+; NO TIME FOR STINT.

Chief Brown will to-day report to the
Mayor >on the sanitary condition of the
city. He will ask for the calling of a
special meeting of Councils to authorize
him to spend whatever amount he finds
necessary to accomplish a thorough and
systematic cleaning ups This is timely
demand, and one which public opinion
must see the necessity for satisfying.
Nothing could be more foolish than a
penny-wse and dollar-foolish policy at
this juncture. Money spent now in i'm
'proving the sanitary condition of the city
is money wisely invested, that will bring
in handsome returns whether cholera
reach this country or not.
Of cour Sc every effort should be made
to keep the disease outside the country,
and out of the city if it gain an entrance
at the ports. But no reliance should be
placed in these precautions. By expect
ing and providing for the worst the city
will be prepared for whatsoever comes.
Councils should support the Chief of the
Department of Public Safety without
stint, while citizens collectively and indl-
vidually are called upon to render all
assistance within their power. This is no
time for stlckling as to authority or stint
ing as to funds, and Chief Brown should
be given carte blanche to accomplish all
that he and his advisers consider neces-

is IT EFFICIENT

An interview with Pittsburger who
recently arrived from Europe by the
steamer La Touraine, from Havre, where
the cholera has broken out, reports him as
saying, concerning the quarantine meas
ures at New York: "The examination of
them (the first class passengers) as we'll as
of the steerage passengers was not nearly
so rigid as expected"
If the examination was not rigid enough
to make it absolutely certain that none of
the seeds of disease could come into the
country in the baggage and merchandise
imported by that steamer it was a case
of gross criminal carelessness The fact
that the passengers had been several days
out from Havre without developing
cholera affords tolerably good presump-
ton that none of them were personally
infected. But what microbes might be
carried in the merchandise or baggage of
the steerage passengers it is impossible to
tell. If every pound was not thoroughly
disinfected it was a case of criminal Off
cial inefficiency.
The charge amounts to grave impeach-
ment of the quarantine Of New York.
If well founded it should produce a de-
cided overhauling of that weak safeguard
against pestilence.

A DEMoC RATIO SENSATION,

A decided sensation has been created in
ID emocratic circles by the publication of
the report of the effect of the Mckinley
bill by the Labor Commissioner of New
York. The Labor Commissioner is an
enthusiastic member of the Hill Democ-
racy, and the fact that such an official finds
it necessary to make an exceedingly
favorable report on the results OF that
measure in New York State naturally
autters the Cleveland advocates to the ex-
tent of panic
The bearings of the report are both
economic and factional. In the first phase
it is even glowing. 1t is based on the re-
plies from 5000 representatives of the in
dustries of New York and contains an
overwhelming mass of evidence as to the
good effects of the act The Labor Com
missioner says that he began the investi-
cation with an unfavorable opinion of the
bill; but the testimony has been so over
whelming that he is forced in official un-
partiality to publish the result shown.
His tables show that out of 68 industries
the wages of employees increased
during the year 1891 in 81, while
the wages decreased in II. The
average increase in wages of 2S5, 200
employees represented in the report was
231L The net increase in wages for the
whole State in the year was S6,377, ,925.
With an increase in the total production
of industries of s31, ,OOO, 900, the free trade
Democracy does not have. much to go on
in New York.
The factional bearing of the report is
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-08-31

lied in this form it could exert
an immense power. We believe that
this method of making workingmen their
own employers and small capitalists
contains the solution of labor problems
1t will require the reform of many corpor-
ate abuses before it can be perfec tly sue
cessful; but it is the one sure way OF
thoroughly identifying the interests OF
capital and labor. Suppose, for instance,
that the majority of the stock in a con-
cern the size of the Homestead or Brad
dock works was owned by the workmen
in the mill. Would not the course Of that
concern in fixing wages have powerful
effect on the action of its competitors?
