THE CITY's UNEMPLOYED.

The police census Of the city's urcm-
ploycd tells We that over sixty-scven thou
sand persons are out of work, and ov"r
t%hirty-nine thousand families are in need
OF assistance
This is indeed n sad disclosure. II proves
the immediate necessity Of prshinS ipr-
ward all those public improvement 81
which the city has already decided. and
Of prompt action for tho revival Of the
business OF the country. so that private
enterprise may be- called back into tho
field In aid OF labor. 1t also shows that
the noble work OF charity which has
done 80 much good this Winter must not
vct hc relaxed. but must be continued
with increased activity.
In such an emergency Il Is
discouraging to find Democratic Rep.
rcscntativrs in Congress, some Of
thom from this city. running away
from their post Of huty and ob7trIcting
the business Of legislation by leaving tho
House without y quorum at such n time.
because they are unwilling to commit
themselves on the Iia Saiian question.
Every hour OF the session Of tn" Ma.
tional Legislature should he devoted to
attempts to better the condition Of tho
laborinE classes and to restore the pros.
pcrity of tho country. Yet, first on one
paltry Issue and then on another, We
find the majority of Congress. including
many New York members, ncglccting
their duty AMI abscnting themselves from
the House. designcdly. to play into the
hands OF the Republican minority.
The police report is a forciblc reminder
of the necessity OF n speedy settlement
of the tariff question. so that tn" conf
dcnce of capital may he restored and the
business interests Of the nation may be
relieved from the present depression.

The Mckinley Bill Did H..

To tho Editor:
Right after the Mckinley Tariff bill went into
eject the wages Of workmen Of the mostly highly
protected industries were cut down considerably,
which fact, l think, Is still In the memory OF
everybody; but We were then told by Republicans,
to give the bill a show OF two years or three. and
We would see how It would work. Yes. to-day
Va can plainly see how 1t does work. We had
little cause TO complain OF dull business from
1884 TO 1883, and II the Democratic party had not
been interrupted by the Harrison Naturalization
which gave us Mckinley law. Sherman law. &c,
We would now have no stagnhtion In business.
which resulted largely from the enactment Of the
above laws. We certainly would now have as
good times as during the nrst Administration OF
Grover Cleveland, perhaps better. Having been a
protectionist At that time. I am nov in favor O.

In spite OF the statements made TO the

Of the charges made against the Fire

A fine distinction is drawn between the

When Commissioner Of Accounts Wahle

they might be instructed later to depart

examiners reported the results OF their

added. they will ~ report. and then we

The reporter pointed out that some of
the ex-Fire Commissioners charges were

been paid for supplies. Commissioners

He replied hat they would not.
