The vigorous protests from property
holders caused modification by the Finance
Committee yesterday of the proposed 50
year lease of the Fifth Avenue Market House
for armory purposes. 1t seems still, how
ever, to be the idea to grant it for 25 years
though the subcommittee may report diff
ferently about that. THE DISPATCH believes
in making provision for the ample and con-
venient housing of the military organiza-
tions. Itrecognizes their usefulness in times
Of disturbance and the public spirit of the
men who compose them. But it considers it
mere waste to devote property now worth
$l00, 900 in the open market to site purposes
when many sites equally as eligible and far
larger in area could be had for one-tenth the
sum. 1t also agrees with the remonstrants
that the diversion Of the property from the
market purposes for which it was acquired
is q hasty and unwise action. With the
population of the hill district increasing
rapidly, the step must appear as one that
should not be persisted in.

THE ERA OF PRODUCTION.

The developments in the steel industry,
indicated in another column, come at a
time when they will create great commo-
ton. The iron and steel industries are to-
day at low ebb for manufacturers, be-
cause the supply turned out exceeds the
market demand In this condition of
affairs any firm succeeding in greatly
eheapening its methods will have a mo-
nopoly of profit until such time as the
secret is discovered by their competitors.
Labor-saving devices, whether resulting
from scientific discoveries, careful atten-
tion to detail in practice, or the invention
of mechanical appliances, have always
met with great opposition in the past, and
we have yet much progress to make be-
fore it becomes universally acknowledged
that increased capacity for production
means growth of wealth for the COM
munity. This is fact which is logically
indisputable, though prejudice and ignor-
anee still doubt it.
Despite the growth of population and
the spread of civilization which had so
vastly increased the demand for manufact-
ured articleS. the opinion is rapidly gain
ing ground'i among thoughtful men of
affairs that the growth of the demand can
no longer keep pace with the increased
capacity for output. This points to the
probability of a reconstruction of our
industrial system, lessening the hours of
labor and improving the lot of the laborer.
That there may temporarily be trouble
arising from the era of change is very
likely, but that the change will finally be
for the better is indisputable. Cheapening
production may involve temporary loss
for individuals, but it means the progress
of the race at large.

THE sOUTHSIDE FREE BRIDGE.

The Southside free bridge has now ad-
vanced into the catalogue of things as
sured; and the only question is where to
place it. Already, as was foreseen, op-
position arises from the existing bridge
companies, which do not want a free
bridge alongside them to cut away their
earnings 1t is question how far this is
to be permitted to interfere with the right
aud duty of the city to provide free COM
munication across the rivers. The sug-
geStion has been made to buy out one of
the existing toll bridges, or to compensate
all Of them for allowing foot-passengers
free. The difficulty as to both these points
is that the bridge companies are earning
great protts-some of them paying as high
as 16 per cent upon their invested capital.
They will probably want proportionate
price-and if they do thereis neither sense
nor business i'll the city paying two or
three times as much for one of these toll
bridges as it would cost to build bridge.
In this view the proposal mentioned in
our local columns of building a bridge
from the Southside over Second avenue
direct to the bluff, to connect with Forbes
street and Fifth avenue extension, has
much to recommend it. 1t would have the
merit of saving much time in communica-
ton between the hill, residence and bust
ness district and the Southside; also in
communicating with the East End, Law
renceville and Oakland. Also it would
make the least interference with the exist
ing toll bridges, which all stop at Second
avenue. 1t would simply create and cater
to new and more general traffic than
now goes over any single 5ridge-and the
loss TO the existing bridges would be dis
tributed over several in place of falling
upon one.
As in any event much time is sure to be
consumed in weighing plans, it is none too
early now to begin to settle preliminaries.

TIE ANTICS OF THE SPRING.

There came day of showers
Upon the shrinking snow;
The south wind sighed of flowers,
The softening skies hung low.
Midwinter for space
Foreshadowing April's face,
The white world caught the fancy
And would not let it 20.
In reawakened courses
The brooks rejoiced the land;
We dreamed the springs shy forces
Were gathering close at hand.
The dripping buds were stirred,
As If the sap had heard
The long g-desired persuasion
or April's soft command.
But antic Time had cheated
With hopes elusive gleam;
The phantom spring defeated
Fled down the ways Of dream.
And in the night the reign
or winter came again,
With frost upon the forest
p And stiffness on the stream.

Worth Remembering

For The Mirror.
Worth Remembering.
The secret of success is constancy of
purpose.
Every time you look at sin it seems to
become little better looking.
You can trade your reputation for dol
lar, but you can never trade back.
1t won't do any good to pray for things
that you ought to roll up your sleeves and
work for.
Meeting and overcoming difficulties makes
character; and character is all we can take
into eternity.
Before doing wrong. remember there are
few places in the world where man can
start all over again, and those are likely to
be taken.
Why struggle on alone when there is One
so willing to help you over the hard places,
and so strong to subdue the evil to be con-
trOlled within.
Tho the strongest wander farthest,
He can lead them back again;
Waking in their lives the courage
And the hope that make them men.
