yesterday that complete answer on this score

TAMMANY'S CAMPAIGN FUND.
Democrats Not in Position to Make Charges
Of Corruption.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Judge Parker's complaint that the corpora
lions are subscribing enormous sums 10 the Re
publican National Committee reminds OF
Grover Cleveland's remarks in 1892. when he Ia
mented that the Republicans were debauchins the
suffrage with Doodle but at that very time
Mr. Cleveland knew that thousands of dollars were
contributed almost daily TO the Democratic cam
paign fund in New-York.
Perhaps Mr. Parker knows of Tamrnany's colossal
corruption fund IN 1897 when the first election
for Mayor OF greater New-York occurred.
The writer on the authority OF merchant stock
holder, states that the Metropolitan Street Rail
way Company subscribed $4,000 10 the Tanmany
campaign fund IN the year 1897,
Richard Croker, when witness before the
MazeJ Investigation COMMITTEES OF lSSS was qGes-
toned concerning the MetrOpohtan's contribution,
but OF course. he denied the story.
The Democratic disbursements at that election
were simply Enonstrous probably five times the
amount subscribed TO both the Republican and Cit
zeus Union committees
In view of the recent completion Of the subway,
n is worth noting that the Tamrnany Mayor. from
1895 To 1902 often refused attend the meetings OF
the RAND Transit Commission. and the Tanm.Lny
Corporation Counsel held up the contract about sin
teen months thus keeping several thousands O.
persons out OF employment during that period.
OF course Tammauy's delay for the purpose
of 'di,estng'' the subway contract and not out OF
gratitude TO the Metropolitan Street Railway Com
pany for its trifing contribution

votes since he began stump for his party. ana

MORE SAND. LESS WATER.

Mayor Mcclellan spoke wisely upon the sub
ject of sprinkling and sanding the streets in
his talk the other Gay with Tribune re-
porter. There can be no doubt that for years
past our street sprinkling system has been al
most wholly bad. II is ridiculous and prepos-
ferrous" the Mayor says, that that impor
tant public work should be farmed out to
money making alien corporation. 1t would be
about as sensible to farm out to some detective
agency the police service. to give to some
corporation in Oshkosh contract for extin-
gushing fires. Not only is the system thus
vicious in its organization. but il is also in
tolerably bad in its execution. The streets
have not been properly sprinkled. The work
has been done apparently without the least
discretion or common sense At times the
streets have been neglected until they were
as dusty as the Sahara in Il simoom, and,
again. they have been flooded until they were
so sloppy and slippery as TO make travel upon
them all but impossible. One-half the water
that has been poured upon them would, If APP
piled with discretion, have been ample to lay
the dust.
1t should be obvious TO even the meaneSt i'll
telligence that Il street should either be merely
moistened be thoroughly washed. This is
one of the cases i'll which there is golden
mean" The mean is not golden. but sloppy.
sticky and nasty. When street is covered
with dust slight SprlnkIlnS VIII prevent that
dust from rising into the air until it can be
swept up and removed Or Il thorough flush
ing, not from II sprinkler, but from hose
throwing a forcible stream, will sweep the
dust into the sewers and leave the street clean.
In some cases the one method is preferable, in
others the other. But if instead of either we
do as our street sprinklers have been doing,
If we simply slop q lot Of water upon the
street the dust is transformed into an unspeak-
ably nasty mud, that is at sticky and
slippery, making the street lOathSOme to men
and positively dangerous to horses. That is
the condition in which the streets of New-York
have habtually been under the present sys
tenn We are told that system is about to
come to an end 1t ought TO be an everlast
ing end.
But, whether we have more water or less.
we need more sand In some cities whose
streets are the admiration OF the world, it is
the rule to flush and wash the pavement clean
and then sprinkle it with sand from curb to
curb 1t may be that is what should be done
with asphalted streets when they are thus
flushed though there is good authority for
doubling the need of it if they really
washed clean. They should surely be sanded
when they are coated with ice, they
often are in our climate. 1t is a disgraceful
thing 10 have horses slipping and falling by
scores all along the avenues as they so often
do. when a little sprinking of sand would
make their footing secure. There used TO be
a fayorite nursery song about Little drops of
water little grains of sand" Inc guardians
Of orr streets would do well to recall it and
10 remember that the sand is as essential as
the water.
