1t is inexact to speak of it as work OF all since
the work is all vet to be DONE There was
slight symptom of an advance yesterday ouO
people familiar with the slowness WIN "nion
causes drag themselves through our courts
will derive small encouragement from the s'a'o-
ment that the Corporation Counsei mas III oo-
half of the city, begun an action against al,
electric light company to have its poles ana
wires declared a public nuisance. Inc scht-
ment Of the community long ago declared them
q ,rhl;c nuisance. Let us hope that the Cor
poration Counsel will not stop at this stage.
Yet we are prepared to see the suit stuboorniy
contested at every step, with appeals stays,
mandamuses, injunctions, and so FORTH al
lbitum.
The remarks made yesterday by Senator
Sherman on Senator Reagan's bill to prevent
the combinations known as Trusts show that
he has studied the question with care, and IS
prepared to discuss it Understandings
question arose as to which committee the bill
should be referred to. Mr.. Sherman said that
the Finance Committee was the proper body
To consider it, since Trusts could only be dealt
with, if at all, in a revenue measure. As to
the right of the General Government to reg
ulate them there was doubt, especially in such
a case as the Standard Oil Trust which is not
subject to Federal taxation. The Sugar Trust
Mr. Sherman thought, could be dealt with,
since the tariff on sugar enables the Trust TO
exist The bill was referred to the Committee
on Finance 1t contains a comprehensive
definition Of the word trust" and provides
as a penalty for joining such a combination a
fine ranging from 81 900 to $4,000 and i'm
prsonment, in the discretion of the court, from
one to five years

II POINT IN LEGISLA1IVE NOMINATIONS.
It will not be many weeks before nomina-
tons for the Legislature will begin, and it is
not too early to say word about them. we
are moved to do this especially by the rumors
coming to us that some of the small band OF
Republican members who were conspicuous in
opposing the High-License bill last spring are
Boosting that their denomination is assured
Chief among these is BankSon T. Morgan, who
represents one of the strongest High-License
districts in the State-thc With of New York
and who was bitter and persistent in his
efforts to defeat the bill. 1t may be a serious
misfortune if the inactivity Of the better class
of Republicans permits Mr.. Morgan to capture
a denomination by the aid Of the quor-dcal-
erS. The High-License sentiment is so pro-
nounced in his district that there is every rea-
son to believe a large number Of Republicans
would refuse to vote for him, and the district
might be lost.
As every reader Of THE TRIBUNE knows,
this paper is not in the business Of debating
nominations for Office, and does not try to play
newspaper boss But we should fall short OF
our duty if we failed to remind the constit-
uents of Messrs. Emery and Gallagher, OF Erie !;
Goerss, of Niagara; Morgan, of Newly ork !;
Reitz, of Kings. and NJ a. Smith, Of Sullivan
that these men refused to abide by the decision
of the party in favor Of the High-License BILL
threw every obstacle in its way, and barely
failed in the effort to defeat it. If they had
had their way, the party would have been
placed in the humiliating position of attempt
ing policy it could not carry out, and it would
have lost the credit Of passing an important
and salutary bill. There arc certainly good
men in all these districts, who will stand by
the Republican party when it needs them as
well as when it does not. We want men at
Albany who will act with the Republican narty,
and not against it-men who are loyal to its
principles and who do not take their orders
from an outside and hostile organization.

country whose employments are differently
designated in the two countries may be get
ting relatively lower wages here. 10 meet
that doubt it is only necessary to add together
the wages of all classes employed in Great
Britain and in this country. Then the aver
age of all wages officially reported in this in
dustry, 2I7 hands at 81 30 IA weekly, is
found to be in Great Britain So % per week,
while in the United States the average for all
las before excluding the four concerns which
employ coored or Chinese labor, is found to
be So so per week. Thus the difference in
favor of American labor is 6S.6 per cent. Yet
it is falsely asserted that this difference is
more than covered by the 10 per cent duty Of
the Mills bill.

The average for all these classes for the
United States is So 20 per week, and for Great
Britain 81 95 per week; difference in favor Of
American labor 67.3 per cent. This is now
met by duties averaging 81 per cent last year;
the Mills bill would reduce the duties to 0
per cent, reduction of two-ffths giving for
eign manufacturers that much advantage. Yet
it is falsely claimed that tho bill more than
covers the difference in wages" between this
country and England. 1t will be seen, too.
how easy IL is to misrepresent the difference
in wages by comparing only one or two OF the
establishments in this country, where the low
est wages are paid, and yet that not one can
be found among the establishments in many
States, in which wages are IA low as they are
in Great Britain. And it is also to be re-
membered that this country has TO compete,
not with Great Britain only or mainly, but
also with Germany and France, where wages
are still lower.

II was q big crowd that went TO the Polo
Grounds yesterday to see New York beat Chi
cago; but that isn't what was seen. For some
reason the home players were unable to hit
the Chicago pitcher and the visitors won by
to 2. 1t was an interesting game, but the
play was not of the highest order The con-
test to-day will attract many spectators Let
the New-York players see to it that the people
are not disappointed again.
An order was issued by the President yester-
day placing Major-G General Schofeld in com
mand of the Army. General Schoteld Will
have his headquarters in Washington he will
continue to have command Of the Division OF
the Atlantic. No other changes have been an
nounced. II seems probable that General
Schofeld's rank will remain unaltered. At
least there is no reason that compels the re-
viyal of the grade of Lieutenant-G eneral, and
when General Sherman's title lapses the grade
of Major-General will become the highest in
the Army.

assembled at every stopping-pa were pro-
portionately larger. Unfortunately, MIR. Blaine
found that his speech making on Monday had
subjected his voice to a severe strain, and In
most of the cities where he paused yesterday
he confined himself to the briefest possible
expression of his heartfelt thanks.
