If I were poor I would work for one dollar a day" Carnegie Is reported as saving. That little '1f' plays an im- portant part in the ideas and disposi- tions of men. We are not at all in clined to charge Andrew with false hood but in our opinion he does not know what he would do, and we have little idea that he would go to work at any such price. The probability is that he would look around for an op- portunity to make money easier and faster than that. And a poor man might say: If were rich I would divide my money with the poor" but he would do nothing of the kind, we think. He would worry and struggle to double his wealth. That would be human nature.

For a strenuous effort to make the best of 1t. commend us to this from The New York Mail
 After more than three months of almost incesxant debate the Senate has tangle of amendments, and sent 1t to the House. It has been long and stubborn fight, in which victory has last been wrns pnsrtss Sg BSOtiISe BT the snt Pres ident of the United States, from the well-entrenched forces of corporate privilege It is not perfect measure nothing on which legislators radt- caily disagree ever is-but 1t is the duty on the part of the representatives of both. Senate and House in conference as few dificulties as possible. In some shape the bill must and will be agreed upon. passed, and signed.
 We don't think The Mail needed to waste space fin saying this 'tangle of amendments" which left the Senate Is mot a perfect measure" nor can it deceive ths public by trying to create the impression that it Is an adminlstra- tion-or rather a Roosevelt measure. It lacks about as much of perfection as it did when 1t left the House. If not more. We doubt if a single Senator fully understands 1t. or If there IS any one who approves 1t. It Is not high compliment to that body that only three of them voted against 1t. and we suspect that goodIy number of them voted for 1t in order to get 1t out of the way
 As for the implication of The Mall that Mir. Roosevelt favored the bill, or that the Senate measure is his bill, that is a plain attempt to deceive. If the President ever had any settled convie- tions on the matter he has had to change them so often that probably l e himself doesn't know what he want ed. He is doubtless entitled to the credit of insistence, and of not giving | up till 1t was passed in some form, but he will hardly claim that the "tangle of amendments that left the Senate is what he wanted.
 Now that the Senate has labored so long and has brought forth some sort of rate bill the House can have anoth- CT try at the job. Possibly this Con- xress may enact some kind of a bill on the subject. and 1t Is just about equally possible that 1t will not stand the courts when they get hold of 1t.

Genereslty to Policemen.

Tt pleases me very much to note a disposition on the part of the city coun- cil to augment the salaries of the nlem- bers of the police force by purchasing uniforms for the patrolmen," remarked a well known citizen last evening, and am quite sure there will be no one to raise point of law to defeat the movement.
 The fact is, we pay these men too little for the service rendered. The city might pay justly much more than is paid. Probably SI00 a month would not be excessive for the work done and dangers encountered"
 The same citizen quoted a member of the council as saying that 1t is better to give the men clothes than more money, for if they receive two suits a year they will always be neat and tidy, a thing they often are not under present conditions.
