Decentralization.

The nnanciers and comm srcal-men of
the world are studying the question OF
over-production. if we may judge from
New York Journal Of Commerce. In
the former We find the following:
lis il not true that With all the new
inventions and modern improvements II
is possible for manufacturers in any line
to so increase their output as to vastly
extend production over the most lavish
consumption? And as invention will con-
tnue to devise methods for more and
more rapid production, will not the ma
tural consequence be that, In order to
prevent over-production. manufacturers
will have to unite for the purpose OF
curtailing production so as to hold IL
within the limits of usual and healthy
demand? Or would II not be better for
all interests TO reduce the hours OF labor
to six or eight hours per day, or TO the
point at which production should just
keep pace with demand?'
All these propositions are based upon
the assumption that the evils OF over
production could be corrected by the
means suggested in the above paragraph.
Nevertheless. 1t is refreshing 10 read
in such a paper as the Journal OF Com
merce the following article. 1t means
nothing more than that the best thinkers
in the world are cropping in the dark on
the questions touched upon by the Jour
nal and it's correspondent. Read:
I'VE are i'm the midst of great eyolu-
ton in methods of production. which is
gradually revolutonizing the relations be-
tween the several parties TO production;
and for ourselves we are far from feel
ing sure that those parties sufficiently
understand the causes and the bearings
of these changes in conditions TO wisely
reconstruct their relations. Possibly, re-
adjustment may tend in each one Of the
directions indicated by Mr.. Newton; but
II would be premature to force present
tendencies into any form Of settlement.
There are factors in the case on which
past experience throws no light. and
which have been little considered I'm the
past prescriptions OF political economy;
and, rather than reconstruct in the dark,
We had better wait awhile-eyen II that
implies some cropping in uncertainty-un-
Ill the masses, whose Will decides so
much, better understand the drift of the
Times and the great remodelling that
srst come from the now imperfectly
compi ehended causes. Ii Is rule OF
experience that legislation in the midst
Of revolution is always violent and de.
rnging: that rule might apply in case
of an attempt being now made TO radi-
..iIy readjust the relations between labor
and capital. Waiting may be irksome;
bat Ignorant reconstruction would be dis
as,rous Meantime discussion ana sng-
gestion are timely.

Tn. national Convention.

whilst New York Is talking about going
10 work to secure the Democratic Ma
tional Convention. Chicago Is making
ready TO claim the Republican conven-
ton. In the end we shall doubtless hno
both cities seeking to secure ootn con-
ventions.

II seems to us that New York ana
Chicago are the two most suitable CITIES
for the national conventions. Wheh !"
is remembered that from one to TWO
hundred thousand persons usually attehu
these conventions, or at least go 10 'he
cities where they are held, II shouiu pc
nlain To every one that none but very
large city can accommodate the conven-
tions suitably. And then. as we nave
often said before. when the delegates

they wish TO 20 TO the greatest city IN
the country. 1t Is a sort OF EXCURSION
educational excursion-for them. ana the
more they are permitted TO see ana near
the better they like 1t. AS for the IA
dating" influence OF a national conven-
ton. il is not what IL used to be. The
modern system Of reporting and teie-
graphing and publishing the proceedings
of the convention puts the people OF the
whole country upon the same footing
nearly. The city where a convention Is
held has some advantage In getting the
"inside" news OF the body; but the rest
Of the cities OF the country are about
on a par-inasmuch as the result or
every vote is instantly telegraphed all
over the United states and to foreign
lands as well. So the radating influences
OF a convention do not count for much
but IL they are worth anything. we
should like to see them utilized FOR all
that they are worth in New York. be-
cause the Democrats cannot hope 10 win
unless they can carry that great State.

Municipal Troubles.

II ie unfortunate that the agitation for
changes in our city charter did not end
AT the primary which took place on DC
tober sth. The judgment OF the people
then and there rendered was Unmis-
taxable. and ought to have been left I'M
disturbed. At least that is the common
opinion. but IL il an opinion In which
the City Council does not join. for III 1T
did IL would not now be demanding that
the Board of Public Interests be shorn
Of its strength
The Council does not read the lesson
of the primary az the public reads 1t.
That lesson. as popularity understood, is
that this community is satisfied with the
way our Police and Fire commissioners
are appointed. and wish no change made
in the charter The people are content
TO let well enough alone. Not so, how
ever our City Council. The Council
desires TO absorb the powers now con-
ferred upon the board and cut the board
out of all participation in the nomination
OF the Police and Fire commissioners.
But it will not be permitted TO have
its way There will. of course. be a con-
tention before the LEGISLATURE, and in
all probability the result will be that
the petition Of the City Council will be
rejected.
The City Council wishes to have ex-
elusive control of the work Of selecting
the commissioners. and resents the in
reference of the Board Of PUBLIC In
terests. Yet the members OF the board
are appointed by the City Council Yes.
every man OF them is appointed by the
CITY Council. The Chamber Of Com
merce has no hand In these appoint
ments. What is more. while the Board
OF Public Interests consists OF eleven
members. six of these members are also
members Of the City Council. while five
are "citizens'-citizens who are not
members Of either branch of the City
Council.
What the Council wants is to rid itself
OF the advice and assistance of these
five citizens, for we take it for granted
that it does not object to any recon-
mendation which comes to IL from its
own members.
If the City Council will persist In ask
ing for "a change in the charter to ag-
grandize itself at the expense of the
board, it will incur the suspicion that 1t
is seeking to undo the work Of the
last Democratic primary 1t will also
incur responsibility for whatever trouble
follows in the wake of its proposition.
The people were content to abide the
decision of the primary and should not
have been disturbed in their content
ment Now our old fight is to be carried
to the Legislature. and who knows that
it will not be carried from the Legs
lature TO the municipal election Of next
spring?

An Important Firing Test.

An important test has been made re-
Gently at Indian Head. which will have a
bearing on the construction OF the new
battle ships. over which there has been so
much contention. 1t was claimed by the
chief of the ordnance bureau that the
eight-inch guns would be rendered useless
in an engagement in which the vessel had
her bow or stern toward the enemy, be-
cause if fired over the turret containing the
large guns the blast from the rear guns
would kill the men in the sighting tower.
Capt. Sampson ordered the test made by
having an eight-inch gun fired over an
inch steel plate, the thickness of the plate
designed to cover the sighting tower. The
muZzle of the gun was twenty-four inches
above the plate, and the first charge bent
the plate down in the center four inches,
while a second charge still further bent
the plate eight inches on one end and nine
inches on the other. This plate was about
five by four and a half feet and the sup
ports were equal to those that could be
placed on the ship. Tbs test has caused
the officers of the ordnance bureau to re-
new their assertion that the conclusion
of the eight-nch gun would kill the men
at work in the upper portion Of the tur-
