4 GREAT WORK.

II is something of an inspiration TO turn
from, tbe bitterness provoked by the preeipita-
f5en ur2eg the country of the question OF negro
nficehoIdiug TO the contemplation Of that cord
ssl cooperation of North and South for the
advancement of civilization, both white ana
black which was shown at last nights meeting
in Carnegie Hall and at the dinner given by
Mr.. Robert c. Ogden the night before to the
Southern Education Board and the General
Education Board. These bodies represent. as
was suggested by President Alderman OF Iuiahe
University. the union Of the idealsm and en-
fbusiasm of the South with the conscience, per-
sistenee and power of the North for the up
raising Of the whole nation. The Southern
board is an organization formed for work upon
the school problem. while the General Board
Is constituted for financial administration, betn
proceeding along the lines first marked out by
George Peabody Their purpose is not to as
sumo permanent burden of supporting
schools here and there but TO stand behind
local educational movements, encourage them,
direct them Alright and push them along over
tbe hard places
This movement is not giving Of aims by the
North TO the South. Such charity would be re-
sented by proud people who to-day are max
sne larger sacrifices for the education OF both
races than the citizens of any other States OF
the Union But the South is made up of rurai
communities where there is little money, ana
its educational burden is peculiarly. heavy,
while here is concentrated the wealth of the
country drawn from the South as well as the
NORTH. Here come the successful Southerners
with their money, and it is only fair co-opera-
tjon that from the centre Of the nations pros
persty should 20 forth effort TO help on this
work of common interest. The whole country
should have better education, but to-day the
Southern States are naturally most In need of

A JUDICIAL EPISODE.

If the time were half a century ago and the
place were south of Mason and Di1on's line 1t
is pretty evident that the venue would have TO
be changed and peremptory order for pistols
and coffee executed forthwith. Among those
who occupy portions of the Kings County Court
house at stated hours are Justices Gaynor and
Dickey The former, who has great aversion
to bad microbes and would sentence every one of
them to penal servitude for life, if not to the
electric chair, if be could by any means bring
them under his jurisdiction, has ordered the
outer doors of the courthouse kept open while
he is in the building, to the end that the sa-
lubrioIs air of Brooklyn may freely play about
its corridors The latter, who has not been
feeling precisely like twoyear-old colt of late,
and suspects that pneumonia is trying to re-
verse him, has ordered the doors kept shut.
Each has been obeyed with respectful alacrity
by his immediate attendants. and rapid sue
eession of atmospheric changes has naturally
resulted The moral consequences are yet to
be determined, but we fear they may be such
as an enlightened community cannot contem-
plate without q shudder-
The situation is complicated by the fact that
the courthouse is the scene Of alleged activity
on the part of other persons, including a Dis
trict Attorney. Sheriff, a Commissioner of
Jurors and judges of an inferior court whose
health and comfort are a matter Of concern to
themselves, and, presumably, also to their fani-
lies. not TO speak of the public at large. Being
doubtless restrained By sense of their subor-
dinate status in the official order, they have
heretofore preserved profound silence, but
there is no telling at what moment the old Adam
within them may break loose. II they should
suddenly discover that they were undergoing
slow process of asphyxiation, or surmise that
they were getting full of hostile microbes. they
would probably be unable 10 refrain from
taking sides. There are some things which
human fortitude cannot endure. We doubt if
there is anybody living who. having become con-
scious of a tickling sensation behind the bridge
Of his nose, and cold, damp feeling under his
shoulderblades. can accept draught on the
back Of his neck without, at least gesticulating
a remonstrance. A sense OF we may possibly
keep his mouth shut but idget he must and

there had been a surrender. but ii is more prob

therefore il is permissible for benevolere out
siders TO tender their good offices at this critical
iunctrre we venture to suggest that the learned
justices have overlooked method Of procedure
which is supported by ample preeedents. Why
does not enc of them issue an injunction and

THE AoUEDUcT COMMISSION.

The Merchants Association of this city has
been looking into the matter of the delay IN
conlnleting the new Croton Dam and the Jerome
Park Reservoir and is said to be about to sub
nit to the Mayor q report upon the subject
sharply challenging the conduct of the Aqueduct
Commission which has those works in hand
and recommending the radical reorganization
of that body. Judgment upon the details OF TINS
report must of course await its presentation
to the Mayor and its publication. There are
however some things which can confidently be
said upon the subject, report or no report, and
which in the interest of the public need to be
said.
Chief among these is that there has been en-
tireIy too much delay in the doing of the great
public works in question, and especially in the
completion of the new Croton DAM Granted
that that dam is an enormous structure, and
that it is necessary to exercise the utmost care
in building it so that il may be secure beyond
all possibility of impairment The latter fact
cannot be too strongly emphasized STILL when
all that and all other things are said, it must
be added with equal assurance that the dam
ought TO have been finished long before this, in
stead of yet being probably several years from
completion. We have only to contrast the e1-
pedition with which the gigantic Nile dam was
constructed TO feel sense of shame at the
dilatory work on the Croton.
1t would be a harsh and-to them-intolerable
reflection upon the estinlable gentlemen who
compose the AqHeduet Commission TO suggest
that there was any connection between this de-
lay and the fact that their occupation will be
gone and the handsome salaries which they
now receive for comparatively little work Will
cease when the various dams and reservoirs are
completed. But certainly 1t should occur to
them that they owe to the city the duty of eX-
pediting those works just as much as though
their personal pecnniary gain lay in such eX-
pedition instead of in delay. They were ap-
pointed to office and are paid their salaries not
for stretching out their work to the crack of
doom. but for Fastening it to completion. In
current phrase. the Aqueduct Commission
should "get move on" and finish up the work
which should have been finished in the last
century.

GOVERNOR oBELL FOB THE GUARD.

When organized labor took its first stand
against the National Guard, and declared that
men who responded TO the call of the State au-
thorities and at the risk of their lives helped
to quell disorder and to protect property were
unworthy of membership in trade organizations,
The Tribune took sides with the National
Guard On every occasion since then when
labor organizations have shown antagonism TO
the citizen soldiery, the pernicious and un-
American position of the labor people has been
denounced not only because of the implied de
fiance of the law, but because the unpatriotlc
action of the unions cast a shadow of shame on
thousands of honest union men who, Wnne
loyaI to their fellow workmen, are not uncon-
scious Of the fact that they are American citi-
zens and as such cannot array themselves
against recognized and essential State lnstl-
tuition.
In his annual message Governor Odell called
attention to the stand taken by the labor unions,
and spoke of it as "prejudicial to the best in
terests of the State While ht characterized
the discharge of a man from labor organiza-
ton because he is guardsman as "a blow at
constitutional government he called attention
also TO the fact that employers have discharged
men because they were members of the Ma
tional Guard.
There are no laws by which offending or
sanizations or unpatriotic individuals can be
reached. and until new laws are framed their
offences must go unpunished. Governor Odelf
suggests that the matter receive the considera-
ton of the legislature with q view to enactlng
a law which will make these offences mis-
demearors, "and that adequate punishment be
provided Every good citizen will indorse the
sentiment and if the labor unions are really
not in sympathy with the down-with-the-Na-
tional- Guard sentiment. some of the leaders
maintain, they will urge legislation by which
the real offenders may be brought to book.

PAYMENTS ON PLEDGES.

Interest rates have declined extensively in
recent years. Our savings banks, under adml-
rably conservative and farsighted management,
are paying only 312 per cent interest yearly
upon deposits The trustees feel their responsi-
bility for the safeguarding of the hundreds OF
millions of dollars Of the accumulations of the
thrifty and the frugal and they rightly avoid all
risk and pay out only what they feel sure will
leave the institutions in absolute security
1t should not be forgotten. however. that no
weary round of years has gone by since every
savings bank in New-York allowed per cent
interest on accounts. Now little over one-half
that rate is allotted. Poor people are often com
PEELED by sickness or other misfortunes ID their
families TO pledge part Of their possessions In
order to obtain temporary loans In pawnshops.
They are fairly entitled TO get such loans upon
a moderate and reasonable system of charges.
But the laws of this State allow pawnbrokers
to exact the same rates which they exacted
when savings banks were paying per cent on
deposits Under the signs of the three gold
balls the legal schedule is Still excessively high
for property pledged for less than $100 in value
while there is al lower charge for loans on
Jewels or other g0eds worth more than $100
Is that fair method of treatment of the poor?
The pawnbroker runs no risk whatever. He
lends only enough upon each pledge to leave
him an absolutely certain margin Of profit If
the borrower sacrifices his property and never
repays the lean and the families of smallest
means are compelled to pay higher rates of in
terest than the reckless and inprovident who
NAV put in pawn diamonds or rubies or other
gems worth thousands of dollars Is it equi-
table or defensible to keep up the pawnshop
schedules at the old figures while the rates of
interest on savings bank deposits. on mortgages,
on bonds and other securities have shrunk so
largely? Why should not the legislature take
this matter in hand? There should be no action
not thoroughly considered and governed by JUS
tice and fairness TO every one concerned. But
what possible apology can any person make for
the present table of pawnbrokers' charges?
