can attain TO his wonderful intellectual
qualities. But for those qualities he would
not be praised to-day and would never have
reached the high place he attained. His
incorruptibility as man. and his high
sense of public duty was the groundwork
OF his great career He had the courage OF
powerful influence but Ii was never a
commodity. With money or any other ma
terial good thing he could not be swerved
from the path of strict integrity. He was
always careful to keep clear of any en-
tanglements by which men could claim an
official favor from him. He never accepted
ground floor" opportunities which would
put restraint upon his action. He despised
all the devices which dishonest men prac-
tice. He was never gutter but fought
rection in which he travelled. His integrity
was so complete that it gave him the great
courage he always displayed. If he had
been in a city council his bitterest and
most INSCRIPTIONS enemy could not have
said that he was corrupt. The man who
is to succeed in public affairs. that is. the
man who seeks the respect of his fellow
men, to which no money value can be COM
pared. must hold to scrupuous integrity
such as characterized Mr.. Reeds public
career. He cannot daily with the vote

doned for calling attention to Mr.. Reeds

no employer OF painters dare give him en-

the union. Upon such facts as these the
court issued temporary injunction and

OF the union ARE surprised beyond express

would be entertained in court. but the fact
that the union has a president. secretary.

PERNICIoUs ECONOMICS.

Professor Clark. of Northwestern Univer-
sity, having raised a quite general protest
because he said that laboring man could
support his family on $500 year. has issued
an explanation to the effect that he did
not intend that statement as an intimation
that $500 a year is a sufficient compensation.
A writer in Washington has come to the
defense of Professor Clark by declaring
that for hundred years Americans have
lived on an average of not more than $500
a year. and supported their families in
tolerable degree of comfort and high de-
gree of happiness
The writer in Washington does not take
into consideration the changed conditions
of the present as compared with those be-
fore the civil war. We had not then become
a great manufacturing country, with large
cities in which mechanics and all degrees
-of work-people must live. In any
siderable manufacturing town the rent of
even habitable tenement costs from 500
to $50. Anything costing less than 500 a
year does not permit "a tolerable degree of
comfort. and. consequently, not "a high
conditions have changed. What might have
been regarded "tolerable degree of COM
fort fifty or sixty years ago does not come
up to the present standard of comfort. A
house which simply protects one from the
elements is not comfort. insufficient cloth
ing is not tolerable. and bit of carpet on
the floors of the homes of laboring men has
come TO be quite an essential. The Journal
rejoices that this change has come which
has enlarged the list of the necessaries of
life essential TO make tolerable comfort
II holds TO the economic theory that there
can be no progress in the uplifting of So
ciety unless the masses who labor receive
a compensation which places them beyond
the pinch of absolute poverty.
That economic theory which causes those
who claim TO be teachers in economies to
be setting forth the minimum of the neces-
saries of life for any portion of the Ameri-
can people is heartless in conception and
destructive to the growth of the country
in practice. II those who teach economics
believe i'm the $500 year theory which they
preach why do they not adopt IL for them
selves and show that they can maintain
themselves and their families in tolerable
comfort upon that amount of money? III
not. why advocate the possibility of that
sort of cheapness for the great mass of
producing laborers?
The secret of the country's prosperity is
that all wage-earners and farmers earn
sufficient amount of money TO enable them
To purchase and consume the products of
the country. So long as this condition con-
tinues prosperity will be with us Cut the

and women TO an average of $500 a year.

THE CITY'S SUIT AGAINST THE
RAILROADS.

The conferences of Mayor Bookwalter
and the representatives of the railroads
with view of making the railroad cross
ings I'm the city safe, either by the elevation
OF the tracks or some other adequate sys-
tenn, are most cordially approved for the
reason that IL is much better that what
ever is to be done shall be done by the
operation of the railroad corporations. New
ertheless, it would be a great mistake to
before the Supreme Court a condition to
any agreement. 1t is not understood from
the mayors expressions upon the subject
that he has any such idea of interfering
with the progress of the suit Still. if the
railroad companies should make that a con-
dition TO an adjustment, 1t should be re-
jected, as the elevated track commission
so forcefully urges in its communication
TO the mayor.
The suit to determine the rights and pow
ers of the city in this matter has been
pending too long. 1t is not the fault of the
Supreme Court, but during Mr.. Taggarts
term the pressing of the suit was made to
await his political exigencies. Now that
the case is in the hands of the Supreme
Court 1t is i'm every way better to have
decision. If the court decides that the
city has authority to compel the railroads
to make the crossings safe to life and
property it is within the power of the city
to name the method. If. on the other
hand. the railroads win, the city will be no
worse off than it is now. and it will have
the knowledge on the subject which will
enable 1t to go to the Legislature to obtain
the necessary authority. That authority to
secure the interests of the people in the
matter will he granted there can be no
doubt. In the meantime let the mayor and
the railroad companies come to an agree
ment to submit the subject to a commits
sion TO decide the better method of getting
rid of existing dangers, but on no account
should the suit now pending be withdrawn
from the court.

Capture of "Mysterious Woman I'm

KINGSTON, n. Y, Dec. s.-'The Mys-

been deserted after nightfall. as many OF

Miss Henderson is a tall, athletic young
woman, or great strength and agility, and
possessed OF an inordinate desire TO enter
