The Kew 70 Sncness.

The methods of business to-day
are entirely different from those en-
ployed in the last ten, fifteen or
twenty years; business men in or
der to be successful, must move with
the times and display contented
activity and enterprise in their bus
mess, and they will find that unless
they recognize the value of adver-
tising, the trade will fall into the
hands of those concerns, who, being
ahead of thetimesi and appreciating
the present coHditfon of the trade
adopt enterprisingemethods in their
business and advertise their goods
in the most liberal man'her.
Within a vefy few daysthe CAP

TWO SUBJECTS FOR REFORM.

The evidence presented in the detective
and blackmailing cases gives point to the
statements already made in these columns
as to the need for reform in the private de-
tectfve business, and bids fair to have some
thing to spare in the direction of supporting
another position of this journal as to the
need of reforming some features in the Al
dermen business.
The evidence may not be conclusive that
the Aldermen named in the testimony were
cognizant of the criminal nature of the
suits. But it shows pretty plainly that the
practice of taking costs without any hear
ing, and without any effort on the part of
the Aldermen to inform themselves of
the nature of the prosecutions, opens
wide door for the successful
practice of the gravest abuses.
This is an influence toward abuse which is
common to our justice courts. The Alder
man, being dependent on fees for the sup
port of his court, is impelled by one of the
strongest forces known to modern humanity
to accept any course that will yield the
costs, and to take the chances on the justice
and good faith of the proceeding. The re-
suit is very frequently grotesque, considered
as an illustration of the administration of
justice.
The present scandalous cases will not be
an unmixed evil. if they make clear the
necessity of abOlishing the irresponsible
private detective business, and reforming
those features of the Aldermen's courts
which diminish their care for even-handed
iuefioa

PRACTICARILITY OF THE CANAL.

The question of the proposed ship canal
from Lake Erie to this city forms the sub
ject of an interesting article by Mr.. G. L.
Moody in the Erie Dispatch of Saturday.
1t gives its main attention to the doubt as to
whether a sufficient supply of water is OBJ
tainable for the higher levels of the canals.
The calculation is made as to the amount of
water necessary to permit vessels of 500 to
1000 tons to pass, and to carry an aggregate
traffic of 3,OOO,0O0 tons in eight months Of
the year. Then, by map of the Con-
neaut Lake, Chautauqua Lake and Oil
Creek basins, it is shown that feeders are
practicable there which will supply the
drainage of this district of 1000 square
miles to the highest level of a canal from
Tidioute, on the Allegheny, to Conneaut
Lake summit.
This offers q strong indication that the
canal from Lake Erie to the upper Allie
gheny is not only practicable, but is likely
to be most economical in construction. The
main objection to it is likely to be that as
the political influences of Beaver county
have been prominentin the revival of the
canal project they may object to having
the route diverted entirely from their Sec
ton. 1t certainly would be calculated to
sour community like the Beaver Valley
to start the agitation for public work and
then to be left entirely to one side in its
realization.

TO SOUTH cARoLINA,s CREDIT.

The acquittal of Flenon, or Yeldell, by
the South Carolina court, and the care that
was taken to protect him against the threats
of lynch law, deserve fair recognition from
the people of the North. 1t shows beyond
question that tine influential and official ele-
ment in South Carolina fully perceives the
importance of exact justice to the negro as
we'll as to the white man.
This is the most satisfactory and complete
response to the charge that the state of pub
lie feeling in South Carolina would secure
Flemon's conviction, regardless of the facts.
The trial turns out to have been painstak-
ingly fair to the prisoner, and to have given
him the benefit of all reasonable doubts, even
to the extent of iberality. The threats of
the mob reveal survival of the old barbaric
spirit; but the precautions taken against a
lynch-law murder showed that the better
classes in South Carolina wire in earnest to
redeem the pledge that all The legal rights
of the prisoner should be maintained.
The outcome of the case should establish
better understanding and more complete
confidence between the two sections. South
Carolina has certainly done her duty care
fully and thoroughly.

RAILROAD MANAGEMENT AND DUELING

The two distinguished and influential
idiots of the Atlanta, Ga, type who fought
a duel in Alabama last week, were railroad
men. One of them having accused the
other before legislative committee of
having tried to unload his railroad upon the
corporation of the first, the other retorted
that this was untrue. Such an answer made
it necessary to burn powder, and accord
inglv the antagonists journeyed into
Alabama, found a suitable place, and after
discharging their pistols at each other suit
able number of times, declared their honor
satisfied and abstained from further pro-
ceedings.
This method of wiping out injury upon
their honor arouses jeers of sarcasm from
the rest of the country. But it must be con-
fessed that it affords decided improvement
upon the method which is usually resorted
to by railroad men for fighting out their
quarrels. As general rule instead of try
ing to cut the throat of his enemy, accord
ing to the rules of the duello, the irate rail-
road manager proceeds to cut mis- enemy's
rates; and the regular method of fighting
of the stockholders in the shape of net earn
ings, rather than to let out the personal gore
of his antagonist. There seems to be little
room for doubt that the average stockholder
will prefer that the manager of his property
shall resort to the code in the pursuit of his
personal quarrels, rather than con6ne him
self to the regular corporate methods of war
fare.
Nevertheless the duel in this case
seems to have been unsatisfactory on &C.
count of the total absence of fatality. The
errand having been professedly killing
one. it certainly seems that men having at
their disposal the resources of two railroads
should have been able to make their meet
ing more deadly. The next time that they
undertake to kill each other, we would sug-
gest that they meet each mounted upon
locomotive of his own railroad, in which
case there is good hope that one, if not both,
duelists will be permanently cured of duel

DOUBTFUL EVIDENCE.

The intimation that the Treasury au-
thorities arc not disposed to accept the fact
that workingmen in America informed
workingmen in England that they could get
employment in the glass factories here, as
evidence of q contract for importation, in
dicates belief that it is time to call halt
on the extreme application of that piece OF
legislation. 1t would take rather strong
presumption to regard this a contract; but
it would not so strong as the ruling which
puts a clergyman under the head of i'm
ported labor, and imposes a fine upon the
vestrymen who offered him salary to leave
England. Whatever the construction of
the law may be it will be hard to convince
the public that the act of a labor organiza-
tion in bringing its foreign members from a
country where they are out of work to one
that wants their work, is injurious to labor.

AS TO COKE PRICES.

1t is asserted that some operators in the
coke region are talking of closing down
because at the present scale Of wages they
cannot sell coke at S1.00 per ton without
losing money. That is the wisest course to
adopt if it be true that the cost of pro-
duction is in excess of the market phce. In
the first place, the surest way to raise
prices to profitable basis is to cease pro-
duction at an improbable one. In the
next place, if the price is held at losing
figure, by any interest, the quickest way to
bring it to terms is to let 1t have all the
business there is which entails loss on the
seller.
But there is a great difference between
the proposed jump of prices to S1.5O per ton,
and leaving it at the present level. Some of
the operators might try selling it at
s1.10@1.2O 20 before declaring that the market
will not advance.

place upon similar occasions in the great capi-
tails of Europe. There would, however, be a
natural rivalry among the plutocrats of Amer
lea for the opportunity of making something
like royal display.
We are not sosure that the aforesaid plu-
tocrats would make such an exhausting ef-
fort to receive Victoria. 1t is certain that
this Republic would not receive the queen
with hustle. Columbia does not encum-
Der her truly queenlike form with such
trash as hustle. Nor. does she harbor the
ridiculously effete idea that it is necessary
to pay enormous annuities to parcel of
congenital nincompoops who in return are
an excuse for gorgeous progresses and splen-
did functions. But the United States can
give hearty welcome to any visitor they
love and honor. If England will spare us
Mr.. Gladstone for little while we will
show the world what an American welcome
is like. Kings and queens need not apply.

SEND Us MIR. GLADSTONE.

The latest story about Queen Victoria is
that she intends visiting the United States
in the near future. In England the story is
not believed, but it is discussed by good
many papers over there, principally for the
purpose of sneering at the welcome that
would be accorded the good old lady should
she land upon our shores. The London
Globe, for instance, says:
Still, one may wish that there were some
truth in the rumor, If only for the sake Of i'm
agining the hustle with which republic would
receive a Queen and Empress. Republicanism
as exhibited in the States. is at a disadvantage

THAT AWFUL BUCKBoARD.

Is President. Harrison consistent in all
things? Has ne sufficient respect for his
high Office and the gentleman who fills it?
These are two questions which naturally
suggest themselves to us when we read that
in the course of one of Mr.. Harrison's ex-
cursions at Bar Harbor last week he rode
upon blackboard in company with eleven
society people. We care not to stop to in
quire how eleven men managed to get seats
on one blackboard, or to sympathize with
the luckless horse delegated to haul such q
load; our mission is more momentous.
A couple of months ago the ebullient and
blooming Secretary Of the Department Of
Agriculture, Jeremiah Rusk, italicised his
presence at a rural fete, gotten up by Edi-
tor Agnus, Of Baltimore, by riding on the
top of hay wagon. The feat at the time
made tremendous impression upon the
nation. and not few were found to point
to it as convincing proof Of the usefulness
of the new department over which General
Rusk presides. But few weeks after Sec
retary Rusk had descended from the hay
wagon, it leaked out that President Harri-
son had said that he thought it inconsistent
with the dignity of Cabinet officer to ride
about in such vehicle. In fact, it is said,
the President even went further and pointed
out to Secretary Rusk the Nervousness of his
offense. Since then, anyhow, the nations
prime authority on sweet corn and the way
to kill English sparrows has been observed
to be extremely sedate in his carriage, and
when he rides he always eschews hay
wagons. What he will feel at liberty to do
now, when he learns of his chiefs ignoble de-
scent to a buck board, we tremble to think.
But President Harrison, who is probably
well-informed upon matters of state dignity
and traditional etiquette in high Office, may
be able to inform us of some subtle tecbni-
cality by which the buckwagon is put
within bounds of propriety while the hay
wagon is kept without Still we adjudge
the hay wagon to be a vehicle of ponderous
dignity; a very model of majesty as COM
pared with the rattling and frivolous buck
board. And we are forced to admit that
President Harrison has shown several other
signs Of unDending, such as sitting on a camp
stool in ships cabin with plate of salad
between his knees. Alive can hope is that
Mr.. Russell Harrison on his return from
foreign courts will impart to his father the
latest information as to the proper move
ment of eminent persons.

COMPARING the state Of negro labor in
the South with white labor in the North,
the Memphis appeal says: "We do not
know just how kindly the negroes would
take to work in the Carnegie foundries
when they find themselves guarded by a
corps of Pinkerton detectives. They have
had no experience of that sort in the
South" The reports from the South of
cases in which the negroes have been made
the objects of mob Eiolence, indicate as
much. We have never heard Of their being
guarded by Pinkerton detectives or any 9TH
er kind, and perhaps they might not consid-
er a little protection of that sort wholly mis-
placed.
