REVISING TIE P4YROLLS.

Governor Odell yesterday approved the bill
authorizing the Board Of Estimate before May
TO readtust salaries and positions in the New
YORK City municipal service The Board Of
Estimate simultaneously issued an address TO
the borough presidents and heads Of depart
ments calling for a new schedule OF salaries
which shall make reduction of not less than
10 per cent in the payrolls. excepting those OF
the teachers and uniformed forces There is
some difference OF opinion as TO the amount
which viii be saved by this cut. Some think it
viii not be less than 100000, while Others say
that they do not see how more than half that
sum can be saved. Every lit Of reduction pos
sihle in the Budget is worth while, bat mere
important than the particular sum saved, he il
large or small is the enforcing Of the habit of
economy and the grading of the service on the
principle of making salaries proportional TO the
work done.
The Tammany habit of fixing the salary
according to the political influence of the en-
ploye or his sponsor has resulted in giving
clerks $1,000 and $1,000 salaries for work
similar TO that for which Others got from
5000 TO $500. Such a practice was as de-
moralizing as it was wasteful and unjust 1t
discouraged worthy men and promoted idleness
and careiessness Without classification of sal
nries II is impossible 10 secure the discipline
necessary for the proper transaction of the
public business The schedule Of salaries pre-
pared by the Board OF Estimate is reasonable
and the request which il makes for reductions
and dismissals in the higher grades is one
which should be needed. No worthy employee
need suffer from il, for even under reform
administration there is no likelihood that public
work in the lower grades will be done cheaper
than the rate for which private employers could
secure the same service Those who now get
no more than they could earn elsewhere will
not be disturbed, and those who get more
have no right TO complain if their pay is suited
to their work. One OF the greatest reforms
which could possibly be made would be the
establishment Of private business rates for pub
lie employment 1t would be a civil service

CLERS ~ NEW-YORh

Cable dispatches report that sumptuous
new club is to be established In London. with
an entrance fee Of forty guineas and annual
dues of fifteen guneas In addition. the lnfor
nation is vouchsafed that these charges will he

the British metropolis. If that Is true. Gotham
is considerably In advance of the modern Baby
lon in the expensiveness OF membership in such
organizations. There are clubs here with an
entrance fee Of $500 and annual dues OF 500.
In few of the most celebrated and important
OF these associations In New-IorE do these
charges fall below $500 and SIS, respectively,
and in the stateliness OF their homes and the
luxury of their ways the wealthiest and best
known of the clubs Of New-York need not
shrink from comparison with those of any city
in the world.
Yet only half century ago club life in this
city was modest and lowly almost beyond be
lief. The number of clubhouses was small and
no one of them was especially imposing or con-
spicuous. London at That time contained many
famous associations which had been prosperous
for generations and since then the list of such
bodies has been wonderfully extended in the
worlds biggest town. But British club men,

the handsomest and most striking buildings in

advantageous sites. But there are many other
fourishing and celebrated clubs in America most
famous avenue. some of them with membership
running up into the thousands, but not owning
homes so costly as the three just mentioned. And
in other streets there are dozens and scores of
associations which afford their members ali the
advantages and enjoyments of high class clubs.
Amazing indeed have been the expansion and
development of the club elements and features
in New-York life, especially in the last dozen
years. and it is evident that no reaction has set

MANILA, March 9.-Col. James Forney,
of the marine corps, will preside at the
court-martiaI to try Major LittIeton w. T.
Waller and Lieut.. John III. A. Day, of the
marine corps, on March II. on the charge
of executing natives of the Island of Sa-
mar without trial. The courtmartial will
be composed of army officers and officers
from the marine corps.
The charges specify that Major Waller
and Lieutenant Day killed three native
stevedores on the streets of Bazey, Island
of Samar, without trial. These stevedores
were among those who accompanied the
disastrous expedition of Major Waller and
a detachment of marines to the interior of
Samar last December.
1t is claimed these stevedores mutinied
and proceeded TO the foothills, where they
dug camotes Ga variety of sweet potato),
and that they later concealed and refused
TO turn them over to the Americans. say
ing that when the marines died of hunger
they would have good supply of arms and
ammunition.
Sympathy is expressed for Major Waller
who at that time was suffering from men
tai and physical strain. Lieutenant Day
apparently obeyed Major Walters orders.

These May BE COnsoIidated-Many
New Enterprises-Germa Soon TO
Establish a Bank.

MEXICO CITY, March 9.-American ac-
tivity in extending banking facilities here
attracts notice. The new State Bank of
Chiapas, a remote member of the fedora
tion the Guatemalan border has been
opened for business with half million
dollars capital. The new bank of Orizaba,
with a paid-up capital OF $150.0O0 is also
a new American institution, the stock be-
ing held here in this city. Orizaba is now
an important industrial center, and has
hitherto lacked banking accommodations.
There is talk of establishing an American
bank in the famous mining city Of Pachuca.
All American banks in the country are
fiourishing, and there is a rumor OF the
ultimate consolidation of these institu-
tions, making one great American hank
commensurate with the growing Importance
of commercial relations with the United
States.
Many companies for business in this
country have recently been organized in
the United States and in England The
German Bank will establish a branch here,
as Germans desire TO have a bank of their
own, and, as they are important factor
in the commerce of the country, they can
easily support ii.
