RTNNIAN PARTLES.

The latest reports of elections of actual dele
gates to the Russian Douma sufficiently
full TO indicate pretty clearly the general com
position of that body There will apparently be
Il strong plurality. and possibly bare majority,
Of those who are somewhat vaguely termed Con
servatveS a word which covers a multitude of
shades and grades while less than one-tbird
will be ranged under the Moderate IabeI-an-
other word of elastic application. With the
ModerateS are grouped in current dispatches
the Octobrists, "a conjunction which we cannot
regard as altogether fitting Indeed the whole
classification of parties leaves much to be de
sired for the sake of perspicuity and accuracy.
mere were made recently some strenuous and
probably wei meant efforts TO form a com
promise and Il coalition between the OctObrsts
and the Constitutional Democrats, who are in
cluded under the general head of Moderates but
they came to nothing chiefly, it would appear.
because of the unwilngness of the Octobrists
to enter into such an arrangement At the
present time. therefore. those two parties. in
stead of being grouped together, are separate
and To Il large extent antagonstc. Indeed, the
Octobrsts are much more likely to incline tow
ard the Conservative side and to cooperate
with the various reactionary elements of the
Conservative plurality in support of the bu-
reauoratic government. In that case the Con-
serVauve plurality viii probably be swelled TO
a decided majority
That majority, or indeed the plurality already
assured, must not, however, be regarded as CO.
herent and homogeneous and as forming a
party which may safely he depended upon. 1t
consists, in fact. Of number of factions, among
which there are some ccntrpctal but also some
centrifugal forces. Their chief bond of union is
their common dislike Of the constitutional sys-
tenn Whether that Will prove sufficiently strong
to hold them together for any considerable time
and for any important work is decidedly prob
leuatic. If not, the absence of either Il Con
Srrvatve or Il Liberal bloc will leave the DOuma
nj the mercy of Il multiplicity OF jarring fac
tions and viii send toward the vanishing point
tine chances of its achieving any legislation of
first class Importance. Such experiences may
be necessary features Of the political educa-
ton OF the nation, but il is difficult to avoid
wondering through how many more Doumas the
process will have to be prolonged before it is
sufficiently complete to permit the election of
a truly representative and practically efficient
body

THE 1908 RVDGFT

The increases in the municipal budget in the
last two years have been greatly in excess of
the growth Of the city's population or wealth.
For 1906 the municipal expenditures were S116.-
100000 For 1907 they were S13OO0OOOO. For
1908 they are TO reach Il total of $143. 100000
1t is plain enough why the Board of Estimate
and Apportionment has made determined efforts
TO repel demands-many of them worthy
enough on theoretical grounds-for increased
allowances. The city's annual interest charge
has increased by S3.776,OOO in a single year and
is now as great as that of the national go-ern-
ment. Clearly it is time TO think of retrench-
ment and TO set about moderating the present
tendency toward overrapid and overcostly ex-
tensions Of the city's activities
1t would not be fair TO put the Mayor and
the Board of Estimate and ApportiOnment all
the blame for the recent disproportionate infa-
ton Of the city'S expense account. The impulse
Of the moment is strong toward the enlarge
ment of municipal functions and the disburse-
ment of public moneys with lavish hand The
city administration cannot protect itself against
pressure OF that sort exerted in the state Legis-
Iature, and Mayor Mcclellan points out that an
increase Of S10,7580 600 in the 1905 budget is due
TO mandatory provisions in the charter or TO
statutes passed at Albany. 1t may be that most
of our increasing expenditure is chargeable to
legislation considered necessary for the city's
development But the fact that such develop
ment must be provided for under any conditions
makes it even more urgent TO scrutinize the
ordinary routine expenditures of the city and
eliminate from them the factor of maladminis-
tration and waste.
The Mayor has sensibly endeavored to intro
duce some order into our local system of appro-
prlations. He congratulates the city that he
has at last succeeded In securing to some ex-
tent a segregation of department accounts He
hopes in time to compel the submission of de-
tailed estimates I'm every line of administration
and TO abolish those blind or lump appropria-
tons which In the past have served TO cover
outlays more for party or individual purposes
than for the public good. A thorough reorgani-
zat1on Of the city government is needed to do
away with conflicts of jurisdiction and author
fly. duplication Of effort and confusion Of ac-
counts. Certainly several millions could be
saved annually If the standards of administra-
ton were raised, sinecures abolished, inspection
ssSdtuted which would inspect, a too tender

with whom his conscience and judgment incline

these latter, not even when they are in the right
1t is better TO be independent and alone than to

Such is the genial gospel of civic sweetness and

have been transplanted to the adjoining city Of
Newark. 1t is amusing enough to laugh at in
the absence Of Josephus Mller's compendium of
