Driving horses along n track, with a brake to econtrol them, or collectlng fares which are registered by n bell-punch, Js a kind of work which ean he done by almost any one of drdinary Intelligence. Either avoeation Mg the appearanca of case, md Loth are sought for by tho classes numed, even thouzh the wages afford n bare sub- sistence. As men find botter emplo yment they drop oif, and give way {o thg erowd of others In seareh of any lght work that will tide thenr over till something hetter offers. Thu consequences 18 that, as a rule, the car compinies have hundreds of applications on thelr books of persous nnslous for those situntlons at the low wages, and donot recog- ntze-any elaim uvon them by thelr present employés for ati Incrensy of compensation, There is o mlddle view to be taken, Not- withstanding the apparent nhundance of ap- plicatlons for tho positions of drivers and conductors on. the horse-cars at minfmum wages, the horse-railway companfes eannot rely upon filling up their entire foree at any moment of disagreement with thelremployés. The manngers of the West Division road discovered this fact yesterday. There are always men out of & job who sre willing to take the places of those who drop out one by one for reasons sutls- fictory to both upnrties; but such men do not contemplate steady service, and nre nat willing, In case of n genernl strike, to faco the oditn of taking the plucesof the strikers at ridieulously low wages. Ieuce the horse-car managers should recgruize the propriety and adyisabillty of réguluting the compensation they allow thefr employés by the current “rates pald for n stsllar clnss of service In other pursuits, In which hours, osure, and responsibility should be estimnted, ‘There Is another reason why stich o rnle should be adopted, The publie has a strong eluln upon tho street-rpllways for efticlent serviee md polite attentlon. ‘The franchises enjoyed by these corporations ought to assure at lédst that mueh. Iut it is unrensonable to expeet sueh service and attention fromn class of underpaid, dissatistied men, who consent to rn the borse-cats only s minke- shift. until they enu obtain other aud bettér cemployment, In justice to the pubile, there- fore, tho horse-car companles should pny thelr drivers'and conductors fulr woges, and thus provide n corps of expertenced, efliclent, and falthfut men, who wiil feel an interest in thelr business. g . I'he sympnthy'of tho publie with the West Side condurtors and drivers was nerensed by other clreumstanees than those which have been mentioned. ‘The winter hus been unusuutly long amd severe, The Jurge muount of snow wnd e has been exceeding- Iy embarrassing to the street-ear companles, 1t hind been supposed that the corporations sustained the luss incldent to frequent stop- pages and profonged runs, Companies of capitallsts take sugh risks when they organ- Ize raflrond or other enterprises, The street- ilway companies of Chleago ean well af- ford to bear up.nmder oecastonad diminution of their profits, for thelr stock yickds divi- dends out of all propution 1o the nversse rate of interest, When' IL was' discovered that the West-Slde Company sought to siddle upon thelr employés (whom they were: paying barely Jiving wages at the best) a purt of the losses inci- dent to stormy wenther, though the labor of these employés was Incrensed thereby, thiere was considerablo renson for public In- dhanntion ws well as united profest on the part of the cmployés, Tereafter the ear companies will appeal to the publle In vain in ease of o strlke unless the demands of thelr employés he clearly exteavagnant and unreasonable, Tho conditlon of thelr busl- ness Wil nlways enable them to seenre the soervices of drlvers nml eonductors nta low rate, But tho car companfes must not try to syneeze the men below the Jowest mark. Moreover, they should allow for the deposits, tho uniforms, the neat appearance, the intel- Hggence, the politeness, the responsibility, and the strict comphiance with vigid rules which tho wunugers vequire from thelr drivers and contduetors, and take nts acconnt thelr own corporate obligations to the public. AMERIOAN DAIRY PRODUOTS, ‘The export of dulry produets from New York for tho ten months from Muy 1, 1880, o Mareh 81, 1881, were us follow: Rutter, pounds, Cneese, pound During tho samne period no less than 10,410, 052 pounds of oleomnrgaring wero exported. From an wddress mudo by President I, D, Moulton, of the Internetionat Dalry Assocla- tion, we learn some faets concerning the Rrowth and magnitude of the dalry business of the Unlted States.

The foregronud represents u street with dilnpidated, tumble-doswn tene- ment houses on elther side. ‘I'ho bisements are ueeupled by Jager beer and laquorsnloons, and prominent among them nn undertaker’s shop. The floors above swarm with wretehed crentures, wrangling with ench other in the windows, emptying down chdamber and kitehen slops Into tho street, and hanglug outl thelr filthy clothiug. In the street itself men and wotnen are earrying pitelhiers and Jugs from the rumeshops to thoir rooms, and the half-clad children aro playing In the hideous conglomeration of mud, sewage, rotten straw, bones, tin cans, dead eats, and all manner of flith, while o hearse stands suggestively just round the corncr. ‘Tha contrast Is shown in the background, which I3 n seenc made up of wooded hills, sunlight, distant water, o elear blue sky, and a villago of plensant, cozy lttle cottages, ench with its Iittlo garden-plot, and intersceted by wn clevated raflway. In tho mildst of the filthy stveet, Puck Is Interviowing n caplinlist, and snys to nim: ** Why not build $1,000 cottages and let them to our Inboring classes at $12° a month, so that they wmay brénthe pure alr,—It would bo & paying in- vestment ' to which the capialist replies: ** My dear fellow, they wouldn’t live In them I 1did. Lven it they have to Jodze over o stable or a gin-midll, they won't leave the elty” The capitalist 1s absolutely right, Puck has nover uttered a greater truth, **They won't leave the clty.” As Puck says Iu its own comments: “On Long Islawd and in New Jersey land ischeap, 'The prosperous workinzman inay buy, the struggling laborer may rent & comfortable homo for less than he pays for his fl-lighted, Ht-ventilated tenement-house room In the Sixth Ward of New York. Yet the workingman lives In New York, a proy to disease, half-burled In dirt, uncomfortable, unhealthy, with nothing to make him spend his evenlngs at home, with everything to make him spend them In tho whisky and beer shops.” ‘I'his evil, however, Is not confined to New York, Inproportion to population Chicago Is suffering from the same ovil. Therg s in evory large eity, besides the workingmen, a cluss of lgnorant, filthy, besotted, hnlf-civil- fzed people, who pick up what they can get during the day and squander It at night In gin-mllls and whisky-shops, and who always herd together jn close proximity to a drunk- ard fuetory. They mre nacked, together in some filthy tenement-house ko hogs In car, 'Thelr squalld lodgings are tho breeding- places of disease, and in every thne of epl- denle it sweeps among them ke fire througlh stubble, They ure the breeding-places of erime as well ns of disease, and keep the piblic constantly busy. Children die of the foul air aml contuglon In swarms, and Jundreds of the littie wretehes never know what the suniight and pure air mean. Chl- engo Is full of thess places.” Lhey abound all aloug both brane of tho river. Itis as thue here ng elsewhere that one-haif of the peoplo of this elty do nol kuow how the other half live. A multitude of veople In Chicago are lving in reoms that never have purealr In them, and searcely nny sunlight, that are constantly filled with the wmalarin of the drainy, that are nnstier than hog-pens, that ara atlve with vermin, and In every one of these squalid dentres, these swampholes of ' physleal and moral poison, thore Is 4 Nyuor-shop dealing out 1ts cqually deadly polson and stlll further besotting and degrading these poor creat- ures, and yet they will not leave them, There are plenty of enpitalists In Chiengo who eould rlehly niford to erect neat littlo “cottnges In the near subwrbs to rent for §10 or $12 u month, nnd who woukl do 1t if there were any demand for them, WIith cheap land there §s no reason why thess people might not llve happily and comfortably, wl more cheaply than they do Yn tho city. They conld have a little ground for o garden, room enough for thelr pliz and cow, smplo playground for their ehtldren, and the blessings of pure nir atul health, Instead of avalling themseclyes of such advantages, they preter to watlow in filth, to patrentze the gin-ullls, and to go to Connmunistle meetings and haw! about high rents and denounee capital.

THE PARIS MONETARY CONFERENCE, Wao printed somo days ago the text of tho program or formal presentation of the scheme for the establishment of bimetallism which [ to bu laid boture the Monctary Con- terence which meots {n Parls on tho 19th of this month, While this program hind by no means been lixed as the exuet demand by any Uovernnient, it 18 presentod as the busis of discusslon und o general expression of opin- fon lendimz up to such conclusion as may prove to be genorally neceptable. 16 may now bo consldered eertain that England will not bo a party to the Conferenee, unless it bo throngh some agent to represent Indin, The States which will particlpnte aro Franee, the United States, ftaly, Belelum, Switzerland, and perhapy Austrla and Spahi. Germany will certainly be ropresented, but witl not be baund by iny netlon of the Conference unless it shall meet tho Imperiad approval. ‘The stntement of the case on the part of the bi- metallists Is i vory strong one. It presents o following points: (1) That bimetalism Is that wmonetary systum which consists of the shinultuueons colirlng of any quantity of gold and silver on tho fouting of o lepat ratlo . between the wolght of tho monetary unlt I gold and the samo unlt insllver, and which until a fuw yours iy always been practiced, (2) That for nearly a eentury the prineipal Continent- almints huve colned all gold nnd silvor at tho legid ratio of 135 to 1, whoreby along tho relative value of the two metals was neeessarily fised In the entip world, (3 By this universal pur of value'the gold and sftver of the entive world*formed o slngle muss a8 homogeneous us 1f composod of o singlo metat, but with a stability of puying power greater than either mutal woulil havo Iad I disjolned from the other, und wholly owving any lrregularity In the amount of elther metad produced, (1) This unlversal par in values of the two motals has been of the greatest service to mono- wotullle States, as England and Indla, ¢n- abling those countrles to settle thelr dealings with the same facility that could exist If they had but the sumo metsl wy wouey, (8) ‘Thoe suspenslon of freo colnage of sliver suspended this universal between tho two metals, (8) Europs and the Unkted States aro incumbered with colned stiver whieh pannot he eon- verted Into money I other countries, () This silver ennnot bo withdrawn from clren- Intlon beeause of the grent loss, nd beeatso of the Immense contractlon of the world's money, a vold whieh eannot be filled with the present or any future supply of gold. () The return to blmetalllsm and the adoption of the ratio of 15!¢ to 1 would lhuvo tho effect of reitstablishing on a solid basis the old universal par of valne botween tho two metals, enabling International payments in sliver, nnd mnking silver a universal money, For theso reasons an international treaty Is proposed establishing the ratio of 1634 na tho par of value between gold and silver; each State to coin all the silver nnd gold offered for that purpose ; gold nnd sliver monoey shall alike b Jegal tender to any amount In the State colning the same; gold sl stiver to Lo free of Import or export dutys this agree- ment to continue untit 1900, What will bo the nction of Germany is not altogether certaln, The London Saturday Review of n late date thus states tho present aspeet of the ense In Gormuny: In tho Tefestag ono dny Inst week Herr Soholz, n Commissary of the Government, rend o puper In tho nnute “of Prince Iismnrek whicn thraws soma Hiht n}mn tha subject.

Gersmany has already more sliver—Ilegal-tender—in clr- ealation than hns the United States, and thera 19 .o goneral demand for more of it. Thoe proposed ratio is also now reeognized in Germuny, The only possible objection which 13 wrred {3 the reguirement of colnage of all the silver presented. Of course the wonometallle organs of Wall street Indignantly declnre that no such sensiblo or ratlonnl nttempt to secure an un- fulling supply of metallie money, equal to the world’s wants, and always ol a par vaiue hetween tho metals, can ever bo adopted, All Wall street protests, but the result witl havd- 1y be Influenced by blasts from that quarter, pur ot valuo Bane Con- SECRETARY BLAINE'S OPPORTUNITY. T'rof. 1ind’s Intest letter on the subject o the Canadlan fisheries aud the oxcessive and frandulent award under the Treaty of Wash- ngton should spur the State Department to n more Imperative demand than has yet been made upen the Britlsh Government for re- vision of the case amd u restitution of the money extorted from the Awerlean Govern-_ ent by forgery and fraud. 1t way ba that the late Administration was doterred from pressing for u readjustment of the fishorles dispute beenuso It feft that an exposure of the methods whereby the award wus secured would be u scrious reflection upon the com- petence of the State Departinent of that tlme. But Secretary Blaine eannot bo gov- erned by any such motive. Indeed, ho de- nownced the conelusions of the Hatifux Com- misglon ns unfuir, and plainly intinnted that they had been proeured by fraud, before ho left the Sennte for the Cablnet, o should follow up his convletions vizorously now ho is In a pusition to glve them exccutlve ax- presslon. 1t 1s possible that any proposition to reopen tho Ilnlifax enso on any charge of frawd nt which the Britlsh Governmont had connlved—sueh s the Inculpatlon of the Belglan Minister, who neted us one of the Commlsstoners—would exelte speclal antag- onlsm, os England would. be averse to ad- mittine anything of "the kind. Idut P’rof. Hind furnishes another basts for proceeding, Ilo Insists that tho estimate of damnges was made upon false tables of the fisn-eateh; that tho tables included masses of fish which wero expressly excluded by the Treaty of Washineton; that forgery und fraud were resorted to In order to swell the elalm for dutages, e elaims that this statement ean be verlfied by the records, nnd ho appeals to Lngtlsh honesty and honor to muke the nee- essary Investigation to demonstrate whether ho s right or wrong. Upon so confldent n statement ns this, itonly needs the dotermined Insistance of the Umted States Government to bring thaense to # vehenrine, It Is the duty of Mr, Blnino not morely to the Amerlean people, but to the prinelple of arbitration, to demand n reopeninz of the whole case. If arbitration % to bo condueted upon tho basls of fraud, and If froud be permijted to stand atter it has beon exposed, then Internntional conforence may us woll b abandoned ns substitute for war, THE REVISED NEW TESTAMENT. It hus bLeen ofticlally announced that the revised New Testamont §s ot lust complet- ed and will be glven to the public during tho latter purt of May, As to the necessity for the revision thera has been o grent dend of question, The very radical class of Chrise thuns havo looked upon It'almost ns gaerl- leglous to ehauge the rending of a single text, and will undoubtedly subjeet the work when It appears to very sweeping and severe eriticism, “There Is sthit another ¢lass whoto objections have been of a sentimental char- uneter, They do not want tho old text dis- turbed, beeause it Is snered to them from long rending, close fumilinrity, and pleasant associntlons, With all its alleged ervors, it has been w great comfort and o suflidlent solace to them in lonely hours, and they ave fancled that thelr favorit texts, which thoy have committed to mewmory, would lose some- thing ot thelr sphric Ina new dress, Phera romatns still nnother ¢lnss who undoubtedly would Hke to have the Bible modernized and conform to the style of modern books in its Hiterary style, though this 13 opposed to the spirit of the so-ealled modern * eulehinh which npes the aptigne however hideous or -grotesque It may be, However people may view the fact of re- vislon, there Iy one fenture of the ruvislon upon which they will all ngree—namely: that tho prico at which it Is proposed to sel) the Now Testament (twelve dollurs) Is an out- rageoits one, and smacks of the overchargtmg of a monepoly, Upless the new copy owmits the invitation to partake of the Bread of Life treely, this tarlil §s a strangely Inconsistent one. It looks very much us If the revisers, -having o corner upon the Now ‘Testument, wuere golng to make a good thing out of it, They have counted, howover, very wide of thelr wark, In theso days of cheap and rapid publication, no ono will be ' likely to pay 813 for his New 'Testatuent when he can get It for almost s many centa. Six publishers have already an- nouneed that within forty-eight hours after the work Is offered for sale they wil flood tho market with reprints at prices ranging from n few cents up to a dollar. 'This, of course, will kill the opening sale of theof- fickul copy, as It ought to do, at such o priee, and will suspend its snle until is pricels brought within the menns of ordinary people, A reporter of the New York Evening Post, who ling heen Interviewing the publishers, was Informed by the llarpers that they thought It possivle *to got the Testament out In forty-clght hours if the first edition was allowed to pass with no more proof- reading than an ordinary novel received, In steh n work as the New Testament, and es- pecially In tho present case, when each ehango of o lettor or a punctuntion mark wiit be critielsed, it Is lmportant that no typo- graphienl errors shall be nllowed to pass.” In this work publishers will be greally helpeit by the type-setting wachines, cach of which, under the manipulation of two men, will set 50,000 ems n day, aul by the phototype process, which 1a thus desertbed: ** A dozen peges of the book to be repruduced nre put fn aframe and photographed, ‘T'ho negatlve s placed face down upon n bed of gelntine and pot- ash and exposed to thesun.

Those who desire the revision will therefore have no diffienlty in securing it. If It has the value which the revisérs clatm for It, It ought to bo a happy rellection for them that tha faciitles for cheap publication will cireu- Inte it brondeast almost **without money and without priee.” It scems that the alleged derogatory re- mark nbout Jows, which It Is charged Mr, Clark mnie, Wns many yenrs ago.
