The action OF the mayor in directing
the chieftof police to refuse GLOBE re-
porters access to certain of the police
records is deserving OF the severest con-
domination by every true citizen. While
the GLoRE, by reason of its political
complexion, may not be in sympathy
with the administration, and not eX-
pected to be, and while IFS main object
in causing these records to be examined
might be to obtain material for indulg-
ing in structures of the administration,
yet it has perfect right to do this, if it
so chooses, and II the police department
is being properly administered 1t should
not hesitate to invite the most search
ing investigation. COncealment of any
portion of its records from a reporters
eyes should be entirely unnecessary to
convey the outward impression, at least,
that its affairs are being conducted with
ability and integrity, to say nothing as
to the real truth concerning the inner
life of the department. While it is true
that the GLOBE has never seemed to
manifest the most undying affection for
the head of the present city government,
yet our impression is that whatever it
has venIured to say in criticism of his
acts has never been successfully con-
troyerted. 1t has generally been care
full, if we mistake not, to confine itself
to the hard factS-whateve it may have
suggested concerning the motives.
This much Is due to the GLOBE, in JUS
tice. Now, if theiGLOBE OR any other
newspaper of this city desires access to
the police records, for whatever pur-
rpose, it is entitled to see them. and their
,concealment or suppression by the au-
thorities is in itself confession of In
competency, and deliberate insult to
the taxpayers OF the city, whose right is
Ito know how we'll or how lily their
servants are performing the duties with
(which they are entrusted. But what
miserable apology from mayor as the
one with which this community is now
infested?

Space forbidS quoting the Instances he
gives of wages in various occupations at
these several periods, but they cover
about all the leading vocations IN the
country. In order to draw from the
mass Of figures fair conclusion, he as
Sumes 100 as the wages paid in 1860.
Measured by this and averaging the
wage paid in twenty-five industries
taken from the pay rolls of abouts ai
hundred establishments. he finds that
wages stood at ST. In 1910 as compafed
with 100 in 1860; at 1924 in 1866, and i'm
1891 at 1907. To meet the objection
that simple average of all would notI
give accurate results, he averages 'the
figures according to their importance,
each industry relative to all industries
as represented by the number employed
in each" On this basis, taking 1860 as
100, they compare. 1910 at S2.5, and 1856
at 1856 and 1891 at 1886. -asa
Turning to the other branch of the
Inquiry to ascertain the real wages
that is, what change there has been in
the purchasing power of the money
earned-he takes 223 of the leading
articles of consumption at their whole
sale prices, allowance to be made for
the difference between them and the re-
tail prices which were not suffic iently
uniform TO base conclusion on. Aver
aging these and taking those for 1860
again to be par. or 100. he finds that
prices in 1910 were 97.7; in 1866. 1877,
and GA in 1891, or fall from 100 in
1860 to GA In 1891. He thus determines
that what men have got on all average
for their labor has largely Increased
since 1910. and the quantity of what
they could buy with the money has also
increased.
10 make concrete Illustration Of
what this means in the economics of
workingman's daily life, he takes a
carpenters wages in July of each of the
four years named and ascertains what
quantity of the enumerated articles he
could have bough: with them, the
prices being, OF course, the wholesale
rates. For the purpose of simplifying
the problem, let US suppose that the
carpenter bought in each of the years
named pounds of Boston crackers of
fair grade, 5 pounds Of butter, 215
pounds of cheese, 2 pounds of fair Rio
coffee. dozen eggs, 1-barrel of flour,
pounds of fresh beef, pounds of bacon,
gallon New Orleans molasses, pounds
of graduated sugar, 10 yards of Coche-
co calico. half ton of anthracite
coal, and that he paid one weeks
rental. All these articles would have
cost for the years named. respectively,
S10.22, sl0.73, S21.66 and S12.17. His
earnings in July of these years were re-
spectively 80, sl2, S21 and S21 a week.
In 1910, after paying the bill for the
articles, he would have been in debt
S1.22; in 1860 he would have left s1.27;
in 1866 he would have been in debt 66
cents, while in 1891 he would have had
1888 to spare"
1t is just such demonstrations as this
that are needed to counteract the enor-
nous amount of misinformation now be-
ing poured out from silver sources rel
alive to the effect of the depreciation of
that metal on prices OF everything.
What men want are facts on which to
form their judgment; not assertions and
prophecies. @

Success at the Grand.

There may be no plot to ''Hoss and
HOSE" but there certainly is all endless
amount of merriment evoked by Willie
Collier and his comedians in its pres
entation, and seldom if ever has a
farce-comedy been seen in this city
where one laugh followed another with
such rapidity. Golfers quiet, unctuous
humor, added to his clever dancing,
makes him host as Judge boss, while
Helena Collier, as the tough girl, is
more than clever. She is great. This
performance does not depend upon one
act, one speciality or one person; it's
success is due to the witty lines, absurd
situations, and, above all, the clever
stage management that directs 'Hoss
Hoss," and keeps the players up to
concert pitch all the time. Matinee to-
day, and all the rest Of the week.

able on many grounds. Under such
system there would be no limit to pro-
duction. Miners would convert all their
bullion into coin. and after it was once
introduced 1t would be difficult to reduce
the supply. The same depreciation in
value that now exists would enSue, and
that depreciation would be permanent.
Overproduetion will reduce the value
of any commodity, no matter what its
character. And If the free coinage of
silver were permitted. year would not
elapse before 1t would become drug on
the market, and people would refuse to
accept it in payment of either labor or
merchandise. While it would. perhaps,
afford temporary profit, In the end 1t
would be an injury to the silver pro-
ducers. And not to them only, but to
every person in the United States who
was compelled to handle this debased
and prostituted metal.
Ii, however, the pending legislation
is as favorable to the silver interests as
claimed, there should be no longer any
delay in passing it. All those who now
oppose it should wheel into line, retract

tempt to create distrust of its effects in
the minds of its supporters will meet
with utter failure. The reported dis
eovery will prove to be mares nest.

THE LAST RE SORT.

Detroit Tribune.
Great pearly tears welled from her
blue eyes and rolled down her damask
cheeks. With trembling lip she listened
to the critical words of the man with
side whiskers and goatee.
Yes" he was saying, in a harsh
board of trade voice, you don't seem
to improve any in spelling"
The girl shuddered.
And you leave out whole words, to
say nothing"
She shrank away with a look of
despair upon her face.
-"Of the fact that you understand
everything wrong"
Then l am not a success as a type
writer?' she asked, TREMENDOUSLY.

She faltered. and her glance sought

The affair was compromised on those

SONG OF THE STARS.
When the daylight fades in the evening

And the blue melts in the gray,
We pitch our tents in the ornaments
To guard the milky way.
And we gather the broken sunbeams up
4 That the day has left in its path,
To kindle and build the glow, and gild
What our sparkling campfires hath.
With fond caTesses we jewel the tresses
OF the moon as she mounts the skies;
And the heavens we sprinkle with many a
twinkle
That leaps from our sparkling eyes,
But when the storm cloud rolls his car
In thunder across the sky,
And the lightning dashes in fitful flashes,
We hide till the storm goes by.
The sun is our master, and no disaster
Can come to his night of rest;
For with constant eyes on the dim horizon
We guard the east and the west.
We sometimes find where the comet hides,
And we frighten him out of his lair,
Till he speeds through the night like fox
in his fight,
To his home in the great nowhere
We sometimes pause in our journey because
We see ourselves IN the glass
or the silent lakes or the sea that takes
Our picture as we pass.
But when the daylight quiyers and breaks
And the gray melts into the blue,
The tears we she'd DER our fallen Gead
are found in the morning dew.

Democratic party in that city, why are
tae Bourbons making war on Daven-
portism?' The fact that pernicious
system is powerless to harm in any
given locality does not make that sys-
tenn right. That the federal election laws
place it in the power of .unscrnpulous
men to disfranchise legal voters is alone
sufficient reason for its repeal. whether
that power has been used or not. A
venomous serpent may live for years
among human beings without singing
them, but some time it may strike its

has survived the bite?

IN THE THEATERs.

Thomas Seabrooke and his excellent
company, numbering over three score
people. played to large and sympa-
1thetic house at the Metropolitan last
night. "The Isle of Champagne" is
comic opera of more than ordinary
merit, and in the hands of Mr.. Sea-
brooke is particularly we'll handled.
The opera is replete with bright things,
and affords all evening of most enjoya-
BILE amusement.
3 The scene is laid on the Island of
Champagne. King Pommery Sec'nd,
poor, and hampered by. revised consti-
tuition, is making desperate attempts to
replenish his treasury.
I The only liquid to be had on the
island is champagne, until ship owned
by Abigail Peck, of New Bedford.
Mass, is wrecked just off the coast.
The king soon discovers that this ship
has large amount of water OH board,
to obtain possession Of which he marries
Abigail, as last resource. His queen
becomes insanely jealous of beautiful
Puritan maiden, with whom Prince
Kissingen is in love, and the king, in
order TO De able TO give his consent to
their union, which he had promised not
to do while he renamed king, abdicates
The throne and makes the young people
happy.
Seabrooke himself is a comedian of
great cleverneSS and versatility. His
best song occurs in the last act-a song
in various dialects and very cieverly
done. An irresistibly funny bit Of work
is the scene in the second act where ne
Just escapes delirium. OF the other
members of the cast decidedly the most
important and best is Miss Elvia Crox, a
young woman who sings, acts and
dances with vim and chic that are
particularly charming. Walter Allen
as the prime minister was very good,
while Juliette Corden as Priscilla is a
very pleasing if not particularly demure
Puritan maiden, She renders her songs
with the very best effect. The premiere
danseuse and ballet are giving most
superb satisfaction.
