A MENACE TO ,mrYoRTTTEs.

Senator Brackets bill permitting a solvent
corporation by a two-thirds vote of its stock
holders TO guarantee the bonds of an insolyent
corporation should be scrutiniZed with great
care before il is allowed to become a law. 1t
passed the Senate on Tuesday, Senators Els
berg and Higgins voting with the opposition
against il, but is still subject to review by the
Assembly and the Governor. There may be in
sliyidual instances in which solvent corpora
ton might properly, for the interests Of all con-
rerned, guarantee the bonds of an insolVent cor
poration, and perhaps Senator Bracket has
sought in the form Of general law, to make
possible some such desirable and perfectly hon
est arrangement. The difficulty about giving
any such permission, however, is the opening of
the door TO fraud in corporate management,
and there is no need of further opportunity to
override the rights of minority stockholders
of corporations in New York State. Their safe
guards are already few enough.
Anybody in the least acquainted with the
way rich corporations have in the past been
wrecked by interests happening to gain control
of them for the furtherance of their own per-
sonal purposes in connection with outside en-
terprises win readily perceive the possibilities
OF abuse in such a law, notwithstanding the
beneficial use TO which it might be put under
certain circumstances. Almost any restriction
upon corporate management will now and then

Mr.. Washington believes, however, that the
idea of industrial education has become so pop

PATERSON'S AFFLICTION.

Large fires have been unusually numerous
within the last few days. 1t is only week
since the business part of waterbury was
nearly annihilated. Brooklyn had an experience
on Saturday night which was notable cmeny Ior
the injury done 10 the fremen The warehouses
on two steamship piers in Jersey City were de-
stroyed yesterday morning, and for a time
repetition of the Hoboken calamity was threat
ened. Paterson in the mean time was over
taken by a still more lamentable visitation. IN
all of these cases the flames were spread with
amazing rapidity by gales of great violence
sparks and embers being carried hundreds or
thousands of feet away as well as to the I'M
mediate vicinity of already burning buildings.
Paterson was more unfortunate than Water
bury in the hour at which the confagratlon
originated There serious peril until
practically the whole population of that bis and
thriving city was fast asleep. Again, very
much larger number Of persons have been made
temporarily homeless. Within n few short
hours they have lost habitation, furniture and
clothing, and their health has been endangered
by exposure to wintry blasts while they were
more or less imperfectly clad. Even though,
as now seems probable, not a single life was
lost, this other feature of the calamity makes
a powerful appeal to human sympathy.
The third city of New-Jersey in point of size
has the reputation of being both prosperous and
generous. Her silk mills have not been any
too busy of late, however, and the pecuniary
losses caused by yesterdays fire will prove
runous TO many who were well off the day
before. If, therefore, Paterson finds the tax
which this calamity imposes on her benevolence
too heavy to meet alone she may be sure of
help from outside. All she needs to do is to
say the word.

END OF THE THREE PLATOON SYSTEM.


Commissioner Partridge gives unanswerable
reasons for abolishng the three platoon system
in the Police Department. Trial has completely
justified the objections made to the scheme be-
fore its adoption by the Tammany government
Indeed what Colonel Partridge says about the
expense of the plan is exactly in line with what
the Tammany officials said when it looked as If
the patrolmen might get the favor they desired
from the legislature. Colonel Murphy last year
himself denounced the three platoon system,
and declared that It would cost the city millions
of dollars. When. however, the Job was beaten
at Albany and the Tammany politicians found
that the fund raised among the patrolmen, said
TO have amounted to over $4,000 had not been
returned 10 the contributors, and was still avail.
able for those who could secure the adoption of
the three platoon system, they became enthusi-
astic advocates of the plan. Colonel Murphy
was persuaded that It was the up 10 date
method Of conducting the police force and an
nounced that it could be put in perfect opera
ton without increase in the number OF patrol
men or any additional cost 10 the city. So de-
spite his earlier predictions, he adopted the
three platoon system. Now. after several
months trial, those predictions are found TO
have been reasonably accurate, so much so that
Colonel Murphy's own subsequent distrust and
disregard of his figures must cause him some
embarrassment. He really knew too we'll what
the three platoon system would cost to excuse
his gullibility. Colonel Partridge finds that It
would require 1,605 additional patrolmen. at an
added expense of 2,039,463, and a further ex-
pense of about S500000 for new sergeants and
roundsmen, to give the city the same protec-
ton that it had under the old system
OF course, the patrolmen are disgruntled over
the change. Those who paid their good money
into the corruption fund find that their purchase
has turned TO ashes, and are correspondingly
sad. Apart from that, the three platoon system
meant shorter hours and less work for them,
and human nature likes short hours and little
work. The complaints of patrolmen, however
have not deferred Commissioner Partridge from
doing his duty, and should not deter the peo-
pie Of this city from supporting him in doing it,
Courage and backbone are required in an execu-
tive officer to antagonize large organized body
like the police force and compel its members to
work longer hours than they have been doing
The cry about eight hours being a fair DAVIS
work appeals to the unthnkng but Colonel
Partridge is right when he says policemen can
not be properly classed with laborers They
enjoy large salaries for the work they do. are
cared for when sick, and entitled to pensions
when they retire. They are highly favored as
compared with men of similar capacity in pri-
vate employment They live well. grow fat

than that of them, when we recall the cock
prophecies OF utter failure or worse. and the
strained ridicule which many put forth concern

actments are by no means inconsiderable, while
those of an educational character are very great
Perhaps the most significant fact is that the
American republics have unanimously agreed TO
accept the principles adopted by the peace con-
gress at The Hague. and to become parties TO
the convention there concluded. That is to say.
these republics upon which some European
powers have been wont to look with supercilious
patronage. tolerance or contempt, have put
themselves squarely by the side of those Euro
pean powers on one of the most important
grounds of international law. Nor will IL do for

side corporation. The prevailing system OF
carrying on large enterprises by affiliated cor
porations often prompts such manipulation TO
enrich a few men in control of them. all at the
expense of minority holders in one or few. It
would be easy to recount in detail how, mat
ter Of actual fact, the owners of a twO-thirds in
terest in well known corporations would really

against other insolvent corporations assumed
by themselves and their minority stockholders.
The carrying on of large business enterprises
often results in such complication Of interests,
and il is by no means implied that the exist
ence of such a situation is a cause FOR sus-
pcion. Lawmakers should, however, be careIul
about giving to INSCRIPTIONS men who may be
so circumstanced opportunity to defraud busl-
ness associates whose interests are only noml-
nally identical with their own. One OF the most
essential features of a proper corporation law is
adequate protection OF minorities, no matter
how small.

THE ELM-ST. OUTLOOK.

A few sanguine property holders in Elm-st,
who have been staggering under heavy assess
ments for that costly Improvement, still stick TO
the optimistic belief that the thoroughfare will
be opened for traffic about the time when Mar
conf succeeds in sending long messages across
the Atlantic by wireless telegraphy. But hard
headed and practical observers of city affairs
declare that Elm-st. will not be ready for public
uses until after Mr.. William Jennings Bryan
takes the oath Of office as President of the
United States.
When will that take place? VIII water run
up hill and the Harlem ship canal be completed
VIII the jam at the Brooklyn Bridge be done
away with? Will the elevated and surface
lines furnish seats for all their passengers !?
VIII the Manhattan company surrender the ter
ritory in Battery Park which it promised to
give up many years ago? VIII all the streetcar
corporations pay TO the city treasury what they
fairly and honestly owe?
Oh, yes, certainly! When the cars are run
