"a man may acquire moro than 100000 under

get possession of some Of the wealth created by

he has created should revert to the people

Tammany's Rampant Organism.

The only real enthusiasm displayed ut
the Fourth Of July celebration at Tam
many Hall was provoked by references to
Bryanism and the part that organization
took last year In support of the Chicago
platform. Otherwise 1t was a lifeless meet
ing, unless tho Misses for GROVER CLEvE-

ity. They suggested that Mr.. SHEEHAN

celebration was ga danger point for Tam
many" but that ait has been passed in

paign will be fought out on questions per-
tanning to the government Of the city"
OF course, that campaign will pertain to

there would be no campaign and no election

fest at Mondays celebration hat the only
issue which can give life and aggressivaforce

the issue Of Organism. Without it Tam

the zeal and enthusiasm Of it's following.
From it alone will come the spirit necessary
to give vitality to its campaign. That waa
made evident on Monday.

proved how impossible il will be to avoid
that danger point" II they could not be

carefully schooled to refrain IRON them, lest
they should interfere with the game OF

by any trick of evading the Chicago plat
form. All the fire of Tammany's municipal

Shop Girls Salaries.

Some interesting facts In regard to the
salaries paid to young women employed in
shops in this city have been brought to
public notice by the Cooperative Home for
Girls, Nc. 34s West Fourteenth street.
The Homo was founded In 1893 for small
salsried working girls. It YVES moor
poratod last year, and at present occu-
pies . largo, ell-furnished house, which
accommodates thirty-two girls comfortably
at . cost Of $3.50 to % . week. Only girls
are received whose salaries are @7 Q week or
less, and when out Of employment they arc
permitted to pay for their board in service,
the only condition Of entering being good
reference as to character. Tit matron,
Miss RAPPELYE, says:
-Most Of our girls receive from o. - %. G. course
We do NOT taho them II they mako moro than 81. but
few sven in the large dry goods stores mako more
than that. And many work in factories and shops
for % or %. Bookksspoz1 and accountants ordinarily
make % or %. and the business schools are turning
out continually glasses Of typowrite1 who are glad
TO work for % q week.
"out Of this thsy must pay board. laundry. car
fare. or walk miies 70 and from their work. besides
being expected to dress well and neatly every day.
"one girl hore now makes only o3.26. and We have
occasionally had girls over 10 years old who worked
from Monday morning until Saturday nightfor $3.50.
IN IL for such cases that the Home provides, and.
needless TO say, It IL always full. We hope 70 Be able
TO extend the work soon not By enlarging this Homo,
but by establishing another on the same basia- The
institution Is soif1upporting. with the exception OF
rent, which Is 01sb Q month. This IL the only expense
Of carrying ON the work"
A charity like the Home appeals strongly
to benevolent impulses, but the question
suggests itself whether reducing the price
Of board is the wisest way of improvingt the
condition Of underpaid working girls.
The thirty-two of them who arc assisted
by the Home are able to compete success
fully with their less favored sisters, and
thus they help perpetuate the evil from
which all Of them suffer. Many girls,
already, are boarded by their parents. If, In
addition, kind hearted people contribute
money to increase the number of those who
are thus partially supported, it will be i'm.
| possible ever to raise the scale of wages to
a point at which the recipients Of them will
DO independent Of outside help.

Tho Cities and tho Legislature.

The aggregate vote cast in Now York at
the election of last November was 1925
600. To this total the territory of tho
enlarged New York city contributed $751;
600. Under the existing Legislative appor-
tionment this city has thirty-fve members
of Assembly. Brooklyn has twenty-one,
Richmond has one, and the first district Of
Queens county, which includes Long Island
City, has also one. making q total of fifty.
eight. The total membership of tho As
sembly under tho new Constitution is 100.
The city Of New York. therefore, as en-
larged, will have not much moro than one
third of the total membership.
Heretofore, under the present Constttu-
tion, elections for members Of the State
Senate have taken place in years a~lternat.
Ing with those of the election Of members
of Congress. The term for State Senators
has been the same as for Representatives in
Congress, namely, two years. This year
there will be no election of State Senators.
Under a provision of the amended Conati-
tuition they hold over for another year. The
only election Of Legislators will DO for
members Of the Assembly.
Buffalo had i've members Of the last As
sembly. Albany three. Rochester three,
Syracuse two, Troy one. Oneida M and
Poughkeepsie one. . total Of sixteen.
