ates, of course that there has been a "sal-
airy grab'-it seems that the net increase
in the salaries of the public officials since
1856 has been s.. 47J, 125 OF this amount
nearly one million is the item of salaries OF
officials in the gas department, which, prior
to 1856, was a private concern. This de-
duces the general increase by a million: and
makes the showing less startling. Again,
one of the large increases is in the matter
OF expenses of the public schools, the adj
ditions amounting to S95S,626 There is no
department of a citys government that
can so economically be expanded as that
which relates to the education of the chill
dren, and if this million of dollars more is
properly bestowed the investment will in
Some, perhaps many, of the other Increases
can also be reasonably accounted for, for
the city has grown much in the past ten
years. yet there remain quite two millions
of an increase that, in view of Philadel-
phia's decidedly malodorous municipal re-
IE the absence, however, of specific accu-
sations alleging fraud. it may nationally be
suggested that Philadelphia is doing what
many short-sghted communities have failed
to do, namely: is paying out a sufficient
sum for salaries to secure employees who
are worth all the money they get. AS a
general proposition the salary list of a
large municipality can safely be regarded
as sure index of the cty's prosperity.

There have undoubtedly been some very
corrupt ways and means invoked in Phila-
delphia by the politicians who have secured
control of that city's affairs during the
past few years, and most of the complaints
of the citizens alleging extravaganza and
misrule are well founded. But there is
cry being raised now that. while it may be
inspired by genuine desire for relief is
of questionable force when certain facts
are taken into consideration. One of the
Philadelphia papers recently printed a start
ling story showing by figures that the
salaries of the city officials had grown by
millions of dollars during the past ten
years. This fact of itself might serve to
startle and even horrify the honest tax
payer, who is forgetful of the fact that the
city of today is tremendously greater than
that of a decade ago, and that with the
enlargement of the city's bounds and popu-
lation the duties and responsibilities of the
officials in charge have grown. 1t is a fact
that the average municipal salary is small
compared with the tasks that are imposed
UFcn the ottice-holders. There are sine
cures, to be sure, in every municipality, as
there will always be in every system of
public administration and indeed in many
private corporations. But the number and
value of these easy places are being di-
nirished. The great growth of the news
paper press has tended to keep the public
well-irformed and alert In respect to these
matters, and few officials with large sala-
ries and little to do can hope to enjoy their
soft places very long undisturbed by
public clamor

An actors protective association is one
of the probabilities not so very far distant,
for there is evidence abroad that leading
theatrical managers are preparing to com
bine for the purpose of bringing about rad
zeal reduction in the financial recompeTse
for which actors, in common with other
people, so vigorously strive. One of the
leading managers in New York. discussing
this matter, says:
We have good deal of complaint about
the price for seats at May of our first
class theaters. Even the wealthy classes
object to paying 81 for orchestra chair,
and record a mental protest every time
they do so. and they are perfectly right.
1t is too much money to pay for an even
ings entertainment, especially just now
when all kinds of business are depressed.
But they make great mistake in casting
all the blame on the managers. As a mat
ter of fact, a first-class performance cam
not be given in our best theaters with the
present scale of actors salaries unless this
price Is paid for the choice seats. The
general public has no idea of the eXorbitant
wages paid to some of their favorite ac-
tors. They are far in excess of all reason
when the amount of work rendered for the
money is considered. and they have reached
this point simply because managers in
stead of combining and acting together
for their own interests and that of the
public, have engaged in a cut-throat game
of competition for certain men and women
of the stage"
That the actors who are of the first and
second or even the third class will tamely
submit to any considerable slashing of
their salaries is not at all likely; the odds
are largely in favor of a fight in which
the public will be deeply interested. Or
ganization, however, will be extremely diff
cult. for actors of all degrees are more
frequently rivals than associates and
throughout the profession there is a not
entirely unnatural feeling of individual
superiority that will. so long as it is openly
apparent, be an obstacle to mutual union.
The manage will have no such difficulty
to deal with and 1t is understood that al
ready have combinations been made that
may soon result in the presentation of
solidly-economical front by the employing
class. An inf1exible salary-scale would be
absurd. but it is announced upon good
authority that maximum rate will be es-
tablished for each line of business and
that when the scale becomes operative the
ater-goers will at once receive substantial
benefits Says the same New York man
ager Just quoted:
when salaries are brought down to
reasonable figure managers can afford to
place the price of seats in the theater at
such a rate that man of moderate income
can afford to treat his family to 4 night
at the theater without impoverishlng him
self The reduction has got to come, and
the sooner 1t comes the sooner theatrical
business will improve and the actor will
find himself the one most benefited. for
a few such seasons as the last two will
leave the majority of players without an
occupation.
That sounds like sensible talk, but what
will the actors say?

Isn't II about time for the American peo-
pie to protest against scientists and lay
observers from other countries character
izing the people of these shores as being
nationally nervous? 1t is undoubtedly true
that in the building up of a country. in the
creation, 1t were, of a great community
and the spreading of enormous interests
over an equally enormous territory, some
Americans have fallen into habits of quick
thought and action that, being wholly sur
face conditions, are apt to give foreign
observers wrong impression Of the gen.
eral condition of things here. 1t is to be
suspected that these Characterization have
In a measure pleased and perhaps tickled
the egotism of the American people them
selves, who maybe have felt honored by
being 50 distinguished from the rest of the
world. 1t is barely possible that Americans
have a laundering after being called ner-
vous, busy and excessively active, just as
some children delight in being classed as
mischievous and irresponsible. 1t is a
questionable sort of distinction to be sure
but it seems to be the vogue. ard as long
as there is demand on the part of the read
ing public for such transformations, scien-
lists and lay observers will doubtless con-
tinue to supply it with observations and
essays in which the terrible tension on the
American nerves is wildly pictured Now,
a matter of fact, II Is seriously to be
doubted whether the striking of an average
of all classes and conditions of people on
this continent would not produce a result
far different from that which IS popularity
accepted, and which is the theme of so
many frightening utterances by learned
men, who are grayely warning the Ameri
can people that they are living at too fast
a pace and that they are threatened with
a national disease. 1t may be specifically
pleasant to some minds to be SO warned
Just as it would be gratifying, perhaps, to
certain people to be spoken of as belonging
to a nation of fighters or nation of stu
dents, etc. 1t may be racial pride that
contributes to this effect but it is curious
phenomena, whatever the cause. Now it
has long been established that nervous
imagination Is one of the most potent fac
tors in producing disease, and cons titutons
are often shattered by the bare suggestion
of infection or of primarily harmless all
ments. So it is not beyond the range of
possibility that this constant hammering
away at the notion of the rational nervous
ness of Americans may put the people into
such modes of thought that in the course
of few decades what is COW true of prob
ably only few classes may become true
of the entire nation, by virtue of sort of
reflex action.

The people of this community may prop
erly cong 'atulSte themselves upon the
well-aivanced plans for reform that are
now receiving the close personal attention
of citizens who have seen the evil of such
promiscuous dispensing of charity as has
been common in the District of Columbia
in times past. With the arrival of every
winter have come reveal lions of poverty
that invariably called for liberal contribu-
lions of money, of food, and of clothing,
and until the severe weather was at an
end there has been continual agitation in
order that human beirgs-sometimes wor-
thy and sometimes unworthy-should not
suffer because they lacked what was essen
tial to existence. 1t was hap-hazard sort
of proceeding at best, and in the struggle
which has been an annual feature of life
il Washington many deserving people have
been crowded out by the persistent unde-
serving who were heard because their vo-
liberation knew no end so long as there
was bounty to be distributed. A number of
public-spirited citizens have resolved to do
all in their power 20 prevent local repeti-
ton of the so-called relief efforts which,
while praisewor thy because the motives
were of the best. were entirely out of har-
mony with that true philanthropy which
refuses to encourage idleness and will not
promote pauperism. Because of this city $
openhanded benevolence there have periodi-
cally come to the District of Columbia con-
siderable numbers of comparatively worth
less people who, receiving no encourage
ment elsewhere, naturally drlfted here to
be subsisted upon supplies contributed for
the relief of those whose necessity resulted
from misfortune. The plans approved and
about to be put in operation will effectually
discourage professional idlers and will at
the same time preserve the self-respect of
those who are unwillngly in need of ma
terial assistance. The able-bodied will be
given opportunities to labor and to lay up
for themselves and those dependent on
them at least enough of food to render
anything approaching starvation impossi-
BILE. Hitherto the big-hearted people of
Washington have by their manner of CIV

extremely undesirable accessons to the
