THE CONSUMERS POWER.

Two events within the last week place in
new and strong light the enormous power Of
this Nation. Spain and Germany have changed
their policy in important particulars at the de-
sire of people of the United States. The peo-
pies desire was not expressed in threats or
with ans show of armed force, but in kindly
and rational negotiation. Yet Europe shakes
even now with the tread Of several millions Of
armed men, but not even all these forces would
have been able to secure from Spain or from
Germany the changes which have been granted
voluntarily at the request Of this country. For
behind the courteous request there was a ire
mendcus power over the industries, the business
and the prosperity of other nations, which they
were not willing to have exhibited.
The treaty with Spain which went into effect
last week involved surrender Of national reve-
nue. and a reconstruction of the national policy
toward the most important Spanish colony which
it would have been Judged only year ago i'm
possible to obtain by any means short of sue
ceSsful war and absolute conquest But Spain
admitted products of the United States into
Cuba and Porto Rico free Of duty, because this
country has become the one customer upon
which the industries of those islands absolutely
depend. The people of the United States take
from Cuba alone more than half million tons
of sugar in year, and if they should withhold
their trade the prostration of Cuban industries
would be inexpreSsible and intolerable. The
Congress Of the United States had declared the
intention of the people to buy sugar from those
countries which granted satisfactory concessions
in their trade. Spain was obliged to choose
between such a devastation Of industry in Cuba
as would have rendered revolution almost in
evitable and irresistible, and would probably
have separated the ever-faithful isle from Span
ish authority forever or great concession to
the people of this country.
Germany is in military force perhaps the most

PRESBYTERIAN REVISION.

Presbyterians, as well as many who are not
Presbytcrians are looking forward with great
interest to the meetings of the various Presby-
teries which take place this month 1t will be
remembered that the report OF tho Revision
Committee, presented to the last General As
sembly. was referred to the PreSbyteries, in
order that they might have an opportunity 10
say what they thought Of it. And at the meet
ings which are just about to take place such an
opportunity will be afforded them There is
no doubt that the conservatives, who brought
about this reference to the Presbyteries, did so
with the hope, not only of preventing any fur
Their revision, but of whiting down the sug-
gestiOns in the line of revision made by the
committee to such fine point that the Con-
fcssion would remain practically unrevised as to
all the vital points at issue "They were well
aware, of course, that an overwhelming ma
iority OF the Church still desires revision. I'M
spite Of the fact that the last General Assembly
appeared to be an anti-revision body. They
could not therefore, expect to gain anything
by submitting the question anew to the sober
judgment of the Presbyteries; for they knew
that if the Presbyteries spoke for the great
majority of intelligent Presbyterians, they would
call for revision even more emphaticaly than
they did two years ago
But the conservative leaders are shrewd poll
ticians as well as good Presbyterians; and they

that a man on q bicycle can be sent to many

The new Bridge management have undertaken TO
improve the night service on their railroad, some
thing for which the night-travelling public nave
reason to be thankful. There are TO be more
trains and more cars to the train during the greater
part of the evening. This regard for public sent-
ment and convenience is a good sign. 1t is not
many months since the Bridge railroad was run
upon the principle that nobody had right to
be out later than p. m. or at least that IL
anybody was out later he must run the risk OF
not getting Gcat when crossing tie Brldge'
There has been gradual Improvement In the
service, and the latest step indicates genuine
desire to meet the demands of travellers. NOW
1t is in order to ask why the trustees manifest such
extreme deliberation in proceeding with the i'm
provements. which, according to their Official
Judgment, will multiply the carrying facilities TO
the furthest reasonable limit. Inasmuch as they
have committed themselves, the fact that In the
opinion of not few competent observers, the
system proposed is fraught with dancer cannot be
their reason for hesitation They have expert
engineers opinions to back them up, and are
bound TO do their best to Supply the everincreasing
demand.

In city with well-regulated government it
would occasion surprise to learn that In GER
tain department it is the rule that employees must
be on duty from to daily, that absenting ones
self from duty without permission is charged
against mans record, that smoking is prohibited
during Office hours, and that others than employees
are not permitted behind the ratings and desks.
II is sufficient commentary upon the state OF
things in New-York that an order recently issued
In the Tax Department embodying these among
other regulations is regarded little short of
revolutionary. President Barker, however, may
be certain that he has public sentiment behind
him in the reform ne has undertaken. The amAz-
ing thing is that there should be need Of any such
reform; at least 1t would be amazing but that
under the benign rule of Tammany Hall the aver
age citizens capacity for surprise was long ago
exhausted. Tax Commissioner Barker is on the
right track and Is setting virtuous example. In
stead Of Kicking" his subordinates should dill
gently heed his good advice about keeping in mind
the responsible duties Of their stations and main
tanning discipline and efficiency throughout the
department.

Elsewhere a staff correspondent OF TIE
TRIBUNE writes pleasantly about the exhibition
Of the Holy Coat at Treves. Incidentally he
suggests that the use of the definite article
"the" is perhaps hardly correct in referring
10 this venerable garment for other garments
in other places are thought by good Catholics
to be the" Holy Coat. In ease like this
when good Catholics disagree, the candid out
slider may find it hard to come to decision in
favor Of any of the relics in question. But
waving that point it is certain that the pill
erimage to the Holy Coat at Treves is an
important event in the Catholic world. Of
course, nineteenth-century thrift might be ex-
pected to take advantage of such great gather
ing OF people and it is therefore not surprising
10 learn that the devout pilgrims will be tempt
ed By hawkers to try Holy Coat buns, and Holy
Coat cigarettes. But, after ALL perhaps in the
good Old days Of faith this world iostled the
next in pretty much the same way.

Suffering as a Discipline.

a ever hope to attain to stability and
true symmetry of manhood and roman
hood. disappointment and sorrow de-
velop certain traits within us which, ii
they remained dormant, would leave
our lives imperfect and incomplete. We
a acquire fortitude only by sur
mounting fears, and endurance we can
gain only by suffering unmitigated
pain. Sorrows educate mind and
heart; they elevate, they purify the
baser passions.
We receive our best instructions in
conflicts with the world; not in those
trays in which We are victorious, but
in the encounters that often witness
our defeat. We need the stern and
rigid discipline Of outside trouble, of
inward struggle, that calls out the best
that is in us. Human nature is weak
enough as it is, but were it not for the
trials and temptations which it must
meet and resist we would soon degen-
crate into a race of ch-aracterless be-
ings. We cannot suffer too much in
order to be strong. Adversely is a
teacher whom none should despise.-

There was just a mild preliminary
skirmish between the mayor aud the city
council last night, but it was not sufficient
to arouse any ant ,ponisms or to even de-
stroy the mutual good feeling which ex
lists. It was scarcely 10 be expected that
Marshal Schnitger would let go without
something more coCrcive than a simple iu-
vItation to step down aud out. He likes
mis- job and is perhaps not discoutented
with his salary aud so could not be
expected to come down until the last prop
was withdrawn from him. There is still
some question as to whether the Rcpubli-
can members OF the council will stand by
him at all hnElrls and under all circum-
stances, but IN the first move on the mu
nicipal chess board. it NAV be safely said
that neither party gained nor lost much
ground. The appointment OF commit.
tees was certainly satisfactory to all con
cerued.
