THE PULSE OF THE PRESS.

Bradstreet's reports of strikes for the

1850 individuals in the whole country,
compared with $4,000 for the correspond

corresponding period of 1890. Brad

TROUBLE IN TAMMANY.

Trouble in Tammany means hope for
New York. AS long as the braves were
on the war path the club of Big Chief
Croker kept them up to business, but
now that New York city has been
sacked and the bucks have grown sleek
and fat on the spoils. they have turned
their tomahawks against one another in
a struggle for the best pieces of Govern
ment beef and the brightest feathers
and wampum.
Public Works Commissioner Gilroy
and Police Commissioner Martin are
setting up for chiefs, each on his own
account. and day by day the bitterness
grows between their rival followings.
Martin, with Mayor Grants backing.
tried to undermine Croker when that
gentleman was in Europe for his health
year ago. Gilroy stood by the big
chief. and since that time Grant has
turned down" Gilroy's friends, and Gill
roy has applied himself industriously to
criticising Grant and his actions.
The significance of the quarrel at the
present moment lies in its possible out
come. Croker and Gilroy have turned
their backs on Hill. and have conferred
with Grace on the prospects of Cleve-
land. Grant, Martin and Bourke
Cochran are still for Hill, and this leaves
Tammanys course at the Chicago con-
vention something it wouldn't be safe
for prophet to risk his reputation on.

A NEEDED REFORM.

The astonishing statements made In
the report of the Committee on Public
Buildings and Grounds to the House OF
Representative in regard to the cost OF
the United States Government buildings
would seem to be sufficient TO carry con-
viction to the members of Congress that
it would be well to try another system
than that which is now in use. The
present system makes 1t incumbent
upon one man to design from fifty to
sixty new public buildings each year,
supervise the construction OF about
three hundred-the average number in
course OF construction at one time-in-
vestigate the sites for and advise as to
the construction of every new public
building which may be asked for and
make an exhaustive report thereon, and
to be ready at all times to answer all
questions that the Secretary OF the
Treasury and both houses Of Congress
may PROFOUND.
The bill proposed is intended to put
the designing Of the public buildings
into the hands of private architects
scattered throughout the country, and
making the supervising architect what
the title o6his Office indicates, supervisor
of architects, not the governments archi.
tect. but the supervisor of the architects
of the governments works. Under the
old system the committee show that the
government buildings cost from one
third more than private buildings to
twice as much, and that it takes from
twice to ten times as long to build them.
We trust that at this session of Con-
gress the new bill will be passed, and
the country will derive the benefit of an
increase in the number of new govern
ment buildings without any increase in
the public expenses.

Gle it is stated the material progress in
this country in the last 25 years is
greater than anywhere else. Again he
says that whatever need we once had
for protective tariff there is none now
and follows this statement by another
to the effect that since 1880 wages have
risen from 30 per cent. to 80 per cent.
and prices fallen.
1t would seem from his own facts and
figures that the stone received by Amer
leans when they cry for bread is edible
and nourishing. And it would also
seem that the prosperity of the last ten
years is argument sufficient for persist
ing in the course under which it has
been made possible. 1t is one of Mr..
Atkinson's arguments, and 1t Is also a
stock Democratic campaign cry that
protection should be for the weak,
and that the strongest nation ON
earth should disdain it. But Mr..
Atkinson would disdain this flimsy
apology for logic if it were ad-
vanced against any proposition of his
own. In society and throughout nature
it is invariably the higher forms that
are driven to inventing means of defence
against lower forms. Protection is
purelya question of civilization. We
cannot adopt the cheap labor of Eng
land because we have advanced beyond
it. If it were a question of machinery
we could buy it, but to descend to a
lower civilization is impossible. What
is the test of civilization? The standard
of living among the working classes;
the wage level is the standard by which
civilization must be judged. India
does not need protection against Amer
lea, but America needs protection
against India.
Mr.. Atkinson appreciates one method
Of defence very clearly and very sensibly
in his efforts to learn and to teach
economic cookery, or the art of getting
the utmost out of given sum, but his
vision becomes clouded when he sights
over broader range and fails to per-
ceive that the wise use of the little need
not be inconsistent with determina-
tion not to let the little become less, or
even with wholesome ambition to
make the little more.
