in favor of
the ella sses, trusts and monopoles and
combinations If the corrupt use of money
is to be carried on and men who are

cent interest. or adopt the refunding or
tinance, which it denounced as political
scheme
The City Receiver is altogether
wrong as to the Registers position on
city expenditures. First, it has not
advocated an increase in the police
force; on the contrary it deprecates it,
on the ground that in these trying
times the taxpayer has his hands full
to make both ends meet; and, second
for the same reason it is opposed to
an increase of expenditure in the fire
or any other department that is not
an absolute necessity. With economy
in these directions the city will have
a reasonable amount for street and
sewerage betterments, so badly need
ed. But all expenditures should be
within the limits of reasonable taxa
ton and based upon policy which
will gradually decrease the city's debt,
diminish the interest account and the
saving thus made spent from year to
year in well considered improvements.
This is the Registers position, and no
other.
The Colonel for his own political
purpose puts up a false premise and
then undertakes to batter the life out
of it, and. we suspect, all because the
Register was largely instrumental in
defeating the City Hall rings pet re-
funding scheme, which, If it had been
successful, would have placed the city
hopelessly in debt for generation to
come But that mattered little to this
new school of economists SO it gave
them the handling and spending ex-
travagantly of big pot of money.
And for what? Needed city improve
ments,'' says this coterie. All, yes.
But not a word about the other thing
so much nearer their hearts-their re-
election to Office and control Of city
patronage But the Register believes
Wood cocks little game" was pretty
well understood by the public and
completely relegated to the rear for
some years to come.
If our public servants, and Col. For
gey in particular. who seems to be
mouthpiece or catspaw for the ring,
will try to realize the fact that the
public has spoken emphatically on this
matter; that at this time it wants cur
tailment and economy in city expend-
lures instead of increase and extrava-
gance, and, having thus spoken 1t
wants a we'll needed rest from the
plants and opportunities Of these self
appointed censors, they will find them
selves better appreciated, as then the
inference may be that they are devot-
ing themselves less to politics and
more to their legitimate duties.

COL. EORGEY THROWS HIMSELF INTO
THE BREACH

Our genial friend. City Receiver For
gey, who has cranky notion in his
head that his duty lies in the direction
of telling the community what it
should do rather than devoting his at
tention exclusively to the accurate
keeping of the citys books, undertakes
to read the Register a lesson on Its
false ideas of economy etc, etc.
The animus of Col. Forgey's diatribe
is in the opening sentence, wherein he
says:
"The Register throws aside its false
IDEAS of economy and tells the people
whom it deceived hast fan into defeating

A LESSON INFERRED.

At the banquet given in Havana
Saturday night, to the officers of an
Austrian ship the Captain Of said Aus
trian ship said, referring to the United
States, Austria can never forget
Macmillan and his fate. AS hereto
fore, Austria stands beside Spain"
all of which has been accepted as an
unofficial but inspired notice to the
country that Spain has an ally. Austria
may be forgiven for never forgetting
Macmillan and his fate" The result
of the little excursion of the Austrian
Archduke to Mexico was a solemn
warning to the effete monarchies that
they would never be allowed to extend
their ideas and influences to the West
ern Hemisphere. The West is repub-
lican in its ideas and form of govern
ment, and the small remnant of Euro
pean control now existing will disap-
pear in a short time and forever Aus
tria, indeed, will not forget MaXimil-
ian; neither will France.
