NO BACKYARD STEP.

Some of the builders OF tenement houses in
Brooklyn threaten to renew last winters fight
against the Tenement House law. The Health,
Fire and Tenement House departments of the
city government are however. understood to
be a unit for resisting any backward step, and
public opinion certainly will not countenance
any lowering of the requirements for health
decency and safety in the homes OF the poor
Substantial concessions were made to Brook
lyn builders last winter in view of local condi-
lions, and the changes now demanded could
not be granted without sacrifice of the vital re-
quirements Of a sanitary tenement house. An
interior court eight by fourteen feet for two
family 10 a floor house on twenty-five foot lot
is absolutely essential. The old two and a half
by ten feet courts so dear TO the hearts OF the
builders are simply not to be tolerated The
law as ii now stands makes perfectly possible
two apartments TO floor with practically as
much available space as is secured by the con-
ventional type the builders want TO perpetuate
It costs a little more and tie builders are not
yet used to it, but it is in every way better and
more healthful.
The plea is made that as Brooklyn is COM
paratively new tenement house territory, where
land is cheap and rents are low, the require
ments proper for crowded Manhattan should not
be enforced there. Those are just the reasons
why such requirements should be enforced
there. There is the opportunity in Brooklyn
TO build tenement houses which will be COM
paratively cheap and healthful. On no account
should reproduction OF Manhattan evils be al
lowed. The old tenement houses with narrow
shafts are here. and must be endured. There is
no possible excuse for reproducing them in
Brooklyn. The price OF land is there low enough
for the three story tenement house TO be the
prevailing type in the newer sections OF the
borough. In that case it is also low enough to
permit OF a reasonable court TO give light and
air TO the inner rooms. The houses that are
built now will stand for years in regions where
population will grow denser and open spaces
fewer. The way should not now be prepared
for lot OF plague spots just because real estate
spectators could reap a little larger present
profit by covering vacant lots with unsanitary
buildings than by putting up creditable struct
ures
Brooklyn tenement houses now are not more
healthful than the much more crowded ones in
Manhattan. The infant death rate there has
been higher for several years The cause is
somewhat obscure, and it is not possible to say
that the tenement houses themselves are to
blame The fact, however, shows the necessity
Of especial care IN all matters affecting pub
lie health in Brooklyn. All attempts to de-
crease the required amount of light and air IN
Brooklyn homes should be strenuously resisted.

possibly the difficulty would be overcome. Ne
gotiatiOns with the owners of the patents on
the latter material might be necessary There
would be some delay in devising and manufact-
uring an entirely new style of box. Still, in
ventive ingenuity and business enterprise ought
soon TO work out a satisfactory solution of the
problem.
As the matter stands to-day, a little doubt
still remains concerning the validity Of the rule
adopted by the Bureau of COmbustibles last
spring, although the powers of the Fire Depart
ment are not derived exclusively from Section
769' over which a dispute has arisen. The
legal status of the newly created Municipal Ex-
plosives Commission is also a triie uncertain.
How best to dispose of these questions. how
ever, is a separate matter from the merits OF
the regulation itself. and it we'll deserves the
attention which it is receiving from the Board
of Trade and Transportation.

we are not blind to the embarrassment the
Victorian Government must suffer in being thus
menaced by its own employees or its fellow en-
Moves Of the State. Neither should that gov
eminent be blind TO the fact that this en-

well 10 consider this phase of the question. Inc
example of Victoria shows that government
control does not obviate the danger of strikes
while IL does introduce into the problem an
other most troublesome factor. Not many years
ago men used TO talk about the awful posi-
bilities of evil there were supposed 10 be IN the
great government machine" composed OF the
army Of oficeholders." Why. there were some
eighty thousand postmasters and customs col

but suppose there were added TO that army
the hundreds of thousands Of railroad hands
and the hundreds Of thousands Of miners and
alI the rest There would be an 'administra-
ton machine" with vengeance, which patriotic
citizens might we'll regard with apprehension
and dismay.
The lesson which Victoria will probably learn
is not that civil servants should be degraded to
the rank of political parahs. but that their
number should be kept at a minimum instead
of being raised to a maximum. 1t is not we'll
to make the State a factotum, 10 conduct all
businesses and TO employ as many men as pos
sible. Rather should it's activities be confined
TO purely governmental functions, or to those
few industries which il can manifestly perform
more satisfactorily than can private individuals
or corporations, and thus the number of office
holders should be kept as small as possible. If
the State of Victoria had followed that salutary
rule il would not now be driven in self-defence
TO contemplate so revolutionary measure as
the practical DISTINGUISHING of all citizens who
enter the public service.

CIVIL SERVANTS AND THE SUFFRAGE.

Plinys remark about Africa, that there was
always something new coming out of IL, may
now be applied TO Australia. That common
wealth is az present the pre-eminent and su-
irene land of new tangled notions in politics
and sociology. Some OF its schemes are doubt
less good. such as the Australian ballot-thOugh
we are not at all sure that Australia deserves
full credit for it-and the TOrrens system Of
land registration. Some features Of the Aus
fralian and New-Zealand schemes Of industrial
arbitration also appear to be commendable.
But there are other antipOdal notions which
seem simply fantastic and which we cannot per-
suade ourselves the world will ever generally
hdopt OF which, indeed, Australia itself will
ind permanently satisfactory.
Such is the proposal, reported few days ago,
so deprive civil servants of the suffrage. We
are told that the Victorian Ministry is actually
considering the question of introducing a bill
for Withholding the ordinary legislative suf-
frage from all members of the civil service. but
letting the latter elect two special representa-
lives 10 the Assembly and one TO the Senate
The melting cause of this extraordinary pro-
pOsal is obvious. The civil servants in that
country are numerous. including more than ten
thousand employees Of the State railroads. and
they have been using their political power for
their own gain. In not a few constituencies
they hold the balance Of power. and are able
20 dictate the election Of legislators pledged 10
promote their interests In the direction OF in
creasing salaries and decreasing the amount
OF labor TO be done by them. Not many weeks
ago they threatened general strike and a COM
plete ''tieup" OF all the railroads and mail ser
vice rather than submit TO q small decrease ne
salaries which the straitened condition of the
State treasury seemed 10 make necessary. IL
was only through an extraordinary manifesto
ton Of public opinion against them that they
were for the time dissuaded from ordering the
strike. but they issued manifesto menacingIv
phrased, in which they made IL perfectly clear
that they proposed 20 use both the power OF the
ballot and the power OF striking for their own
advantage whenever an auspiclous opportunity
was presented.
IL is for the purpose OF depriving them of their
power en- the polls, and thus In the State Iegis.
lature, that the Ministry is thinking OF depriy.
Ing them Of the suffrage. But IL viii doubt

more menacing than the disease. To enact
