How te Katse the Workingman’s Wages If a young fellow, at twenty-one, has health, strength, no bad habits and a good trade, we reckon him pretty fairly started in life. If, besides this, his mind is alert and his hand skilful, he is pretty sure of making himself a place in the world. We should think it no great hardship for him if he did not yet own a house, or a shop, or even a chest of tools; but if he had all these things the community in which he lived young fellow, even if he attained his major- ity at a time when business was not very brisk. If Mr. Wendell Phillips and Mr. W. D. Kelley should come along and tell him that having so many things made him poor, that his chest of tools was a disadvan- tage to him, his shop a misfortune, and that his house, only a part of which he could oc- eupy, would certainly be the ruin of him, probably they would get laughed at. The house may be too big, and poorly furnished, the young fellow would reply; the shop may not be y busy just now; I y not have a chance at this moment to use all my tools at once, but certainly I am the better off for having them; I am ready to go to work as | soon as business revives; I don't have to | earn those things; my wages, when I earn e because I have already these things at hand.

We took some pains recently to inquire into. the feeling of property holders on Third avenue as to the building of a rapid transit railway over that avenue between the Battery and Harlem, Our reporter says that “there is not the slightest doubt that the vast majority of property owners oppose rapid transit on their own avenue.” The agents of the Third avenue railway line have been busily engaged in canvassing the an elevated road. “It was a remarkable fact,” continues our reporter, “that searcely any of these property owners take to rapid | transit itself; a majority of them say they would like an elevated railroad well enough on Second or Fourth, or on any other ave- nue but Third.” What thoy#fear is the dim- inution of business and ‘the deterioration of property.” It is the same fear that was expressed in Brooklyn when it was proposed | to build an elevated railway along Myrtle avenue, The business men and property owners along that avenne made such a clamor that the authorities were led to cancel their resolutions and to indefinitely postpone the | whole scheme, It isa singular illustration of human na- ture that there never can be an invention or a suggestion for public improvement which has not at first been opposed by a majority of the very people who in the end were most | benefited py its introduction, Take the | progress of ‘labor saving machinery ‘as an | illustration, The cotton gin and cotton looms | wére assailed as sure to destroy the industry ofthe people.

The Politics of Cities. _ The increasing tendency of our popula- tion to congregate in cities, which has re- ceived a new illustration in the recent State census of New York, besets the politics of the country with a danger which grows con- stantly more alarming. During the first half century of the Republic our population was chiefly agricultural, with a great ap- proach to equality in property, intelligence and morals. The scum and dregs which form so large a part of all city populations were almost unknown, But at present the dangerous classes in cities often hold the question whether we can preserve our in- stitutions without interposing new checks on the power of demagogues over the criminal population, The art of polities in a great | city like New York, for example, has de- generated into the creation or maintenance of organizations for enabling crafty lead- ers to consolidate large. magjos of the lowest class of voters in “a com- pact phalanx, to be moved at tho beck of one dictator or a few oligarchs. The Tammany organization is acasein point, It | revolutionized modern society by creating new industries. In newspaper printing there expense which has not first been opposed ‘by the workingmen on the same ground, that steam and quick printing machinery would throw many men out of employment, | and if publishers had been governed by the | mechanics we should now be printing the and exhausting the resources of our estab- | lishment to produce five or six thousand copies aday. When railroads were first propos they were vehemently denounced. Great lords, who afterward became rich beyond | imagination by the increase in the value of their property arising from railroads, pro- tested and opposed and fought them on the ground that they would destroy the game preserves and frighten the cattle and invade the privacy of private life. When gas was first proposed petition after petition was sent up to the authorities setting forth that the public life and public property would be endangered from a sudden explosion, which might bury even cities in ruins. When Croton water was first suggested there was an angry strife in New York, and it was only by aclose vote, after much labor, that the | d toaccept the greatest boon of modern civilization—fresh | clear water in abundant supply. And so we might continue the illustra- tions. The story of rapid transit is therefore S$ was easily controlled by Tweed ; it is con- trolled with equal ease by Mr. Kelly ; both maintain their ascendancy by the same dis- reputable means of favoring the wishes of the worst part of the population. We happen to have in our most important crimi- nal court a Judge who has made himself ‘‘a terror to evil doers,” and has incurred the enmity of the whole body of rowdies, thieves, burglars and cutthroats. Mr. Kelly finds it necessary, a8 a means of preserving his power, to appease and satisfy the criminal classes by making war upon this upright and efficient magistrate. These classes are | formidable in our politics only by combina- tion under leaders who use them as tools. If we could break the combination we should escape the danger. The democracy of the rural districts have long been sensi- ble that such organizations as Tammany are a great nuisance, anda few years ago the late Mr. Cassidy offered a resolution in the State Convention witha view to shatter the in- fluence of Tammany. That resolution, which was adopted, made it a standing rule that the party should recognize no such organization, and thatall delegates to the State Convention should be chosen in the cities, as they are in the country, by the democrats of the separate Assembly districts, without any outside in- terference. This rule, though kept in force, has been evaded in substance by the Tam- many organization ; but it is nevertheless a valuable democratic testimony to the evil of political organizations which destroy the balance of power, and it has becomea serious | only an old, old story. If these gentlemen | jndiyidual independence of voters and:sub- of Third avenue who oppose the build- | vert the first principles of democracy.

There has never been a more should much rather have a light built, airy trestlework over our head, with swiftly pass- ing trains at regular intervals, and the | peen for twenty years the plague of demo- | | eratie State conventions, which came near | ruining the party under Tweed and has now whole surface strect in front free, than to have the lumbering, noisy, uncomfortable street railways which now pass along. If the | property holders on Greenwich street were | polled to-day we have no doubt that the ma- | jority of them would say that they prefer the | elevated railway to the surface car. Tho effect of building an elevated way on Third avenue would be to make it the great | artery between New York and its principal | suburbs. It would bring business and.ad- | vance property. There is not a house be- | tween Fifth avenue and Second avenue on the whole line of this route that would not | feel a perceptible advance on account of this elevated railway. The only interests that could suffer, so far as we can see, are the fruit dealers on the corners and an occa- sional news stand. But so far as the general benefit is concerned, and especially the ben- | fit of the business men on Third avenue | themselves, we have no doubt that time will show in this, as in other cases, that what seems to be a calamity will in the end prove an advantage and a blessing.

The Third Avenue Bank and Its De- positors. The depositors of the Third Avenue Say- ings Bank appear to be resolved to adopt ac- tive measures for their own protection. Naturally they have no faith in the receiv- ership of Mr. Carman, who, as secretary of the bank, connived at the dishonest act of re- ceiving deposits when it was known that tho institution was bankrupt and that the de- | positors must lose the greater portion of their money, and who is said to have signed and verified some of the false reports of the condi- tion of the bank made to the Banking Depart- ment. The proposition to apply to the courts to set aside Mr. Carman and appoint some other receiver meets with favor. It is urged asa reason why this step should not be taken that Mr. Carman has not long been associated with the bank; that he is a capable man to wind up its affairs, and that, | if the receiver is not interfered wifh and al- a OE WEEE Tae Hernarp Senvian Conrrsponprence published to-day affords an intelligent and interesting history of the rebellion and its causes and gives some graphic picturcs of Servian life.

The Honorable John Declines. “The Honorable John” steps down, but not out. He writes a striking letter to the patriotic gentlemen who on Saturday nomi- nated him as the anti-Tammany candidate in the Fourth Senatorial district against John Kelly’s nominee, ex-Supervisor John Fox, in which, while declining the honor thrust upon him, he deals the Tammany moguk some telling blows. ‘Tlie Honorable John,” in fact, defineshis position—and every scien- tifie boxer knows that his position was always agood one. He isa democrat—first and last democrat, because he has faith in the self-gov- erning intelligence of the masses, and because he believes that democratic principles, prop- erly administered, are the best for the peo- | ple. But “the Honorable John” does not believe in such democracy as is practised by the present managers of Tammany. He does not indorse the Tammany leaders’ in- terpetration of the principle of ‘home rule,” by which citizens of other States were brought to New York to preside over the municipal departinents. He does not admire Kelly and Wickham’s reduction of “the hard’ | @amed pittined’ of tie laborers” while the “high salaries” of the heads of departments. remain untouched. He doesnot approve the policy of refusing to renominate honest and deserving public officers simply because they refuse to be the tools of a centralizing parti- sanship. And while declining the Sena- torial nomination because unwilling to sub- ject his motives to criticism, he sympathizes with the spirit in the Fourth district which revolts against the candidacy of the other John, the associate Supervisor with Tweed and Hank Smith in the palmy days of the Ring. : “The Wonorable John” is, as usual, with the people. His sentiments are shared in by a large majority of the citizens of New York. | One hundred and thirty thousand free and | independent voters do not see why John Kelly should assume the part of King Carrot and expect them all to accept the characters of vassal vegetables. They do not know by what right Kelly claims to name their judges, district attorneys, coroners, Senators, Assemblymen and Aldermen for them, and to deny them any voice in the matter. They resolve that he shall not drive from the Bench an upright, fearless judge, whose crime is a “refusal to be the tool of a centralizing par- tisanship,” and shall not lay his hands upon. all the criminal offices of the county. So if “the Honorable John” will keep his muscles | trained and his conscience clear he will find’ a large majority of the voters of New York on his side at the polls. Mz. Moopy will close his labors at his; | home in Northfield this week, having held’ his last Sunday service in the North Congres gational church of that city yesterday. From the report of our correspondent it seems his efforts there have been characterized by their usual gratifying success, the opposition of the Unitarians, headed by Mr. Sunderland, having had na other bad effect than that of creating 2 division among themselves. In this age and coun. try, where the demands of religion are apt ta be lost sight of in the eager pursuit of mat ters purely temporal, it would seem ta | be the part of wisdom to welcome allmeans and methods for stirring up the community to ‘a consideration of spiritual things, and to this view at least all the evangelical clergymen of this city and vicinity have given their hearty con- sent. Tux Ban or New You« should unite with- out distinction of party in a demonstration in favor of the people's candidates, Hackett and Phelps. All who favor an upright judiciary and an honest administration of the laws should unite in denouncing John Kelly’s attempt to degrade the Bench for partisan purposes.
