FEWER UNEMPLOYED.
Labor Conditions Are Improving in
New York City.

Labor Conditions Are Improving in
New York City.
New York, Dec. 20.-According to
the world, of 297,S50 workers in this
city, the records show that 92.075 are
out of work. Last year at the same
time 125,375 were idle.
Ernest Boehman, secretary of the
Central Labor union estimates that
nearly 100000 persons are in enforced
idleness now. This estimate is prob
ably very near the truth, for If the
81. 600 shown to be idle in the Worlds
figures be added to the many clerks,
accountants, etc, who are seeking
work. the total would surely reach
100000.
Comparison show that so far as the
number of employed is concerned the
situation is a marked Improvement
over that of year ago. More men
by thousands are at work. Within
several weeks there has not been so
much building as now. In some IN
stances walking delegates have been
unable to find a sufficient number OF
workmen for employers.
The increasement of employment
has come, for the most part. TO skllleu
labor. The only striking increase 70
unskilled labor has been in the RANKS
of Iaborers on streets and for con-
tractors. The same story is tolu at
labor bureaus. The most interesting
comnarison i'm this line is offered by
tho figures of the free labor OF the as
Sociafion for improving the cOndi-
f., Of tbe hours. The books show
tbot in december this year, 491 per-
sons secured employment through this
bnreau while in December, 1896. but
263 places were secured.

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.

Washington Letter, Pittsburg Dispatch
| have been "a close observer OF the
operation of the reformed or partly re-
formed, civil service during more than a
dozen years of life in Washington, and
can say from personal knowledge that
the Improvement of the service is inn
measurable. There is not tithe of the
drunkenness and Incidence and shirking
of work that obtained under the spolls
system. Not only is the intellectual
standard raised immensely, but the moral
standard as we'll There was a time that
it was almost IA reprOach to woman 70
receive an appointment to the civil SER
vice through political influence Scandals
in such connection We're SO frequent that
they became monotonous. Now there is
nothing of the kind. The departments
are swarming with women of the highest
character, an honor TO their sex and to
the service, conscientious in the per-
formance of every duty, with an average
Intelligence, education and breadth OF
information much higher than that OF
any other class of women in the coun-
Try.
The men know they are appointed to
work and not for political reward. They
know their tenure depends on their e!t-
cheney and not upon the duration of Il
party in power or the influence Of a poll
tiCian. They are careful in their habits,
in marked contrast to those who served
under the old system, ana are vastly
more able to perform any clerical SER
vice that is required of them. The only
inefficient men and women in the service
today are those who are not i'm the
classified service and who know that their
tenure will probably end with the end Of
the administration. TO great extent
these men are worthless loafers ana the
women iilers, living example of what
the service would be if the denunciatiOus
of the system We're TO take practical form
i'm the repeal of the laws.

OUR NEW NAVY.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Since the work of reconStruCting the
navy of the country was begun in 1880
there has been no break in the construc-
ton of new war vessels. Regularly every
year congress has authorized one or more
additions to the navy, until we now have
more than seventy new steel ships, in
Guiding torpedo boats, either in commits
sion or in course of construction. This
is a good, indeed almost remarkable
showing, considering the short period
which has elapsed since the commence
ment of the new navy. Moreover, it is
a fleet of vessels of which, for its size,
the nation may be proud, since all are
splendid specimens of the types to which
each belongs, and many are far superior
to similar ships of any other country But
fine as these lighting ships are, and how
ever much superior they may be to SINH
lar war vessels of other countries, there
are not yet enough of them. The navy
of the United States need not perhaps be
as large as that of England, or of one
or two other first-class Powers, which
are forced to maintain great fleets to
preserve their existence but 1t should be
very much larger than it is before it can
be said to be perfect and adequate for the
thorough protection of American inter-
ests at home and abroad.

Horse Sense.

There was wholesOmenesS and decid-
ed practical value in the advice given
the other day by Hon. Theodore Roose-
welt before an audience of college fra
ternity men. He spoke as collegian
to collegians, but what he said merits
the widest publicity. 1t was substan-

hold in contempt those amiable men
who sit down at home and talk about
what can be done in the way OF puri-
flying politics, but do not go out and
attempt to accomplish anything. Such
men make the machine possible and
necessary. Nothing is more needed by
the academic man than conflict and
contact with the outside world. Don

TOO many of our academic friends

| long faces, say that the good old days
of pure politics have gone forever. You
who find fault with the practical polit,

Tile Proper Spirit.

We like the tone in which Senator
Platt of New York, concludes an eu-
ogistic comment on the inaugural ad-
lregs with the words: "The Repub-
licans of New York are as anxious as
those of any other state to see sue
cess follow in the train of the admin
istraton. President Mckinley will be
Loyalty supported by us"
While no person of judgment sup
posed that his attitude toward the ad-
ministration would be other than
friendly, it win discount irrespons-
ible tittle-tattle to have his opinion
thus plainly announced from the very
beginning of his second career in the
senate. The opposition which Mr..
Platt, Senator Quay and others led
against Major McKinleys candidacy
for the st. Louis nomination was in
no sense personal: and it became en-
bittered, never against him, but only
against the factionists who in some
localities used his name as a shield
for ulterior and selfish purposes The
nomination made, these stalwart lead
tlS proved tnelf ltpuDllCdnlSln ny
loyal party service promptly and ably
rendered, and stand ready to prove
it again whenever occasion shall re-
quire.
The fact that the new president is
aiming to heal up factional dssen-
sions wherever he can offers an eX-
cellent example to the party at large,
Honorable harmony is everywhere to
be commended. The good results hoped
for from the present administration
should not be embarrassed by uncer-
tainty and wanton party strife
