1NOTHER IBUSE ENDED.

In putting 2n end III his circular re-
garding the forthcoming bond sale to
the practice of selling corporate stock
for various municipal purposes" Con
troller Prendergast introduces a much
needed reform in the financial manage
ment of the city. The practice introduced
by Controller Grout OF selling vast
amounts of bonds without designating
the purpose for which the money was to
be employed put enormous sums in the
hands of the Controller for use virtually
at his discretion. Out of il sprang the
habit of employing the money raised in
this way TO pay the most pressing claims
against the city. irrespective of whether
or not such use was proper.
Controller GrOuts plan was adopted
with the 0Stensible purpose of giving the
Finance Department in the use of funds
raised by the sale of corporate stock Il
reasonable discretion, which it did not
have under the previous practice, of
stating in detail the items for which the
sums were borrowed. For example,
under the former practice money raised
for school building in 72d street and
not needed at once could not be used for
another building upon which work was
advancing more rapidly. Mr.. Prender-
CASTS method of specifying the purposes
for which the money is raised under
classes instead of individually leaves
sufficient discretion in his hands with
cut being open TO the abuses of the
blanket designation.
Thus, where the old plan would spec
if Il school building in 72d street and
another in Tooth street. for example, and
Controller CIRCUITS plan would 90 no
further than give the blanket designa-
tion for various municipal purposes
Mr.. prendergast's method specifies that
Il certain amount is for bridges" an
other for docks and ferries another
for schools" ana SO forth. Thus the
general pot goes, while the Finance
Department is not unreasOnably ham
pered by excessively detailed restric-
tons on the use of funds at its com
mand. 1t is an important reform and
one for which The Tribune has been
firmly cOntending. With the other re-
forms which the present Controller has
undertaken it will powerfully contribute
To the restoration of the city'S credit

OUR GEPNAN RIVALS.

The little furry over the American
exposition i'll Berlin is followed by talk
of a patent war; between Germany and
the United States, which must be re
Garded as unfortunate and injudiciOuS. Ii
has been represented in the Reichstag
that American patent holders enjoy
rights and privileges under German law
which Germans themselves do not en-
JOY. and that thus German industry has
been made to suffer greatly, and the
German government has promised 10 in
tr0ducc 4 bill dealing with the subject
which will give Germans at least rs
good a standing in their own country
rs Americans possess. Those representa-
tions may be entirely true. ana those in
tentiOnS of the government may be full
filled without causing anything like a
patent war or in any way impairing
the cordial relations which exist between
the two countries.
The giSt of the trouble seems to be
that American patent laws are less eX-
acting than those OF Germany in their
requirements of actual production of the
patented articles, and that under exist
ing international arrangements Amer
leans have in Germany the same rights
that Germans have here 1t is quite
obvious that such an arrangement might
work material hardship TO German
manufacturers, but it is confidently to
be believed that the grievance could be
remedied without the least unfrendli-
peSs between the two countries. Amer
leans do not, of course, intend to relin-
quiSh their rights. under law and treat
les. But they would presumably not be
asked TO do SO under such a law as that
which the German government now
proposes, which would not discriminate
against Americans, but would merely
put an end to discrimination against
Germans. All that either nation should
ask and we believe, all that either does
ask is square deal"
We must recognize the fact that Ger
many, in her marvellous industrial and
commercial expansion under the pro-
tcctive tariff system, has become our
chief competitor in the markets Of the
world and regards us rs her chief com
petitor. hat is inevitable. and it is not
regrettable. There must be keen rivalry
between the two nations, but it would be
monstrous 10 suggest that Industrial and
commercial rivalry necessarily implied
social estrangement or political un-
friendliness individuals who are rivals
IN business are often warm friends. and
never are, for business reasons, personal
enemies unless one has resorted to some
dishonorable or unworthy method of
competition If the public men and pub
lic prints of both countries observe the
same courtesy and consideration, each
TO the other, that self-respecting indiyid-
uals practise i'll private life there will
be no occasion for any patent war" or
tariff war; or anything of the sort
between two great, nations which all
natural conditions seem TO have designed
to be cordial friends.

EDECATION AND FALSE PRIDE

Ebt I ~ ION mi FILoL IhIDL'
The assertion of the manager of the
National Employment Exchange that
there is scarcity of manual labor and
superfiuity of the other kind will
cause 10 surprise. 1t is not unusual for
clerk labor to be II drug on the mar
ket.' as Mr.. t-rpenter puts it, while it
is impossible to supply the demand for
labOrerS and mechanics. That is normal
under present conditions. The relative
supply is reflected in the wages offered
for one class of emplOye and for the
other. Even though the pressure Of the
present high cost of living falls more
heavily upon the clerk. b0okkeeper and
ordinary salesman, with his practically
immovable rate of pay, than on the
manual worker skilled or unskilled,
whose wages respond more readily to
changed conditions, we do not suppose
the time will soon come when 'clerk
labor will cease TO be q drug OH the
market.
Put the blame for the situation where
you will-on the labor organizations
and the restrictions they place upon the
IG6TnlilG Oh lEdOSS, OF OlI TIC IulSt
of the youth who is averse to working
with the handS-it is plain that a So
ciety which habitually produces a sur
plus of labor in one direction and Il def
cheney in another is not performing IT'S
functions properly. If the labor unions
are responsible, then society is not
doing its duty i'll providing opportuni-
ties for acquiring manual skill to make
up for the closing of avenues by organ
lied labor. If false pride is the explana-
ton, then society fosters that false
pride by laying a false stress some
where.
Perhaps the fault is to be found In
The educational system of the country.
We pass over the question, not yet set
tied of how far the state should go in
providing industrial training for the
young. TO point out the fact that actual
education has an unconscious tendency
away from manual industry. 1t IS
looked upon by the majority as teaching
how TO earn a living otherwise than
with the hands. The stress which 1t
lays on certain attainmentS, the "suc-
cess in life which it loves to point out,
encourages the widely prevalent notion
that two opposite poles of humanity are
the Learned professions" and manual
labor Between these two range the
other classes, clerks and boOkkeepers, If
not actually in the blessed circle of the
learned professions, being at least fort
unately nearer akin to them than to
those on the other end of the scale who
soil their hands with industry. We
have no idea of accusing educators Of
entertaining such a conception, but in
practice they have not commonly set
their faces squareIy against it. If the
idea that the clerk who cannot obtain
employment is the superior Of the me-
chanic whose services are constantly in
demand is ever TO be eradicated, it will
have TO be eradicated from the minds
of children in the public schools.

rent treatment not of tn unfortunate
but of the incorrigibly vicious.
A dispatch from Boston the other day
conveyed the information that the ro-
lice authorities of that city had arrested
n number of professional criminals,
chiefly pickpockets, and had ordered
under penalty or
prosecution and imprisonment-to Ieaye
Boston. at the same time telling them
significantly ut what time the next
train departed for New York. Practical
ly In that act the New England metrop-
oils was dumping it's undesirable denl-
zens on New York. BY way of partial
conversation for this unwelcone atten-
ton the New York police were informed
OF what had been done and were
warned Of the approach of the criminal
incursion. for which thoughtful ser
vice New York should be duly grateful
Now. we are making no particular
complaint against Boston, being mindful
Of the vitreous and fragile covering Of
our own municipal domicile. New York
has done precisely the same with in
Vulnerable Crooks and so have many
other cities. That, indeed. is why we
are inclined to raise a serious question
concerning the eXpediency and the
morality of thus bidding the enemies of
society to Move on" In some fragrant
cases, no doubt, it is fitting and desir-
able to do so. Thus when an immigrant
with criminal record arrives at Ellis
Island it is right to send him back 10
the land whence he came, partly be-
cause we are entitled TO resist and pre-
vent the dumping of alien criminals
upon us and partly because if he is to
be punished for his crimes it must be
iii the place where they were committed,
and not here, where lie has not yet
tranSgreSsed the law. Similarly, If
man commits specific crime in one
American city and fees to another, it is
right to arrest him and send him back.
But all that Is very different from the
move on" practice TO which We have
referred.
The men and women who are thus
driven from place TO place have perhaps
sinned in all places which they have
visited and are subject to punishment
III any pIdCc- II Oue Guy HAS PROOF OI
their crimes IL ought itself to punish
or restrain them and not remit the job
to some other place. If it has no such
proof, it has no right to exile them. The
whole practice is faulty in logic and in
morals It is also, we believe. of worse
than doubtful eXpediencey. 1t has no
tendency to reform the subjects of it,
if they are capable of reform, but rather
it confirms them in evil ways, and in
stead of restricting the scope of their
nefariOus activities obviously enIarges
it. 1t would be better from every point
of view to hold criminals fast wherever
they are detected than to compel them
to move on"
