snected citizen. All the rowdy elements IN the

they do not want to see the negro prosperous

are worthless, but they want TO keep them So
and they want to discourage all efforts TO lIh-
nrove them That Is the secret or the 1e&as

whose ''self-respect' forbade her to make the
bed of the gentleman whom Queen Victoria
found pleasure and profit in meeting. Booker
Washington asks no social recognition He is
doing his work in simplicity, earnestness and
patriotic spirit, and those who rejoice TO Insult
him merely confess their own inferiority. Ihe
eulogsts of the chambermaid whose "selt-re-
spect' is so keen that she cannot make Booker
Washingtons bed. but is ready to abandon her
own child probably never thought themselves
degraded by drinking from black breasts or De-
ing nursed to sleep in a black mammys arms
Some Of them would not find it so imposslple
to come in contact with negroes even in their
mature years. provided only the contact was
one which left the negro more degraded than
before 1t is only relationship which tends
to the elevation of the negro that this class OF
the superior race find disgusting, perhaps be
cause they realize that even the lowest negro

PINTSCH GAS EXPLOSIONS.

Two accidents have resulted from the explo-
sion of the variety of gas used in car illumlna-
ton within the last few days. One was re-
ported from New-Haven last week. Owing TO
leakage. doubtless due to some employees care
lessness a dangerous mixture of gas and ar
was formed inside Pullman coach at an hour
when its occupants were in their berths. NO
one was hurt, but precipitate fight, without the
formaIity of a full toilet and a hunt for other
sleeping accommodations at a highly fncon-
venient hour were the chief consequences. Inc
mishap in this city yesterday was more serious
4 fire broke out in one of the many small fac
tories which the Pintsch company has in yarl-
Gus parts of the country for the convenience OF
its patrons Since petroleum is one OF the ma
terials used in the process covered by the
Pintsch patents, a quantity of that substance
was involved in the conflagration; and one OF
the storage tanks for the gas itself blew up
adding appreciably to the damage.
In view of the extensive use of gas on rail-
way cars in America and Europe, accidents OF
this kind are singularly infrequent While these
two are not without precedent they are notable
exceptions to an almost uninterrupted history
of admira BILE mana cement and immunity. Event
ually gas Will give way to electric light on
trunk lines, as 1t has already on certain street
railways where it was once in service Gas is
so much safer than the old petroleum lamp,

SOME VIOLENCE ALONG TIE SUBWAY.

The subway contractors have had little Diff
cuIty thus far in securing men who are desIr-
Gus of earnins good wages for a fair days work.
More than half the vacancies have been hlled
already, and ii is probable that the trenches VIII
be satisfactorily manned within week On
the whole the strikers have behaved well, or at
least have caused little disturbance, though
there is some reason 10 think there might have
been serious trouble if the police had not been
rigilant and active Indications Of an ugly
temper were conspicuous at several points early
yesterday morning, especially at Fourth-aye.
and AstOr Place, where a number Of Italians at
tempted to break a large water main by throw
ing heavy stones into the excavation, and
crowd OF sympathizers made it hard for the
police 10 catch them. If the main had been
broken, as il surely would have been except for
police interference, the subway would have
been flooded and important section of the
CITY left without water The mob quickly
dispersed, as was similar assemblage at about
the same hour near the City Hall, but We be-
Iieve 60, arrests were made
From the beginning OF the subway strike the
police have given an excellent example of alert
ness and discipline, and are especially entitled
10 credit for keeping their cOmposure under
provocation. II may be doubted, however, if
driven away a crowd containing and Sheltering
men guilty of violent acts. 1t seems TO US that
q considerable number Of arrests and quick con
victions would III such crimes and produce a
wholesome effect. However, we did not intend
70 make a complaint, but were moved rather TO
praise the police for their good conduct under
conditions made doubly trying by the excessive
heat We hope they viii be able to take things
mere easily few days hence, but yesterday S
experience sho. the present need Of incessant
vigilance.
AS for the strikers, they are entitled TO very
little sympathy, except ia consideration Of the
fact that ignorance betrayed many of them into
taking the advice of worthless leaders. They
broke an agreement when they suddenly stopped
work and subsequently, repudiated an arrange
ment for adjusting differences. Theirs was not
skilled labor, and they were receiving 81 80 or
81 s755 day, according as they worked eight
or ten hours. They had a perfect right to de-
mand more. and, on failing TO get more after
due notice 10 throw up their job. But they
showed bad judgment well as bad faith. II
was certain that the pay they did not choose
10 earn would be attractive to others, and alto

THE MAN BEHIND THE BRIBER.

The corruption in the Missouri Legislature. of
which progressive revelations are being made.
deserves attention as something more than an
example of local misgovernment. 1t takes two
to make a bargain. A bribe giver is as much
of a criminal as a bribe taker. Degraded as
the Missouri politicians have shown themselves
to be, they are not one whit worse than the
highly respectable business men Of NewYork
Boston, Chicago, or wherever it may be, who
manage the corporations which tried to buy
legislation. It is confessed by the bribe takers
that they accepted the money of great school
book concern, and also of a baking powder cor
poration, as well as the money of railroads
seeking franchises in the State
Now. some of these corporations do business
in other States. If bribes are offered in Jeffer
son City to make a market for certain school
books or baking powders, is there any reason
to suppose that the owners Of those wares are
more honest at Albany or Trenton or Harris
burg when they go there to work up a trade?
IF this business Of purchasing law is ever to be
stopped. punishment must not be confined to
the legislator and the lobby agent, but must ex-
tend to the principals at the centre of a law
buying corporations activity If the presidents
and directors of these corrupting companies
cannot be reached legally. they should be NOR
ally and socially. 1t should lastingly disgrace
a man at the head of a corporation for it to be
shown that bribes had been offered in its in
terest. The easy liberation as respectable mem
bers Of society of individuals who stand in the
shadow and prompt agents to bribery is one Of
the disquieting signs of q low condition of
public morals. We cry out against political
corruption but many Of the digniied business
men who lament the lack Of honesty and bnsi-
ness methods in politics are themselves indi-
rectly tempters to corrupt practices.
Of course they will say that they offer no
brbes They never heard of the venal Senator
They did not know that the man employed to
advance their interests was paying money for
votes But that is subterfuge There is not a
manager of a corporation fit for his place on
the score of business ability who does not know
the character of its agents and understand
where and how its money is being spent. If
he does not become acquainted with the de-
tails It is because he wishes to be ignorant.
If he hands over money to a lobbyist for ser
vices and expenses and asks no accounting
it is because he does not want the record of
what he knows in his heart is taking place.
He is morally as much Of a briber as if he set
down in his ledger the specific amounts that
went to corrupt officials. The st. Louis revela
tions should turn attention to the operations in
other States of the corporations which have
been pursuing a criminal course in Missouri
who direct such companies and, though them
selves far away from the scenes of bribery,
profit by the crimes of their agents.

MR.. WHITNEY AND THE MOSQUITO.

That is a fine bit of home missionary work IN
which Mr.. William C. Whitney is just now en-
gagged Having demonstrated TO his own salts
faction that salvation from mosquitoes is feas-
ible, he is about to preach the gospel of freedom
TO others. Until within a year or two the mu-
nicipal railroad and Jockey Club officials who
are to be his guests to-day had enjoyed the same
opportunities Of gaining knowledge he. His
recent experience on the south shore Of Long
Island, however, gives him a distinct advantage
over them. He can speak convincingly. Mr.
Whitney makes no pretence OF originality as far
as his methods are concerned. T. ey are practi-
cally the same as those adopted on the north
shore, on Staten Island and elsewhere. What
makes his latest undertaking almost unique is
the effort to enlist other men of influence in the
good cause. The effect will be far reaching.
Thousands of property owners are likely to de-
rive benefit from Mr.. Whitney's luncheon party
inside of the next two or three years.
The world is ra idly learning that many things
which were once deemed impossible are easy if
they are attempted in the right way. One of
them is the redemption of a community from
mosquitoes; and the right way to accomplish
that object is to prevent breeding By far the
most effective strategy is to abolish the accumu-
lations of water in which the eggs OF those in
sects are laid. If swamps are too extensive to
be dried up by dkes and filling, as in districts
