A NEEDED REFORM.

The Dock Department is run under n
srecia. law, making It's management diff
ferent from that of any other depart
ment In the city government. For years
The Evening World' has pointed out
the evils of this special system, and the
e~xpediency Of a change tina would bring
the Department under rules, regulations
restrictions and responsibilities similar to
those enforced In all other municipal Of
fees.
The Dock Department makes no pro-
visional estimate of Its yearly expenses
to the Boar% OF Estimate and Appor-
tionment. 1t is not subject to the SUI
pervision of that body in any of it's ex-
penditures. 1t has entire control of its
WI money. 1t makes its own contracts
and does Its own work. Its running
expenses are paid out OF the proceeds
OF bonds. and thus do not enter into the
yearly tax levy, but are an addition 10
the permanent debt Of the city. This
makes the annual budget OF the yearly
cost Of the city government a decep-
ton and a fraud. because 1t does not
truthfully represent the years expendi-
lures.

JUST WHAT 1T A.

A determined effort Is being made at
Albany to defeat the bill Incorporating
the Peoples Loan Society, of New York.
The question involved Is a very simple
one. The pawnbroking business Is run
for the convenience of the poor alone.
No one has dealings with the p~awnhroker
unless he Is in want Of money. and the
poorer a person is the more constant
are his visits to such establishments.
Nine-tenths of the customers are those
who are compelled TO pledge articles Of
clothing from week to week for trifing
sums OF none and TO redeem them as
they are needed
For all these loans for short periods
the borrower has TO pay at the rate Of
thlrty-s!N per cent. per annum This Is
the rate Of interest for the first six
months. while the rate for the next six
months or any portion OF a month Is
t~wenty-four per cent, making the rate
for a whole year thirty-per cent.
The Provident Loan Society. established
by philanthropic people with plenty Of
spare capital. proposes to make loans
at about one-third this rate Of interest,
or twelve per cent. per annum This
will be OF great benefit to the poorer
classes. whose necessities compel then
10 make and redeem small pledges very
constantly. Moreover, the pawnbrokcrs
charge a full months interest for any
portion OF a month, which the Provi-
dent Loan Society Will not do.
Pawnbrok!ng Is a money making bust
ness. and will be seriously inte.fered
with by this benevolent enterprise, SO

A TRIUMPH FOR LABOR.

1t does not all run In favor OF capital
and against labor. A decision Of the
United States Circuit Court in Omaha
yesterday, In the Union Pacific wage
schedule case, Is "A great victory for or
ganized labor, and will be hailed with
satisfaction throughout the country.
The men employed on the road pro.
tested against the orders Of the receivers
cutting wages. and insisted that their
rights under the regulations. in record
ance to which they were employed, must
be respected and observed by the receiv-
ers. Judge Caldwell. who delivered the
opinion, In which Judge Reincr concurs.
pays IA high tribute to the character and
usefulness OF the labor organizations os.
tablished throughout the tnion Pacific
system. and to the fidelity and efficiency
Of the employees. He holds that receiv.
ers are bound by the rules and regula-
lions In existence under "A corporation
prior to their receivership. II he holds
that the allowances made by the schcd-
ules now in force are reasonable and
just.
The Judge expresses the hope that in
future all differences between labor and
the courts, as represented by receivers,
at least, VIII be settled by reason, and
not by passion; by the law, and not By
violence; by the courts themselves, and
not by strikes. The decision, OF course,
Is hailed with rejoicings by the men all
over the line.
