THE MAYORS RESPONSIBILITY.

Mayor Woolford has been talking for publication,
and this is what he is credited with having said:
- Mayor Wooltord was approached by reporter for the
Chronicle Yesterday afternoon and asked concerning the ale
was withholding his support proper investigation OF
the police department by attending the meetings Of the
cN service board and avoNlug his intention being
present at any more of this boards meetings
Mayor Wooliord smiled and said that the aldermen
that should attend the meetings the board said he and
as ann only AN cN oihclo member of the committee my pres
board not including myself aud only hrcc they get to-
gchor can go ahead and transact whatever business
and transact the business which should be transacted The
whole thing amounts to nothing more hu nm efor ON Ike
the board together and the charges made
The police department and other things which should very
whv don't fhcy ret tosciher and c, ' @ tar "'lt'
not necessary for me to be present the meeting"
1t is strange 10 say the least of it, that the mayor
eS ofhco chief of police and member the civil serv-
Ice board does not consider 1t necessary that he should
lend hand in sitting charges against members of the
police force for whose acts he is in measure responsi.
BILE Diminishing the matter of his absence from the
boards meeting with a smile and alleging that the
fault for its failing to the business coming be-
fore 1t is not his will not relieve him of his share of
blame for the boards inactivity.
The fact that his presence at meeting of the board
is not required to make quorum in no sense justifes
the TACK OF interest he displays with regard to the eff.
cheney of the citys peacepreservng force Pride of
office and due regard for the honor OF his admnstra
ton, if nothing else should prompt him to take part in
the work Of the board ana necessary to exert him
self to have it get down to business
Until he does this the color will remain in the allie
cation that he is Withholding his support from proper
investigation OF city department, and no amount Of
smiling Will free him from responsibility for existing
conditions.

ment, is unconstitutional piece of paternasm on
the part Of the general government in matters which
appertan entirely the individual State and second,
because he showed spirit of hypocrisy in advocating
reforms in the South to benefit financially his own
section which called for rcbuke in unmistakable
terms.
The attitude of the editor of Guntons Magazine and
other writer's in the North is significant, in showing
how keeny New England is feeling the stress of
Southern competition in the manufacture of cotton.

SOUTHERN COMPETITION AND NEW ENGLAND
ALARM.

striking sign OF the alarm of New England and
the North at the rapid advance cotton manufactur.
ing at the South shown in the articles that have re-
Gently appeared in Northern newspapers and maga-
zines Guntons Magazine, published in New York but
intensely New England in tone has been agitang the
question of establishing in the South uniform hours of
labor for factory operatives limit for child
operatives and provision the education of children
under that age limit
In the November issue of Guntons the editor in an
article entitled Hours Factory Labor in the South
takes occasion to denounce The Post and other South
ern newspapers for their alleged opposition to his
benevolent schemes of reform.
Here are the facts In the case Just as Lancashire
suffered from New England competition in cotton man
ufacture, so New England is suffering from conpe-
ttion from the South. The South has the enormous
advantage of having the cotton field at me very door
of the cotton mill There is no transportation to bo
paid for In the last four years the increase in the
number of cotton spndles in the North was less than
per cent; in the South the increase was over so per
cent The recent labor disturbance at FAN River
Mass on account of threatened reduction OF wages
really due to the stress OF competition from the
South
In this juncture the editor of Gunton's Magazine
grows benevolent-for purpose. He sets up as a re.
former-for selfinterest. With pretended unselhsh-
ness he advocates various improvements for the social
and moral Improvement of laborers a ten.hour
work day, 12-year age limit for child laborers COM
pulsory education for children under the age limit
''oh for a forty parson power to chant
Thy praise Hypocrisy"
Has the editor of Guntons Magazine never read the
scripture concerning the who attempts to pluck
mote from his brothers eye having at the same time
beam in his own eye? In his preceding article the
editor with beam in his eye with charming simplicity
acknowledged that his section stood in need of "a
broad protective policy" He called for National legls
lation establishing uniform hours Of labor in order
that Tor the benefit of his section Competitive OBJ
portuntes be approximately equal" Now because
me Post and other Southern newspapers take issue
with him for his unwarranted New England interfer
ence in Southern affairs and proposed policy of pa.
ternasm ne reors that the leaders OF public opinion
IN the South are not in line with civilization
Inc fost and the other newspapers of the South
