innocent city officials are compelled by wicked

mandatory on the city authorities. In the Board

that 32 per cent OF the budget was discretion
airy and only 6S per cent in any way mandatory.
This phrase is entirely misleading OF course.

State law, with certain definite powers and

small part of what are commonly called manda-

datory expenses are fixed charges such az every

10 persons actively interested in the anti-Tam-
many campaign when he said day or two
ago: Don't call any man a friend TO can
'didate who brings his name out now If any,
thing can kill Of these men il is the serious
discussion OF his name at this time There
NAV be persons who want TO make some pos
sible candidate an impOssibility by premature
promotion-a process which has been frequently
employed in the history of politics. and usefuly,
perhaps, at times. But Mr.. Platt was not
addressing himself to crafty boomers, II any
such there are at this juncture. His meaning
was that the too early though honest exploita-
ton of this or that individual within the pos
sible range of choice might have the unfortu-
nate effect of finally excluding him, even
though he were personally worthy OF the most
careful consideration. The Senator himself mas
observed a wise reticence ever since the dis
cussion of candidates began, and impatient
canvasSers of the situation would do well 10
follow his example.
There is ample time ahead for all the require
ments of successful campaign against TAM

Over 80 per cent of the city budget is dis
cretiOnary. when all the expenses that must be
met as matter of course and the few which
are mandatory in the objectionable sense have
been put aside Surely there is leeway enough
for administration to show it's disposition to
extravaganza or economy. 1t is by swelling
such expenses that the budget is enlarged by
millions and the tax rate raised by many points.
The salary increases and the high prices paid
for supplies after the fashion for which Scan
nell is now under indictment are discretionary.
If the fixed charges are heavy, that is all the
more reason for economy in matters of dis
cretiOn; but in these matters Tammany has
been notoriously lavish and wasteful. and it
cannot escape responsibility for its patent abuse
of such freedom as it has possessed by the
excuse that over some of the city's expenditures
il has had no control.

OUR ABSENT MAYOR


Where is the Mayor of New-York? There
have been times when the person who occupies
that Office has been much in evidence and his
testy speech and waggering ways have served
20 bring this city TO attention both at home and
abroad. Anybody can see that we have Mayor
when some foreign visitor is in town 10 be in
suited for the sake Of awakening the admira-
tiOn Of the mob. gratifed at having a Mayor
as III hammered as itself. There was no trouble
about finding him in the palmy days of Devery.
when he pronounced that backmailer whom
= Tammany government had itself driven from
Office. "the best chief Of police NewYo1k ever
had" Now, however when the public interest
calls for his presence and action he carefully
keeps out Of sight.
What would be said OF the President of the
United States II at a time of national crisis he
remained in hiding? Suppose a great scandal
developed al Albany, would not the Governor
he expected TO hasten there TO see that the law
was enforced and the peoples welfare guarded?
In this city to-day tremendous scandal exists
The most important department of the whole
city government is apparently honeycombed
with corruption. One policeman is convicted

also involved in scandals, and, Notwithstanding

Many people are turning 70 the Governor and
with mistaken zeal. for action, calling on him
10 remove the Police Commissioner When
things are IN a condition making such exhorta-
lions plausible and popular. there must be a
situation requiring the attention OF the clty's
