GOOD INVESTMENT.

The fund which George Peabody left
thirty years ago to build model tenement
houses for the poor of London has in
creased in that time from $3.50, 900 to more
than S., 900, ,oOO The work Of reinvestin2
the earnings from the first buildings
erected in new erection has caused that
decided increase, and stated by the physi-
cal results has provided for the artisans
and laborers of London 500 houses with
II, ,273 sets of apartments, yielding an aver
age rental of about $62 80 per annum.
We remember recent remark that the
erection of model tenement houses would
be greater benevolence than the found
ing of free libraries. The assertion can
hardly be agreed to for reason that
shines out from the above statement. 1t
was benevolence for Mr.. Peabody to de-
vote large fund to demonstrating what
can be done in that line and to keep the
increment constantly enlarging the same
work. But when the results show that in
thirty years the use of the money in that
way has created property worth seven
times the original donation, the work is
taken out of the domain of benevolence
and put in the category of money-making
enterprises. Much more is done in the
way of improving the homes of laborers
by showing that sound and remunera-
tive investment can be had that way than
by holding it up as charity. The most
important result of Mr.. Peabody's enter
prise is the showing that by compounding
the revenue in the same investment it has
yielded an average increment of $125, 600
per annum, or 163S per cent of the origi-
nal investment
1t is possible, indeed, that larger re-
turn might have been secured by people
who invest in slums and rookeries,
although it is doubtful if, with the element
of stability taken into account, the invest
ment would have been as good But SO
long as people prefer to make money cred
itably rather than discreditably the results
of the Peabody fund display the erection
of model tenements as stable and remu-
nerative investment

COMPETITION IN MULTIPLICATION.

A striking example of the pass which
the notification of constitutional provi-
sions by the great corporations has
reached is furnished in the purchase by
the Pennsylvania Railroad of the entire
output of some large anthracite collieries
in the HaZleton district, and the state
ment that negotiations for the control of
more were close to successful compile
ton.
This step puts the Pennsylvania Rail-
road into successful competition with the
anthracite coal combination. In that
respect it is a move not wholly without
satisfactory features to the public. But it
is a significant commentary on the preva-
lent policy of corporate aggression that
the advance of one corporate combination
can only be met by another corporation
which rivals it in ignoring the spirit if not
the letter of the State Constitution. The
Constitution forbids any railroad corpora
ton from engaging in mining or manufact-
uring enterprises. If taking charge of the
entire output of a concern does not come
within the meaning Of that clause it evi-
IDENTIFY comes within the intent of it to
keep transportation companies from abb
sor5ing the enterprises on their lines. Be-
yond that it may at some time become
pertinent question whether the business
of wholesale coal dealer is not entirely
ultra Uires for railroad cooperation.
Yet it is the fact that the alternative to
this step was to let the anthracite inter-
ests in question fall wholly under the
grasp of the Reading monopoly. The
salutary principle of the Constitution has
been ignored so long and so persistently
that the whole anthracite interest has
come under the direct or indirect owner
ship of the transportation companies It
might have been better if the Pennsylva-
mia road had been able to stand up for
the principle of the thing even if its rival
gobbled the entire anthracite output. But
being after its share of the traffic, and
having shown in the past that it does not
care for little thing like Constitutional
or charter restrictions, it went ahead re-
gardless of both, with the result-more
satisfactory than usual in such cases-that
there will be little approach to compe-
tition in the anthracite trade.
Yet it might be supposed that among the
great corporations there would be some
minds clear-sighted enough to foresee that
some day or other this example of con-
tempt for legal restrictions may rise again
to veX them

that the price has already been put
close up to the line at which
sugars can be imported-which indicates
just what the nation would save If the
protective principle were cleared Of COM
plicity with the Trust extortions by re-
moving the half-cent duty on imported
sugars
Mr.. Havemyer's denial that the monop-
oily has advanced sugars "since the aclui-
sition of the Philadelphia refneries"
shows the very small hole through which
big combination can creep in regard to
matters of public policy.

TIE sENATEs INJUSTICE.

The letter of Mr. j. R. Young to Vice
President Morton, concerning his re-
moval from the Office of executive clerk of
the Senate, calls renewed attention to the
fact that the method which the Senate
chose for the assertion of its dignity was
something which it would be gross fattery
to call dignifed.
Certain diplomatic documents. which
Senatorial tradition required to be kept
secret, leaked out as usual, and the special
correspondents published them all over
the country the next morning. No harm
was done by the publication; but the Sena-
torial dignity was shocked. 1t is noto-
rious that the Senate secrets leak out
through the Senators; but the Senators
could not well discipline themselves with
out serious Inconvenience. A scape-
goat was needed and Mr.. Young was
selected.
The manner in which the removal was
effected displays the pettiness of the act.
Mr.. Young was first called upon to resign;
but after he had claimed his right to
defense against the accusation the reso-
luton was crowded through without any
inquiry and without the slightest oppor-
tunity for defense on the part of the
accused clerk. The method of removal is
pTfnG fdcSe evidence that the charge of
disclosing Senatorial secrets was pre-
text, and the most charitable view of it is
to suppose that Mr.. Young was made
scapegoat for the garrulity of the Sena-
tors themselves This leaves the clerk
in much \better light than the honor
able Senate. If that body cannot use
common justice in defending the secrecy
of its executive sessions it will do we'll
for itself by getting rid of the secrecy
which produces such demoralizing effects.

THE NEW BERINa SEA MoDUa
A Happy Mean Struck Between Blaine's
and Great Britain's Demands.

and Great Britain's Demands.
WASHINGTON, April Is-The modus vivendi
for the protection of the Bering Sea seal
fisheries during the tendency of the arbitra-
tlon which has been subject of negotiation
between Secretary Blaine and the British
Minister, was brought to the Capitol about
O'Clock this afternoon. For some reason,
not now apparent it was under injunction
of secrecy, and therefore was not laid be-
fore the Senate in open session. Mr.. Sher-
man was notified by the President of the
nature of the communication, and as soon as
he could do SO he moved that the Senate go
into executive session. Accordingly. the
doors were closed, the galleries cleared, and
the seal question taken up.
1t appeared from the reading OF the docu-
ment that Mr.. Blaine and the British Min
lister have been spending the time since
March 26 last, when the British Government
consented to renew the modus, in trying to
phrase the conditions relative to damages
so as TO secure advantages for their respect
i've Governments. Indeed, it appears that
all of the hesitation and reluctance exhib-
tied by Great Britain in consenting to the
renewal was assumed with the purpose Of
obliging this Government to accept terms
for the adjustment of damages that would
insure Great Britain against heavy loss in
the event of decision adverse to hef by the
arbitrators, and on the other hand, would
d
money against the United States as would
go far toward healing the soreness still felt
by British diplomats ut the formidable
Judgment rendered against them by the
Geneva arbitration.
Secretary Blaine has been endeavorIng to
bring the statement OF liabilities of the two
parties. back to the basis laid down in Mr..
Wharton's note of July % last, while the
British Government has sought to escape
the direct responsibility for the unwarrant-
able killing OF seals and for anything more
than the difference between the 1900 skins
which the lessees Of the Seal Islands took,
and the 100, 600 skins they might have taken
had the modus of last year not been en-.
forced. The agreement just reached is said
to be fair mean between the two extreme
propositions. 1t appears that it will, unlike
the first modus, require the approval of the
Sena e. fnasmuch as the last document pro-
poses permanent settlement of damages,
and provides for the means of adjusting the
claims. The discussion to-day was gener-
ally on the same line that hns characterized
the preceding debates and some Senators
called attention to what they regarded as
imperfections In the document. 1t was
finally referred to the Committee on Foreign
Relations.
