where New Works Money Goes.

According to the Census Bureau, the
city of New York expended for NUM-
cipal purposes in 1904 four times the
money that Chicago did. As the popu-
lation OF the Illinois city was about half
that of New York, 1t Is evident that the
per capita cost Of city government here
was double that in Chicago, and there is
no reason to think a comparison OF the
expenditures for the current year would
show a diff erent proportion.
In every department OF the city gov
eminent New York pays the highest
wages. It's school teachers, policemen,
clerical employees OF all grades, and
laborers, skilled and unskilled, receive
higher compensation than the corra-
spending employees of any other city
or the workers engaged under similar
conditions in private employ. The city
Is conducted on lines of extravaganza
that would bankrupt a private concern,
and the constant tendency is toward
higher relative expenditures, rather than
lower. Yet there is little complaint from
citizens OF the amount Of money dis
bursed. Taxpayers growl at inefficient
service. poor pavements, badly lighted
streets and similar annoyances, but sell
dom is q voice raised to protest against
the expenses of the government.
The complete ignorance Of most per-
Sons In regard to the details of the city
governments affairs Is responsible for
this general silence among the taxpay-
ers. They do not know how their money
is spent. The reports of the various
departments give few clues that are
worth following. If the Mayor and the
Comptroller engage in a dispute ove
the debt mourning capacity OF the city,
- they did this spring. how Ear the
average citizen be expected to find out
where there is waste and the best method
of checking it? Comptroller METZ has
confessed that the bookkeeping In the
Department Of Finance is a mystery to
him. The reports :of thew riouB de-
partments are not e~nlightening, IL they
are intended to be. A clear and concise
statement Of their operations and trans
actions Is never made, =: .aiz

President Pulliam and the Rowdies.
President PULIIAM OF tho National
Baseball League has announced his COM
plete satisfaction with the acts Of Umpire
TOMBSTONE in the dispute between the
New York and Chicago clubs, and his
intention Of supporting the umpire, even
to tho extent Of Withdrawing entirely
from the professional game. Lovers OF
the sport will hope that tho League will
back up its president. There appears
to be no excuse for the conduct Of the
New York team In the game or Monday

New York needs an intelligent and
a scientific system of bookkeeping, by
which clear and Trustworthy records Of

be compiled at frequent intervals. Such
a system would reveal many leaks and
