THE MAYOR AND THE PLEDGE.
imperialist tocsin

\ VIGOROUS and persistent efforts now being
v made to induce the Supervisors to increase the
appropriation set apart for the Fire Department
in the estimates for the coming year recently reported
by the Finance Committee Protests against any
ducton in the effective force OF the department come
from all quarters and it is not to be denied that in
many respects the arguments OF the protesers are
we'll founded. II, however the estimate for the Fire
Department be increased there must be correspond
ing deduction made from the appropriation OF some
other branch OF the municipal administration, the
dollar limit pledge must be broken.
To obtain counsel and advice as to the best means
of providing adequately within the dollar limit for the
needs Of all departments OF the city government the
Supervisors have referred the estimates to the Mer
chants Association for consideration. The judgment
OF that association will undoubtedly be valuable. The
members OF it are who have long taken active
interest in municipal affairs and strenuous sup
porters OF progress with economy They desire to
an efficient administration OF the city, liberal policy
of Improvements in streets, parks and other
public works, and they also desire the maintenance Of
that dollar limit pledge to which most OF them
bound by their public declarations clearly as
the Supervisors by their campaign promises
The Merchants Association, however, is, after ALL
an unofficial body. 1t has not been charged by the
responsibilities Of office to make thorough and COM
prehensve study Of the relation of municipal finances
to the work Of administration. The counsel it will
give will doubtless be excellent but cannot be final
The Supervisors after receiving the report from the
association should hold for the consideration OF the
Mayor That officer chief executive OF the city is
charged with the duty OF investigating all such mat
ers and his advice ought by all to be sought
and obtained by the Supervisors before they fix the
estimates and the appropriations for the year.
The expediency of consultation with the Mayor is
exceptionally strong in this by Of the fact
that Mr. Phean is not only Mayor of the city, but is
and has been ever since he entered Office the most
conspicuous advocate in public life of the dollar
limit. He has repeatedly asserted that de-
rived from rate of 81 the $Ioo the basis OF
assessed valuation of taxable property of $35oooo
ooo would be amply sufficient for all the needs OF the
municipality. He has insisted that it would provide
not only for the maintenance in unmpared vigor of
all departments OF the government but for such i'm
provements the progress of the city demands.
1t was because Of public confidence in these
tions made by Mr.. Phelan after two years in office
that he reelected Mayor in election in which
his party suffered overwhelming defeat. To him,

DOMESTIC SERVICE IN BOSTON.

FROM a time so remote that the memory OF man
runneth not to the contrary there has been a
sound OF lamentation in the United States over
the problems of domestic service, and the burden Of
the wailing has been that American girls, through
false pride object such service and refuse to per
form it. Now, however, there comes from the East
story OF nature so contrary to the old it has
all the interest of genuine surprise party
In recent number of the Independent Mrs. Eliza
beth Stuart Phelps Ward who lives in the vicinity
of Boston, asserts that in the present chaotic cond-
ton of American society many woman in domestic
service may be as well born and we'll educated
her employer. Hundreds of women ready to en-
ter kitchens and in dining who would not
have considered such step possible fifteen years
ago"
In proof Of her assertion Mrs. Ward cites her own
experience and says: Some time since advertised
for woman to do the housework OF my family and
received eighty applications, of which not than
two three were from professional servants. Dress
makers, clerks, saeswomen, widows, nurses stenog
raphers, respectable American women by the score,
were ready to ask admission to a home where they
would be we'll treated and perform its toughest du-
ties The widow OF physician, well-bred lady, her
self accustomed in her past life her servants,
applied to suburban household for permission to
carry on its domestic work. The same day brought a
similar request from teacher educated in three OF
leading institutions-one a college"
This story is proof OF much more than OF the point
it was cited to prove 1t is evidence only OF
the breaking down OF former prejudice against domes
tic service but also OF the increasing severity of the
struggle for existence in the older States. When an
educated teacher graduate of three of the leading
institutions OF New England, and manfesty indus
trious and willing to work, has to seek and almost
beg for employment servant, it is evident condi-
tions have changed since the days when the
poorest American girl scorned to be a servant and
would hardly consent to be help
Mrs. Wards statement is surprise indeed, and the
surprise is pleasant 1t changes the aspect
OF the servant girl problem however, in important
respect. Since college-bred girls have taken to
service for living, it is clearly the duty of the
ploying class to meet them half way and make the
living worth having.

THE COMING YACHT RACE.

I NkPORIS concerning the trials made by the 90
~ lumbia and the Shamrock give reason for be
eving the coming yacht race will be the best
ever sailed. Both the chaengers and the defenders
seem we'll satisfied with their boats, and apparently
have good reason for their satisfaction.
The Columbia not only made successful run in her
trial trip but since then has been matched with the
Deender that held the cup against the Nalkyrle and
has shown herself be eeter and better yacht in
every respect than that famous and victorious craft
The last contest between the two in re-
spects unfortunate nasmuch both yachts sailed the
wcng course but the error did not in any way pre-
vent fair of the comparative merits OF the two.
The race was sailed a twenty-six mile course,
and in covering that distance the Columbia outsaed
the Defender by three minutes and thirteen seconds
Granting the Defender a time allowance of two min
utes the Columbia will still have the victory by more
than minute From the results of the trial experts
draw the conclusion that since the Columbia wins
over twenty-six mile course by that much time in
her present condition. she can, when properly tuned
up by next September beat >the Defender a
thirty mile course by much as five minutes, which
is all that is required OF her.
While the Columbia is thus satisfying to the expec-
tations OF Americans the Shamrock has given hardly
less satisfaction to British yachtsmen. She has not
yet been tested in against fleet yacht OF the
first Glass; but her trial trip has been remarkably
ported to have said: eve have flyer We have a
yacht much better than anything before known here
Ii the Americans beat they will have to work hard
for it. They are not going to have a away
triumph"
From all reports it appears the Shamrock, much
more than the Columbia, is novelty in the way OF
yacht construction. In this contest the Americans
are the conservatives and the Irish challenger is the
radical innovator 1t is said there is scarcely bit of
wood about her Her entire hull is OF thin metal
The mainmast is OF hollow steel and all the rigging is
OF wire No expense has been spared in fitting her
Her sails are not made of common canvas, but OF cloth
woven from the finest sea island cotton, and represent
the best work OF men who claim to be the foremost
sailnakers in the world
For all that she has been constructed in a British
shipyard, the Shamrock will be essentially Irish
yacht as her owner designed her to be. Her crew
Irish and in the recent trial trip their work elected
no little praise by reason OF its swftness its efficiency
and the clockke regularity with which every portion
OF it was performed.
All that yacht builders do to make the great
race satisfactory contest between the two foremost
racing and sporting people in the world has been done
The rest remains for the yachtsmen and their
The irritation caused by the Dunraven outbreak
the last has passed away from both Sides and the
public can look forward contest OF friendly rivalry
in skill and seamanship.
