Mr.. JFROHES PANACEA.

District Attorney Jerorle's plan for assuring
permanent good government 10 New-York is IN
ieresting. as the products Of his fertile fancy
and ardent temper usually are. and perhaps IT
IS deserving Of the earnest consideration which
he hopes il viii receive. But we cannot per-
suade ourselves that ii possesses the practical
merits which he claims for it. Yet Mr.. Jerome
says that his proposal is not sudden concep-
zion. but the result Of long thought and for that
among other reasons, we would net treat il in
Hospitality. His remedy for municipal evils,
from which he does not expect any administra-
lion of itself TO free the city, is a voluntary
association Of from FIVE TO ten eminent, disin-
terested and successful citizens who would meet
for two or three hours once a week TO take
action on representations made TO them by a
literally paid superintendent and staff OF in
restigators. If they determined that the state
OF things was wrong I'm any branch of the city
government they would announce their conclu-
sion 10 the responsible authorities. and if cure
was not promptly applied would go straight TO
the Governor. But their personal ascendancy
would be so great and the force Of public opin-
iOn behind them so tremendous that their de-
crees would be virtually irresistible
Mr.. Jerome has no hope OF satisfactory re-
suits from the organization Of a faction to op-
pose corrupt party rule. Such experiments. he
says. have failed miserably hitherto. owing I'm
large measure TO the fact that leaders OF the
right sort cannot be procured. Men Of sufficient
calibre are too busy too selfish to serve But
be seems 10 think that ten men OF surpassing
qualifications might easily be induced to organ
ize as a committee 10 supervise and direct the
management OF city affairs. They would have
10 spend a large amount Of money during the
first year-perhaps as much as s150.0o0-but az
terward. owing 10 the knowledge that they
were necessarily on guard and the conscious
ness that their moral influence made them ALL
powered. the cost OF their machinery would
rapidly diminish But. greater or less. Il would
be HE easiest thing in the world TO raise the
required amount.
Such are Mr. Jer0me's confident conclusions.
hut we cannot avoid seeing some obstacles in
his way and some objections 20 his scheme.
Voluntary organizations for the Improvement OF
municipal conditions have existed in great num-
beers. and some Of them, like the City Club, the
Citizens Union and the Merchants Association.
are stiII active. Mr. Jerome sets all these aside
as being OF little or no account because OF d.
vided counsels, selfish motives, unwise methods
or for some other reason. and for the sake OF

The reports lately made by all the important
German chambers of commerce admit that the
industries Of the empire have not recovered from
the effects of the great economic depression
which began in 1901. The last year has not
been one of improvement, only of reconstruction
and. according to the Mannheim Chamber. con-
ditons would be much worse II the United States
had not been such excellent customer of Ger
manufacturers, and If its competition with
German industries at home had not materially
decreased. The Hamburg Chamber of Com
merce it is worth noting. deprecates in its re-
port any restrictive measures against the extern
sion or activity of commercial combinations
The chamber holds the belief that trusts are on
the whole benefcent TO the general economic
interest, and it maintains that any abuses at
tending their activity be easily corrected by
legislation without unduy hampering them.

Police Inspector schmittberger is a man OF

although at times he may have been little too
ponderous. still he has done great deal OF
acceptable work in breaking up gambling
houses and dives and checking violations Of the
law. One of the captains in his inspection dis
trict is still wondering why his superior officer
did not take him into his confidence when a
raid" was made on Sunday. No doubt the in
spector had his reasons for his reticence. He
possesses some OF the qualities of Foxy CUTLER
and a Sherlock Holmes.
