There is a popular idea, frequently
expressed by people who are content
to take information second hand, that
the county government is economical
aad, as compared to tbe city govern
ment, incorruptible. On examina
tion these statements are not borne
eat by the facta in the case. First as
to the majority of the city council.
It is composed of men of character,

have at times been extravagant aad
are not samciently impressed with
the necessity of lowering the tax rate
aad of making the annual expenees
correspond with the income. But it

manent water station established
there in the face of an opposition
which induced tbe mayor to order the
well plugged, that tbe test might fail
to show signs of abundant water, and
induced the mayor to order the engin-
eer, who reported in favor of the well,
discharged. Then Mr. Thompson
failed to induce the council to vote
for his pumping proposition. In a
summary of what the city owes the
present council, it must not he for-
gotten that it stood firm in the pre-
ence of blandishments and promises
which have been effectual with other
councils. To be sure there are mem-
bers of this council who are recog-
nised as tools of Mr. Thompson but
the majority are free men who could
not be induced to ratify another con-
tract for electric lights, such as tbe
city made with the gas company three
years ago. Now as to tbe county
commissioners. Tbe reports of their
meetings are not published in tbe
papers. An examination oitneir ad-
ministration of county affairs docs not
indicate that it is conducted with un
usual economy or purity. It is doubt-
iul, to say the best, what tbe result
would be if Mr. Thompson were to
make tbe three county commissioners
a proposition, with the usual decora-
tioiis, to award him a profitable five or
six year contract. Three men are
easier to convince than fourteen, and
although the latter may consume ral-
uable time in bickering about the
there has been no well founded aeta
aattoa ef corruption made against it.

tbe Thompson influence has been

the second
is a suspicion that the
newspaper agitation for a smaller and
more "compact" and "unanimous"
council has been encouraged by Mr.
Thompson, who is looking forward to
the expiration of the present lighting
contract.
There is, by no means, an unanim-
ity of opinion in regard to reducing
the number of counciimen. The dread
of ring control, which menaces every
city in this country, and the exnerl.
ence of cities entirely controlled by
aringeneuld give us pause before we
adopt a form of municipal government
which would make it easier for the
ring to get control of the city and
simplify discipline by the local Croker
in command. The water problem is
solving itself. In a few years tbe
prospects are that far from having a
deficit in that department, it will be
a source or profit. With tbe city
lighting in control of the city the
annual deficit will begin to be re
duced. There is no' reason to suppose
that the composition of the council
will be changed in quality before tbe
next council ta elected. The taxnav-
ers have been discipline-! too severely
tbe last three years to countenance
any measure which would increase
the dangers of ring rule There are
doubtless changes which can be made
ia the charter of benefit but the more
we contemplate the seclusion of the
county commiaaioners, tbe more un
certain tbe benefits of such a change
become. It hi urged that tbe city can
