EYTRAVAG4NCE IN BROOKLYN:

The work of the Brooklyn Board of EStl-
mate for this year has been completed.
and it is now too late for it to undo the I'M
unsuitable extravaganza in which it has freely
INDUCED. BY law passed by the recent Legs
latne power was given to this Board to fix the
salaries of heads of departments etc, provided
that no reductions were made from existing
salaries. The Board of Estimate is composed
Of MAYOR Boody, Controller Jackson, City Au-
ditor Weber, SupervisOr-at- Large kinkel ana
County Treasurer Adams. They are all Dem
oclats. and owe their places 10 the favor OF
the Mclaughlin Ring. To put such power into
the hands Of such men practically certain
to result in mischief. 1t was felt by clear
headed observers to be dangerous power and
if has proved to be So The Board has chosen
to increase salaries with a free hand, and the
burdens of the taxpayers will be measurably
augmented next December in consequence.
Two members of the Board itself have been
the bencfciaries of its liberallty-the Con-
| trollcr, whose salary raised from $1,000
| TO 50 900, and the Auditor, whose salary was
| increased from SO 800 to $1,000. The Cor
polation Counses salary has been advanced
from So, 900 to $40, 900 the two Excise Com
mSSUncIS are cdCll w It'tlNc Vi'VV" ihoiS
| than formerly the salaries of all the MEM
bers of the Board Of Assessors have been
raised instead of "a 900 the Superintendent
of Police is to receive $1,000; larger pay has
been provided for the police inspectors and
captains the Commissioner of City Works is
to draw $4,000 instead of $4,000 from the
city treasury henceforth and, in shoIt, gem
eral era OF extravaganza has set in. In one
conspicuous instance the Board Of Estimate
had the courage to say "No." The chief Of
! the Fire Department did not get the extra
| 81. 900 for which he asked not being satisfied
with a salary Of $1,000. Not all of these In
| creases are TO be unsparingly condemned. The
Superintendent of Police seems to be fairly en-
titled 70 an additional thousand and the mem
bers of the Board of Assessors doubtless have
been underpaid. But most of this extra ex-
penditure is simply money thrown away. Con-
troller Jackson devotes comparatively little
time TO his official duties. In the opinion OF
many persons familiar with Brooklyn affairs
the Office of City Auditor should be abolished

Free-Trade ideas do not find much favor in
the ranks of the Central Labor Union. A few
weeks ago at one of the Sunday meetings OF the
body an attack upon Protection was throttled
without ceremony. Yesterday resolution was
proposed bearing upon the Homestead troubles
which denounced the Mckinley bill as an In
Jury, rather than a benefit, TO worklngmen'
The Labor Union, having recently been en-
larged it was felt by the authors of the resolu::
ton that It could easily be put through. Con-
trary to their expectation, strong opposition was
aroused and the matter was finally shelved by
reference to a committee Intelligent working
men are of course, too shrewd TO pitch into
a law which has been of such positive help to

WAGES At HOMESTEAD.

Some journals which ought to be capable of
\ sense Of shame apparently are not. They 90
on persistently asserting that the employers at
Homestead are demanding that the men work at
starvation wages. and have cut down their
wages from 20 to 90 per cent III spite OF al ad-
vance In duties on iron and steel products. All
these statements have been completely retuted,
and yet are repeated without a blush. 1t Is but
n few DAYS since il was shown that there was
not 4 single class of products made at the Home
stcad works on which duties were advanced by
the tariff of 1890. but on nearly all those prod
nets Duties were reduced The works were
especiallv devoted to the manufacture OF beams
and structural steel, on which the duties were
cut down from 81 % to 90 cents per 100
pounds. A small quantity OF steel bullets are
made tbcre on which the duties were also re-
ducod on most grades from A. per cent to 30
per cent, and on other products OF the mil inc
reduction was considerable.
Ii is an equally impudcnt untruth 70 say that
the reduction proposed was to starvation wages.
The table recently taken from The American
Manufacturer showed the average daily earl
incs of the men whose wages 1t was proposed
N alter under the old scale to which they
agreed three years ago, and under the scale
which the men now reject. Omltting the col
umns showing wages per ton, the table Is mere
repeated except that the original statement
gave wages for twelve hours work In the ll9
inch plate mill while the new scale is Tor clght
hours work in the following table the earnings
in that mill under the old scale arc reduced to
an eight hour basis:

II will be seen that at the minimum shown
in the last column, not one of the men whose
wages were changed will receive less than - SO

The Tammany big chiefs have been laying
their heads together diligently for some
DAYS to work out plan for rearranging
the Assembly Districts that will give general
satisfaction The general principle that guides
them is to grab all they can; at the same time
they are compelled to give some heed to the de-
sires of the smaller leaders whose bailiwick com
prises an Assembly District apiece. Rumors are
abroad that some of the Aldermen may refuse
% accept the slate prepared under Cookers
direction. by Gilroy, Purroy and Martin.
Nothing is more unlikely. The Aldermen know
too well on which side their bread is buttered
Their only business is to obey orders, and they
will do so meekly.

The Newest skirts.

A new device of the dressmakers gives
the effect of a long i,ussian blouse, and is
what was formerly called double skirt.
1t is simply bell s..irt lining covered with
the dress material up above the knees and
bordered at the foot with ruche. Over
tapping this from the belt down is n shorter
skirt of the material, shaped precisely like
the lining and bordered with ruche like
that of the foot. This upper skirt repre-
sents the lower part of the long Russian
blouse, and is worn with round waist
with edges extending over the top of the
skirt and concealing the join. 1t is eX-
tremely pretty when made OF black India
silk, with a ruche of box plated Brussels
net or of velvet ribbon bordering the skirts
Those who are tired of plain skirts may
like the jabot SIX rt, which is made ON q
bell shaped lining The outer material is
not sloped away ut the top of the back
seam, but is arranged to fall in a jabot
down the bias seam of the lining. There
are also Vatican skirts made with a br' d
triple plat in the back, faring widely 1T
the foot and extending longer than the
skirt at the top; this upper part gradually
narrows to a point and is carried half way
up the back of the cOrsage and attached
