FAITH CURlSTS
Are to be Driven Out Of New Sork-An
Active ampafgn Begun


Active campaign Begun.
NEW YORK, May 11-President Michae Ell
c. Murphy, of the Board of Health, has
begun an active campaign against all per-
sons whom he considers to come under
the head of faith curers." He has issued
a letter to the chief sanitary superintend-
ent with regard to these persons. 1t reads
in part as follows:
~ on are hereby requested to direct the
assistant sanitary super. ntendents of the
various boroughs of this city to use all
means in their power to discover and To-
cate persons pTecticng medicine without
diplomas. Recent events have shown this
department that uneducated, ignorant,
and those whom / believe to be evil minu-
ed persons going from house to house and
take advantage of their more ignorant
neighbors, processing that they are en-
dowed with wonderful healing faculties
If this system is allowed to proceed great
evil will result
tice / would suggest that you Immediately
communicate with the medical societies
of the several counties comprising the en-
tire greater city and either make an en-
gagement to meet in consulate to adj
wise what is the best method to adopt, or
receive their communications in writing
and afterwards adopt some broad system
that the object in view may be accom-
plished."

The poor old decrepit, much SCOOP
ed" and daily beaten Intelligencer wac
so chagrined over the Registers great
scoop" on B. & o. news concerning
that roads scheme for shortening it's
route to the west and northwest which
may involve the placing of Wheeling
on the main line, that the sleepy old
thing, which, of course, did not have
line about it, has been green with
jealousy ever since and very unwisely
endeavOrS in its impotent way to dis
credit the Registers news and enter
prise, after the manner of its unenter-
prising kind which can do nought but
decry enterprise in others.
The only trouble with our neighbor
is that it didn't have the news and the
Register did, Whether accurate or not,
the Register gave all the news and
from every side, from New York. from
official headquarters in Baltimore. and
locally. And the Register gathered
this most important railroad news of
the day here and from its special cor
respondents in the cities named while
the decrepit Intelligencer peacefully
slumbered in blissful ignorance even
that the B. & o. contemplated new
western connections.
The people will pay more attention
to the worn out organs criticisms of
the Registers news when it exhibits
liberal enterprise enough to go after
and pay for special news of its own.
AS 1t is, the lntelligencer's use in this
community is restricted to it's service

The Committee last evening made no
pretense at revising its figures
/ or scaling down, and not one
word was uttered upon the subject OF
economy On the contrary. expansion
and increased expense appeared to
have been the motif of the session.
Whatever was asked, was granted with
out hesitation and almost without ques-
tion, although there was feeble effort
made to cut Real Estate $1,000. The
only solution, in the eyes of the Com
mittee, was increased taxes upon the
people, and the people will have to
grin and bear it until another election
day rolls round.
1t will be marked that even with
these increased taxes no provision is
made for taking up the floating orders
which have been created the past few
years under the Republican regime
They will continue to draw six per
cent. interest. and when the compro-
mise loan is refunded next year, as it
must be, they will likely be added to
the $4,000 of that loan, making from
100000 to $4,000 of bonds, or net
increase in the debt, instead of de-
crease.
One of these days the people will
grow tired of this sort of thing. The
time is probably not far off.
The fun of the whole thing, however
lies in the apparent fact that the Com
mittee made an error of $4,000 in its
estimate of expenditures. The excess
over receipts is really but $1,000, and
a little economy will wipe that out The
tendency to obtain more money should
be curbed, and better clerical work sub
stituted.

MRS. GEoKGE's BAD BREAK.

Mrs. George, acquitted of the murder
of George D. Saxton solely through the
force of public sympathy, which is al
ways with the wronged woman regard
| less of her technical guilt or innocense,
| is exhibiting mighty little regard for
the proprieties not to say decencies, of
life, and is guilty of extremely wretched
taste in breaking forth from the seclu-
sion which should be hers for the rest
of her natural life, and Haunting her
hpersonality in the public face on the
i lecture" platform.
The public understand Mrs. George
very proper refusal of the people of
Steubenvilie the other day to attend
her lecture" AS a more or less
wronged woman, the victim of her own
folly and the Vaccinations of a false
hearted man the public sympathized
with her, and even though it generally
believed her guilty of the, crime with
which she stood charged it counte
nanced her acquittal and was glad of it.
The public stomach revoIts, however,
at the womans brazen effrontery in
her effort to coin her notoriety into
money by public exhibitions of herself
on the lecture" stage.
Mrs. George is not heroine. She is
very far from being one, indeed. If
she has been misled by foolish advisers
into adopting this means of replenish-
ing her depleted purse, it is to be hoped
that her eyes will be opened at the start
by the frosty reception she has re-
ceived thus far from the public, and
that she will at once abandon her ex-
tremely ill-advised enterprise.

ANOTHER INCREASE IN TAXATION

At last evenings session of the Coun-
ell Committee on Finance resolution
was adopted increasing the tax levy for
the present year by 15c on the one hun
dred dollars, which will result in a net
increase of $4,000 in the city taxes
paid by our citizens over and above the
usual burden-if it goes.
This news will not be received with
any marked signs of public rejoicing.
1t means that the tax bills of 1895
are to be duplicated, and many of our
citizens still have vivid recollection
OF the net results of that conspicuous
year of Republican reform" in city
matters.
The Committee, last evening, figured
the receipts of the city for the year at
$41S,611.51. Taking UP the estimates,
they found they aggregated s452, 7S4.01,
or $34, 1880 in excess of the receipts.
Of this increase $4,000 comes from the
fire department, for a new chemical en-
CINE house, apparatus and equipment
OF horses and men, in the eastern por-
ton of the city-something which is
necessary in the opinion of some. and
unnecessary in the minds of quite as
many. A further increase of $4,000 is
due to the agitation for a new work
house, which the city unquestionably
does not need. The workhouse is an
expensive luxury, and could well be
dispensed with, as is shown by the in
creased number of dodgers there in
these piping times of prosperity. There
have been more prisoners in this insti-
tuition this year than at any time in
the clty's history, and the constant
tendency is to an increase in the mum.

ANOTHER INSTANCE.

1t was politics quite as much as an
four-inch pipe that caused the loss by
fire at the head of Fourteenth street
the other morning. If politics had not
made so many changes in the fire de-
partment, a little over two years ago,
the department would have known
that there was only small pipe
in that locality, which had been
there for twenty or thirty years,
that it was inadequate to supply a suf-
ficient stream and the men would at
once have been directed to the proper
place to get a good supply instead Of
wasting precious time hunting blindly
around that section for a plug with
sufficient force of water to reach the
fire, which in the meantime had got
ten a disastrous start.
If the fire department is not ac-
quainted with the water system of the
city and does not know where water
is to be had in case of fire, upon whom
is the city to depend in an emergency
for this most important of all knowl-
edge?
This is simply the natural outcome
of control of the important depart
ments of the city government by a
gang of irresponsible ring politicians,
who use them merely as adjuncts to
the political machine. The places in
these departments are distributed as
rewards for ring heelers and bench
men, who are put in the places of old
and experienced employees without be-
ing required to have any special
knowledge of the highly important
| duties connected with these depart
| ments, on whose efficiency and prompt
action the lives and property of the
citizens depend, with the inevitable re-
| suit of such costly bungling as that we
have alluded to. 1t is the natural and
| legitimate fruit of ring politics.
