The overwhelming gathering of the
Christian Endeavor delegates in New York
is a gratifying surprise to those who have
lamented the apparent decadence of zeal for
Christian work. 1t shows that instead of
our people having lapsed far into indiffer-
entism there Is everywhere the strongest and
most active spirit of Christian effort, which
brings tens of thousands Of young men and
women into any plan of work which promises
the moral and material elevation Of their
communities. The Christian Endeavor So
ciety now reaches every State, County and
town in the Nation, and every week sees its
numbers swelling by myriads. 1t has be-
come great. deep religious awakening
not sensational, but serious and practical,
and we believe permanent. It sweeps over
sectarian lines, and unites all who wish for
the moral betterment of the land in COM
bined effort to secure that betterment by
plain everyday methods and practices.

THE Pension Bureau investigation has
ended, and the partisan majority of the
committee has made a strictly partisan re-
port. Read between the lines the report is
an angry confession of failure to find what
it was ardently hoped could be found. De-
spite the food of accusations and ISLANDERS
which have filled the columns of soldier
hating papers and the mouths of soldier
hating orators for years; despite the most
desperate efforts to find something damag
ing-efforts which extended to calling in the
testimony of every street-corner gaseon-
ader-the committee found absolutely moth
ing of a specific nature, and is compelled to
resort to general denunciation, unsupported
by single specific injurious fact. The

ONLY THE GAR. In THE PARADE.
There is some loud grumbling because Of
Commander-in-Ch Chief Palmer's announce
ment that only members of the Grand Army
of the Republic will be admitted to the
parade at the time of the National Encamp-
ment The reason for this restriction will
be clear to anyone who thinks little on the
matter. The parade is purely Grand Army
affair, and it is regulated by fixed rules,
which give the order in which the, Depart
ments and Posts shall march. There is no
provision in the Rules and Regulations for
outsiders. There has never been any OBJ
sections to veterans who did not belong to
the Order marching in the procession, and
there is not now. But since they do not be-
long to any Department or, Post, they can
not fall in with them, but must bring UP in
the rear.
The parade on the Doth of September next
will be so long that it will be impracticable
for those who march in the extreme rear to
get up in any time at all. The rule adopted
by the Encampment at Detroit restricted the
line of march to two miles. 1t is estimated
that there will be fully 10000 men in the
various Posts and Departments who will
march. It has become very serious ques-
lav, Gar ne kIo
two miles in any reasonable time. If they
are marched with front of Is files, which
is large front for SO long march, it is cal
culated it may take 10 hours to pass all over
the prescribed two miles. A wider front
than Is files makes very hard marching,
especially for men who have not drilled for
quarter of century; and besides, Penn
sylyania avenue narrows Down to an Or
binary street width, with car-tracks in the
center, on the eastern side of the Treasury
Department. If it is going to take 10 hours
to pass the Departments over the line OF
march, and the procession moves at 10 a. M,
it will be o'clock at night before the last
Department passes the reviewing stand, SO
there will not be much fun for those who
are marching in the rear.
The place where all soldiers will be al
home, without reference to their Grand
Army affiliations, will be the White Lot
where they will meet by corps, divisions
| regiments, batteries, etc. This will be 8
matter of more Importance to all than
marching in the parade, and every man who
| to the White Lot and find his comrades and
shipmates there to greet him.

WAGES IN EUROPE AND AMERICA.

Col. Carroll d Wright, the United States
Commissioner of Labor has been making an
exhaustive study for years of the ,compara-
tive wages and conditions of labor in Europe
and America. Recently, he made COMPARE
sons of the wages of the heads of 1924
families engaged in the manufacture of iron
and textile fabrics in the United States,
Great Britain, Germany, and France. These
families averaged $50 persons each. Their
The National tribune., 1892-07-14
average incomes were:

From this it will be seen that the average
American iron, cotton or wool worker re-
ceives nearly one-third more than the aver
age British workingman more than so per
cent more than the French, and almost
three times as much as the German.
Proceeding then to the consideration of
the family expenses, Col Wright finds that
the principal expense was for food, and the
comparative outlay of the workmen of each
of the four great Industrial nations was:
United states-Income ss74; expended for food,
A per cent. or SaS6.
Great Britain-Income, s5l2; expended for food
so per cent, or S262.
France-Income. s!ls; expended for food. 48 per
cent, or 500.
Germany-Inoome $751;; expended for food. so
per cent, or SAB.
That is, after buying food for his family,
the American workman has 1878 left; the
British, $3.50; the French, $2i5, and the
German, S144
1t is not possible that the foreign work
man can begin to have as much or as good
food as the American, for the sufficient rea-
son that food is much cheaper and more
abundant here than in Europe. Nor can
their next great item of expense-rents-be
less, owing to the greater cheapness here of
ground and the main items of building ma
terial.
What lends additional interest to these
comparisons is that Col. Wright is pro-
nounced Free Trader, and so cannot be ac-
cused of dectoring his figures in the interest
Of Protection.
