army Of unemployed workmen should be
glad TO get Job even at reduced wages,
looking forward TO better pay when the
strinrency Of the times has passed away.
Probably at this time q man can support
himself on Is cents q day. and for dollar
day he can keep family supplied with
the necesssries Of life. II he can get no
more. and II he will not take 90 little, he will
get nothing. Why should he not consent to
the reduction II merchant has stock OF
goods which he must dispose Of. or go with
out money. he puts down his prices rather
than not get rid OF them. But Labor
reasonably breads the establishment Of the
precedent OF lower wages. II wages once
get down. they are likely to stay down. II
the standard lie lowered for particular
emergency. the chances are that 1t will
remain lower after the emergency is
over. After employers have been getting
labor at dollar day, they will fight against
an increase to two dollars or three dollars
q day when reviving prosperity gives them
the opportunity TO recoup what they have
lost during the period of strinRency.
We question, therefore. whether Labor
would permit the practical execution Of the
plan proposed by DR.. Corr. 1t is not prob
able that prosperity can be stimulated thus
artllcially. The only possible cure for the
present evils is the application of sound
economic aud political principle. The
truest philanthropy is to defeat the WILL
SON Tariff bill as a measure conceived in
treachery and fraught with danger to
every Industrial interest. It Is. to obey the
will OF the people and give them an honest
and constitutional tariff for revenue. just,
equal. and uniform. Meantime. let every
body who has money to expend In employ
ing labor. proceed to expend it in the full
measure rendered possible by his means.
not taking undue advantage OF the necessi-
ties OF the people.

Wonderful stories OF the exploits OF Eng

told in the English papers. One OF the most
thrilling OF these stories which fills four col
umns OF the London Times. Is about q certain
English Captain. who. with handful OF men.
gave battle to . horde OF blacks. At first the
blacks got the better OF their assAilants, all Of
whom, with the exception OF the defiant Cap

lsnRed them TO Tight killed two OF them with
his double barrslled gun. and then pulled out
his revolver with which he blaEed away ct
them until at last he himself Was shot In the

This is tip-tOp eAmD story. The English
papers have printed plenty OF other stories OF
the kind during the war In Africa 1t is story
that would have given delight to old HOMER
though we think the Chan bard could have
told 1t In less space than four columns OF the

Of llS West Forty seventh street. and Henry
A. Martin. cotton broker. OF 1853

fore the Excise Com mIssioners that the
character OF the hotel was bad and I'M
worthy OF licensing. Con. Porter testified
that no had seen men and women who came

street lights. He had also heard college boys
raising racket in the street in the wee small
hours. Some of these students raised dis

Porter said that he had never visited the hotel.
Joseph Dillon. who is Secretary OF the Prop

frequenters of the hotel.

Among the organizations In the city
which are striving to relieve the needy in this
emergency is the Tammany Society. 1t has
given help to thousands this m onth. In nearly
every Assembly district II not in every one,
q relief fund has been raised In the name of
Tammany. and means are offered to people in
want. regardless Of party or creed or race
Each OF the districts gives heed to the suffer-
ers within its own confines. under the direc-
ton OF captains who know the sources OF sup
ply and seek out the abodes OF Indulgence.
Many OF the members Of the Tammany So
ciety are actively engaged In tho benevolent
work carried on by the charitable organiza-
tions and the churches. so that 1t might be
supposed the charity fund OF Tammany would
not be largo; but as n matter Of fact IL has
already proved to DO Unexpectedly large
When Mr.. RICHARD CROKER spoke about the
subject at the meeting OF the Tammany Com
mittee on Organization In Tammany Hall on
Thursday OF last week. we presume that he was
aware OF the charitable activity OF many OF the
members OF the com mittee; but very likely he
was surprised by some OF the offhand reports
that were presented. From district after dis
trict It was reported that thousands Of dollars
had been raised. and that tho work OF distrib-
uting supplies was going on. He addressed a
few remarks to the committee. urged them to
continue In their efforts as long as 1t was neces-
sary to do so. suggested that every election
district should work under the direction OF its
captain. and advised each captain to search
out all cases OF need and give them prompt at
tention. Tho work OF relieving the DOOR" he
said. should be prosecuted by Tammany
even more theoretically than the work OF
politics"
The advice he gave was judicious and hui
mane the method he suggested was practical;
the propositions he made were at once adopted
and put into effect
Even the most relentless enemies OF Tam
many. or at least every one of them who has
human heart In his bosom. must admit that its
kindly service In this emergency is thing for
which 1t does not deserve to be abused. We
are not aware that the Tammany Society has
blown any trumpet. or been boastful. while
performing this service

Employment for tho UnempIorsd.

DIR, STANTON Corr Of the University Set
Element Society contends that the city
should provide employment for the unem-
ployed. saying that II work is not fur
nished to them to do. SO that they can sup
port themselves. the public will soon be
obliged to support great numbers of them
in the almshouses. at an enormous expense.
DIR. Corr estimates that the number Of
working people unemployed in New York Is
now 5000. Other estimates put it as high
as 100000. and, with the cessation OF the
holiday activity OF trade. the multi
tude is likely to increase slargely before
the winter 10 over. This means that the
supply OF labor will be 80 much greater
than the demand as that presumably 1t
can DO obtained at a reduced price, and
that the unemployed will have to take work
st any price they can get, until the period Of

Perhaps there will be better times before
long. There is already less depression than
there was while ago In Colorado Minnesota,
and other States beyond tho Missouri; there
is not very much in Vermont. New Hampshire.
or Maine; thore is less than there was In the
States OF the South. including old Kentucky;
there 10 not as much here as there was even a
month ago. Tho clouds that lower over the
country do not look SO black as they looked at
the setting In OF the winter.
The Americans never settle down in the
dumps. even though the Administration be
hebetudlnOus. and Congress fatuous and
legislation nugacious. Tho energies OF the
people. and the resources OF the country. and
the majesty Of the flag. and the benencence Of
the skies. are indestTuctible.
We should not wonder II 1894 should turn
out to be a far more satisfactory year for
good many people than 1898 has been. The
whirligig OF time never stops. not even when
obstructed by hebetudinosity.

Chiko and Johsnns, the two ehimpansees in
Central Park. came In for ofiicisl notice on the
part Of the Park Board At the meeting OF the
Commissioners held yesterday morning. 1t
seems that there are those In this city who
contend that these interesting animals are not
ehimpanzees at all, and that they are therefore
i'm posters and have been providing entertain
ment to the multitudes under false pretences.
The Park Commissioners were unable TO
deny these aspersions on the characters Of
Chiko and johanna, and Com missioner Dana
therefore moved that Prof J. A. Allen Of the

auested to make q scientific examination OF

whether they are chimpanzees. gorillas. or lust
plain apes. This resolution was adopted and
It is hoped that the pretensions OF Chiko and
Johanna will soon be indicated.

ositiOn to obtain possession OF the lot on the

Park in memory OF the mem bers OF that or
Ranizatlon who fell in the late war ana Secre-
tary Burns was directed to ask the association
to furnish full description OF the proposed

Mr.. j. ]. Coogan appeared before the Board
as q representative OF the property, owners
north. OF 155th street. and urged the Com:
missioners to allow the Union Railroad
across the Seventh avenue bridge through
l35th street to Washington Heights and
Fort George. In answer to this request Com
missioner Ilausen read from the special act OF
the Legislature providing for the construction
OF the bridge section which prohibits the
laying OF any tracks across the structure The
Board further declined to endorse any bill
fayorng the laying OF such tracks.
Mr.. Coogan then wanted the Board to hurry
on with the work OF building the new speed
ployed.
The Board also decided to invite proposals
for removing 10000 yards Of rock from the ap-
preach to Maconb's Dam Bridge at 153d street.

Kings and Queens.

Prom the very beginning OF this republic
the policy OF annexation has been the policy
Of the Democratic party.
Perhaps now. when we have Democratic
Administration. which has borrowed it's
policy OF taxation from tho opposing party
Of Republicanism. It is consistent that we
should turn our backs on tho principles
enunciated by MARCY and BUCHANAN.
Perhaps this republic would have grown
great and powerful without the Louisiana
purchase. and without the annexation Of
Texas. The far-sighted statesmen of the
era in which those accessions OF territory
were made. thought differently. They
struggled against powerful political oppo-
sition. to bring about the result.
Perhaps they were wrong. Perhaps
America would have done better IL 1t had
remained under the domination OF polit-
ical forces which kept it from the chance
Of fighting contrary purposes with the
power OF a great and consolidated repub-
lican empire. In the economy OF the uni
verse IL is better that the weak should be
conquered.
The people Of this country are troubled
at this particular period with doubts as to
their immediate political future; but are
they disposed on that account to give up
the business Of governing themselves and
turn 1t over to savage sovereigns whose
only title to dominance Is the hereditary
title they derive from cannibal ancestors
Perhaps we are all wrong. Perhaps our
theory of government Is false. Perhaps we
would be better off with King or Queen:
but until we come to that conclusion. we
shall not set ourselves to work to put
King or q Queen over other people.
