at New York as Second-Ciass Mall Matter. VOLUME 44 .NO. 18,630. eR, A GOOD WORK WELL BEGUN, ~ Commissioner Keating will to-day swear in the In- Spectors of Licenses who are to have charge of the em- ployn it agencies, and the protective .neasures author- fzed by the Legislature for the safeguarding of domestic Merrants seeking places will become operative. Sixteen ot the eighteen inspectors provided for have been ap- Painted. They draw salaries of $1,500 a year. ‘The place ‘of Chief Inspector, with a salary of $3,000, and that of Deptity Chief, who will receive $2,000, are yet to be filled. ‘The law creating this bureau 1s the direct fruit of the agitation following the revelations of the dangers to which young girls have been exposed at the hands of unscrupulous agents acting in the interest of disorderly houses. The existence of these human harples, who cloaked an infamous traffic with the guise of respecta- bility, was a disgrace to the city, and the law designed to remedy the evil for which they were responsible is leg- {alation of the most commendable kind. ‘The work of tne three women inspectors should give the commission an efficiency not attainable with male inspectors only. THE CROWD THAT MINDED ITSELF, » By the official count 37,223 persons attended the base. hall game of last Saturday afternoon at the Polo Grounds. = The entire population of Galveston, Tex., in 1900, ‘was 87,789; that of Haverhill, Mass., 37,175. At the great battle of Antietam thé Confederates marshalled to the only 35,265 men. At the battle of the Wilderness Federal loss alone was 37,737, ‘The Polo Grounds gathering was sufficient to estab. a flourishing city of the third class. In numbers it %e have furnished forth an effective army. Let one ~ {ho saw it in its full proportions think of its every Smiember lying suddenly dead on the field, and the mind fecelves © new and terrible impression of the horrors 86t war. fas A regiment of policemen stood about the e1 of the ttowd. Apparently it preserved order. But the real ative of peace and safety within the baseball in- Fi losure was the watching host's own predominant good ‘ature and orderly good sense. The policemen were suf- Acient to restrain the few lawless individuals; they would have been helpless could the spirit of riot have selzed the 37,000. _ Growds for occasions grow aw all things else grow in , these popular days. The question is sometimes asked, What is to be done with them as they get bigger and ” bigger? The Polo Grounds instance furnishes the an- swer. Proper official precautions are to be taken against any mischievous rabble; the great, solid, self-respecting - body is to be leit to the comraand of its own sense of fesponsibility. A fine thing about being absolutely free is that it presents so large a privilege of being decent. KICKS THAT MAKE FOR PROGRESS, An oldest inhabitant comes forward to testify that @ven in 1816 New Yorkers were kicking about the loca) transit facilities, This !s pleasant intelligence, but not Surdrising. If nobody had kicked in those earlier years ~e might miss many accommodations out of these later aes, We have much to be grateful for in the memory .of the able citizens who, in 1815, were keeping the ball Of dissatisfaction rolling. “"'The kickers of ninety years ngo wont for lower fares nd got them. Instead of twenty-five cents for a stage ridefrom Charles street to theBattery, the fare became ‘twelve and a nalt cents. Progress and the kicking of ie three generations—much of the progress forced by the * Kicking—have brought local tiensit conditions to their "present standing, aud we are al! glad to think that the ‘end is not yet. .

Px Sap Ss iNEW STANDARD FOR WOMEN'S WORK. ‘The rcasons advanced for the removal of the women employed in the Chicago stockyards are doubtless logi- eal. Their work very likelf is “brutalizing,” as alleged, {apd “tends to dull the feminine sensibilities.” The in- teresting point is the assumed masculine aesthetic su- pervision of “feminine sensibilities.” ‘As far back aa 1890, as the census of that year showed, women had engaged in all the 220 recorded occupations men except two: they were disbarred from service In ie-army and navy. Many had become plumbers, stone- masons, charcoal burners, miners, bricklayers, &c. For * many of these trades women may have been thought to "be ‘physicaily unsuitable, and their representation in them likely to be reduced by a natural process of elim- ination. Apparently just the reverse has happened, __ While from come of tho more congenial pursuits, as from y office work for railroads, they have been ruled out be- arent eae of ineligibility for promotion to executive posi- > “tons. ‘The Chicago Packing-lHouse Union is the first to raise formally tie question of aesthetic eligibility.

Of course, any woman out of the veg- etable class can feel the difference. But how {s she to tell that the facts justify her feelings, and that the post-matri-) ¢ monial kiss perfunctory fs not just the natural, inevitable transition from the dream realm of romance to the real] % world of fact?

SEE,” ‘said the Cigar Store Man, “that the Inter- national Arbitration Conference at Mohonk Lake is going to call a congress to consider the adoption of a code of rules for the general conduct of warfare upon the sea,” — “Now wouldn't that make you feel as though you had been slapped on the wrist!” ejaculated the Man Higher Up. “When the arbitration boosters have their way a battle at sea will be a thing fo run excursions to. The rules will be something like this: “‘First—All sailors must wear evening dress after ¢ o'clock. “‘Second—All battles shall be advertised in the daily papers of the conflicting powers for six months is advance. ‘Third—The sleeping quarters of the crew must be furnished with brass beds and the windows must bt equipped with dace curtains. “ ‘Fourth—Nothing shall be eaten by officers or crewi that shall have a brutalizing influence. Fruit ané vegetables shall predominate on the menus. “ ‘Fitth—As the time for battle approaches the ships must not come closer to each other than six nautical miles. ‘ “‘Sixth—By prearranged agreement the commander of one of the fleets shall visit the other end fix the time for starting hostilities. “‘Seventh—At a given signal the crews of the com. bating ships shall load into small boats all the cannon balls, shells, guns, knives, pistols, razors, clubs, axea, saws, boxing gloves and other deadly weapons and con- vey them to the ships of the enemy. “‘Highth—The side effecting the transfer of wariike munitions first shall be declared the winner unless if can be shown that the sailors got their hands blistered or their feet wet.’” “That would be a foolish way to run a sea fight,” asserted the Cigar Store Man. | “It wouldn’t be any more foolish than any other ruleg looking; to ending of wars,” replied the Man Higher Up, “When the Ruler of the Universe determined to drive Lucifer out of Heaven He didn’t use any arbitration.
