enjoy a salary of $4,000 year. in view
of ;hese things II is hardly necessary TO
say that the municipal politics OF Great
er New York VIII be interesting.
We observe that the police department.
the fire department. and other such de-
partmcnts will be governed by commis-
sions. That IS the modern way. The
Mayor VIII appoint the heads Of all NUM-
cipal departments. save the Comptroller.
The Mayor. the Comptroller, and tho
Municipal Assembly. consisting OF
Council OF twenty-eight members and
Board OF Aldermen OF Jos members. are
the only officers TO be elected by the peo-
pie. That puts a mighty power in the
hands OF one man. but the modern idea is
that through the system above outlined
II is easier 10 Get competent men TO con-
duct the city's affairs than through n
scramble at the polls where IT too often
happens that the good fellow" gets more
votes than the man of merit. 1t Is I'M

peor lie are after him, and arc trying to
reduce him TO his lowest terms.

PREJUDICE AGAINST CORPORATIONS

When ex-President Harrison says that
nearly the whole business Of the country
is done by corporations. and that their
organization was invited by the people
themselves, he states fact which no one
is disposed TO ignore. lie might have add
ed that the work Of these corporations
has been in the main highly beneficial. and
tina. no other form Of organization yer
devised is so effective as the incorporate
JOint-stock company.
The complaint which is made. and made
with reason. is not against corporations
in ger eral. but against the lawless and
fraudulent acts of such corporations as
attempt TO take advantage Of public ncccs-
stiles or to control public policies.-New
York World.
That IS not true. There is a growing
prejudice against what is popularity called
''the money power" 1t matters not
whether it be a corporation or an indI-
vidual, If there is an accumulation OF
money. there is a corresponding preiu-
dice from certain quarters against it. We
may remark. too in passing that the
World. and papers OF its class that cater
to "the people" are largely responsible
for this prejudice. Why did the World
make such an ado about the fact alleged
that Russell Sage lent his nephew fifty
dollars to complete his house and secured
himself by a mortgage upon the house7
And why did the Journal print an abusive
letter the other day about Mr.. II. b.
Plant, who has done so much 10 develop
Florida? What was the meaning Of the
cry in the late campaign against gold
bugs" and "Dlutocrats"?
The prejudice IS we say, against aggre-
gated wealth. Even now there IS a des-
perate fight IN the Illinois legislature
against department stores. and bill has
been introduced in the same legislature
TO prohibit corporations to engage in any
kind OF retail business.

sence OF the Hon. John T.. Massey, State
Superintendent Of Education. and Mr.. J.
A. McGllyray, Secretary Of the State
Board of Education. Both OF these gem
tlemen were expected, he said. but had
sent their excuses. Mr. Massey was out
CT town on official business, and Mr. Nc
Gilvray was detained at home By the
very serious illness OF his father-in-law.
Supt Russell then made a brief. but
stirring address 10 the teachers. and in
troduced to them Miss Lilly Fox. one Of
their number who read an essay OF her

AIR ptII.FY,S TARIFF VIEWS.

Hon. Joseph w. Bailey. Democratic
leader Of the House OF Representatives.
made a very favorable impression upon
Richmond audience when he spoke here
last May upon free silver. and If he had
not tied himself TO that financial error
he might now be OF immense service to
his country His views respecting the
tariff are sound to the core, and so, In
deed. are those Of Mr.. w. ]. Bryan. The
Washington correspondent OF the Baiti-
more Sun makes the following statement
Of Mr.. Baieys views. He says:
Mr.. Bailey has pronounced views upon
the subject Of tariff legislation. ana ne
does not care IL they are not concurred
In by all his colleagues. He CONTENDS
that so long as the principle OF protection
Is recognized so long will tariff legisla-
ton prove n failure. He believes, he said
TO a representative OF the sun, that re-
venue should be raised by means OF
tariff but that duties should be imposed
upon all articles alike according TO their
respective values. For this reason he op-
poses free raw materials. He believes
that until a tariff bill based upon this
principle. Is passed the tariff question
must remain in a sense local issue
as much as possible for Its own indus
tries. II is upon this line that he viii
argue in the present debate and in future
tariff campaigns and he firmly believes
that n platform based upon the princi-
pies Of radical reform Will eventually re-
store the Democratic party TO power.
These are statesman-like Views. I'm
pose all the duties that the revenues re-
quire, but impose them upon all imports
alike and Danish the pernlcious protec-
tive idea Of free raw materials" That
Is protection I'm another form. We conf
mend TO Mr.. Bailey to stand firmly upon
this ground. and then add to It the cog
nate one that an income tax, II we have
one, shall be levied at the same rate upon
all incomes. When he gets there. as he
must do sooner or later. with his views
respecting tariff. he will soon afterward
be drawn into adopting the idea OF
single and inviolable standard OF value.
which will pull the scales of OF his eyes
and he will repent him Of much Of his
talk about free silver. Then he Will real
~ be in position TO lead Democratic
party in the House. At present he Is cut
off from the effective arguments against
the Republicans by being unable TO tell
them that the country's calamities are
largely due to the alarm which free sill
yer caused capital Oh. that we had
a Democratic leader in the House who
could stand up now and proclaim that
true Democracy that is involved in the
idea NJ enual rights and equal Justice for
all, rich and poor high and low alike.

II - DON WELL.
We are gratihed that the Manchester
Council has given its consent TO the low
ering Of the free bridge in the prosecution
Of the proposed work OF the Chesapeake
and Ohio Railroad Company. not simply
because the work is to be worth so mur>i
to the community. but because II would
have done cur sister city untold harm for
II TO have gone out to the world that the
railroad company wanted TO expend two
millions of dollars I'm improvements In
this community and was not permitted to
do so because Manchester would not grant
the right Of way.
We fully appreciate the fact that the
Council felt in duty bound to protect Man
chester's interests and that action In
not 10 be taken hastily. We think that
the Council has done its duty throughout,
and that 1t has acted wisely and discreet
ly. 1t deserves, as we believe it will have.
the approval OF all men who believe in
progress.
AS to the work. we have every reason
TO believe that the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railway Company is acting in good faith.
and that It will lose no time in beginning
active operations.
1t will be a great thing for Richmond
and Manchester. and the present and
future benefits are incalculable.
