MUNICIPAL REFORM.

In an instructive address delivered
last Friday evening before tho Amari-
can Academy Of Political and Social
Science, in Philadelphia. Editor e. l..
Godkin. of the New York Evening
Post. outlined his ideas Of tho munici.
pal problem that, in greater or lsss de-
gree, Confronts all American cities;
that is, the problem Of transferring the
control OF city government from men
who are often, as class. illitOrate, dis
honest and careless to men who can
bring 10 its discharge personal probity,
comprehensive intelligence and the
prestige of individual business SUCCESS.
Mr., Godkin, to bo sure, presented no
new thoughts, nor did he give 30 much
time to outlining practical remedies as
he gave to painting In dark color3 the
difficulties already familiar Yst some
thoughts Of his ara Of present interest,
and will continue to occupy growing
share of public attention ultil the
abuses in question shall have been in
some manner overcome
Mr. Godkin discerns prophetic signs
of coming deliverancs from the condi-
tion of acquisscsnt apathy in which

specting taxpayers at one psriod CON

WAGES GOING DOWN.

Those Democratic journals which
are making partisan arguments OF each
new iron mill resumption neglect to
dwell upon the important fact that al
most without exception these revivals
Of suspended industry are accompanied
by sweeping wage reductions. While
a hslf-loaf is better than none, in this
time Of Democratic depression. It is to
be rsmem bsred that never once during
the thirty years Of Republican admin
istration did there occur such an alb
rnpt drop in the earnings Of labor as
has this year been preeipjtatei by Dem.
ocracys threatened tariff legislation.
Il has never been claimed by Protec-
tonsts that the enactment Of a low
tariff law would pc rmansntly suspend
the industries of this country. " has
been contended that it would msteri-
ally embarrass them, and that it would
inevitably necsssitats a sweeping re-
duction in wage scales; but, that &C.
complished, production must necessa-
rily resume. The present experiences
is an ample yindication OF the sound
uess Of this argument. IL is, in fact,
an ocular and n mathematical demon
stration having, in many instances. the
cumulous force OF direct and palpa-
BILE personal illustration. IL the people
of the United States desire lower wages
without q corresponding decrease In
the cost Of living, they should again
make manifest their approval of the
Democratic tariff programme. But II
they dissent from the practice OF the.
ory whose threatened enactment into
law leaves them daily poorer by $40,
900. 600, they should eviDce in no uncer
tain manner, their repngnancs t.
further experimentation.
1t remains to be noted in addition
that these contemporary reductions In
the wages Of labor. occasioned by this
prolonged threat of hostile tariff, are
unaccompanied by corresponding re.
ductious in the financial obligations o.
labor. TIE man who owed 81, 600

CRIME IS CONTAGIOUs,

The evil influence Of bad example
is frequently shown in current annals.
Thus since the publicity given to tine
S:roudsburg lynching we have had one
local ebullition Of attempted similar
lawlsssnsss, fanl several distant oues.
The fniing at Plains, Saturday, Of the
body Of q man who had been shot by
unknown assassins appears to have
corresponding effect in stimulating i'm.
i,atiys crimes, and the mex: day, with
in a radius of six miles, occurred one
successful murder aud Il shooting and
stabbing atfcay in which two persons
are reported to have received fatal in
jlries.
While it cannot be scientifically de.
moustrated that the suggestion Of these
later crimes was impaired by publica.
lion of the details of the former ones,
there remains no moral doubt of the
fact that crimes ara contagious; and
tia: The ssei Of lawlessuss' planted in
Que place, brings forth harvests Of
criminal impulse covering widespread
areas. Thus an additional weight Of
responsibility is laid upon the should =
ers Of those officials who. by their in
difference or insuiiciency, give oppor
t1aity for the original crimes to be-
glaringly and conspicuously COM
mi;tad.
We should like to believe, in this di o.
raction. that the brutal prizs fight said
to have occurred Saturday near Wyo-
ming borough had no connection with
the prize fight once conducted put

accessories, both before and after the
fact. But probability is strongly in
favor Of close bond of relationship.
