WAGES OF RAILWAY EMPLOYEES
Comparative Effects OF the Ten Per Cent
Advance Recently Announced.

WASHINGTON, April s.-Many inquiries
received by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission relative to the comparative effect
upon the wages Of railway employees OF
the 10 per cent. general advance recently
announced, have called attention to the
fact that the daily compensation Of many
classes OF railway employees was greater
during the dark period Of financial depres-
sion and industrial stagnation prevalent
in 1893 and succeeding years than in the
prosperous days Of the present.
This does not apply to general officers,
whose average daily compensation has
steadily advanced in the ten years from
1892 to 1902 from S7.s3 to Sl097. The sta
tistics show. however. that during tins
Officers, exclusive Of general officers, has
decreased from e7.s3 to $3.50; general Office
clerks, from t225 to 32.l9; station agents,
from Si.S5 to SLIT; other station men, from
Sl.es to sl,Se; carpenters, from s2;io to
from 81 ~ to STA; section foremen, from
S175 to S1.7l: and general employees and
laborers, from $40 to S1.o9.
During the deca de there Ia I've been smnll
increases In the daily compensation OF
few classes OF railway employees, as fol-
lows: Engine men, from $500 TO 1918; fire
men, from 81 90 to $2.l8; conductors, from
s. 10 to 81. II; other trainmen, from ig2
to s2.O0 me- chinists, from e2.Si to s?3,'
trackmen. from Si-23 10 Si.,s., and tele-
graph Operators and despatohers' nom
The 10 per cent. advance will not restore
the wages OF railroad officers other than
general officers TO tho figures OF 1892 and
1909, and this is true as well OF other
classes Of railroad employees. The wages
Of most Of the various classrs OF employees
will be higher. however, under the advance
than they have ever been before.

confidence Of his business associates.
Blowing of men at faster rate than
you can afford in order to increase your
business credit with them Ii pretty sure
to produce In them directly contrary I'M
preston. II does not establish confidence
in your prudence. In the long run you
will be rated financially according to
your actual conditions, not your false
pretences. and socially. also, you will
find your true level.
The people In New York who have got
ahead in the world did not sacrifice the
substance to the shadow. Before they
began to blow of they took care to
accumulate money enough by careful
saving to be able to stand the cost with
out overstraining their incomes. The
beginnings Of the vast majority OF the
great fortunes Of this time were in such
self-restraint and such freedom from
snobbishness, and thousands OF other
fortunes are now being built up In the
same way by people in humble surround
ings. Don't whistle till you are out OF
the woods. Your neighbor or chance
acquaintance may be deceived for the
moment by your false pretencss Of being
better Of than you are, but your financial
rating at the commercial agencies Is
likely to be correct, and your extrava-
gances in keeping up appearances
will only tend to make it the lower.

Party and Governor.

The Hon. BENJAMIN B. ODELL has
elected while Governor to increase his
bank account rather than his standing
- . public man. His management OF
legislation touching the State charities and
the exertion OF his influence with the gov
eminent Of New York city toward OBJ
tanning the lease TO his steamboat COM
pany Of Pier u forbid any reasonable
doubt Of this bewildering fact.
Consequently, it behoovee the Repub-
hcan party to consider with the greater
care the effect of the Governors conduct
upon its own interests directly. and In
directly, but more weightily, upon the
interests Of the State. For any cloud or
stigma brought to q party through an
official counted as q member of 1t there
can be no possible oompensation-no
set-off, such as the man may enjoy.
A party's capital Ia the respect which
is felt in the public mind for its purposes
and methods, and nothing else; and
neither confidence nor respect Is bound
UP with Executive mastery Of legisla-
tive majority. The passage on Tues
day, by a majority Of 90 to 81, Of bill
confirming the Governors control Of
the purchasing Of all hospital supplies
and legalizing the illegal payment Of a
salary to a certain purchasing steward,
and the squelching at the same time of a
resolution to investigate the Charities
department, tend to impair public con-
fidence rather than to increase it, and to
give seriousness to the clamor about the
influence of the lobby at Albany rather
than to allay and discredit it.
Never was there in the Republican
PARTY more urgent need Of the spirit Of
sobristy and rectitude, militant and visi-
bic, than there is to-day.

shipper exactly right. IL he can not learn or will

VIII Man Become Obsolete?

The Chicago Bulletin, an afternoon
newspaper written by women with an
occasional little help from men by way
OF variety, is soon to appear. We are
magnanimous enough to hope that it
will linger long. What is to be ought to
be; and Mere Man may as well try to
make the best oft. The Chicago Tribune
publishes, with all too little appreciation
Of their prophetic and fateful meaning,
some statistics as to the occupations of
Chicago women. As we have predicted
with hopeless resignation, they can do
anything and everything. They WELD
axe and hammer with the same dexterity
with which they use needle and pen.
Any sort OF work they have not set their
hands at is either unattractive TO them
or has not occurred TO them.
