The Tug Between Two Trusts.

It Is estimated that tho difficulty between
che New England Granite Manufacturers
Association and tho Union Granite Workers
has already thrown $4,000 persons out of
work. Most of tho strikers. nine tcnths of
them, probably. 1.-Two in New England or In
other parts OF New York than this town.
The existence OF the strike is made pain
fully evident. however, to such OF the
dwellers on this island rs pass along certain
perturbed parts Of West street and of the
Third avenue for few blocks above Forty
second street. The heart of the truckman
IL heavy. and merchants take no joy in
having their places of business fortified
against tho inroads Of customers by walls
Of paving stones, OF course, the Commits
sioner OF Public Works Is powcrlcss in tho
matter. Ho can only await the coming OF
peace between the granite workers union
and the quarrymcns
Meanwhile. that part OF tho public which
tries to follow the history and to form an
opinion as to the merits Of the strike finds
this to DO tho case Tho Chairman OF tho
Executive Committee of the New England
Granite Manufacturers Association says
that the Quarrymcn are out because OF tho
refusal of tho manufacturers to sign the
scale OF wages on May instead OF Jan. l.
The manufacturers say that they must
know by Jan. what wages they are to pay
for tho coming season, so as to be able to
make estimates on their contracts. Secre-
tary GRANT OF the Granite Cutters Union
AYERS that the employers don't make con-
tracts until toward tho close Of the spring.
and that therefore there is no need OF sign
Ing the wages scale on Jan. l. He also AYERS
that the stone cutters are willing to give
the bosses three months notice of proposed
changes in tho wages scale.
It is possible that the struggle between
the Januarians and tho Mayites Is ono
which conceals deep principles behind what
seem but unmeaning forms to tho public.
What is obvious is that one New England
trust is arrayed against another. and that
the people OF New York are put to consider
able inconvenience thereby. The rcpaving
houses Of the Third Avenue and the Broad
way Cable Railroads, the construction Of va
tious private buildings. and tho business
of many citizens whose shops are on Park
row or the Third avenue are interfercd with
largely because stone turned out by the
granite men. who insist upon the January
wage scale. Is blacklisted or tabooed by the
made to suffer for the guilty. We hope that
bne combination or the other may win ut
once, so that the public inconvenience may
not be prolonged. But these trusts and
combinations are obstinate fighters.

Hard Names for New York.

It Is announced that the Society for the
Prevention Of Crime in this city is to hold
b public meeting. over which Gen. WAGER
8wAYNE will preside. at the Cooper Insti-
tute on the Goth inst. and that tho call for
this meeting will contain these words:
Tho object of this compel the police
and other public to enforce tho laws and by
strong expression OF public opinion and organised ef
fort to break down the wekknown alliance which exists
between criminals and officials, thus making possible
for honest officers to do their whole duty without Of
eoal decapitation."
Gen. WAGER SwAYNE is prominent citi-
zen. intelligent. able. and upright. and We
are surprised that he should give his sane
ton to such declaration as is contained in
this call. to the effect that a wel-known al
Lance exists in New York between crimi-
mails and officials.
To say that instances Of official corrup-
tion occur from time to time ia q large
city Is one thing; but to use language
which conveys the idea that tho great
majority OF the officers charged with
the enforcement OF tho police laws are
allies Of criminals. and are. therefore.
virtually criminals themselves. is quite
another. Such charge with reference to
the New York police is simply prepostcrous.
II 1t were true. the municipal Government
could not go on u week. Whatever may be
the offences Of particular of1lcers-and
these cannot be pronounced guilty until
they are proved so--the large majority are
honest. decent men. who try to do their
duty. and who are no more allies OF GRIM
inals than are the members OF tho Society
for the Prevention OF Crime.
But when such corporation as this, as
Stunning 80 much social and civic virtue.
makes SO sweeping charge against the
good character Of the city. what wonder is
there that Mr.. RuDYARD KIpLISG talks
about New York as long pig trough? He
does not abuse the city half as much or
sdtizena.

We are reminded by well-informed cor.

which Is to be built in Kennebec shipyard

The Truth About the Russian jew.

Mr.. ARNOLD WHITE has made careful
study Of tho Russian official statistics re-
lAting to the Jews, and has published the
results Of his Investigations in the May
number Of the Contemporary RerieW Tho
facts which he brings forward are very far
from sustaining the indictment brought
against the Russian Jew by Nine. NovIKoFF
In London and by the jew baiters in Berlin.
They show that the cxpatriation OF the
Jews will grievously impair the industrial
and fiscal resources of Russia. and it is u
reasonable inference that the same quail
tiles which render the Israelites valuable
subjects of the Gear will make them useful
citizens in other countries.
To exhibit the vital and economical effects
Of the presence of Jews. INFINITE has COM
piled o table of statistics from Official
sources, comparing tho condition OF the
population In tho fifteen provinces where
Jews are allowed to dwell-the so-called
pale of settlement~-with tho condition of
the inhabitants Of the other provinces
from which Hebrews are barred out.
We find that the annual mortality
within the pale is considerably less
than 1t Is outside of it. while. ON the
other hand, the annual increase in popula-
ton Is materially greater. The rate OF in
crease OF cattle within the palc is twice as
great as 1t is outside Of 1t. and the rate of
increase OF horses Is nearly ten times as
great. The average capital owned by vii
lage communities per 1000 peasants Is 681
roubles In the pale. while in the outside
provinces from which returns are given 1t Is
only l08 roubles. The consumption Of alcohol

A College That Should BE Stunned.

Last week when DR.. PARKHURsT lectured
to meeting OF young men and excited
them to laughter by talking Of what he
calls his "nocturna. explorations in tenn
plo OF VENUS" Chancellor MACCRACKEN
sat conspicuously on the platform. thus
lending countenance and support to
PARKHURsT's operations. Chancellor MAC
CRACKEN is tho actual head Of the college
on Washington square. known as the Uni
versity OF the City OF New York. 1t is
an institution which was established
for the education OF young men on
the basis Of Christian principles. At
present he Is making strenuous efforts
to obtain for it a large additional endow-
ment. with which to increase and extend
its facilities. He is trying to raise millions
OF money from religious and philosophical
citizens. its existing endowment being in
sufficient for his purpose.
The views and conceptions OF Chnncel-
lor MAcCRACKEN touching the right sort
OF education for young men. and tho
ideal OF propriety and manliness which
should be set before them. are there
fore OF some importance. 1t is well for
the public to learn exactly the moral stand
ard and example of manly character which
he has adopted, and will hold for the study
and imitation OF young men. Now they have
that information. and fathers and mothers
can decide accordingly whether they wish
their sons to be under the influence Of such
al ideal and such rule Of conduct as that
now publicly avowed by Chancellor MAC
CRACKEN for himself and his college,
This ideal and this rule OF conduct he
finds in DR.. PARKHURsr and his vile and
disgusting methods. He would teach
young men, whose education Is intrusted
to him. that deceit is praiseworthy, if
they think their motives are right in
practising 1t. He advises them to incite
crime in order to detect crime. He
justifles them in prowling about the
streets at night. and sneaking into places
of disreputaDle resort under disguise,
for the purpose OF hiring and allur-
ing the abandoned to display of
their deprnSity. He Is for drinking with
them and dancing with them. Inferen-
TALLY he encourages young men to pro-
coed to any extreme OF vico themselves
II 1t can be turned TO profit for detective
ends. However licentious they may be- he
teaches thom that they are excusable and
laudable II their avowed purpose is the
punishment OF those they make to sin. and
with whom they themselves sin. He holds
up before them the lewd and dcbauched de-
tective rs u high and noble type of man
hood. The principle that the end justihes
the means. and that evil may be done that
good may ensue. he procaims as rule
which young men should adopt for their
guidance in life.
Parents who wish their sons to receive this
sort OF education. will know now where
to send them: and II they desire to keep
them from the contamination Of vicious
and licentous abandonment. they know
now that, they should keep thcm from the
college. or nominal university. over which
