MANAGING PUBLIC WORKS.
How the Thing Is Done in Germany
ard a Profit Realized.
New York Evening Post.

New York Evening Post.
In q recent report on German labor cues
tions Mr.. Bragee gives some facts concern
ing the way in which public works are
managed TO the public profit. OF the forty
four largest towns in Germany twenty-nine
own their own gas works. The largest Of
these, measured by the amount of gas
produced. are the three for the city Of Ber-
lin. In Leipsic the gas works return an
annual sum of over 100000 marks G2S0,0c0
while in Breslau the net profit is 4l6. S35
marks Gl00, 0Oe).
Berlin is especially remarkable for the
extent of its municipal industries and the
financial results which IL achieves. As
early as 1847 the city began to establish its
own gas works, and for a time used all
the surplus proceeds for their extension.
In 1868. when the municipal funds showed
a deficit of about 100000 marks, the sur
plus income Of the gas works was paid into
the treasury. The practice has since been
continued. and she sum thus paid over rose

Habits of Crusader COxey.
Pittsburg


"Coxey Is a man of unbounded energy, >
said Mr.. Miller, and undoubtedly one of
the business men in the country.
Anybody who sizes him up for an ordinary
crank will make a great mistake. BY ms
ability and push he has become wealthy,
and yet has pursued a course perfectly con-
sistent with the ideas he advocates. He emf
ploys a large number of men in his stone
quarries, pays the highest wages in all that
country and never had any trouble of any
kind with them. AS has probably been pub
lished, he is a great advocate of improved
country roads,, and one summer, wnen he
had no work for his men, he made them an
offer TO pay their board and furnish horses
and carts free if they would work at haul
ing ashes to improve the roads. They &C
cepted, and by the work done Mr.. Coxey
established a good title as a public bene-
factor in a considerable district.
"All the bankers in MasSillon know him
in a business way, and also by reason OF
having gotten the worst of ii in argumen
with him on financial questions. He often
follows up, the transactions of his business
in a bank by roasting the bankers for what
he considers the evils of their methods.
They take it good naturally, and it does
not prevent any of them from recognizing
that CoXey's word is as good as his note,
and his note as good as that of any man
in the country"

ton of silver. and no change in the pres
ent Indian policy was contemplated.
Mr.. Henry Peyton Cobb. member for the
Rugby division of Warwickshire, proposed
as a compromise amendment to the en-
ployers' liability bill that any existing
agreement between workmen and their en-
plOyers should be excluded from the bill
for three years. Mr.. Henry Asquith, the
Home Secretary, accepted this amendment
as afording. in his opinion, a reasonable
basis for an arrangement.
The Right Hon. A. ]. Balfour, the Con-
sentative leader. said that the Conserva-
ttves would resist to the utmost the IL
luSory pretense of a compromise. he was
certain that the House of Lords amend
ment would be accepted by an overwhelm-
ing majority.
Mr.. Samuel Woods. member for one of
the Lancashire divisions, and a representa-
tive of labor. followed Mr.. Balfour, and
said that. on behalf of 36O. 900 miners he OPP
posed the compromise, declaring that the
miners preferred that the bill be deferred.
as public opinion would soon force 1t
through the House in its original form.
The Right Hon. David Plunkett, member
for Dublin University, speaking as q d.
rector of the Northwestern railway, said
that It was absurd to suppose that the
company would continue its present con-
tribution to the insurance fund If the bill
became law.
The Rt Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, mem
Der for West Birmingham. said 1t was a
~wire-pulling amendment, adding that the
rades union congress die not represent all
the workingmen, who, he believed, dld not
favor the bill, which would not only destroy
existing insurance arrangements but would
prevent future arrangements.
Mr.. John Burns, one of the members for
Battersea, said that he regretted the gov
eminent had accepted n compromise. as If
IL had adhered to the original bill the Lords
must have yielded. Mr.. Burns then warned
the leaders of the opposition that if the
Lords rejected the bill the trades unionists,
numbering 100000, would be Joined by A.
100000 members of friendly societies. Con-
tinuing. MIR. Burns remarked that If the
government stuck TO the bill its majority
at the next elections would be increased TO
$50. This statement was received with OPP
position cheers.
Finally the House adopted Mr.. Cobb's
amendment by a vote of 25 to 213, and by a
vote Of 29 TO 1871 adopted Mr.. Henry AS
Cuith's motion TO omit from the bill the
House of Lords amendment requiring that
claims must be taken from insurance funds,
TO which the employers had contributed
one-third. and involving an appeal to the
law where the funds were not sufficient to
meet the claims and the employers de-
clined to cover the deficiency. The House
of Lords amendments as amended were
then agreed TO and the House adjourned
until Thursday. when the amendments to
the parish councils bill will be taken up.
The unexpected smallness of the Glad
is explained by the fact that twenty Irish
Nationalists were absent and impaired. and
that several Liberals voted against the gov
eminent as a protest against any conces-
sion being granted TO the peers.

Desires of the ParnelIitcS.

DUBLIN, Feb. 13.-At a meeting of the
National League to-day Mr.. John Redmond
said that the only cause for delaying the
release of the money known as the Paris
fund was the technical points raised by the
McCarthyites TO embarrass Mr.. Dillon. Con-
tinuing. Mr.. Redmond said that the gov
m now had a great opportunity, which
it might not have again, of dissolving Par
lament and carrying the country. In Mr..
Redmonds opinion, the government ought
TO reject the Lords amendments, prorogue
Parliament, call a new session Immediately
and pass a new registration bill. Then,
whether the bill passed the Lords or not.
the government should appeal to the coun-
try on home rule and on the Lords mutila-
ton of English bills. If this was done. Mr..
Redmond believed that the Liberals would
