But only strangers do that; people who live here and who haveseen how the citizen is robbed and misgoverned in all or nearly all of the great centers of population in the United | ‘States are more than sstixfied with prevail- ing conditions. Reasons for this contentment make their appearance frequently, and several have come to the surface quite recently, espe- cially in those cities where municipal control is exclusively in the hands of « political “boss,” whose main cbject is the training of many men to follow him that he and the political party to which he is attached may be financially bene- fited. * Attention is once more directed to this ex- tremely undesirable characteristic of such cities as New York and Brooklyn by the practically forced resignation of Thomas 3, Brennan,whose uty it was to see that New York's streets were kept clean, but who failed lamentably. And so will any man, so matter how much executive ability he may possess, so long as Richard Croker or any other politician has power suffi- cient to control every appointment made by the mayor of New York city or any of the mayor's subordinates. When men are placed on the manicipal pay roll simply because they will vote s certain ticket, and may not be dis- charged, no mattér how inefficient they are, be- esuse their reraoval would damage political or- ganization, the public is not getting a fair ex- change for its m@mey. And that is the condi- tion in which New York has been for many years. Ex-Commissioner Brennan has been quoted as saying that the streets cannot be kept lean. but his statement does not amount to anything in the face of Washington’s experience. With a comparatively small sum of money not alone the streets but the alleys also of the national capital are cleaned—a result that seems to be unattainable in New York, although the annual appropriation for street sweeping exceeds two millione of dollars, and has the assistance of an association of business men who tee that Gotham's shopping district is always as neat as the weather will permit. In Brooklyn the party “boss” is also injuriously supreme, but it is not the same boss, Croker’s power wanes at the western end of the bridge, Hugh McLaughlin is suprenie at the other extremity. Truthfully bas it been said that McLaughlin holds the democratic party of Kings county in the hollow of his hand, ‘and as the democratic party in Kings county has possession of the offices McLaughlin is nothing Jess than monarch of allhe surveys. Mavorsdo his bidding without question, although they ’ sacrifice their reputations by so doing, and even district,attorneys are pliant in his grasp. Quite ‘Fecent!y the Brooklyn board aldermen gave away several valuable street railway franchises when those same privileges might easily have been sold for a large sum for the city’s benefit. Brooklyn's =| lead any one to suppose that pecuniary loss is quence of the wider circulation sure to follow the reduction in price. There is therefore nothing in the casein Boint to attract special attention, much less to likely to follow. The plain and simple truth is that the cost of getting up all the leading montblies of the country is absurdly exagger- ated, and the price charged for them is out of all proportion to either the cost of their pro- duction or their intrinsic value. This can be easily demonstrated by comparing what they give for the money with what is furnished for werage of one-tenth of their price by the Saturday and Sunday issues of the leading daily ner of the country. Another illustra. tion of the point is supplied by the fact that, whereas purchasers of The Century and Har- per’s Monthly in this country have to pay thirty-five cents per copy for either of those periodicals, they are retailed ftom all the book Stails in Europe, where there is a demand for English reading matter, at twenty-fire cents each! Comment on this fact is unnecessary. It tells the story moro conclusively than would a column of argument. ———_—_—> oo The advantages consequent upon mutual support were never more evident than in New | York during the perilous financial period through which this country has just passed, and the bankers of other cities are following the example of their New York brethren in uniting to prevent senseless and ruinous panics. The shoulder-to-shoulder methods have done reat deal to restore confidence and to put life in many of the sluggish business concerns. Im- Provement is evident in all directions. The New York World, discussing the situation to- day, sayy: “Bankers ara generally believe that the bottom has been reached and that liquidation is shout over. Pestdas the ‘signs of soundness, such as the quick i gg nem of: the New York Joans by the western ks, there are other hopeful indications. There ‘has been no great | mercantile failure. During the month of June detween $60,000,000 and $70,000,000 of mercan- tile paper fell due in this city. Nearly every dollar of it was paid without the ruin of any bpp business — i is a 43 ‘& strong constitution. i Beeties this the, tng of the New York banks is admirable. The igeue of the clearing bouse certificates, which wili be main- tained as long as they are needed, eveila- ble as actual cash about 75 per cert of the face valne of every sound security heid by the banks. The banks use the certificates to customers. Nearly wore issued up to July 12, and ‘bie ‘amount very nearly took the place of the lost deposits.” These conditions are most pleasing to those who have endeavored to stem the tide of af- frighted sentimeut that but a few days since rushed along at a most undesirably rapid rate. The strain has been very great indeed, but the worst is over and one of the first things finan- cial men should attend to is the making or per- fecting of such organization in each city as will negative any efforts conaciencelesa politicians or unscrupulous stock brokers may put forth to disturb public confidence. ——____ ++ More than a few naval officers anda great many people who are not particularly interested in naval affairs are engaged in criticising the Navy Department's action in summarily retir- ing Rear Admiral Harmony. The records show that Admiral Harmony had applied for retire- ment under the law which grants that privilege to those officers who have served not less than forty years. He was then commanding on the China station, and when he recently returned to San Francisco reported to the mayor, despite the protests of decent people, approved their act, and wnen the grand jury wanted to indict him the district attorney ad- vised the jary that it was powerless to find true ills fn such cases, although if he was fit to oc- eupy his high office he must have known that such advice was contrary to the law as it exists in New York. is most loudly about their rights are least considerate of other ‘s equities, and of this Colorado's comic-opera governor is a living witness—a noisy and seems to be his—when he yelled “insurrection” people in the east; we want to scare them to now as though the tables were to be turned to some extent so far as language is concerned. But Davis H. Waite, through the thoughtiessness of 44,242 people, should remember that curses have an incon- ‘opens his mouth he forecloses many mortgages and may, if not stopped, be so successful in scaring the people of ‘the east as to bring about mach suffering in Colorado. ‘Tux Srap is advised by a correspondent that the keen desire of the Washington and George- town Railway Company was to have its Four- |! teenth street line diverge from the Pennsylvania avenue line at the crossing of those two streets. as suggested in a late issue, instead of thecircuitous route by way of Fifteenth street and New York svenue, but that Congress would not permit that tobe done. The reasons for this refusal have not been stated; but unless there were more cogent objections than now appear we vabould say that Congress made a bad mess of it, and the sooner it corrects the error the better for everybody. ———_ +2 —___ A good deal of comment is made in reading @ircles on the fact that the selling price of The Cosmopolitan monthly maguzine has been reduced from twenty-five cents per number to twelve-and-a-haif cents. The departure noted is something of a novelty in the domain of magazine publishing, but a+ a business propo- | sition there is nothing in it that should excite’ surprise or win admiration for the pioneer in | the new movement. There is plenty of profit | to the publisher at the reduced price, as a little | study will show. For example, any Saturday issue of Tae! Evewrse Sraz, which issold for tro cents, con- | tains more reading matter than an ordinary | number of the magazine in question. Ditfer- | ent in character, it is true, but quite as useful, | and no less valuable. And, one way and | another, it probably costs as much as do the contents of an average number of the monthly. ‘The Istter uses a finer article of paper, of course, and some attractive illustrations. | ‘These, however, being produced by the cheap and quick procewes now in use, cost but little more than would the same space filled with let- tor press, while the slight difference in the cost of paper and slower press work is much more than made up by the wide difference between two and twelve-and-a-balf cents.

To this must | ‘tlso be added the proceeds of the scores of ad- vertising pages, for space in which enormous | Prices are paid, and the future income from this | source will be largely augmented in conse- | deadly trolley. department by wire, Immediately thereafter he was notified by telegraph that his request for retirement had been acceded to. There was great discourtesy in the haste shown and great injustice in severing the admiral’s'con- nection with the active list while he wus three thousand miles from his home. He deserved every consideration, but got none, for the over-speedy acceptance made him pay his traveling expenses to this city. An ordinary seaman would kere been permitted to return to his home before being retired; why should less courtesy be shown an officer of bigh rank who has served the country with honor for nearly half s century? Who was ina hurry to be promoted? - ; a nd ‘The appointments to vacancies caused by the removal of police surgeons are evidently being considered with deliberate care by the Com- missioners. The filling of the positions is worthy of some thought, as the duties which devolve upon them—the attendance upon po- licemen and firemen who may be ill or injured— should command the services of men of recog- nized skill and standing in their profession. +e ‘If France wants to exterminate the Siamese it would be much more diplomatic for her to make peaceful overtures and introduce the 20 It will take more than a small comet with an abbreviated tail to shoulder the burden of blame for some of the hair trigger speeches that have been made of late. ee As an observer of recent events, Senator Hill is doubtless philosopbizing to the effect that there is such a thing ss having altogether too many opinions to express.

Business has improved very materially dur- ing the past few days,and with the exception of & few bank failures in Denver and Kansas City there have been no startling changes in the financial situation. Public confidence, however, is being re-established, and a large amount of bastly withdrawn money has been and is bei posited in most of the ban institu “throughout the country.
