The Ohio Republicans.

The proposition that the Ohio Repub-
lican Convention shall declare itself IN
favor of the denomination Of Mr.. RoosE-
vKLr can be discussed on it's merits or
dement's by Republicans outside OF the
Buckeye pale. Considerations OF local
leadership or faction, the ambition and
rivalries of distinguished Republican
statesmen in Ohio, the yearning to put
somebody there on record or in a
hole are matters OF limited and paro-
chiai interest, details of manipulation,
moves in the same old game. But Re-
publicans in general, and cool-headed
friends of Mr.. ROOSEVELT in particular.
can see without prejudice just what the
proposed Endorsement would be-
1t would be snap judgment, alb
surdly premature, and sure to produce
irritation among Republicans who are not
political idolaters or hero worshppers,
and who wish to have the business OF
1904 attended to in 1904. The members OF
the coming Ohio State Convention are not
to elect delegates to national conven-
ton. They have no authority to speak
for the Republican party Of Ohio as to
the selection OF the candidate for Presi-
dent next year Who knows what cam
didate a majority Of the Ohio Republic
cans will favor in 1904? For that matter,
who knows what candidate they favor
now, or whether their minds are made up?
ROOSEVELT may be the man. Somebody
else may be the man. To" spring : can
didats in 1903 is to initiate the snap =
convention policy which was 30 success
full in the case Of another Ex-Governor
Of New York, tho Hon. DAVID BENNETT
HILL.
Phlosophically considered. to be sure.
the question is none of our business and
any funeral that may come Of it will not
be ours. The Republican State Conven-
ton Of Ohio can be law unto itself and
do anything majority Of the delegates
can be wheedled or bulldozed into doing.
Mr.. FORAKER is OF age. Mr.. HANNA has
not wholly given up to the Civic Fedora
ton what was meant for the Republican
party of Ohio. Mr.. ROOSEVELT knows
what he wants. But snap conven-
ton Endorsement is more sign Of weak
ness than Of strength, an attempt to
mould for personal advantage the public
affairs of the future through the politi-
cal power in hand at the present.

Tho Building Strike.

Even il the cause Of the great building
quarrel we're clearly understood by
every citizen, its importance is mani
testify 80 great that 1t cannot be stated
too often. There cannot be too much
reflection on anything involving conse-
quences 90 momentous.
The cause In question is the expansion
of organized labor. The process OF
afIiliating the organizations OF the va
rious trades Of this city has OF late years
developed into virtual consolidation, in
which the title skilled has been wholly
lost sight OF. Laborers Of every class
aud OF every grade are recognized and
included In one central body, constitut-
ing the most heterogeneous union known
to American industry. Not even the
Steel Trust Is made up Of 30 many ele-
ments; and combination OF employers,
oorrespondingly varied. is arrayed on
the other side.
The special Issue on which the Aght has
been Joined explains its character. 1t is
whether the life Of building here, In all
its branches and ramihcations, and
viewed Is single and indivlsible indus
try. shall live or die at the pleasure OF the
humbest and, by the natural laws OF
trade, tho most easily replaceable Of
those engaged In It.
II, for example. the drivers Of wagons
Transporting material become dissatis-
fed, must the penalty Of failing to satisfy
them on the part Of their immediate en-
ployers b the stoppage Of everything?
1t Is against the enforcement Of this
extreme development Of labor unionism
that the employers have rebelled. They
declare that upon every individual in
dustry the friction inseparable from
trade and ineradicable from human
nature puts q load as big as it can bear,
and that the attempt to pile on each one
the united burdens Of all others cannot
be submitted to. Business 30 saturated
with passion As the system sought to be
imposed upon them would not be BUSH

the employers refuse to engage in it.
or the right OF each party to the contro-
versy to hold to its views and to endeavor

ground for question. And In our opinion

New York's Quarter.Millennial.

In 1855, when New York was first In
oorporated a. city. by the Dutch West
India Company, under the name OF tho
City OF Amsterdam in the New Meth
erlands, it contained population OF
about one thousand souls. At that Pc
Rod the greatest capital OF the world
was Paris, With q population OF about
half a million. The population OF Lon
don and its suburbs was less by quarter.
In the two hundred and fifty years since
then London has risen to the first place
among the cities Of the world and New
York to second place.
This bare statistical comparison Ia
sufficient of itself to indicate the COM
plete Transformation, social, political
and commercial, which has taken place
during that relatively short period in
the history of mankind. The devel-
opment of New York into the second
Of the great capitals Of the world has
been coincident with the evolution Of
the American people into one Of the
foremost nations of the world. for the
growth and extension Of this town from
q little hamlet OF l20 houses gathered
about the Battery, or below the present
line OF Wall street, have been only typical
Of American growth generally.
After 1858 immigration to New York
increased at rate remarkable for those
days. AS many as 1882. or about a
present immigrant shipload, arrived
between 1857 and 1854. Most Of these
immigrants belonged to the humber
social gradations Of Europe, and Of
Holland very largely. In a list Of the
citizens Of New Amsterdam In 1857 are
only Dutch names-twenty great citi-
zens and 2O4 small citizens =: and Of
these names very few remain, even I'M
der the English transformations Of pat
ronymin which have since taken place,
In 1878. the then English Governor AN
pRos reported that there are no beg
gas in the city, but all the poor are cared
for The n"desty of the fortunes OF the
New Workers. of that time is indicated in
q list OF the wealth Of the richest in 1874;
FREDERICK PHILIPsE, $4,000 forms;
NICHOLAS DE MEYER, $4,000; OLoFF VAN
CoRrLANDT, $4,000; JOHN LAWRENCE,
10000, and JEROME EBBINoH, 10000.
The growth OF New York from begin
nings so humble was relatively rapid.
In 100 its population was 4,20O, Phila-
delphia was the most populous city in
America in the eighteenth century, and it
was not until about 1920 that New York
began to pass it in population. In
1900, Philadelphia held the first place,
with 7O,2s7 inhabitants; New York the
second, with 90, 4S9; Baltimore the third,
with 1854, and Boston the fourth, with
A,o27. From the beginning the popula-
ton OF New York had been cosmopoli-
tan; out II seems TO have been easily
governed, for tine municipal expenses
between 1921 and 1927 averaged only
about G5O0 a year. The extent Of the
trade and commerce Of the town is in
dictated by these statistics: From l7lo
10 1920, imports, E385 ,645, exports,
E3a2 ,oS3; from 1920 to 1890, imports,

council, which corresponds, Of course
to our Senate, has refused assent to the
measure. There is no reason to suppose
that the Bundesrath hereafter can be
prevailed upon to reverse its position
in this particular. How, then, will it be
possible for the Agrarians to gain the

sstance Of the Agrarians would be
impolitic.
A failure to send to the Relchstag
majority opposed to the new tariff cannot
fail to have grave economical conse-
quences for Germany. A monopoly OF
the home market once assured to the
Agrarians, Q marked rise in the price OF
grain and meat is sure to follow, and this
will inevitably lead to a demand for
higher wages in all non-agricultural in
dustries. II wages are increased. Ger
man manufacturers must raise the prices
OF their exported products, and will thus
disqualify themselves for vying with
their national competitors in foreign
markets. That will be equivalent TO an
abandonment Of the policy upon which
the hopes and energies of the German
Emperor and his most intelligent sub
jects have been concentrated for many
years,
