Has Done its Deadly Work.
The tenderly worded appeal which
comes from the Reform Club in Fifth
avenue for funds with which to com-
plete the success of tariff reform has
not yet moved the masses, so far as '
we have been able to iniormourselves.
It is announced as a guarantee of good
faith that checks made payable to the
order of Charles S. Fairchild will be
properly receipted for, but even this
has not induced the peeple to untie
their purse strings. It is just possible
that tariff reform has already put the
people into financial straits where they
could not respond to this touching ap-
peal even if they wanted to.

Municipal Reform.
Improved and honest muncipal ad;
ministration is a topic which is attract-
ing considerable attention from the
reform clement. That muncipal affairs
are, generally speaking, dishonestly
and inefficiently managed is too often
proven.
Pope long ago remarked : “That’s
best that is administered best,” and
therein lies-the whole secret. To ex-
pect honesty and efficiency from pro-
fessional municipal office seekers and
office holders, 9. class, who in most
instances, have failed to get on in the
world in any reputable calling, is _to
expect too much.
7 Until successful men in the various
ceilings of life are willing, not only to
bear the burdens of office holding, but
also to perform their official duties
with a zest equal to that with which
they advance their own private inter-
ests, we may look in vain for the mun-
cipal millennium. Again, office hold-
ers are subject to severe, and in many
cases unmerited criticisms; no matter
how well they perform their duties,
that is never mentioned, but every
oversight or mistake is held up to the
world, and the crank and the fault
finder exploit their shortcomings
throughout the land. Dread of these
unreasonable criticisms and the cer-
tainty that no credit will be given for
ofilcial efficiency, deter many useful
citizens from taking office, and the
nominations go to those who either
want them, or who are callous to criti-
cism, two traits too often found in the
same individual. There can be no per-
manent and genuine muncipal reform
until competent and patriotic citizens
are willing to give to the municipality
a share of their time and talents, and
until they are willing to be criticised
by a lot of half informed cranks.
Brooklyn having been wrested from
the hands of a terribly bad gang of
municipal pirates, is just now being
watched by the friends of reform.
Mayor Schieren, while not ignoring his
party, seems to have ignored the “pro-
fessional.” For Commissioner of Pub-
lic Works he has appointed a Mr.
White who appears to be admirably
equipped for the place. Mr. White
seems to be willing to take the office,
and he seems moreover, utterly oblivi-
ous to abuse or criticism. The appointee
brings to his task well matured ideas
founded on close observation and prac-
tical experience, and when such a man
is willing to accept office and perform
the duties thereof with intelligence
and zeal, the problem of municipal re-
form is solved. The reformers may
talk about the beautiful and the good,
theysmay draft model charters, they
may “view with alarm” the methods
of the Tammanyites and their Brook-
lyn congeners, they may form Good
Government Clubs by the score, but
unless able and honest men will con-
sent to actually operate the municipal
machinery we shall wait until the crack
of doom for successful municipal re-
form.
The average politician is rarely a su-
perior man, but he is cunning, and by
' the liberal use of demagogic common-
places he imposes upon the mob who
proceed to vote him into a fat office.
The reformers are ready ,to pass reso-
_ lotions condemning municipal dishon-
esty, but not a soul of them could be
induced to run for alderman or any
other office where their motives and
talents would be useful; some of them
have been: convicted of not voting at
all. No great object is attained with-
out some effort and inconvenience.
Had our Revolutionary sires contented
themselves with signing the Declara-
tion of Independence" We might be
British subjects to-day.
It is a sad confession and a serious
reflection on the American people, but
our cities will continue to be fleeced
unless good men will consent to hold
offices and fill them in every sense of
the word, or else property and decency
will have to seek shelter behind some
un—Amcrican scheme of city govern-
ment, similar perhaps to that which
prevails at Washington, D. C., where
Congress in its aboundmg mercy, if
not wisdom, demolished mayor, alder-
man and the other gewgaws of city
government and placed in their stead .a
Triumvir Commission which exercises
complete administrative functions, with-
out the aid or advice of any grog shop
proprietors or ward boss.

The Millionaire Publisher and Yacht Own—
cr Succumbs to an Operation.
NEWYORK, Feb. iii—Norman L. Mun-
ro, the publisher and owner of the fast
steam yachts N orwood and Vamoose, died
last evening at the Hoffman House from
the effects of an operation for appendicitis
performed on Friday afternoon by Drs.
Robert Abbe and Robert F. \Veir. '
Mr. Munro was born in 1844 at Mill-
brook, Pictou county, N ova Scotia. His
father was a farmer, and he was brought
up on the farm. He left the farm when he
was 25 years old and came to this city. He
got work in a publishing house and set
himself steadily to the business of master-
ing :the details and of savifi money to
make a start with. The first number of
the New York Family Story Paper went to
press on Black Friday in September, 1873.
About seven years ago he bought the
Mary Anderson place on Cedar avenue,
Long Branch, and about the same time he
became interested in the production of fast
steam yachts.
Among the fast boats he owned were the
Now Then and the Say ‘Nhen. In 1890 he
had the Norwood built. Mr. Munro assert-
ed that she could maintain a speed of 30
miles an hour, and he raced her against
the fast Sandy Hook boat Monmouth. She
beat that big boat hands down.
\Vhether the Norwood was the fastest
boat in our waters has never been demon-
strated. ‘V. R. Hearst claimed the title
for his boat Vamoose, and the owners of
the Yankee Doodle were also claimants. for
the honor. Various attempts were nn-le
to bring these boats into races, but ‘lny
failed. Mr. Munro afterward bum-ht Tile
Vamoose.
Mr. Munro’s fortune is est? outed at
from $3,000,000 to $5,000,002 “3 71in a year
he refused an ofier of $1,01X).*‘.001or his pub-
lications and publishing house. He held
large real estate investments in New York
and Brooklyn, besides his Long Branch
property.
Mr. Munro was married in 1877 to Miss
Harriet Hume of Brooklyn.
TRACY DEFENDS WIMAN.
- The General Says That the Accused Man
Has Committed No Crime.
NEW YORK, Feb. 26.—The following let-
ter in relation to the charges against Eras-
tus \Viman is sent out by his counsel, Gen-
eral Benjamin F. Tracy, ear-secretary ol
the navy, in vindication of that gentleman:
I have seen for the first time this morning
the indictments against Mr. “'iman and haw
learned the history of the one and the fact:
upon which the indictments are founded. I
am entirely satisfied after such examination
that Mr. \Viman has committed no crime. and
unless I am greatly misinformed the trial will
develop a state of facts which will show that
Mr. VVimau is not only not a. criminal, but that
he has done nothing that can seriously reflect
upon his honor or integrityasa man. '
I am not in the habit of trying my cases in
the newspapers, but in view of the extent to
which this course has been taken by Mr. Wi-
man's enemies and certain of his supposed
friends I think it onlyjust to him that I should
make this statement. BENJAMIN TRACY.

Miss Pollard is now 31 years old, having
