LABOR DAY. ’ To-day's leber parade in this city promises to be the greatest ever, and it should be the most successful. Never has labor been more fully employed and beiter paid than it is to-day. The prosperity of the country continues and a certain share of that prosperity reaches the labor which produces it. Does the workman get his full share of the benefits of prosperity? As the parade passes down Fifth avenue between the splendid hovses of the rery rich ft will last Labor Day the value of Fifth avenue property and of the railroad and trust stocks owned by the residents has increased somewhat more rapidly than the pay of the workingman. But the workingman is not discontented. He knows when be is well off—which is more than can always be said of the capitalist. Look Out for Him.—It is announced that one of the Van- derhilts 1s xoing to try for the automobile record between ‘Newport and New York. We hope the authorities along ‘the line of his route will be on the lookout for him and try for the automobile-stopping record. A DEFINITION OF DEVERYISM. Devery has a gift of speech which The World has taken occasion to praise for its fluency, force and copl- “ousness. It appears that vocabularies more elegant may be just as forceful, and one such is the Rev. Mr. Pad- dock’s. From this divine, if the Ninth Assembly Dis- trict leader wishes instruction in rhetoric, he can learn as from a master, In the course of a sermon yesterday Mr. Paddock gave the Big Fellow a tongue-lashing marely surpassed in the history of political invective. He flayed him with words as he had never been flayed before. “Deveryis-1,” said the minister, “is a word which has come to etand for all that is vicious and corrupt and degrading in civil life. It means not alone inet- ficiency, not alone ignorance or waste of the public |; funds, but it means bribery, blood money; It means en- couraging anarchy; {t means the promotion of vice and “distress; it means ruin absolute and complete if al- lowed to continue.” No mincing of words, no drawing-room phrases these, but terms that fly like missiles, hitting and hurt- ing. A masterly arraignment. What will there be to offset its effect in the Ninth? More $10 coal for the poor and free groceries and references to clerical Two Spots? It needs something more. THE SCHOOL OUTLOOK, Within a week of the opening of the school year we learn that the number of children crowded out of the Public schools for lack of room will be greater than last year. This is progress backward with a vengeance. Last year 54,000 children were compelled to go on the half- day list, and the Van Wyck administration was held up to execration. In the intervening twelve months ac- commodations have been provided for just 8,200 chil- dren, while the normal increase 1s at least 26,000, and may be 38,000. . It is the same old story, favored contractors, pro- crastination, delay, no penalties for failure to keep con- tract, with the result that this year we will have seventy or eighty thousand children instead of fifty- four thousand cheated out of thelr right to full in- struction. THE DEFECTIVE BRAKE. Another collision between two loaded trolley cars with disastrous consequences is reported in the morning news of the city. As the result of a defective brake a West-bound erosstown car on One Hundred and Six- teenth street crashed into a south-bound Madison avenue var, Severely wounding a half dozen of the passengers | and Injuring every one of them more or less. | The rule of damages in such cases should be clear and explicit. When the injury to the passenger is unques- tionably the result of the neglect of the traction com- pany to maintain jts equipment there should be no de- » fense and a statutory award of damages should be col- Joctable at once. This ig the only safeguard for the travelling public and the only method of bringing the corporation to a sense of its duty. THE PROMISE OF MR. PLAT). Senator Platt fs quite certain that the coal strike will be over within two weeks at the utmost. He does not tell us what will be the terms of the settlement, nor does he tell us on what grounds he bases his confident asser- ton. We cannot recall a Monday in the past two months when some eminent authority bas not assured us with equal confidence that the strike was appros hing {ts end and that a resumption of mining might be ex- pected within a week. It is however, not difficult to divine the secret which inspires the sanguine hopes of Mr. Piatt. The conventions are at hand for the November elections, and in the three States chiefly affected by the strike it might be unfor- tunate for the Republican party if the should find the strike still going on. Mr. Platt is undoubtedly of the opinion that the exi- gencles of party politics now, as in 1900, will bring about a settlement which was denied to the request of the workmen and to the natural needs of the public wel- fare. Let us hope Mp, Piatt’s opinion is correct CONEY ISLAND.
