price allowed for old school books when
taken in exchange for new. This fact alone
will make the present scbool-book law un-

The failure Of the Brooklyn street car strike
Is explained by the master workman Of the
Knights Of Labor in that city as due to ''lack of
money, superauous police clubs, and fine
weather" II is always well for both sides of a
strike and for the public generally to study the
elements Of success or failure in such labor
protest as that just closed. The issue was prac-
tically the recognition of the Knights of Labor.
To enforce it the strikers spent 800 900 and the
companies twice as much to maintain their re-
fusal to recognize the authority Of the organi-
zation. Six thousand men went out and one
third OF them are still without work. There
seems to have been money enough spent by the
strikers, II the principle at stake was Just, to
carry their point The interference Of the DO
lice was probable beforehand. The fine weather
had something to do with the result. But
these reasons would disgrace even a
righteous cause. strike that results
in wholesale violence, the destruction of prop-
erty and general riot deserves failure. II
bad weather and the prostration Of the entire
business public are necessary to the success of
strike, there should be laws passed to protect
the public convenience by defining street-car
employees duties and responsibilities in all
sorts Of weather.

Germany expresses herself as greatly pleased
with the official decapitation Of sewan. As
Bismarck has suggested a friendly conference
at Berlin it appears to the State department
that il would not be discreet or courteous to
return to Samoa an American representative
who has been so offensive to Bismarck. The
action might be viewed as slap in the latter's
face, and he might get angry and decline to
confer, even at Berlin The German repre-
sentative in Samoa, who has distinctly slapped
the American republic in the face, still re-

The quarrel between Bismarck and America
naturally causes criticism of Germany's over
bearing foreign policy and her spying into our
national military condition with the possibility
of future hostilities in view. The Germans
thus criticised are Of course Bismarck's Ger
mans and not Americans of German
birth or descent The latter constitute an
intelligent, industrious. and valuable element
of American population, and as Americans and
citizens Of the great republic they will not
hesitate to resent an insult to the flag or hos
tile espionage merely because German is the
offender It is an insult to the German-Ameri-
cans to view them as more German than Amer
lean. and to construe criticism upon Bismarck
bullying and spying as rejecting un favorably
upon them.

The real-estate purchases investigation is in
a condition Of trance. So far as the greater
part of its constituent elements are concerned
IL has been from the first modest. shrinking,
self-depreciatory, as one who should say to the
persons or things to be investigated: II hope
don't intrude." At intervals of a few hours
during its brief existence it has held formal
self-communings, in which ii has examined its
own pulse with morbid interest, doubted whether
life is worth living, and hesitated to draw
another breath if thereby anybody should be
disturbed 1t has held its breath so long in its
present self-communing that 1t has lost con-
seriousness and relapsed into o state of sus-
pended animation. Its revival Is questionable.
But its brief and feeble career has not been in
vain. II il has failed as an investigator to re-
quire. by subpoena, the attendance and evil
dence Of the persons who could give direct evil
dence concerning the character Of the pur-
chases which it was created to investigate, it
has at least permitted some witnesses to- tell
their stories. And outside Of the repellant
subject of District real estate purchases
il has fairly revelled in pictur-
esque and varied assortment Of irrelevant
facts and experiences. Its record is as
checkered by diversions as the Senate debate on
the tariff bill. II has learned how newspaper
articles are framed, from the time when the re-
porter scents an item of news, to the approval
of the editor. and the manipulation of the type
setter. It knows that the Commissioners do
not consider that the publicity to be secured by
the widest circulation is the object of
official advertising. 1t has witnessed a
dress rehearsal by the Commissioners
Of their great act in that most
Iamentable comedy wherein they snub THE

their thumbs most savagely in the dark. 1t has
absorbed the information furnished by numer-
Gus real estate men, whose recommendation as
witnesses has been that they were not con-
cerned in the sales investigated, and could not
on that account give testimony Of their own
knowledge concerning the character Of these

much but it has had some fun in its brief
