SPIRITED NURSE GIRLS.
Want Pay Tor Wearing the Badge of
SerVitude.


SerVitude.
To every man whose wife has told him
four times in the last dozen years that she
has had TO pay higher wages to new do
mestics than she was paying to the old
ones, it will be interesting to note how
these elevations in wages are brought
about. Tne process of raising servant
glrls' pay is now in operation, says a
special from New York. There is war
between the mistres6es and the maids
WHOM has not yetlresched the newspa-
pers, but is none the loss tightto the Bit
Ter en0-of higher pay TO the girls.
The mistTesses, not only in New York
and Brooklyn, but in all the cities, have
taken up craze for linen caps on tue
heads OF the nurse girls. In high and
rIch society this has been the case for
years, but among ladies' of what may be
called middle means the line was drawn
at white aprons. Nurses had to have
aprons and could wear what hats they
chose. But now the edict has gone forth
Tor caps.
"You must wear a cap or won't en-
gage YOU" says the mistress--eVen the
mistress of rather small means.
Now the dOmestIcs have no union, but
they meet one another in the Intelligence
Olnces ana Tue easements ana the euect Is
the same as II they are organized. Tae
first revolt was by the Irish maids. who
are rather prouder aud more independent
than the others, and they considered the
caps as badge Of servitude and said they
would not wear them. This last spring
raft Of them was out OF employment on
tuis account, but they are getting places
again and always with the white badges
u their servitude on their mead, worn now
az plumes of victory. Az usual, the ricn
ana the improyident have won by paying
more money.
SIG with it" said the girls.
The advance was given aud the new
rate Of wages was established. The war
70 not over yet, but the end is near. The
poorer employers are paying the higher
igure, tor tbey must nave caps on the
nurses though the heavens fall.

~ INCOMPETENT BODY.

1t is already evident that there is small hope
of any beneficial legislation from this Congress.
More than two months of tue session have
passed aud only one measure of Importance
the Presidential Succession bill-has been sent
TO the President. But there are several bills
pending to remedy the admitted defects in that
measure. The senate has passed the Dakota
bill, an important measure concerning Indian
reservations, the Utah bill, one to fix the
salaries of District Judges the bill to provide
arms for the militia, and many others OF
less value 1t has debated the Electoral Count
bill, and has on It's calendar ready for passage a
number of important measures. Ii Is clear that
the SLOW progress of legislation cannot be
charged to the Senate. OF the bills 1t passed at
the last session 27J of them were never con-
sidered by the House.
The cause of the delay is found in the in
capacity of this representative Democratic
BODY. Last year the rules and Mr.. Randall
were made the scapeguats But that difficulty
has been removed, the appropriation bills have
been distributed, and what is the result Not IL
single important Measure, with the exception
of the Shipping bill introduced by Republican
member, has gone to the Senate. A Pension bill
which will take 100000 annually from the
Treasury has been passed and "A large number
of private claims. Not IA single appropriation
bill has yet been considered, and only one-the
Pension bill, about which there can be no
difference of opinion-has been reported
Under the old rules in the Iast Republican
House, five of the appropri ition bills were re-
ported before the second week of February
Hence it il evident that something more than
IA Change in the rules-proba bly, IA surgical
operation-is needed in the present House
Including Mondays work, there have
been nearly 5000 bills introduced in tho
House, but when we turn 10 the calendars We
fail to find any important measure that has
been reported. At the head of the House
calendar is a bill TO prevent the claim of the
war taxes under the act of August D, 1851,
from being a set-off against States. Iii other
words, the House gives precedence to a measure
designed to compel the Government to pay TO
the States in rebellion large sum of money.
although they are indebted to tho General
Government in a sum aggregatlng nearly
50, SOC, 900. The House has already occupied
considerable time IN considering this unjust
measure. But what shall be said of its action
in setting apart five days for the consideration
of the Filz John Porter bill The incompetency
of the last House was unpreced ented, but the
present body bids iar to eclipse it.

4 POINI NOT VEIL TAKEN

Writing of the PAN Electric scandal, Hdrper'S
IVeekIy after conccding that it is uncommonly
"painful." adds " But the party organs which
airy to turn it to mere party advantage will
"do we'll to remember that the Democratic
"palty has not proposed to nominate Mr.. Gar-
"land for the Presidency"
Well, THE TRIBUNE, which took the initiative
in the exposure of this painful" Garland scan
dal certainly has not endeavored to turn 1t to
mere party advantage. On the contrary, it
has done its best to turn it to the general ad-
vantage by insisting upon standard OF olllcal
propriety which instinctively commends itself
to right-mnded men in both parties.
But does it really occur to The Weekly that
there is point to the remark that the
Democratic party has not proposed to noml-
nate Mr.. Garland for the PreSidencyn9 True,
the Democratic party has made no such pro-
posal. But it has nominated for the Presidency
and it has elected TO the Presidency Mr.. Cleve-
land who retains Mr.. Garland in the position
which he has disgraced.
IL is this point and not the one which The
Weekly makes that possesses practical sgnlh-
cance for Curtis HigYinson, Everett, Sehurz,
Godkin, and the other Mugwump leaders.
They made their fight for Mr.. Cleveland to the
cry "See how truly good he is' They did not
pretend that he was great; they admitted that
he had neither the training nor the experience
that htted a man for the Presidency lt was
his moral excellence which they dVelt upon and
because of which they besOught the honesty
and purity and patriotism OF the United States
to come up to his help. They did not ask for
votes tor him because he belonged to the
Democratic party. but on the theory that he was
so much better and stronger than the party
that he would give it his own tone rather than
take his tone from it. 1t will never do there
fore, now that Mr.. Cleveland cOndones great
public scandal, for such papers as Harpers
Weekly to turn aside from the main issue to re-
mark that the Dersocratic party has never men
toned Garland for the Presidency. Let the
Mugwumps keep their eyes fixed upon Mr..
Cleveland.

peoples money. But when the work was I'm
ished the functions of trustees practically
ceased. We might as well have trustees OF
streets, parks and docks as trustees OF the
Bridge.
What is wanted is a simple, compact, re-
spon>ible Board, which shall manage the
Bridge in the best possible way, with economy
and with efficiency. The Legislature ought not
to delay passing measure providing for this.
Senator Griswold was successful with his brSt
bill. Will he not introduce bill to this effect
and show equal zeal in pushing it forward
Last year the trustees Themselves, led by Mr.
Stranahan, voluntarily prepared the bill end
ing their official existence. OF course nothing
of that sort can be expected from the present
board The only relief possible must come
from Albany. Let the Legislature pass such
measure as we have proposed by such an en-
phatic majority that Governor Hill Will not
venture to interprse his veto.

ABOLISH THE BRIDGE TRUSTEES.


In making the Bridge Extension bill law
without serious delay the Legislature and the
Governor did a good piece of work. The ex-
tension is undoubtedly needed; in fact it
ought to have been built some time ago. But
the lawmakers at Albany must not think that
this is the only legislation needed in Connection
with the Bridge. There is decided impress
sion abroad that the Board of Trustees which
controls the structure has outlived its useful
ness 1t is not only cumbrous and antiquated,
but the men who compose it do not do their
work well. Moreover, at present the Board is
political machine run in the interest of
Boss" Mclaughlin. The Bridge bill passed
last year not only provided for the New-YOrk
extension, but swept the trustees out of exist
ence. THIS measure was heartily approved by
the people of both cities. Unfortunately it
was adopted in bungling shape-Seferences to
the Brooklyn extension, which had been
stricken out, being left, in several sections
md this gave Governor Hill grounds for with
holding his signature. He did not refuse to
sign it, however until after he had visited Nc
Laughlin at his home.
The two salaried positions in the Board of
Trustees, president and secretary, are now held
by McLaughlin's men-a former Mayor of
Brooklyn and defeated candidate for Mayor.
They practically control the patronage of the
Bridge. The other tiustees-hOnest, respect
able citizens, to be sure-generaly find no fault
with what is done by the executive committee,
but quietly and without protest sanction its
proceedings. While the BrIdge was under way
it was proper that the handling of over
million dollars year should not be left 10 a
small body OF men. The Board of Trustees
thep had a reason for existence Its members

was received then with great favor 1t Is charming
