"The entire difficulty might have
been avoided had arbitration been re-
sorted to previous to the declaration
of the strike, are the exact words OF
the report of the committee of the
New York Legislature which has been
investigating the recent street railroad
strike in Brooklyn. This is about
the same as the 81 told you SO" argu-
ment, and something known to every
body after its all over, but why not
find some of the things out before 80
much damage has been done.
But arbitration was not even sug-
gested and as consequence 5000
men lost their places not 500 OF whom
have recovered employment, $3.50, 600
in wages was sacrificed and the city
aud State went to the expense of S275,
OOO in preventing disturbance and
destruction of property.
The time for arbitration should
come in the beginning aud not the
end, and both employers and employ
es should find this out and it is the
modern method OF settling all differ
ences private, state or national.

various persons in Georgia were at
temnting to recover million-dollar in
heritances in Europe. Not one ever
succeeded. They spent what money

were swindling them, and that was the

A Anovelty that is as old as the hills
in other cities is just being tried for
the first time in this city, namely, the
police patrol wagon system. Why it
has not been tried long before is n
great mystery. For humanity's sake
if nothing else, the wagons ought to
be in use. What more disgusting and
disgraceiul sight can be imagined than
TO see drunken man or woman fairly
dragged through the streets, exposed
to the morbid gaze Of motley throng
1t might happen that it was some un-
fortunate's first offence, and in mo-
ment of unlicensed ebullition of an
imal spirits, superinduced by Five
Point whiskey, some petty offence
might be committed that would result
in his being locked up. The most dis
tressing part of the whole thing is that
this individual who was forced to run
the gauntlet of the curiously inclined
public, would be so thoroughly over
come by shame and disgrace that it
be just the means Of starting him on
downward career. A little human
itarianism shown in such case as this
would not go amiss.

Tammany Is just now trying to pull
itself together. The fragments that
were scattered far and wide seem al
most out of sight. and those even
family recognizable appear rlyited to
the spot and there to stay. \ hopeless
and thankless task it may prove, but
evidently there are n few more scnlps
lying loose around town that would
be worth gathering in before the vie
tory may be complete. The first step
in the reorganization of Tammany
was taken when the members of
the council of sachems OF the Tam
many society were elected BY this
the Gilroy faction was left without
representation, and Richard Croker
will continue to be the leader
of the organization, with Hugh j.
Grant as his representative. Mr.. Grant
assumed this position by making a
statement of his views Rs to the proper
course to be pursued in strengthening
Tammany Hall.
This is one of the planks in the plat
form of the organization. at is not
the time for democrats to stand still
and comment upon the composition of
the board of sachems. 1t is the time
for democrats to get together and help
make an organization under the roof
and rules of the old Tammany Hall
which shall work for the clean and
honest administration of municipal
affairs, which shall labor to overthrow
the hypocracy which has beclouded
the eyes and minds of the people of
this city, and which shall place the
government of the city of New York
once more in the hands Of New
Workers."

ANY corporation becomes interest
ing when it becomes powerful enough
to control the police of a big city like

the company and the police. Surely
the "pull Is u powerful one. No one
can tell how many accidents have
occurred ON the Broadway road, or
how many lives have been crushed out

it for somebody, but who for and how
much is something to be found out
