AFTER CITY ATTORNEY DUNN
frick Brothers Call Him Down in
PeremptOry Terms
They Say That His Demand on Them for
Alleged Defective Sewer Work Is
Not Well Advised

Frick Brothers, the contractors, have
addressed the following to City Attorney
Dunn:
We beg to acknowledge the receipt of a
communication dated the oath inst, en-
anating no doubt and forwarded from
your Office, in which you make demand
upon us for the sum of $7l6.95. claiming
said amount is now due and payable to

claim of some alleged defective work
being done by us on the Hollenbeck ar
royo sewer, which We constructed in Jam
uary, 1892 We desire to ask of you by
what authority you make such request?
You seem to think that because the coun-
ell of said city did, by motion adopted
by it, instruct you to make such re-
quest of us, that you were in duty bound,
as the legal light of said city. to stoop so
low as to allow such a request to be made
through your office. Knowing iqll Wen
that in neither legal nor M oral sense
the city is not nor never was creditor
of ours. even to the extent of one dollar.
If YOU desire to go into detail concerning
the alleged bad work done on said sewer
W. are ready at any or all times to inter-
view you on the subject, and no doubt
you could gain some very valuable infor-
nation by SO doing, which would after
full consideration on your part, convince
you fully, as we believe, that you have
oyerstepped the bounds Of reason as well
as of law. We conclude by saying that
we shall hold you strictly accountable for
the part you have taken in this matter.
And if you believe for moment that
your being elected to the office which
you now hold gives you the right OF
making such demand upon us. and
that by such demand you will ingratiate
yourself with the public, you are GER
tainly mistaken.

This happy deliverance suggests the query why
the same principle should not be applied to all

disturb the gayety of nations. For example,
there is the game In the Far West, over which
the white settlers and red natives have been
ouarrelling Let it all be killed off. Then there
will be no further occasion for dispute. How
could the United States Army be better en-
ployed? And, indeed, why not settle the Indian
question itself in the same way? That question
is troublesome one. But il there were no
Indians it would not exist. Therefore, let the
Indians be exterminated
To bring the matter little nearer home Here
are the trees in our parks and elsewhere. what
a lot Of trouble they cause We have to protect
them against the would-be creators Of vistas"
in the parks, against telegraph-wre men In the
streets, and against bugs and caterpillars every
where If there were no trees. we should be rid
of all that bother. BY all means, then, let the
trees be extermnated. And while we are about
II, let the parks go, too. AS long as we have
them we shall have to keep fighting for their
preservation, against people who want them for
horse racing tracks, and elevated railroad ter
mnals, and othe' things. Let us abolish the
parks altogether, and be rid of the nuisance.
The streets, too. are an interminable source Of
vexation. 1t Is hard to keep them clean, and
there is always some wrangle about who is to
Use them for car-lines, something Of the sort.
Why not abolish the streets. and let our much
yexed minds have rest?
Alice's Queen in "Wonderland' was your true
philosopher. Whenever any one gave her Of
fence or caused the least annoyance, she applied
the invariabe formula 'Off with his headr' and
the problem was solved Let observe what
We too, have done in Behring Sea, and take
courage. Whatever causes us trouble, let us ex-

THE RUSSIAN JUDENHETZE.

When Nicholas III succeeded to the Russian
throne there were those who hailed the dawning
of new era in that benighted land Under
standing the new Car TO be man OF gentle
mind they looked for an enlargement Of civil
liberty and for some degree of religious tolera-
ton They failed to take into account the in
nuences which surround the Gar and are more
powerful than he: the traditions and the system
which make every Russian monarch necessarily
a despot. and which can be shaken off only by
revolution. While the notorious Pobedonostzef
is Procurator of the Holy Synod, such thing as
religious liberation in Russia is impossible.
Nothing more clearly shows the utter vanity
of all those expectations Of reform than the pres
ent attitude Of the Russian Government toward
the Jews. If Alexander III chastsed those long
suffering people with whips, Nicholas II is chas-
Using them with scorpions. The infamous May
laws of 1881 have not been repealed nor relaxed.
They are being enforced with increased severity,
in every instance being interpreted in the harsh
est possible manner. The Jews have been driven
into certain towns, and certain quarters Of the
towns They are forced TO remain there crowded
and cooped up so that it seems a mockery to
call their existence human. They are forbidden
to engage in any business outside Of the specified
quarter. Under ALEXANDER Ill tney were per
mitted to go elsewhere, on passing certain high
and difficult examinations in learning. That
rule still exists. But under Nicholas III 1t has
been practically nullincd by forbidding the Jews
to acquire higher education. No college or high
school il allowed to have more than per cent
of Jews among its students; In Moscow and St
Petersburg not more than 3 per cent. This rule
prevails In towns where 80 per cent Of the people
are Jews
In various other ways the persecution Of the
Jews Is being pressed more vigorously than
ever Then, with perfectly fiendish malevolence
the Government blames the Jews for the effects
Of It's own acts. 1t denies them school privileges
and dcnounces them for their ignorance. 1t de-
stroys their business and will not let them work,
and curses them for their idleness. 1t shuts
them up in the ghetto. like rabbits In warren,
and then rails against them because filth pre-
walls and disease breaks out among them. 1t Is
frightful example Of medieval barbarlsm in
the closing years Of the nineteenth century.

THE LESSON ABOUT WAGES.

Unhappy indeed are the people who can gather
no harvest Of wisdom from misfortune The
American people have probably learned more
from two years Of disaster than they would have
learned from twenty years OF prosperity. Best
and most fruitful Of all the lessons they have
learned is this, that the prosperity of all busi
ness depends upon liberal but not excessive
wages of labor.
The qualification, mot excessive needs care
full Interpretation. Wages so high that works
cannot be operated, because Of competition from
other domestic or from foreign works. obviously
injure those who pay and those whe receive.
II the mills cannot run, the men get no wages in
fact, no matter how high may be the rate fixed.
1t Is equally true that many establishments are
able to only part time because wages have
been fixed so high that competition deprives
them Of half the markets they might have Sc
cured. When the puddlers few years ago de-
manded and obtained wages so high that great
quantities Of steel came to be used instead Of
iron, being relatively cheaper, the puddlers did
not really gain anything. 1t Is also true that
wages high as TO leave no reasonable profit
for capital are never benefit TO workers In the
long run. Unless capital gets fair returns more
will not be invited into the same work. and per-
haps part of the capital already employed may
be withdrawn. In consequence there will not be
larger demand for labor in that kind Of work.
and 1t may be less Unless profits remaining for
capital sufficient to attract more capital into
the same business, so that 1t may grow with the
growth Of the country. the conditions cannot be
beneficial either for capital or for labor. and
labor must suffer most in the end If any branch
Of industry Is rendered Improbable.
The top line Of wages, then. is that which
leaves the cost Of production low enough TO with.
stand competition, domestic or foreign. and also
leaves sufficient returns for capital to invite
other capital into the same business. But below
that top line higher wages benefit the whole
country. and anything which tends to depress
wages Injuries the whole country This Is the
lesson which the people have been learning since
1892. One might suppose 1t so simple and obyi-
Gus that ii must have been understood long ago
without tin strain and suffering Of National dis
aster, but the fact is that millions OF voters and
many employers had entirely lost sight Of 1t, II
they had ever perceived the truth and its impor-
lance Disaster compelled everybody to see that
a people earning $6OOO,OO0.OOO yearly cannot
buy as much as the same people can buy when
earning $S,0O0,OOO,OOO yearly. When general re-
duction OF wages was forced In 1893, the actual
earnings Of labor In the United States were cut
