that there are so many of them already that
they are emigrating to Australia. Every sug-
gestOn fares badly in this curious controversy
The only poirt on which the correspondents are
of one mind is that the English middle-class
does not know what to do with its boys.
II may be urged that if a similar discussion
were opened IN the columns OF a New lorN
journal, it would be ascertained that thete are
many American fathers who do not know whaJ
TO do with their boys. We can readily believe
this; and also that there are even moro
American boys who do not know what to do
with themselves and are not wholly contented
with their prospects in life. There is u tend
ency here as in England to disparage euuca-
tional methods and to advocate system ol
trade apprenticeship fOrboYs, even oil the hisn-
est social grade 1t is often urged that the COL
leges spoil four excellent farmers ana mer-
chants for every lawyer or clergyman OF genu
inc ability whom they prepare for successful
professional life. Education cannot transform
mediocrity into genius in America any more
Than it can in England; aud while 1t has COM
pcnsating advantages, it does not tend to make
unsuccessful men contented with their lot
But whilo the future of the American boy is
often matter of grave uncertainty to himself
and to his family, lie will succeed here, II he
can succeed anywhere. If lac does not succeed
here, it will be because no does not have the
wight stuff in him. The fault will lie with HIM
SELF and not, as in England, with the times ana
the social an economic conditions

Mr.. Stanley asks for British help in Africa,
though he did not go out as a British subject
nor as the representative of any British assocIa-
ton or interest. An American citizen, he
would have more reason to ask COR American in
tcryention, if he had any rights in the eye of
international law. But even then the United
States would probably decline to interfere No
doubt Great Britain will also refuse to inter-
ycne, not because that nation shrlnks from an

wHAr TO no UIrH THE BoYS.


One of the London journals has been opening
it, columns day after day to popular discus
sion Of one of the most pcrpcxing problems of
family life. This relates to the future of Eng
lish boys. Scores of letters have been received
from practical fathers, anxious widows, and
struggling Young men in response to tho in
ouiry "What shall we do with our boys y
Those taking part III this interesting discussion
,,rec ON culy one point: namely, the difficulty
nj finding opcnings i'm professional or mercan
turlirr. or even Of srculing employment for
the sons of the middle class The opinion most
commonly expressed is that fathers Of that
class-merchauts, lawyers aud tradesmen-
make the mistake Of educating their sons to
higher level OF pursuits than they ought, and
neglect to provide for the contingency of medi-
ocri.y by appreut.cing them to mechanical call
ipcs of Il lower social grade There ire many,
however, who maintain that the artisans are
mainly at fault i'm Overwhelming their BOYS and
in this way rendering them discontented with
their own rank in society. 1t is urged that
there would be room enough for the boys of
the middle class, if the sons Of working people
were not encouraged to rise above their station
ana push their way into clcrkshps and profess
siona vacancies. The fact, moreover, that
skilled lahoTcrs are constantly cmigrajing in
large numbers is adduccd as a convincing
proof that the mechanical trades are already
Jvercrowded and that the sons OF the middle
class will not gain any material advantage by 4

TIE STRIKE or GLASS. WORKERS
The glass-vorkers of Pittsburg have now
bpen on strike for three weeks, and there is no
indication that the contest is near an end. IL
does not often happen that the public is in ro-
silion TO Judge whether employers or employed
have the most reason on their side IN these con-
trOversies. There can be no greater Oluuder
than to assume that in every struggle about
wages the workmen ought to succeed, except
to assume that in every such struggle the
workmcn ought to be defeated. Statistics
prove that in n large proportion OF eases the
wor kmen demand what the stare OF the market
does not Justify them in asking, and therefore
get defeated. But it is none the less true that
employers do at times stubbornly resist de-
mands which the state Of the labor and other
markets does Justify, and which they arc hnallY
comucllrd to grant. Nor can it be safely salu
that i'm these contests victory invariably falls
70 those who deserve it. Moro than once, IN
this and other countries, ruin has been brought
upou a branch of industry, and great suffering
upon Thousands of workers, wives aud children,
h, the success of the workers in demanding
,,orr than thu business could really afford to
pay.
At this time. however, it is not difficult to see
that the balance of probability is against the
strikers, both ~ to the justice of their demands
and a to tho result. Business in almost all de-
uarfmcnts has lceu depressed aud dull for
wear or more. The inability Of tho people to
consume rs largely ~ they formerly did OF
were expected to has been demonstrated by m
accumulation Of unsold stocks. All hope that
the end of this period Of depression may be

Acareful inquiry into the dynamite outrage
at Pawling Duchess County, n. Y, reveals
more shocking crime than at first glance APP
peared. 1t will probably prove to 10
murder, for GOumer, who was injured by the
explosion of the projectie which was intended
for Mrs. Beach, can hardly recover The most
discouraging feature of the affair is the mac
tivity of the village and county authorities.
They appear TO DC actually afraid to take steps
to punish the gang of thieves who probably
are guilty of this last dastardly crime, and
certainly have been guilty Of enough other
crimes to send them to State Prison for score
of years. The Ouly person, apparently who
has dared to try TO bring them to justice Is
the woman whose life some one has just tired
to take. These things should not be. Scat
tered all through Duchess County are many
wealthy men, gentlemen farmers, who are
vitality interested in having law and order
prevail throughout their community. They
could easily lid the county Of this organized
band of cattle thieves if they only would take
the matter in hand Their timc money and
ability could not be better employed.

from the crops is generally favorable, except
as to cotton and the extent of the injury to that
crop is not yet definitely ascertained. The re-
ceipts of grain at Western points, with the aus.
appointing scantiness of the demand from
abroad, have thus far defeated all efforts to
bring about a substantial upward movement IN
prices, though there are many who still labor
and hope for such change. The week dld
not witness very violent fluctuations, and 1t may
perhaps be most correctly described as week OF
sluggish and waiting markets. The exchanges
were not very large, sthl. falling about
$500, 900, 900, or over 33 per cent, behind those
of the corresponding week last year. The
quarterly report of failures, though decidedly
tue reverse of cheering, caused no surprise,
because the recollection of numerous and
heavy failures here and in New-England was
fresh, and had prepared everybody for an I'M
favorable report. 1t is still the prevalent feel
ing that business is generally sound, and will
be the safer and more healthy for the wedding
out to which several branches have been sub
.jected.
The stock market might have been expected
TO take new departure last week on account
of the decision in the Western UEiOn case, and
the formation of strong combination to sus-
tain some of the stocks that had been most de-
pressed. The Western Union decision, how
evpr was used with some success to disturb
confidence reports of unsatisfactory relations
between the trunk lines and also between the
coal companies had some influence; and the
published statements regarding the Northern
Pacific and Oregon securities were too numer-
Gus and conflicting to be very potent An
upward movement was begun during the
latter half Of the week, but it was embarrassed
by unusually large sales of Lackawanna and
other coal stocks, which were attributed to dis
agreement between Mr.. Gowep and others
about prices demanded for coal. 1t is now
thought that Republican victory in Ohio may
give occasion for more vigorous and success
full effort. But it remains fact that the pub
lie as yet has very little to do with the market.

making scientific observations for two years at
Point Barrow, Alaska, have reached San Fran
cisco in safety. This is the second of the thir-
teen parties engaged in the work OF Polar Oh
sersation which has returned. The frat to get
back was the Austrian band, from Jan Mayen
Island, which reported that all the work laid
out for that station had been accomplished.
Lieutenant Ray tcegraphs that his party has
been equally successful. The Spitzbcrgen OBJ

There are two sides to every question, and
We take pleasure this morning III presenting
TO our readers the views Of the Rev. Dr..
James NJ. King, of the Eighteenth Street
Church. concerning the progress and strength
of Mcthodism in New York. They differ de-
cidedly from the somewhat depressing opinions
expressed in The TRIDUNE Of two weeks ago
yesterday by the Rev. James II. hghtbourn'
also well-known Methodist clergyman Dr.
King asserts that his denomination is advanc-
iog in numbers, wealth and strength in pro-
portion as the city is advancing, and that 1t is
keeping pace with the expansion OF other
religious bodies in York. lie points out
also. other encouraging features Of Methodist
work and progress in this ueghborhood. DR..
Kings views will be read with satisfaction by
All good people. Probably no one will be more
pleased to be convinced Of their correctness
than the Rev. Mr.. Lightbourn himself.

Apparently the Controllers Office ana tne
Department of Public Works are not the only
departments of the municipal government
whose accounts and business methods need
reforming The Department of Parks now
comes to the front as delinquent. 1t seems
that one of the proprietors of the old restau-
rant at Mount St. Vincent, in Central Park
succeeded before his death in swindlmg the
city out of $4,000. Details of the story will
be found in our local columns and, to put 1t
mildly they convict the Commissioners OF
peglecting to watch the cty's interests care
fully. AS is usual now in revelations of this
kind it appears that the irregularities have
been under investigation by the Commissioners
of Accounts for months; as usual, also, the In
vcstigation is not finished.

Attention was called in THE TRIBUNE yes"
terday to the extremely unsatisfactory condl-
ton of the divorce laws, not only OF New
York but of the whole country, and to the
need of reformatory legislation in the interests
of morality and decency. The facts and
figures contained in the article fully sustained
the differences drawn but if further proof OF
the existence of the evils described were
needed, il could be found in dispatch from
Chicago published elsewhere in this impression
In that city on Saturday sixty-six divorce
cases were on trial in the courts. 1t IS not
stated how many DEGREES were granted; but
that sixty-six cases should be on the court
calendar for one day, even in Chicago, Is
striLino confirmation of all that has been said
against the iniquity of easy divorce.
