i
If there is any solution possible of the great
economical problem of the relations of capt. al
and labor, it ought to be discovered during
the present campaign III OHIO. For that Is the
engrOssing theme, and all the politicians and
statesmen, stump orators and newspaper writ
ers are searching for it with lighted candles
and a great noise. The public man who has
not a theory with regard to it-a theory that
differs from all others and in which he has the
most absolute cOntidence-is behind the times.
Nowhere in the country do the politicians
grapple with the subject of political economy
with the desperate hug and the determination
to throw it and dispose OF 1t for all future
time, as they do in Ohio. And since Pennsyl-
vania changed her day of election and fell
ont of the line OF October States" leaving
Ohio chief of the States which lead off III the
Fall elections, there seems to have fallen upon
her leaders an increased sense of responsibility,
so that they feel called upOn 10 'Olnt the way
in the settlement of all important questions,
especially those of the currency and political
economy. They are quite certain that the eyes
of the whole country are on them at this par
ticular iuncture, and the consequence is un-
usual intellectual activity and superabun-
dance of theories.
Here is Judge West, the Republican candidate
for Governor with plan for dividing profits
between capital and labor. Senator Sherman
proposes Congressional supervision of railroads,
which in the end must come TO the possession
of the roads by the Government. Stanley
Matthews has-well we have not heard from
Mr.. Matthews for fOrty-eight hours, and
are not prepared to say what his pres
ent plan Is. Then there's Mr.. George
II. PendletOn, with a political economy
of his own and Mr.. Ewing with another ;
Gel Samuel Cary with a system entirely
unique and herds of philosophers all over the
State, each with plan, which, if people could
be brought to agree to it, would put an end
to trouble and distress, and set business hum
ming and make the whole world happy. Incl
dentally, and only incidentally of course, each
plan would put its author and supporters in
Office, where they could superintend the expert
ments and draw regular pay. Out of
such a multitude of devices, there must
be one, perhaps several, that would effect
the purpose. Let Us hope so at least, and be
very thankful to Ohio craftsmanship for its
abundant contributions TO the solution Of the
difficulty, and TO the return Of prosperity. If
after all we fail to find our royal road ont of
depression and debt and distress, and are com
PEELED to drag along by the old slow way of
economy and sacrifice and prudence. 10 con-
dition of financial health, it will not, at least
be the fault Of Ohio, whose public men are
now eXhausting the resources of statesmanship
in their efforts to discover some easier way.
In the matter of the currency and finance,
ma oil Enoxy of course what the difieulfy is
and what the ingenuity of Ohio statesmen is

trouble in a nutshell Very few, to be sure
will confess openly that they favor reputation
of the debt: but the politicians who think the
people are not unwill ng to proft by ushoh-

people with the plain and honest statement
that we owe money and must make sacrilces

defray. To the honor of humanity, however,
it would seem to be generally admitted that
the ravages of death must be stayed, ii possible,
no matter how enormous the necessary ex-
penditure may prove to be. The estimate Is,
that at least e2O OOO, 900 ($1OO, 900, ,0OO) must
be spent if food is to be bought and carried
to the famine districts. debt must be created
so that the famine will be felt alike by the
rich and the poor. Such being the prospect
it is not surprising to find men III an
utterly disheartened mood, and arguing that
the famine is dispensation OF Providence
which it is impossible to arrest-a calamity
which must be philosOphically endured. IL Is
not probable that merely economical ideas
will be allowed to check any reasonable effort
to diminish the mortality but we can under
stand how terrible must be the trouble when
Christian men can thus calmly speculate upon
its invincibility.
England acquired her great Indian Empire
of her own choice. Her best excuse for her
conquest has always been that she could rule
India more wisely than the native potentates,
and make its almost countless people happier
than they were under the old dynasties. She
has assumed an enormous responsibility-it
must, at any cost, be met literally and cour-
ageOusly. Something must be left to Proyl-
dence but the work which human hands can
do must be bravely undertaken. The main
question is: How are future scarcities to be
avoided? Cannot there be an improved cult

an improved economy which will be safe

famines

Mr.. Barney DOnahue having satisfied the
offended dignity of the Court, will go free this
evening. unless by chance it should occur to
somebody that it would be a good idea to have
him arrested and punished for crimes rather
more serious than contempt of Court. 1t VIII
doubtless be satisfactory to the suffering la
borers whom he led along the road to starya-
ton and who are now lamentlng the
loss of their situations, to know that he
has borne his martyrdom with becoming
dignity. He has lived well in Jail, paying his
board like a gentleman and faring like the
keepers and when he steps out it will be to
enter upon a most geDtemanly occupation.
He is going to start a paper. Circumstances
over which he has just now no control forbid
his coupling cars any longer " although sald
he, 81 love my profession dearly" but as edi-
tor of The STRIKER he will still be il a
position to vindicate the natural right
of every gentleman who works with his
hands to knock the head off every
other gentleman who does not agree with
him about the propriety of accepting Il
certain rate of wages. 1t may be objected
that in changing the coupling bolt for the pen
Mr.. Donahue takes himself ont of the ranks
of the honest sons of toll, and becomes the
bloated minion of despotism but perhaps the
writing of his paper will only be manual labor
after all

Sage is indeed kind enough to promise
that tho advance shall be only :" rea-
"sonable,n neither company processing TO

ly the views of the public and the companies
as to what may be reasonable and fair are not

for it is gradually becoming irresistible, as the
demand for cheap postage was some years ago.

In their report upon the weighers and gaugers'
the New FORK Custom House Commission justl-
fy all the serious charges that have been
brought against that branch of the service
Ten men were employed where four could do
the work, and in numerous instances the work
was not done at all, the weights furnished by
importers being merely copied without re-
weighing. The men who were thus paid Tor
idleness or half done work received plunder
under the name of pay, rs recompense
for political services. The Commission pro-
nose a wholesale reform to begin with the
dismissal of all the present force of weighers.
The new ones are to be fewer in number;
superfluous officials among the weighers ana
gaugers are to be dispensed with; returns OF
the work done are to be furnished always
within forty eight hours Our merchants Will
be even more pleased than the public at large
by these improvements. No sane man, alter
reading the report of the Commission, Will
doubt that reform was needed in our Custom
House.

There is current belief among New-fork-
ers who pride themselves on knowing nothing
about Brooklyn, that that City is now enjoying
the advantages of rapid transit. The fact is
that the locomotives and dummies on
Atlantic-ave only come down to Flat
bush-ave., which is about like the "rapid
"transit" in this city which is furnished
on Fourth-ave.; it leaves off just where 1t is
most needed. Perhaps the new steam street
ears, which were put on the Third-ave. OF
Brooklyn yesterday, may help little
towards overcoming the present delay
in reaching the ferries, as the machines
are trife faster than the hOrse-carS but to
accomplish even this there is yet n gap to be
filed at tie Flatbush-ave. terminus. The alb
surd feature of the case is that there is now eX-
isting tunnel under the greater part of Allan
tic-aye. between Flatbush-ave. and the ferry.
It's use would solve the problem of rapid tran
sit in Brooklyn at orce. But the tunnel is
barred by legal restrictions, and 1t has been
closed for score of years.

i case which will be of great interest to
homeopathic physicians is on trial in this city.
The plaintiff claims that her health has been
impaired by an overdose of atrOpine, the drug
pist having made a mistake. The reply is that
the medicine was in accordance with the pre-
scription which called for the Z" second tritu-
"ration.- II is alleged by the druggist
that this phrase may be understood to mean
not the thousandth but the tenth OF grain of
the virulent drug. There is certainly grave
danger in the practice of homeopathic drug
gists. if there is always such an open question
in the prescriptions they prepare.
Excellent work is done under the manage
ment of our Board of Health. and its eflicIen-
CIV this Summer is proved by a remarkable
diminution in the city's mortality. During
the twelve weeks past, the deaths in this city
have been 1.2O5 fewer than IN the cOrIes-
bonding period last year-a reduction of ff-
teen per cent. This surprising result has been
principally brought about by the plan of send
ing visiting physicians TO the homes Of
the poor. More than 10000 visits to the
families of the laboring classes have been
made under this system. 1t is pleasant TO
learn that the physicians received hearty
cooperation in their work from st. Johns
Guild, and also from several druggists whose
names are deserving OF honor.
The great telegraph pool has been made on
the precise plan described by THE TRIBUNE
two days ago, and the public have now no
protection against high tolls except in the
mercy and consideration of the managers.
That rates are to go up under the new
arrangement is a matter of course, and the cff-
GERS have no hesitation in saying that they
shall put them up right away. MIR. Russell
