NIantel Polish and Political Economy.

An interesting problem In political econo-
my is presented by the result OF the nego-
tiations that took place last week between
Judge DUGRo OF the Superior Court and
certain Walking Delegates. Judge DUGRo Is
the principal owner OF the new Hotel Savoy
ut Fifty-ninth street and the Fifth avenue.
and he has been anxious to have the hotel
opened as soon as possible. He had ordered
thirty onyx mantels OF non-union firm.
He was not aware Of this when he gave the
order. But those profound observers and
travellers. tho Walking Delegates. discov-
cred 1t. and at once ordered strike. The
offending mantels were all ready to be set.
They were as beautifully and artistically
polished as Is the head Of tho Hon. JAMES
WATTS Hustled. but the polish was nom
union polish, and therefore no polish at all
in the eyes Of the union. The Delegates
also found that certain cabinet work in the
hotel had come from a firm whose products
the unions have tabooed.
Judge DUGRo finally agreed that the nom
union polish on the mantels and panels and
friezes should be scraped Off by union men.
and that properly guaranteed union pol
ish should then be put on by union men
and repolishing will cost Judge DUaRo u
thousand dollars or thereabouts. and as he
thereby prevents a strike, raises taboo.
and accelerates the opening Of his hotel. no
thinks that he is justified In regarding the
money as we'll invested.
The point that occurs to us and seems to
have wider public interest in this treaty
between the Walking Delegates and Judge
DUGRo is this: Was tho repolishing
necessary? The only trouble about the
offending mantels and cabinet work was
that the polish was non-union polish. Why
couldn't tho Walking Delegates say to
Judge DUGRo: Here, your fine for per-
hitting the use OF non-union polish on your
onyx mantels will be $500. Your fine for
non-union wainscoting will be $500 moro" i?
Then there would have been no loss OF time
and the wastefulness OF doing the work over
again would have been avoided. The money
would be paid into tho treasury OF the
union. or divided among the unemployed
union men. or distributed by lot. The adj
vantage OF taking money fine without
insisting upon the razing OF the non-union
polish would have Injured to both parties
Judge DuGRo has had to pay his thousand
dollars and wait. The union men have had
to work for their thousand dollars. They
have simply thrown away S., 900.
In cases OF this kind 1t ought to be enough
that the owner shnll pay twice. it Is a
mistake for the union men to do tho work
over. Carried to perfection. the system OF
fines which we have suggested would en-
able union men to live in clover without
doing any work at all and can modern SEN
timental political economy offer anything
better than that?

1t Is reported that the explorer CARLOS
Fry has discovered a pass across the Andes by
which it will be possible to reduce from thirty
days to four or five the journey from Lima
over the mountains to towns on navgable
tributaries OF the UPPER Amazon This dis
covery is made on tho eve OF the completion
OF the railroad that is to unite eastern and
western Peru. The Pcruvians won't grumble.
but IL Fry had only made his discovery thirty
or forty years before the union of the two dis
tricts by rail. 1t would have been great boon
to the country. which has badly needed its rich

his opinion that we havo been "unfortu-

There can be no doubt about the quality

The Ne,o York Times Is engaged In q char
actcristically dishonest attempt to persuade
its readers Of "Mr. CLEvELAND's popu-
larity," and it publishes Figures to show
how he has gained In the peoples es-
tecm." Tho evidence presented Is that
in all tho States except five his vote was
greater in 1888 than in 1884. Considering
the usual increase in population. the DEM
ocratlc vote ought to have been greater in
every State in 1888 than in 1884. II in five
States it was not. that is merely additional
evidence that the Democratic candidate
in 1888 was a failure. But let US look at
some OF the Times's Juggling with figures:

The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1892-06-02

The Times leaves out Of sight the interest,"
ing fact that Kentucky gave HARRISON 81. 012
more votes than it gave BLAINE. and that
Mr.. C1EvELANDs plurality in Kentucky in
1888 was G,173 less than his plurality In 1884:
and yet Gen. HARRISON was by no means
so popular in Kentucky as Mr. BLAINE. In
Connecticut Gen. HARRIsoN's gain over
Mr. BLAINE was sf71. and the Democratic
plurality shrank from ] .2s4 to $3.50. In New
York. the Republican increase was Ss.337;
and Mr.. CLEVELAND was able to change his
little chance plurality Of l.O47 into Repub-
licnn plurality OF 1873. In New Jersey the
Claimants increase was bigger than the
Republican increase. We take the figures
as we find them. and leave to the Times
the task OF lying about them. In In
diana in 1888 tho Republican increase from
1884 was "a. 1913. and Mr.. CLEVELAND succeed
ed in changing a Democratic plurality OF
GAY into Republican plurality Of 2.s4s.
Here Is another table OF the Democratic
vote in four States in 1884 and 1888. printed
by the Times with intent to deceive:

West virginia...... 67.3l7 1857 1880
North Carolina. .l42052 1A1.9O? 1850
Missouri
Tho facts are that in Virginia the Repub-
lican increase WAS II .Os2. although the Re-
publican party in that State was far from
being in good condition: and Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND succeeded In reducing the Demo-
cratic plurality from COOS to 1859. just
about 10 per cent. of for Mugwumpery.
In West Virginia tho Republican increase
was 1925. and Mr.. CLEvELAND's plurality
dropped from 4.22l to $50. In North Caro-
lima the Republican increase was 9.716. and
Mr.. CLEVELAND diminished his plurality
from 1884 to 1918. In Missouri the Re-
publican increase was 1884. and Mr.. CLEvE-
LANDS decrease Of plurality was 5.2O5.
We presume that the Times has put its
best figures forward. Those OF which we
have given an explanation. arc sufficient to
confound the pretenslons Of the Claimant.
He is even more Of smasher OF Democratic
pluralitles than tariff smasher.

SIX-PAGE EDITION
IN THE HOUSE.

The House has shown thus far a
disposition to dispatch business
without the usual waste of time
and breath, which reflects the
greatest credit upon it. Yesterday
afternoons session lasted just five
minutes, but it was long enough to
enable the assembly to dispose Of
three bills, which completed the
business On the order of the day.
No one will favor undue haste, and
no one will begrudge all the time
necessary to an exhaustive consid-
Grafton of every measure of i'm
portance. The loss of time as a
rule consists not in the full discus
sion of measures, but in discussion
on mere matters of routine, which
do not involve the fate of legisla-
ton in any manner. It is safe to
say that if debate of the kind indi-
Gated can be sternly suppressed,
the present session need not be a
long one. 1t facilitates the rapid
transaction of business very mate
rally, when there is always some
member ready to spring to his feet
and move the proper course. The
ability to do this always comes
with legislative experience, and
the present House is fortunately
not devoid of men who have album
dance of good training on the floor

Every day brings fresh resolu-
tions asking for the insertion of all
sorts of items in the Appropria-
ton bill, for all sorts of purposes.
As the total figures of the bill al
ready equal the estimated revenue,
and as it is not in the nature of APP
preparation bills to grow smaller,
it looks very much as though the
session would end with bill of the
same menstrous proportions as in
1890. There is only one way to
avoid this misfortune, and that is
the adoption of the course urged
upon the House by Representative
Smith day or two since, which is
simply to refer all items of the
kind to the committees, by which
they can be carefully canvassed
and investigated and the claims of
the different districts adjudicated
upon their merits. In the nature
of the case these matters can never
